In this powerful episode, Mike and Laureen break down a heated debate where Ben Shapiro confronts Mohammad Hijab and Piers Morgan on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Citing the reality of hostages in Gaza, Hamas' stranglehold on the region and repeated Palestinian rejections of statehood, Shapiro defends Israel's right to exist and dismantles the narrative blaming Israel for the suffering in Gaza.

The hosts emphasize the urgent need to speak truthfully about what's happening on the ground — because no one else will do it for the Jewish community. They share an impassioned clip of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach addressing a Muslim audience at Oxford Union, offering a bold and respectful defense of Israel.

Mike and Laureen also raise concerns about rising antisemitism and threats to Jewish students on college campuses and they urge listeners to amplify the truth with facts — and not stay silent.

They close the episode with wishes for a happy and sweet Jewish New Year.
