In this explosive episode of Soar Financially, Kai Hoffmann welcomes back geopolitical expert Alex Krainer to unpack the rising risks in the Middle East, the Pentagon's fear of high U.S. casualties if war with Iran breaks out, the sabotage inside U.S. Navy deployments, and why Iran's military alliances with China and Russia have changed the balance of power.#iran #Trump #Gold ---------------------

In this powerful episode of Habibi House, we sit down with activist and filmmaker Charles McBryde to unpack the deeper meaning of happiness, community, and the price we pay for both. The conversation then pivots to Charles' urgent documentary work in Palestine, focusing on the unprecedented targeting of UNRWA, the United Nations agency responsible for aiding 5.9 million Palestinian refugees. He breaks down Israel's recent moves to label the organization a terrorist entity, the geopolitical implications of defunding UNRWA, and what this means for the future of Palestinian life, memory, and rights in the region. Charles gives us a behind-the-scenes look at his upcoming film, its funding goals, and the challenges of documenting this critical moment in history. From East Jerusalem to refugee camps in Lebanon, this episode sheds light on the stakes, the stories, and the fight to preserve truth.

Brigadier General Jacob Nagel was at the center of Israel's most critical military and technological decisions—from the creation of the Iron Dome to the classified plans behind the Stuxnet cyberattack that weakened Iran's nuclear program. In this powerful and urgent conversation, Dr. Bob goes deep with General Nagel about how Hamas evaded Israel's high-tech surveillance on October 7th, what went wrong with deterrence, and how Israel is shifting its defense doctrine from containment to preemptive strike.Tune in for these topics:

What's really happening in Gaza, Ukraine, and beyond? In this explosive episode of Life Lessons with Dr. Bob, British Colonel Richard Kemp delivers an unflinching, insider's breakdown of the most dangerous conflicts on Earth. From firsthand accounts inside Gaza with the IDF, to frontlines in Ukraine, to the unraveling of Syria and the rise of global terror networks — Colonel Kemp brings the truth about all of the Global Wars and Hotspots.  This is not just about Israel or Ukraine. This is about the future of Western civilization.

Israel is exhausted.  The war has stretched on for 15 months.  The weight of it - physically, emotionally, spiritually - is crushing. And yet, as the world watches, the narratives surrounding Israel are being twisted beyond recognition.  Lies, conspiracies, and political maneuvers flood the headlines, and the church is left asking:  What is actually happening? In this episode, we sit down with Moshe Sigulim - an Israeli with deep personal ties to the military, the land, and the people of Israel.  He's lived through war.  He's lost friends.  He's seen firsthand what's at stake.  And he's here to cut through the noise. We're talking about the spiritual and political storm surrounding Israel, the unsettling rise of global anti-Semitism, and why the world is obsessed with placing Israel at the center of every conflict.  But more than that, we're wrestling with prophecy, the longing for peace, and the hard truth that Israel is searching for a savior - just not the Savior. If you care about Israel, if you want to see through the media fog, if you want to understand what the Bible actually says about the days we're living in - this episode is a must-listen. Because what's happening in Israel isn't just political.  It's spiritual.  And it's unfolding right before our eyes. Key Takeaways The real situation on the ground in Israel - and why the media gets it wrong. Why Israel is desperate for peace, and how that desperation sets the stage for dangerous compromises. The disturbing global shift toward anti-Zionism and why it matters to the church. How Israel's spiritual hunger is growing - but not yet for Yeshua. The role of prophecy in today's events and how the Bible has already laid this out. What Christians must understand about standing with Israel in these days.

In this lecture, Don Carson teaches mainly from Ezekiel 16, which describes Jerusalem's spiritual adultery and compares the city to an ungrateful prostitute who turns to infidelity. Carson also points to Israel's rebellion in forming a political alliance with Egypt. He explains that, despite the severe punishment described, God promised eventual restoration through an everlasting covenant when Jerusalem would repent and experience God's faithfulness.He teaches the following:Why Israel is compared to a “useless vine” and how it connects to the Bible's larger metanarrativeAbsolutizing any one form of God's love results in absurd theologyHow political alliances contributed to Israel's downfallGod remembered Jerusalem and established an everlasting covenant with herThe new covenant would bring atonement for Jerusalem's sinHow the metaphor of marriage and apostasy is used to illustrate the severity of Israel's rebellionThe importance of fidelity and the consequences of betrayal in both human and divine relationshipsThe imagery of marriage and atonement conveys God's enduring love for his peopleHelp The Gospel Coalition build up a renewed church for tomorrow.

On today's show (recorded at my guest's own home in Jerusalem) I'm chatting with Israel (aka “Yisrael”) Kroizer, the Co-Founder and CTO of SolarGik - a company he founded in 2021 with a team of long-time solar energy veterans, including his son. It is hard to overstate the importance of Yisrael Kroizer in the world of solar energy. In 1980, and at the age of only 27, he was appointed Chief Engineer of the Israeli company Luz, which built the world's first solar power plant in California and proved that it was technically and economically possible. At the age of 34, he was CEO of the company, which employed 500 people in Israel. In 1991 Luz went bankrupt, according to Kroizer, "because the solar energy market disappeared." Indeed, at that time oil prices in the world dropped and solar energy production became unprofitable. "I fired 400 people from Luz in Israel, but they all remained my friends and they were all ready to come back when we started over with BrightSource.” After Luz, when solar technology turned from a means of producing relatively cheap electricity to a way to save the world, he led one of the main technologies that competed for its production - the solar towers. He did this through Brightsource Industries Israel - a company he founded and served as President of from 2006 to 2021. Today, the SolarGik company he founded with his son is engaged in the development and refinement of photovoltaic technology - which tracks sunlight and converts it directly into electricity. This episode is brought to you from Jerusalem - one of my favourite cities! Thank you for listening.

Dr. Einat Wilf is a leading intellectual and original thinker on matters of foreign policy, economics, education, Israel, and the Jewish people. She was a member of the Israeli Parliament from 2010-2013 on behalf of the Labor and Independence parties. Dr. Wilf has a BA in Government and Fine Arts from Harvard University, an MBA from INSEAD in France (Institut Européen d'Administration des Affaires), and a PhD in Political Science from the University of Cambridge. Born and raised in Israel, Dr. Wilf served as an Intelligence Officer in the Israel Defense Forces. Dr. Wilf is also the author of six books including: My Israel, Our Generation, Back to Basics: How to Save Israeli Education (At No Additional Cost), It's NOT the Electoral System, Stupid, Winning the War of Words, Telling Our Story (a collection of Wilf's essays on Israel, Zionism and the path to peace,) and The War of Return: How Western Indulgence of the Palestinian Dream Has Obstructed the Path to Peace. Shermer and Wilf discuss: Why Israel? Why the Jews? Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism • Karim Khan • accusations of genocide, induced famine, and war crimes against Netanyahu • who will recognize a Palestinian state? • why, after 7 months of fighting, the IDF has been unable to defeat Hamas • AP story outlining 4 options for Gaza: full scale military occupation; lighter occupation; grand bargain; a deal with Hamas • Zionism, Judaism, and Israel • Palestine, Palestinians, and the Gaza strip • Hamas, Hezbollah, and terrorism in the Middle East • Why students & student groups are pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel • The Abraham Accords • The Two-State Solution.

Do most Palestinians want their own state in the West Bank and Gaza, one that co-exists with the state of Israel? Is the conflict between Israel and Palestinians primarily about territory and the solution therefore simply to trade territory for peace?For many years, as an advisor to Israel's top leaders and member of its parliament, Einat Wilf thought so. Then she started to listen deeply to what Palestinians were saying, and what she heard stunned her. What Palestinians wanted was a land to themselves so they could return to the homes their families once occupied in Israel proper. What they didn't want was a Jewish state.This discovery, coupled with extensive research into the century-long history, left Einat with a dramatically different view of the conflict. Palestinians' dream of "return" and the world's support for this dream constituted as big an obstacle to peace as Israeli settlements in the West Bank.Engaging with this possibility may be painful, but it opens new possibilities for long-term peace in the region. If Israel and the United states take Einat's story seriously, they will approach the conflict dramatically differently than they have been doing for decades.**Key takeaways**4:00 Why Einat believed that the conflict was simply about territory9:39 The purpose and flaws of constructive ambiguity16:00 The shock and meaning of the Second Intifada 19:00 Listening deeply to Palestinians and taking seriously what they say they want22:30 The settlements are Israel's most wasteful project28:30 The Jews want a state.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, self-proclaimed champion for human rights and freedom, and enemy of dictators everywhere, inched closer to getting Ukraine aid after eight months of successfully delaying it, empowering Russia's genocide. Kremlin state TV repeatedly praised Johnson for assisting their brutal invasion, which, as discussed in this week's bonus show, emboldened Iran to unleash a shocking swarm of drones and missiles against Israel. The Ukraine aid package still faces delays, thanks to MAGA, and will have to go back to the Senate before it reaches President Biden's desk. The Trump-proposed changes, of structuring some of the aid as a loan, can be forgiven by the President, including partial loan forgiveness by Biden on his way out, should he lose the election. If Trump wins, he could force Ukraine to repay what's left of the loan and refuse to send ATACMS, the long-range missiles that have made Ukraine effective at blowing up Russian planes and other military targets that slaugher civilians. The compromise in this aid package, far less than what Ukraine actually needs to win the war, adds to the urgency to ensure Trump loses the electoral college. It's going to be a nailbiter, for America and the world.  This week's bonus show includes reports that Paul Manafort is back to help Trump (and Russia) win the 2024 election. Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman and analyst Monique Camarra of the Kremlin File podcast join Andrea to discuss Manafort's dark arts and how they may help Trump and Russia illegally hijack our democracy once again. Ari Berman of Mother Jones stops by Gaslit Nation next week to discuss his new must-read book Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It. Ari will share his insights on how we got here and what must be done to save our democracy. Want to hear the full episode?

Why Israel? Why should we care? As the church, what should we do? Engage in a biblical and thoughtful presentation and discussion around God's heart and plan for Israel. Consider how the church should prepare for this season as we draw near to the end of the age.

Over the past week, we have seen certain media narratives being sold where Israelis are "killed' but Palestinians simply die. We have seen a lot of propaganda and lies, especially a big lie that has been told to manufacture consent for war. In this video we break it all down, from BBC to CNN, from the Gaza Hospital Strike to Hamas, From October 7th to IDF, and from Pro-Palestine rallies to Anti-Semitism. This is why Israel needed a big lie - to justify what they are doing: The Pakistan Experience is an independently produced podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan through conversations.

In this episode of New Ideal Live, and in the context of ongoing events in Israel and Gaza, Onkar Ghate and Elan Journo discuss how to think about civilian casualties in war. Among the topics covered: Why the brutal nature of war should not be sanitized, glamorized, or whitewashed; Why winning requires doing everything necessary to bring an end to the enemy's military and political leadership; How Hamas uses its subjects as human shields, hoping to deter Israel from defending itself and turn wider opinion against Israel; How to think about the moral and causal responsibility of civilians for the aggression of their government; Why a proper concern for innocent people and allies in enemy territory cannot jeopardize overall war aims; Why it's important not to think of war as a kind of legal punishment for criminal behavior; That Hamas's goal is not freedom for Palestinians but the annihilation of Israel and the establishment of a religious dictatorship; Why it's wrong to apply a standard of “proportionality” to military actions taken in self-defense; How altruism causes observers to put emotional reactions to images of suffering above concerns with justice and self-defense; Why Israel and the West's appeasement of evil makes them partly culpable for the attacks they now face. Relevant to the discussion is “Ayn Rand on the Death of Innocents in War,” a recently released video on the ARI YouTube page, which documents Rand's extemporaneous comments on the issue of civilian casualties in war.

Like all wars, the current conflict in Sudan has deep roots and complicated dynamics. US State Dept bungling is a major factor. Feeder schools and the people they provide. The men who want ugly competition. Swamp thinking at it's peak. Brain cell size is related to multi tasking behavior. Just exactly what is happening in South Sudan? What was Senator Obama's early role? Drawing borders for fun and profit. The CPA, SPLA, IGAD, USAID, ADF, John Brennan and a host of other actors. Nuland the witch and her clone Molly Phee. Why bio-labs seem to always follow. The huge role Turkey now plays. China, Russia and the increase of effective influence. The Chicoms are winning. A covert genius is very dangerous. Erdogan's God is power. The old days of always inserting ourselves are over. Why Israel should be terrified. NATO's armies decide when coups are a problem. Local citizens, not DHS should run our elections. 120 million votes is possible. Noisy distractions abound, so never lose focus on friends, family and what's really important.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
