  • Hamas's HUGE MISTAKE w/Iddo Netanyahu (they didn't see this coming)

    Hamas's atrocities on Oct. 7, 2023 didn’t just murder civilians—it obliterated the last vestiges of Israeli public support for a Palestinian state.

    Former senior Israeli government official Danny Seaman is joined in this episode by Iddo Netanyahu to discuss how the events of Oct. 7, 2023 triggered a revolution in Israeli consciousness. Once a widely debated political solution, the idea of a two-state agreement is now viewed by most Israelis as a security threat—no longer a path to peace, but a road to destruction. Backed by recent polls showing over 87% of Jewish Israelis rejecting the two-state concept, Seaman argues that the illusion of peace through concessions has been permanently shattered.
