    The Only Way Out of Iran is Through

    Behnam Ben Taleblu is senior director of the Foundation For Defense of Democracy’s Iran Program, and a senior fellow specializing in Iranian security and political issues. We ask this noted scholar the burning questions of the day like, “Do you lose weight on Ramadan?” and “What’s it like to have a fatwa on your head?” We also discuss the potential for an American (and Israeli?) strike on Iran, the incredible resilience of Iranian society, how Ayatollah Khamenei is playing us all, where Behnam is more hawkish than his Israeli colleagues. Follow Behnam on X and check out his writing at the FDD. Happy Purim, Ramadan and Nowruz to all! Also: * No one has done a better job at secularizing Iranian society than the Islamic republic itself. * What is Iran? * We’re all from Malta now. * Is Ramadan intermittent fasting? * I’m sorry I can’t come to your event, the Iranianss are after me. * Where is Hezbollah now? * Iranian society deserves a collective Nobel Peace Prize. * Bumbling idiot or 7D chess player? * The knife and the handshake. * The JCPOA created this mess. * This is a war of choice, and Iran chose it. * Khamenei needs to thank Trump, instead he’s leaving him on “read”. * Tucker Carlson didn’t like the Ben Gurion Airport McDonald’s. * No one and everyone has a right to exist. * Benham has a favorite Hamentaschen flavor. * Persian food with a Shmear. * Kebab and Chinese This is a public episode.

    How much do you need to give to charity for eating a Big Mac?

    Happy almost-Iran war day! On this solo pod, we discuss our respective Valentine’s Days, whether or not the US should start executing Olympic athletes who don’t bring home medals, and Chaya Leah’s near Holocaust experience at a fancy kosher restaurant in LA. We also finally take some listener questions! We help a listener explain to her Goyfriend why she wants to raise their kids Jewish even though she’s not a huge Jew herself, and advise another listener facing her new role at work as the token “tell us about antisemitism” employee. You can send yours to askajewpod@gmail.com. No questions is stupid, as you can clearly see by Yael’s question about a drunk encounter with a Big Mac. Want to help us grow?

    Israel’s Information War: A View from the Trenches with Eylon Levy

    Eylon Levy is a former Israeli Government Spokesman and one of Israel’s most recognized faces on the global stage since October 7th. A graduate of Oxford and Cambridge (which is like Harvard in the UK - ybt), he founded the Israeli Citizen Spokesperson Office, a grassroots campaign which gives citizens an opportunity to take part in the global information war. He also hosts the new show “Eylon The Record” which you should definitely check out, and you may even recognize some of the guests from previous AAJ episodes! Find Eylon on X, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. We talk to Eylon about the reasons Israel is losing the media war, why not everything is a PR problem, what messages actually work, and his relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu (never met him).

    The Jewish Conspiracy to Change Yassine Meskhout's Mind

    Yassine Meskhout is a public defender, a Moroccan, an anarchist, a liberterian, a cyclist (*shudder*) and now, our new best friend. We’ve become obsessed with his writing since his viral November 2023 essay “The Jewish Conspiracy To Change My Mind” and the banger, “Why I write About the Jews”. We talk to Yassine about working with criminals, trying to figure out why some of his friends were celebrating on October 7th, why ICE shouldn’t shoot Mandy Patinkin, and how his father, who believes Israel created ISIS, also believes the Jews should have their own state. Check out substack for a fun Israeli-Moroccan inspired Spotify Playlist! Also: * First things first - would an ex-Jew fool Hitler? * Escaping the lack of McDonalds in Morocco through the diversity lottery. * DJ Smack-that-ass, Esq. * The life of a public defender - eleven magic words. * The system works, mostly. * Minnesota, ICE, and what expectations we should have from law enforcement. * Trying to understand the celebrations of October 7th. * Doubling down on Islam as a kid * This amazing story about Yassine’s father: * Western leftists - please find meaning elsewhere. * The hard truth Jews need to hear - not everyone is an antisemite, some of them are just stupid. * How to protest well. * Everyone needs to stop being so confident. * Leave a white woman, take a white woman.

    Much more on Substack! Iran, Lebanon and Syria, Oh My! Hussain Abdul-Hussain is a fellow at the The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), hailing from Beirut via Baghdad and all the way to Washington DC.
