Jared Kushner is meeting Hamas directly, and the Gaza withdrawal deadlines he is carrying — thirty, sixty and ninety days — all land inside the Israeli campaign. Yonit and Jonathan read the timing as an unfriendly act rather than an accident, and ask what Donald Trump wants in return for the endorsement he keeps withholding. Also this week: the anti-Netanyahu bloc still cannot say who leads it, the IDF publishes its decisions in five Gaza cases, and the prime minister calls Britain an Islamic Republic on a podcast. Plus a Chutzpah award for an American broadcaster who has found proof of Israeli hostility to Christians in a mathematical symbol, and a Mensch of the Week who proves that sometimes even the most heartbreaking stories can have a happy ending.   00:00 Intro 04:04 68 days out: blocs, mergers and the electoral threshold 10:03 Eisenkot, Bennett and who leads the anti-Netanyahu bloc 14:32 Kushner meets Hamas and Washington's Gaza deadlines 19:59 The IDF's decisions in five Gaza cases 22:24 Huckabee on settler violence, Iran, and Trump on Oman 27:47 Coming up: Simon Sebag Montefiore on the Middle East 28:33 Netanyahu calls Britain an Islamic Republic 33:33 Central Synagogue and the cost to the diaspora 35:35 Chutzpah of the Week 38:56 Mensch of the Week

Acclaimed historian Simon Sebag Montefiore returns to Unholy to discuss his sweeping new book, The Cauldron: A History of the Middle East between 1900 and 2026. He tells Yonit and Jonathan that understanding the region today requires starting at the dawn of the 20th century — thanks to the long shadow still cast by the Ottoman Empire and its collapse. They talk of the often underestimated significance of Saudi Arabia, the convulsions that followed the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the extent to which Israel is - unexpectedly - a Middle Eastern state like any other.   ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:52 Why the book starts in 1900 02:49 Ibn Saud and the House of Saud 07:31 1979 and the Iranian revolution 09:55 The empire states, none of them Arab 13:13 Israel as a post-Ottoman state 18:22 Ben Gurion, Ataturk, Reza Shah 21:46 Middleness, pipelines and Haifa 26:35 The 1840 Damascus blood libel 30:02 Purity tests and historians' nerve 33:58 The King and Britain's minorities

Benjamin Netanyahu has said no to Donald Trump's 15-point Gaza plan, and the refusal is flat rather than fudged. In the West Bank, extremist settlers have besieged two Palestinian families in the village of Qusra, apparently hoping to take their homes. The IDF went in but came away with mission very much unaccomplished. With Yonit away, Jonathan is joined by Hadley Freeman, columnist for London's Sunday Times and author of the acclaimed memoir, House of Glass, for what is an Unholy first: two voices from the Jewish diaspora and no Israeli in the room. They talk through the week's news and reflect on what three years since October 7 has done to Jewish life outside Israel, why Israel-Palestine has become the litmus test of the American left and whether anybody speaks for the diaspora.   Plus: a Chutzpah nominee that reached a Belfast stage via Sweden, and a Mensch that arrives from Australia by way of Yiddish.   The Bashevis Singers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G531cgjplcM

On today's episode, we discuss solar power progress, controversial political headlines, and big predictions about how artificial intelligence could reshape the future. Glenn shares that his repaired solar system is now exporting electricity to the grid, producing about 34 kilowatt-hours while his household used roughly 7 to 10 kilowatt-hours in a day. The hosts also react to abortion-related legislation in Massachusetts, using sharp humor and personal anecdotes to express their opposition to late-term abortion. They debate a claim that AI-driven advances in medicine, nutrition, and agriculture could dramatically extend human life, with Dwayne arguing that technological progress may become nonlinear and James countering that people still need challenge and stress to thrive. Along the way, the group adds their usual banter about early bedtimes, daylight saving time, cloudy weather, and the promise—and potential disruption—of new technology. Don't miss it!

The hosts then recount a recent shooting-range outing, praising Glenn's ability to hit moving targets while James shares his own efforts to improve. Their conversation turns to firearm safety and power after a .357 Magnum damaged a target intended for smaller calibers, prompting discussion of the round's penetration and the importance of choosing appropriate equipment.

With Yonit away, Jonathan is joined by Anshel Pfeffer, Israel correspondent of the Economist, as they discuss the muted reaction to the announcement made by Donald Trump of what he hoped would be hailed as a breakthrough in Gaza. It turns out that most people in the region are waiting to see if Washington's hopes turn into anything more concrete.   Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu is setting about ensuring his political opponents are deemed too toxic to serve as partners in any coalition that would hope to replace him following the elections on October 27.   Plus: a new wine from very old grapes and an Irish plane that may have trouble in stormy weather.

On today's episode, we discuss the governor and federal primary races in Kansas and Michigan, and whether they reveal a potential implosion within the Democratic Party from the inside. James and Dwayne debate how close races in overwhelmingly conservative states, large Democratic-controlled cities, and questions about voter rolls contribute to deep skepticism about election integrity. They highlight specific figures such as Michigan candidates aligned with Democratic Socialists of America, compare them to other progressive politicians who appear to be moderating their public stances, and connect these trends to a broader concern about a growing communist movement in American politics. The conversation also touches on notable personalities like Carrie Lake and Dr. Anthony Fauci, suggesting that media suppression and mounting public criticism are reshaping the political landscape even beyond the ballot box. Throughout, the hosts blend analysis, cynicism, and humor as they explore whether the night's results will truly reflect the will of the voters. Don't miss it!

It's Christmas in August, y'all! Fantasia International Film Festival mercifully brings UNHOLY NIGHT to us, likely to get our minds off of this 100-degree (37-degree, for you Celsius-users) weather.At an Italian family's Christmas Eve dinner, festivities are interrupted when the grandmother, deceased for a few years, returns, with an undead look and feral rage. It's then up to the awkward 30-something Gino (Marc BenDavid) to muster up some cojones and save not only his family, but his ex-girlfriend Rene (Shailene Garnett), who lives next door and may be confronted by some other undead elders...The movie seems like it'll be a goofy, zombie-splaterring time and, in some ways, it is. But what I loved about Gabriele's screenplay and direction is how it uses the concept to pursue questions of familial expectations, managing a set of regrets, acquiring the bravery needed to stand up for oneself. It dips toes into multiple genres and tones, succeeding on all fronts.I talked with Gabriele about his movie's themes, the experience of designing a set with 3+ generations' worth of family history, the demanding camera work, and so much more.---More info on UNHOLY NIGHT's Fantasia premiere can be found here.Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tip jar!

Fresh off his tour of Israel and Europe, this week on Unholy Conversations, Yonit and Jonathan speak to Rahm Emanuel—former Chief of Staff, Congressman, Chicago Mayor, Ambassador to Japan and perhaps future presidential nominee. They dive into his recent charged conversation with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, his take on Israel's current choices, whether he considers himself a Zionist, and if he's any closer to making a decision on a presidential run.

A nuclear deal between Washington and Riyadh breaks overnight — and Israel learns the terms from the same press release as everyone else. This week, Yonit and Jonathan dig into what the US–Saudi agreement does and doesn't include, why the normalization clause that was supposed to be attached appeared to be missing - before it was hastily added by Donald Trump, after the event - and what a nuclear-armed Saudi Arabia might mean a generation from now. Iran tensions rise again over Natanz, and Israel's election pregame produces a poll number that should worry Benjamin Netanyahu more than it seems to. Plus: a Likud campaign ad triggers exactly the backlash its makers intended, while this week's Mensch award category hails both a Hungarian chess master and a legendary Israeli anchor.   Visit our new website: www.unholy-podcast.com

This week, Yonit and Jonathan sit down with three first-time voters — Aviv, Yael and Dror — to talk about the topics that will shape these election - the judicial overhaul, whether Arab parties belong in a coalition, and the draft bill. October 7th moved each of them, but not the same way — one drifted toward the center, another sharply to the right. What they do agree on might be the most interesting part. Plus: what happens to a generation that has only ever known one prime minister.

Matthew Chapters 5 -7 is often misunderstood or misapplied by the Christian reader. Grace and Justification are often put aside when wrapping our mind around Jesus' teaching on the holiness of God's law. This week we will look at the "beatitudes" and apply the correct theology to its high calling that ONLY Christ could fulfill. Watch Video Format: https://youtube.com/live/IQnazsreewA

On today's episode, we discuss a wide-ranging mix of personal stories, current events, and remarkable human achievements. The hosts open with light banter about summer heat and everyday routines, then move into a heartfelt reflection on a recent family funeral, highlighting the emotional impact of live music and shared memories. They later shift to law enforcement encounters and concealed carry experiences, using real anecdotes to explore how attitude and behavior can shape outcomes in tense situations. The conversation culminates in an enthusiastic look at the breaking of the once “impossible” four-minute mile, spotlighting Josh Kerr's astonishing 3:42 run and what it reveals about psychological barriers and human potential. The episode closes with an energetic shoutout to PJ's Coffee and an invitation for listeners to share feedback and ideas via email, underscoring the show's community-focused, conversational style.

On today's episode, we discuss how a small corner of rural Louisiana is rapidly becoming one of the most important hubs for AI, energy, and space-age infrastructure on the planet. The hosts open with Meta's Richland Parish data center, explaining how its budget has ballooned from roughly 27 to 50 billion dollars, its planned power demand has jumped toward 5 gigawatts with gas and possible small nuclear plants, and why that tax base could transform local schools, roads, and jobs. They then turn to Argentina's new “non-human corporations” law, exploring what it means to let AI-run companies sign contracts, own assets, and operate without human shareholders—and what legal chaos might follow when things go wrong. From there, the conversation moves through humanoid robots and Tesla's Optimus plants, vending-machine-style automated stores, Microsoft's massive AI-assisted security patching, and New York's decision to freeze new AI data center projects, arguing that places that embrace automation and high-density compute will pull ahead economically. The episode closes with a look at SpaceX's “lucky 13” Starship launch, upgraded Starlink satellites, and flock cameras and genetic surveillance, tying together the promises and risks of a world where AI systems watch, decide, and increasingly own the infrastructure that shapes everyday life.

The US-Iran war is back on. The ceasefire has collapsed, the naval blockade is reimposed, and Israel is asking if a moment is coming when the missiles turn its way. With Yonit away, Jonathan is joined by New Yorker writer Ruth Margalit to make sense of a dizzying week: a jaw-dropping report that the Mossad cultivated Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — yes, that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — as an asset in a failed plot to topple the Iranian regime, and an election campaign in which Gadi Eisenkot is opening up a real lead over Benjamin Netanyahu. Can Mr. Security survive a race where even Likud voters might be drifting away?

Jonathan is a Guardian columnist, host of Politics Weekly America, and co-host of Unholy, the podcast covering Israel and the Middle East.

On today's episode, we discuss how recent political developments, national security scares, and even wildlife encounters reveal the tension between danger, spin, and common sense in American life. The hosts break down Lindsey Graham's legacy, Mitch McConnell's mysterious health situation and succession timeline, and what those shifts could mean for control of the Senate and Trump's immigration agenda. They dive into rumors that a newly refitted Qatari “Air Force One” may have been compromised, exploring theories about supply-chain sabotage, CIA signals, and why Trump abruptly chose to fly home on the older presidential jet instead. The conversation then ranges from birthright citizenship and fears of foreign influence in U.S. elections to Trump's push to “remove pinch points” in oil and rare earth minerals by reshaping global alliances and trade. Along the way, they mix in lighter but vivid stories—like a Yellowstone bison launching an overconfident tourist into the air and family time shooting shotguns at “Paradise”—as reminders of how quickly overconfidence, whether with politics, planes, or buffalo, can get people hurt.

Donald Trump declares the Iran ceasefire dead, while a new poll has alarming news for Benjamin Netanyahu: New York's trenchantly anti-Israel mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is more popular with American Jews than he is.   This week, Yonit and Jonathan break down the collapse of the fragile Iran deal and why "amateur hour" US negotiators may have doomed it from the start. They unpack the Knesset's last-minute push to exempt the ultra-Orthodox from military service — as soldiers testify in tears about the price of a three-year war — as well as the less noisy bills eroding Israel's judicial independence. Plus: Rahm Emanuel's blunt warning about Israel's "content problem," and the wedding of two returned hostages that gave the week its one unambiguously happy ending.

When considering if a breakaway is appropriate or not, one could look at the story of b'nei Reuven v'Gad for a historical lesson.

Throughout history, reports of psychic phenomena, spirit communication, and unexplained experiences have fascinated believers and skeptics alike.In this episode, Doug Owen welcomes Empress Amy Sparkle, a clairvoyant and psychic medium, for an in-depth discussion on spirit communication, intuitive abilities, mediumship, energy work, and the experiences that shaped her spiritual journey.Drawing from her years of experience, Amy shares her perspectives on connecting with spirit, developing psychic awareness, interpreting signs from beyond, and the mysteries that continue to challenge our understanding of the unseen world.Topics DiscussedClairvoyancePsychic MediumshipSpirit CommunicationIntuitionEnergy WorkPsychic DevelopmentSigns From BeyondThe AfterlifeSpiritual AwarenessMediumship ExperiencesParanormal EncountersSpiritual GrowthConnecting With SpiritUnexplained PhenomenaLife Beyond DeathPsychic ExperiencesSpiritual HealingThe Unseen WorldParanormal ResearchPersonal ExperiencesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-uk-radio-network--4541473/support.

A thousand days after October 7th — and Benjamin Netanyahu wants to talk about unity. This week, as Israel edges closer toward elections, Yonit and Jonathan discuss a prime minister campaigning on togetherness after- say his critics- a long career spent dividing Israelis against each other, and trace the strange alliance between Israel's nationalist right and the ultra-Orthodox parties who for the most part reject Zionism on principle.   Zohran Mamdani keeps doubling down on Israel and AIPAC, six months into his mayoralty — and sees no reason to slow down. And as America turns 250, Jonathan asks an uncomfortable question about what happens to a constitution when the people meant to enforce it simply don't.   Plus: our Chutzpah award goes to a finance minister taking credit for something he objected to while our Mensch of the week pulls off an unexpected feat of German diplomacy - and language.

On today's episode, we discuss how government secrecy, popular culture, and UFO disclosures intertwine to shape modern conspiracy thinking. Charlotte and the crew start with a humorous takedown of “stinky hippies,” then pivot to Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump's warnings about communism, cultural decay, and the manipulation of public spaces and values. From there, they dive into recent “big dumps” of classified UFO documents, speculating on whether these releases genuinely inform the public or conveniently distract from scandals like Epstein or past wars. The discussion highlights reports of unexplained NASA astronaut sightings, shifting commentary from figures like Neil deGrasse Tyson, and theories about CIA influence over science communication. The episode closes by examining claims from alleged crash-retrieval operatives and questioning how much of the official narrative around UFOs, war, and technology the public should really trust.

Move over, Bridezillas — here come the "Cover Charge Brides." Some couples are charging guests anywhere from $10 to $1,000 or more just to attend their weddings! Unlike destination weddings, where guests may be expected to cover travel and lodging costs, these fees are simply for admission to the big day itself. Traditional wedding etiquette says the hosts pay for the wedding — not the guests. How would you react to a wedding cover charge?

Israel just learned that the US and Iran have agreed to a deconfliction cell with Lebanon — and Israel wasn't in the room. As the dust settles on a war whose outcome is, at best, ambiguous, Yonit and Jonathan sit down with former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who wants his old job back. Bennett doesn't hold back: on why he believes this government dragged out a war Israel was never built to fight, on the "infinite power of propaganda" keeping Netanyahu afloat three years after October 7th, and on whether he can trust Trump — or JD Vance — to look out for Israel's interests when Israel isn't at the table. He also lays out, in detail, what he'd do differently on the Haredi draft, the judiciary, the Palestinians, and Ben Gvir and Smotrich — and admits the polls aren't moving the way he hoped.   00:00 Introduction: Naftali Bennett joins Unholy 00:09 The Iran deal and the deconfliction cell with Lebanon 03:18 Would he have avoided this war altogether? 06:29 Did Netanyahu prolong the war for political reasons? 08:05 Trust in Trump and JD Vance on Iran 13:11 Reports the Trump administration is opening channels to him 15:19 What would actually change if Bennett became PM? 17:39 The Kogat story: improving Palestinian quality of life without a state 21:51 Pushback: is a two-state "spectrum" really viable? 24:06 Why he opposes full Palestinian sovereignty 24:39 Mansour Abbas and Arab parties in a Bennett coalition 26:52 Lapid, the polls, and stepping aside for Eisenkot 29:34 Judicial reform: would he continue where this government left off? 31:26 Why Ben Gvir and Smotrich are out 33:51 Fears of a "January 6th" scenario in Israel 36:16 Was joining forces with Lapid a mistake? 39:21 Did Bennett change, or did Israel change? 42:05 The story that brought him back: a scientist in tears 44:43 How is Netanyahu still in this race?

As the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding is signed in Versailles — covering a ceasefire, sanctions relief, and billions in unfrozen assets, but saying nothing about uranium enrichment, centrifuges, ballistic missiles, or Iran's proxies — Israel is left reading a deal it wasn't part of and only received hours before Trump's signature. Yonit is joined this week by CNN senior global affairs analyst and Unholy co-author Bianna Golodryga, live from a New York celebrating the Knicks' first championship in 53 years, for a conversation about what this MOU actually says, what it doesn't, and what it means for a country that spent 40 days in shelters waiting for something better than this. Plus: a Cornell sophomore makes headlines for the wrong reasons, and a design school in Israel sends wounded soldiers down a runway.   02:09 Responses to the MOU in Israel and the U.S. 06:59 Concerns from Israel Regarding the MOU 11:20 Netanyahu's Position and Reactions 17:24 Implications for U.S.-Israel Relations and Regional Dynamics 24:42 The Political Landscape of the Iran Deal 27:08 Consequences of the Ceasefire and Future Implications 28:56 Comparing Past and Present Iran Agreements 31:03 Economic Reactions and Military Posturing 32:49 The Changing Dynamics of U.S.-Israel Relations 35:28 Chutzpah: Cornell Sophomore Austin Franco 37:30 Mensch: Shenkar College Designs for Wounded Soldiers

Thank you to Kimberly for the request. Creve Coeur, Missouri, is known for its affluent, charmed lifestyle. It's a kind of safe, quiet suburb where nothing bad ever happens. But in French, Creve Coeur translates to “broken heart,” and thirty-five years ago, that translation became a brutal reality for the family of Elizabeth Mackintosh. Elizabeth was a brilliant, fiercely independent, and strong-willed 50-year-old nurse from the Scottish Highlands who moved across the world to attend the prestigious Covenant Theological Seminary. She was just weeks away from graduation when her life was violently cut short. On Monday, March 26, 1990, Elizabeth unlocked the campus chapel at 4:00 AM for her routine cleaning shift. By 7:20 AM, she was found dead inside a restroom. The brutality of the attack shocked the community and baffled investigators. Join Jen and Cam as they discuss "An Unholy Act: Elizabeth Mackintosh."

This week's Unholy conversations is a rare interview with Nir Bar Dea, CEO of Bridgewater—the world's largest hedge fund. Bar Dea moves beyond market trends, framing our current moment as a volatile collision between a changing world order, and an unprecedented technological revolution fueled by AI. He offers a sobering perspective on why the comfort of the last several decades has perhaps left us less resilient than the generations before us, urging listeners to view history not as destiny, but as a lesson in the necessity of strength during turbulent times. The conversation turns personal, too: Bar Dea talks about the toll of his own service in the Israeli Air Force, what it's like being Israeli in New York since October 7th, and why he  believes Israel's younger generation might be its greatest asset. 00:00 Intro 01:10 The Iran-US deal and why timing doesn't matter 06:25 Trump as outcome, not cause 09:30 Tough love: why we feel overwhelmed 10:59 Israel's resilient next generation 24:49 The AI infrastructure race — and Israel's gap 27:11 Being Israeli in New York since October 7th 32:54 The hidden cost of IDF service 35:02 Bridgewater's radical transparency culture 41:51 Rebuilding from Nir Oz — a story of hope   Watch us on YouTube:  Follow Unholy and learn more about the pod: https://unholy-podcast.lovable.app/ Join our Patreon community to get access to bonus episodes, discounts on merch and more: https://bit.ly/UnholyPatreon   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's True Weird Stuff - Revisiting Unholy City: The Cult Leader Who Built His Own Town   His followers called him a prophet. Everyone else called him dangerous. In the hills of California, cult leader William E. Riker built a community known as Holy City...a town founded on racial segregation, strict control, and his own twisted interpretation of Christianity. What began as a religious movement grew into one of the strangest cult compounds in American history.
