In this episode of Opinionated, I speak with Bret Stephens, who reflects on how Jews have the “honor of being hated,” a realization that struck him on October 8th during a Times Square demonstration.

We discuss how this perspective underscores the need for Jews to build resilient institutions and a strong sense of identity.

I then talk with Dan Perry about Israel’s difficult choices in the Palestinian territories, weighing the realities of Hamas, occupation, and the Palestinian Authority, and the necessity of pragmatic decisions to protect Israeli lives.

Finally, in ON ANOTHER NOTE I offer a personal commentary on the through-line that links strong Israel with a strong Jewish Diaspora, and why Israel must destroy Hamas inside Gaza.

In this episode of Opinionated, H.R. McMaster joins me to lodge his prediction on whether or not the U.S. will launch a strike against Iran. He also warned against isolationism, and praised the Israeli national security mindset.

Next, retired IDF General Noam Tibon discussed his decision to enter the Israeli political fray and to join Yair Lapids Yesh Atid party.

Finally, I tackled those overseas voices who continue the absurd call for Israel to enter into negotiations toward a Two State Solution.

Enjoy!
