Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 10 ratings
  • Excellent information

    The information is up to the minute and appreciated. Sometimes the guests microphones are not clear enough and it is a strain to hear them. But overall, excellent.

  • Constant unexpected, screaming ads

    If you enjoy hearing one of the speakers interrupted mid-sentence by a car dealer advertisement blasting at twice the volume of the podcast—and having this happen repeatedly—by all means this is the show for you. If not, look elsewhere. It’s really a shame—the content is interesting, but the absolute disrespect these people have for their listeners makes the podcast unlistenable.

    The finest daily Israeli analysis in podcast world. IDSF is a singularly great Israeli organization supporting G-d, Torah and Am Yisroel and Eretz Yisroel. R. Moshe is an excellent moderator and Gen. Avivi is an inspired leader. All right thinking Jews and Gentiles should subscribe and support.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Divide Lebanon, Conquer Gaza - Israel’s ”Unthinkable” Plan
Q: Do we have any track record of trying to get involved in Lebanese internal politics that bred long-term success?
The guest explains that Israel's involvement in Lebanon has historical precedent, notably around the PLO, but cautions that past interventions produced mixed outcomes and that success depended on careful, context-specific handling rather than broad, unscripted action.
Crossing the Litani — Israel’s Race to Stop Hezbollah’s Deadliest New Weapon
Q: Is Israel using drones to defend its own soldiers and to strike Hezbollah, given Hezbollah's drone use?
Israel employs drones for surveillance and defense, with limited offensive drone use discussed as an option; the focus remains on counter-drone measures like Iron Dome, shotguns, and exploring laser tech while maintaining boundaries to minimize civilian harm.
Crossing the Litani — Israel’s Race to Stop Hezbollah’s Deadliest New Weapon
Q: What can you share with us about the threat level of these drones in the north, in Lebanon?
The threat is highly bothersome with daily casualties, but it is not a strategic threat to Israel, and we can confront it through a combination of geographic denial, buffer zones, and targeted interception, while continuing to develop better detection and engagement methods.
If Israel’s Committing Genocide, Why Is Turkey Fueling Israeli Tanks?
Q: Did Erdogan's calls for destroying Israel happen as widely reported, and how should we assess such rhetoric?
There are bombastic comments from Ankara, similar to other political rhetoric, and the evidence lies in concrete actions and policy rather than isolated quotes; Erdogan's rhetoric is weighed against actual policy and outcomes.
If Israel’s Committing Genocide, Why Is Turkey Fueling Israeli Tanks?
Q: How did relations break down between Turkey and Israel, and where does that stand now?
Relations cooled after past reconciliations, with key moments including Erdogan's discomfort over Gaza actions, the Davos incident, and divergent views on Hamas; reconciliation did occur in the 2010s but October 7th strained ties, and Turkey remains cautious about re-engagement given regional realities.
