Common Ground with Yuval David

The Truth About Division | Common Ground Podcast with Yuval David


Listen Later

Welcome to Common Ground, a podcast that refuses to play by the rules of manufactured outrage and tribal politics. In this powerful premiere episode, host Yuval David makes a bold confession: we're not as divided as social media, cable news, and political activists want us to believe. We're divided on purpose, and it's time to call out the forces profiting from confusion, fear, and rage.

In this powerful premiere episode, Yuval David sets the stage for Common Ground by confronting uncomfortable truths many prefer to avoid. He explains why the greatest threat to human rights isn’t disagreement — it’s extremism. He also examines how Islamist extremism, distinct from Islam itself, has been sanitized and even romanticized in Western democracies. Yuval further explores why antisemitism often serves as an early warning sign of democratic decline.

The episode also breaks down how anti-Zionism that denies Jewish self-determination crosses the line into antisemitism. Yuval exposes how powerful actors exploit empathy and weaponize language for political gain. He closes by reclaiming what “common ground” truly means — rooted in moral clarity, not relativism or fear.
