Exploring the Connection Between Matthew 16 and Nehemiah For BibleInTen.com - By DH, 14th February 2026 Welcome back to Bible in Ten! Today, we have another bonus episode as our daily commentary from CG at the Superior Word rounds off Matthew Chapter 16. Matthew's Gospel contains 28 chapters, and remarkably, it mirrors the first 28 books of the Old Testament as arranged in the Christian Bible. So in this episode, having considered Matthew 16, we'll now look at its fascinating counterpart: Book 16 of the Old Testament-Nehemiah. Nehemiah (נְחֶמְיָה / Nechemyah) means “Yah comforts.” That is appropriate because the whole book is comfort through restoration after judgment. Nehemiah functions as a historical “control text,” showing an established covenant pattern that Matthew 16 then re-presents prophetically (while still being literal history in Jesus' life, confirmed by the other Gospel writers).  Isn't the Word of God Amazing?! Let us now take a look at 12 connections which which support the summary of the chapter as detailed in the previous episode.     Unlike pairings between Matthew 14 with 2 Chronicles—where the correspondence spans a wider sweep of history across multiple dispensational stages—the Matthew 16 / Nehemiah pairing is compressed into a narrower prophetic frame (the tribulation-period restoration conflict) and does not proceed step by step.  The lack of a perfectly locked step-by-step sequence is itself instructive.   In Matthew 14 the picture maps a long, ordered panorama where chronology matters as it spans events across Israel's history from the dispensation of law to and prophetic future carries a clearer, more sequential structure. .. But in the Matthew 16 / Nehemiah pairing—focused on the tribulation—Scripture is not chiefly giving a detailed internal timetable; it is giving the shape of the period.   So lets turn to that shape now with these 12 steps. A Demand for a Sign and the First Opposition Matthew 16 opens with the Pharisees and Sadducees coming together to test Jesus, demanding a “sign from heaven.” It is leadership pressure-religious power trying to control the terms. Nehemiah opens with the same kind of pressure appearing as soon as restoration is announced. When Nehemiah arrives with authorization to rebuild, opposition rises immediately: Sanballat and Tobiah are “grieved” that someone came to seek Israel's good (Nehemiah 2:10). They then laugh and scorn: “What is this thing that ye do?” (2:19) The pattern is consistent: when God moves to restore, the entrenched powers demand proof, challenge legitimacy, and attempt to intimidate the work before it begins. “You Can Read the Sky… But Not the Times” Jesus says they can interpret the sky, but they cannot discern “the signs of the times.” The irony is that the very men claiming insight are the ones blind to what God is doing. Nehemiah carries that same irony in restoration form. The enemies act as if they understand the situation and control the outcome—mocking, threatening, and plotting as though the work will collapse on their schedule. But they do not know what's really happening. Their blindness shows in this: they only learn after the fact that their plan has been uncovered. In Nehemiah —“when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought…” (Nehemiah 4:15). They thought they were the ones reading the moment, but they were misreading it completely. The builders knew; the enemies did not. And once the plot was exposed, the intimidation lost its power and the work continued. The Sign of Judgment Remembered With the coming of the end times, the leaders of Israel would be expected to understand the situation they are in—but in Matthew 16 they are shown as unable to read it. Jesus calls them “wicked and adulterous” and says no sign will be given except “the sign of the prophet Jonah.” In the previous episode we learned that, Jonah's “Yet forty days” becomes a prophetic template—forty as judgment time—fulfilled in the temple's destruction about forty years after Christ, and then the long exile that followed. The end-times petition is therefore not, “wait for a new sign,” but: look back, read your history through Scripture, and believe. Nehemiah begins with that same mechanism already in place. The “sign” is not in the sky; it is in the city. Jerusalem stands as a covenant witness—broken, burned, and shamed: “the wall of Jerusalem… broken down, and the gates… burned with fire” (Nehemiah 1:3). And crucially, Nehemiah interprets that ruin as meaning—he does not treat it as mere geopolitics. He confesses, “We have dealt very corruptly… and have not kept the commandments” (1:7), and he appeals to what God had already spoken in the Scriptures about scattering for unfaithfulness and gathering upon repentance (1:8-9). Matthew 16 points Israel to a coming historical sign—temple judgment—meant to force a right reading of Scripture and history. Nehemiah opens with an earlier historical sign—Jerusalem in ruins—meant to do the same. In both cases, the issue is not that God failed to leave evidence. The issue is whether the people will stop being “clueless,” read the sign correctly, internalize what it says about their covenant state, and then return to the Lord in true faith. Crossing Over: From Exile-Space to Covenant-Space The movement across the sea of Galilee (and thus the Jordan-line running through it) pictured a spiritual boundary-those “on the other side” needing to come through Christ. Nehemiah is structured around a grand “crossing” of its own: movement from Persia and the regions “beyond the river” into the land where God's name was set. The restoration work begins when Nehemiah leaves the place of worldly security and goes to the place of covenant accountability. Beware the Leaven: Corrupt Influence Inside the People In Matthew 16, Jesus warns of the “leaven” of the Pharisees and Sadducees—doctrine and influence that works invisibly, spreading through the whole lump until everything is affected. The disciples first think He is speaking about bread, but Jesus corrects them: the danger is not what you eat, but what you absorb. Nehemiah gives a historical picture of that same leaven-principle. The enemy does not remain at the gate. He aims for infiltration—to become familiar, acceptable, even respected within the restored community. During the rebuilding, Nehemiah notes that the nobles were already entangled: “For many in Judah were pledged to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.” (Nehemiah 6:18). The leaven isn't merely threat from outside; it is sympathy and alliance forming inside—compromise that feels normal because it comes through “our own people.” And when that leaven is left unchecked, it advances from relationships to residence. In Nehemiah 13, Tobiah is not simply corresponding with leaders—he is granted an actual chamber in the temple precincts (Nehemiah 13:4-9). The unclean influence in its mature form, so that what begins as tolerated association ends as sanctioned presence. This is exactly the warning Matthew 16 carries forward. Don't misread the matter as “bread,” as though the issue were external details. The real danger is the teaching, the partnerships, the slow drift—leavened thinking that spreads through the body while everyone tells themselves nothing serious is happening, until the holy space itself is compromised. Power, Pride, and the Military Temptation Caesarea Philippi was highlighted as a picture-space: Caesar as deified man; Philippi as leaning on the “horse” principle-military pride. Nehemiah's rebuilding occurs under constant threat. The people must be armed while they build.  They work with one hand and hold a weapon with the other (Nehemiah 4:17-18). But Nehemiah carefully frames this: the sword is not their salvation. Their security is God, and vigilance is obedience. Necessary defense exists, but pride in defense is a snare. The people are restored, yet always at risk of trusting the wall more than the Lord. “Who Do You Say That I Am?” and the Community's Confession In Matthew 16, we have the God assisted confession: “You are the Christ.” Nehemiah contains an extended sequence where Israel is restored not merely by masonry but by identity-confession through God's Word: “So they read from the Book of the Law of God, explaining it and giving insight, so that the people could understand what was being read.” (Nehemiah 8:8). This leads into confession of sin and confession of God's faithfulness (Nehemiah 9). In the Matthew framework: end-times Jews become true “hearers”- not merely readers of signs, but confessors of what the signs meant. 8. Kingdom-Order, and Covenant Enrollment In Matthew 16, everything turns on identity and confession. Israel can offer many assessments of Jesus—prophet, teacher, threat—but the end-times remnant is identified as those who follow Peter's confession: “You are the Christ.” After this, Jesus blesses Peter with a name that ties back to the only sign granted—Bar-Jonah, “son of Jonah.” In other words, Peter typifies the Jews who have heard the sign of Jonah, interpreted their own history rightly, and therefore confess the Messiah they once missed. That confession marks them out as the out-called, and it is on that proclamation that Christ speaks of kingdom entry—the granting of the keys. Nehemiah provides an Old Covenant “control text” for that same movement: a remnant comes to understanding, confession, and then formalized belonging. After the Scriptures are read and the national confession is made (Nehemiah 8-9), the people do not remain in mere emotion or general agreement. They move into enrollment—a defined act of covenant identity: “And because of all this, we make a sure covenant and write it; our leaders, our Levites, and our priests seal it” (Nehemiah 9:38; detailed in chapter 10). Names are written. Allegiance is publicly owned. Commitments and boundaries are stated. And the Hebrew meaning of these written names themselves bear connection to tribulation period events described in Revelation. In typology terms, Nehemiah shows a keys-of-the-kingdom counterpart in historical form, a concrete act of authorized inclusion into a defined covenant community. As Bar-Jonah represents those who finally hear and identify the true Messiah, the sealed covenant in Nehemiah represents those who finally own and enter the restored order. 9. A Messiah Who Must Suffer: The Offense of God's Way In Matthew 16, Peter stumbles over the suffering plan. The moment Jesus speaks openly about rejection, suffering, and death, Peter tries to correct Him—and Jesus rebukes him sharply. The warning is against demanding a triumphant, expectation-shaped messiah while rejecting the true Messiah as God presents Him—first crucified, then glorified. Nehemiah provides the historical control picture of that same offense. Restoration there advances through obedience under scorn. The workers are mocked (Nehemiah 4:1-3), threatened (4:7-8), and worn down by discouragement (4:10). Yet the work moves forward because they refuse the “easy” path of retreat, silence, or compromise. That is the typological connection: Peter's impulse—“this shall not happen to You”—is the human instinct to reject a deliverance that comes through suffering. Nehemiah's remnant models the opposite posture: they accept that God often brings vindication after humiliation.   10. Deny Yourself: The Cost of Faithfulness Under Pressure In Matthew 16, Jesus' call to deny yourself is not abstract spirituality—it is a demand for costly allegiance. In the end-times picture drawn, it means refusing the survival-instinct that compromises truth, and choosing fidelity to Christ even when it carries temporary loss. Nehemiah provides a clear historical control of that same principle. He refuses the governor's allowance—he will not enrich himself at the people's expense: “I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor” (Nehemiah 5:14-19).  In both cases the work of God is advanced by those willing to serve faithfully even when they could have claimed their rights. Vindication: God's Work Revealed Before Enemies Matthew 16 ends with the thought of the Son of Man coming in glory with His messengers-a public unveiling of reality. Nehemiah contains a miniature version of that unveiling: The wall is finished, and the enemies “perceived that this work was wrought of our God” (Nehemiah 6:15-16). The point is the pattern: endurance, completion, public recognition that God did it, not man. What is done in faith is later shown to have been of God. A Remnant Standing at the End Some will make it through the tribulation without tasting death when they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. In Nehemiah, the “standing remnant” idea is stated in the narrative milestones that mark survival through the entire pressure campaign to the realized outcome. They survive to completion: “So the wall was finished…” (Nehemiah 6:15). They survive the intimidation campaign and remain in place: after the plot is exposed and collapses, the work continues and the enemies are put to shame (Nehemiah 6:16). They transition from building under threat to ordered life in the city: once the wall is finished, “the doors were set up,” gatekeepers and Levites are appointed, and watch is established (Nehemiah 7:1-3). They are still there as a gathered people at the end of the building phase: “all Israel dwelt in their cities… and all the people gathered themselves together as one man” (Nehemiah 7:73-8:1). They move from completion to public dedication: “at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem…” (Nehemiah 12:27), culminating in corporate worship and rejoicing (Nehemiah 12:43). Nehemiah doesn't just end with “a wall.” It ends with a preserved community—still present, still assembled, moving from survival under pressure (6:15-16) into established order (7:1-3), unified gathering (7:73-8:1), and dedication/worship (12:27, 43). So the narrative picture of a remnant standing is explicit: some make it through, and they stand in what God established. CONCLUSION: Why This is Controlled Typology In Nehemiah, the question is: Will the returned people truly become God's people again-by truth, separation, and covenant fidelity-rather than by mere structure? In Matthew 16, the question becomes sharper and final: Will Israel discern what their own history meant, reject leavened leadership, confess the true Messiah, accept the suffering plan, and endure to the kingdom? Nehemiah gives the Old Covenant restoration pattern in history. Matthew 16 gives the New Covenant restoration petition in prophecy-picture-centered entirely on Jesus: who He is, what He must do, and what His people must endure in the tribulation period. Nehemiah rebuilds a wall around a city.  Matthew 16 reveals the confession upon which Christ builds His out-calling. Lord God, we thank You for Your word-holy, faithful, and true. Give us discernment for the times we live in. Guard us from leaven-quiet compromise, false teaching, and fear-driven counsel that sounds spiritual but serves another master.  Strengthen us to bear reproach, to deny ourselves, and to endure faithfully until Your purposes are complete.  And may all our confidence rest not in walls, not in strength, not in man-but in the name of the Lord our God. Amen.

In this episode of “Israel Undiplomatic,” former Israeli Ambassador to the UK Mark Regev and senior JNS editor Ruthie Blum—both former advisers at the Prime Minister's Office— break down Israel's dramatic ground incursion into Gaza City, Hamas's last stronghold. With Israeli forces advancing, civilians fleeing and Hamas reportedly firing on its own people to keep them in place, the war enters a deadly and decisive phase. At the same time, the diplomatic front is just as volatile. Following controversy over Israel's covert strike on Hamas leaders in Doha, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio arrives in Israel to signal strong American support. His visit includes a symbolic moment at the Western Wall with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Ambassador Mike Huckabee, and a sharp rebuke of Hamas' hostage tactics. Regev and Blum dig into the geopolitical fallout: Is the U.S.-Israel alliance as strong as ever or are cracks beginning to show? What message did the Qatar strike send to terrorist sponsors worldwide? And is the West, especially leftist governments and media, fueling extremism through appeasement? This episode also explores the ideological battle raging in Western universities and media, the manipulation of Palestinian victimhood and the global spread of Islamist propaganda bankrolled by Qatar. From Gaza to DC to Doha, this is a war of weapons and narratives, and Regev and Blum expose both. With hostages still in peril, Hamas on the brink and world powers watching, the only question that remains is: Will Israel finish the job?

Florida Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz joins Chuck Todd with a stark assessment of American politics: bipartisanship is dead, foreign interference has poisoned public discourse, and Democrats face an existential choice between fighting dirty or facing potential party destruction. Moskowitz, who represents Parkland and witnessed multiple system failures during that tragic shooting, argues that Trump's second term has fundamentally changed Democrats who now face primary voters demanding fighters while swing voters want uniters—an impossible contradiction that reflects deeper dysfunction where politicians receive no political reward for solving problems. He warns that increased gerrymandering from both parties will worsen congressional dysfunction while big tech companies have created a discourse environment where TikTok operates as a "psyop weapon" showing endless Gaza content while ignoring Uyghur genocide, demonstrating how public opinion gets manipulated by algorithms designed for engagement rather than truth.The conversation reveals a politician grappling with impossible strategic calculations as Florida officially becomes a red state through Trump-driven demographic shifts and COVID-era political realignment, while Democrats debate whether moderates should fall in line when progressives win or continue prioritizing electability over ideological purity. Moskowitz's insights into Israel's "generational reputational damage" and the effectiveness of Trump's intimidation politics—where physical threats cause Republican senators to cave—illustrate how normal democratic processes have been weaponized into permanent warfare. Looking ahead, he warns that Democratic failure in midterms could destroy the party entirely, while practical governance challenges like FEMA's disaster response capabilities face deliberate sabotage from a White House that realizes competent federal agencies undermine their political narrative, leaving states unable to handle hurricane logistics independently as climate disasters intensify.Timeline: (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Congressman Jared Moskowitz joins the Chuck Toddcast01:30 As a Dem, could you ever get a job in a 2nd term DeSantis admin?02:45 The days of bipartisanship are long gone04:00 Why not stand on principle in the redistricting fight?05:00 The Democratic base wants to fight fire with fire06:00 Trump's second term has changed the Democrats07:15 Primary voters want a fighter, swing voters want a uniter08:00 More gerrymander will increase dysfunction in congress10:30 Both parties moved away from each other after cold war11:15 Foreign interference in American discourse has been effective12:45 DeSantis hasn't succeeded in repealing Florida's red flag laws14:15 Stopping school/mass shootings requires an “all of the above” approach16:15 There's no political reward for bipartisanship and solving problems18:15 There were multiple points of failure in Parkland shooting20:00 Public discourse is at the mercy of five giant tech companies 20:45 TikTok is a psyop weapon 22:45 TikTok shows Gaza content, but nothing about the Uyghurs 24:00 Restrictions government should place on social media/internet 25:15 The big tech lobby has become one of the strongest 27:30 Bipartisan support for internet regulations to protect kids 29:15 The Democratic party is losing the nuance on Israel 30:30 Social media has juiced coverage in Gaza, ignored other conflicts 32:45 Israel is doing generational reputational damage 35:30 Physical threats have caused Republican senators to cave 36:45 Trump's intimidation politics work effectively 37:45 Majority of Americans want to cut off aid to Israel 39:00 Will Israel be a true voting issue? 41:30 Populations move to the right after being attacked 42:30 Covid led to Republican dominance in Florida 46:00 Florida is officially a red state 47:15 Democrats have policy fights, Republicans have personality fights 48:45 When progressives win, should the moderates get on board? 49:45 Democrats have to value electability over purity 51:15 The power of strong political communication skills 52:00 Any interest in a Florida senate run? 53:15 Trump's presence created big rightward shift in Palm Beach county 54:30 Potential to be gerrymandered out of your seat? 55:30 If Democrats don't win in midterms it could destroy the party 56:45 Democrats can't unilaterally disarm in gerrymandering war 58:15 Trump's cover up of Epstein is openly blatant 1:00:45 What will FEMA response look like when a hurricane hits? 1:02:45 States can't handle disaster logistics without FEMA 1:07:30 White House realizes FEMA will become a problem 1:09:00 Some of the people around Trump are worse than him

Chuck Todd unpacks how Putin's latest strikes reveal Trump was played in Alaska and why Labor Day marks a new stage in the political calendar. From looming government shutdowns and Supreme Court battles over tariffs to the total collapse of checks on Trump 2.0, the conversation digs into what—if anything—remains of the pre-Trump Republican Party. With GOP senators capitulating, RFK Jr. emboldened, and even Trump hesitant to cross him, the stakes for public health and American democracy have never been higher. Todd also explores how rumors about Trump's health could spark a political feeding frenzy, why Kennedy should be forced to prove his vaccine claims, and whether any non-MAGA Republicans are willing to buck Trump to save their party.Florida Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz joins Chuck Todd with a stark assessment of American politics: bipartisanship is dead, foreign interference has poisoned public discourse, and Democrats face an existential choice between fighting dirty or facing potential party destruction.

Isaiah predicts the expansion of Israel in the Messianic Era. Will Israel annex Turkey and Spain?!https://thechesedfund.com/rabbikatz/support-rabbi-katzz-podcast

Will Israel achieve total victory in Gaza and bring every hostage home, or will another shaky deal derail the war? This episode it sponsored by the American Technion Society: https://ats.org/impact/israels-security/  This episode explores the growing divide inside Israel's leadership: Prime Minister Netanyahu insists on a full takeover of Gaza City and total victory over Hamas, but opposition voices are pushing for a deal that risks leaving Hamas in power.  Senior contributing editor at JNS Ruthie Blum and former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister's Office— examine President Donald Trump's latest declaration that Netanyahu is a “war hero” and his insistence that only Hamas's defeat can secure the hostages' release. The discussion also turns to international tensions. Europe and Australia are fueling Hamas's defiance with premature calls for Palestinian statehood and recognition. The shocking decision by Australia to ban Israeli MK Simcha Rothman sparks a diplomatic firestorm as antisemitic attacks spike against Australia's Jewish community. Regev and Blum also analyze how global actors, from Egypt and Qatar to European governments, are undermining Israel while claiming to act as mediators.

If Israel rejects the latest offer to pause its War on Gaza, it's a sign that Israel “doesn't want any deal,” argues US journalist and author Jeremy Scahill. Scahill, the co-founder of Drop Site News, tells host Steve Clemons that Hamas has offered major concessions on sticking points such as the number of Palestinian prisoners to be released, Israeli withdrawal from the border with Egypt, and the so-called GHF. But with carte blanche from the US to continue its war, the question remains: Will Israel decide to sign a temporary deal or pursue war?

Following President Trump's unexpected mediation of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran—after a targeted strike on Iran's nuclear facilities—the world is watching closely. But serious questions remain: Is this truly the end of the conflict, or just a temporary lull? Will Israel push for regime change in Tehran? What is the significance of Iran's reported relocation of highly enriched uranium to undisclosed sites? Can diplomacy prevail, or is the region headed for deeper confrontation? To unpack the implications and global ramifications, the program featured two distinguished experts: Professor Gregory Aftandilian Nonresident Fellow, Arab Center Washington DC Senior Lecturer in U.S. Foreign Policy, American University A seasoned former U.S. government official and Middle East policy expert, with over 20 years of experience in the State Department and U.S. Senate. Professor Brad R. Roth Professor of Political Science and Law, Wayne State University Visiting Scholar, Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice, Queen's University Belfast An internationally respected authority on sovereignty, political legitimacy, and the legal dimensions of armed conflict. His work spans key flashpoints such as Israel-Palestine, Ukraine, and the Balkans. The episode was broadcast on June 27, 2025 US Arab Radio can be heard on wnzk 690 AM, WDMV 700 AM, and WPAT 930 AM.

It's the fourth day in the war between Iran and Israel. Many questions hang in the air. Chief among them: Will Israel be able to fulfill its main goal in the war—to end Iran's nuclear program? Will it put troops on the ground to do so, specifically to blow up Iran's most important nuclear site? Or will the U.S. get involved? Will Trump provide the bunker-busting bombs necessary to destroy the facility at Fordow? Will the regime fall—and if so, what will come next? How does this struggle fit into the much, much larger geopolitical conflict between the U.S. and China? So today, I have two experts to break it all down: Niall Ferguson and Dexter Filkins. Niall Ferguson is a historian and Free Press columnist who just wrote in our pages, “Israel's attack restores the credibility of the West.” Dexter Filkins is a longtime foreign correspondent who has reported from Iran. He is a contributor at The New Yorker, has covered this topic for years, and is the author of The Forever War. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

01:00 Israel is achieving everything it wants, Iran achieving almost nothing but survival. 03:00 FT: Iran's authoritarian friends, Russia and China, are unlikely to prop up the regime if it does start to wobble. Russia did so in Syria in 2015 and that delayed the collapse of Assad rule by a decade. But even if it wanted to, Moscow probably lacks the capacity to intervene now, given how stretched it is in Ukraine. And China is a fair-weather friend, buying Iran's oil and promising investment but with no interest in being drawn into a security role in a far-off country, beyond providing surveillance technology. https://www.ft.com/content/45bf1ab3-f3e2-4a46-80aa-6a75164d0a97 07:00 Iran wants to drive US out of ME, US has interests in ME. 17:00 Video: Top Israeli Military Strategist Unpacks Israel/Iran war & What Comes Next, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_PZs9psXBU 29:00 Michael joins, https://x.com/Michaelmvlog 32:00 Sam Harris wants a return of gatekeepers 37:00 Jordan Peterson is an atheist 1:02:00 Iran Looks Like A Paper Tiger, https://lukeford.net/blog/?p=161557 1:40:00 Bret Baier interviews Bibi Netanyahu 2:14:00 JP: War with Iran: What's working and big question marks - analysis, https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-857834 2:25:00 Will Israel deploy special forces inside Iran? https://israelradar.com/will-israel-deploy-special-forces-inside-iran/ 2:43:30 Leaders rarely try to lie to the leaders of other nations 3:12:00 The Iran Breakdown | SITREP with Mark Dubowitz feat.

Will Israel listen to David Lammy's condemnation?Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question this evening are SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn, shadow health minister and Conservative MP Dr Luke Evans, Rachel Cunliffe from the New Statesman and political commentator Charlie Downes.

As Gaza plunges deeper into catastrophe, Israel's blockade has stopped aid for over a month, 60,000 children face malnutrition, hospitals lie in ruins, and the United Nations has called it a “killing field.” On this episode, we're joined by Palestinian Authority State Minister for Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Dr. Varsen Aghabekian. We ask why the peace talks collapsed. Will Israel be held accountable for strikes on hospitals and the deaths of aid workers? And is the Palestinian Authority truly prepared to govern both Gaza and the West Bank after such devastation?

Today we confront one of the most harrowing and consequential moments in modern history. The world has watched in horror as the brutality of October 7th has given way to even greater darkness. And now the unimaginable: Israeli children Kfir and Ariel Bibas, once held hostage by Hamas, are dead. Their fate, unconfirmed for months, was paraded in a grotesque display of inhumanity by those who revel in suffering. But what does this moment mean for Israel? For the future of the Middle East? For the very fabric of Western civilization? To answer these urgent questions, I sit down with a man who not only shaped history but understands it better than most. Ambassador David Friedman was at the heart of the Abraham Accords, forging peace where none was thought possible.Now, as the Jews fight for their survival against terror, against global antisemitism, against those who would wipe them from the map, we ask: What comes next? Will there be peace? Will Israel be forced into another cycle of war? Or will this be the moment the world finally understands that there is no compromise with evil?This is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.

From childhood, we admire heroes—whether it's Spider-Man, Indiana Jones, or Jack Bauer. But as we grow, we start to ask deeper questions: What truly makes a hero? What makes a fool?

Israel was destined to save the land, free the people, and introduce the ONE TRUE GOD—but things didn't go as planned.Will Israel rise to their calling, or will they be trapped in an endless cycle of failure? And what does this ancient story mean for us today?Continue watching as we set the stage and meet the characters for the next 8 weeks of Judges!

Will Israel, the new (as of January 2024) Executive Director of the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association, reached out to discuss Executive Order 14026 and the implications for guides and outfitters, specifically on federal lands. Honestly, we had not heard anything about this EO, but as you dig deeper into it - you can begin to understand how politics work in arenas like this. It's almost the classic two steps forward, two steps back when it comes to differing administrations thoughts around different issues - this one specifically is tied to hourly wages and overtime of guides and outfitters (yes even trout fishing operations) on federal lands. As you can imagine there are lots of nuances, lots of questions, lots of "what if" scenarios - that all point to the possibility of incredible hardships on the industry writ large that a ALOT of people have no idea is actually happening. This is a key piece that all fisherman, wilderness excursions, guides, outfitters, hunting operators etc., are ALL on the same page about. Do you have a questions we can answer?

In part 2, Richard Silverstein, analyst and author of the Israeli security state blog Tikun Olam, breaks down the Biden administration's explicit support for Israel's war crimes in Lebanon and efforts to eliminate Hezbollah. Unlawful U.S. approval for Israel's extrajudicial killings of Iranian IRGC leader in Lebanon and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian soil propelled Iran's ballistic missile attacks on Israel, which inconveniently degraded Israeli military assets. Will Israel now strike Iran's nuclear facilities?

On Tuesday, hundreds of encrypted pagers in Lebanon and Syria began exploding at the same time. Lebanon's health minister said Tuesday that at least nine people were killed and 2,800 were injured. The tiny country's hospitals were overwhelmed with patients suffering from burn wounds, blown-up hands, and groin injuries. The pagers belonged to members of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah.  Then, just 24 hours later, a second wave of thousands more explosions again went off simultaneously in Lebanon: This time not only pagers, but also walkie-talkies all belonging to Hezbollah terrorists.  It was the stuff of spy movies—an incredibly sophisticated and precise operation unlike anything we've seen before. And while Israel has not officially taken responsibility, this kind of imaginative sabotage has Mossad written all over it. Hezbollah has vowed retaliation against Israel.  This comes after almost a year of Hezbollah firing rockets into northern Israel. Since October 7, the constant barrage of attacks has forced some 100,000 Israelis to flee their homes on Israel's northern border. Nearly a year later, they still cannot return.  All of this, of course, is part of a much larger, more dangerous game being played across the region—Israel's shadow war with Iran, its most formidable adversary. For years, Israel and Iran have avoided direct conflict, preferring to fight through Iran's regional surrogates—Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen. All of them fueled by Iranian money, weapons, and ideology. Will Israel's alleged tactical brilliance this week—jokingly dubbed as Operation Below the Belt on social media—deter Hezbollah from continuing to launch the missiles and rockets into Israel that make it impossible for Israeli citizens to return home? Or is military intervention—a ground invasion—inevitable? As Eli Lake wrote in The Free Press today, “Israel cannot defeat its enemies by waging war only in the shadows.”  Today, I sat down with journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Dexter Filkins to talk about all of it. Dexter has been covering wars in the Middle East for decades for The New York Times and The New Yorker, and has been called “the premier combat journalist of his generation.”  In our conversation, we discussed the state of the war, political divisions within Lebanon, Iran's nuclear program, the viability of a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians, and the difficulties for the United States of disengaging from Middle East conflicts.  If you liked what you heard from Honestly, the best way to support us is to go to TheFP.com and become a Free Press subscriber today.

Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon   —Will Israel and Hezbollah (and Who Knows? Maybe Iran) Go to War?— Will Hezbollah's murder of twelve kids in Majdal Shams lead to all out war? —Druze Clues— What is it like to be Druze in Israel? —Et tu, MCU?— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: The folks at Marvel are turning Sabra into a Marrano? Plus, the Olympics, science breakthroughs and music of our troubled times.

On Saturday afternoon, a Hezbollah rocket fired from southern Lebanon struck a soccer field in the village of Majdal Shams in Israel's north, slaughtering 12 children. For the last 10 months, many have warned that Israel is on the brink of a major war with Hezbollah. But the truth is that Hezbollah has been fighting—and winning—in Israel's north since October 8. For the past 10 months, Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy terror group that controls southern Lebanon, has essentially redrawn the northern border of Israel by pummeling the border towns daily with rockets, leaving 225 square miles unlivable for Israelis and displacing around 80,000 Israeli citizens. Israel—pounded by Iranian proxies from all directions—now faces one of the most perilous moments in recent history. The prospect of an all-out war with Hezbollah, which could very well spread to a larger, more dangerous regional war—perhaps directly with Iran—seems closer than ever.  What is Israel going to do? Will Israel choose to confront Hezbollah, or will they respond in a more limited way to avoid the regional escalation that the Americans so fear? How does U.S. policy, and the upcoming presidential election, influence Israel's strategic calculation? Is Kamala Harris equipped to bring calm to the region? Or are Israelis just waiting for Trump to return to office? Is America's current policy—which is the containment of Iran—backfiring and inadvertently creating a regional crisis? Most importantly, should we be thinking about the war with Gaza and the war with Hezbollah as discrete fights, or are they all part of a broader war that's already underway between Israel and Iran? Answering those questions today is Haviv Rettig Gur. Haviv is a journalist and writer for The Times of Israel, and he is one of the most important and insightful thinkers of our time on Israel and the Middle East.

They're taking pride that they are clamping down on the freedom of speech of students of the United States. That is very significant. That is western democracy at work.” Subscribe for the full interview where we watch some of the most outrageous moments from Congress' questioning of Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, discuss why the Zionist lobby has “every reason to be worried,” and get Professor AbuKhalil's take on the Biden-Trump rematch. 00:00 Intro 04:42 The Four Food Groups of News 19:41 As'ad AbuKhalil interview 20:24 NYT covers up Israel's attack on Iran 30:37 Does the western left care? 31:55 Israels massacre in Lebanon 40:59 US backs Israeli invasion of Rafah 43:41 US vetoes proposal for Palestine statehood 49:04 Will Israel fight Hezbollah? 53:17 Columbia president testimony Learn more about your ad choices.
