jeudi 8 août 2024 • Duration 46:16

Virtually everyone these days seems to believe that we are currently living through "unprecedented" times.

However, in his latest book, "Domestic Enemies," Israeli-born journalist Daniel Greenfield contends that the United States has already experienced much of the imbalance and unrest we are witnessing today.

So what can conservatives learn and apply to the coming elections?

In this episode of "Think Twice," Greenfield and JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin touch on some important lessons that cannot be ignored if one wishes to stem the tide of regressive leftism.

Ep. 53: Yoram Hazony: 'Woke neo-Marxism won’t stop until it destroys everything'

jeudi 23 juin 2022 • Duration 01:13:42

In this week’s episode, JNS editor-in-chief discusses the debate among conservatives over how to respond to woke Marxist cultural indoctrination and whether Yoram Hazony’s new book on Conservatism provides the answer needed to defend both liberty and Western civilization.

He’s joined by Hazony who warns that “woke Neo-Marxism” is carrying out a ”perpetual revolution indefinitely until it simply destroys everything.” He extols the virtues of personally leading “a conservative life” in which faith plays a central role and explains how his template for tradition and religion-based politics gives an answer to the left that liberalism has failed to provide.

Ep. 52: Amy Wax: 'Affirmative action is a club for enforcing woke orthodoxy'

jeudi 16 juin 2022 • Duration 01:07:35

In this week’s episode, JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin discusses how to cancel culture is spreading from college campuses to the rest of society, including journalism and even football.

He’s joined by University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax who discusses efforts to cancel her for her statements supporting Western bourgeois values and opposing multiculturalism and affirmative action. She points out that affirmative action is being used as a club to silence dissent against toxic woke ideas.

Ep. 51: Lana Melman & How the BDS Movement is a Permission Slip for Anti-Semitism

jeudi 9 juin 2022 • Duration 32:34

In this week’s episode, JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin discusses how a “mapping project” undertaken by BDS supporters in Boston targets Jewish institutions throughout the state of Massachusetts, including synagogues and schools. He explains that this illustrates how the movement to boycott Israel is motivated by “pure unadulterated hate.”

He is joined by Lana Melman, CEO of Liberate Inc. and author of a new book, Artists Under Fire, about the way the BDS works in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Melman discusses how the movement attacks artists who go to Israel and intimidates others to avoid the topic.

jeudi 2 juin 2022 • Duration 01:02:53

Ep. 49: Maurice Hirsch: There is no real difference between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas

jeudi 26 mai 2022 • Duration 01:07:36

In this week's episode, JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin discusses how progressive Democrats are seeking to undermine the U.S.-Israel alliance and what the Democratic primaries mean for Israel. Furthermore, he explains that the war being waged on AIPAC by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) may end up dooming any hopes for bipartisanship in Israel.

He’s joined by Maurice Hirsch of Palestinian Media Watch who points out that the hate being fomented by the Palestinian Authority and its refusal to recognize Israel’s legitimacy effectively means there is “no difference” between the P.A. and Hamas.

Ep. 48: Ben Domenech: Mass shootings are a problem of evil, not politics

jeudi 19 mai 2022 • Duration 01:04:58

In this episode JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin discusses why the effort to tie mainstream Republicans and conservatives to the Buffalo mass shooting isn’t just wrong; it’s a smear that does more to undermine democracy and to break American society than anything done by an extremist.

He’s joined by Fox News contributor Ben Domenech who says the problem behind mass shootings is “evil”, not politics. Domenech also analyzes the need for a stronger foreign and defense policy in the wake of the war in Ukraine and the need for Big Tech to uphold free speech.

Ep. 47: Danny Danon & How an Anti-semitic UN Can’t Be Wished Away

jeudi 12 mai 2022 • Duration 55:51

In this episode, JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin discusses how despite the UN's lack of legitimacy and clear anti-Israel bias, it pays for Israel not to ignore it. The growing support for intersectional ideology and critical race theory on the American left fueled in part by the UN's 'Apartheid State' lie, will eat away at U.S. support for Israel if not combated.
He is joined by Former Israel Ambassador to the UN Danny Dannon who discusses his first-hand experiences being in the lion's den, his new book and what can be done to defend Israel in and outside the UN.
