  • Love this show!

    Thank you for all your incredible interviews, & detailed analysis about things impacting our people. Hoping you’ll do an episode about the NYT’s recent coverage justification, along with the libel suit RE Israeli’s using dogs to violate Hamas prisoners.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Fiction Will Remember October 7 - with Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff
Q: How did you approach the portrayal of the Arab world and international audiences in light of ongoing conflict?
We aimed to include diverse perspectives, showing sympathizers and critics alike, and to present the complexities of international reactions, while ensuring the story remained anchored in true events and human experiences.
How Fiction Will Remember October 7 - with Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff
Q: Lior, what was the hardest decision you guys had to make about what to show and what not to show?
We wrestled with how graphic to be and where to draw the line between reality and depiction, choosing not to show certain brutalities while still conveying the gravity and trauma of October 7th through suggestive, respectful portrayals.
Is Israel’s Global Standing on The (Israeli) Ballot? - with Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal
Q: Nadav, how do you explain the shift in attitude towards Israel in the US, and what are the implications for Netanyahu's visit to the UN?
Nadav explains that US public opinion has become more complex, with younger voters and Democrats increasingly skeptical of Israel or pressuring for changes in policy, and that American political dynamics are being influenced by broader trends toward nationalism and anti-establishment sentiments. He notes potential meetings with Trump and the political calculations around maintaining support while managing domestic concerns.
Is Israel’s Global Standing on The (Israeli) Ballot? - with Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal
Q: Okay, Amit, I want to start with you. We're taping this on Wednesday, but this episode drops on the day that Prime Minister Netanyahu will be addressing the UN. So I guess my first question is, what do you expect to hear from him? And then I want to talk about who you think he's speaking to.
Amit predicts the speech will be aimed at swing voters in Israel, emphasizing security and diplomacy while signaling a tougher stance against perceived adversaries, with a focus on how the Netanyahu government positions itself following October 7. He suggests the UN podium will be used to frame the broader electoral narrative rather than to sway hard domestic opinion in a sweeping way.
Sneak Peek: Amit Segal on why Israel can't address its long-term problems, and more...
Q: What will it take for the Israeli electorate to wake up to what a big problem they have here?
Amit suggests that the problem stems from a combination of domestic political dynamics and shifting attitudes towards engagement in global affairs, implying that meaningful change would require both stronger political coalitions and a reorientation of priorities toward long-term national interests.
