Wolfgang MunchauHOST
I think, too,
Jack SmithHOST
what's happened with these sorts of AIPAC candidates and the, I guess you could say, the backlash against AIPAC and the broader pro-Israel political movement in the United States, I think, is another example of something bigger, which is the difference between, I guess you could say, express preferences for America first and reveal preferences for America first, right? Where within the Democrat Party itself and within the Democrat base, a lot of the sort of political backlash against Israel built up during the Gaza War.
Jack SmithHOST
And it built up when Israel was committing numerous severe and very well documented human rights violations in Gaza.
Jack SmithHOST
But I think the point at which the Democrats could convert that into political capital came when the perception grew that Israel was dragging the United States into a war that was having consequences for Americans' material well-being, right? That this war was causing fuel prices to rise.
Jonathan TobinHOST
Many Democrats claim to support Israel.
Jonathan TobinHOST
But the list of those who are willing to emphatically refute the anti-Semitic lies about the Gaza War or the conflict with the Palestinians in general that have been normalized in public discourse are now few and far between.
Jonathan TobinHOST
Few oppose restrictions or bans of military aid to Israel in wartime or sanctions against Jews in Judea and Samaria who have been demonized by the false narrative of settler violence.
Jonathan TobinHOST
Indeed, once you get past Senator John Fetterman and Representatives Richie Torres and Josh Gottheimer, there aren't many Democrats in Congress who fit that description.
Iqbal AkhtarHOST
Robert Bob Gehry is a former prosecutor in the organized crime section of the U.S. Department of Justice, acting chief of the Cleveland Organized Crime Strike Force, director of the Ohio Organized Crime Council, court-appointed counsel for Muslims in federal prison since 1995, who has taught the Quran and Islam at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and has lectured on geopolitics and Islam.
Iqbal AkhtarHOST
And over the last five years, they've co-written a book that we'll be talking about today across major developments in the world, such as the Gaza War and the sharp realignment in American politics.
Iqbal AkhtarHOST
So welcome to you both.
Iqbal AkhtarHOST
Thank you for being on the podcast.
19 MINS LATER
Iqbal AkhtarHOST
No, I appreciate that.
Iqbal AkhtarHOST
You talked a little bit, you know, about the kind of the hard verses of the Quran and kind of context and stuff like that.
Iqbal AkhtarHOST
I wanted to continue a bit and talk about our contemporary politics, right? So October 7th and the Gaza war, how did you both deal with that? How did your conversation continue? And yeah, how did you engage with very, very difficult and divisive sort of issue that brought up between Jews and Muslims? Because definitely in the United States and many parts of the world, many of the dialogues that existed all fell apart, you know, after October 7th and the Gaza war.
Iqbal AkhtarHOST
So the fact that you guys kept going and you've actually continued the book is really a testament to the vision that you both have.
John Paul NewlandGUEST
them? Not the actual house, I don't think, but their lives.
John Paul NewlandGUEST
More my mum being, she's fought in the Gaza war, and my father's fought in the Falklands, you know, and then I've got all my...
John Paul NewlandGUEST
My dad's side, as well as some of my mum's side, they've all fought in wars.
John Paul NewlandGUEST
It's just not something they want to talk
speaker_27SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I mean, the moment you have, these are the liberal Zionist positions, right? Which is Israel gets to, we at least believe Israel gets to exist as a Jewish state, which sounds like this.
speaker_27SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, of course, I criticize Netanyahu and the settlements, and I criticize the Gaza war, and I may even say it's a genocide.
speaker_27SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But I will continue to affirm, this is what they're pushing Abdu'l-Azhar to do, is all we want you to say is that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state.
speaker_27SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But then that, you know, just the basic Zionist, you can have anything, you can have any other belief, but you've got to have the consensus.
Adam LucenteHOST
Egypt's Suez Canal Authority said Thursday that year-on-year revenue in October was up 94% to $724 million, compared to $373 million in October 2025.
Adam LucenteHOST
Egypt has lost billions of dollars in canal revenue since the Houthis in Yemen began attacking ships in the Red Sea after the Gaza War began in late 2023.
Adam LucenteHOST
The Iran-backed group ceased the attacks in October of 2025 after the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, but then announced a blockade of Saudi shipping in July after fighting with the Saudi-backed government in Yemen renewed.
Adam LucenteHOST
Still, major shipping companies like Maersk are returning to the waterway.
KatePANELIST
Well, maybe not for him, but it seems to me to be when you have...
KatePANELIST
I'm getting really frustrated at the kind of revisionist history that's going on with the Gaza War.
KatePANELIST
I know that there were atrocities or people have issues with the amount of violence and destruction of the Gaza Strip.
KatePANELIST
But I was listening to Brett McGurk talk about his ongoing deals with the Israelis and with Hamas and how obstructionist Hamas was.
Marshall WeissHOST
At political conventions every four years, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, AIPAC, convened breakfasts for this mishpacha, or family in Hebrew, and most, if not all, of the Jewish lawmakers at the convention would attend.
Marshall WeissHOST
That gathering would be unimaginable in this cycle, one in which Lander ousted incumbent Jewish opponent Daniel Goldman in the Democratic Party, in part because Goldman would not describe Israel's conduct in the Gaza War as genocide.
Marshall WeissHOST
Lander also successfully used AIPAC's endorsement of Goldman against the sitting congressman as signal of how divisive the lobby has become among progressives.
Marshall WeissHOST
Ira Foreman, who for years led the now-defunct National Jewish Democratic Council, said it would be impossible to imagine the type of consensus among Jewish lawmakers on issues surrounding Israel that he routinely observed when the NJDC was active in the 1990s and 2000s.
Kim GhattasGUEST
You know, they should have seen it coming.
Kim GhattasGUEST
You're talking about the Gaza War? The Gaza War, of course, yes, after the October 7th massacre carried out by Hamas.
Kim GhattasGUEST
But I heard American officials say, you know, we looked at imposing sanctions and we realized that Ben-Gurion and Smotrich would revel in it.
Kim GhattasGUEST
So it had no impact.
Rachel WabaGUEST
No Israeli, no one in Gaza, no one.
Rachel WabaGUEST
The Gaza War brought on accusations of genocide manufactured by Hamas.
Rachel WabaGUEST
Hamas started a terrible war, and Hamas refuses to surrender.
Rachel WabaGUEST
Hamas depends on as many of its own people dying as possible for its ultimate cause, to destroy Israel.
