Since October 7th, a global battlefield has emerged in which Israel is required, again and again, to justify its very right to defend its citizens, while its enemies are hardly required to explain anything. Within this arena, there are a few who have chosen to stand on the front lines, not with weapons, but with ideas, law, and moral principles. One of the most prominent among them is this episode’s guest: Professor Alan Dershowitz, one of the world’s leading legal scholars and a public intellectual who has operated for decades in the corridors of power in Washington, Jerusalem, and the Arab world, driven by a deep commitment to the Jewish people and the State of Israel. During our conversation, we discussed: • The personal and moving moment in which he defined himself as “a soldier of the State of Israel” • Whether his conception of peace has changed since October 7th • The global battle over public opinion and its diplomatic consequences • The need for an educational revolution in Gaza as a condition for any stable future arrangement • The renewed rise of antisemitism around the world • Disappointment with academic elites and the reality on leading campuses • The identity challenge facing the younger Jewish generation in a world that questions the justice of its path • Antisemitism as a shaping force in international relations, not merely a social phenomenon • A fascinating constitutional perspective on the possibility of a third Trump term • And the closing personal question: What does being Jewish mean to you?
