Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Black American Playbook and Philosopher-journalist Bernard-Henri Lévy
Q: So, how do we one day break this vehicle of anti-Semitism being a legitimate cause for anti-Semitism?
By having the world admit and love Israel, as demonstrated through the Abraham Accords.
The Black American Playbook and Philosopher-journalist Bernard-Henri Lévy
Q: What do you think that is about for us as a species that we almost refuse to look at even the most recent history and learn from its lessons?
People are either ignorant of history or blind to its lessons, often prioritizing short-term interests over learning from past events.
The Black American Playbook and Philosopher-journalist Bernard-Henri Lévy
Q: What do you hope will happen from this point forward, and what do you think will happen?
I hoped for two things: the comeback of the hostages and the military defeat of Hamas, which is necessary for breaking their popularity.
The Black American Playbook and Philosopher-journalist Bernard-Henri Lévy
Q: If you were going to release the book now, two years after the start of the war instead of four months, would it still be called Israel Alone?
Yes, more than ever, as Israel is even more alone today than it was two years ago.
Jewish Traumatic Invalidation with Israeli Psychologist Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern
Q: What did you hope to accomplish with the research paper?
I aimed to help people understand their experiences, while also calling for action in mental health practices.
