    Wake Up, America: Is Israel the Front Line of Western Civilization? | Street Interviews with Israelis

    Send us Fan Mail Is Israel on the Front Line of Western Civilization? Is Israel actually important to America? Listen to this episode and decide for yourself.  You've heard the slogans: "Free Palestine." "Apartheid state." "Anti-Zionist, not antisemitic." But how often do you hear from ordinary Israelis themselves?  We took to the streets and spoke with Christian, Muslim, and Jewish Israelis—a taxi driver, store clerks, a CEO, an architect, and many others. Candid conversations.  Some challenged our assumptions. Some shared stories that don't make the headlines. One left us with a message for America. No pundits. No spin. Just real people sharing their perspectives, so you can hear directly from those living there and decide for yourself. _______________________________________________ Is Israel the Front Line of Western Civilization?

    Former Israeli Ambassador Shares Diplomacy Nobody Talks About

    Send us Fan Mail Israel is delivering humanitarian aid to countries that officially don't recognize it exists.  Insulin to Pacific islands. Drinking water to Cyprus. Agricultural breakthroughs that let Uzbek farmers grow five times their previous harvest.  While every news camera pointed at the conflict, a quieter story was unfolding on five continents — the diplomacy nobody covered. Former Israeli Ambassador Shemi Tzur served across many of those countries. He knows what was built while the world was looking the other way.  You were given half the story. In this episode, Ambassador Shemi Tzur tells the other half.

    Fuente Latina: How One Woman in Jerusalem Outsmarted A Massive Spanish Propaganda Machine | Leah Soibel

    Send us Fan Mail Six hundred million Spanish speakers are being told a story about Israel — and it's being scripted by governments with billion-dollar media budgets. In 2012, Leah Soibel decided to fight back. No staff. No budget. No backing. Just a kitchen table in Jerusalem and one unconventional weapon: journalists — 650 of them, flown to Israel over 13 years to see the facts with their own eyes. What happened next turned a one-woman operation into Fuente Latina, one of the most influential pro-Israel media voices in the entire Spanish-speaking world. How she pulled it off — outgunned on every front — is the real David-and-Goliath story of our time. _______________________________________________ Is Israel the Front Line of Western Civilization?
