Shoulder to Shoulder

Doug and Pesach sit down with Rabbi Elie Mischel, Director of Education at Israel365. Rabbi Mischel, who recently emigrated to Israel with his family, talks about that journey, how the bond between Jews and Christians at this moment in history must be understood through a Biblical lens, and what's in store for Isrsel365 in the months ahead. And where does the Bible seemingly predict the current war with Hamas? Listen in and find out.

Why did the October 7th massacre happen when it did? Did Hamas jump the gun and disobey a direct order from Iran - and if so, what was Iran waiting for? To what degree are Iran and Hezbollah helping Hamas? Does Israel's war with Hamas have more to do with Iran and Saudi Arabia than anything else? Join Pesach and Doug for a deep dive into these questions and more as they have a conversation with Dr. Mordechai Kedar, an expert in the Arab and Muslim world from Bar-Ilan University.

Pesach and Doug sit down with investigative journalist Lee Smith to discuss media, and the ways that even intelligent observers often miss what is really happening behind the scenes. They also discuss some of the most important stories in the news, from Israel's war against Hamas, to Russia, to the upcoming elections in the United States. Lee is one of the most credentialed and sophisticated observers around, so don't miss this incredible episode.

We all know how the war in Gaza started, but how far will it spread before it ends? Pesach and Doug sit down with old friend Elliot Chodoff to discuss what Israel is going to do next in Gaza, and whether a war with Hezbollah is likely to take place. Elliott also gives an honest assessment of the progress made in Gaza, why Hezbollah has been limiting its strikes against Israel, what Iran is up to, and more. Plus: two optometrists with a passion for protecting soldiers discuss ways that you can help save the eyesight of Israelis on the front lines.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Knesset Member Ohad Tal and get to know this relatively new member of Israel's parliament. In the conversation they hit on all the big issues facing the world after October 7th, including the way to view Hamas and the rest of Gaza's population, and what to do after the war is won. Is a two state solution viable? What should happen with all the Palestinian refugees from Gaza? The MK's answers are passionate and direct so you are going to want to listen closely as one of the leaders of Israel shares his heart with us.

Pesach flies solo as he attends Turning Point USA's AmericaFest in Phoenix AZ. He sits down with Ava Chen, a representative of the New Federal State of China, a group of Chinese expats and dissidents who are working to raise awareness about the atrocities committed by the Chinese Communist Party against the Chinese people and the Western world. After laying out the history of this evil communist regime, Ava shares some disturbing information regarding the CCP's involvement with Israel's enemies. Listen in for an important perspective that too many people in the West have never been exposed to.

Pesach and Doug interview Michael Freund, a columnist for the Jerusalem Post and former Communications Director for the Netanyahu administration. As the conversation progresses they look at what will happen with Gaza moving forward, as well as how the world is responding to the war between Israel and Hamas. They also investigate the Biblical parallels to today's war, including Abraham's "original sin" of giving Gaza away for peace, and the 2005 attempt by Israel to do the very same thing. In both instances the next generation had to pay the price to conquer the land again.

Doug and Pesach discuss the worldwide cultural and political alignments that have developed in response to October 7th and the Israel-Hamas war. Are Israel's friends changing?

Plus: We get an update on the progress of the war from the IDF spokesman's office.
