When Tuvia Tenenbom’s in London, it’s always a pleasure to catch up with him.The Taming of the Jew, Tuvia’s book on British antisemitism and Anglo Jewry’s approach to it was showcased at London’s Jewish Book Week.And while his dim view of British Jewish leadership is pretty much the same as when he was finalising his findings back in 2019, the world has moved on and he has plenty of new observations to make. His view of progressives and woke culture, the standard of journalism across the western world and the sudden outbreak of war in the Ukraine are all covered in another gripping and vital conversation.Listen here to the one and only, Tuvia Tenenbom.

What an excitement to have a very sudden opportunity to talk to Professor Dershowitz. My friend Lawrence Ryz dropped him an email on my behalf, he said “yes”, I sent him a Zoom and off we went. And the conversation was as vibrant as it was rich in anecdotes.Just need to talk to him again after this. Among the Jeffrey Epstein/Prince Andrew trial, we discuss how free speech is being imperilled on university campus and he accuses BBC News of “advocacy not journalism”.He also tells a great golf joke about the Lubavitcher rebbe! All human life is here, listen now to Professor Alan Dershowitz.Help support Jonny Gould’s Jewish State (including Gift Aid) at https://www.donorbox.org/jgpodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Support Jonny and buy him a coffee.Yosef Haddad and Emily Schrader educate the world and rebut the lies told about the State of Israel. They’re an Israeli couple who are engaged to be married, but that doesn't mean they're a Jewish couple.Yoseph is an Arab Israeli from Nazareth while Emily, who’s Jewish is originally from Seattle, Washington in the US. They are both implacably committed to the Jewish and democratic State of Israel.Yoseph volunteered three years of his life to serve in the IDF (in the elite Golani battalion) and Emily made Aliyah when she was 23.They are highly regarded throughout the world for confronting the misinformation that libels the Jewish state in media, parliaments and educational elites every day. They came to London, where they met the Israeli ambassador, Tzipi Hotovely and headed to London’s Speaker’s Corner to take on antizionists and terrorist supporters.They then flew to Ireland and Yoseph spoke in the Irish parliament.This is an in-depth conversation in which we talk movingly about Yoseph’s army service and how the 2 million Arabs in Israel are not all Palestinians, as the media constantly simplifies.Far from it. Emily slams the Amnesty International report which dubs Israel an “apartheid state” and how their relationship represents a part of what Israel is about, Jewish and democratic. This episode also includes audio comment from Jason Greenblatt, Colonel Richard Kemp, Dr Nachman Shai and Professor Gerald Steinberg, all of whom have spoken exclusively to me in previous episodes.

While the Prime Minister fended off opposition derision and revolt from a few of his own backbenchers with his statement on Sue Gray’s pandemic partying, I was upstairs awaiting our guest who was in the chamber listening to Boris’ party piece.But it was peace of quite another kind I’d come to Parliament to talk about - with The Right Honorable Dr Liam Fox MP, chair of the UK Abraham Accords Group. The Abraham Accords is a pact which normalises relations between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.We discuss the rapid pace of change it’s bringing to the Middle East, how Dr. Fox explains Britain’s role "on the front foot" and speaking as a former Trade and Industry Secretary in charge of negotiating new trade arrangements, how strategic it is to Britain in the post-Brexit era.Jonny produces these podcasts for free.

Did Saul Singer and Dan Senor imagine their best-selling book, Start-up Nation, would reframe Israel’s brand - even its perception - right across the world?The book describes our guest today as “one of Israel’s legendary business ambassadors… whose taken on a role that anywhere else, would typically belong to the Chamber of Commerce, Minister of Trade, or Foreign Secretary.”But what is it that drives Israel’s extraordinary economic miracle and investability? And what extra dividends will peace and normalisation with the Arab world bring to the Middle East?Welcome to Jonny Gould’s Jewish State, Jon Medved, CEO of Our Crowd.This episode is not sponsored by Our Crowd, but you can support Jonny here if you like his insights and interviews about Israel.

Are you a member of a mainstream Orthodox Jewish community? Do you regard yourself as a “liberal” whether your political views are left or right? How should we include Jewish LGBTQ+ people in our communities?At the moment, they live on the fringes of the mainstream, neither included or excluded. Is that fair? Would it be so difficult to accommodate or recognise a union of two Jewish people of the same sex? Or would it bring the whole tent of Jewish values down with it?Is it the job of Judaism to resist secular trends - or is acceptance of same sex unions permanent societal progress? I’m putting this out there because the life choices presented to people in society clash with traditional, mainstream Jewish organisations, if not the values of the Jewish people who make up their membership.Ben M Freeman is a thoughtful, respectful, proud Jew and Zionist, who’s adding a key voice and ideas to the community. This is also about every Jew expressing pride in themselves and to resist non-Jewish perceptions of who we are.Have a listen and tell me what you think.
