After The Pogrom” - what now for Israel and the Jewish diaspora? And for western civilisation for that matter? 

The swirling dust of conflict has brought with it significant changes to our world and yet amid Israel’s fight on seven fronts, Brendan O’Neill’s coherent methodic analysis explains what we’re witness to. 

Brendan’s not on X, you’ll only find “burntoakboy” as he’s known on Instagram “because the rest of social media is far too rough and ugly” for him.

And it’s where since October 7th 2023, he’s been ever present with stout, sometimes uncensored defences of the State of Israel.

You’ve seen him writing for Spiked Online and on TV and radio. 

But he’s no Johnny Come Lately: he’s not jumped on the Israel bandwagon.

In our first interview here on Jonny Gould’s Jewish state in 2020, Brendan compared the Jewish and non-Jewish people’s takeaways from the Second World War. 

While Europeans declared that to end all wars, we needed “happy clappy borders”, Jews on the other hand recognised that secure borders were absolutely essential to our survival. 

How right he’s proved to be. Scroll back to episode 51 for a gripping interview during the Brexit and Covid years.

But right now, recorded on this most poignant date in our recent history, it’s always a pleasure to spend time with Brendan O’Neill. Buy “After The Pogrom” here.
