When news alerts went out that the US sent missiles to bomb Iranian nuclear sites, debates began about how deeply the US would continue to wade into the conflict between Israel and Iran. After days of panic, President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between the two countries. But it was Trump himself who, in his first term, stopped US efforts to limit Iran's nuclear program. Robert Malley was the lead negotiator of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal under then-President Barack Obama. To give context to the latest developments in the region, Malley joins WITHpod to talk about the the 2015 deal and its unraveling under Trump's first administration. Malley is also a lecturer at Yale University and the co-author of the upcoming book, “Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine.” This conversation was recorded June 25, 2025.

Viola Raheb in conversation with Brant Rosen, Mitri Raheb and Mohammed Abu-NimerRELIGION AND ETHICS IN TIMES OF WARCan religion be a recourse for peace and justiceIn times of conflict and war, religions and their ethical foundations occupy a complex and often contradictory role. While rooted in moral teachings that advocate for compassion, the sanctity of life, and forgiveness, religions also have the potential to become powerful forces for peace. Religious leaders and organizations can champion non-violence, provide humanitarian aid, and alleviate suffering, elevating peace as a moral imperative. Yet paradoxically, these same traditions are sometimes invoked to justify war—through interpretations of ‘just war' theories or the dehumanization of others. Religion and ethics can act as both constraints on violence and catalysts for conflict, depending on the context and interpretation. This challenge is compounded by the marginalization of voices within religious communities that advocate against war and violence, making it urgent to amplify these perspectives and foster cross-faith dialogue.With a special focus on the Israel-Palestine conflict, the panel discussion seeks to explore these pressing issues, identify pathways for collective action, and uphold peace as a universal value.Brant Rosen, is a Reconstructionist rabbi, writer, and activist based in the United States. He is the founder and rabbi of Tzedek Chicago, a congregation grounded in social justice and anti-Zionist principles. Rosen is a co-founder of the Jewish Voice for Peace Rabbinical Council and the author of Wrestling in the Daylight: A Rabbi's Path to Palestinian Solidarity.Mitri Raheb, is a Palestinian Lutheran pastor, theologian, and prominent Christian leader based in Bethlehem. He is the founder and president of Dar al-Kalima University and the author of numerous books on Middle Eastern Christianity and Palestinian identity. Raheb is an advocate for peace, justice, and cultural empowerment in the Palestinian territories.Mohammed Abu-Nimer, is a peacebuilding scholar and practitioner, specializing in conflict resolution and interfaith dialogue. He is a professor at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C., and Senior Advisor at the KAICIID Dialogue Centre. Abu-Nimer has led peace and dialogue initiatives across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.Viola Raheb, scholar of religious studies lecturer, writer and Senior Fellow at BKF

They discuss Cherien's latest film, All That's Left of You, an intergenerational story that goes back to the 1948 Nakba and arrives at the present and premiered at Sundance in early 2025. They talk about one of Suad's most famous books, Sharon and My Mother-in-Law, about life under Israeli occupation on the West Bank, and its upcoming adaptation to the screen, which Cherien will direct. Along the way, they discuss the effect of humor in storytelling, the role of diaspora Palestinians and relationship to the broader Palestinian collective, and the urgency of telling Palestinian stories.  Suad Amiry is an award-winning conservation architect and writer. She is Professor of Architecture at Jordan University and Birzeit University, Palestine and a cultural heritage specialist focusing on conservation of historic buildings and revitalization of historic centers.

From December 5, 2015: The show this week features Natan Sachs, a Fellow in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution, who recently published an article in Foreign Affairs on anti-solutionism as strategy in the Israel-Palestine conflict.During his conversation with Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Ben Wittes, Sachs argues that the apparent absence of a long-term strategy on the Israeli Right for dealing with the Palestinians is actually better described as a belief on the part of the Israeli Right that there are currently no solutions to the challenges Israel faces. Sachs call this policy “strategic conservatism,” noting that at times it has served Israel well, and at others has damaged the country's prospects for peace. Regardless of its effectiveness, Sachs explains that it is a philosophy U.S. policymakers need to better understand in order to make smart decisions about the problems in the Middle East.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

On se retrouve pour le dernier C CE SOIR de cette saison… Une saison commencée par la guerre au Liban, conclue par celle qu'on appelle déjà la guerre des 12 jours entre Israël et l'Iran et marquée entre temps par l'enfer de Gaza et par la brutalisation permanente des relations internationales depuis le retour à la Maison Blanche de Donald TRUMP… Alors face à ce monde nouveau, que peut la France ? Quelle voix peut-elle faire entendre dans ce nouvel ordre mondial où la force a remplacé la diplomatie ?

Open Forum: Pastor Amos and others, covered a range of spiritual and practical topics. On parenting, Pastor Amos and Ark shared strategies on balancing freedom and boundaries, highlighting adaptability and individual needs. The theme of unconditional love emerged strongly, with Micah, Pastor Amos, Stephanie, and Antoinette emphasizing loving without reciprocity, relational wisdom, and forgiveness. Conversations on Christian theology delved into Israel's role, cautioning against equating criticism with anti-Semitism and underscoring God's impartial judgment. The Israel-Palestine conflict was examined from a biblical lens, stressing alignment with God's will over taking sides. Concerns about media, especially Disney and secular music, focused on occult content, inconsistent standards, and the influence on worship and behavior, prompting a call for discernment and spiritual awareness. Modesty in clothing, particularly for young girls, was also discussed, reflecting generational shifts and biblical values.    Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com                  

Edward Said was one of the most influential intellectuals of the twentieth century. A literary scholar with an aesthete's temperament, he did not experience his political awakening until the 1967 Arab–Israeli war, which transformed his thinking and led him to forge ties with political groups and like-minded scholars. Said's subsequent writings, which cast light on the interplay between cultural representation and the exercise of Western political power, caused a seismic shift in scholarly circles and beyond. In this intimate intellectual biography, by a close friend and confidant, Nubar Hovsepian offers fascinating insight into the evolution of Said's political thought. Through analysis of Said's seminal works and the debates surrounding them, Edward Said: The Politics of an Oppositional Intellectual (American University in Cairo Press, 2025) traces the influence of Foucault on Said, and how Said eventually diverged from this influence to arrive at a more pronounced understanding of agency, resistance, and liberation. He consequently affiliated more closely with Raymond Williams, Antonio Gramsci, and more contemporaneously, with his friends the late Eqbal Ahmad and Ibrahim Abu-Lughod. Said held that it is the intellectual's responsibility to expose lies and deceptions of the holders of power. A passionate advocate for the Palestinian cause, his solidarity did not prevent him from launching a sustained critique of the Palestinian leadership. Hovsepian charts both Said's engagement with the Palestinian national movement and his exchanges with a host of intellectuals over Palestine, arguing that Said's interventions have succeeded in changing the parameters of the discourse in the humanities, and among younger Jews searching for political affiliation. Drawing on his diaries, in which he recorded his meetings with Said, as well as access to some of Said's private letters, Hovsepian illuminates, in rich detail, the trajectory of Said's political thinking and the depth and breadth of his engagement with peers and critics over issues that continue to resonate to this day. Nubar Hovsepian is associate professor emeritus of political science at Chapman University in Orange, California. He is the author of Palestinian State Formation: Education and the Construction of National Identity, and he edited and contributed to The War on Lebanon. Hovsepian has devoted enormous time to the Israel/Palestine conflict, and served, from 1982 to 1984, as political affairs officer for the United Nations Conference on the Question of Palestine.

A lively conversation about how surveillance tech, created and tested in Israel & the US, targets climate refugees across the world. And how refugees have much better solutions than more of the same.In this episode the executive director of Climate Refugees, Amali Tower, crosses the globe from Israel/Palestine to the U.S.-Mexico borderlands to look at the technology that connects the seemingly disparate realities of warfare, surveillance, and immigration raids, putting them in the context of climate change and increasing global displacement. When people arrive to the U.S.-Mexico border, Tower says, they get “the same digital fortress, the same technical fortress, the same virtual wall, and the same physical wall that has been battle tested in Palestine and on Palestinians.”Stay to the end of the conversation, when we turn to alternatives and what people can do to make the world a better place. Amali talks about her visit to Arizona and Sonora last year, when we visited the binational fair trade coffee cooperative Café Justo in Agua Prieta. As you'll hear, this is a thriving example of an alternative to border militarization and an assertion of the right to stay home.Amali says that in the 10 years that she's been looking at the intersection of climate and displacement, she sees “blatant hypocrisy from countries seemingly supposedly caring about saving the planet for future generations to come” while they are simultaneously undermining “all those goals and plans and adaptations and all these wonderful things we are supposed to be doing for the so-called existential threat.”Instead, she continues, “When it comes to war and militarism, when it comes to borders, when it comes to keeping people out, it's incredible how we only have language and infrastructure and architecture to do that.”Here are links to sources mentioned in the conversation: a look at climate change in Israel/Palestine, and the IPCC report and one by Amali on the Mediterranean basin as a climate hot spot. And here is Amali's piece written in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder in 2020, “If Black Americans Were to Seek Asylum, They Could Qualify.”The separation wall in Bethlehem, Palestine in 2021.

Alistair Kitchen has a warning for those planning travel to the United States. During a stopover in Los Angeles the Australian writer was pulled from the customs line, detained for 12 hours and questioned about his views on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

In this podcast Jeff discusses a moment he never dreamed would occur: Iran's nuclear facilities were destroyed by America and Iran is finally punished for its global terror. Every President from Carter through Biden looked the other way or appeased Iran's terrorism — Trump did not. Jeff eats some crow but points out the MAGA leading voices who sided with the Muslim terror state that tried to kill our President. And an update on Jeff's federal fraud sentencing before his fraternity brother. It was a hoot, it was surreal and it brought back a lot of memories.

This one's going to ruffle feathers. In this explosive guest episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Ian Wendt—founder of Official Patriot Gear—for a raw, no-holds-barred convo on war, propaganda, government control, and the Israel–Palestine conflict. Ian's not afraid to speak truths many shy away from—and Kaylor doesn't back down either. They unpack Zionism, the black pill mindset, foreign influence in U.S. policy, and what real patriotism actually means. Ian is a Christian and constitutionalist who believes evil is winning—but we still can too. You'll walk away questioning everything from foreign aid to freedom of speech. Episode Highlights: Zionism, propaganda, Israel lobby, censorship, black pill, evil vs good, patriotism, Trump criticism, Epstein list, freedom, U.S. foreign policy, autonomy     Takeaways:   The more awake you become, the more you should be winning Zionism and terrorism both stem from extremist ideology The Israel lobby has immense influence over U.S. politics Evil today hides behind suits and money—not swords and crowns Freedom of speech must include unpopular opinions True patriotism is nonpartisan and rooted in free agency The Epstein list's absence says more than its contents would     If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.

This is a recording of a NJN webinar from June 18th, 2025. Navigating issues related to Israel/Palestine in the queer community – and in some of the broader progressive spaces – can be challenging. There is a history of using Israel's relatively LGBTQ friendly environment to try to distract from the Occupation, a practice which has earned the label “Pinkwashing.” At the same time, there are the sometimes unfair asks that are made of Jews and/or Israelis.  To help us make sense of how to navigate these intersecting identities and issues, NJN hosted a webinar with two leading Jewish and progressive leaders known for their thoughtfulness and nuance.    Idit Klein (she/her) is the President & CEO of Keshet, the national organization for LGBTQ equality in Jewish life, a role she has held since 2001. Under her leadership, Keshet has mobilized tens of thousands of Jewish leaders to make LGBTQ+ equality a communal value and priority for action.  Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie (he/him) is a social activist, storyteller, writer, and community leader. He is the Co-Founding Spiritual Leader of the thriving Lab/Shul community in New York and the creator of the ritual theater company Storahtelling, Inc. This webinar was moderated by Noam Shelef (he/him), NJN's Vice President for Communications. Noam is not only a veteran advocate of peace and human rights in Israel/Palestine, he also spent part of his career leading efforts to uphold LGBTQ rights in workplaces.

Sahar Aziz speaks with Josh Paul about the law, politics, and policies surrounding the United States decades long military aid to Israel and specifically how such aid makes the U.S. complicit in Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza since October 2023. Josh Paul resigned from the State Department due to his disagreement with the Biden Administration's decision to rush lethal military assistance to Israel in the context of its war on Gaza. He had previously spent over 11 years working as a Director in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, which is responsible for U.S. defense diplomacy, security assistance, and arms transfers. He previously worked on security sector reform in both Iraq and the West Bank, with additional roles in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. Army Staff, and as a Military Legislative Assistant for a Member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee. he is a recipient of the 2023 Callaway Award for Civic Courage and 2024 MedGlobal Award for Courage. Currently, Josh Paul serves as the co-founder of a New Policy, an organization dedicated to transforming American foreign policy toward Israel/Palestine to reflect American values and foundational principles of liberty, equality, democracy, and human rights.At the time of the conversation in late May 2025, Israel's bombings and targeted assassinations in Gaza of doctors, journalists, and professors had killed over 65,000 Palestinians including more than 18,000 children and injured over 150,000 Palestinians.  Israel's military has destroyed every university.  Its military fully destroyed more than 70% of hospitals, and partially destroyed the remaining 30 percent, resulting in an unknown number of Palestinians dying from otherwise treatable diseases and injuries.  For 11 months in the spring of 2025, Israel banned the entry of all humanitarian aid and food into Gaza as part of an intentional mass starvation campaign that has caused unprecedented severe malnutrition for tens of thousands of Palestinian children.The devastation that Israel has wreaked upon the 2.3 million Palestinians trapped in Gaza – as collective punishment for Hamas' militant attacks and war crimes on October 7, 2023 – so extensive that even supporters of Israel are acknowledging the genocidal nature of Isreal's military campaign. Such violence inflicted upon a helpless civilian population would not have been possible without $20 billion in military aid from the United States of America since October 2023 – all funded by American taxpayers.Listen to the conversation about the policies and practice of U.S. arms exports to Israel that has become a permanent stain on U.S. foreign policy and undermined the rule of law internationally.#Israel #Genocide #Gaza #Palestine #JoshPaul #MilitaryAidSupport the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation: Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://csrr.rutgers.edu/newsroom/sign-up-for-newsletter/

This week Jeff opens with the long-awaited Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, a dazzling military operation years in the making. But instead of support for Israel, Jeff is stunned by the response: hatred not only from the far left but now pouring out of MAGA's biggest names. Yes, the Trump-right has joined Hamas and the progressive left in their obsessive Jew hatred, and Jeff is seething.Trump, meanwhile, couldn't resist taking credit for the Israeli success after the fact, even though he reportedly tried to block the strike for months. And if he actually helped, why didn't he greenlight American B-52s to finish the job on the underground nuke sites? Why is he trying to make a huge deal when the world's biggest sponsor of terror is on its knees?Also this week: a tale of how a young lawyer buying his first suits comes full circle 30 years later, this time as a man paying cash with 44 tailored suits under his belt. Plus, Jeff faces a federal judge he went to college with and admits, despite all of his own accomplishments, the judge is the better man.As always, Jeff pulls no punches. Not for MAGA. Not for Trump. Not for the far left. And certainly not for anyone siding with the world's worst terror regime.

How do we bridge divides when truth is so fiercely contested? In our search for moral clarity, what inner practices can help us hold multiple perspectives in a graceful manner, without collapsing into cynicism or false certainty? And what can we learn—about power, empathy, fairness, and truth—from someone who has stood at the intersection of journalism, faith, and one of the world's most intractable conflicts?Find out from Gregory N. Khalil, exclusively in conversation with Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa on Intersections Podcast.Gregory Khalil is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Journalism in the Columbia Journalism School at Columbia University in the City of New York. He is the co-founder and President of Telos, a Washington D.C.-based non-profit that equips American leaders and their communities to better engage seemingly intractable conflict.

Prior to founding Telos, Greg was a legal and communications adviser to Palestinian leaders on peace negotiations with Israel. Greg is also a founding member and chair of the board of directors of Narrative 4, a global non-profit that seeks to use story and media to cultivate empathy across divides. He has lectured internationally and his writing has appeared in leading media including The New York Times and The Review of Faith & International Affairs.In this episode, Gregory reveals:- Powerful inner practices that can help us navigate contradictions without falling into cynicism or false certainty- What separates exemplary changemakers from the rest—and what step quietly precedes meaningful action

One of Canada's leading experts on Israel and Palestine, former ambassador Jon Allen, returns to the Red Passport to discuss the ongoing crisis, how the region could move toward a lasting and just peace, and what role Canada can play.

In the electrifying conclusion to Tom Bilyeu's conversation with ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante, the lens widens to encompass today's global flashpoints. Andrew applies his framework of power, leverage, and outcomes to the powder keg of present-day geopolitics. From Covid conspiracies and biological warfare, to the rise of China, the fate of the U.S. dollar, and the shifting allegiances shaping the 21st century, Andrew breaks down how world leaders really make decisions—far removed from conventional morality. This part takes a deep dive into modern conflict zones including Russia-Ukraine, the Israel-Palestine crisis, and the West's declining grip amid new authoritarian contenders. Tom and Andrew wrestle with the hard questions: Are chemical and biological weapons just another leverage tool? Why are democracies struggling while strongman regimes rise? And what does the America-first, leverage-maximizing approach actually look like in real time? Buckle in for a rapid-fire tour through the next era of global power, what it has to do with everyday life, and why understanding the "spy playbook" has never mattered more.

Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and Prof. Ilan Pappè, historian at Exeter University, UK, for an in-depth conversation on one of the most enduring and contentious issues of our time: the Israel-Palestine conflict. Drawing on Pappè's powerful new books—Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic and A Very Short History of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, Sachs and Pappè discuss the historical, political, and ideological forces that have shaped the Zionist movement and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.    Together, they explore how lobbying networks in the UK and US have influenced the foreign policy of both countries, and the role of the UK and US in the Israel-Palestine conflict. They delve into the historical roots of Zionism, the legacy of British colonial rule in Mandatory Palestine, and the role of the US in the Israel-Palestine conflict from the adoption of the UN Partition Plan in 1947 until today. This episode offers listeners a deeper understanding of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine by delving into the historical processes that shaped the conflict during the past century and more. The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

00:04:20 - 00:14:25: FBI's Role in January 6 and Lack of TransparencyKash Patel and Dan Bongino's evasive responses on FBI's involvement in January 6, suggesting a deep state operation. Critique of their alignment with the party line, lack of clarity, and distrust in forthcoming information being filtered through Congress. Mentions Jeffrey Epstein's death as a non-suicide, reflecting broader skepticism of official narratives.00:31:50 - 00:42:13: Media Manipulation and PropagandaDiscussion of Caitlin Johnstone's article on how Western media uses distortions, emphasis, and omissions to shape narratives, particularly on Israel-Palestine. Emphasis on the need to focus on raw data to counter manipulation, with examples of underreported issues like starvation in Gaza versus overreported stories like Russia-Ukraine.00:46:29 - 00:59:40: Lab-Grown Meat as a Control MechanismCritique of lab-grown meat as a tool for corporate control, removing self-sufficiency in food production. Discussion of its ethical and environmental claims as hollow, with concerns about engineered scarcity and dependence on conglomerates. Mentions the unappetizing nature of lab-grown products like the “world's largest cultivated chicken nugget.”01:13:29 - 01:17:16: Montana's Ban on Warrantless Data PurchasesMontana's Senate Bill 282 prohibits law enforcement from buying personal data (e.g., geolocation, financial records) without a warrant, closing the data broker loophole. Critique of government's data buying/selling practices, with DMVs profiting millions (e.g., Florida: $77M, California: $52M in 2017).01:19:55 - 01:26:01: Meta's Facial Recognition Glasses and Surveillance RisksMeta plans to integrate facial recognition into Ray-Ban smart glasses, enabling real-time identification of passersby, raising severe privacy concerns. Unlike fixed cameras, mobile glasses are harder to detect, potentially enabling mass surveillance by individuals or government.01:27:35 - 01:37:47: Transphobia Investigation Over Lucy SkeletonBrazilian woman faces up to three years in prison for calling Lucy the skeleton female, deemed transphobic by activists who argue ancient fossils could have had modern gender identities. Critique of this as an attack on objective reality and scientific fact.01:55:04 - 02:00:25: Israel's Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation of GazaNetanyahu admits to ethnic cleansing goals in Gaza, citing destruction of homes and lack of countries accepting Palestinian refugees. Israel's blockade and use of food to lure starving civilians criticized as inhumane, with growing disapproval even among Republicans (Pew: 37% unfavorable views by 2025).02:00:42 - 02:12:27: Measles Panic and Vaccine DangersMedia exaggerates measles as the “world's most infectious disease” (e.g., one DC case, 300 in Texas out of 31 million). Child's death misattributed to measles was due to medical error (delayed antibiotics for pneumonia). Critique of vaccine schedules causing autism/allergies and mercury (thimerosal) in vaccines, requiring hazmat cleanup but injected into children.02:17:42 - 02:34:50: Susan Monterey's CDC Appointment and Biosecurity ConcernsSusan Monterey, appointed CDC director, criticized for biosecurity ties (ARPA-H, BARDA, DARPA) and vaccine advocacy. RFK Jr.'s endorsement as a Maha supporter questioned as a betrayal, given her support for AI-driven health projects (e.g., predicting diseases from personal data) and high-risk biomedical research, likened to pandemic manufacturing.02:34:50 - 02:42:09: NGOs and Government Funding Woke IdeologyUS government (CIA, USAID) and NGOs (Ford, Rockefeller Foundations) funded gay pride and transgenderism since the 1980s, evolving into woke ideology. Framed as a satanic agenda to destroy Western civilization, driven by spiritual forces beyond earthly institutions, with government as a tool of higher powers.02:47:22 - 03:03:14: Biological Computers and Brain-Computer InterfacesCortical Labs' Cow One uses human brain cells for neural networks, trained to play Pong, with potential for drug testing. DARPA, NIH, and Obama's BRAIN Initiative fund BCIs for military applications (e.g., memory transfer, neuro-weapons), raising concerns about mind control, transhumanism, and technocratic control via public-private partnerships.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.
