Podcasts about Eli Cohen

In 2019, Netflix released a six-episode miniseries starring the English comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen. Cohen played an Israeli spy, Eli Cohen. The latter Cohen was a Jewish immigrant from Egypt who, once in Israel, was recruited and trained by the Mossad. He then assumed the identity of Kamel Amin Thaabet, a wealthy Arab businessman who, having eventually moved to Damascus, became a backer and confidant of key officials in the Baath party. From his home in Syria, Cohen as Thaabet dispatched vast quantities of military and political intelligence to the Israelis throughout the early 1960s. Viewers of the Netflix show, The Spy, see all of this dramatized, as they also see Cohen's eventual capture, torture, and hanging. The Netflix series, and the story it brings to a new generation of viewers, is true.   Eli Cohen is celebrated as one of Israel's great intelligence agents, one of its great mistaravim, or those who assume the identity of Arabs to carry out their missions. There are streets and institutions and many children and even, in the Golan, a town in Israel named after Eli Cohen. For 60 years the Israeli government has tried to persuade, bribe, cajole, and if necessary steal the Syrian government's Eli Cohen file. During the rule of Hafez and Bashar al-Assad, they could not get them. With the fall of the Assad regime, and with a new regime in Damascus looking to curry favor with the United States and the West, earlier this week the Syrians handed over some 2,500 documents from Syria's Eli Cohen file.   This week, Yossi Melman—a Haaretz reporter, journalist, and author of some eight English-language books on Israeli intelligence—joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to talk about Eli Cohen, what Israel has reclaimed, and why this story remains so important some six decades on.

Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron talk about (1) Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to reinstate the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza: why did this happen now and why the hell did it not happen before; and (2) What we learn (if anything) from the fact that Israel won the popular vote in this week's Eurovision Song Contest, and what we learn (if anything) from the fact that Israel came in 15th (!) in the contest's professional “jury” vote, and what we learn (if anything) from juxtaposing the two votes. All this and the sixtieth anniversary of the execution-by-hanging of Eli Cohen, “our man in Damascus”.  Plus, more music of these times. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Yair Golan, head of the “Democrats Party” (what used to be Labor and Meretz), says that Israel “wages war against civilians” and “kills babies for a hobby”. Well, what can you say to that?

Israel Eli Cohen Belongings Retrieved Israel has retrieved thousands of items belonging to the country's most famous spy after a covert operation in Syria. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared some of the 2,500 items from the Syrian archive relating to Eli Cohen, an Israeli spy who infiltrated the political echelon in Syria, with Cohen's widow. Sunday marked 60 years since Cohen was hanged in a square in Damascus. The items recently spirited into Israel include documents, recordings, photos, and items collected by Syrian intelligence after his capture in January 1965, letters in his own handwriting to his family in Israel, photographs of his activity during his operational mission (任務) in Syria and personal objects. Trump Parade Preparations are underway for a military parade to mark U-S leader Donald Trump's birthday in June.

The Future of Finance: How Blockchain is Bringing Real-World Assets On-ChainThis week on The Index, Alex Kehaya joins Eli Cohen, General Counsel at Centrifuge, to break down how crypto is transforming traditional finance by bringing real-world assets (RWA) on-chain.Eli's blockchain journey began in 2017 at CME Group, where he helped launch Bitcoin futures, exposing him to the inefficiencies of legacy markets. Municipal bonds take ten days to settle. FX swaps carry days of currency risk. Mortgages still rely on paper. These bottlenecks lock up trillions—tokenization is the solution.Centrifuge started with trade receivables for small businesses and has since scaled into institutional finance, launching a $40M US Treasury pool in 2023. The shift is clear: on-chain assets are going mainstream.Regulation remains a battleground. Eli unpacks the SEC's aggressive stance, the "chokepoint" banking restrictions, and why the post-election landscape could reshape global policy.With BlackRock entering tokenized treasuries, the crypto-finance crossover is accelerating. This isn't just digitization—it's a full-scale reinvention of how assets move and who gets access.Whether you're a crypto investor, builder, or just watching the space, this episode reveals why RWA tokenization is the next big thing.Centrifuge: https://centrifuge.io/Show LinksThe Index X ChannelYouTube

Ralph has a new book out, The Rebellious CEO: 12 Leaders Who Did It Right and in this episode, we profile three of them, Andy Shallal, owner of the restaurant “Busboys and Poets,” John Bogle, founder of the Vanguard Group, and Robert Townsend, iconoclastic CEO of Avis Rent-a-Car and author of the classic business book “Up The Organization!” Mr. Shallal joins us in person while financial advisor and Boglehead, Rick Ferri, talks to us about the late John Bogle and Robert Townsend Jr. explains the origins of his father's philosophy. Plus, Ralph gives us an update and a call to action on Gaza.Click on the link to order your copy of The Rebellious CEO.Andy Shallal is an activist, artist and social entrepreneur. Mr. Shallal is the founder and proprietor of Busboys and Poets restaurants in the Washington DC area, which feature prominent speakers, poets and authors and provide a venue for social and political activism. He is co-founder of The Peace Cafe, a member of the board of trustees for The Institute for Policy Studies, and a member of the advisory council for the American Museum of Peace.The whole idea of this book The Rebellious CEO is to show that these CEOs reverse the business model. They didn't just have a vision and say, “We're gonna squeeze workers and consumers and environmental indifference to maximize the profits.” No, they started out saying, “We're gonna treat the workers well. We're gonna treat the consumers well. We're gonna confront the environment. We're gonna speak out against injustice.” And they all made money. Every one of them in the book said they always paid attention to profits because without profits they couldn't do all the things they wanted to do.Ralph Nader, author of “The Rebellious CEO”It becomes very personal. And when it's personal, it's hard to separate yourself from the business. So everything that happens in the business, it's not a one -off, it's about me. If the business is treating my employees badly, it means Andy Shallal is treating his people badly. That's a very personal way [of looking at it] and it's a way for I think a lot of these folks that you write about in the book to kind of stay on mission and say, “This is my name. This is my legacy. This is my entire being that is on the line.”Andy ShallalUnderstanding those dynamics and how race plays out in this country and how people interpret and see race is really a very important part of our training— to make sure that people do not fall into the trap of saying, “I don't see race,” because race sees you. And unless you are proactive in how you deal with people as they walk through the door, you're gonna probably make mistakes.Andy ShallalRick Ferri has worked for 35 years as a financial adviser and he is the host of the Bogleheads on Investing podcast. Mr. Ferri was a pioneer in low-fee investment advice and portfolio management using ETFs and index funds, he has authored 7 investment books and hundreds of articles published in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and several professional journals, and he is the former president of the John C Bogle Center for Financial Literacy.[John Bogle] was very determined. He believed in giving investors a fair shake on Wall Street. He believed that we should get our fair share of market returns. He believed that there was a conflict of interest in the investment industry between the people who owned the investment companies and the investors in those companies—the people who bought the mutual funds. And he said, "You cannot serve two masters."Rick FerriThat's our mission—to build a world of well-informed, capable, and empowered investors. And that's what the Bogle Center and the Bogleheads are all about.Rick FerriRobert Townsend, Jr. is the son of Robert Townsend, who was president of Avis Rent A Car from 1962 to 1965 and was the author of the best-selling and iconoclastic business manual Up the Organization: How to Stop the Corporation from Stifling People and Strangling Profits.[Robert Townsend, Sr.] was definitely iconically an iconoclast, but I don't think he saw himself that way. He didn't just believe in partnership. He saw that—and teamwork— were the only things to accomplish. So he found, just through serendipity or synchronicity, partners everywhere he looked.Robert Townsend, Jr.[Robert Townsend, Sr.] embarked on a new career of consulting…He would come back from consulting with somebody or other, finding out, “All they wanted was me to tell them they were doing it right. And nothing I said actually made any difference.”Robert Townsend, Jr.In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. The tide seems to finally be shifting in favor of a ceasefire in Gaza. Democracy Now! Reports “British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called for a ‘sustainable ceasefire' in a joint article in The Sunday Times. The pair said efforts should be focused on a two-state solution after the assault comes to an end. The U.K. and Germany had previously declined to call for a ceasefire and abstained from voting last week on the U.N. General Assembly's ceasefire resolution. Also on Sunday, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna called for an ‘immediate and durable truce' while meeting with her Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen in Tel Aviv, saying ‘too many civilians are being killed' in Gaza. This comes as U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin arrived in Israel earlier today, where he is expected to focus talks on transitioning to a ‘lower intensity' war.'”2. Many wonder why these countries are changing their position so abruptly. One explanation could be the efficacy of the Red Sea blockade enforced by the Yemeni Houthis. Thus far, five of the largest shipping firms in the world, including CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk and MSC, along with Evergreen and BP, have “paused or suspended their services in the Red Sea,” due to Houthi attacks, per the Economist. Collectively, these firms represent over 60% of global shipping. In response, the United States has announced its intention to form a naval bloc to combat the Houthis, risking further escalation in the region.3. Haaretz reports that Al Jazeera is “preparing a legal file to send to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over what it called the ‘assassination' of one of its cameramen in Gaza.” The ICC complaint focuses on a cameraman, Samer Abu Daqqa, who was “killed by a drone strike on Friday [December 15th] while reporting on the earlier bombing of a school used as a shelter for displaced people in the southern Gaza Strip,” but will “also encompass recurrent attacks on the Network's crews working and operating in the occupied Palestinian territories and instances of incitement against them." The Committee to Protect Journalists reports at least 64 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since October 7th.4. On Sunday, Pope Francis decried the murder of two Palestinian Christian women who had taken refuge in a church complex in Gaza, Reuters reports. The Pope mourned that "Unarmed civilians are the objects of bombings and shootings. And this happened even inside the Holy Family parish complex, where there are no terrorists, but families, children, people who are sick or disabled, nuns…Some would say 'It is war. It is terrorism.' Yes, it is war. It is terrorism."5. According to NBC Bay Area, “At least hundreds of union members rallied at Oakland City Hall Saturday to call for a ceasefire… The ‘Labor for Palestine' rally brought out members from 14 unions across the Bay Area [including longshore workers, teachers, electricians, and nurses]. In addition to the call for the cease-fire, a statement put out by organizers said it also wanted the U.S. to stop providing military aid to Israel and ‘an end to Israel's occupation.' Organizers also said the rally was the first such labor-led rally in the U.S. this year.”6. AP reports Tesla is recalling “nearly all vehicles sold in [the] US,”  following a two-year investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, regarding “a series of crashes [some deadly] that happened while the Autopilot partially automated driving system was in use.” Dillon Angulo, a driver who suffered brain trauma and broken bones in one such crash, said “This technology is not safe, we have to get it off the road…The government has to do something about it. We can't be experimenting like this.”7. Upon taking office, one of President Biden's stated foreign policy goals was to overturn Trump's designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terror. Yet, according to the Intercept “in a private briefing last week on Capitol Hill, State Department official Eric Jacobstein stunned members of Congress by telling them that the department has not even begun the review process.” As the article notes, “The terror designation makes it difficult for Cubans to do international business, crushing an already fragile economy. The U.S. hard-line approach to Cuba has coincided with a surge in desperate migration, with Cubans now making up a substantial portion of the migrants arriving at the southern border. Nearly 425,000 Cubans have fled for the United States in fiscal years 2022 and 2023, shattering previous records. Instead of moving to stem the flow by focusing on root causes in Cuba, the Biden White House has been signaling support in recent days for Republican-backed border policies.”8. In Chile, voters have rejected a far-right proposed new constitution, per PBS. As the article notes, this vote “came more than a year after Chileans resoundingly rejected a proposed constitution written by a left-leaning convention and one that many characterized as one of the world's most progressive charters.” The new, right-wing draft was characterized as even more conservative than the Pinochet-era constitution it sought to replace as it would have “deepened free-market principles, reduced state intervention and might have limited some women's rights.” As ex-president Michele Bachelet, who campaigned against the new draft constitution said “I prefer something bad to something worse.”9. In Argentina, radical right-wing President Javier Milei has announced a crackdown on civil society, “calling on armed forces to break strikes, arrest protesters, ‘protect' children from families that bring them to demo[nstration]s, and form a new national registry of all agitating organisations,” per Progressive International's David Adler. While unsurprising, this clearly flies in the face of Milei's purported ‘anarcho-capitalist' principles.10. Finally, did Southwest Airlines cancel or significantly delay your flight during the holiday season last year? If so, you could be entitled to a $75 voucher as part of the Department of Transportation's record $140 million settlement with the airline, per the Hill. Under the settlement, which the Department of Transportation claims is the largest ever penalty against an airline for violating consumer protection laws, the airline is required to establish a $90 million compensation system to be used for passengers affected by “controllable cancellations and significant delays,” in addition to paying $35 million to the federal government. Last December's Southwest “meltdown” included “more than 16,900 flights…canceled or delayed…affect[ing] more than 2 million passengers around the holidays.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

durée : 00:10:18 - Journal de 18h - Tout cessez le feu dans la bande de Gaza serait "une erreur et un cadeau fait au Hamas". La réponse du ministre israélien des Affaires étrangères, Eli Cohen, ne s'est pas fait attendre après le nouvel appel de la France pour une trêve.

durée : 00:10:18 - Journal de 18h - Tout cessez-le-feu dans la bande de Gaza serait "une erreur et un cadeau fait au Hamas". La réponse du ministre israélien des Affaires étrangères, Eli Cohen, ne s'est pas fait attendre après le nouvel appel de la France pour une trêve.

The United Nations chief is warning of a total humanitarian collapse in Gaza, as the conflict between Hamas and Israel reaches the two-month mark. Israel's military is focusing its assault on southern Gaza's main city Khan Younis - as it tries to close in on the Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar. In a video address, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his forces had surrounded the Hamas leader's home. On Thursday, Israel's foreign minister Eli Cohen levied harsh criticism towards UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres after he invoked a rare clause in the UN charter to call for an immediate ceasefire. Correspondent Sarah Coates spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

*) Palestinian victims file ICC complaint over Israel's Gaza massacres Lawyers for the Palestinian victims of Israeli attacks on Gaza filed a complaint at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The victims' representative before the ICC, Gilles Devers, and a four-person delegation that accompanied him submitted the complaint to the court's prosecutor. Devers asserted that Israeli acts in Gaza constitute factors of the crime of genocide. He emphasised that the ICC is currently investigating war crimes in a related inquiry, stressing the imperative of including the crime of genocide in this investigation. *) Israel admits growing international pressure over its onslaught on Gaza Israel's foreign minister said international pressure on Israel would increase within two or three weeks over its onslaught on Gaza. Eli Cohen said that Israel has only two or three weeks before it loses its diplomatic battle on the international stage to stop the war on Gaza. He stressed, however, that the Israeli military invasion in Gaza will not stop until the Palestinian group Hamas is eliminated and the captives are released. *) Jewish protesters, allies block Israeli consulate in Chicago, demand ceasefire in Gaza Hundreds of Jewish peace activists and their allies converged at a major train station in downtown Chicago during rush hour. They blocked the entrance to the Israeli consulate and demanded US support for an Israel ceasefire as war rages in Gaza. Over 100 protesters were arrested for misdemeanour trespassing and escorted out of the building, according to Ben Lorber, who helped organise the protest. *) EU says int'l community failed to find solution to Israeli-Palestinian conflict The international community has failed to find a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as shown by its continuation, the European Union's foreign policy chief said. Josep Borrell said “his tragedy should be an occasion for everyone to understand that a solution must be sought that can only be based on the construction of two states.” Saying that he put forward a proposal which participants of the meeting agreed to support, he summed it up as follows: No to forced displacement of Palestinian people out of Gaza, no re-occupation of Gaza by Israel, and no to the dissociation of Gaza from the overall issue of Palestine. And finally… *) Gaza hospitals 'out of service' as fuel shortages claim more lives Hospitals in northern Gaza were forced out of service amid fuel shortages and intense combat, with the death toll inside the territory's largest facility rising, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza. Death toll inside Al Shifa hospital has risen to 27 adult intensive care patients and seven babies since the weekend as the facility suffered fuel shortages. At least 2,300 people including patients, health workers, and people fleeing fighting were inside the Al Shifa Hospital, The World Health Organisation in the Palestinian Territories said.

O ministro das Relações Exteriores, Mauro Vieira, afirmou nesta sexta-feira, 10, não saber quando será aberta a fronteira do Egito para a saída dos brasileiros que estão em Gaza. “A situação em Gaza não me permite dizer se será hoje, amanhã ou quando, é uma região conflagrada e são inúmeras as questões que dificultam a abertura.” “A nossa lista não é das maiores. Nós temos 34 em Gaza, e há países que têm números muito maiores. A passagem é complexa porque a passagem de Rafah fica aberta durante algumas horas por dia, e há um entendimento entre as partes que em primeiro lugar passam ambulâncias com feridos. Só depois disso passam então os nacionais de outros países.” Na quinta, 9, o Itamaraty anunciou que o governo de Israel prometeu liberar os brasileiros retidos na Faixa de Gaza hoje. Segundo o Ministério das Relações Exteriores, a promessa foi feita em uma conversa entre o chanceler brasileiro, Mauro Vieira, e seu homólogo israelense, Eli Cohen.

Connaissez-vous notre site ? www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr Une émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée en public à l'École alsacienne le 5 novembre 2023. Avec cette semaine : Jean-Louis Bourlanges, président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale. François Bujon de l'Estang, ambassadeur de France. Lucile Schmid, vice-présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit. Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien helvétique Blick. NOUVELLE SITUATION SUR LE FRONT UKRAINIEN Le 30 octobre, le magazine américain Time a décrit une atmosphère défaitiste à la présidence ukrainienne, entre colère et désillusion face à la baisse de soutien des pays alliés. Time relève les obstacles auxquels fait face Kyiv : front enlisé, difficultés à mobiliser dans l'armée, corruption profonde… Le texte, massivement repris et traduit dans les médias ukrainiens, a été salué pour sa lucidité par une partie de l'opinion du pays, et critiqué par d'autres. Un passage a suscité l'attention : la promesse, évoquée par des conseillers du président Zelinsky, d'un imminent « changement majeur de stratégie militaire » ainsi que d'un remaniement de grande ampleur de l'entourage du président. Deux jours plus tard, l'hebdomadaire britannique The Economist, a publié un entretien particulièrement alarmiste avec le commandant en chef des forces armées, Valeri Zaloujny. A propos de la contre-offensive ukrainienne lancée au début du mois de juin pour récupérer les territoires occupés par la Russie, le général reconnaît un « échec » et la dépeint bloquée dans une « impasse ». Le haut gradé évoque la transformation du front en une guerre de positions, très défavorable à l'Ukraine, qui ne pourra pas tenir en matière de ressources humaines face à la Russie. Le général va jusqu'à évoquer une « défaite » en cas de retard dans les livraisons d'armement, des méthodes et un matériel « dépassés ». Selon lui, aucun des deux camps ne peut avancer car ils sont chacun sur un plan d'égalité technologique. Mais ce bourbier profite à la Russie, qui a augmenté ses capacités de production malgré les fortes sanctions et accru son budget militaire. Pour gagner la guerre, prévient Zaloujny, l'Ukraine doit impérativement jouir de la supériorité dans les airs. Cela implique de bénéficier de F-16 et de drones plus sophistiqués. L'armée doit aussi améliorer ses capacités de guerre électronique et son artillerie de précision avec l'aide de ses alliés. Elle a besoin enfin de moyens de déminage. Surtout, Kyiv doit mobiliser davantage. L'Ukraine, qui dépend des livraisons d'armes occidentales pour son effort de guerre, a dit craindre cet hiver une nouvelle campagne de bombardements russes massifs visant ses infrastructures énergétiques, pour plonger la population dans le noir et le froid. Face à la crainte d'une baisse du soutien occidental, l'Ukraine s'efforce désormais d'attirer les industriels de la défense pour fabriquer armes et munitions sur son sol. Mais depuis la fin de l'été, Kyiv voit se fragiliser la coalition des pays qui la soutiennent. La Slovaquie a déjà stoppé ses livraisons d'armes après l'arrivée au pouvoir du dirigeant populiste prorusse Robert Fico. La Pologne aussi, à la suite d'un différend sur l'exportation des céréales ukrainiennes. La France a averti fin septembre, que ses armes ne seront plus livrées gratuitement à l'Ukraine, sauf exception. Aux États-Unis, le Congrès américain se montre de plus en plus réticent à voter les budgets d'aide militaire à l'Ukraine. De son côté, la Russie a acté fin septembre une hausse considérable de son budget militaire et elle a revendiqué avoir enrôlé 385.000 nouveaux soldats dans son armée depuis le début de l'année, après avoir mobilisé 300.000 réservistes en septembre 2022. *** LE GOUVERNEMENT NETANYAHOU A-T-IL UNE STRATÉGIE AU-DELÀ DES DESTRUCTIONS CIVILES ET MILITAIRES ? A Gaza, les intentions politiques israéliennes restent, pour le moment, confuses : « éliminer » le Hamas pour le ministre de la Défense, Yoav Gallant, ou transformer ses zones d'opération « en ruines » pour le Premier ministre Benyamin Netanyahou. Sur le statut politique à venir de la bande de Gaza, les positions avancées par les dirigeants de Tel-Aviv sont diverses. « Nous n'avons aucun intérêt à occuper Gaza ou à rester à Gaza », a déclaré l'ambassadeur israélien auprès des Nations unies. Benny Gantz et Gadi Eisenkot, deux leaders de l'opposition, ont rejoint le gouvernement d'unité nationale à la condition que soit formulé un plan opérationnel de sortie de Gaza. Ces derniers jours, des députés du Likoud souhaitaient publiquement une « Nakba 2 » en référence à l'exil forcé de 600 000 à 800 000 Palestiniens en 1948. Le ministre des Affaires étrangères Eli Cohen a annoncé une « diminution du territoire de Gaza » après la guerre. De manière générale, le gouvernement de Benyamin Nétanyahou revendique sans s'en cacher une poursuite accrue de la colonisation, voire tout simplement l'annexion de pans des territoires palestiniens. En mars, la ministre des Implantations et des Missions nationales Orit Strock appelait à une recolonisation de Gaza. La Direction de la planification des forces de défense israéliennes a été officiellement chargée de coordonner la stratégie post-guerre. Différentes options sont étudiées : transférer la gestion des Palestiniens de Gaza à l'Égypte ou à des organisations internationales ; réinstaurer à Gaza le pouvoir de l'Autorité palestinienne (très décriée en Cisjordanie) ; déplacer la population vers certaines zones de Gaza, vers le Sinaï ou la Jordanie (ce que refusent en chœur l'Égypte et la Jordanie) ; annexer et contrôler militairement des pans de la bande … A ce jour, titre le Financial Times : “Il n'y a pas de plan pour le jour d'après ». L'historien Yuval Noah Harari estime que « le processus de paix semble désormais enterré pour de bon, à moins que des forces extérieures n'interviennent pour désamorcer la guerre ». Henry Laurens, professeur au Collège de France, en charge de la chaire d'histoire contemporaine du monde arabe en doute : « je ne crois malheureusement pas qu'une intervention extérieure puisse véritablement accélérer le processus de paix : la paix est impossible — au sens où Raymond Aron l'entendait lorsqu'il disait « paix impossible, guerre improbable ». Aujourd'hui on pourrait dire : « paix impossible et guerre certaine ». Nous sommes dans une impasse qui semble devoir perdurer pour une durée indéterminée ».Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

The UN's secretary general Antonio Guterres says he is shocked by what he says are "misinterpretations" of his comments about Israel's bombardment and blockade of the Gaza strip. On Wednesday, Guterres said the Hamas attacks in southern Israel had not "happened in a vacuum and there was no justification for the Hamas attacks". Israel has threatened to deny visas to UN officials, and Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan has called for Antonio Guterres to resign, accusing him of "expressing an understanding for terrorism and murder". Air strikes are continuing to hit Gaza where the Health Ministry in the Hamas controlled territory says 6,500 people have been killed 2,700 of them children. Israel says more than 1,400 people were killed in the Hamas attacks on October 7. A third of hospitals have shut down and the remainder are now down to the barest of emergency services with the territories fuel supplies exhausted after Israel's fortnight long siege of the territory. On Wednesday night, eight trucks carrying food water and medicine crossed the border with Egypt but Israel has banned fuel from entering the territory saying Hamas would use it for military purposes. Palestinian foreign affairs minister, Riad Al-Maliki, yesterday told the United Nations' Security Council that more killing and deaths would not make Israel safer. At the same meeting, Israel's foreign affairs minister Eli Cohen rejected calls for a ceasefire. Israel is now refusing to issue visas for UN officials, including the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths. On Wednesday, New Zealand urged the Security Council to implement a humanitarian pause, corridors for water, food, fuel, medicines and other basics of life, and designated safe areas that are strictly off-limits as targets or military bases. Our interview requests to caretaker Prime Minister Chris Hipkins and permanent representative to the UN Carolyn Schwalger were unsuccessful. 

Words are important. In times of war, their importance is magnified. Never has my mission for Jonny Gould's Jewish State seemed more urgent: to combat the slurs, the lies and the distortions of history which threaten Israel and Jewish people. The media has a responsibility - at the very least - not to fan conjecture and untruths, because it comes with a by product: incitement. And the media column seems found to be woefully short of moral purpose. Hundreds of thousands Britons felt emboldened to head for Central London in support of Hamas, which prompted a disagreement between the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman and the chief of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley about the small amount of arrests. We hear from Sir Mark outside the Home Office as he left the meeting. As the weeks went by the protests, which became weekly got bigger, swelling from 100,000 to over 350,000 by week 4. Ms. Braverman eventually lost her job, describing the anti-Israel rallies as “hate marches” in a Times newspaper article. We hear from UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak confirming the media's scandalous rush to parrot Hamas' claim that Israel bombed a Gazan hospital as a lie. Mr Sunak visited Jerusalem to show moral support for Israel to meet his opposite number, Benjamin Netanyahu. We hear from both at a news conference. And when the world's lead international politician finds a way to blame Israel for the massacres perpetrated against them, you might wonder whether the world is ranged against Israel, holding the Jewish state to a different standard. UN secretary general Antonio Gutteres said Hamas' butchery didn't come “in a vacuum”. The butchery, rape, kidnapping is given reason by the UN. The resolve to destroy Hamas amid calls for “proportionality” and a ceasefire have caused outrage in Israel. You'll also hear from Israel's foreign minister, Eli Cohen.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and religion reporter Canaan Lidor join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. Berman is back in Israel from accompanying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United States and fills us in on the lesser-discussed meetings that occurred on the sidelines at the United Nations. Foreign minister Eli Cohen met with his Emirati counterpart Abdullah Bin Zayed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly as well, marking three years to the Abraham Accords. What was said there? A senior Saudi delegation will visit the West Bank this week for a meeting with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. Was this meeting already scheduled or is it directly related to the seemingly sped up normalization? During the much-awaited meeting between President Joe Biden and the prime minister, Biden said, “I think without Israel, there's not a Jew in the world who's secure. I think Israel is essential.” How was this received by the Diaspora? All the headlines in Israeli media this morning are surrounding the Yom Kippur prayer service in Tel Aviv where, despite a court order, worshippers set up a temporary mechitza. Lidor breaks it down for us. 50 years ago during the Yom Kippur fast, many Israelis in reserve duty were suddenly activated to go fight. Berman shares part of his experiences on a trip to the far north to mark the anniversary of the 1973 war. Discussed articles include: Netanyahu discusses potential Saudi deal in first known meeting with Erdogan DR Congo will move its embassy to Jerusalem, leader tells Netanyahu at UN sidelines Saudi delegation to visit West Bank this week as Israel normalization talk increases Israeli, Emirati foreign ministers meet to talk 3 years of Abraham Accords Prominent Zionists laud Biden's remark that no Jew anywhere is safe without Israel PM slams ‘left-wingers rioting against Jews'; Lapid: Messianists brought religious war Activists block public Tel Aviv Yom Kippur prayers as Orthodox group sets gender divider Segregated Yom Kippur prayers spark slurs and bitterness, not atonement, in Tel Aviv Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Violent riots by Eritrean asylum seekers; Israel foreign minister Eli Cohen publicizes meeting with Libya and chaos ensues; turmoil and coups in Niger and Gabon. What's going on in Africa and why does it matter to Israel?To discuss these issues, Caroline's guest this week is Ambassador J Peter Pham. Pham, who currently serves as a Distinguished Fellow at the Atlantic Council and a Senior Advisor at the Kach Institute for Tech Diplomacy, is the former U.S. Special Envoy for the Sahle and Great Lakes Regions of Africa.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Diaspora correspondents Tal Schneider and Lazar Berman join host Jacob Magid for Wednesday's podcast. Schneider and Berman take us through the past 72 hours since Foreign Minister Eli Cohen's decision to publicize his recent meeting with Libyan counterpart. They discuss why Cohen chose to blow the story open, what other Israeli ministries are saying about the decision, how countries abroad have reacted and why Libya is interested in warming ties with Israel in the first place. They also explain how Cohen's conduct may impact efforts by Israel to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia and expand the Abraham Accords more broadly. Later on during the episode, Schneider and Berman talk about Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's awkward trip the United States during which he is barred by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from meeting with Biden officials in Washington since the premier has yet to do himself. They highlight Opposition chairman Yair Lapid's plan to head to DC next week and what's behind his anticipated meetings with US officials. Discussed articles include: Foreign minister met Libyan counterpart to discuss joint cooperation, Israel says Libya suspends FM, announces investigation after her meeting with Israeli counterpart Libya fires its FM amid furor over her unprecedented meet with Israeli counterpart FM Cohen blasted for dangerous amateurism after hyping meet with Libyan counterpart Cohen blames political opponents for firestorm over meet he publicized with Libya FM Seeking distance from Libya debacle, Netanyahu says he must approve any secret talks Netanyahu knew in advance of FM's meeting with Libyan counterpart – reports Arab diplomats: Israeli publication of Libya talks harms bid to reconvene Negev Forum Libya's anti-Israel protests fueled by rage at unelected leaders clinging to power US said furious with Israel for revealing meeting with Libyan foreign minister Gallant warns UN chief: Potential for violence growing amid Hezbollah provocations Gallant meets US officials in NYC after Netanyahu said to bar talks in Washington Lapid headed to Washington, while Netanyahu still awaits date for Biden meeting Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Radiolab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Sci-Hub is a library website that provides free access to millions of research papers and books, without regard to copyright It was created in 2011 by a single person named Alexandra Elbakyan All of the papers made available on Sci-Hub are copyrighted and owned, so open-sourcing them is technically illegal The four for-profit publishers that dominate the scientific journal industry are charging the scientific community to read the research that was conducted by the scientific communityAt its peak, Sci-Hub hosted over 90% of every scientific article that was ever published The publishes have sued Alexandra Elbakyan for violating copyright laws, claiming that she broke the law by distributing material that she did not have the legal right to distributeShe did not show up for the trial and became famous for not showing up to subsequent hearings and trials “Maybe I was a little bit naive. But I thought the app [was] going to overthrow academic publishing and the corporatized system.” – Alexandra Elbakyan She is involved in an ongoing copyright case in India, which she has chosen to participate in because she believes she has a higher chance of winning As part of an agreement, new uploads to Sci-Hub have been paused until a verdict is reached (they have now been paused since 2020) However, the scientific journal industry is changing and shifting more toward the open-access model By 2026, every paper that gets federal funding will be made immediately free for all to readSci-Hub may be losing the battle, but open access is winning the warRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgHow much does knowledge cost? While that sounds like an abstract question, the answer is surprisingly specific: $3,096,988,440.00.

I'm Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer at Lee and cohost of the program with Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and a longtime entertainment reporter. Bruce, I I wanna pass you a note. I've got some secrets. Do you have any secrets? Can you share anything? Yeah. Send me a text. Okay? That might be the best. 0:00:28In the old days, you know, spies were so much different because they would sit on a park bench and they pass an envelope between each other. Right? Right? Now it's like we're hacking into systems and we're going to we always you notice how they always have that clock that counts down until the file is uploaded, and it's like, oh, is it gonna happen? Is it gonna happen? Well, there, all you had to worry about was did somebody grab the envelope or are you just letting it go? So it is a different world. 0:00:57And there's a new mini series or limited series, whatever you wanna call it, that has been airing in Great Britain already, and it got huge reviews. They loved it over there. It's called a spy among friends. And we're getting it now on MGM Plus. And it is the the sort of true story of Kim Philby. You probably have never heard of Kim Philby at all. But he was a traitor to Great Britain. He was a spy, but he was getting information from Russia. And when they found out that he was defecting to Russia, they sent his friend to try and talk to him about all of this. And, like, would you keep this information? I don't know how I could ever be a spy because I talk too much. And I think I I would tell too much. But that your your best friend could not guess that you were gonna be a traitor. And, you know, wouldn't you have dropped some kind of message about this? I find that just really hard to believe. Yeah. But but yeah. And that was a big scandal in the sixties. And people remember the name Kim Philby because he was this trader who went to Russia. And he was very well known. Today, it doesn't graze the radar. People really don't know who he is, or who his friends were. 0:02:17But the film, which kind of looks at the class system that's very popular in Great Britain, tries to explain all of that by that because there was a group of young man who thought that they were if you will, better than other people because they went to the right schools, they had the right majors, they had the right connections, their parents were probably somebody. And as Damian Lewis says, they dabbled in communism. And so they thought that this was kind of a cool thing that we could do, and they wouldn't be caught for anything like this. Well, Kim Philby, didn't just dabble. He was doing a little bit more with all of that. And I got a chance to talk to Guy Pierce who plays Kim and he was talking about acting acting and acting as a spy. How much acting is involved with all of that? Do you really Do you feel you need to pretend all the time? And he said this class system is something that kind of it didn't matter. You didn't have to do that because they just accepted whatever you were doing was just temporary, and they were allowed to do that. And he and the the creator of the series, Alexander Carey, talk about how this is kind of important again today. Because we're seeing a class system that's being created in just all parts of the world, where some people think they're above the law, and they don't have to worry about consequences. And then others who don't don't seem to be able to catch a break no matter what. That's fascinating. 0:04:00What's your general thought on on spy movies and TV shows in general? Do you do you enjoy them? Do you get sucked in? Oh, you know it. I I it's strange how something like James Bond has changed so drastically. Because in those early days, you know, with Sean Connery, maybe Roger Moore, who didn't they did a lot of things that was they they were just conversational. That's how they got their information. And then they started getting all those toys. And then they started having gadgets and, you know, I mean, come on. Where do you find all this stuff? And how would you be able to create all this? And then you have all these kind of inched people. How do you keep anything from somebody else that they wouldn't know? Today, it's so over the top. Look at how, you know, it takes several years for somebody like Tom Cruise to make one of his spy films. So it's a it's a different game. I think it's changed. But I think they suck you in all the time because you always wonder That was the bad guy. I'm not really sure I know who the bad guy is. 0:05:06Did you see the spy a couple years ago. That was the one. It starred Sasha Baron Cohen, you know, who everybody knows is Borr at, but he did a really serious take He played Eli Cohen, who's a Israeli, and he was spying in the nineteen sixties. And ultimately was caught, but it was the the true life story and it was a very serious role for him. But it was a real fascinating look into into espionage. 0:05:36Could you be a spy? I thought about it. I I think I could. Really? Yeah. I don't know how you do that in school, where you say, alright, I'd like to go on the spy track, please. Could I please take those classes that are necessary for that? I I couldn't. I know I couldn't. Because the I mean, I can keep a secret, but I don't think I could like the Americans, I don't know I could do what they did, where you just suddenly assume new identities and live among people for years, and then you're kind of trying to get a little bit of information out to the others. I don't know that I could do that. At some point, I would break. 0:06:12And I think where they always go wrong with these kinds of films is they have families. Right. And I think a true spy has no connections. That's why you see James Bond as such a good spy. Because he always seems to be a loner. Once they get him with somebody, then it becomes, uh-oh, I've got to worry about somebody killing this person. You know, to get to me. So if you're as bi, you should be a loner. It never worked out well for for James Bond in those movies because he would he would either meet someone and they would end up dead or they would end up turning on him. 0:06:51Well, could you imagine that this day if you were, like, googling pussy galore, I think it's a reminder. I think it's a reminder. You know, they in when that movie became out, they released trading cards for that movie. Did you say that? No. Because I I wasn't born back numbers, but but they changed the name of that character to Kitty Galore because we couldn't we couldn't go that. It's a little too dirty for the kids back in the sixties. So, yeah, that that was always kind of fun, Goldfinger. But, yeah, I I don't know if I could be a spy. 0:07:29Like, it it always sounds cool, but then you think about, well, you got all these crazy secrets. You can't settle down with the family. Somebody's gonna keep a secret in your own house. If you get kids, come on. They don't have work. They do. Right? 0:07:43I always wonder too when watching things like mission impossible. You know, that that that this recording will self destruct in ten seconds. But it it goes up in flames. Nobody notices that. Nobody sees this, like, flaming package that's sitting next to you on the train and and it does it not set off as smoke alarm? 0:08:02You know, for many years, studios would send out DVDs of their films. And they would disintegrate. I mean, after you had watched it once, you couldn't watch it again. And they always said, well, that's how they should have done that stuff. Because a tape recorder that's burning yeah. That's not gonna happen. Not a problem. That might that might raise a couple of red flags. 0:08:25Well, and you could never rerun. You know, you never could go back and look at a scene again. You saw once. It's on your computer. That's it. It's done. Now you can go back to screening lengths and go back and see things if you wanna look at the more than once. 0:08:39But yeah. So the spy world? No. The the best best thing about me is I couldn't remember anything because I think I've learned so much in my lifetime. There's so much crap in my head. That we have to we have to empty the trash at some point to try and remember these things. So if you put me under oath and had a lie detector and everything hooked up, I'd be good because I couldn't remember a darn thing that you'd told me. 0:09:04Does did Guy Pierce talk about at all? Like, how he how he researched for this. Yes. You're using. He did. And and that's that's in the interview. I want you to listen to the interview, you know, talk to some of the kind of research he did. And how it would kind of work for him? How he would be as a if he could be a spy? So there's a lot of interesting things there. I think you should unpack it. It's not that long. 0:09:29We have Guy Pierce and Alexander Carey talking about a spy among friends. Can a spy really have a friend? I think I think friendship is the main currency of of spies. I think that I think I think I mean, it's a good question because on one side of the relationship, yes, that question is pertinent. On the other one, it's pertinent in a different in completely the opposite way. Yeah. It it just it struck me as if I were a spy, I would not be friendly with anybody. I would just let it go. But there also is an element of acting that's involved. And Guy, would you make a good spy? Well, look, I I may make a good spy, you know, on the surface, but I mean, of course, I can work as an actor on screen but it's never a life or death situation. I don't know how I'd I don't know how if I've got the Hutzpa to to, you know, act as well when I know that there are lives or countries or at stake. So probably not, I think, is the answer. 0:10:40How does spies operate today when there's just so many ways that the truth could come out? Is it a a whole different world and what? Because the the sixties is kind of a a a real romantic period at at least for spies. Well, you're I think in the sixties, human intelligence, in other words, human to human getting information in sort of bars and on park benches and all the rest of it was a reality. And and was the the the the the main way of of getting and passing information these days. There's a lot more of sort of cyber espionage and all the rest of it. And I think you'll find that in various intelligence agencies. There are also still two factions. You know, there's the there's the one that goes, well, human intelligence is really the only the way that you're gonna get the definitive stuff or the stuff that's gonna be, you know, keep on giving. And then there are people who are gonna go, no. Let's just put a drone up. So so So, you know, they're very different these days. But Yeah. But that's the friendship thing. The friendship thing is important for a spy. Yeah. It doesn't seem as much fun, but maybe I'm wrong, never been a spy, can't can't weigh in. 0:11:52Guy, how much did you read about him before you actually started doing this? Did you know much about him or not? I didn't know a lot. No. I mean, I'd seen a couple of films that had been made and I'd seen a documentary once about the Cambridge five. So I didn't know a lot. I knew of Kim Filby, of course, but knew no detail about about him really and certainly knew nothing about this relation it between he and Nicholas Elliott. 0:12:17I read a number of books before we started and through the course of making the show. One in particular, I think, was a was a helpful piece, which was written by Eleanor, his third wife, his American wife, the wife that he was with in Beirut when he when he left. She wrote a book that that that looked at some of the letters between the two of them, you know, that published the letters between the two of them through that time. So there was something personal and human about the way she wrote. And so that was an interesting little way in for me into into Filby. But, yeah, I read I read bits and pieces of all sorts of things before we started. But of course, I always would would come back to the the script. 0:13:07And at a certain point, I find I have to sort of let the let the research material go. Were there things you could relate to? And did you like him at all or not? I never know the answer to the liking question because whilst making I'm so in I'm so embedded in into him that I lose myself in a way. So it's not necessarily that I have then have an opinion of him. I'm I'm I'm so sort of, yeah, lost in trying to just become and understand him. I think the bigger question is is is whether I understand him and and, you know, I'm that's what I'm searching to do through the process and and, you know, you can probably only understand any character, you know, this much at the best of times when you're dealing with someone like Philby, you can probably only understand him this this much because he's a mystery to everybody. So it was a complex and challenging process. Yeah. Well, thank you. Both it's been so exciting to watch this unfold. And I'm just playing dumb through the whole thing. I'm not I'm not looking ahead to find out anything. I don't wanna know anything, but it is fascinating. It's a a different world, a different time. So thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thanks, Bruce. Nice to meet you. Alright, Bruce. Thanks for that interview. A fascinating discussion there. 0:14:37Did you get to talk to anybody else from that Phils from that series. Who is who plays the friend that, you know, has to try and talk to this Kim Philsby. I did get to talk to him. And I do have a story Maybe you can add a link to this. And if you don't wanna read, you'll see some more stuff from him about this whole project. But it's a six part limited series on MGM plus. And, Eric, could you do anything this next week that I worry about? I'll know you're a spy. Sounds good, Bruce. So we'll have a link to that article in the show notes of this episode. And otherwise, we will see you next week with another episode of streamed and screamed. Have a great one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
