Greta heads to Gaza: What's waiting for her?

from Straight Up with Danny Seaman · host JNS

Why is Europe repeating Israel’s mistakes in dealing with Islamist extremism and what lessons from Oct. 7, 2023 are the West ignoring?  In this week’s episode of “Straight Up” with Danny Seaman, former senior official at the Prime Minister’s Office Danny Seaman exposes the dangers of pandering to radicals, the moral confusion plaguing Western societies and how misplaced empathy is fueling chaos across Europe and beyond. Hear the shocking story of anti-Israel activists vandalizing the home of New York Times executive editor Joseph Kahn. What does this reveal about the left’s self-destructive alliance with extremist groups? And why does the media obsess over criticizing Israel while excusing or ignoring the crimes of jihadist regimes? To unpack these  questions, Danny is joined by Tal Gilad, Israeli journalist, scriptwriter, television commentator and one of the creative minds behind Latma’s viral satire “We Con the World.” Together, they examine: The hypocrisy of Western activists linking climate change, anti-capitalism and anti-Israel agendas. How Europe’s guilt over colonialism and slavery is fueling irrational policies toward mass immigration and Islamist movements. The contrast between Western Europe’s collapse into crime and insecurity versus Eastern Europe’s firmer stance on borders and national identity. The exploitation of ordinary Gazans by corrupt Hamas leaders, who enrich themselves while using civilians as human shields. Why Israel’s hard-earned lessons in resilience, coexistence and security hold answers for a West now facing its own Islamist reckoning.
