Just hours after NYC Mayor Eric Adams delivered a fiery speech repeating "We Are Not Alright" expressing his support of Israel and the Jewish community of New York during one of the most challenging times since the holocaust, a Jewish man was arrested after the pro-palestinian mob attacked him for handing out fliers on the way to pick up his son from school.

is Uncle Sam's ROI (return on investment) for military support given to Israel to defend itself? Perhaps U.S. "aid" is the wrong word. Does the U.S. military industrial complex profits from Israel constantly needing to defend itself?

This thoughtful discussion with former Ambassador Yoram Ettinger is just the beginning of an important conversation that both the U.S. and Israel need to clarify to themselves, their voting public and their enemies who would be smart to think twice before attacking the Jewish state.

According to Col. Grisha Yakubovich Israel missed the opportunity to win the war against Hamas in 2007 when Israel did nothing to stop them from conquering the Gaza Strip. In this episode we deep dive on the perspective of Hamas, the Gazans and the rest of the Arabs living in Judea Samaria aka the West Bank. Col. Yakubovich spend decades in leadership positions prior to the intifadas and throughout. He served as a sort of "mayor" of Gaza from 2012 - 2016 and has since retired and works as a speaker and consultant initiative business initiatives in the Judea Samaria aka West Bank and Gaza.

This inside POV on the Gazan War illuminates a wide variety of misconceptions about Arabs living in Gaza and Judea Samaria (aka West Bank):

Simon Plosker shares his knowledge about the evolution of misreporting about Israel, speed of change in the digital age and how this evolution has created new challenges on the digital front lines in the war against lies.

Why wasn't the stabbing of a rabbi who was sitting on the steps of a synagogue immediately classified as a hate crime?

Is this similar to a random stabbing of a protestor at a BLM protest or LGBTQ parade?

What are the consequences of a hate crime classification?

Why does a hate crime classification matter?

Does the timeline make a difference?

On this episode of the Tribecast, we sit down with former Assistant District Attorney, Michael Thaler, to discuss the different factors that prosecutors will consider in determining whether or not to classify a particular crime as a hate crime. The case that catalyzed our discussion involved an assailant attacking stabbing Rabbi Shlomo Noginski in Brighton, Massachusetts eight times. Rabbi Noginski was simply sitting on the stairs of a Jewish house of prayer and religious school with children inside.
