Over the past 12 months, the status quo in the Middle East has been utterly destroyed, and a new, more dangerous situation on the ground has emerged. While bullets fly and bombs drop, the state that has consistently made gains has been Israel, no doubt due to its support from the West. The Jewish state has seen its enemies in Palestine and Syria evaporate, while simultaneously weakening Iran. This begs the question, has Israel basically won?To discuss the continuing conflicts and the future of the region, Piers Morgan engages with a plethora of minds keenly focused on the subject of Israel. These are General Secretary and co-founder of the Palestinian National Initiative Mustafa Barghouti, former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus, co-host of the ‘Useful Idiots' podcast Aaron Maté, Iranian academic Mohammad Marandi and father of former Hamas hostage Emily Hand, Thomas Hand.

This morning we analyze an insight of Rabbi JJ Schacter that Sukkot is a place, at which the Jewish People first had a chance to catch their breath and reflect on the exodus that just happened. This did not happen at the end, but in the middle, with crisis and catastrophes to come. Never before have we needed Sukkot for this purpose as much as this year, to sit in our Sukkah and reflect on what happened on and since October 7, how we and the world has changed, where are we going, and who do we want to be, even as we are in the middle of this. I don't know the answer, but I know this story, about Emily Hand, must be central to it.

Send us a Text Message.Join us on an auditory journey through the melodic battleground of the Eurovision Song Contest, where the shimmer of sequins often belies the shadow of political dissent. As a lifelong devotee of the competition, I've witnessed firsthand the transformation of Eurovision from a purely artistic showcase to a stage where political activism plays out in song and spectacle. We reminisce about iconic acts like ABBA and Celine Dion, while grappling with the contentious reactions to performers from countries mired in conflict. It's a discussion that goes beyond the applause, diving into the heart of protests and the role of artists as inadvertent political emissaries.The narrative takes a poignant turn as we recount Emily Hand's chilling abduction and her father's desperate plea for her safe return, a stark reminder of the human stories behind geopolitical strife. Through the evocative lyrics of "October Rain," we pay homage to the enduring spirit of those touched by terror and explore the complexities of boycotts as a response to international incidents. Does cutting cultural ties truly sanction the powerful, or does it simply silence the innocent? Together, we'll debate the impact of such actions on the very fabric of our interconnected lives.As the final notes of our episode fade, we part with a message that celebrates our collective humanity. Gratitude fills the air as I thank you, the listener, for embarking on this intricate expedition with me. It's a testament to the belief that despite the tremors of global politics, the simple act of sharing stories and songs can still unite us. So, here's to the power of connection and the hope that it inspires in each of us to foster a world where understanding and compassion resonate louder than discord.

Where to for Loyalism?I have met many loyalists over a very long time. In prison. Out of prison. In secret or in private talks going back to the 1970s. And many times since then. I like to think that some of us became friends. Or at least we became friendly. Some loyalist leaders played a crucial role in the negotiations which led to the Good Friday Agreement. They deserve great credit for that. That was then.  Unfortunately some of those involved have died or are no longer active. In other instances more progressive elements have been replaced by a younger cohort, with little interest in politics or experience of prison or conflict. Twenty five years after the Good Friday Agreement the main loyalist organisations remain in existence. Why?Peace requires respect for Palestinian rightsThe four day ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages, including Emily Hand the nine year old Irish/Israeli child, was a welcome development. Every effort must now be made to ensure the release of all hostages. But this must include those Palestinian hostages – now numbering in their thousands and including many children – some of whom have been interned by Israel for years.The Far Right must be challengedThe horrifying stabbing in Dublin last week of three children and a woman from Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire and the subsequent street violence was shocking. And the bravery of those who tackled the attacker is to be commended.  The burning of Garda cars and buses  and  the looting of shops  must be condemned. But that is not enough.  There are real questions about how these events were handled  and about the lack of resources, policing capacity and intelligence.  

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an dara lá de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Barra Mac Giolla Aoláin. Tá a mbuíochas léirithe ag teaghlach Emily Hand leo siúd a thacaigh leo an cailín Éireannach-Iosraelach atá naoi mbliana d'aois a fháil ar ais ó fhuadach Hamas. Tá sé ráite ag an Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, gur freagraíodh paidreacha an náisiúin nuair a fógraíodh go raibh Emily Hand saor ó bhraighdeanas in Gaza. Cuireadh síneadh leis an sos cogaidh idir Iosrael agus Hamas agus scaoileadh níos mó giall idir phríosúnaigh in Gaza agus Phalaistínigh i ngéibheann in Iosrael. Tugann an sos cogaidh deis cúnamh daonnúil a bhfuil géarghá leis a cheadú isteach i stráice Gaza. Tá sé fógartha go bhfuil an t-amhránaí agus cumadóir amhrán Shane MacGowan tar éis bháis. Scríobh na Pogues ar na meáin shóisialta, "Fuair Shane bás suaimhneach ag 3am ar maidin lena bhean chéile Victoria agus a theaghlach taobh leis." Chaith sé roinnt míonna in Ospidéal Naomh Uinseann i mBaile Átha Cliath i mbliana ach scaoileadh amach é seachtain ó shin agus d'fhill abhaile chun am a chaitheamh lena chairde agus lena theaghlach. Bhí clú agus cáil air as an ról sa bhanna ceoil na Pogues agus an singil iomráiteach a bhí acu, Fairytale of New York. Dúirt an tUachtarán Micheál D. Ó hUiginn gur “Cheangail a chuid focal na hÉireannaigh ar fud na cruinne lena gcultúr agus lena stair, ag cuimsiú an oiread sin mothúcháin dhaonna ar na bealaí is fileata.” Tá sé ráite ag Coimisinéir na nGardaí go bhfuil an tAonad Ord Poiblí le 200 taser a fháil, agus go bhfuil sé ag iarraidh go gcuirfí dhá ghunna uisce ar fáil go buan. Dúirt an Coimisinéir Drew Harris leis an Choiste Oireachtais um Dhlí agus Cirt go bhfuil gardaí ag imscaradh dhá ghunna uisce, atá ar iasacht ón PSNI, i mBaile Átha Cliath faoi láthair. Beidh ceamaraí coirp ar fáil sa phríomhchathair go luath in 2024, bliain níos luaithe ná mar a bhí beartaithe ar dtús, agus tá gach garda tosaigh chun sprae piobair níos láidre a fháil. D'athraigh an rialtas an dlí an tseachtain seo caite chun úsáid a bhaint as ceamairí coirp tar éis an fhoréigin i mBaile Átha Cliath. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

While anti-Israel protestors call for a permanent cease-fire and Hamas apologists claim that the terrorists didn't commit atrocities on October 7, the returned children kidnapped by Hamas tell a harrowing, tragic, and much different story. Nine-year-old Emily Hand is one example. And the ideological war fomenting outside of the actual war is consequential far beyond the Middle East.  Author: Jim Denison, PhD Narrator: Chris Elkins Subscribe: http://www.denisonforum.org/subscribe Read The Daily Article: https://www.denisonforum.org/daily-article/israeli-children-hostages-hamas-kidnappings/ Dr. Jim Denison invites you to download his free digital book, The War in Israel: What You Need to Know about This Crisis of Global Significance.

Over the last five days of the truce between Israel and Hamas, 81 hostages have been released, mostly women and children. One of those kids is 9-year-old Emily Hand. Her father, Thomas, was told that his daughter had died, and he told CNN days after the October 7 attack that her death was “a blessing” because it was the “best news of the possibilities” that he knew. A month later, the Israeli army told him it was “highly probable” Emily was alive and a hostage of Hamas. CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward sat down with Thomas Hand after he was reunited with his daughter after more than 50 days. She tells Anderson Cooper he knew "her spirit" would help her survive. Plus, family and friends honored the life of former first lady Rosalynn Carter at a service in Atlanta. Jill Stuckey is a longtime friend of the Carters. She joins AC360 to remember her friend who she calls "remarkable." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A truce between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is extended by two days, Qatar announced today. The pause in fighting gives some relief to a besieged Gaza, and more time to work out deals to swap Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. Over the weekend, four-year-old American Israeli Abigail Edan was released, but not into the arms of her parents. They were killed in front of her on October 7th when Hamas stormed their kibbutz. Also released was 9-year-old Emily Hand, an extremely emotional moment for her father who initially believed she was dead. Eyal Nouri's aunt Adina Moshe was released on Friday, and he joined the program.  Also on today's show: Israeli psychologist Ayelet Gundar-Goshen; author Nathan Thrall; opinion writer Roxane Gay; Booker Prize-winning author Paul Lynch  Learn more about your ad choices.

[00:30] The Regime Media Is Pure Evil (37 minutes) Media coverage of the Israel-Hamas prisoner swap glosses over the crimes of the released Palestinian prisoners while glorifying Joe Biden's involvement in the hostage agreement and defaming Donald Trump in the same breath. Nine-year-old Emily Hand was finally released on Saturday after being taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, but the Irish prime minister called her a child who “was lost” and “has now been found and returned.” [36:50] WorldWatch (4 minutes) [40:20] Ephesians 1 Vision (12 minutes) The book of Ephesians explains what the true gospel of Jesus Christ is all about.

Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could -every day-  fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation-- this is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— The Game was a vicious battle between two unbeaten teams on Saturday—BUT when the dust cleared the embattled Michigan Wolverines emerged unbeaten—and ready for the next game against Iowa—   Number Two— A mystery flu in China—could it be the next pandemic on the loose? This time we are told it is hitting children very hard, with thousands hospitalized already—   Number Three— With Thanksgiving behind us—we are looking at the world around us—and what we find is instability, change and war—   In the Netherlands and earth shattering election victory for Geerts Wilder who has preached for decades against an invasion of Muslims into Western Europe—he is also poised to tear down the Green New Deal and put an end to the forced destruction of Dutch farms and agriculture under ill-advised climate deals forced by the EU and WHO among others shilling for the far left agenda—   Just says before Wilder claimed a historic victory—voters in Argentina rejected socialism across the board too—electing a man often compared to Donald Trump— Javier Milei—another far right leader—intent on destroying the shift left—   Here at home Donald Trump is also leading in the polls across the country—and the Democrats are in a full-blown panic in many circles with less than one year to go—   On the world stage all eyes remain on Israel and the war in Gaza—where the Hamas terrorists have released a few dozen of the hostages they took when they brutally murdered, raped and defiled more than 1,400 mostly unarmed civilians back on October 7th—   Among the hostages released—a 4 year old girl, Abigail Edan—whose parents were murdered in front of her that day—that's right these people took hostages that were 4 years old—   Another, a 9-year-old Irish-Israeli girl Emily Hand whose family thought she was dead—was at a sleepover when the bloody attacks began—   For now the IDF has called a temporary pause in fighting to allow for hostages to be released—and have promised an additional day for every 10 hostages set free—   But the weakness in the White House—from the frail and feeble Joe Biden has led us here—   War on his watch first came to Ukraine in February of 2022—and then to Israel in October—and this weakness will lead to other conflicts if we don't get back on the right track and very soon—   Biden's support of Israel has exposed huge divisions among partisan Democrats—many of whom say they will never support Biden again—others are so angry they turn out to heckle him whenever and wherever they can—and it happened again when so called “Free Palestine” activists shouted Biden down at the lighting of the Christmas Tree on Nantucket over the weekend—   And this, like I have been telling you since it began—is the Democrats Holy War that could tear the Party apart—once and for all—   What is strange again—is how pleased Joe seems to be with himself—I mean he has been a failure on both Domestic Policy and Foreign Policy—BUT to hear him tell it—he is a hero—and he thinks he is doing just a marvelous job—and his gleeful attitude while the world around him is burning is galling to say the least—    And like I said—this guy can spin anything—well, he can try—I mean the polls are getting worse all the time—setting all new record lows—with one time constituents fleeing in search of competence and sanity—something they are not being offered currently—   And coming back to the Holy War—this is a pivotal issue for millions of Democrat voters—and for young people they are rejecting support for Israel by numbers as high as 70 percent— And the left knows without every special interest group they have cobbled together in recent years—they stand no chance of holding onto power—   But here is the problem Joe Biden has—he DOES support Israel—BUT not very strongly it appears—   This is driving muslims away—and they know full well in a state like Michigan—that may cost them across the board—as Democrats will likely get punished—the ones who support Israel over Hamas anyway—   And we all know—this war in Gaza is far from being concluded as the IDF has a lot of work to do—   And of course there is still the matter of the ‘other war' in Europe—that is increasingly unpopular with people across the political spectrum—   And now we know because of the weakness of Joe Biden—Russia and China are becoming much closer—in fact there is talk of a literal tunnel to connect the two communist dictators in pursuit of global domination—   Yes, Joe Biden is a very dangerous man—because incompetence is very dangerous right now—at any level—   I will have more on this in the next hour too—with Victor Davis Hansen—

Iosrael le Gaza a chur i ngorta nó go saorfar gialla. The Israelis have indicated that they will not allow any water, food or humanitarian aid into Gaza or that the Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas in the enclave will be released. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag na hIosraelaigh nach ligfidh siad isteach in Gaza uisce, bia ná cabhair dhaonnúil ar bith nó go scaoilfear saor na gialla Iosraelacha atá i mbraighdeanas ag Hamas san iamhchríoch. There are about 2.4 million Palestinians living in Gaza and they are in the loop of the Israelis now more than ever since they have been under siege for a few days. Tá thart ar 2.4 milllún Palaistíneach ina gcónaí in Gaza agus tá siad i lúba na nIosraelach anois níos mó ná riamh ó tá an áit faoi dhochtléigear acu le cúpla lá. Already, the Palestinians of Gaza are in the loop of anger and what is there to meet their needs is becoming increasingly scarce. Cheana féin, tá Palaistínigh Gaza i lúb an angair agus a bhfuil ann de riar a riachtanais ag dul i dteirce go tréan. It is estimated that Hamas is holding around 100 hostages in Gaza, both civilians and soldiers. Meastar go bhfuil thart ar 100 giall á gcoinneáil in Gaza ag Hamas, idir shibhialtaigh agus shaighdiúirí. They were abducted when hundreds of members of Hamas carried out a brutal raid in southern Israel last weekend. Fuadaíodh iad nuair a thug na céadta comhalta de Hamas mór-ruathar brúidiúil faoi dheisceart Iosrael an deireadh seachtaine seo caite. Hamas killed people indiscriminately - the civilians of their base - when they went on a killing spree in Israeli settlements after breaching the barriers between Gaza and Israel. Mharaigh lucht Hamas daoine as éadan – sibhialtaigh a mbunáite – nuair a chuaigh siad ar mire mharfach i lonnaíochtaí Iosraelacha tar éis dóibh na bacainní idir Gaza agus Iosrael a bhearnú. It is currently estimated that over 1,300 people were killed in the incident and another 2,700 were injured. Áirítear faoi láthair gur maraíodh os cionn 1,300 duine sa sléacht agus gur gortaíodh 2,700 eile. Kim Damti, a 22-year-old Irish-Israeli, was among the dead. Bhí Kim Damti, Éireannach-Iosraelach 22 blain d'aois, i measc na marbh. The young woman was present at a music festival in southern Israel when a group of Hamas attacked the crowd and unleashed a bloody massacre. Bhí an bhean óg i láthair ag féile cheoil i ndeisceart Iosrael nuair a tháinig buíon Hamas aniar aduaidh ar an slua agus thug fogha fuilteach fúthu. 250 people were killed with Kim that year. Maraíodh 250 duine in éineacht le Kim san ár. It was reported this evening that another young woman of Irish origin, Emily Hand, was killed while visiting a friend in a kibbutz near the border. Tuairiscíodh tráthnóna gur maraíodh bean óg eile de bhunadh na hÉireann, Emily Hand, agus í ar cuairt ag cara léi in kibbutz in aice na teorann. In revenge for the horror and in the body of their own race, the Israelis have since killed their Palestinian children in Gaza, without stopping the 5,600 who have been injured. Mar dhíoltas as an uafás agus i gcorpéiric a gcine féin, tá a n-anlann Palaistíneach maraithe ag na hIosraelaigh in Gaza ó shin, gan an 5,600 atá leonta a bhac. In that end, a large part of the enclave has been flattened by the barrage of missiles that the Israelis have fired at the place since the weekend. Ina cheann sin, tá cuid mhór den iamhchríoch leacaithe ag na frasa diúracán atá scaoilte ag na hIosraelaigh leis an áit ón deireadh seachtaine. This morning, fifteen people were killed when the Israelis bombed a refugee camp in northern Gaza. Ar maidin inniu, maraíodh cúig dhuine dhéag nuair a bhuamáil na hIosraelaigh campa teifeach i dtuaisceart Gaza. The Israelis have promised, however,
