As Israel’s Gaza City offensive intensifies, the lack of a “fully articulated policy” on the part of Donald Trump’s White House means that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can move ahead with a “blank check” from the U.S., said Haaretz Washington correspondent Ben Samuels, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast. The message from Trump officials to Israel is “do what you need to do, just get it over with fast,” while in public statements, they have shifted to align with Israel’s “all-or-nothing” approach to a hostage deal. “Trump is not giving Israel a red light,” Samuels said. “To Israel, that means a green light.” On the podcast, Samuels analyzed the dramatic shifts in both the Republican and Democratic parties regarding Israel ahead of the 2026 midterms, predicting that the upcoming election will “be the one where Israel becomes a top-tier front-of-mind issue that could really divide voters and could really sway races one way or another” in both of the parties. With the GOP in particular, he noted, “a growing number of mainstream Republicans, along with the isolationist MAGA wing are openly asking, ‘Why are our dollars going to funding a foreign war rather than making the lives better for Americans at home?’” Democrats, he added, “are just not going to take what Israel's saying at face value anymore.” All of this contributes, he said, to the “inflection point” at which American Jews find themselves nearly two years into the Gaza war. “I think we are going to look at this as a foundational shift in how this generation and the next views the U.S.-Israel relationship, as well as the relationship of American Jews to Israel.” Read more: 'They Tend to Die': Trump Says Israel, Hamas May Sign Gaza Cease-fire Deal 'Very Soon,' and Repeated That Some of the Living Hostages May Have Died Trump Says Israel Has Lost Its 'Total Control' of Congress, Is Losing PR War Over Gaza The Dam Has Broken.

A summer of turmoil and near-total war as Iran and Israel trade shots, as the conflict between the two rivals almost plunges the world into a destructive war and total shutdown of oil trade in the region. As Israel accuses Iran of nearly building a nuclear weapon the US, under President Trump, carries out a strike against nuclear facilities. The first direct American military action carried out against the Islamic Republic. Although there is a pause in fighting for the moment, a new round of fighting is likely to follow, with even worse consequences for the global economy. In the US as well, President Trump passed the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill", which will have far-reaching economic effects, such as cuts to Medicaid and SNAP services.For early ad-free access support the program on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon

In this episode of Booksmart, Randa Abdel-Fattah sits down with Soaliha for a powerful conversation that spans her brand-new novel Discipline, the controversies rocking Australia's literary scene, and the realities of racism and resistance today across the country and beyond. Together, they unpack Randa's decision to speak out against the Bendigo Writers Festival - where more than 50 writers and hosts withdrew in solidarity after a restrictive code of conduct was sent just days before the event, that authors said silenced people from speaking out and criticising Israel. Randa and Soaliha also discuss the so-called “March for Australia” rally and what it reveals about race, identity, and public discourse in this country.At the heart of the conversation is Randa's new book Discipline. Set in Sydney during May 2021, it follows Ashraf, an academic in freefall, and Hannah, a young journalist grappling with racism in the newsroom and the demands of new motherhood. As Israel's bombardment of Gaza intensifies during Ramadan, both are forced to reckon with their choices, values, and silences. With its sharp focus on academia and the media, Discipline asks what we're willing to sacrifice in the pursuit of justice.Randa is also an ARC Future Fellow at Macquarie University, a lawyer, and the award-winning author of twelve books for children and young adults, translated into more than thirteen languages. Her writing and research centre Islamophobia, race, Palestine, youth identities and activism, and her work has been recognised by awards including the Stella Prize, the NSW and Victorian Premiers' Literary Awards, and the Prime Minister's Literary Award.We hope this Booksmart episode will leave you thinking differently about literature, politics, and the responsibility of those with a platform to speak (and go and grab a copy of the book while you're at it!).

The LORD causes the warning trumpet to sound again as Assyria waits to scavenge God's people, who are already dead in their idolatry, even though they do not realize it. Israel has been ruled by unauthorized kings, and they worship worthless idols, just as their fathers had once done even at the foot of Mount Sinai. As Israel multiplies their altars, they only multiply their sins. The LORD will not receive their idolatrous worship, for Israel has forgotten that the LORD is her Creator and Redeemer.  Rev. Dr. Roger Paavola, president of the Mid-South District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Hosea 8:1-14.  “Majoring in the Minors” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Micah, and Nahum. Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly challenged the assertion that starvation is rampant in Gaza, most recently when he slammed a UN report on famine as “blood libel.” On the Haaretz Podcast, Yarden Michaeli takes listeners behind the scenes of his in-depth reporting with Nir Hasson on the scale of severe acute malnutrition in Gaza. As Israel continues to bar journalists from entering the Strip, Michaeli and Hasson virtually “toured” clinics and hospitals in Gaza – including the pediatric ward of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. Israel struck the hospital on Monday, killing multiple healthcare and media workers, including Moaz Abu Taha, the photographer who guided the Haaretz reporters through Nasser. As Michaeli “toured” the wards of Nasser, he saw children who were “very thin, with weak, glazed eyes, clearly severely malnourished with markers of starvation, like changes to their hair color, missing spots of hair on their head, missing teeth and rashes on their skin.” The condition of children, he was told by experts, are the earliest signs of large-scale famine in a population. “The fact that the marks of starvation are already visible on adults in Gaza shows that this whole situation is in an advanced stage,” said Michaeli. “We're not at the beginning. We're far and deep into the process.” Read more: 'Starvation Is Everywhere': Virtual Tours of Gaza Clinics Expose the Scale of the Horror UN Says Over Half a Million Palestinians in Gaza Suffering From Famine; Netanyahu: 'Outright Lie' Alex de Waal: 'Pasta Won't Help.

As Israel continues to prepare for the conquest, God miraculously orchestrates the crossing of the Jordan River. There are many similarities to the Red Sea crossing from Exodus, but several key differences. Israel was learning to wait on God, trust His commands, and step out in faith.

The LORD calls the leaders of His people to account. Although Israel does not know Him, He knows Israel and sees the prideful idolatry that infects both the northern and southern kingdoms. The LORD says that the warning trumpet must sound, for He is bringing His judgment, slowly but surely. As Israel continues to look for help in the wrong places, the LORD promises to return to His place until His people turn to Him in repentance again.  Rev.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. This morning, Hamas released a statement saying that Israel’s military plans to conquer Gaza City show its “blatant disregard” for efforts to broker a ceasefire and hostage release deal in the nearly two-year conflict. As Israel continues to weigh the partial, phased truce proposal accepted by the terror group on Sunday, we hear about the various forms of backlash faced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- for both the Gaza City op and for the possibility of ending the war without achieving all war goals. As a slew of international nations announce their potential readiness to recognize a Palestinian state in September, a recent poll found that a 58 percent majority of Americans believe that every country in the United Nations should recognize Palestine as a nation. The issue of a "two-state solution" couldn't be farther from most Israelis' minds. Horovitz delves into why the flirting with recognizing Palestine -- now, during this war -- is drawing such passion from Israeli leadership, including Netanyahu in his dealings with his Australian counterpart.Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

As Israel's war in Gaza nears its second full year since October 7th, 2023, multiple aid agencies and humanitarian groups have said that the prevalence of famine within the strip has gone beyond critical levels, with elderly Palestinians now succumbing to malnutrition-related deaths alongside the deaths amongst children that were reported earlier this year. Israel, who have maintained a blockade on the Gaza strip since 2007, began significantly restricting the amount of aid entering the enclave following the beginning of the war. While spokespeople from the government have told the international community they were allowing adequate levels of aid to enter the strip during humanitarian pauses, humanitarian groups have said the volume of aid entering the strip was far below the level needed, and that reported attacks on both aid workers and Palestinians waiting for aid by IDF personnel weakened Israel's claims of distributing aid effectively.  Oto spoke to Dr Ritesh Shah, a Senior Lecturer Critical Studies in Education at the University of Auckland to discuss why Israel has been facing international condemnation for its handling of aid distribution in Gaza.

What if your greatest fear was also the key to unlocking the strength God has placed within you? In this week's installment of our Imperfect Heroes series, Brian delves into the remarkable yet relatable journey of Gideon. Though dubbed a “mighty man of valor,” Gideon grapples with fear and insecurity, often choosing to hide instead of embracing his divine calling. Brian illustrates this vividly, likening Gideon's hesitations to the way we often let self-doubt overshadow our identity in Christ. As Israel struggles under oppression, Gideon learns through his encounters with God that fear can displace faith and lead to misplaced trust. God patiently reassures Gideon through miraculous signs but eventually challenges him to put his faith in the divine rather than the tangible—reducing his army from 33,000 to just 300, underscoring that victory relies on Him alone. This powerful message resonates profoundly with anyone facing personal battles, reminding us that our true strength lies in acknowledging our vulnerabilities and placing our trust in God's promises. Join us as we reflect on our fears and pursue a faith that transcends doubt. Don't miss this chance to be inspired—watch the full sermon today!

As Israel prepares to enter the land, Moses recounts their journey and the lessons learned. This portion reminds us how easily fear and unbelief can delay destiny. Moses urges the people to remember God's faithfulness and not repeat the mistakes of the past. D'varim challenges us to reflect, grow, and move forward with courage and trust in His promises.D'varimDeuteronomy 1:1 - 3:22Receptacle for Living WaterStay ConnectedLinktree: https://linktr.ee/jacobstentWebsite: https://jacobstent.org/Facebook: @jacobstentfellowshipInstagram: @jacobstentDownload Our App: https://jacobstent.org/appGiving: https://jacobstent.org/giveEmail Signup: http://eepurl.com/g-YpcDJoin us for our Shabbat service with Bill Cloud and the Jacob's Tent Family!If you are enjoying this live stream, PLEASE consider sending in an offering, tithe, or donation to help us continue spread the gospel free from Jacob's Tent.

In this episode, we break down the shocking move by European leaders—specifically Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron—to recognize a Palestinian state while echoing Hamas's propaganda about a so-called starvation crisis in Gaza. This isn't just political posturing—it's a dangerous endorsement that plays directly into the hands of a terror group responsible for the October 7 massacre. As Israel continues to fight for its survival, the West's willingness to reward Hamas sends a chilling message. It's a betrayal that can't be ignored.

In this message, Nic teaches from Exodus 35–36, exploring how God's presence, purpose, and beauty intersect with everyday work and community life. As Israel begins constructing the tabernacle, the emphasis shifts from detailed instructions to willing participation, showing that sacred work must be done in God's way and rhythm—beginning with rest and Sabbath. The Spirit empowers not just priests, but artisans like Bezalel, illustrating that all vocations—whether creative, manual, or managerial—can reflect God's beauty and serve His kingdom. Every skill, resource, and act of obedience becomes part of a larger invitation to build God's dwelling together. The message calls listeners to reimagine their vocation as a Spirit-filled expression of worship, participate in the shared mission of the Church, and pursue God's presence as the guiding force behind everything they do.

We delve into the era of the judges, focusing on the extraordinary story of Deborah and Jael. As Israel faces severe oppression under Jabin, king of Canaan, and his commander Sisera, God raises up Deborah, a prophetess and judge, who calls Barak to lead an army against their enemies. Despite Barak's initial fear, he follows Deborah's guidance to victory. However, the ultimate glory goes to Jael, a non-Israelite woman, who kills Sisera, fulfilling a prophecy of Deborah.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We delve into the story of deception involving the Gibeonites. As Israel continues its conquest of Canaan, they encounter the Gibeonites, who, fearing for their lives, deceive Joshua and the leaders into making a peace treaty. This agreement violated God's command not to make covenants with the inhabitants of Canaan. Despite realizing the deception, Joshua honors the treaty due to their oath to Yahweh, making the Gibeonites perpetual laborers for Israel. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

This week we dive deep into the story of Jephthah, a man scorned by his community for being the son of a prostitute but recognized by God as a mighty man of valor. The narrative explores themes of judgment, redemption, and the resilience of faith against adversity. As Israel turns away from God, worshiping multiple false gods, they face prolonged oppression from the Ammonites. In a twist of fate, Jephthah is called upon to lead the Israelites into battle against their oppressors, despite being previously cast out. The latter part of the episode transitions to the rule of several subsequent judges, highlighting the cyclical nature of Israel's faithfulness and rebellion against God. Finally, we are introduced to the birth of Samson and the beginnings of his tumultuous journey as a Nazirite. Interspersed with personal reflections, the episode calls listeners to examine their own faith journeys, encouraging them to seek God's truth and embrace true repentance. 00:00 Introduction to Jephthah: The Gileadite 01:21 Israel's Rebellion and God's Response 02:33 Jephthah's Leadership and Negotiation 03:47 The Ammonite Conflict and Spiritual Lessons 05:15 Personal Reflections on Faith and Salvation 07:54 A Prayer for Salvation 09:35 The Consequences of Victory and Obedience 11:47 The Ephraimite Confrontation 17:17 The Test of Dialect and Speech 21:17 Quiet Faithfulness of Israel's Judges 23:13 The Quiet Life of Service 24:30 Review of Judges and Transition to Samson 25:00 Introduction to Samson's Birth 28:18 The Nazarite Vow and Its Significance 33:46 Manoah's Encounter with the Angel of the Lord 44:47 Samson's Birth and Early Life 45:06 Preview of Samson's Story

What do you do when your life is falling apart, and you've run out of options—can God still meet you there? Is there any hope for those who have failed God repeatedly?In this final message from our “The Search For A King” series, Pastor Josiah explores the theme of “IF”—those pivotal moments in life that center on trust, obedience, and the faithfulness of God. As Israel stands at a national crossroads, having demanded a king and rebelled against the Lord, Samuel confronts them with their sin, warns them of its consequences, and yet offers them hope rooted in God's steadfast mercy. IF we reject God, we face ruin; but IF we return to Him, He is faithful to forgive us and redeem us from the pit. Through a gospel-centered lens, this sermon shows how our repeated failures can never outmatch God's covenantal grace. Jesus, the true and better King, succeeds where Saul—and all of us—fail. And in Him, we hear the everlasting assurance for every believer: “God's got you!”

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Israel is said to be hoping to finalize a comprehensive Gaza deal before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the White House next week, Magid discusses the details and complexities of the ongoing hostage negotiations, including a framework of a two-month truce in which 10 living hostages would be returned and the bodies of 18 deceased hostages. Magid reports on the political implications of Netanyahu's upcoming visit to the White House next week, and the possibility of the two leaders celebrating the successful military campaign against Iran. He also notes that while a ceasefire is being negotiated for Gaza, Netanyahu's rhetoric still suggests an ongoing military campaign. The humanitarian aid distribution in Gaza continues to be exacerbated by the conflict and Magid discusses the Ha'aretz report of excessive IDF fire at aid distribution sites, leading to an IDF investigation into potential war crimes.

James Carville joins Joanna Coles for a bracing tour through the foreign policy civil war inside MAGA—and why it could tear the coalition. As Israel and Iran square off, so do Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and Tulsi Gabbard versus Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Mark Levin. Carville breaks down the long-simmering ideological rift now boiling over, and why Trump's strategic confusion—especially in the Middle East—is dangerous not just for Republicans, but for global stability. He explains why Trump “couldn't find Iran on a globe,” how Tucker's pro-Russia leanings go back decades, and why Americans aren't nearly scared enough about what's coming. Plus: what Carville says is the real cost of Republican loyalty to Trump, and how Democrats can seize this moment—if they're smart. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
