In this message from Is That in the Bible?: House of David, Pastor Levi Lusko looks at the moment Samuel comes to Bethlehem to anoint Israel's next king and discover how easily we can be fooled by what looks impressive on the outside. David was overlooked by his own family, dismissed by his brothers, and underestimated by everyone but God because while people judge by outward appearance, the Lord looks at the heart.This message will help you:– understand what the Bible says about David's anointing– discern what's Scripture, imagination, and extra-biblical tradition– value character over charisma, image, or status– prioritize soul health over surface-level presentationContinue watching in House of David Season 1, Episode 3, streaming on Amazon Prime Video.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

The United States has been a staunch ally of Israel for decades, and Americans used to be steadfast in their support for the country. But in recent years - and recent weeks - the special relationship between the two counties has come under fire.Several polls indicate that Americans have increasingly negative views of Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. And as the midterms approach, support for Israel is on the ballot in some races. Asma briefs Tristan on shifting US public and political opinion on Israel. And Jon Donnison discusses how fluctuating US sentiment on Israel is affecting domestic Israeli politics.The Global Story brings clarity to politics, business and foreign policy in a time of connection and disruption.

Yossi Farro has turned a mitzvah into a global mission. In this episode of Meaningful People, he shares how a childhood spent putting tefillin on strangers in New York grew into a journey that has taken him around the world, connecting with celebrities, billionaires, entrepreneurs, influencers, and everyday Jews. From chance encounters with actors to live streams and meetings with some of the biggest names in business, Yossi explains how persistence, authenticity, and a simple pair of tefillin opened doors he never imagined.    Along the way, Yossi discusses the Chabad philosophy behind mivtzoim, why he believes tefillin has the power to inspire lasting Jewish connection, and the remarkable stories that have kept him motivated through thousands of encounters. He also reflects on the Rebbe's tefillin campaign, outreach after October 7, lessons from some of the world's most successful people, and why his mission is only getting started.  Join Meaningful Minute Plus   This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors:   ► PZ Deals   Download the app and never pay full price again!   https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp   _________________   ► Colel Chabad Pushka App   The easiest way to give Tzedaka   https://pushkapp.cc/meaningful   _________________   ► EL AL   From the Hebrew announcements to the Israeli atmosphere onboard, flying EL AL feels like Israel before you even land.

This week the Supreme Court sides with President Trump on ending Temporary Protected Status. The decades-long program currently gives legal status in the U.S. to about 350,000 Haitians and more than 6,000 Syrians seeking refuge from crises at home.The court also ruled to renew a “turn-back” policy at the border with Mexico that prevents migrants from entering the U.S. to seek asylum. A decision on President Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship in the U.S. is expected soon.Also in Washington, the president creates chaos in his own party, demanding that Republican Senators reconsider their support for a war powers resolution on Iran.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Jessica Steinberg speaking with celebrated writer Etgar Keret. Etgar Keret, a leading voice in Israeli literature, with books published in over four dozen languages, talks about how his perception of writing has changed since the October 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught. Using typical Keret metaphors and description, he explains the challenges of the times, how he once wrote about ethics and ideas and community, and finds that those more abstract ideas have evaporated. Keret speaks at length about the disadvantages of being an Israeli artist in the public sphere, as audiences wait to hear something they don't like. He also discusses social media in this time period and the shifts in the artist-audience relationship. Keret's Substack newsletter, Alphabet Soup, has become a more amenable space in which to share his short stories and ideas. Keret, who teaches creative writing at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, now directs a new MFA program at the Jewish Theological Seminary and he speaks about his students and his desire to make a small but important change by leading the group of nascent writers. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by Ari Schlacht.

Fares Abraham is a Palestinian Christian and Daniel Klein is a Jewish Christian. Both Fares and Daniel grew up minutes from each other in the West Bank, and yet they were worlds apart—Fares lived in occupied Palestine and Daniel live in an Israeli settlement. Both of them share about their very different journies, which end up in similar places, culminating in a friendship, which offers a glimpse of what peace between Israelis and Palestinians could look like: not through politics or slogans, but through the reconciling power of Christ, honest truth-telling, mutual dignity, and a shared commitment to justice, mutual flourishing, and peace for all who call the Holy Land home. Daniel is the author of My Freedom from Zionism and Fares leads Levant Ministries.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Linda and Noah talk about: 1) a Hebrew University poll finding that eleven out of twelve Israelis think that Iran "won the war", and 2) the eviscerating new movie, "Yes", by Israeli director-in-self-imposed-exile Nadav Lapid, who despite his criticism of Israel and Israelis was BDSedly hounded out of next week's Marseille International Film Festival (for which discussion we were joined by novelist and Jerusalem Post film critic Hannah Brown!).

The new reality of Washington's relationship with Israel is slowly sinking in — and it's not pretty. As JD Vance grows visibly chummier with Qatar and Pakistan than with Israeli officials, Yonit and Jonathan discuss the likely impact of the shift and whether Israel's old assumption — that an American president will always have its back — has to be discarded for good. Then: as the Mamdani effect ripples through New York's primaries, sweeping in a slate of politicians sharply critical of Israel, the two debate who's really to blame.   Plus: Keir Starmer's resignation and likely successor, two former Israeli PMs along with a veritable platoon of former and current IDF commanders denounce settler violence in the West Bank - and a Jewish American comic genius reaches a milestone.   00:00 The World Cup and Jewish Connections 04:25 Israel's Changing Geopolitical Landscape 16:02 Shifts in American Politics and Israel's Position 24:04 The Nuances of Anti-Semitism and Political Shifts 29:13 Israeli Politics: Elections and Controversies 35:47 The Resignation of Keir Starmer and Its Implications 43:23 Celebrating Mel Brooks: A Comedy Legend

Trump says Iran is “being very nice” and “agreeing to everything,” but that sales pitch doesn't survive contact with the actual reporting. We sit down with Antiwar.com's Dave DeCamp to sort out what the US Iran memorandum of understanding seems to concede, why both governments are trying to frame the same document as a win, and how the memory of being bombed during earlier negotiations hangs over every new round of talks. We also dig into the most confusing public talking point: nuclear inspections. JD Vance claims Iran agreed to let IAEA inspectors back in, Trump talks like inspections last forever, and Iran pushes back hard. Dave walks through what inspectors were already doing, what access Iran has suspended since the June 2025 strikes, and why any lasting nuclear deal likely comes down to verification, uranium downblending, and whether Washington has quietly dropped some of its biggest demands. Then we widen the lens to the real spoiler: Lebanon. Rubio's line is that Israel is there because of Hezbollah, but a ceasefire without an Israeli withdrawal risks being a ceasefire in name only. We connect that to the Strait of Hormuz fight over tolls and shipping fees, the political backlash from neocons inside the GOP, and a rare congressional move a concurrent War Powers resolution that could strengthen the legal case against restarting an unauthorized Iran war. Finally, we unpack CNN's report of Iranian drone swarms described as a “jellyfish formation,” and why battlefield realities may be driving diplomacy more than anyone wants to admit.

This week we witness Trump under severe stress, as his marquee "deal" fall apart due to Israeli sabotage, as we also try and decode the dangerous love triangle emerging between the US, Israel and Iran, and if this further breaks the region, or somehow brings de-escalation and better balance to the geopolitics of West Asia.

For the Australian Jewish community, the date of December 14 carries as much gut-wrenching trauma as October 7 and September 11 does for Israelis and Americans, Daniel Hochberg, co-chair of Union for Progressive Judaism, told the Haaretz Podcast. On the six-month anniversary of the terrorist shooting attack on 1,000 Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach that killed 15 members of the tight-knit community, Hochberg and Haaretz editor Noa Levin reviewed the aftermath of the second most deadly attack in Australian history and its ongoing effect on the country’s politics and daily life for Australian Jews. “We don't feel safe as we did before,” Hochberg said, describing an increased “closing of spaces” to Jews who once felt part of progressive circles. “It has affected our sense of self-worth, our belief in our contribution to Australia is in question, and we are struggling with that. Our walls are being built higher and higher, so there's this feeling that the Jewish community, by almost default, is being isolated from the rest of Australian society.” On the podcast, Hochberg and Levin discussed the controversial formation and the ongoing testimony of the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, the national inquiry of the Bondi attacks which is focusing on growing antisemitic discourse in Australia, and the political impact of the attack inside and outside the Jewish community. The “totally unimaginable” violent attack and the Jewish community’s reaction, Levin noted, has sparked a conversation among young Jews regarding “who gets to speak for us at a national and international level, and what recommendations would all kinds of Jews like to see to ensure their safety in Australia,” while “touching on the intersection between criticism of Israel and antisemitism.” The Bondi attack, she said “has made the community incredibly sensitive to anything that looked, felt or smelt like something that could harm us, and that they have a right to do that, but I think it created something quite challenging in terms of discourse about Israel.” Read more: 'Reckoning Without Consequence Is Performance': Australian Jews Cautiously Welcome Antisemitism Inquiry Findings Australia's Historic National Inquiry Into Antisemitism, Explained How a Portrait of an Australian Jewish Leader Humanizes an Anguished Community The Australian Film About Jewish Fear and Unease Shot in Bondi Before the Massacre Despite a Moderate Downturn, Antisemitic Incidents in Australia Remained High for Second Year RunningSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A recent story has implied that a coffee shop in Brooklyn refused service to a Jewish man for no reason, sparking protests and claims of "that's how it began in Nazi Germany." The invocation and promotion of this caricature is proof that we are entering the final stage of a repeating cycle. The public is being force fed, for better or worse, antisemitic propaganda about Israelis and Jews while embracing true antisemitism in their demeaning of Arabs (and Islam). The flag of Islam has now been wrapped around the same people that destroyed Germany in the 1920s with drugs, porn, sexual depravity and genital mutilation. Every single thing decent Americans hate is being blamed on Muslims, from grooming children to socialism, despite these things being very "Jewish" in nature. For example, the New York City Mayor is supposed to be a radical Muslim who throws gays off of buildings and yet his team is comprised of Jews and rabbis; he further invested millions into transgender politics while hosting a pride parade. This subversion of the responsible parties can be found with the Roman Empire too, which is always blamed for the death of Jesus, attacks on Christians, and destruction of the Jewish temple. The truth is the Romans found no fault with Jesus, and allowed the Jews and Christians freedom until their violence and subversion became a threat to stability and order.  https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session62/a-hrc-62-crp-2.pdf*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

As the United States and Iran try to reach a lasting end to the war, a major hurdle has emerged: the volatile conflict in Lebanon. President Trump needs Israel to stop attacking Hezbollah there to get Iran to agree to a deal.

The Lebanese president says he will not accept any peace deal that does not include the full withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon. The two sides met in Washington on Tuesday for a fifth round of talks. Hezbollah has accused Israel of violating the recently-agreed ceasefire claiming IDF soldiers opened fire on a group of civilians in Lebanon killing two people. Also in this podcast: A United Nations-backed commission accuses Israel of deliberately targeting and killing Palestinian children in what it calls a "genocide".

Guest host Misty Winston and journalist Kyle Anzalone discuss the growing collapse of political support for Israel in the United States, highlighting a vote by the Idaho Republican Party to reject a resolution supporting Israel as evidence of a significant shift in grassroots opinion. They argue that social media and independent journalism have transformed public perceptions by allowing people to see events in Gaza directly, with Winston saying that a conflict once filtered through traditional media is now being viewed in real time.  The two also examine changing attitudes within both major political parties, suggesting that criticism of Israeli policy has become more mainstream and that politicians are increasingly responding to those changes in public sentiment. Calling the Idaho GOP vote a "real revolution," they contend that the influence of the Israel lobby is weakening and that "people have just continually been asking more and more questions" about U.S. support for Israel. Plus segments on Laura Loomer's unhinged hypocrisy over free speech, a new count dramatically increading the suspected death toll in Gaza and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's resignation.

Phil Giraldi : Get Ready for Israeli Sabotage of Iran DealSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following the first of three days of talks between Jerusalem and Beirut, Magid discusses the sharp critique first issued by Israel's US Ambassador Yechiel Leiter, regarding the connection being made between the Lebanon talks and the US-Iran deal, and the notion that Iran is being allowed to demand a ceasefire in a separate country. There is a battle of narratives in US President Donald Trump's administration over the US-Iran deal, notes Magid, extending into the Israel-Lebanon talks. US Vice President JD Vance is leading the Israel-Lebanon talks and supports some degree of Iranian influence over Hezbollah in Lebanon, reports Magid, viewing it as the only way forward for the embattled country. It appears that Secretary of State Marc Rubio, currently on a regional tour in the United Arab Emirates, isn't as supportive of the terms of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, says Magid, or of Iranian influence in Lebanon, and is keeping some distance, perhaps to protect his place as a possible Republican Party candidate for the 2028 presidential election. Finally, Magid discusses Gaza's Board of Peace, as various members head to Cyprus for a retreat to continue figuring out how to move forward, while insisting that it will take time to make headway on Hamas disarmament and Gaza reconstruction.

It's looking more and more like Israel may be headed to elections, soon. If Netanyahu can cut a deal with opposing political factions it may be in a few months, if he can't cut a deal though, elections may be as soon as in a few weeks. And according to polling in Israel, there is a very good chance Bibi's tenure as the Prime Minister of Israel, is over.  And what's even more surprising than Bibi possibly leaving the stage of Israeli leadership, is who might be rising to replace him.

The U.N. has just released a very extensive report demonstrating that Israel has deliberately targeted children in Gaza. The same report concludes that Israel has committed a genocide against the Palestinian people since October 27th, 2023. Many of us already knew this, but the provide the indisputable evidence to indict the Israelis of numerous war […]

In every generation there are malevolent forces seeking to destroy the Jewish people. They have never been successful, nor will they ever be. The Almighty always protects our people and ensures our continuity. Most of the time we are completely unaware of the mortal dangers that the Almighty thwarted on our behalf. The canonical example of this phenomenon is the story of our Parsha , when the greatest sorcerer of all time was hired to curse the Jewish Nation. In this special edition of the Parsha podcast, we share three deep ideas on the very unusual story of Bilaam's unsuccessful attempts to curse the Jewish Nation.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this lesson from the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the 12th, 13th, and 14th components of authentic teshuvah: understanding the consequences of sin, treating even seemingly small transgressions seriously, and the essential role of confession (vidui). The author teaches that part of sincere repentance is recognizing that actions have consequences. Not because Hashem seeks to punish, but because every sin creates distance between a person and their Creator. Understanding the spiritual cost of our choices helps awaken a deeper commitment to growth and a greater appreciation for the relationship Hashem desires to have with each of us. A central theme of the episode is the danger of minimizing "small" sins. Rabbi Wolbe explains that we often convince ourselves that certain behaviors are insignificant, yet the Torah warns us not to measure mitzvos and prohibitions according to our own standards. First, every commandment is significant because it comes from Hashem. Second, small actions accumulate over time. Third, repeated sins become normalized until they no longer feel wrong. Finally, the Yetzer Hara often begins with tiny compromises that eventually lead to far more serious transgressions. What appears insignificant today can become spiritually destructive tomorrow. The lesson concludes with the power of vidui—verbal confession. Rabbi Wolbe explains that repentance is not complete until a person articulates their mistakes before Hashem and commits to change. Confession is not merely an admission of guilt; it is an act of spiritual purification. Using the Talmud's famous analogy, he teaches that confessing without abandoning the sin is like immersing in a mikvah while still holding a source of impurity. True teshuvah requires both honest acknowledgment of the past and a sincere commitment to a different future. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on October 27, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 24, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Hawk addresses the establishment's attempt to frame the losses as a product of antisemitism, pointing out that the three congressional districts involved contain some of the largest Jewish populations of any districts in the country, meaning Jewish voters themselves rejected the AIPAC-backed candidates in large numbers. He plays a clip of Joe Scarborough's reaction and walks through an Axios report on moderate Democrats describing the results as an earthquake. Hawk also covers New York Attorney General Letitia James expressing disappointment in Mamdani, and plays a clip of New Jersey Congressman Josh Gottheimer going on Fox News to attack the results and conflate criticism of Israel's policies in Gaza with antisemitism. Hawk responds directly to Gottheimer's framing and his proposed legislation titled No Grounds for Discrimination, connected to a Brooklyn coffee shop named Poetica that banned Congressman Goldman over his support for Israeli policy.

Canadian political strategist, attorney and best-selling author Warren Kinsella described a highly organized, well-funded international effort to spread antisemitic propaganda and delegitimize Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, during a recent interview with Alan Skorski. Kinsella, whose new book “The Hidden Hand: The Information War And The Rise Of Antisemitic Propaganda” is a national best-seller, pointed to the rapid emergence of 2,500 protests worldwide — even as Israel was still identifying its dead, injured and kidnapped — as evidence that the demonstrations were not organic expressions of outrage but part of a premeditated campaign. “The sameness in the protests with the same slogans and messages, even if in different languages, the professional signs, and their acting in a way that was almost with military precision,” Kinsella said. He cited toolkits distributed by groups like Students for Justice in Palestine that instructed participants on whom to call if arrested and assured them that legal expenses would be covered. “It was the organization, money, and coherence that you just don't see in an organic spontaneous response to an event. It was clear that this was a ‘campaign,'” he added. Kinsella traced elements of the strategy back decades, referencing a 1993 meeting between American Jewish activist Gary Wexler and Israeli-Arab NGO leader Ameer Makhoul around the time of the Oslo Accords. According to Kinsella, Makhoul told Wexler that Palestinians would mirror and surpass Zionist campus activism, summer programs in refugee camps, global organizations and PR efforts — ultimately securing more media coverage. “They watched Jewish activism for decades, including programs like Birthright, and created their own infrastructure to dominate an information war against Israel,” Kinsella said. The author emphasized that young people have been prime targets of Hamas and its allies in Iran, Russia and Qatar. He cited a Harris poll showing that 70% of young Americans were more sympathetic to Hamas than to Israel following the Oct. 7 atrocities. Kinsella highlighted Hamas's “binary communication strategy,” noting the terror group's ability to livestream its horrors for recruitment among Arab and Muslim audiences while simultaneously denying responsibility for the massacre and blaming Israel to Western audiences. On the political front, Kinsella wrote that activists understand city councils do not set foreign policy but serve as “pillars and building blocks” that can influence higher offices and ultimately shape federal policy. He rejected claims that criticism of Israel is merely about policy, stating the campaign is rooted in antisemitism. Kinsella also debunked the blood libel accusing Israel of “genocide” in Gaza, describing Hamas as experts at provoking Israeli responses that produce civilian casualties for propaganda purposes. A prime example of media bias cited in the book occurred during President Joe Biden's visit to Israel in solidarity after Oct. 7. A rocket struck a Gaza hospital that day, prompting immediate headlines from The New York Times and other outlets accusing Israel of bombing the facility and killing hundreds. The story was later corrected — the hospital was barely damaged, casualties were minimal, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad was responsible — but the damage had already been done globally. Kinsella recently visited Israel for the premiere of his upcoming documentary “The Campaign,” based on the book, which examines the effort to delegitimize Israel, threaten Jewish communities worldwide and undermine Western democracy. “First they come for the Saturday people, then they come for the Sunday people,” Kinsella warned. -VIN News Watch the Interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FARX18QRslI&t=14s Watch the Trailer for Waren Kinsella's upcoming documentary, The Campaign: https://www.campaigndoc.com/ Alan Skorski Reports 24JUNE2026 - PODCAST

This was not a normal bad week. This was the week a bunch of people who spent years pretending the emperor had clothes all looked up at the same time and went, oh no.We open where the country opened: a rotting reflecting pool. A no-bid, $14.5 million renovation that bloomed bright green algae and peeled its custom "American Flag Blue" paint into the water, fixed with hydrogen peroxide that made it worse, then sold to the public as sabotage. Box cutters. A 350-foot slit that grew sixty feet mid-sentence. Five arrests over a pond.From there it only gets worse for him. Three federal courts ruled against this administration in a single Monday, on voter data, food assistance, and the retaliatory subpoenas aimed at Tim Walz, where a Bush-appointed judge used the word "risible." JD Vance flew to Switzerland to sell an Iran deal and got fact-checked and snubbed by Iran in real time. An Israeli cabinet minister told a country of six million to burn, and a platform called it a public service. Tucker Carlson quit the Republican Party. The Senate openly turned on him. Ken Paxton discovered he loves IVF the same week his own party voted to ban it. And Tulsi Gabbard cleaned out her desk by lobbing one more pre-pardoned Fauci grenade on the way out.Every story this week is the same story. Botch something, refuse to own it, invent an enemy, point the state at whoever's standing closest. We connect the dots, name the systems, and separate what's confirmed from what's spin.I'm Robin.

In June 1967, Israeli paratroopers fought one of the Six Day War's bloodiest battles to reunify Jerusalem. Ammunition Hill, a fortified Jordanian stronghold carved into the limestone hills of East Jerusalem, became the key to the Old City. What followed was four hours of chaos, courage, and carnage in a maze of narrow trenches. This episode unpacks the battle, its heroes, and the complicated legacy of a city reunified.

In this episode we are joined by Emmaia Gelman, author of The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State, a critical history of the ADL as a Cold War neoconservative institution. Gelman excavates the Anti-Defamation League's origins as a white, settler colonial institution founded by German-Jewish elites—not to combat antisemitism broadly, but to manage class respectability and suppress Eastern European Jewish immigrant socialists whom they viewed as a racial and social threat.  Gelman looks back at how early Jewish settlers had built fortunes through participation in 19th-century US territorial expansion, Indigenous dispossession, and slavery's economic system, understanding themselves as white Europeans racially distinct from the "vermin" arriving from the Pale of Settlement. The ADL and its predecessor, the American Jewish Committee (founded 1906), operated as Progressive Era eugenicist charities designed to "correct and fix" rather than support self-determination, preemptively capturing Jewish political identity to prevent autonomous radical organizing. Gelman traces how the ADL evolved from an instrument of McCarthyite purges—coordinating mass firings of Jewish leftists in 1951, offering its services to McCarthy committee members, and abandoning Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to execution while denying antisemitism played any role in their prosecution (the judge who sentenced them sat on the ADL's Civil Rights Committee)—into a key architect of Cold War anti-communism and neoconservative "democracy promotion." The organization attacked Arab League representatives speaking about Zionist violence in Palestine as early as 1946, treating Palestinian and Arab organizing as "foreign insurgency" while framing Jewish fundraising for Israeli settlement as natural civic participation. After Israel's 1967 military victory, the ADL strategically re-racialized Jews as non-white within the framework of race liberalism, allowing it to cast Israeli militarism as defensive racial liberation and Arab calls for refugee return as antisemitic rather than anti-colonial. This racial pivot occurred precisely as European Jews had achieved economic whiteness through the GI Bill, suburbanization, and the collapse of university quotas—benefits systematically denied to Black populations through redlining. Emmaia Gelman is the author of The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State, a critical history of the Anti-Defamation League as a Cold War neoconservative institution (UC Press, 2026) and co-editor of The Anti-Defamation League: A Critical Reader (Pluto Press, 2026). She co-hosts the podcast Unpacking Zionism. Emmaia is co-chair of the American Studies Association Caucus on Academic and Community Activism, and a longtime activist in New York City. She is the founding director of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, which examines the political and ideological work of Zionist institutions in Palestine and transnational contexts. She researches the history of ideas about race, queerness, safety, and rights, and their production as levers in surveillance, "anti-terror", and war.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following an IDF press tour of a Hezbollah underground military base, Fabian describes the massive space created with Iranian planning and funds, used as a staging ground for car-sized UAV drones that can travel the length and width of Israel. Fabian notes that the underground base is similar to what has been found in Iran, missile sites built into a mountain to hold and launch assets, and constructed during the last decade. With Israel and Lebanon slated to start talks in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, Fabian discusses the IDF's positioning in Lebanon and the army's ceasefire limitations from acting against all but the most immediate threats. Several Hamas terrorists in Gaza -- known to have been involved in taking hostages on October 7, 2023 -- were recently targeted and killed by IDF strikes. Fabian reports that while the operations violate the ongoing ceasefire, the IDF claims the terrorists were planning on carrying out strikes on Israeli forces.

//The Wire//1800Z June 23, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: DETAILS CLARIFY SEQUENCE OF EVENTS REGARDING YESTERDAYS SHOOTING IN MONTREAL. ISRAELI FORCES CONTINUE ADVANCE NORTHWARD IN LEBANON. MASS SHOOTING REPORTED AT CALIFORNIA LIBRARY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Lebanon: Overnight Israeli forces continued their advance toward Ali al-Taher further extending their salient northward. Several airstrikes were reported throughout the area as the IDF advanced into Hezbollah-held terrain, which prompted Hezbollah to repel the advance, which in turn resulting in more airstrikes from the IDF.Strait of Hormuz: Commercial maritime traffic has continued, however so far the total number of ships transiting the waterway has remained sharply reduced compared to pre-war levels; a couple of dozen ships have transited daily since the MOU was signed, which is less than the 100+ ships that transited before the war. Analyst Comment: The traffic has continued despite the Iranian threats to close the Strait, though maritime shipping companies are still trying to figure out the logistics of how this is going to work out. So far, the Iranian "toll" route to the north is the only route being used right now, though the Iranians have waived the fee for the 60-day period in which the final peace deal is being worked out. However, all merchant vessels are now required to obtain a permit from the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), the new Iranian entity that is controlling access to the Gulf.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Demonstrations and vandalism attempts have continued on the National Mall, as Pro-Algae activists have remained at the site of the reflecting pool renovation project. So far, a handful of people have been arrested for trying to tamper with the reflecting pool in various ways, and the National Guard has stepped up foot patrols in the area in response.California: Yesterday afternoon a mass shooting was reported at the Butte County Library in Chico. One gunman entered the library shortly after 5:00pm local time, and began shooting visitors inside. Police immediately responded to the facility, and the shooter was apprehended in a wooded area immediately outside the library as the security cordon was established. Concerning casualties, the library was mostly empty at the time of the shooting, however two people were killed and one child was wounded by the shooter during the attack. Analyst Comment: The suspect has been identified as Bradley Scott Sayer, who reportedly lived in Chico. Sayer allegedly made statements after being arrested, claiming that he attempted to carry out a massacre at the library reminiscent of previous mass shootings.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Canada, more information has come to light regarding the attempted mass shooting yesterday. The sequence of events remains uncertain, however the investigation has revealed that much of the information the responders were making decisions on in the heat of the moment, was actually erroneous.The initial details of a shooter being on foot in the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood do not appear to be true, nor were the initial claims of the gunman being inside the grocery store, and it is not clear as to why police were observed at either location. The shooter was actually located inside an improvised firing position inside a hotel room at the Hilton Garden Inn. From this position, he began firing at the corporate office building across the street.The target of this shooting was the headquarters building for Aylo...a "software company" which is actually the parent company for websites hosting "adult" content. The assailant began the attack by shooting through his hotel room window, into the corporate office building. After firing an unknown number of rounds, the shooter exited the hotel, and ran up and down Av. de Courtrai searching for targets (which is possibly the reason for the police initially thinking the shooter was in the grocery store). Eyewitness statements during the fog of war are not the most accurate, and pinpointing the shooter's whereabouts after departing the hotel is challenging, and at this point reports emerged of a second possible shooter being located in the same area (which turned out to be false). Eventually, the shooter attempted to make entry to the Aylo building, but was unable to do so before police spotted the shooter and the final skirmish began.Concerning the victims, the man who was accidentally shot by police at the entrance to the Aylo building has been identified as Michael Moshe Mizrahi, an Israeli citizen and local Rabbi for the heavily-Jewish community that surrounds the site of the shooting. Last night, Montreal Police identified the officer that was killed as Officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane. The status of the female officer who was wounded remains unclear, though some sources claim that she remains in critical condition at a hospital. Regarding the shooter, the suspect has been identified as Seth Hatfield, and a manifesto was allegedly sent to various media groups right around the time of the attack. The manifesto itself is a little long for these types of documents at 104 pages long, and despite the first page of the document widely circulating social media (and thus attributing motive), nearly the entire document is promoting Communism and encouraging violent revolution, which seems to be the predominant motivation for the attack.More details are expected as the investigation continues, and special focus will likely be placed on clarifying the details of what led to the initial police response being observed so far from the actual shooting site, as well as what actually transpired within the hotel, and on the street between the initial first shots, and the final engagement. Another unresolved detail is any coordination or prior-knowledge of the attack by any co-conspirators. The shooter's manifesto specifically mentions other works and writings by the shooter, which presumably had an audience of probably more than just the shooter himself. Based on the writings of the assailant, he clearly thought of himself as an academic, and wrote extensively on various pro-Communist ideas. As such, figuring out whether or not this individual acted alone will be a focal point moving forward.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

//The Wire//2300Z June 22, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TERRORIST ATTACK REPORTED IN MONTREAL AS SHOOTER CONDUCTS MULTIPLE ENGAGEMENTS THROUGHOUT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. KEIR STARMER RESIGNS AS PRIME MINISTER. SITUATION IN LEBANON REMAINS TENUOUS AS ISRAELIS REFUSE TO HALT ATTACKS. STABBING ATTACK REPORTED IN SCOTLAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Qatar: Last night an industrial accident was reported at one of the main natural gas terminals in Ras Laffan, which was in the process of being restarted to resume production after the war. The Qataris claim that this was not the direct result of combat action, however the incident killed a total of 13x people, and injured roughly 50x others.United Kingdom: This morning Keir Starmer resigned as Prime Minister. This resignation is not immediate, and is expected to result in some form of leadership contest later on. Analyst Comment: Andy Burnham is likely to be his replacement, but this process will take a few months to develop as the formalized party efforts to select their new PM continue over the next few weeks.Scotland: Over the weekend a stabbing attack was reported in Edinburgh. One assailant attempted to conduct a stabbing on Lieth Walk, near a row of shops and businesses. Initial reports claimed that a total of 5x people were wounded during this attack, but this remains unconfirmed at this time.Analyst Comment: Due to the nature of the attack, the media coverage has been extensive, although very few details are known regarding how the attack began. Of note, several photos appearing to be AI-generated have circulated following this attack, so it is challenging to determine which photos are real and which are "AI-enhanced". More details will undoubtedly come in due time, which may clarify what actually happened.Canada: This afternoon a shooting was reported in Montreal, as one assailant attempted to conduct a mass shooting in the vicinity of the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood. One gunman equipped with an SKS-type rifle and web gear, began the attack by engaging police along one of the streets of this community. Eventually, this skirmish transitioned to the Westbury Supermarche PA at the north end of Av. de Courtrai, with the shooter taking up a position inside the supermarket. As police advanced on this location and began breaching the supermarket, the shooter egressed two blocks to the southwest, where the shooter made contact with the police cordon at the corner of Av. de Courtrai and Decarie Boulevard. At this location, a close-range small arms engagement broke out between the shooter and two officers, which resulted in one officer being killed in action. During the fray, the other officer accidentally shot a bystander, who was attempting to seek cover from the shooter. After shooting the civilian, the officer broke contact and maneuvered to a different position away from the shooter, and in doing so was shot in the back. A few moments later, the shooter was neutralized by other officers who were maneuvering south down Courtrai avenue, from the grocery store.Analyst Comment: The circumstances of how the shooting began are unclear. The initial footage of the incident begins at the grocery store, however SWAT was already chasing someone on foot in the residential neighborhood several blocks to the east of the shooting site. Also, the only victims of the shooting so far appear to be the officer that was shot by the suspect, and the civilian that was erroneously shot by police. The reasoning for why police (and especially tactical units such as SWAT) were already on the scene is possibly due to the shooter sending his manifesto to media groups before the attack began. More details are expected overnight as the shooter's identity and the sequence of events become more clear.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Middle East, the status of the tentative peace deal remains uncertain, but in Switzerland, the talks appear to be continuing to some degree. The Iranian delegation did walk out after President Trump threatened to kill them during a phone interview with Fox News. Specifically President Trump threatened to kidnap/kill the negotiating team if Iran closes the Strait again in response to Israeli advances in Lebanon. Upon these remarks being broadcast, the Iranian delegation walked out of a photo op that had been planned with VP Vance, although they did not completely halt the talks.Concerning Lebanon, PM Netanyahu has stated many times that Israeli forces will not depart Lebanon, and over the weekend the IDF continued to consolidate the gains made so far. No withdrawal of the IDF has been noted in any way, which is a non-starter the peace process, but the reason for this is probably not just about politics and attempting to assert dominance.The tactical situation on the ground is not great and the sudden signature of the MOU (ahead of schedule) appears to have caught the IDF in a predicament. If the IDF were to halt their forward progress right now, they would be at a military disadvantage as they mostly occupy the low terrain in Tabieh, northward along the Litani River basin. The IDF has just barely gotten a foothold on the northwestern side of the Litani, infamously capturing the historic Beaufort Castle last week, which serves as the only real tactically-advantageous terrain along this eastern front. As a result, the IDF knows that they will get pounded by Hezbollah's rockets if they stay where they are, especially since they have overextended themselves to the point that a salient (or bulge in the lines) has emerged, exposing this spearhead to attacks from three sides. This vulnerability has been noted by the attack on the armored armored column a few days ago, which was advancing north in Nabatiyeh.The IDF could of course always resolve their disadvantage in terrain by stopping their invasion of Lebanon and withdrawing to their own borders, but this is absolutely not going to happen at this point. What's far more likely is for the IDF to continue pushing until they fully seize and consolidate the high ground east of Et Taher. From there, they will be able to look down on the collection of towns that make up the greater Nabatieh area. How this will work out is anybody's guess, as the IDF is not exactly accustomed to fighting ground advances of several miles from their own borders with a serious and well-equipped adversary like Hezbollah. Bottom line: The situation in Lebanon is messy and very unlikely to be resolved anytime soon due to the military situation on the ground. As Lebanon is a central focus point for the US/Iran deal, the proverbial 'rock' has met the typical 'hard place' and this is going to be a problem for the deal moving forward.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger react to social media comments by Laura Loomer predicting a future terrorist attack in the United States, arguing that her warnings represent a transparent attempt to shape public opinion against a potential U.S.-Iran peace agreement. With so many pro-Israel voices like Loomer opposing diplomatic efforts with Iran, he points out that fear of terrorism is often used to justify continued conflict and support for Zionist political goals.  Citing commentary from Glenn Greenwald, the segment questions the timing of Loomer's remarks and suggests they could make people suspicious that any future attacks are actually false flags intended to renew war with Iran. Jimmy ultimately argues that aggressive policies by the Israeli government and its supporters create more hostility and insecurity for Jewish people rather than increasing their safety, saying, "If I was a Jew, I would be furious at people like Laura Loomer." Plus segments on the effort to ruin a student's life who rejected a internship saying he didn't want to "work for a Jew," and Glenn Greenwald disparaging podcaster Dave Rubin's intelligence and insisting that the "antisemitism slur" has lost its impact. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. And a hilarious phone call from JD Vance!

Today's Headlines: Oh boy, what a weekend! Trump deployed the National Guard to the reflecting pool, where they arrested a 67-year-old former Olympic cyclist who stopped during a bike ride and touched the water to feel the liner — charging him with destruction of government property. Trump posted that "multiple individuals" were arrested for vandalism and threatened "years in jail." The algae situation is now worse than ever, and we now know that the no-bid contract was awarded to a company owned by a Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago member named John Cafaro whose firm Greenwater Services was clearly not equipped for the job. Trump also got into a feud with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after claiming she "begged" him for a photo at the G7, which Italy responded to by canceling a planned state visit and Meloni posting a video saying "Italy and I do not beg," and Trump doubled down anyway. He also posted a photo of a random woman captioned "great daughter, my honor!!" who turned out to be a Clinton-era businesswoman whose actual daughter is the chairwoman of the Manhattan Republican Party. On the war beat, less than a day after signing the memorandum of understanding, US intelligence warned Trump that Netanyahu would likely undermine the deal — which he immediately did by continuing strikes in Lebanon, prompting Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz again. JD Vance made it to Switzerland for negotiations on Sunday with Tweedles Dee & Dum (Kushner & Witkoff), and Trump promptly torpedoed the meeting by posting threats of "harder strikes" against Iran while it was actively happening, causing Iran to walk out and demand an apology. As of Sunday night talks were back on, and Trump announced that if everything falls apart he's blaming JD Vance. The Pentagon also told Congress it needs $80 billion to cover the cost of the Iran war and replenish depleted ammunition supplies, Republicans need 60 Senate votes to pass it, and it's not looking great. Meanwhile, the Qatar-gifted $400 million plane has completed modifications and is ready to join Trump's Air Force One rotation, and the DOJ refused in a court filing to put in writing that they won't create the Traitor Fund, calling a written promise "unnecessary" because they already said so verbally, which is exactly what someone planning to do it anyway would say.

We're joined by our longtime friend, Franklin Foer of The Atlantic! We have a deal in Iran or at least an agreement to have an agreement. Even some Republicans are calling this an unconditional surrender. Al and Frank break down the massive concessions, which include a staggering $300 billion to reconstruct Iran, lifted blockades, and Iranian tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. And what does all of this mean for Trump and Netanyahu's plummeting relationship ahead of the Israeli elections this fall?Frank also breaks down the war in Ukraine, the situation in Venezuela, and ongoing tensions with Cuba.Plus, we discuss Frank's bestselling book, “How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization.” It was recently reissued to coincide with the U.S. hosting the World Cup. Frank explains how his views of world soccer have changed since the original publishing and why globalization never brought us the "kumbaya political liberalism" we were promised.READ Franklin Foer in The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/franklin-foer/READ Frank's book, “How Soccer Explains the World:” https://www.harpercollins.com/products/how-soccer-explains-the-world-franklin-foer

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, there are ongoing Hezbollah attacks—firing missiles and drones daily into Israel under a supposed ceasefire, directed by Iran, forcing depopulation of northern Israel. Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy never truly part of Lebanon that has murdered hundreds of Americans, assassinated Lebanon's president, and weakened the country, remains its most powerful force. The proposed MOU demanding Israel ceases military operations permanently, including in Lebanon, before a final agreement risk enabling continued Iranian aggression while setting Israel up for blame if it defends itself. Also, the $300 billion fund for Iran, which the U.S. would not fund but others would, was agreed upon after Iranian demands for reparations. Granting them access to this money will enable rearmament and reinforcement, as has occurred before. This Iranian regime cannot be bought off, given their belief that Allah wants non-compliers slaughtered. Iran already admits that they will help Hezbollah once they get the money. Hezbollah launched an attack tonight in which 4 Israeli soldiers were essentially incinerated. No MOU or final agreement will change who these terrorists are.  Finally, Batya Ungar-Sargon calls in to discuss her new book - The Jews and the Left. Learn more about your ad choices.
