Our nation's 2024 spring semester was rife with college demonstrations, encampments, and protests that disrupted freedom of assembly, movement, and thought for Jewish students across America. At the heart of the college social justice movement is intolerance for freedom of thought, demanding an anti-American, anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish agenda be adopted by institutions of higher education. Hussein Mansour joins Dominique to discuss the ideological roots of the growing revolutionary radicalism across the United States.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour shows in Vienna were canceled because of a planned ISIS terror attack. One of the suspects was a 19-year-old who had recently pledged his allegiance to ISIS after being radicalized on TikTok. The thwarted attack was symbolic of Islamism's rejection of Western values, and Western women.

On this week's episode of The Philos Project Podcast, Dominique is joined by Hannah Garces to discuss the clash of civilizations between the West and the Islamic world as support for Islamic fundamentalism becomes more widespread. Hannah speaks to the radicalization of Gen Z on TikTok, and the implications this will have on the elections, college campuses this fall, and the West at large.

The international attention Swift's concert cancelations garnered starkly contrasts the media's silence over the horrific massacre at the Nova Music Festival on 10/7. This week's episode is about more than a canceled concert, it is about the war on the West, the radicalization of our youth, and rampant antisemitism in the media.

Why are people in social and political life motivated to downplay or deny the Holocaust?

In a recent video posted on her YouTube channel, Candace Owens argues Hitler was not the most evil political figure of the 20th century. She further contends the U.S. education system fixates on Hitler, the Jews, and the Holocaust as a propaganda tactic taken out of the Soviet Union's playbook.

Jesse Tannetta, a Holocaust educator with the Anti-Defamation League, joins Dominique in this episode of the Philos Project Podcast. Jesse not only corrects Candace Owens and her revisionist history but emphasizes the importance of Holocaust education in a post-10/7 world with rampant antisemitism.

What is the history of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and why is it strategic? With the growing popularity of isolationism and neo-Marxism in response to the war in Gaza and the looming U.S. elections, terms like the "U.S. industrial war complex" have come to vilify our robust industrial military base and alliances abroad as "evil." For neo-Marxists, the strength of the U.S. military abroad is a form of neo-colonialism. Isolationists strongly believe that foreign aid abroad is a form of government corruption undermining the America First policy.

This week, Dominique is joined by Philos' Philip Dolitsky to discuss the history and necessity of a robust U.S.-Israel military alliance. The United States must maintain its strength abroad in a changing world order. A strong relationship with Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, has never been more important. While not evident at the surface, Israel is intrinsically linked to America's security interests. A proper "America First" policy agenda begins with U.S. strength abroad.

Does AIPAC act as a mechanism for Israeli interference in U.S. politics?

The accusation AIPAC represents a foreign entity interfering in our domestic politics is not an old one; anti-Zionist/anti-Israel politicians on both sides of the political aisle have peddled this narrative for years. The controversy surrounding AIPAC has come to light following 10/7 and with the rise in popularity of neo-isolationism on the conservative right.

Dominique is joined by Isaac Woodward to fact-check popular claims about AIPAC and respond to the anti-Semitic undertones in the growing conservative movement opposed to Israel. At the forefront of the neo-isolationist movement on the Right is Tucker Carlson; he recently interviewed Congressman Thomas Massie on his strong isolationist policy opinion.

Join Dominique and Isaac to discuss the claims made by Rep. Massie surrounding AIPAC's influence and tactics in punishing elected officials who oppose a pro-Israel agenda.

Is AIPAC a tool of the Jewish conspiracy or a tool used by anti-Zionists to vilify Israel and the Jewish American population?

Does the U.S. public care about Israel and, more broadly, domestic and international terrorism?

The recent U.S. presidential debates highlighted the diverging policy positions of former President Trump and incumbent President Biden regarding Israel and the Middle East. Recent polling shows that while concerns over terrorism and protecting U.S. interests abroad rank as the top priorities for voters' foreign policy issues, Israel does not.

Dominique is joined by Garrett Exner, Adjunct Fellow at The Hudson Institute, to discuss Trump and Biden's Middle East policies and the possible outcomes for regional stability come November 5th.

The top priorities for voters are preventing the spread of weapons of mass, taking measures to protect the U.S. from terrorist attacks, maintaining U.S. military advantage abroad, and limiting Chinese and Russian influence.

These concerns are intrinsically linked to the health of the historic U.S.-Israel bilateral relationship.

Which candidate is best positioned to address these concerns?
