Tomer PersicoGUEST
And so, yes, in that understanding, the establishment of the state of Israel is the return for Jews to their country.
Tomer PersicoGUEST
image of god as as bearers of rights as bearers of subjectivity and autonomy that has to be protected it's protected by the jewish state when almost every other state in the world would not protect jewish rights
JJ KimchiHOST
and the state is a sort of a political guarantee of that uh
Tomer PersicoGUEST
And that's what it is.
Avi RosenfeldGUEST
My parents went through the Holocaust.
Avi RosenfeldGUEST
If you would have told my mother in 1944 when she arrived from a train from Hungary into Auschwitz, in four years' time, there'll be a Jewish state with its own army.
Avi RosenfeldGUEST
She and everybody else would have spat at you.
Avi RosenfeldGUEST
They would have said, you're absolutely lunatic.

Avi RosenfeldGUEST
She would have told my mother in 1944 when she arrived from a train from Hungary into Auschwitz.
Avi RosenfeldGUEST
And there was dead bodies everywhere and the gas and the chimneys were spewing out human ashes.
Avi RosenfeldGUEST
And if you would have told her then in 1944, in four years time, there'll be a Jewish state with its own army.
Avi RosenfeldGUEST
She and everybody else would have spat at you.
Daniel MatzHOST
It's this heavy copy of Der Judenstaat.
Daniel MatzHOST
Right? The Jewish state.
Daniel MatzHOST
And you start reading it.
Daniel MatzHOST
Or the state of the Jews.
Benjamin MoserGUEST
So, Not because they were going to go get converted by the Pope, because nobody really took that seriously.
Benjamin MoserGUEST
And I think Herzl eventually kind of came back from that.
Benjamin MoserGUEST
But that's only three years before he writes The Jewish State.
Daniel MatzHOST
That would be very bad, actually, for the Catholic Church.
Jonny GouldHOST
Avi is a car off.
Jonny GouldHOST
Welcome to Johnny Gould's Jewish State.
Avi IssacharoffGUEST
Hi, hi.
Avi IssacharoffGUEST
Thank you, Johnny.

Avi IssacharoffGUEST
If any one of us has a hope for one day peace between Israelis and Palestinians, He needs to support the Israeli military campaign today against Hamas.
Avi IssacharoffGUEST
Because all the time that Hamas is strong and it's the regime in Gaza, there will never be peace.
Avi IssacharoffGUEST
And only after we eliminate even the option of eliminating the Jewish state, then some folks on the Palestinian side will start believing in peace.
Jonny GouldHOST
And thank you for restating that for our audience around the world.
Maria SultanHOST
It begins with a claim repeated often in Israeli political discourse.
Maria SultanHOST
that the idea of a Jewish state is not ancient, not divine, not inevitable, but a modern political construction shaped by Zionism.
Maria SultanHOST
And now we speak directly to our listeners about what that means.
Maria SultanHOST
Because when Israeli officials say Jewish state, They are not describing a homeland built on shared culture or faith.
Maria SultanHOST
They are describing a state ideology that defines citizenship, land, and power through political terms.
Maria SultanHOST
Critics argue that this ideology has been used to justify domination, expansion, and control far beyond Israel's borders.
Maria SultanHOST
This is about Zionism as a political project.
Maria SultanHOST
one that has shaped the Middle East for more than a century and continues to shape American foreign policy today.
Shana MeyersonHOST
If we're building here, that is some sort of threat.
Shana MeyersonHOST
That means there should be zero Jews, zero Jews in a future Palestinian state, but 21% Arabs in the Jewish state.
Shana MeyersonHOST
No double standards there.
Shana MeyersonHOST
And also, I'm sick of hearing this argument about Israel having bad PR.
Andrew FoxHOST
No, Israel needs good PR because their enemies have incredible PR.
Andrew FoxHOST
That's why Israel needs good PR.
Andrew FoxHOST
It's not because we're holding the Jewish state to a different standard.
Andrew FoxHOST
It's simply real politic that because the other side is so good, Israel's needs to be far, far better than it is, because as it is, they're losing the PR battle globally, literally that we've just been talking about for almost 20 minutes.
Dariyan UliginHOST
And there were still Hamas terrorists on the ground in Israel proper, in the Kibbutzim and the cities around the southern part of Israel.
Dariyan UliginHOST
And when I was walking past the Israeli consulate, I saw an entire block full of people protesting the Israeli consulate with flags that had swastikas on it, with things that had bloody hands on it, with people chanting from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, calling for the eradication of the Jewish state.
Dariyan UliginHOST
And I literally saw buses everywhere.
Dariyan UliginHOST
of people showing up, chartered buses to be there.
Dariyan UliginHOST
So this wasn't just a far left leaning thing, but now we're starting to see it within the right as well with the whole horseshoe theory.
Dariyan UliginHOST
get to this place.
Dariyan UliginHOST
What happened that in these three years, the public opinion of Israel and the Jewish state and the idea of Israel just was eroded so drastically?
Alex WelzGUEST
I think this touches so many points.
Laura IngrahamHOST
UNFULFILLED PROMISES.
Laura IngrahamHOST
AND, YOU KNOW, HE LET HIS OBSESSIVE HATRED OF THE WORLD'S ONLY JEWISH STATE CLOUD HIS JUDGMENT AND JUST HOURS AGO A VERY DEFIANT PRIME MINISTER RESPONDED IN FORCE.
Benjamin NetanyahuSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
To all those spreading these lies about my country and about our brave soldiers, whether they sit in this hall or in the office of the anti-Semitic mayor of New York, I say this.
Benjamin NetanyahuSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Shame on you.
Benjamin NetanyahuSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, you can't silence me.
Benjamin NetanyahuSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You can't silence the truth.
Benjamin NetanyahuSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The lies you and other anti-Semites spread about the Jews and the Jewish state have real consequences.
Benjamin NetanyahuSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In New York, Jews are threatened on the way to synagogue.
Andrew FoxHOST
I think I understand why they're talking such nonsense.
Andrew FoxHOST
Like, what's it for Gutierrez? He must be so politically broken or so anti-Semitic or so monomaniacally obsessed with the world's only Jewish state.
Andrew FoxHOST
That's the only reason.
Andrew FoxHOST
He's got no political reason to do this in the sense that he's trying to get reelected or has people to appease.
Joel RubinGUEST
But, uh, criticism of Israel is part and parcel of what it means to be Jewish, uh, and Israeli government policy matters.
Joel RubinGUEST
Where the difference comes in, and where I have a lot of concerns, is whether or not criticism is all about whether or not Is- Israel should exist, should be a, a Jewish state, should be, uh, a country that, uh, the m- the people who live there view as a Jewish state and want to maintain it that.
Joel RubinGUEST
Uh, if, if that is something-
Mehdi HasanHOST
Which is, which is a, which is a, uh, which is some would call an anti-Zionist position.
Peter BeinartGUEST
I-
Joel RubinGUEST
...
Joel RubinGUEST
there should be Palestinian statehood as well, but that doesn't mean you eliminate and terminate the Jewish state to get there.
Peter BeinartGUEST
Right.
