Can Israel truly go it alone? Drawing on Chaim Weizmann's pragmatism, Ben-Gurion's faith in miracles, and Rav Kook's timeless insight, Rabbi Dunner explores the balance between alliances and divine providence. As Vayeilech and the High Holy Days remind us, the Jewish people's survival rests not on geopolitics but on our unbreakable covenant with God.

Impossible choices haunt every war. John Spencer, executive director of the Urban Warfare Institute, joins Live from the Table to confront the hardest questions raised by Israel's war against Hamas. How are civilian deaths justified in war? Can Israel defeat Hamas ? What does it mean to fight an enemy that will not protect its own people? Is Israel held to a different standard than other nations Difficult questions, no easy answers.

As a UN commission concludes that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and international pressure grows with more nations, including the UK, moving toward recognising a Palestinian state, is there any hope for a two-state solution?Can Israel and Palestine ever coexist side by side in peace, or has the violence, mistrust and the events of October the 7th and its aftermath made that dream impossible?In this special extended episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined in Jerusalem by Alan Baker, a former legal adviser to Israel's foreign ministry who helped draft the Oslo Accords, Yariv Oppenheimer, a human rights lawyer, Dr. Hassan Jabareen, the head of Adalah - The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights, and the former managing editor of the Jerusalem Post Tovah Lazaroff. In relation to some of the claims made in the podcast, Israel's Foreign Ministry has categorically rejected the UN commission's report calling it "distorted and false" and Israel has always strenuously denied all claims of genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid in relation to the Palestinian people.

What's it like to live on the frontlines of biblical prophecy and modern warfare? In this gripping conversation, we are joined by Dan Eshed, a third-generation Israeli and IDF soldier who shares firsthand what life is like just an hour from Gaza.  From serving in Gaza and Lebanon to navigating the heartbreak of hostages, Dan reveals the deeply human and spiritual layers of Israel's ongoing fight for survival. They discuss the challenges of distinguishing civilians from Hamas operatives, the global misunderstanding of Zionism, and the raw tension between justice, mercy, and truth.  Dan's insights are both sobering and hopeful as he describes how solidarity, biblical identity, and divine calling shape Israel's unshakable resilience - even under fire. If you want to understand Israel beyond the headlines - from a biblical, historical, and personal lens - this episode will challenge and inspire you. Key Takeaways: Zionism isn't political - it's biblical. Dan unpacks what Zionism really means and how opposition to it often masks anti-Semitism. War on multiple fronts. Hear how Israel is balancing battles in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria while remaining a beacon of life and light. Tourism as mission. Dan shares why bringing believers to Israel is more than sightseeing - it's spiritual transformation. Media bias and spiritual warfare. The battle Israel faces is not just physical but deeply spiritual, with truth often lost in global narratives.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice open today's show talking about starvation in Gaza. How do we find ourselves here, and what can be done about it? While it is true that Hamas steals food to sell on the black market to pay its fighters, there is no justification for using food as a weapon. Can Israel recover from this moral stain? And why is Hamas not subject to international pressure to release the hostages that could end this war? Both Rudyard and Janice agree that the time is over for diplomatic solutions. International security forces need to intervene and put an end to this conflict. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to France's intention to recognize Palestinian Statehood at the UN in September. This might not be welcome news to the Palestinian Authority and its leader Mahmoud Abbas as it comes with expectations of governance and elections. How does a statement or recognition actually change events on the ground? Is it enough to break through the defensive shield Bibi has built around himself? Ultimately, If this declaration does nothing to change Palestinian leadership or Israel's control over the West Bank, then it is nothing more than empty rhetoric with no consequence.

Open warfare has crossed the Middle East, and in its wake came an erosion of the norms of statesmanship and the power of international law to avert conflict. What are the implications for deterrence, diplomacy, and the future of UK, US, and regional strategy? In this episode of Global Security Briefing, host Neil Melvin is joined by RUSI experts Burcu Ozcelik and Michael Stephens to assess whether the Middle East is on the cusp of fundamental transformation or simply entering another volatile chapter. With the region rocked by Hamas' October 2023 attacks, a devastating war in Gaza, direct military strikes between Iran and Israel, and renewed US intervention, long-held assumptions about deterrence, regional power balances, and the limits of escalation have been upended. As Prime Minister Netanyahu meets President Trump in Washington, the episode explores how far the region has shifted and whether latest confrontations mark the end of 'grey-zone' conflicts and the emergence of a new order shaped by overt state-to-state warfare. Has Iran's deterrence crumbled? Can Israel claim strategic success? Are Gulf states and the US recalibrating their roles? And what does all this mean for the future of Gaza, the Arab-Israeli process of diplomatic normalisation, and UK foreign policy?

Israel and Iran are trading missiles. A hospital's been hit. Thirty injured. Israel's fired back — hard — targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Inside Iran? Chaos. Power's out. Hackers hijack state TV, urging revolt. And Donald Trump? He's green-lit Pentagon war plans — but is holding fire. For now.We've got The Telegraph's best on the ground: Sophia Yan in Beirut, Paul Nuki in Tel Aviv, and David Blair in the studio. Lebanon's on edge. Israel's braced. And the big question — will Trump strike? Or let Israel go it alone? The team also debates the broader stakes: Can Israel halt Iran's nuclear ambitions without American help? Could the regime in Tehran collapse? And what happens if Hezbollah stays silent? With so many moving parts, this episode dives deep into the decisions and dangers shaping what may become the defining war of the decade.https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

The conflict between Israel and Iran shows no sign of easing and the threat of US involvement has heightened concerns about a war that is rapidly getting out of control. How does this end? Can Iran be forced away from building a nuclear bomb? Can Israel be reassured about its security? Is there a way to de-escalate when none of those involved seem to want that? Phil and Roger quiz Simon Mabon, Professor of International Politics at the University of Lancaster Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Israel's surprise attacks last week against Iranian leadership targets, nuclear and military facilities, and Iran's retaliation with ballistic missiles, have pushed the Israeli-Iranian conflict into unknown territory. Unlike the confrontations of April and October of 2024, this new phase is deadlier and shows no signs of abating. What are Israel's and Iran's objectives? Can Israel destroy Iran's nuclear program? What are the prospects for U.S. military intervention? And if there is a diplomatic off ramp, how would it defuse the current crisis and produce longer term stability?  Join Aaron David Miller as he engages Sima Shine, of Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, and Ali Vaez, of the International Crisis Group, in conversation on the current Israeli-Iranian conflict on the next Carnegie Connects.

Five days in, Israel's battle to destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure continues. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched the campaign in the wake of a decision by the IAEA Board to censure Iran a resolution declaring that Iran is in breach of its non-proliferation obligations, one day past a Donald Trump imposed deadline of 60 days for Iran to agree to relinquish its uranium enrichment capabilities. Iran has responded with indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets in Israel. Can Israel destroy Iran's nuclear program? Is that possible without the United States? What role will the United States play? And can the Tehran regime survive? Haviv Gur is a veteran Israeli journalist who serves as Senior Analyst for The Times of Israel.

The current Israel/Hamas/Hezbollah war and the Biden administration's slow-walking of crucial arms to Israel has reignited the debate on US military aid to Israel on both the right and the left.

  US Election comments Listerner questions answered Mike Benz on the Tucker Carlson show Watch Here Donald Trump won the 2024 US Presidential election! Will the perturbed liberal celebrities actually move out of the United States now, or just blowing wind? Trump received help from Joe Rogan, Carlson Tucker, Elon Musk, Megyn Kelly & others. The FBI had many agent provocateurs in the crowd, dressed as Trump supporters, egging people on. The media has constantly attacked Trump, ignoring his accomplishments. What has Kamala done? People would have voted for Trump simply because they didn't want Kamala as their representative. Jim feels Biden's foreign policies were very bad, he's pretty close to being a Neo Con. Biden refused to negotiate on the situation in Ukraine. Why would Boris Johnson travel to Ukraine & have Zelenskyy cancel the Peace Treaty? Over $100 billion has been spent on the Ukraine war at this point without a Peace Treaty. Why? Jim listens to Scott Ritter & Colonel Douglas MacGregor, both are on Twitter/X. Len listens to US Economist Jeffrey Sachs & Mike Benz, former State Department whistleblower. Len explains the goal of Ukraine supporters to bankrupt Russia, pulling Russia into unnecessary war. FK threatened to "pull the plug" when there wasn't even a war going on to stop the Dimona project. Biden hasn't protested Israel's targeted genocide against Palestine, Jim feels Biden has been a failure in Israel & the Middle East, continuing to fund illegal wars. Israel has now expanded their war into Lebanon & Iran. Hezbollah has over 100,000 troops that are highly organized & they've stymied Israel's advance. Jim feels Trump doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time & runs off at the mouth. Trump makes inaccurate claims at time, his understanding of events & history is often wrong. Iran started to build their missile arsenal after being attacked by Iraq in the 1980's. JFK would say "we can compete with the Russians, we don't have to be enemies with everyone". Iran has 15,000 missiles! They are set to buy the latest generation fighter jet from Russia! Russia & China have both helped Iran build up their military & arsenal. Israel's F35 attack against Iran didn't go so well with Iran having fantastic radar & military. Israel is now fighting Hamas, Hezbol'ah & Iran. Can Israel win on all three fronts? Bill Clinton was sent to Michigan for the election, expressing his anti-Palestine views. Clinton was shut down when it was pointed out Israel had recently murdered 43,000 Palestine natives. Kamala Harris ended up losing Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania destroying the 'Blue Wall'. Kamala had the Clintons, the Obamas & celebrities going around the country to rally & she still lost. Jim feels Bernie Sanders would have beat Trump in 2016 if he had run instead of Hillary Clinton. A book should be written about everything that has happened to RJK Jr. over the past four years. Jim's protest vote went to Jill Stein, the Green Party's 2024 presidential nominee.  

Our cell phones are collecting way more data on us than we think, and it's shockingly easy for Big Tech, government agencies, and a wide array of bad actors to access it. Glenn speaks with Erik Prince, retired Navy SEAL and the founder of the private military contractor Blackwater, and Ryan Paterson, retired Marine and Big Tech insider, about their new venture, Unplugged, which aims to solve this massive personal security breach. Erik and Ryan explain how anyone who buys our data can learn our routines, discover who we are, and even know which side of the bed we sleep on: “It's worse than George Orwell even imagined.” Erik and Ryan also address excuses like, “They already have all my data,” or, “I have nothing to hide.” But first, Glenn speaks with Erik about his incredible backstory: Why did he, the son of a successful entrepreneur, become a Navy SEAL and start Blackwater? Erik also provides insight on the conflicts around the world: Can Trump stop the war between Russia and Ukraine? Can Israel free Iran from Islamist tyranny? Was America's war in Iraq for nothing? Is the Chinese Communist Party our greatest adversary? What did Trump's comments about “the enemy within” really mean? Plus, he shares his plan for how to make the U.S. military both less expensive and more efficient at the same time.   Disclaimer: Unplugged is a sponsor of "The Glenn Beck Program."   Sponsors: We live in crazy times.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. The following is a sample of the Munk Debates' weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus. Rudyard and Janice open the show with the big news of the week: the death of Yahya Sinwar. How significant is his death to the current conflict? How will Israel's allies and adversaries take advantage of this moment to get a framework in place for Gaza's future? Can Israel convert their string of tactical victories to a strategic success? Meanwhile, with Iran suffering loss after loss and desperate to save face, it would be foolhardy to assume that because Sinwar is dead the danger is over. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn their attention to the US election. With only twenty days to go, their focus is on Donald Trump's fixation with tariffs that would likely become a key part of American fiscal policy should he win in November. Rudyard and Janice worry that his skewed understanding of tariffs will increase inflation and have devastating consequences on the American economy and particularly the working class he so famously champions.

Others are just as sharp, but the interview is an entirely different experience. I feel silly being this dramatic, so forgive me; it just seems that what follows is the proper extended metaphor to describe our conversation. Rashid crackles with energy when he talks, just as if he were a fighter. Even if he's not using his fists, his cadence is like a boxer's and I had to roll with the punches. This was another great one, and as usual I bear very little responsibility beyond sticking it out in the ring. I'm going to resist the urge to make any more boxing comments and instead finish with this: Thanks for listening. - Robinson P.S. In a number of recent episodes I've mentioned Maui Nui Venison, which is a company operating out of Hawaii that manages the invasive deer population of Maui that is decimating the landscape. Instead of culling the animals and disposing of their bodies, the meat is butchered and sold. It is the only meat I eat, full-stop, and the ethical reasons are sufficient for this, but it is also the best meat that I have ever eaten. I reached out to Maui Nui and told them that I support what they are doing and would like to be of any help that I can. They gave me this coupon code—ROBINSON—which you can use for 20% off. I am not being paid for this in any way. I believe in what they are doing and I want this model to succeed. People are going to be eating meat for the foreseeable future and I would be happier if it was not factory-farmed meat. So please check Maui Nui out and give them a try! --- Rashid Khalidi is the Edward Said Professor Emeritus of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University. He was editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies, President of the Middle East Studies Association, and an advisor to the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid and Washington Arab-Israeli peace negotiations from October 1992 until June 1993. In this episode, Rashid and Robinson discuss the history that culminated in October 7th, 2023, what has happened since then, and what might happen in the future. More particularly, they talk about Zionism, the Nakba, how Gaza was created, the war between Israel and Hamas, Egypt's role in the crisis, the question of genocide, and the future of Palestine.

It has been one year since the start of the war in Gaza. What started with an appalling crime was repaid with further crimes and relentless tragedy. This week on The New Arab Voice podcast, on the anniversary of the start of the war in Gaza, we look at three aspects: health, justice, and future.What is state of healthcare in Gaza? How much aid is getting in? What disease are spreading? What toll has 12 months of brutal conflict had on people's mental health?What is the state of the international criminal case against the leaders of Hamas and Israel? What is the timeline for international litigation? Can Israel be protected by its allies? Is the ICC still a deterrent?What will the 'day after' in Gaza look like? Who will pay for the reconstruction, and will the situation every be suitable for reconstruction? And who will govern Gaza in the future.

Reminder: Please like and subscribe to my channel. Halfway Through a 2 Year War? That's what Kenneth Abramowitz, author of “The Multifront War” discusses as he joins Rose. The organizations and countries that hate Jews hate God and they hate the rule of law. After all, Jews and Christians created  the  Judeo-Christian values and beliefs we practice. Iran leadership hates Americans and Christians as well. The War in Israel 2 Years and no more predicts Kenneth Abramowitz Netanyahu speech at UN as massive attack on Hezbollah being prepared. Is there opportunity for Lebanon to begin again as a sovereign state? Can Israel save the Arabs in Gaza from Hamas, Arabas and Christians in Lebanon from Hezbollah, and the Iranian people from the Iranian death cult running the country. Israel is essentially saving America from the existential risk from Iran.   For more information and to order the book; “The Multifront War” https://savethewest.com  Rose's Sponsors: Please Support!!! www.mypillow.com Promo Code: ROSE www.patriotmobile.com/rose www.americansforprosperity.org --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rose-unplugged/support

What drew me to establish a friendship with Mark Kennedy, a Jewish political guru, through Facebook, was his well-informed, almost insider-esque, take on all things foreign policy and politics. For years, Mark and I would talk about U.S. politics, the Middle East, and all other hotspots world-wide, to the point where I knew I had to have Mark on as a featured guest on the Taking Back the Narrative podcast. Join us as we weave from where things stand in Israel today - from the North, Gaza, Eilat, hostage rescue progress, to Iran. We also broach the uncomfortable discussion of how much did Israel know before the Jewish genocide - the military, government, and the absolute brainwashing within the Arab occupier populations in both Gaza and in Judea & Samaria for nearly 80 years. Is there a Fifth Column in Israel?Can Israel sustain being a democracy? Why Tikkun Olam has long been bastardized. And of course, Mark expertly shares his insight on the upcoming American election, and how Jews are part of the political shift back towards President Trump in America.

Savage criticizes Harris for her lack of attachment to policies and labels her the "Queen of in Between." He blasts the Biden Administration's incompetence and reveals that Jill Biden is operating as the de facto president. He shares his concern about the influence of social media, the dangers of ultra-tolerance, and the potential destruction of civilization. He emphasizes the importance of spiritual guidance and support during challenging times, particularly under the Biden Harris administration. He then discusses the Middle East and the war in Israel. Can Israel avoid a large-scale ground war or is it inevitable? He reflects on how we arrived at this point and turns to the Bible for insight. He references a book he wrote called "The Savage Republic" and quotes a passage about God distinguishing between holy and profane. He declares the Biden Administration the most profane administration in American history with many dangerous social and political leftists surrounding the President. He reads a paragraph from the book, discussing how the sexual liberation movement led to crime, disease, drug use, open borders, and closed minds. He then draws parallels between Hitler's emergence and the current political climate in America, warning that the internationalists or socialists, represented by figures like Kamala Harris, will destroy everything worth living for if they win the election. He exposes socialism as the philosophy of failure and equity's origins from Robespierre and the French Revolution. Savage argues that he'd rather be oppressed in capitalism than starved by socialism.

After two days of unprecedented attacks on Hezbollah's old-school communications devices, we ask how Iran's subsidiaries might react. Can Israel's actions be forgiven as an act of war when it knew there would be civilian casualties? And does a failure to make an impact with previous revenge attempts by Hezbollah leave them with no choice but to start a war? The Times' former Middle East correspondent, Richard Spencer analyses the options for the Iran-backed proscribed terror group.The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.

Are Israel and Iran rolling towards a regional war? Can Israel still rely on the United States as an ally? Is the war in Gaza over and did Hamas already win? Adaam is joined by senior Yedioth Ahronoth reporter Nadav Eyal, political commentator and author of The War of Return Einat Wilf, and Advisory Opinions special guest (and New York Times columnist) David French to discuss the balance of power in the Middle East.

Fifty years after the Yom Kippur War, Israel's vaunted military and intelligence establishment again failed to protect the Jewish state. What must it do to regain its reputation and deterrence? Former Israeli deputy national-security adviser Chuck Freilich joined Bret Stephens for a conversation on his recent SAPIR article, "Can Israel's Intelligence Services Be Saved?"

TNT Radio host Patrick Henningsen speaks with award-winning Yemeni journalist Yousef Mawry, about how Ansar Allah (aka ‘The Houthies') have significantly raised the military stakes in the Middle East deterring Israeli economic trade, as well as U.S. and British naval dominance in the region. We talk about Yemen's new hypersonic missiles and its accuracy against naval vessels in the Red Sea and beyond. This also changes the balance of power away from Western-allied Gulf powers like Saudi Arabia and the UAE in favour of Iran and its Axis of Resistance cohort. Will this be a game-changer going forward? Can Israel be forced to stop its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza?  More from Yousef: X/Twitter  TUNE-IN LIVE to TNT RADIO for the Patrick Henningsen Show every MON-FRI at 4PM-6 PM (NEW YORK) | 9PM-11PM (LONDON) https://tntradio.live

What is the IDF's end game with Hezbollah? Can Israel really fight a two-front war on its Southern and Northern border? Is avoiding a full-scale with the Iran-backed militia even desirable?Journalist and author Caroline Glick discusses all this with the Herut Center's CEO Amiad Cohen. He argues that Israel must take back all of southern Lebanon while seeking to prevent a Groundhog Day situation with Hezbollah. Anyone trying to make sense of the North needs to listen to this! 

Can Israel overcome the mounting threats it now faces? Savage explores this controversial subject and more in a prescient monologue. He shares a Jewish mysticism story about a Rabbi and his son who received apparent curses from sages that were actually blessings in disguise. He encourages listeners to learn to decipher their negative experiences as hidden blessings. He emphasizes that not all Jews, including those in the Biden Administration, truly understand or accept the concept of God. It is essential not to condemn all Jews, or any group, based on the actions of a few. He discusses the concept of equality in Judaism and the importance of recognizing the basic equality of all people despite their differences. He draws on historic parallels to understand the current conflict between the Jews and the Palestinians. As records have been manipulated and destroyed in the past, the progressives are also rewriting history before our eyes. Weaving the political and the spiritual, Savage speculates on the future of Israel and the fate of the United States in this exceptional broadcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

Can Israel truly receive a fair trial according to the moral standards of the West if Western civilization is fundamentally rooted in a Christian worldview? Yehuda HaKohen is joined by Professor Jeremy England to discuss his recent piece, Live by the Law or Die on the Cross, and the extent to which Israel could hope to survive and thrive as a Jewish state in a Western-led global order inherently based on a Christian ideological paradigm.

Can Israel ignore the pressure?Young people outraged by the graphic images of the Rafah tent fire that killed dozens of civilians out in the streets of Paris and Marseille, this as Ireland, Norway and Spain recognize a Palestinian state and international courts mount cases over the war in Gaza.  A war that could last another seven months, says a top official in Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Fact is, Israeli citizens are also traumatized by October 7th and its aftermath but not seeing the same images as the rest of the world on their social media feeds. Then there's Israel's biggest backer, with a Biden administration that so far refuses to say that Israel's operation in Rafah crosses its red lines and a Republican opposition that is 100-percent behind Netanyahu. In past Middle East wars, it is often the US that has been the one to call time. Why after nearly eight months, is this time different? Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Juliette Brown. 

Dr. Owen Strachan is joined by Ryan Helfenbein, the VP for Communications at Liberty University and the Founding Executive Director of the Standing for Freedom Center, to discuss the anti-Israel protests that have swept over college campuses. What's behind these protests? Can Israel be criticized without being antisemitic? How does wokeness factor into what we're seeing? Dr. Strachan and Mr. Helfenbein answer these questions and a lot more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Biden administration and international public opinion up the pressure on Israel to suspend its campaign against an enemy sworn to destroy it, the right of the Jewish state to defend itself seems to be challenged. Can Israel finish the job against Hamas? Will Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remain in office despite fierce domestic criticism? What are the wider geopolitical issues at stake? On this episode of the Potomac Watch podcast, policy analyst Reuel Marc Gerecht tells Gerry Baker why an occupation of Gaza by Israel is likely necessary, how pro-Palestinian voters in the United States have influence over Joe Biden's policy decisions, and why Iran and questions about its nuclear program continue to linger over the entire war.

Yesterday, David French published an article in The New York Times comparing Israel's war in Gaza to the U.S. war in Iraq. Can Israel learn from our mistakes? Boyd breaks down French's article and how The New York Times is thinking about this issue.

Today's disagreement is about the relationship between Israel and American Jews. To have this conversation, we've brought together two prominent American Rabbis with two very different perspectives on the current conflict. The GuestsRabbi Stuart Weinblatt founded Congregation B'Nai Tzedek in Potomac, Maryland in 1988 and is the Senior Rabbi there. He is the Chair of the Zionist Rabbinic Coalition and has previously served as the President of the Rabbinic Cabinet of the Jewish Federations of North America, and the Director of Israel Policy and Advocacy at the Rabbinical Assembly. Rabbi Matthew Soffer is the Senior Rabbi at Judea Reform Congregation in Durham, North Carolina. Previously, Rabbi Soffer served at Temple Israel in Boston, where he led the nationally influential Riverway Project and Ohel Tzedek, the synagogue's social justice wing. Today we ask a wide range of questions relating to the war in Gaza and Zionism more broadly: Is the war in Gaza a just war? How does one balance the particularism of Jewish peoplehood with the universalism of Jewish teaching?How should advocates of Israel be publicly speaking about Palestinian suffering? Can Israel defeat Hamas? If so, at what cost?Two quick notes:This is the first of what will hopefully be many conversations on Israel/Palestine and the broader conflict. Our goal is to give voice to a wide variety of stakeholders and perspectives.Disagreements are live and feral and unpredictable. In my conversation with the Rabbis, there are times where I cross over into being more of a participant than a host. This happened organically. It's not our core model. But it's honest and real. And it's representative of many of the conversations that are taking place right now. Show NotesGeneral atmosphere in Israel [05:09]Feelings of moral confusion vs moral clarity [06:44]What is the cost of defeating Hamas? [08:35]Jewish ultra-nationalists in Israeli government [15:41]Acknowledging the suffering of Palestinians [21:54]What does “defeating Hamas” mean?

Dan Senor, author of The Genius of Israel: The Surprising Resilience of a Divided Nation in a Turbulent World and host of Call Me Back with Dan Senor, returns to discuss the state of Israel's war against Hamas as the IDF begins to move into Rafah. How is Israeli society holding up? What should we make of growing accusations of genocide? Can Israel achieve its military objectives? What do Israelis think about American politics? And what is does future for Jews in America look like?

Eylon Levy is the leading Israeli government spokesperson. You will have seen him doing media hit after media hit, fiercely defending Israel throughout the Israel-Hamas War. But you will not have seen him like this.We sit down together at the historic Jaffa Hotel Chapel in Israel for a deeper dive, a closer examination of what he's been saying. It was an opportunity to better understand the mind of the Israeli government through the mouth of one man.How did the October 7th Massacre happen? How did a country with the most stringent security in the world be so overcome? Can Israel actually win this war? Is pulverising Gaza actually a sensible strategy?Can an idea - the Islamist-Nationalist ideology of Hamas - actually be defeated? It is an idea reinforced with every victory of Israel, much like a Chinese finger trap, the more you struggle against it, the tighter the grip. Does Israel care what the world thinks? Does Israel need America and Britain? I tried to reach the Eylon beneath the government veneer - he is, after all, a Londoner like me. What does he make of the future of Britain?N.B.

Where is the ongoing war in the Middle East headed? Can Israel survive when it seems the whole world is lining up against it, and many chant “from the river to the sea” – meaning there can be no Israeli state – drive all Jews out, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. In what way will events in the Middle East affect you and your family? Can you know? And what about Europe, where there still is a very real war being waged by Western nations against Russia and its allies: China, North Korea, and Iran. Is it possible to know the future? If so, how? And what should we watch for in 2024? At the beginning of each year, we here at Tomorrow's World give you trends to watch in the coming year and beyond. Our predictions come from an ancient source that has proven to be accurate and reliable. That source is the Bible, where God makes this bold statement to the skeptic – Isaiah 46:9-10: I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, “My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” (Isaiah 46:9-10) That is a bold statement. Is it true? On today's program you may be shocked at how precise and accurate Bible prophecy is regarding what you are seeing right now in the Middle East. And the Bible shows that events in that part of the world will affect the rest of the world. To complement this program, we are offering you our free resource, The Middle East in Prophecy, so be sure to have writing material available so you can take down our contact information to receive your free copy of The Middle East in Prophecy. I'll be back in five seconds to reveal what the Bible foretells about Jerusalem, about the Jewish state called Israel, and how all of this will affect you and your loved ones. Stay with me as we explore – 2024 in Bible Prophecy.

For an update on Israel's ground offensive in Gaza, AKA Israel's War on Terrorism, host Cliff May is joined by FDD experts Jonathan Schanzer — FDD Senior Vice President for Research and author of Gaza Conflict 2021: Hamas, Israel and Eleven Days of War — and FDD Senior Fellow Jacob Nagel, who previously served as Israel's National Security Advisor under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.They unpack IDF findings from inside (and underneath) the Shifa hospital complex in Gaza. They discuss the broader challenge that Israel faces with Hamas' expansive network of underground tunnels lurking beneath even more hospitals and other civilian infrastructure all over Gaza — how deep are they? Can Israel actually destroy every single one of them? Is it where Hamas is hiding hostages? They explain why Qatar has yet to broker a "deal" between Israel and Hamas to free hostages and why relying on Qatar for that in the first place was "ridiculous" — one of our experts even shares what he thinks is Israel's most promising course of action to secure hostages.
