(5) Samuel Ben-Ur assesses that Hamas's military wing has been degraded to the point of acting primarily as an internal police force in Gaza. The group's command structure has been "wiped out" following years of war and recent Israelidecapitation strikes, leaving only one pre-war senior leader, Immad Ael, remaining. To replenish its ranks, Hamas is increasingly recruiting child soldiers as young as 16 or 17. Despite these losses, Hamas continues to pay approximately 50,000 staff members and maintains control over the shrinking portion of Gaza not held by the IDF.1938 RAMALLAH

There was the “joke” a senior Toronto Police officer made one day to then One Homicide Chief, Hank Idsinga. You know, the one about a kosher bbq being a “Jew-Q.” As in, thinking that the idea of burning Jews during the Holocaust in Europe - was funny. The jokester told Idsinga it was really funny. And that was when Hank Idsinga began to see the deep antisemitism among police leadership, and others. And there was more. Much more.Idsinga's recently published book: “The High Road: Confessions of a Homicide Cop”, was released in early May and is prompting discussion about the conduct of the Toronto Police Force, particularly since October 7. Toronto has become a dangerous city for Jews to live in. Hostility toward Jewish people is overt, everywhere and inescapable. It was clear from October 7 that something was very wrong with how Toronto police were dealing with the outburst of Jew-hatred. The antisemites were given free rein. Police spoke about constitutional rights and other high-minded issues, which actually had nothing to do with the illegal conduct proliferating on Toronto streets. In fact, the cops protected the “protesters”, insisting they were not breaking laws and that their conduct was “peaceful.” Well, they were breaking many laws, and their conduct was anything but peaceful. Almost three years later, Toronto is unrecognizable and considered to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world in which to live today, as a Jew. This podcast episode is a touch longer than our usual, because there is so much important information to be shared.We focus on Hank Idsinga, his personal story and how that influenced his career, particularly in the later years. And we get into the way in which Toronto Police have handled overt and often violent antisemitism since October 7. Their conduct is indefensible. Inexplicable. And I have been writing and podcasting about this tirelessly. Only now, as attacks on Jews have become more frequent and violent - attracting international attention - has the Toronto Police Service even acknowledged that there may be, you know, a problem.I have provided time stamps for three sections of the podcast, so you can jump around or skip. But I urge you to listen to them all. They build on and reinforce one another. And the story of what is going down in Toronto is just one extreme example of what we are seeing in many cities around the world. This will not just “go away”.Thanks to Andrea Marcus, a friend, proud lifelong Torontonian, brilliant artist, and sponsor of this episode of State of Tel Aviv and Beyond. Like so many Canadians, Andrea is devastated by what has happened to Canada and Toronto, particularly in recent years. They are unrecognizable.

Having served as Detective Sergeant and, later, Inspector in charge of Toronto's Homicide Squad, he has policed just about every kind of case you can imagine, and has stared down some of the hardest criminals the city has ever seen. Idsinga has received numerous awards from the Ontario Homicide Investigator's Association, and has twice been recognized by Toronto Life magazine as one of Toronto's 50 Most Influential People. Additionally, he is a regular presenter at policing conferences, including the FBI National Academy Associates Conference and the Ontario Homicide Investigators Conference, among others. Recently retired and now a crime commentary fixture on the Corus radio network (nationally) and Global Television, as well as American crime series in production, Idsinga speaks widely about policing in the wake of a highly decorated career.From decorated homicide detective Hank Idsinga comes The High Road—a raw, riveting true crime memoir from the man who helped take down one of Canada's most notorious serial killers.Hank Idsinga knew from the age of ten that he wanted to solve murders—especially after learning his grandfather had been executed by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Over a thirty-year career with Toronto Police Services, Idsinga rose through the ranks to lead the country's top homicide unit. From street crime to serial killers, he saw it all—and now, for the first time, he tells the story in his own voice.Written in a hard-boiled but deeply human tone, The High Road chronicles the highs and horrors of life on the homicide beat. Idsinga recounts some of Toronto's most gripping cases that caught the attention of the nation, including the Boxing Day shooting of Jane Creba, the Yonge Street shootouts, and—most infamously—the Bruce McArthur serial killer investigation. With equal parts warmth, candor, and gravity, he offers rare insight into how detectives do their work, how justice is served, and how the toll of the job is carried quietly and constantly.Far from glorifying violence, Idsinga focuses on the people at the heart of each case: the victims, the families, and the fellow officers who became like family over decades of service. Many of those families remain in touch with him today, a testament to his character and compassion.With the rise of true crime podcasts and docuseries, audiences are hungry for authentic, unfiltered voices—and The High Road delivers. This isn't just a book about catching killers. It's about the moral weight of justice, the value of empathy, and the complicated humanity on both sides of the badge.Podcast NotesIn the podcast I refer often to how entrenched antisemitism is in Canada and how obvious that has become since October 7. Below are links to two articles published in Toronto media regarding Idsinga's allegations regarding antisemitism on the police force.Following are links to podcasts and written articles by me, on the State of Tel Aviv website and in other publications. This is just a sampling of the work I have done on antisemitism in Canada, focusing on Toronto, since October 7. And there's much more. State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Jimmy Blair's path to the insurance industry is truly one of a kind. Before selling commercial insurance, Jimmy spent nearly a decade as a police officer in Tempe, Arizona, navigating the chaos of the Mill Avenue beat during the unrest of 2020.My guest, Jimmy Blair, Commercial Insurance Advisor at the Mahoney Group, joins me to share his incredible journey from chasing bad guys to protecting multifamily real estate portfolios. We discuss the "hopelessness" that led him to leave the force, why his first attempt at selling insurance ended with him going back to a patrol car, and the grueling 100-hour workweeks he endured to successfully transition into the industry on his second try. We also break down how the communication skills and empathy required to manage a crisis on the street translate perfectly into being an elite commercial risk advisor.

What is with the stereotype of the Irish Cop? I have seen this in fiction, when I was young it seemed like half of fictional law enforcement were Irish. In the real world Irish culture has a strong present in the culture of modern day policing. Where did it come from? This week's dive into cultural history is a story of immigration, discrimination, brutal capatilism leading to mass corruption, and how an immigrant group can be pressured into infighting with other immigrants. For Patrons of the show (who get the second half) there is also a touching story of modern Irish advocacy and referrals to Irish American Groups advancing rights of immigrants today.

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. Archaeology reporter Rossella Tercatin and diplomatic reporter Nava Freiberg join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. If Iran attacks Israel, it will be “perhaps the most serious mistake in their history,” warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday evening, threatening an overwhelming response to any aggression. As the world awaits US President Donald Trump's State of the Union address tonight, Freiberg updates us with the push-pull diplomacy of the past day. The Palestinian technocratic body tasked with managing postwar Gaza announced last week that it was opening applications for “qualified candidates” seeking to serve in a “transitional police force” to be deployed in the Strip. This comes as Hamas appears poised to keep hold of its control of civilian and security infrastructure even as the Trump peace plan moves ahead. The Great Isaiah Scroll, the oldest nearly complete book from the Hebrew Bible ever found, is on display in its full length for the first time since 1968. Tercatin was on hand at Jerusalem's Israel Museum for the unveiling and fills us in. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

[17:45] Host Micah Loewinger talks with Radley Balko, author of The Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces, about similarities between the conditions that led to the Boston Massacre in 1770 and what we're seeing today in Minneapolis and other cities targeted by ICE operations today.[31:43] Brooke sits down with Eliot Higgins, the founder of Bellingcat, to discuss his framework for the essential functions of democracy— verification, deliberation, and accountability—which have broken down into hollow performances or simulations in the United States today.

As immigration raids continue across the US - specifically in Minnesota where thousands of protesters are taking to the streets denouncing ICE following the shooting death of Renee Good - political polarization couldn't be more rampant.Earlier this week, the US Department of Justice subpoenaed at least five Minnesota officials for their alleged involvement in obstructing ICE officers from doing their jobs. It falls against the backdrop of US President Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Jeanne Meserve, journalist and international security analyst to discuss the transformation of immigration enforcement under Trump's second term, and how Americans are reacting to this deepening domestic policy crisis within their country.

I Built My Recovery Like an Investigation - with Craig Semple Craig Semple served 25 years as a detective in the New South Wales, Australia Police Force—homicides, drug squads, outlaw motorcycle gangs, the kind of work that runs on adrenaline and silence. But behind the scenes, PTSD and burnout were stacking up: sleepless nights, heavy drinking, and a culture that treated suffering like weakness. After being medically retired, Craig entered a dark three-year spiral that culminated in a suicide attempt—then made a decision that changed everything: he built a recovery plan the way he used to run investigations. In this episode, Craig and Conrad unpack what first responders miss most—identity loss, the “helper who won't ask for help,” the family as the canary in the coal mine, and the everyday practices that keep you well enough to finish strong. ABOUT CRAIG SEMPLE Craig Semple was a career Detective within the NSW Police Force for 25 years. Much of Craig's career was invested in `high risk' law enforcement including drug investigation, the investigation of outlaw motorcycle gangs and homicides. The environment within which Craig led professional people for much of his career was one that exposed employees to high levels of stress, high workloads, occupational burnout, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. As a leader he developed a clear and practical understanding of workplace mental health and its relevance to workplace health and safety, occupational health and safety legislation, productivity, personal wellbeing and resilience. Craig's retirement from the Police Force was as a result of his own personal battle with workplace Psychological Injury. From that `lived experience' he has developed a rare personal insight into the causes, symptoms, treatment, recovery strategies and the impact of mental illness in the workplace.

Welcome back to Lawyer Talk! On this special edition episode, hosts Steve Palmer and law student Troy Henricksen tackle the breaking and deeply tragic shooting involving an ICE officer in Minnesota.With raw emotion running high and the social media machine already passing judgment, Steve Palmer and Troy Henricksen set out to strip away the noise and confusion, providing a clear analysis of what actually happens legally after a police shooting like this.They look into the critical difference between how the law treats deadly force by a civilian versus a police officer, walking through self-defense standards, justification defenses, and landmark Supreme Court rulings like Graham v. Connor.You'll hear them debate both sides, untangle the legal elements involved, and explore what it means when state and federal authorities disagree on prosecuting an ICE agent.Most importantly, they break it all down without the politics—just the facts, legal standards, and framework you need to better understand the chaos and complexity when headlines erupt after a law enforcement shooting.As always, they're here not to take sides, but to help you make sense of the process.Moments00:00 "Civilian Self-Defense Legal Analysis"03:44 "Ohio Self-Defense Laws Explained"07:08 Self-Defense or Fault?10:47 "Understanding Real-Time Defendant Perspective"13:00 "Justification Defense in Murder Case"16:18 "Reasonableness of Police Force"19:52 The Dangers of Police Chases24:05 "Debating Crime Severity in Law"28:29 "Justified Force and Legal Debate"29:58 "Dual Sovereignty and Prosecution"35:23 "Analytical Framework for Complex Decisions"Key Takeaways:Legal Standards Are Crucial: Emotional reactions are expected, but the real decisions will follow established legal standards. The actions of law enforcement are viewed under a different framework than those of civilians, making the analysis more nuanced than social media quick takes might suggest.Objective Reasonableness Is the Benchmark: In police shooting cases, courts rely on the "objective reasonableness" standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court (Graham v. Connor). This means the officer's actions are judged by what a reasonable officer would do under tense, split-second circumstances—not perfect hindsight.Jurisdictional Complexities Can Shape Outcomes: Even if the federal government decides not to charge the officer, Minnesota authorities might still pursue prosecution. However, immunity issues and federal supremacy mean any state-level charges could lead to complicated federal-court battles over whether the officer was acting within the scope of federal duties.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

The Deception Regarding Afghan Troop Strength: Colleagues Jerry Dunleavy and James Hasson detail how the administration misled the public with inflated Afghan troop numbers, hiding the reality of "ghost units" and police forces, adding that removing essential contractors guaranteed the military's failure, yet officials maintained optimistic rhetoric that trapped American citizens and allies behind Taliban lines. 1919 KABUL BOMBED

Rooted in Romans 13, we explore where God's justice and its “avengers” meet His grace.
Whether you agree or disagree, there's a lot to unpack and discuss about your rights—and the realities—during a traffic stop. Let's get into it.I sit down with law student Troy Hendrickson to tackle a question I've noticed popping up everywhere on social media: Do you really have to get out of your car when the police tell you to? After watching numerous viral videos of people refusing officers' orders during traffic stops, I decided it was time to demystify the legal history behind this scenario—especially the Supreme Court case Pennsylvania v. Mimms.I explain why, yes, you do have to follow police instructions in these situations (even if you disagree), and why the courtroom—not the side of the road—is where you should fight any questionable police conduct. Along the way, Troy and I explore the wider issues: officer safety, misunderstandings about the law, and the rise of misinformation online. Here are 3 key takeaways you should know:You must comply if ordered out of your vehicle. Thanks to the Supreme Court decision in Pennsylvania v. Mims (1977), police can lawfully order you out of your car during a stop, even for minor violations.The fight happens in court—not on the roadside. Challenging a police order (even if you think it's unfair or unlawful) on the street will result in arrest or worse. “You're going to lose that fight…and a window.”Understanding why is crucial. These rules are based on “officer safety” and the structure of the rule of law. If you think your rights were violated, work with an attorney after the fact.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Should Peachtree Corners Form Its Own Police Department? Join host Rico Figliolini and City Manager Brian Johnson as they discuss the community's big debate: whether Peachtree Corners should establish its own police force. From budget breakdowns and crime data to resident concerns and next steps, this is a conversation every local should hear. Watch, comment, and share your thoughts. This live simulcast stream was previously recorded.Five Podcast Takeaways (Revised)Local control & service levels: Brian explains that a city-run department could keep officers dedicated inside Peachtree Corners—improving presence, familiarity, and response times—because they wouldn't be pulled to countywide calls.Budget reality, not a shock: Peachtree Corners currently generates about $11M toward policing via the county; a right-sized city department is estimated at ~$12.2M, leaving roughly a $1.2M gap that could mean about $70/year for a median ~$400k home—if the city covered it purely via millage (other offsets could reduce that).Specialized units won't vanish: Critical teams like SWAT/bomb disposal would still respond through interagency frameworks; other needs (e.g., ballistics) could be handled via GBI or paid partnerships. The emphasis is on matching resources to how often the city actually needs them.Modern policing toolbox: The conversation highlights tech-forward tactics—crime center in the cloud, LPRs/cameras, and drones—as force multipliers to investigate efficiently, deter repeat offenders, and avoid risky pursuits.People strategy matters: A smaller agency (projected ~52 officers vs. Gwinnett's ~936 authorized) can compete for talent with targeted incentives—take-home vehicles, advanced training, slightly higher pay, and even housing set-asides marketed to first responders. Next steps include a professionally administered survey and neighborhood-level meetings; only if warranted would the topic be brought before city council for consideration.Timestamp:(00:00:00) Introductions and context on the recent public meeting.(00:01:18) Community reaction and the range of opinions voiced.(00:09:35) Understanding the millage rate and how city funding would work.(00:15:15) Recent crime incidents and concerns about safety.(00:17:56) Community feedback and key takeaways from the meeting.(00:21:32) Access to specialized units like SWAT and how those services would continue.(00:24:33) Population growth and hiring strategies for a city police force.(00:28:12) Technology and modern policing tools proposed for the city.(00:32:10) Next steps: professional survey, targeted community meetings, and timeline for decision-making.(00:37:54) Final thoughts and upcoming election context.

Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — A group of Democratic governors is criticizing the Trump administration's efforts to deploy National Guard troops in major cities. In a joint statement Thursday, 19 governors called the efforts an alarming abuse of power. They claim Trump has cut funding for law enforcement and undermined the authority of governors over their states' National Guards. Two --- Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook is filing a lawsuit after President Trump's attempt to fire her. The suit is the start of a legal battle between the two sides that will likely end up in front of the Supreme Court. It follows a Justice Department criminal investigation into the board governor after she was accused of making false statements on home mortgage applications. And number three --- Today marks 20 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. It was one of the costliest and deadliest storms ever to strike the United States. Katrina was responsible for nearly 1,400 deaths and caused $125 billion in damage. Two days after landfall, more than 80% of New Orleans was flooded due to levee failures.
ICE now has the biggest budget of any law enforcement agency in America.“ICE and Customs and Border Protection have long been the most rogue, kind of renegade and certainly pro-Trump police agencies in the federal government,” explained Radley Balko, a journalist who's covered policing for decades. “What I think we are seeing right now is Trump is attempting to build his own paramilitary force. They want people whose first, ultimate loyalty in this job is going to be to the president.”Balko is the author of “Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces.” And he's been tracking the changes at ICE and the Trump administration's escalating law-and-order tactics on his excellent newsletter, The Watch.Mentioned:“ICE's Mind-Bogglingly Massive Blank Check” by Caitlin Dickerson“The police militarization debate is over” by Radley BalkoBook Recommendations:The Highest Law in the Land by Jessica PishkoUnruly by David MitchellBottoms Up and the Devil Laughs by Kerry HowleyThoughts?

A federal takeover in D.C. as the President moves to take control of the city's police force, with the plan to send in hundreds of national guard troops to fight crime. A federal judge rejected the government's request to unseal Grand Jury records in the criminal case of Ghislaine Maxwell, writing that the request could be seen as an illusion of transparency instead of actual transparency.

On this episode of the podcast, Sheriff Mark Lamb discussed President Trump's proposal to federalize DC's police department, emphasizing the need for law and order. He agreed with Trump's analogy comparing D.C.'s cleanliness to a restaurant's, highlighting the importance of maintaining order in the capital. Lamb noted the DC Metro PD's endorsement of federalization due to resource constraints. He explained the President's authority under Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to federalize D.C.'s police for up to 48 hours without congressional approval.The 24th Sheriff of Pinal County flirts with the idea of running for Arizona's 5th Congressional District being vacated by longtime Congressman Andy Biggs. He also took time to discuss his new organization “Ten-7 Consulting,” which helps law enforcement and veterans transition to entrepreneurship, addressing their risk-averse nature and providing business guidance.
