We do a little bit of everything on this one, including ask 'Can a woman find a husband if she has ever been photographed?'

Here's an article that is relevant to our discussion of the ADL: https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/emmaia-gelman-anti-defamation-league/

Closing in on 100 episodes! This one is pretty packed. I'm sick, so the editing is haphazard.

We talk about Hamza Yusuf working with the Trump Administration, then we go on to discuss the outcome of Pittsburgh's mayoral primary and why a forceful stance on Gaza should be a litmus test for progressive politicians. We close by briefly discussing the shooting that happened in DC last week, and unexpectedly veer into an update on The West Wing.

PLEASE leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to our show!

We talk about a lot here:

• India & Pakistan warring in Kashmir
• Trump's Middle East tour and why leftists shouldn't be so quick to praise him for "sidelining Israel"
• Kanye
• Grok's obsession with white genocide and Holocaust denial
• Thomas Friedman's beautiful tribute to Joe Biden

Yasmine lets Ahmed ramble about Dave Portnoy for 20 minutes. Mostly we just build a case that Dave (and other rich elites) seem less concerned with actually existing anti-semitism, and more concerned with disciplining those who they want to control.

Glad to be back after a little break! We catch up on life. Yasmine gives us an update about the Facebook tell-all story 'Careless People', we discuss a Supreme Court case in which a Muslim family joined two Christian families to ask the Court to protect their kids from... books?

Lastly, we discuss Ruth Wisse's column in the WSJ titled 'Harvard is an Islamist Outpost'. It seems like you can just email the WSJ opinion editor and it just gets automatically published. Pretty neat!

Addy Lord from Pittsburgh's Not On Our Dime returns with an update about the ballot referendum initiative, and how Zionist groups in Pittsburgh (including elected officials) rallied to keep the measure off the ballot.

This is an important episode for those who want to understand how to start similar initiatives in their cities.

We're back! This is a pretty packed episode. We discuss Mubarak coin, John Fetterman, and how things are going over in NEOM before Yasmine takes us through some updates on the continued targeting/deportation of students.

We discuss episode one of the Saudi funded Ramadan series Muawiya.
