    The Reality of Conflict: A Conversation with Sagi Simchon

    In this episode of Hannah Klein’s Time, I am joined by Sagi Simchon—an entrepreneur, IDF veteran, and the nephew of a former Labor Party cabinet minister. Sagi brings a deeply compassionate, human-centric perspective to a conversation that is often clouded by political extremes. We look back at the Second Intifada, a period of profound tragedy where Sagi’s own friends were directly affected. We discuss how that era’s violence—and the modern denial of the October 7th atrocities—are not just political events, but the result of a genocidal ideology that refuses to acknowledge the right of the Jewish state to exist. In this episode, we explore: * The Human Toll: Sagi’s personal accounts of the Second Intifada and why his rejection of the pro-Hamas narrative is rooted in a defense of human dignity. * The Two-State Solution: We discuss the traditional Labor vision for peace and ask the difficult question: Can such a solution exist when the underlying ideology of “Palestinianism” remains uncorrected? * The Path Forward: Drawing on my discussions with Dr. Einat Wilf, we suggest that for any future two-state vision to be viable, there must first be a moral correction that replaces the goal of extermination with a genuine acknowledgment of reality. * The Forecast: Why the current global acceleration of Antisemitism—fueled by the denial of October 7th—suggests that regional stability depends on confronting these ideologies head-on.

    The Cost of Dissent: A Dialogue with Sara Ghorbani

    Producing deep-dive dialogues and independent research on global security requires significant resources. If you value these insights, please consider supporting my work on Substack or through a direct donation to help keep The Sentinel's Journal and this podcast sustainable. ***I sincerely apologize for the more than hour delay in today’s release. Between the current health challenges I’m navigating and the depth of the material we covered with Sara Ghorbani, final production took longer than expected. Thank you for your patience. A personal note: Please excuse my voice in today’s recording as I am currently managing some health challenges. The urgency of this conversation was too great to postpone. In this episode, I sit down with Sara Ghorbani, an Iranian-Canadian activist whose lived experience offers a visceral look at the “Islamotrauma” inflicted by the current regime. Beyond the struggle for a secular Iran, Sara offers a unique perspective on the Middle East's regional future. In this episode, we explore: * Minority Rights & Sovereignty: Why Sara, as an Iranian, personally supports the sovereignty and independence of the Kurds, the Druze, and other persecuted minorities, advocating for a future built on self-determination. * The October 7th Connection: A deep dive into why support for Hamas and the Intifada is an extension of the IRGC’s destabilizing agenda. * Totalitarian Lineage: Examining the chilling parallels between Khamenei’s “Final Solution” rhetoric and the propaganda tactics of the Nazi and Soviet eras. * Transnational Repression: The security of the Iranian diaspora and the ongoing threat of kidnappings and assassinations targeting activists abroad. ⚠️ A Necessary Disclaimer: Today’s dialogue reflects Sara’s lived experience and deeply personal political insights. Given the trauma she has endured under the regime, her views are expressed with a profound sense of urgency. We ask our audience to approach this conversation with empathy, even where your political perspectives may differ. “If you want to go deeper into the geopolitical and historical themes we discussed today, please subscribe to my newsletter, The Sentinel’s Journal.

    Your Humanity? Are You Complicit? - Iran and Syria

    All about Japan, Israel, U.S. and the Open Indo-Pacific is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. ICEJ is somehow politicized by the Japanese TV stations. I’m actually surprised at what they say about ICEJ, because the TV stations are indeed politicizing any affairs related to politics. ICEJ is a goodwill Christian organization that has a mission to spread the goodness of Christians and how we, the Christians, consider the state of Israel. My simple question is, “Why is Christianity politicized if Christians advocate for Israel? Here is another simple question. Why do the media or other people who discuss the Jewish people tend to differentiate the Jewish people and the Israelis, or Zionists? What is the whole point of teaching all these discriminatory values to people? It sounds as if it were “wrong” to advocate for Israel. On the other hand, the media preach to people that there is no such thing as “right” or “wrong” in advocating for people for a cause. I’m talking about “the Palestinians” in the Al Jazeera narrative. I do understand the safety of journalists in some countries. I don’t intend to harm them. However, it’s morally corrupt not to inform about what the Islamic Republic is about. It’s obviously not only because Iran is somewhere far away and Israel is overly conscious of itself. Really? There are a lot of Japanese in the Islamic Republic of Iran. I understand people may not be political. However, what about the ongoing protests that broke out as a result of the sanctions? I do understand that the factors could be sanctions, but at the same time, the 12-Day War has obviously weakened the Khamenei regime. Some academics seem to want to shut their ears, calling out the information that Mossad holds “propaganda.” On what basis do they claim this on TV? Or, is the information provided by the media all “propaganda to them?” Back in the 60s, the Japanese faculty, I have to say, some, and I can actually name some, supported the radical left agenda, and protested against the U.S.-Japan Alliance. If these radical leftists support the liberalism of the people, where are they marching now for the Iranians who are brutally killed on the streets by the IRGC? When the Druze were facing the siege by the cruel Al-Julani forces, where were they? What was ICC doing? They love to talk about Russia. I understand the human rights violations happening in Ukraine. However, the next topic the chief Judge of ICC discusses is Gaza. I’m beyond belief what ICC has been focusing on. It’s obviously a political organization in the UN body. They are well aware of the severe human rights violations in Iran and Syria, against the Druze and the Kurds. Where are they? Not as an individual, there is no words of condolences toward the Kurds? What about the Iranians? The Iranian expats aren’t free at all. They’re always targeted for assassinations, or they’re kidnapped to bring them back to Iran, and will face executions. Such culture isn’t the Iranian culture. I think it’s time we stopped blindly following the theological element that Khamenei has tried to expand since 1979. As we do, the Iranian people deserve freedom and democracy. We can’t overlook the fact that over 40,000 innocent Iranians were brutally murdered by the regime, and over 330,000 people were injured. At the same time, why can we stay silent on the brutal murder of Kurds by the President of Syria? Who made him the President? That’s another problem. Al Julani is a terrorist. Al Julani has never tried to govern Syria. When his army faces the Druze, they ask, “Who are you?” The Druze answered, “I’m Syrian.” "What do you mean by Syrian? Answer?” The Druze man is beaten up. Julani’s loyalists know who the Druze man is. They kept assaulting the Druze man until they said, “I’m Druze.” Then, the Druze man was executed. There has been a famous clip of a braid of a Kurdish woman that the ISIS fighter held. “She won’t live by now.” Well, they’ve “only” learned not to leave the evidence “on their phone.” They executed, and they’re selling Kurdish women as prostitutes for them. Being Silent means being complicit. All about Japan, Israel, U.S. and the Open Indo-Pacific is a reader-supported publication.

    How You Can Avoid from Frauds and Crimes

    There is a reason I investigate facts, write newsletters, and do podcasts. Your donation is much appreciated. Please donate from here. If you like this newsletter, All about Japan, Israel, US, and the Open-Indo Pacific, please become a paid subscriber and support my work. Today’s guest, Dale Yaeger, is the CEO of SERAPH, which primarily conducts Due Diligence for clients seeking to protect their business assets. He was a former federal agent who was involved in criminal profiling. For those unfamiliar with the term, “due diligence” is a systematic investigative process conducted by a prospective buyer to verify the financial, legal, and operational integrity of a target company. It serves as a risk-mitigation strategy to validate the seller’s representations, identify potential liabilities, and determine the fair market value of the acquisition. He’s a very nice person. He discussed why he wrote his book, “Profiling You Life-How to Use Criminal Profiling to Protect Yourself and Your Family from Dangerous People.” The book is available in printed and ebook versions. I’ve always lived, using psychology for my occupation. I’m not a psychologist, but psychology, or understanding who a person is, is applicable in business, as well. It was very interesting to read his book and also listen to his discussions. There may be one question people might be interested in. How do you protect yourself from danger? He’s an experienced profiler, and I can’t compete with such a part, but what he says is important “for crime prevention.” To do it, what is important for us? What needs to be done? Ultimately, it’s best that you are exposed to a crime or a scam, as I discussed on this podcast. Who are the scammers? What are they? What is their intention? Where are they? He has recovered various people’s assets that scammers stole by exploiting financial systems. However, it’s important to caution yourself about who you’re talking to online. For example, on social media. He was also talking about how fraudsters use social media and scam people. All about Japan, Israel, U.S. and the Open Indo-Pacific is a reader-supported publication.

    What Is Expected About the Future of Iran?

    A sponsorship or partnership offer is welcome. Please feel free to contact Hannah Klein through her homepage. Also, donation is appreciated. Also, please become a paid subscriber to support this newsletter. In 1979, a regime was born. It’s the regime that pretended to voice peace using religion. Ever since 1979, women have been forced to wear hijab. Why are women forced to dress in a certain manner? At the same time, the regime has been committing murderous acts, obvious human rights violations, and acts against humanity. Why do people have to be hanged in public? Why are these people forced not to voice their resistance against this tyranny by the Khamenei regime? Because of the Khamenei regime, the Iranian people are now facing enormous inflation, lack of food, and lack of water. As a result, major protests broke out. However, what is the real nature of the protests? If you look at footage of the acts by the IRCG and the Armed Forces of Iran, they’re hitting people with a bar or a stick, shooting at people, raiding people at night, “murdering” 12,000 people in just three days. The Khamenei regime has admitted to the killings of unarmed civilians by using armed forces. What do you think if a nation or your government orders the military to shoot at people? Where is the UN? Why isn’t the UN condemning this act against humanity? Where is the human rights branch of the UN? I believe that it’s not wrong to condemn the Khamenei regime. I’ve discussed what happened during the 12-Day War with Dr. Ofir Haivry. I believe that the preemptive attack has resulted in weakening the regime, and I was expecting it as a result when Israel struck the Islamic Republic regime back in June last year. However, after the collapse of the Khamenei regime, as I expect, what will the future of Iran and its people be? Now, at the same time, is a crucial moment for Iran’s future not to have another brutal government. What is the role of Shaw Pahlavi? What is the expected role of Shaw Pahlavi? Shaw Pahlavi has been actively condemning Khamenei. I expect he’ll play a crucial role in the new government once Khamenei collapses. I hope for the moment that the Khamenei regime will collapse for the entire Middle East, not only for the Iranian people.

    Dialogue With Maccabi Lev-Ari

    I apologize for the delay in posting this episode of the podcast with Maccabi Lev-Ari. There have been technical issues to be fixed. The guest on this episode is Maccabi Lev-Ari, an experienced sports therapist. He was a sports therapist for the New York Yankees, the Israeli Olympic Judo team, and the Paralympic team, and he visited Japan during the Olympics as an official sports therapist. I feel grateful to have him on my podcast. He’s advocating for the victims and the last hostage, Rani Gvili, an Israeli police officer and a soldier. He’s not only advocating for the victims. He’s been volunteering to provide therapy to IDF soldiers who need it after October 7th. It’s not very difficult to imagine, especially in therapy. In any therapy, personality matters. Maccabi is a very kind and generous person. I’ve asked him to come on my podcast, as he writes regularly on the Times of Israel blog. There are many prominent political figures who write on the Times of Israel blog. It’s a space to engage in voicing various opinions. You could Maccabi’s blog: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/author/maccabi-lev-ari/ X He told me various opinions on various topics. We talked about the issues of settlers, which is reported as if Israelis were some kind of “aliens.” Actually, Zionism is biased for many reasons, and it has a lot to do with Israel, which is called a “colony.” If these people who claim Israelis are colonialists are no different from the accomplices of the cold-blooded Khamenei regime. Khamenei has murdered over 20,000 in just a week. How come this brutality is possible? Also, he pointed out an important fact about the 12-Day War. If you listen to our dialogue, you’ll have an opportunity to think about various topics related to Israel, such as “what Israel means to Israelis,” “There was no Palestine in history and why,” and more. Ayatollah Khamenei has been pointing to Israel, calling the Zionist regime or the illegitimate colonialists, and more. In between, he also name-calls Prime Minister Netanyahu. If you listen to his speech about 1982, though, you’ll understand why he calls Israel the Zionist Regime, together with Prime Minister Netanyahu, who had the realistic idea of collapsing the cruel and brutal Khamenei regime. However, to be clear, when Khamenei calls out Zionists, it means “all Israelis.” I’ve hated the Islamic Republic of Iran for a long time. For decades. And, so do many Iranians who’re currently oppressed by Khamenei. There is no freedom of speech, and not only that… There is no freedom of action, phone calls, texts, or anything. Anything will be watched and monitored, and you could face public hanging. It doesn’t mean that you’re able to get away with the wars in the Middle East if you live far away. Many Japanese intellectuals believe that Al Jazeera is a media of justice, which is, in fact, appalling. You need to know and learn about Israel, which is a part of Christian culture. The real history of Israel and its people, even though you prefer not to talk about the religion. The victims in Israel on October 7th were young Israelis.

    Dialogue Dr. Ofir Haivry x Hannah Klein

    It’s New Year's Day 2026. My first guest for the 2026 episode is Dr. Ofir Haivry, my regular guest and a renowned Israeli political scientist and commentator. Do you have a New Year's resolution? There has been a lot at the end of 2025, and I’d like to cover more by inviting guests from different backgrounds. To me, 2026 is a year of hope and change. I plan to expand my newsletter beyond my exclusive articles to a space for free speech, where I can cover various affairs and invite guests to write articles or join Q&A sessions. By the way, Israel recognized Somaliland on December 26th, 2025. Did you know about Somaliland? I asked Dr. Ofir Haivry to talk about Somaliland to the Japanese public, who had never heard of it. The recognition of Somaliland is a historic moment. What do you think it means to the neighboring region, or geopolitically, not only for Israel? Also, to many Japanese, it may be confusing why the Bondi Beach massacre is Antisemitism. Some news media had a very misleading description as if the Bondi Beach massacre was the result of the ongoing operation in Gaza by the IDF. This, in fact, is a preaching, not a fact. Australia has very strict gun laws, just like Japan. Then, why did such a tragedy happen? It’s long overdue for the Japanese public to stop listening to Hamas narrative of Zionism and also Antisemitism. Israel bias. This is a public episode.
