The political fallout from the war with Iran is creating some unlikely alliances. Figures as different as Tucker Carlson, Mehdi Hasan, Megyn Kelly and Cenk Uygur are all making strikingly similar arguments: that Donald Trump campaigned against foreign wars only to lead the United States into one. Many also believe Benjamin Netanyahu's government played a decisive role in the push for military action against Iran and have come under fierce criticism for saying so. Meanwhile, fresh scrutiny is falling on Israel's treatment of Palestinian detainees. Following allegations of abuse in Israeli custody and renewed controversy surrounding National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a growing debate is emerging over whether one of Israel's most polarising politicians is a rogue actor or a reflection of something deeper within a country hardened by decades of conflict. Piers Morgan is joined by political scientist and activist Norman Finkelstein, former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, Gaza flotilla detainees Catriona Graham and Alex Colston, and former Ben-Gvir adviser Yishai Fleisher. 00:00 Introduction 02:22 Norman Finkelstein and Joe Kent debate begins 02:40 Joe Kent on Norman Finkelstein's comments and Israel's influence over the US 12:50 Norman Finkelstein on the fragmented right wing in the US 17:00 Joe Kent on Israel's influence over the US 23:00 Norman Finkelstein on Piers's deviation on Israel and Hamas 26:29 Norman Finkelstein's comments on October 7 and calling Israelis ‘Nazis' 38:30 Piers Morgan's monologue on the treatment of Gaza flotilla detainees 40:00 Catriona Graham discusses being detained ‘assaulted' by Israelis 42:45 Are Israeli forces capable of committing sexual crimes against detainees? 46:15 Yishai Fleischer and Alex Colston join 46:45 Yishai Fleischer labels the ‘abuse' narrative as ‘fraudulent' 48:54 Yishai reacts to ‘police action' against Catriona 52:14 Flotilla detainee Alex Colston responds to Yishai's comments 55:20 Yishai responds to Alex; “a wolf in sheep's clothing” 01:03:57 Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon joins 01:05:10 Danny Danon on the war with Iran 01:09:32 Danny Danon on Israel sexual abuse accusations 01:11:22 Ben Gvir posting a video abusing young female flotilla detainee Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Jessica Steinberg speaking with author Yishay Ishi Ron. Ishi Ron's award-winning 2023 book, "Dog," is about an Israeli combat officer returning from Gaza, grappling with PTSD and heroin addiction until a stray dog enters his life and helps save him. The novel became a bestseller in Israel, was long-listed for the Sapir Prize, and is currently being adapted into a film by director Eran Ricklis. After "Dog" was translated into English, it won two 2026 National Jewish Book Awards, in the Book Club and Hebrew Fiction in Translation categories. A former commando in the elite Duvdevan unit fictionalized in the Netflix series "Fauda," Ishi Ron wrote "Dog" before he was diagnosed with PTSD, while he was self-medicating with alcohol and drugs. Ishi Ron talks about writing books as part of his healing process and what has become his mission to help others in his situation. He also discusses his latest book, a Holocaust drama called "The Girl Who Rode the White Lion," inspired by his grandfather, a Holocaust survivor. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by Ari Schlacht.

A new generation in Israel is rediscovering identity, meaning, and sovereignty — this conversation explores what comes next. This episode is in Hebrew.Recorded under missile fire in Petah Tikva, Yishai Fleisher and Moshe Feiglin explore the profound shift in Israeli consciousness since October 7th.A new generation is emerging — one no longer focused solely on survival, but driven by a deep thirst for identity, purpose, and connection to its roots.In this wide-ranging conversation, they discuss: The reimagining of Route 60 as the “Bible Road,” connecting Beersheba to the Sea of Galilee — and why this vision is gaining traction even among secular Israelis  The concept of “organicity”: why Torah, the people, and the land are inseparable  The Zehut vision — and why the political right has struggled to offer a compelling alternative  The two pillars of a renewed national message: identity and freedom  The symbolism of the yellow ribbon vs. the Temple patch — and what it reveals about the deeper struggle for Jewish consciousness “The people are searching for what it means to be Jewish. They didn't erase it — they're thirsty for it.”This is a conversation about leadership, identity, and the transition from a “ghetto mindset” to a confident, sovereign, regional vision.PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://yishaifleisher.com/podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/YishaiFleisherTVSUPPORT & CONNECT:Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/yishaiFight4Israel: https://fight4israel.givecloud.coTwitter: https://twitter.com/YishaiFleisherLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yishaifleisherFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/YishaiFleisher  Support the show

You already know who it is.You've known for a while. But every time you get close to the decision, something pulls you back. Gratitude. History. The memory of when they showed up before anyone else would.And the whole team can already see it. Even though no one's saying it out loud.The question isn't whether you're loyal.It's what you're most loyal to. And what that choice is costing you, the company, and the people who are watching you hold the line.Inside the EpisodeWhat happens inside a founder when loyalty starts hurting the mission — and why knowing doesn't make the decision easier.Harvard Business School studied 50,000+ employees and found removing the wrong person creates 2.5x more value than hiring a top 1% performer.Why most founders are running the wrong play. Even when they know the right one.When leadership shields a low performer, the signal travels fast: tenure counts more than results. That's not a culture problem. That's a decision you made — and everyone is reading it.This Episode Is for Founders and Execs Who...Already know who they need to deal with — and keep finding a reason to waitFeel the loyalty and hate what it's costing them at the same timeWatch good people get quieter and aren't sure how much of it is connected to thisWhat to Do Next→ Send this to the founder who needs to make the call.

Told through the eyes of an Israeli combat officer who's haunted by the trauma of fighting in Gaza, Dog (Soncata Press 2025) is a gritty story about PTSD, the effects of war, and resilience. Dog was translated into English by the renowned New translator Yardenne Greenspan , and centers on “Geller,” once a prize-winning hero, who has spiraled into heroin addiction and lives from hit to hit, surrounded by filth, despair, and other broken men. Geller is barely surviving the streets of Tel Aviv when his days are brightened by the arrival of a stray dog. Dog leads him to Dorit, a lonely woman who has also experienced loss and living on edge of society. This moving novel, a Jewish Book Award winner, describes the anguish of Geller's brutal memories, the physical and mental wounds he'll carry always, and his quest to bend a spoon like Uri Geller. Yishai Ishi Ron is an acclaimed Israeli author, a former elite combat soldier, and a survivor of severe PTSD. Writing has been an essential part of his healing journey, enabling him to transform deeply personal wounds into stories of trauma, resilience, and redemption. Ron's previous works in Hebrew include Holiday Apocalypse, which was nominated for the Geffen Award, and Vincent's Nose, a children's book that was adapted into an award-winning play. Across genres, his writing continues to explore the fragile boundary between suffering and survival, silence and voice, despair and imagination. His next novel, The Girl Who Rode the White Lion, will be published by Soncata Press later in 2026. He's passionate about reading, especially world literature and contemporary Israeli fiction. Because of his PTSD, he doesn't leave the house very much and has a very close relationship with my wife of 29 years, Elinor. Yishai always writes while standing, usually at the kitchen island, because standing helps him maintain a certain emotional balance. Learn more about your ad choices.

SEASON 2025 EPISODE 23:   First, Yishai speaks with Melanie Phillips, who delivers a sharp and unsettling analysis of Europe's unraveling in the face of jihadist influx, elite denial, and cultural collapse — and what that trajectory means for Israel and the Jewish people. Yishai then shifts into a fireside reflection on the transformation from Jacob to Israel, tracing the biblical and sociological move from exile-thinking to Jewish political maturity and power. Jonathan Pollard follows with a hard-nosed assessment of Qatar's role in Gaza, asking who enabled Hamas and who will ultimately be tasked with cleaning up Rafah. The episode closes on an unexpected note, as Ben Bresky explores newly uncovered dinosaur remains and the deeper mystery of prehistoric life in the Land of Israel — where even ancient bones have a story to tell.SPONSOR LINKS:The Israel Bible https://theisraelbible.com/Prohibition Pickle https://www.facebook.com/Prohibitionpickle/Hebron Fund https://hebronfund.org/The Jewish Press https://www.jewishpress.com/JNS https://www.jns.org/Kosher Cycle Tours http://www.KosherCycleTours.comPODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://yishaifleisher.com/podcast/Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3mIsdfUSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3oP2Reo4JYnfIJdDUrQS2cRSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1271258.rssYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/YishaiFleisherTVSUPPORT & CONNECT:Check out the sponsors above, it's the best way to support this podcastSupport on Givecloud: https://kumah.givecloud.co/Twitter: https://twitter.com/YishaiFleisherInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yishaifleisherLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yishaifleisher/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YishaiFleisherSupport the show

It is the pause. Derek is the CEO of Practical AI and the creator of Pocket Mentor, built to keep people moving when real work gets unclear.  He built Amazon's highest-rated training program. And still watched people freeze when it mattered most.Not because they were lazy. Not because they did not care. Because the moment arrived. And no one wanted to get it wrong.It's true for frontline workers. But also for managers and execs – on a whole other level. Same slowdown. Three different fears.What does it actually take to keep the work moving at every level?Inside the episodeWhere work actually slows. People do not stall because of training. They stall because they need answers in the middle of working.Why one message isn't enough. Frontline workers, managers, and execs slow down for different reasons. When you speak to only one, the work still stalls.The moment the old model breaks. Hours of onboarding videos still leave people stopping, guessing, or feeling judged when they have a question.How to get the right words, to the right people, at the right time. To keep things moving smoothly. This episode is forFounders whose teams slow down at the exact moment results matter.Leaders tired of answering the same question in five different ways.Execs who look fast on paper but feel drag underneath.High performers who want motion without more pressure. Connect with Derek:Website: https://www.practicalai.appBook (Free Chapter): https://www.humanfirstai.netLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amazonleadership/Email: dc@practicalai.app What to do nextShare this with the leader who keeps saying, “Why does this keep slowing down?” Ask them this: “Where does the work pause when it should flow?”Connect with Dr. Yishai on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dryishai/Book your free Ceiling Break Session on his LinkedIn page to get the shift yourself.About the podcastYou were built for speed.But right now you feel slower than you look on paper.Most founders try to outwork that slow-down.

SEASON 2025 EPISODE 22:   First, Yishai speaks with Malkah Fleisher about a tweet that stirred up quite a storm among the haters of Israel.

What's the sin in that?Then, a powerful — and deeply introspective — conversation with Yair Ansbacher, exploring how the war should really be measured: its true successes, its failures, and the big question of whether Prime Minister Netanyahu is actually good for Israel's security?Finally, Ben Bresky tells the story of the desert capital Be'er Sheva — a modern Israeli city with ancient roots and a profound prophetic past. SPONSOR LINKS:The Israel Bible https://theisraelbible.com/Prohibition Pickle https://www.facebook.com/Prohibitionpickle/Hebron Fund https://hebronfund.org/The Jewish Press https://www.jewishpress.com/JNS https://www.jns.org/Kosher Cycle Tours http://www.KosherCycleTours.comPODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://yishaifleisher.com/podcast/Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3mIsdfUSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3oP2Reo4JYnfIJdDUrQS2cRSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1271258.rssYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/YishaiFleisherTVSUPPORT & CONNECT:Check out the sponsors above, it's the best way to support this podcastSupport on Givecloud: https://kumah.givecloud.co/Twitter: https://twitter.com/YishaiFleisherInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yishaifleisherLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yishaifleisher/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YishaiFleisherSupport the show
