Episode 484, The Andrew Parker Show - 1948 to October 7: The Historical Facts Behind Today's Middle East Conflict with special guest Steve Hunegs, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Counsel of MN and the Dakotas.

For decades, history has shaped the Middle East. Today, competing narratives are shaping how the world understands it. In Episode 484 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew welcomes back Steve Hunegs, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, for a wide-ranging discussion on Israel, antisemitism, democracy, and the growing challenge of disinformation. Drawing from historical documents, newspaper headlines, and firsthand research, Hunegs examines the events surrounding Israel's founding in 1948, the United Nations partition plan, the Arab-Israeli war, and how many of the narratives dominating today's headlines echo misconceptions that have persisted for generations. Andrew and Steve also discuss the aftermath of October 7, the rise of antisemitism across the political spectrum, the influence of social media on public discourse, Iran and its regional proxies, the future of Israel's security, and why preserving historical truth is essential to the survival of democratic societies. This thoughtful and timely conversation explores the difference between fact and fiction, the importance of historical memory, and the responsibility we all share in defending truth in the public square.
