  • #368 - The End of Illusions: Redefining Peace in the Middle East (Dr. Ronen Shoval)
    Apr 23 2025
    This episode is sponsored by HOLY CHUTZPAH https://holy-chutzpah.com/ *** It’s been three weeks since Israel resumed its ground operations in Gaza—but the mission still feels undefined. Fifty-nine hostages remain in Hamas captivity, and while the IDF maneuvers cautiously on the ground, the sense that we’re holding back our full strength lingers. At the same time, Trump is warning of an imminent strike on Iran, raising the specter of regional escalation. Domestically, chaos reigns. The government is in crisis over allegations that senior Netanyahu aides advanced Qatari interests. The Prime Minister’s attempt to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar has been blocked by the Supreme Court—an unprecedented move that could trigger a constitutional showdown. And just yesterday, a leaked recording of the Shin Bet’s head of the Jewish department revealed him boasting about arresting settlers without any evidence. In a moment where everything feels fragile—national unity, legal order, deterrence—we’re left asking: where is this all headed? To help us think through these turbulent times, we’re joined by Dr. Ronen Shoval—a political philosopher, public intellectual, and longtime activist in Israel’s ideological landscape. He’s the Dean of the Tikvah Fund and founder of the Argaman Institute for Conservative Thought. He co-founded the influential “Im Tirtzu” movement, has taught at Princeton University, and is the author of Holiness and Society, a groundbreaking new book exploring the political theology of the Bible and its relevance to modern politics. Today, we turn to him to unpack the crisis, the philosophy behind it, and what might come next.

  • #367 - The Supreme Court vs. the Government: Israel’s Battle for Power (Prof. Talia Einhorn)

Week after week, hundreds of thousands flooded the streets, warning that the very foundations of Israeli democracy were under threat. The demonstrations reflected a moment of bitter internal division. Then came October 7th—and everything changed. The country shifted overnight from bitter internal division to all-out war. But while the fighting continues and the hostages remain in Gaza, the internal battles are slowly resurfacing—this time, with even higher stakes. In the latest twist, Prime Minister Netanyahu fired Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. Now, he’s in the process of interviewing replacements. By law, the Prime Minister can fire the head of the Shin Bet with the government’s approval—but that hasn’t stopped the Attorney General and the Supreme Court from stepping in with objections. For many Israelis, this isn’t just a legal question—it’s a test of who really holds power in the country. And for those who watched the judicial reform protests with concern, it’s a reminder that the battle over Israel’s institutions is far from over. To help us unpack all of this, we’re joined by Professor Talia Einhorn—a leading expert on Israeli constitutional law. She’s a member of the Advisory Committee on Senior Civil Service Appointments and a titular member of the International Academy of Comparative Law. She’s held academic posts at Ariel University, Tel Aviv University, and institutions around the world, and she holds many other distinctions in the legal field. Today, she’s here to walk us through the legal drama, the deeper power struggle, and what it all means for Israel’s future. We’re thrilled to be joined today by professor Talia Einhorn.

  • #366 - Reality Check: Dr. Eli David on Gaza, AI, and Israel's Future
    Mar 4 2025
    Support us at: buymeacoffee.com/2njb *** On October 7th, Dr. Eli David found himself uniquely poised as the right person in the right place at a pivotal moment. With an X account boasting over 750K followers—mostly conservative Europeans and Americans— he was already a force to be reckoned with, known for his provocative takes on AI, data, and the absurdities of the "WOKE" movement. But that day, everything changed, thrusting him into a new role overnight. Dr. Eli David is an AI expert, high-tech entrepreneur, and academic at Bar-Ilan University’s Faculty of Computer Science, where he boasts over 50 academic publications. He’s co-founded innovative companies like Deep Instinct, focused on cybersecurity, and Marpai Health, advancing AI-driven healthcare solutions. Before October 7th, his X account steered clear of Israel or its conflicts, captivating a global audience with tech insights and sharp commentary. Since that fateful day, he’s emerged as Israel’s leading advocate on X, leveraging a platform where his influence ranks second only to Elon Musk among entrepreneurs to confront anti-Israel narratives head-on. Today, we sit down with Dr. Eli David to unpack Israel’s war in Gaza and explore what lies ahead. How does Trump’s bold proposal—to clear Gaza of its people and have other states absorb them—hold up? Is it a feasible strategy or an unrealistic vision? What should Israel’s current government do in response? We’ll also dive into the stalled hostage deal—months in, with so many still captive, what must Israel do now to bring them home? Plus, with a new U.S. government taking shape, how might it reshape the region? And, of course, we’ll touch on AI’s future—could it transform the battlefield or the narrative itself? With his rare blend of tech insight and advocacy, Dr. David is here to break it all down. Let’s get started. Dr. David's X account: https://x.com/DrEliDavid
