Arab Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad says that describing Al Aqsa Mosque as in danger is a “complete lie.”

“Israel does everything to protect it,” Haddad says on this week’s episode of “Global Perspectives” with Ellie Cohanim.

Haddad is the CEO of “Together – Vouch for Each Other,” an organization that aims to enhance the connection between the Arab sector and the rest of Israeli society.

“I have been hearing that Al Aqsa is in danger since I was born,” he says.” “This is a complete lie. Al Aqsa was never in danger.”

Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, and to claim otherwise is disingenuous, according to Bahrain-based political affairs expert Amjad Taha.

“When a person claims to be anti-Zionist but not anti-Semitic, it is equivalent to saying that they are not Islamophobic but despise or hate all Muslims,” he tells Ellie Cohanim on this week’s “Global Perspectives.”

On this week's Global Perspectives, Ellie speaks with Fmr. Assistant Secretary for Management at the Treasury Department David Eisner. They discuss how President Biden's policies have destroyed the American economy causing hyper-inflation and are pushing the US away from being energy independent.
They cover
- The economy under Trump vs. under Biden
- Caving to the far-left on energy policies
- Iran sanctions

On a more personal note, Eisner gives advice on how to remain religious and keep your Jewish identity in the workplace.

On this week’s episode of “Global Perspectives,” a Pakistani journalist tells Ellie Cohanim that it's time to end the Arab-Israeli conflict and for Muslims to recognize the message in the Koran that Israel belongs to the Jews.

Journalist Ahmed Quraishi was recently in Israel on a mission to help reconcile relations between Muslims and Jews - a trip that cost him his job at a state-run TV station.

In the latest episode of “Global Perspectives,” Ellie Cohanim talks with journalist and author Lee Smith about how “half of the country fell prey to an insane story about the president of the United States working on behalf of a foreign power.”

They look at US President Barack Obama’s willingness to use the country’s intelligence agencies to spy on Donald Trump and those opposed to the Iranian nuclear deal, and how the January 6 hearings were “the definition of a ‘show trial.’"
