May 02, 2024 Where the Fish Pisses
One of my favorite Hebrew expressions is eifo hadag mashtin – “where the fish pisses.” Israelis use it to describe a situation in which a particular action or behavior comes back to harm you. This expression mirrors how Israelis perceive the current anti-Israel protests unfolding on college campuses in North America. Many believe that these universities, communities, and even the US Democratic party may eventually regret their support of radical Islamic fundamentalists, particularly Hamas.

Today, we’ll explore three narratives that illustrate the concept of well-meaning actions leading to unintended consequences. Additionally, I'll delve into the significant news stories from Israel and how these events impact the lives of ordinary Israelis. Plus, I'll be addressing your questions.

April 26, 2024 In Every Generation
As a child, I attended Camp Ramah in Wisconsin with Jon Polin. Today, Jon’s son, Hersh Polin Goldberg, has become the face of over 100 Israeli hostages still held in Gaza. When Hamas released a video featuring Hersh earlier this week, it resonated deeply within Israeli society.
Today on Inside Israel, we’ll delve into why Hamas chose to release this video, focusing on Hersh, and why they did so at this particular moment. We'll also discuss how Israelis are observing this Passover, which is markedly different from previous years. Additionally, we'll explore the prospects for an Israeli incursion into Rafah and the potential for an upcoming conflict with Hezbollah.

April 19, 2024 “Who Knows 133?”: In Retrospect
With 133 Israeli hostages still in Gaza, next week’s Passover seder will be unlike any other. In today’s episode, we talk about ways to make Israel and the plight of the hostages part of our Seder – from setting an empty chair and plate at the table to tying a yellow ribbon on each kiddush cup and reciting the Acheinu prayer for hostages at the table. We also discuss Israel’s so-far-non-response response to last week’s unprecedented Iranian talk on Israeli soil and a groundbreaking discovery by Tel Aviv University researchers about the link between heart attacks and the growth of cancer. As always, you can see the video recording of this episode at www.joelchasnoff.com/podcast. That’s also where you’ll find a link to download the Passover 5784 PDF Supplement Joel created with his Israel 201 co-author Benji Lovitt.

April 15, 2024 Special Edition: Iran Attacks
Last night, Iran unleashed an unprecedented attack on Israel. In the end, more than 99% of the more than 300 drones and cruise and ballistic missiles were intercepted before reaching Israel. But many questions still remain. For example: Did Iran truly intend to inflict damage on Israeli military and civilian targets, or was the attack merely symbolic? How Israel respond? And what are Israelis talking about today, 24 hours later? I’ll explain how Israelis prepared for the imminent attack and what they’re saying now that it’s over. If, indeed, it is over – many in Israel believe that the conflict is just beginning.

April 11, 2024 Sweet Little Lies
In today’s episode, we delve into the topic of lying and lies. We'll explore the everyday lies Israelis tell themselves to get going in the mornings, the growing dissatisfaction with the current prime minister over perceived dishonesty, and the frustration with the widespread blame on Israel for the Gaza conflict, despite Hamas's role in initiating it on October 7th. We'll also discuss Israeli perspectives on the ongoing PR battle, evolving attitudes towards hostage negotiations, and how we're planning to celebrate Passover during these challenging times. Remember, you can catch the video recording of this episode at www.joelchasnoff.com/podcast.

April 02, 2024 This Time It’s Personal
How and why the war in Gaza and ongoing hostage crisis aren’t merely news events for the average Israeli, but are so deeply personal; no more funding for Yeshivas whose students don’t serve in the IDF; remembering fallen Egoz soldier Sivan Weil z’’l.

April 01, 2024 Explained: Daniel Kahneman z’’l
In our first “Explained” episode of Inside Israel, we’ll talk about Dr. Daniel Kahneman, z’’l. In 2002, Kahneman won the Nobel Prize in economics for his work with longtime collaborator Amos Teversky at Hebrew U.
