Jonny Gould's Jewish State Public Service Podcasting Limited

You’ll know Alex Deane if you’re a regular news channel viewer.
A regular commentator and reviewer on Sky News, BBC’s dateline London and GB News, he says couldn’t stand idly by in an era where the conviction politician might stand an electoral chance to buck the trend.
And Alex is standing in the most Jewish of London’s constituencies, Finchley and Golders Green, Margaret Thatcher’s seat made vacant by Mike Freer, who was - let’s not mince words here, hounded out of public life when his constituency office was burned down and was the original target of Ali Harbi Ali, who murdered Conservative colleague, the MP in Southend West, Sir David Amess.
Alex Deane was called to the bar at Middle Temple in 2005 and served as Chief of Staff to David Cameron when he was Shadow Secretary of State for Education.
He’s also an historian and author of "Lessons From History" uncovering great heroes who history have forgotten but who helped shape the world we live in now.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak declared just hours before - with the poll set for July 4th. 
Finchley is a big constituency stretching from Cricklewood Broadway, lapping at the shores of Whetstone, so if you’re an N or an NW, listen up, this is Alex Deane.

The mainstream news channels are stuck in a tiresome stream of programmes which you know misrepresent Gaza and Israel. 
That ignore key facts and amplify voices from just one side (with honourable exceptions, of course).
The world’s media would have you believe Gazans are helpless, living in an overcrowded prison camp, unable to escape their predicament, sitting ducks to Israeli aggression. 
It couldn't be further from the truth.
Hamas leadership need the bleeding hearts of Europe aided by mass media to continue underwriting UNRWA and other NGOs which only extend the war another day, year or even longer.
But when you strip away the Hamas videos, ordinary Gazans don’t view themselves as victims at all. 
They’re resilient, creative, great cooks, they eat good quality meat, fruits and vegetables. Wouldn’t you if you lived off the Mediterranean coast? 
How do we know? They upload hundreds of videos about themselves, their lifestyles and their views, freely available for all to see. 
And here’s Imshin who chronicles it all, a voice you certainly won’t hear on mainstream news. She doesn’t suit the story. It’s a great shame because her sources are impeccable and transparent. 
Our guest today describes herself as an amateur Gaza watcher, her highly valuable resource is documented on Twitter or X under the handle, Imshin. 
Imshin, real name Jacqui Peleg paints a vivid picture of Gazan society through the eyes of the people themselves. 
There’s revelatory detail in every answer from Jacqui, including the accidental superstar Mr Fafo who went from little known YouTuber to worldwide attention. 
You’ll hear how Joe Biden’s lack of support over Israel’s Rafah mission only helps to bolster Hamas inside Gaza. 
This is a gripping interview from start to finish, full of insightful observations and detailed revelations.
This is “The Gaza You Don’t See”. This is Imshin, Jacqui Peleg.

What’s it really like in Iran - for its citizens and the Jews who still live there? 
Iran’s major cities, Tehran and Isfahan still have functioning synagogues, but the communities have declined sharply since the Islamist revolution which shapes the world today. 
Let’s discuss today's Iran with someone who really knows it.
This is an interview conducted in Israel just a matter of weeks before October 7th. 
During the heady late summer days of weekly judicial reform rallies, this is Dr Meir Javedanfar.
He was born in Tehran to a family from the city of Isfahan.
Meir Javedanfar is an Iranian-Israeli lecturer, author, and commentator. He's taught Iranian politics at Reichman University in Israel since 2012. 
He is the coauthor of Ahmadinejad’s biography, “The Nuclear Sphinx of Tehran".
He has published many articles on Iran and Iran-related matters for Foreign Affairs, Al-Monitor, The Diplomat, The Guardian and others.
He's guest lectured at more than 20 universities and his Ph.D dealt with Mohammad Reza Shah’s security decision-making in relation to threats posed by Iraq and the Soviet Union.
Eight months after his bar mitzvah in 1987, Meir and his family moved to the U.K as Jewish refugees from Iran. 
He remains a committed Anglophile, he never quite left the English sense of humour behind, so listen out for a Basil Fawlty joke!
Whatever the status of the JCPOA in the wake of Iran’s first ever direct assault on Israel, he told me he supported it - and said Israeli military experts in the know did too… Why? 
And he took part in the Iranian Revolution in 1979 - yes really! - but seven Jews were killed and the Persian Jewish population collapsed from 100,000 under the Shah to where it is today: a paltry and declining 7,000.
So why was there a revolution in 1979 in the first place? 
The mullahs are wary of their own people, scared of American soft power, led by the threat of feminism. 
This really is a fascinating interview which deserves the light of day, its own episode.
This is Dr Meir Javedanfar Ph.D.
