  • Amanda Borshel-Dan and Lazer Berman are idiots

    I really want to like this podcast as I have always liked David Horowitz since he was with the Jerusalem Post. However, the usual host, Borshel-Dan, is always fishing interviewees for excuses for settler violence, police excesses, and Donald Trump’s behavior, and never misses a chance to brag about her children serving in the military. TOI itself is flawed because of its refusal, unlike Haaretz, to hire any journalists to report on what is going on in Gaza. Lazar Berman, their military specialis... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alan Shatter: Palestine 'cult' endangers future of Irish Jews
Q: Did you personally experience anti-Semitism or anti-Israel attitudes in Ireland as you rose in politics?
He describes occasional antisemitic remarks from a small number of individuals earlier in his career, but notes that hostility intensified with the rise of Sinn Fein's influence and during the more recent anti-Israel activism, especially in public life and in Parliament.
A Mandatory Listen - Micah Goodman: The one issue that unites America's radical left and right
Q: What is 'conceptia' and why is it important for Israelis to understand this lens when assessing the US-Israel dynamic?
Conceptia refers to a fixed cognitive lens that distorts how information is interpreted; acknowledging it helps Israelis see through biased narratives, prepare for potential shifts, and avoid misreading both American politics and their own strategic realities.
A Mandatory Listen - Micah Goodman: The one issue that unites America's radical left and right
Q: Micah, how do you define the current US political fault lines in relation to Israel and what you see as the main driver behind both the left and the right's approach to Israel?
The left sees Israel as a manifestation of past American sins and seeks a critical reassessment of American policy, while the right views Israel as a barometer of national strength and as a proxy for American policies; both parties, however, focus on external symbols rather than practical governance, complicating a cohesive strategy for Israel.
A Mandatory Listen with Haviv Rettig Gur: Is the IDF justified in picking off Hamas terrorists?
Q: What is the role of political processes in achieving lasting peace beyond military actions?
The guest emphasizes that eradicating Hamas militarily is insufficient without a credible political horizon for Gazans; without political reform and viable governance, any military victory risks being unsustainable and inviting future conflict.
A Mandatory Listen with Haviv Rettig Gur: Is the IDF justified in picking off Hamas terrorists?
Q: How has the approach to morality within the IDF evolved compared to the past?
The guest notes a shift from earlier battlefield norms to more explicit consideration of legal and ethical frameworks, including the obligation not to carry out illegal orders and the importance of ensuring actions align with domestic law and moral standards.
