Welcome back to BALAGAN. It has been too long, and I have much to share. Since it has been a while since my last episode, and even though I have a few recorded materials and more episodes in the making, I wanted to dedicate my first episode of the season to your questions.

C’est la vie with Jeff Becker

Dec 09 2023 45 mins  
It has been two months since the war was forced upon Israel by Hamas, but it seems that Israel doesn't have any Exit Strategy. While soldiers are dying, the world sees the photos from Gaza and the Gaza people suffering. They don't know these people are used as Human shields by Hamas and that the war can end quickly if Hamas surrenders and sends free all the people abducted. On the

UN Resolution 181 and the War with Ido Dembin

Nov 29 2023 49 mins  
On November 29, 1947, the General Assembly voted in favor of the Partition Plan over British Palestine, also known as UN Resolution 181. The plan to divide the land between Israelis and Arabs was accepted by Zionist leaders and was turned down by the Arab Nations.

Nov 26 2023 33 mins  
Uri Ashi was one of the only people advocating for peace for the last couple of years. For over two years, he stood holding a sign with big letters saying, "Peace with the Palestinians is doable." Even though he works in the High-Tech scene, Uri has dedicated his last years to research, writing, and advocating for the two-state solution. His book Hatikvah (Just like Israel's Nati

Tikkun Olam - Especially now with Roy Goldenberg

Nov 21 2023 28 mins  
Tikkun Olam is one of the most essential values in Judaism. But how do we make this idea concrete by helping change the world for people with disabilities? Disabilities are color, gender, religion, or Nation blind, and some Israelis are working hard to provide solutions that are easy and simple to make. TOM - Or Tikkun Olam Makers, is a global movement of communities that creates

The failure of the Iron Wall conception with Nir Reisler

Nov 11 2023 35 mins  
In 1923, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, Founder and Leader of Beitar (Revisionist Zionism) wrote an essay called The Iron Wall, which, in a nutshell, says - The Arabs will not accept our existence and make peace until we will have strong institutions of our own. They will understand they can not outtake us. For years, Israel has built its institutions and mainly its Military power, with one of

S3E18 - The battle of the narratives what works and what doesn’t with Joanna Landau

Nov 05 2023 47 mins  
Until October 7th, Israel was the Goliath in the Israel-Palestinian conflict, but Hamas's atrocities changed things. Since then, four weeks have passed, and it seems that in the war that is also being held on Social Media and Traditional media, the wind is shifting, and the damage in Gaza is moving the public sentiment toward Hamas. What can we learn from the trends, and can Israel

Nov 01 2023 39 mins  
On today's episode, I discussed Accountability, Responsibility, and what is happening within Israeli politics amid the Was forced upon us on October 7th. A lot of aggression, distrust, and scarcity are taking place, and it is quite concerning. To discuss the options and what I think is the right thing to do for Israel, I hosted my dear friend Jeff Becker. #Israel #IsraeliPolitics

S3E16 - The Moral failure of the Ivy League with Barak Sella

Oct 25 2023 54 mins  
It's hard to say that the Pro-Israel sentiment on American campuses is strong. For years, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, The BDS movement, and Israeli government policies took their toll when the advocacy organizations tried to alarm that some of the clashes were not just legitimate criticism but pure Antisemitism. The is FACT that this war was forced upon Israel after the Mass
