In this episode of Opinionated I speak with Col. Richard Kemp about a brewing civil war in Britain, U.S.–Iran negotiations, and the potential for renewed fighting in Gaza.

I then talk with Professor Daphne Richemond-Barak about a “silent academic boycott” targeting Israeli and Jewish scholars throughout the U.S. and Europe. 

Finally, I offer a personal commentary on the need for American Jewish communities to fortify themselves and their facilities amid rising antisemitism.

In this episode of Opinionated, H.R. McMaster joins me to lodge his prediction on whether or not the U.S. will launch a strike against Iran. He also warned against isolationism, and praised the Israeli national security mindset. 

Next, retired IDF General Noam Tibon discussed his decision to enter the Israeli political fray and to join Yair Lapids Yesh Atid party. 

Finally, I tackled those overseas voices who continue the absurd call for Israel to enter into negotiations toward a Two State Solution.

Enjoy!

Opinionated is my new weekly T.V. show, broadcast every Thursday on I-24 News. 

Each episode features pointed commentary, robust discussion and hard-hitting interviews. 

In this episode, I’m joined by U.S. Senator John Fetterman who weighs in on his steadfast support of Israel, his views on whether another strike on Iran is coming and what the future of the Democratic party looks like. 

Professor Alan Dershowitz wasted no words excoriating several American universities for allowing unchecked anti-Semistism to spread throughout too many campuses, the collapse of the two-state paradigm, and why Israeli strength remains the foundation for any future peace.

I close out the show with “ON ANOTHER NOTE” — my personal reflection on Israel’s wounded and fallen and our responsibility to defend their legacy.

In this Situational Briefing, I break down Israel’s next moves in Gaza as Hamas tests the Trump-brokered ceasefire. 

I explain that Israel is likely to track and eliminate terrorists trapped in tunnels, why Hamas is pushing beyond the “yellow line,” and reflect on the legacy and resignation of one of Israel’s top strategists, Minister Ron Dermer.

In this episode of the show, I’m honored to be joined by Gal Gilboa Dalal, the older brother of Guy Gilboa Dalal, who was abducted by Hamas from the Nova Festival on October 7, 2023, and recently returned home along with 19 other living hostages.

The MirYam Institute spearheaded Gal's unrelenting campaign  to bring his brother home, bringing him to speak to communities, elected officials overseas and international media outlets.

Here, just days after Guy's release, Gal shares what that struggle entailed, how his brother is recovering and how he sees the world after living through this unimaginable trauma.

Special thanks to Rozita Pnini for her ongoing work and dedication to the hostage families since this dark chapter began.
