The innocent and high-valued term "peace" has been hijacked for years, in the context of Israel and our enemies. Martin Sherman breaks down for us exactly how the term has been hijacked and what the word "peace" in the context of Isreal today really means.

Reynolds, Martin Sherman, Annika Hammerton, Flaminia Cinque, John Burke, Brian Milligan Sinopsis Una joven enamorada (Amy Adams) va a Dublín para pedirle a su novio que se case con ella. Lo hará siguiendo una tradición irlandesa, según la cual solo un día cada cuatro años -el 29 de febrero- una mujer puede proponer matrimonio a su novio con la certeza de que no será rechazada. Sin embargo, durante el viaje, una circunstancia imprevista la obligará a pedir ayuda a un rudo mesonero irlandés con el que tendrá que caminar campo a través si quiere llegar a tiempo para hacer su propuesta de matrimonio.

There is a solution to ending the terror in Gaza. One solution. And this is it. Too many people think there is no solution to ending the Arab terror from Gaza. Too many people think that it is immoral for Israel to use too much force against the terrorists from Gaza to stop the rocket attacks that endanger all Israelis. These are the same people who supported the total capitulation to the Arab Muslim terrorists in Gaza back in 2005, that forcefully expelled 10,000 innocent Jews from their homes while destroying 21 Jewish communities, with the biggest percentage of agricultural exports from all of Israel. Plenty of people like myself protested against the immoral 2005 Gaza pullout, and warned that it would lead to a more dangerous reality. But we were labeled as “crazy” fearmongers. This is just another example of how the Western liberal mindset thinks “morality” yet supports immoral policies. Well, I had the pleasure of interviewing Martin Sherman, founder of the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies Studies, who recently wrote about this exact issue. You do not want to miss it.

In this day and age being politically correct is the political thing to do. It doesn't even matter if one believes in what they are saying, as long as they are politically correct, that's all that matters, and the media oftentimes is no exception. The Definitive Rap will unapologetically say what needs to be said, and our guests will say what needs to be said, whether it is politically correct or not, and that is one of the things that we stand for. Political correctness is a poor substitute for factual correctness. Similarly, good intentions are no guarantee of good policy. In the same way as the old proverb goes, 'the road to hell is sometimes paved with good intentions.' Acting in good faith is not always altruistic. Our guest, Dr. Martin Sherman, founder and CEO of the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, author, and served in operational capacities in the Israeli intelligence community and was also ministerial advisor to the Israeli government who has testified as an expert before the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) of US Congress, in a hearing on economic and security trends in the Middle East. He talks about Israeli Law Enforcement, and what the public has to worry about with regard to trust in the police and justice system. Dr. Sherman discusses the injustice of the attempt to prosecute Benjamin Netanyahu. He also talked about high level dignitaries that have been brought to Israel and benefitted diplomacy and pro-Israel advocacy. Dr. Sherman offered his opinion about President Biden's approach to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and Israel offering to serve as a go-between with Russia as the U.S. and Europe reinforce Ukraine's resistance against Putin's unprecedented assault, as well as how the invasion of Ukraine impacts Israel and the world.
