    Episode 512, The Andrew Parker Show – Standing Firm on Israel: Natan Sharansky, Truth and Moral Courag

    Does widespread agreement make an accusation true—or can repetition turn a falsehood into accepted belief? In Episode 512 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew explores that question through Natan Sharansky’s essay, “Is the Whole World Wrong?” Drawing on the former Soviet political prisoner’s reflections and the writings of cultural Zionist Ahad Ha’am, Andrew examines how historical accusations against Jews gained credibility through consensus—and why he believes those lessons matter in today’s debate over Israel and Gaza. In this impassioned commentary, Andrew challenges allegations that Israel has committed genocide, discusses the significance of intent in defining genocide, and questions how international institutions, political leaders, media coverage and social platforms shape public opinion. Topics include: • Historical blood libels and their relevance to contemporary antisemitism. • October 7, Jewish remembrance and Israel’s fight for survival. • Sharansky’s account of Israeli soldiers’ efforts to mitigate civilian harm. • The difference between legitimate criticism and accepting accusations Andrew argues are unfounded. • Moral conviction, accountability and the pressure to accept prevailing narratives. At the heart of the episode is a challenge: How do we maintain high moral standards while standing firm when we believe the world has reached the wrong conclusion? Listen for Andrew’s perspective on Israel, antisemitism and the responsibility to question consensus. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

    Episode 511, The Andrew Parker Show – Israel on the Ballot: What the Midterms Mean for America’s Closest Middle East A

    Could the 2026 midterm elections reshape America’s relationship with Israel—and what would that mean for American security? In Episode 511 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines the candidates, endorsements and political rhetoric he believes are moving the Democratic Party away from support for Israel. He argues that the U.S.–Israel alliance delivers substantial benefits to Americans through intelligence sharing, defense cooperation, technology and medical innovation. Reflecting on the October 7 attacks, Andrew challenges what he sees as moral relativism toward Hamas and explores the connection between anti-Israel rhetoric and antisemitism. He also addresses allegations of genocide in Gaza, explains why he believes those accusations distort Holocaust memory, and discusses claims that members of terrorist organizations have operated under the cover of journalism. In this episode: • Why Andrew views support for Israel as an America-first position. • How congressional elections and party endorsements could influence the alliance. • His concerns about antisemitism, political accountability and voter education. • How media narratives shape public perceptions of Israel and the Gaza conflict. A pointed conversation about politics, Israel and the responsibility of voters to scrutinize the people seeking power. Watch or listen to Episode 511, subscribe, and share your perspective.

    Episode 510, The Andrew Parker Show - Israel, Iran and the Fight for the Future of the Middle East

    The world may be approaching a geopolitical turning point, and Andrew Parker argues that what happens next with Israel, Iran and the United States could reshape the Middle East for generations. In Episode 510 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew opens with a dramatic reported incident aboard a FlyDubai flight bound for Tel Aviv and uses it as a starting point for a broader discussion about terrorism, security and the West’s response to radical Islamist movements. He then turns to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent address to the United Nations, the delegations that walked out during his remarks, and Andrew’s growing criticism of the UN and its role in the Israel-Gaza conflict. Andrew also examines the changing political debate over Israel inside the United States. He discusses the rise of anti-Israel sentiment, the direction of the Democratic Party, the growing influence of Democratic Socialists, and what those shifts could mean for the long-standing U.S.–Israel alliance. From Hamas and Hezbollah to Iran and its nuclear ambitions, Andrew argues that lasting peace will require more than temporary ceasefires or diplomatic compromises. He lays out why he believes defeating Iran’s proxies and fundamentally changing the balance of power in the region could eventually create an opportunity for a different Middle East — including new alliances, expanded peace agreements and a potential demilitarized Palestinian state. Andrew also explains why he considers Israel America’s strongest ally and why the relationship extends far beyond politics to military cooperation, intelligence, technology, medical science and innovation. Is the world approaching a transformation comparable to the end of the Cold War? And could the decisions being made today determine the direction of the next decade? Politics. Israel. The Law.

    Episode 509, The Andrew Parker Show - Choosing Life: Flight 1073 and the Indomitable Spirit of Israel

    What happens when ordinary people are suddenly called upon to do something extraordinary? In Episode 509 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines the harrowing events aboard Flydubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv, where a violent attack inside the cockpit sent the aircraft into a terrifying descent before the wounded captain, passengers and crew intervened and the plane was ultimately brought to safety. But for Andrew, the story is about much more than what happened aboard one flight. Drawing from an essay by former Israeli Ambassador to the United States and historian Michael Oren, Andrew explores Flight 1073 as a powerful reflection of the Israeli spirit — a people confronted by danger who refuse to surrender their determination to live. As the anniversary of October 7 approaches, Andrew reflects on Israel’s response to three years of war, terrorism, international condemnation and profound loss. He considers the sacrifices of Israeli soldiers and civilians, the divisions within Israeli society, the strength of its democracy and the resilience of a nation that continues to build, innovate, celebrate and defend itself. And then there is the remarkable moment after the danger aboard Flight 1073 had passed: passengers reportedly broke into song, invoking the teaching associated with Rabbi Nachman of Breslov that the world is a narrow bridge and the essential thing is not to be afraid. For Andrew, that moment captures something larger. Am Yisrael Chai. The people of Israel live. This episode asks what Flight 1073 can teach the world about courage, moral conviction, resilience and the determination to choose life even when confronted with extraordinary danger.

    Who Will Stand With Israel in its Fight to Defend its People? Security, the UN and America’s Political Divide

    Security is one of the most basic human needs. For Israel, Andrew Parker argues, it has also been a defining struggle for nearly 80 years — and October 7 shattered any remaining illusion that security could be taken for granted. In Episode 508 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew examines Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the United Nations, the delegates who walked out before his remarks, and Netanyahu’s defense of Israel’s military campaign and its response to Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and other regional threats. Andrew also takes on the increasingly divisive American political debate over Israel. He challenges Democratic leaders who have opposed or sought to restrict U.S. support for Israel, questions the international focus on Israel’s conduct while other abuses in the Middle East receive less attention, and argues that opposition to Netanyahu should not become opposition to Israel’s right to defend itself. At the center of the episode is a larger question: What happens when a nation’s right to security collides with international condemnation, political pressure and competing narratives about a war? Andrew breaks down Netanyahu’s message to the UN, the political reaction at home and abroad, and why he believes the debate over Israel is ultimately about something much larger than one prime minister, one political party or even one war.

    Episode 507, The Andrew Parker Show - What Happened to the Liberal Democratic Party?

    Has the Democratic Party abandoned traditional liberalism for a more progressive and democratic-socialist ideology? In Episode 507 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker examines what he sees as a fundamental shift within the Democratic Party and the growing influence of its progressive left. At the center of the discussion are Israel, antisemitism, the U.S.-Israel relationship and the political divide that has emerged over the war in Gaza. Andrew discusses former Vice President Kamala Harris’ support for Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, the positions of Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan, and the increasing tension between establishment Democrats and the party’s progressive wing. He also challenges the use of the term “genocide” to characterize Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and argues that rhetoric surrounding Israel and Zionism can have broader consequences for Jewish Americans and the fight against antisemitism. Where does legitimate criticism of Israeli policy end and antisemitism begin? How much influence does the progressive left now have within the Democratic Party? And what does the party’s evolving position on Israel mean for Jewish voters and the future of American politics? Andrew offers his perspective and invites listeners who disagree to join the conversation. Subscribe and follow The Andrew Parker Show for continuing conversations on politics, Israel and the law.

    Episode 506, The Andrew Parker Show - From 9/11 to October 7: Andrew Parker on Terrorism and Moral Clarity

    What do September 11 and October 7 have in common, and what happens when the public narrative surrounding an attack begins to change? In Episode 506 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew reflects on the 25th anniversary of September 11 and draws parallels between the aftermath of 9/11 in the United States and the October 7 attacks in Israel. He examines radical Islamist terrorism, the changing narratives surrounding victims and aggressors, and what he sees as the need for moral clarity when confronting terrorism and antisemitism. Andrew also addresses the war in Gaza and challenges claims about Israel’s conduct and responsibility for civilian casualties, arguing that the realities of urban warfare and Hamas’ role in the conflict cannot be separated from the debate. Closer to home, Andrew turns to Minnesota politics and U.S. Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan, examining her positions on Israel through the lens of her advocacy for Indigenous peoples and their connection to ancestral lands. He raises a question he believes deserves greater scrutiny: How should the concept of indigeneity be applied when discussing the Jewish people and the land of Israel? The episode begins with an update on Andrew’s recent appearance with Liz Collin and his client Mary Smith, the longtime Minneapolis Public Schools teacher who was reinstated through arbitration with full back pay, benefits and no loss of tenure after being terminated for the way she reported student misconduct. It’s an episode about terrorism, history, Israel, politics and the narratives that shape how we understand all three. Subscribe, follow and join the conversation at TheAndrewParkerShow.com.

    Episode 505, The Andrew Parker Show – 25 Years After 9/11: Patriotism, Moral Relativism and a Political Awakening

    Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, what lessons have we learned — and what have we forgotten? Andrew Parker welcomes back writer, Army veteran and political thinker Shane Hachey for a deeply personal conversation about 9/11, patriotism, moral relativism and the political transformation that followed one of the most consequential days in modern American history. Hachey was living in New York City and attending Columbia University when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center. At the time, he describes himself as an anti-war, left-wing Army veteran who had voted for Ralph Nader. But as he watched the attacks unfold — and then encountered the reactions of fellow students and intellectuals in the months that followed — his worldview began to change. Drawing from his essay, “9/11 Republicanism,” Hachey explains how the moral relativism he encountered after the attacks forced him to reconsider his political assumptions and ultimately led him to identify as what was once called a “9/11 Republican.” Andrew and Shane examine the difference between traditional liberalism and today’s progressive movement, patriotism and criticism of America, the rise of socialism, radical Islam, political ideology and the importance of being willing to challenge your own beliefs when facts and better arguments demand it. They also consider a question that extends far beyond politics: Are we still willing to distinguish between right and wrong — or has moral relativism made even that increasingly difficult? It’s a candid discussion about September 11, the political realignment it produced for a generation of Americans and why its lessons remain relevant 25 years later.
