Inside Israel

Two photos, one in Gaza and one in Beirut, marked loudly and decisively the fate of tyrants.

In the last 2 weeks Israel has shocked, awed and prevailed over our enemies. Iran reacted by shooting 181 ballistic missiles at Israel. The coming days, weeks, present a real chance of reshaping the Middle East.

Rift or unity? The hostage situation brought to light two values that cannot co-exist. One must be chosen over the other. Pidyon Shvuyim, the release of captives or Jewish self-defense in the face of Nazi like ideology.

A strategic document, presented to Israel's National Security Council and War Cabinet, stands as the first real attempt to bring upon the imperative change of Gaza after Hamas. Co-author Prof. Danny Orbach, will tell us about it.

Israel’s preemptive strike caught Hezbollah by surprise. In less than 20 minutes 270 targets holding thousands of rockets, missiles, and UAVs were destroyed. Listen to episode #74

"The networks in Iran are full of hatred for Israel, but the Iranian street speaks differently” Dr. Thamar E. Gindin, an Iranist, illuminates unheard voices in Iran.

A serious and lethal strike on Israel could end up in the devastation Iran and Lebanon. Iran calls the shots. Will they back down?

On the brink of a regional all out war. Iran and Hezbollah have been put to the test. In the coming hours, or days, events will unfold.

In this episode I’ll ask a difficult question; Who will be better for Israel, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?

Muhmmad Deif, the most important on the ground Hamas terrorist, is no longer with us. How did Israel locate Deif and his clan? How did he elude Israel for 30 years? Why is Hamas denying his death? Who’s next to be eliminated?

What can we do to combat antisemitism? Richard Friedman, a long time prominent Jewish leader and an award winning journalist, will educate us.

Is war with Lebanon imminent? Israel will need to decide soon what to do with Hezbollah and Lebanon.

Two brothers went out to battle on Oct. 7. One was killed, his body held by Hamas. The other was injured. Their father, Rabbi Doron Peretz will tell us their stories.

In 2014, 10 years prior to Oct. 7, one of Israel’s most prominent journalists, Ben Dror Yamini, published a book “The Industry of Lies” exposing the brutal lies of world wide academia and media. Listen to his interview.

In this episode you’ll hear the inside story of the amazing hostage rescue that brought Noa, Almog, Andre and Shlomi home.

President Biden's speech left Israelis confused. Is it an American or an Israeli plan? Will Israeli hostages return home? Is this the end of the war? Dr. Dan Schueftan of Haifa University will provide us with a dose of reality.

In this episode we will discuss Hamas’s fraud when supposedly accepting a ceasefire and hostage release. I’ll also speak of the bear witness day at the Gaza Envelope area.

Israel has taken the Rafah Crossing. Most Israeli experts say it should have been taken long ago. So then why did Israel hesitate? Why are so many countries opposed? Why is President Biden taking such a strong stand? What will Israel do? To answer these questions and more I’ve invited Professor and Res. Colonel Gabi Siboni.

In this episode we’ll discuss 3 topics; Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran, major confrontations between the IDF and the hesitant political leadership, a new battlefront called deep fake or fakeland.

On April 14 Israel and its allies made history. The Israeli air defense systems went up against the largest barrage of missiles and UAVs faced by any country at one time. 99% were shot down. The barrage was no less than a declaration of war. How will Israel react?

Oct. 7 is and will forever be engraved in our hearts and minds. Almost equally shocking was October 8 outside of Israel, in the form of anti semitic massive demonstrations. Where is this immense hatred coming from? What can be done to repel it? Professor Edieal Pinker of Yale University gives us unique insights.

In this episode I’ll discuss two main issues; The tragedy of the death of 7 aid workers in northern Gaza, and what Israeli ethics of war. And two, the current threat coming from Iran after important personnel in Iran’s military leadership were eliminated in Syria.

Will the prolonged war in Gaza continue to hamper US Israel relations? Are US Israel relations at a watershed? Come November, will Biden remain president or will Trump Who’s better for Israel, Biden or Trump? In this episode we will hear from the experts.

In this episode I will tell you about how Israeli forces used a complex diversion tactic that caught hundreds of terrorists in the Shifa Hospital. I also reached out to Israeli highschool students, we will hear what they have to say. Finally, you’ll hear about a fascinating Palestinian poll.

Roughly 91% of all Haredi Jews do not enlist in the IDF, while roughly 88% of the rest of the Jewish kids do. Why are they so insisting on not joining the IDF and defend Israel?   What are they so fearful of?

In this episode we will hear from Matan, a 23 year old reserve soldier, who just concluded his service inside Gaza. Also, Ramadan is upon us and is potentially an explosive time.

Since Oct. 7 the national mood of Israeli society has been like a roller coaster. The majority of Israelis had not experienced a national tragedy of this magnitude. I reached out to accomplished colleagues and friends that know the Israeli mindset well asking them about Israeli society post Oct. 7

How did Israeli special operations forces succeed in extracting safely two hostages in the most densely populated area of Rafah, infested with terrorists? Why are Israelis not “buying” the new Biden peace plan?

In this episode I’d like to take a deeper look into the IDF, Shin Bet and Mossad’s ability to obtain crucial intelligence information.

In one of the tunnels an official Hamas document was located by IDF soldiers detailing instructions for psychological warfare against the Israeli public. Also, It is clear to all, most of all the countries that froze their funding, that UNRWA's activity for the "Palestinian refugees" is at best destructive. So what is the alternative?

Israel knows, and all military experts agree, that the most important component of eliminating Hamas’s power involves taking one road situated on the border between Gaza and Egypt. It is called the Philadelphi Road! This will allow Israel to close the Hamas tunnels in the area, limit the flow of major armaments and prevent the terrorists from escaping the Gaza Strip.  So why hasn’t it happened yet? Why is Israel hesitating?

Israel’s strongest and most challenging enemy is not Hamas. It is by far the Hezbollah terror organization, located in Lebanon, backed by Iran. Who are they? And what do they want? What are their goals? What are they willing to do to achieve those goals? What are their weaknesses? How do we deter them? How do we defeat them?

In this episode i’d like to tell you about the South African lawsuit against Israel, claiming that Israel is committing Genocide in Gaza. The case is heard at the International Court of Justice in Hague. But first, I will give an update on the fighting.

Just 2 days after new years, 2024, Salah al-Aaruri, the # 2 leader of Hamas was targeted and killed. The targeted killing was attributed to Israel. What is targeted Killing? Are targeted killings moral? Is it allowed by international law? Listen to the episode

In this episode we will take a tour of Middle East Narratives in relation to the Oct. 7 horrific barbarian attack by Hamas. The Iranian and Turkish narrative, the Egyptian, Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli narratives. Will there ever be a bridging of the two narratives? We will try to answer the question.

Israel has begun the third phase of the war, which is the most difficult and most time consuming. The IDF takes the battle underground to the tunnel system built by Hamas, thought to be  the most sophisticated military tunnel system ever built! Listen to this episode to learn of the underground war.

Let’s be blunt; America is the only real ally to Israel and Israel bases its entire foreign policy on what America thinks, what will America say and How will America act. In this episode I will give the context of the American-Israel relationship. We will hear from Dr. Kobi Barda an expert on US-Israel relations. We will also examine the impact of Oct. 7 on the relationship of the Jewish communities in Israel and the US.

Hamas is delusional about what the future may entail, namely that Israel will disappear. BUT - They are realistic. They fully understand that they cannot defeat Israel in a military confrontation! They cannot defeat us at war!  So, what were they thinking?   They honestly believe that over time, they can defeat  Israel using psychological terror, creating national trauma that will slowly but surely rip away at the seams of the society, Unraveling it to the point in which the Israeli society will Collapse, implode. Ironically The same psychological terror these groups think will be their means of victory, now serve as their own downfall. Listen to this episode. https://insideisrael.fm/episodes

Qatar, a strong supporter of Hamas, is basically an enemy of Israel.Egypt has a peace agreement with Israel, although a cold one, and is basically an enemy of Hamas. Both Qatar and Egypt demand a key role as mediators in the conflict.  Listen to this episode and find out why..

Finally, After 7 weeks of war some of the hostages may be released from captivity. That is if all goes well. We know Hamas is anything but honest and so all is predicated on Hamas actually following through. What is the agreement? Who, on the Israeli side, is in opposition to the agreement? What is the legal action needed to release the terrorists from Israeli prison? Who brokered the agreement? Why is Hamas interested in the agreement?

In the recent Arab summit in Riyadh, the world is took a strong stand in alliance with the Palestinains, condemning Israel, even using the word genocide.. Yet NO punitive measures were taken - hypocritical?? On the other hand, according to the Israel Institute of Democracy, 70% of Israeli Arabs polled, stand with Israel.  In this episode I interview Professor Reuven Hazan of the Political Science Department at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

In this episode we’ll discuss the interrogation of Hamas terrorists. We will investigate the battles inside Gaza. In a more global look we will try to understand why Russian Present Putin said, “Hundreds of thousands were killed in Gaza,” Hundreds of thousands? Even Hamas, which always inflates numbers of casualties, doesn't claim that. Putin used to be supportive of Israel. Why the change? An ally of Russia, Hassan Nasrallah gave a much-anticipated speech. what did he say? Or rather what didn’t he say?

War with Hamas, episode #5 In this episode I would like to tell you about 3 issues that Isralis are preoccupied with..  One is The newest front, the Houthis in Yemen. They are over 1000 miles away, and, they have declared war on Israel The 2nd are the hostages and the extremely difficult dilemma of how to free them  And 3rd  -  A top secret report, 11 pages long, issued 7 years ago, now revealed to the public, spells out one by one the strategy, intentions, and implementation of the Hamas attacks on Israel.

Why do they hate us?   UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said "it should be recognized that the attacks by Hamas did NOT happen in a vacuum. For 56 years the Palestinians have been under a suffocating occupation, their lands are taken, the economy is paralyzed and their homes destroyed." Really? Really Mr. Secretery? You are drawing semetery?   In this epiosde we will take a look at how the UN is perpetuting the coflict.. We will also hear more of the stories and the heroes and victims.

Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces are engaged, fighting on 4 fronts Gaza, Lebanon, West Bank and Syria In this episode we will discuss the events. We will continue hearing the stories of the victims and heroes.

How did Israel fail? How did one of the world’s best military intellgence and secret sevices fail so tragically? In this episode we will try and understand… I’ll also discuss how the very divisive Israeli society transformed, within hours, into a united pillar of strength. I’ll continue to tell the stories of the victims and heroes.

Saturday morning Oct. 7, 2023 occured the worst tradgedy of the Jewish people since World War II, since the Holocaust! What maked a human being, any human being, murder children in front of their mothers? What maked a human being, any human being, decapitate a baby?  I’ve been at war in Lebanon. I’ve been inside Gaza, years ago, as a reserve soldier. None of it was even remotely this bad. None of it was this tragic. This is war! We, Israel, will win this war.  In this episode I will speak of the tragedy, the victims, the heros, and the consensus among Israelis that the Hamas murderous monsters will be eliminated

Inside Israel episode –  On Saturday breaking news reported that prime minister Bennett was in Moscow. World side media outlets aired Bennet and Putin meeting. They met for no less than 3 hours and you would be correct to assume it wasn’t just negotiating a potential ceasefire. Why did Putin, who alone will decide when to fire and when to cease, agree, or even invite Bennet to the Kremlin? And why would Bennett agree to meet with and shake hands with a ruthless dictator? Listen to this episode to gain insight.

Hundreds of Haredi Jews gathered at the Western Wall. They didn’t come for prayer or study but rather to block an attempt of women, known as the women of the Wall, to hold their monthly prayers. For their part, the women carried empty mantles used to cover Torah scrolls to protest the prohibition on bringing the scrolls themselves into the women’s section.Will the The Western Wall, as in ancient times, again be a source of conflict?Can we not learn from the tormented history of the Jewish people? Yochi Raapot, executive director of the Women of the Wall, is guest interviewed in this episode

In the next three weeks five more attacks were carried out. In this episode we will learn about the lone wolf terrorist.

Roughly 10 days ago an Israeli tourist couple, Natalie and Mordy Okneen, visited Istanbul and took many photos. One or several of the photos they took was of the house of the president of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.A suspicious waiter reported it to the police and they were arrested under the suspension that they were spying on the house. A few weeks earlier 15 men were also arrested in Turkey suspected of being Mossad agents.  In this episode we will learn of these stories and discuss Jerusalem - Ankara relations.

Supreme Court Part II I am not being overdramatic when I say “the struggle between the legislator (Knesset) and judicial (Supreme Court) could lead to a very different rule in Israel.. “Some say the struggle threatens Israeli democracy.”

WMD “We will not be the first country to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East, but we will also not be the second.” Just a week ago PM Naftali Bennet declared an extension to the nuclear secrets. This decision means that materials (documents) that should have been released for public review or historical research after 50 years will only be exposed after 90 years.  In this episode we will discuss Israeli WMD

Recently Israel’s state comptroller issued a scathing report on the lack of seriousness of the government dealings with Environmental Challenges. He said “We have no national plan,” and “Basically, Israel has not declared the environmental crisis as a strategic threat.” In this episode we will learn from David Dunetz, head of Heschel Center for Sustainability Climate division.

Friday morning , August 22, 2019 seventeen year old Rina Shnerb went hiking with her father and brother. As they walked on a trail leading to a spring near the town of Dolev, a group of terrorists watching from afar activated a bomb causing the death of young Rina and seriously injuring her father and brother. Two employees of a Palestinian civil rights organization, named Samer Arbid and Abd a-Razak who were also members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine initiated the terror act. This week Benny Gantz, Israel’s Minister of Defense, declared six Palestinian organizations acting under the guise of "civil society organizations", are deeply involved with terrorist organizations.  Should we rethink our definitions of NGOs and civil society organizations?

This week a controversial law passed in a pre- vote in the Knesset. The law is nicknamed the Netanyahu Law (or if you want the Bibi Law) Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar issued the law that will prevent a political leader under indictment from forming a government. Is this a democratic liberal law or the opposite?

Today is the 12th of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan. On this day, twenty six years ago, a devastating societal, ideological and political earthquake shook Israel to the core. A young observant Jew, an ideological opponent of the democratically elected prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated him with three bullets shot at his back.   Has Israeli society learned its lesson or are we doomed to more division and perhaps to further political assassinations?

Drama and power struggle will take place in Israel in mid November when a 9 people committee will decide on the appointments of 4 new Supreme Court Justices. Israel’s supreme court is unique. The reason is because It wears two hats, it is the highest Court of Appeals and the “Bagatz” hearing Petitions against various governmental authorities. In this episode we will deal with the court's ruling on religious issues like who is considered a Jew for the migration process to Israel as well as redefining conversion laws.

A 38 year old man from Azerbaijan was arrested in Cypress. When the police checked his car they discovered a gun with a silencer as well as a load of bullets. More than likely he was sent by Iran. The Iranians of course deny having anything to do with the man. They further claim that it is Israel that uses targeted killings. They are not completely wrong. Is Israel acting in accordance with the law? International law? In this episode we will discuss targeted eliminations.

The Shin Bet has conducted tens of thousands of operations that saved Israel and Israelis, this happens literally on a daily basis. But the Shin Bet, in the past, also abused the power given to it to a degree that threatened Israeli democracy. In this episode we will speak of the success and failures of Israel’s world renowned security service.

Arab on Arab We still have about 3 months to the end of 2021 and 82% of all murders in israel  are Arab on Arab.

In this episode I decided to mostly just listen. One of the issues we face in Israel and in the Middle East is that we don’t really listen to each other and/or to the other side.  It’s understandable to not to want to listen, mainly because we disagree, even passionately with what sometimes seem to be outrageous and even conspiratroial accusations. We get angry. But you know something, none of these feelings change a thing on the ground. None of it will bring us closer to understanding each other. So I decided to listen, just listen, and I propose you to do the same..  Guest speaker Muhammad Derwasha is the director of stargtigic planning at Givat Haviva, center for shared society in Israel. He is a leading political analyst and expert on Arab Jewish relations in Israel.

In 1975 the U.N. passed resolution # 3379 stating that “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination" The United States ambassador Daniel Moynihan was clearly upset when he said in his UN address; "The United Nations is about to make anti-Semitism international law." Now Post Zionists say Israel should be universal. No longer the Jewish homeland. To understand this and more Professor Gil Troy, an award winning American presidential historian and Zionist thinker, will address the issues.

A few days ago the Israeli government approved a controversial proposed law dealing with the draft into the IDF of Haredi Yeshiva students. Instead of mandating larger numbers they actually reduced it. It's not just Haredim not serving. According to the IDF spokesman office, in 2019 only 69% of all eligible men were drafted and only only 56% of all eligible  women. Is the IDF as a people’s army? Why did I choose to serve in a combat unit? Why did my daughters and their friends? Listen to this episode and find out.
