  • Faulty Critique of Hostage Deal

    This guy claims the hostage release deal is bad because there are terrorists being released from prisons. He cites the release of Yahya Sinwar as proof that it’s a bad idea to release prisoners. The problem is that it is the only way to get the hostages home, and it won’t make Israelis and Jews much less safe. Everyone hates the Jews, and there are millions of terrorists training to attack Israel all over the world. More are now released in exchange for ending the war and getting the remaining h... more

  • God??

    I keep hearing about God, trust in God. I think you're delusional. Where was God on Oct 7. Where was he during the Holocaust in Europe. There is no God looking after Jews. There's a force in the universe but stop personifying it as if it is protecting the Jews. It's delusional.

  • 18 Aug 2025 episode a SHANDA (shameful), not truth. Dangerous & needs to be removed -now.

    The Episode from 2 or 3 days ago, Lenny’s Tanach…” is an absolute Shanda (shameful) and is a slander of Judaism and the Jewish people.

    It gravely misrepresents the message of Torah and Judaism in general, promotes ethnic cleansing and wrongly claims that Torah is nothing than recounting of war after war. The episode is grossly supremacist, promotes the teachings of a “rabbi” who was listed as a terrorist by the Israeli government itself, and possibly by the U.S. and European Departments of Sta... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

50th Anniversary of The Rescue At Entebbe, Operation Yonatan, The Greatest Military Rescue in History: Interview with IDF General Matan Vilnai - Alan Skorski Reports
Q: What goes through your mind during the flight toward Entebbe, as you and your team are en route to execute a mission of this magnitude?
I focused on the mission and the state of Israel and its hostages, maintaining discipline and readiness, while acknowledging the gravity of the task and the personal implications of the operation for the crew and my fellow soldiers.
The Ideological War Against Israel Is A War Against GD: Interview with Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow, Luke Moon - Alan Skorski Reports
Q: What changes do you advocate for in how anti-Semitism is defined and addressed politically?
I advocate a definition that centers on observable behaviors and statements against Jews, which makes it easier to hold individuals and groups accountable and to build a practical framework for policy and law.
The Ideological War Against Israel Is A War Against GD: Interview with Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow, Luke Moon - Alan Skorski Reports
Q: How has the situation for Christians in the Middle East shaped your activism and messaging?
It clarified for me the urgency of linking Christian persecution with support for Israel, and it underscored how anti-Christian actions often intersect with anti-Israel sentiment, reinforcing the need for coordinated outreach and awareness campaigns.
The Ideological War Against Israel Is A War Against GD: Interview with Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow, Luke Moon - Alan Skorski Reports
Q: What is the main focus of your work concerning anti-Semitism and how does it relate to Christian support for Israel?
The focus is on combating anti-Semitism by addressing both the left and certain right-wing narratives, highlighting how Christians can support Israel through principled advocacy and direct action, including redefining what constitutes anti-Semitism and strengthening institutional and grassroots responses.
HOW HAMAS TARGETED COLLEGE STUDENTS AND WON THE PROPAGANADA WAR: Interview With Warren Kinsella - Alan Skorski Reports
