Ep. 63: Aryeh Lightstone: If Iran gets the bomb, it's America's fault
jeudi 8 septembre 2022 • Duration 01:01:40
They discussed the fate of the Abraham Accords under a disinterested Biden administration and the threat of a new Iran nuclear deal. “My concern isn't whether or not the Biden administration wants to support the Abraham accords, but do they want to give $250 billion to Iran?" Furthermore, he asserts that the US is in fact the only country really pushing Iran to join the deal and provide a path to a nuclear missile.
Ep. 62: David Harsanyi: Liberal Jewish groups are the same as the Democratic party
jeudi 1 septembre 2022 • Duration 01:02:08
Harsanyi called President Joe Biden’s student loan bailout “Robin Hood in reverse.” He also said that Jewish groups' embrace of such unjust policies showed that they are “the same as the Democratic Party” and laments the rise of anti-Semitism on the left.
Ep. 61: Nathan Lewin: Is abortion more important to Jews than Judaism or Israel?
jeudi 25 août 2022 • Duration 38:38
According to Tobin, liberal Jewish groups are opposing the court’s stand due to partisan politics and their fear of allowing faith in the public square.
Lewin decried the willingness of Jewish groups to prioritize liberal social issues like abortion over the interests of the community, such as support for day schools and Israel as “degrading Judaism.” He also said that acceptance of woke ideas like critical race theory that oppose the principle of equal opportunity is dangerous for society as well as the Jews.
Ep. 60: Matt Continetti: 'The biggest threat to American support for Israel comes from the Left'
jeudi 18 août 2022 • Duration 01:01:14
The two discuss the history of conservatism, as well as the way the rise of former President Donald Trump and his populist approach to politics can be traced to trends that were part of the debate between the various strands of the movement.
While the Left takes it as a given that the Right, especially under the leadership of Trump, embraces extremism, conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism, he said that these traits exist on both ends of the political spectrum.
Continetti argued that “the biggest threat to American support for Israel, to Israel's legitimacy and I think to the success of the American Jewish community does come from the Left today and not from the Right.”
Ep. 59: Walter Russell Mead: Believing Jews control everything is a moral, intellectual deficiency
jeudi 11 août 2022 • Duration 01:08:05
He joins JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin this week to discuss how misperceptions of Jewish power are both an anti-Semitic trope and a misplaced belief in the centrality of Israel or Zionism. In fact, other nations and leaders are almost always pursuing their own interests.
Even many Jews believe that supporters of Israel influence events when the decisions of each president, including the search for the “holy grail” of Middle East peace. are motivated by domestic concerns and not either a conspiracy or an exercise in Jewish power.
Ep. 58: Batya Ungar-Sargon: 'The New York Times lied and they knew they were lying'
jeudi 4 août 2022 • Duration 01:05:23
Ungar-Sargon explained that the embrace of toxic leftist theories about race by young journalists dovetails with the desire of leading outlets like The New York Times to market itself to elites. This has led to the near-total erasure of working-class Americans and their concerns from the news pages. But it has also done the same for Jews, who are falsely classified as White oppressors.
Ep. 57: Jason Greenblatt: ‘Donald Trump was a breath of fresh air to the Arabs’
jeudi 28 juillet 2022 • Duration 01:00:05
According to Tobin, though those experts disdained Trump, his achievements were too important for President Biden to overturn them.
He’s joined by Jason Greenblatt, Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East and the author of a new memoir about his experiences that set the stage for the Abraham Accords.
Greenblatt explained the success of the Trump administration’s Middle East efforts by pointing to the way the experts “blamed Israel for just about everything” and treated the Palestinians “like children.” Trump’s amateurs discovered that the Arab states “felt abandoned by Obama” and found Trump to be “a breath of fresh air.”
