Israelis Need to Watch 'The Godfather'

Return of the Weathermen?
Yesterday's protests in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle suggest again that the pro-Hamas Left is moving into a new and more dangerous phase, one in which they are openly chanting "Death to America" and may be readying violent acts of "resistance." The parallels to the 1960s are unmistakable. And things are only going to get more heated as Israel does what it has to in Rafah and against Iran. Give a listen.

The Iran Attack
A full house of COMMENTARY podcasters today as we try to reckon with the many possibilities relating to Iran's repelled attack on Israel—and the fact that America now seems fixated yet again on holding Israel back rather than making Iran pay for its aggression. Give a listen.

OJ's Nightmarish Legacy

The Iranian Threat
Iran is said to be preparing or on the verge of a direct strike on Israel, and it's not clear Americans know about it. They will when it happens, and we discuss why they'd do it and what Joe Biden has done to suggest to them it might be worth the cost. Republicans in the House continue to display paralysis. Sonia Sotomayor continues to serve on the Supreme Court despite liberal efforts to get her to quit. And the Japanese prime minister is here! Give a listen.
Customer Reviews
Podhoretz
is great this week (4/15/24). Love/ Hate is back to LOVE!
enough with the Israel apologists
I used to enjoy listening to this everyday but since 10/11 it seems all they talk about is Israel, who they seem to think is justified for ANYTHING they do in retaliation, and they brand anyone who criticizes Israeli atrocities as anti-semitic and pathetic. very disappointing from a group i always thought was moderate, thoughtful, and rational. unfollowing.
John is a pop-culture savant
OJ podcast was great. Well-synthesized. And, editorialized by all.
