I'm Jonathan Sacerdoti

The language of international law is being stretched to breaking point. Terms once defined with precision are now deployed as instruments of moral accusation, detached from the evidentiary standards that once gave them force. In that shift, something deeper is revealed about the condition of Western institutions. Authority no longer rests securely on method, but on consensus, amplification, and the emotional force of accusation. What presents itself as a defence of human rights increasingly operates through blurred definitions, institutional capture, and self-reinforcing narratives. The result is a system that struggles to distinguish between war, crime, and rhetoric, while insisting on moral certainty.Danny Orbach is an associate professor for history and Asian studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He specialises in military history, political assassinations and coups, military adventurism, illegal orders, dynamics of military atrocities and the history of intelligence and espionage.In this conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti he challenges the widespread use of the term “genocide” in relation to Gaza, examines how international institutions, media, and academia reinforce one another in elevating contested claims into accepted truth, and how evidentiary standards are displaced by moral framing.He explores the blurring and expansion of legal definitions, the role of NGOs and the UN in shaping narratives, and the way political and intellectual pressures shape judicial and scholarly consensus. He also addresses how immigration and shifting notions of national and cultural identity are placing new strain on Western democracies, challenging their ability to define boundaries, maintain cohesion, and sustain legitimacy.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how legal language, institutional authority, and political incentives are reshaping truth, justice, and democracy in the modern world.🙏🏻 DONATE TO SUPPORT THESE INTERVIEWS: https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donate💬 We Discuss:⚖️ Why the legal definition of genocide requires specific intent and why that threshold matters🧠 How moral intuition is increasingly replacing evidentiary standards in public discourse🌐 The rise of “junctions of reliability” across the UN, NGOs, academia, and media📊 How the shift from quantitative to interpretive standards enables political manipulation🔁 The feedback loop between institutions that amplifies unverified claims into accepted truth🏛️ Why international courts may be influenced by social and intellectual pressure🧩 The gradual expansion and blurring of legal definitions in the laws of war🗳️ How modern political incentives prioritise signalling over compromise in democracies🧱 The “barnacle effect” of accumulating laws and regulations slowing institutional function🌍 Why the post-World War II rules-based order is fracturing into a more unstable system⚠️ The growing gap between liberal elites and democratic legitimacy🧭 Whether liberal democracy can reform itself before more radical alternatives emerge🔔 Subscribe for more serious and unflinching conversations about geopolitics, law, and the future of Western civilisation.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — can institutions recover their authority once definitions, evidence, and trust begin to erode, or does that loss become irreversible?

Does God exist, and can we prove it?Donate to support these interviews.There is a growing assumption in modern Western life that science has settled the question of God. That belief rests less on settled knowledge than on cultural habit, reinforced over generations of intellectual fashion and institutional authority. What once presented itself as liberation from superstition has, in many cases, hardened into a new orthodoxy, one that treats materialism as neutral and belief as deviation.Yet the scientific story itself has not remained static. Developments in cosmology, physics, and biology have introduced new tensions into that confidence. Questions of origin, order, and fine tuning continue to resist reduction to simple mechanism. The deeper the inquiry goes, the more the underlying assumptions begin to matter.In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Michel-Yves Bolloré, co-author of God, the Science, the Evidence, a book that has reached a wide audience across Europe and now enters the English-speaking world. Bolloré approaches the question not as a theologian, but as a proponent of a cumulative case built from scientific and philosophical developments over the past century. His argument rests on the claim that the balance of evidence has shifted, and that materialism now requires greater leaps of faith than it once did.The discussion moves between first principles and contested conclusions. Bolloré distinguishes sharply between the existence of a creator and the claims of organised religion, treating the former as a question of reason rather than revelation. At the same time, he extends the argument into moral philosophy and history, suggesting that questions of good and evil, as well as the endurance of certain civilisations, cannot be understood within a purely material framework.What emerges is a live dispute about the nature of explanation itself. Scientific models, philosophical commitments, and human intuitions about meaning are all in play. The conversation exposes the fault line between competing accounts of reality, each claiming rational authority, each carrying profound implications.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how modern science is being used to challenge materialism and reopen the question of God’s existence.💬 We Discuss:🔬 Why recent developments in cosmology and physics are being interpreted as evidence for a creator rather than a self-contained universe🧠 How materialism functions as a belief system with its own assumptions, rather than a neutral scientific default🌌 The implications of the Big Bang and why a universe with a beginning raises deeper questions about causation⚖️ The distinction between probability and proof, and how scientific reasoning is applied to metaphysical questions🧩 Fine tuning and whether the precision of physical constants points to design or coincidence🧪 The unresolved problem of how life emerges from non-life and why this remains a critical gap in scientific explanation📚 The relationship between science, philosophy, and religion, and whether they can coherently point in the same direction🧭 The argument that morality requires a source beyond human preference and legal convention📖 The role of historical continuity, including the survival of the Jewish people, in arguments about divine intention🧍 Human freedom, suffering, and the persistent question of evil in a world that may or may not be created with purpose🔔 Subscribe for more serious, unflinching conversations about belief, power, and the foundations of modern civilisation.📲 Follow JonathanOn XOn InstagramOn Substack👇 Comment below — does the accumulation of scientific evidence strengthen belief, or does it simply expose the limits of what science can explain?

His career sits inside one of Israel’s deepest contradictions, two communities living side by side, sharing streets and history, yet separated by language, schooling, and fear, with the public story of the conflict often shaped by the absence of ordinary contact.Jonathan Sacerdoti meets Suleiman Maswadeh in person to trace how a Palestinian Arab man raised in an observant Muslim family taught himself Hebrew as an adult and entered Israel’s mainstream media.

If you value these interviews, please consider donating: https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donateMajor General Yaakov Amidror argues that wars in the Middle East are never truly concluded. They are managed, suppressed, and deferred. Born on the day Israel declared independence and shaped by decades at the heart of its security establishment, he views October 7 not as an aberration but as the cost of strategic hesitation. The dismantling of Iran’s crescent, the degradation of Hamas, and the weakening of Hezbollah mark a significant shift in Israel’s position. None of it is final. Each front remains unfinished. Each contains the seeds of the next confrontation.In this conversation, Amidror lays out a doctrine grounded in vigilance, pre-emption and strength. Israel cannot transform the political culture of the region or impose a permanent settlement on its enemies. It can only ensure that when one war ends, preparation for the next is already under way. The question is whether the post–October 7 strategy has internalised that lesson, and whether coordination with the United States will reinforce Israeli security or restrain it at a decisive moment.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how Israel’s post–October 7 strategy is being recalibrated around pre-emption, American coordination, and the permanent management of existential threats. We Discuss:🛡️ Why dismantling Iran’s “ring of fire” has changed the strategic map, yet left unfinished fronts in Gaza, Lebanon and beyond🎯 The case for restoring pre-emptive war as a legitimate and necessary Israeli tool after years of strategic hesitation🇺🇸 How far Israel should defer to the United States on Gaza, Iran and Hezbollah, and when it must ultimately act alone🔥 Whether Hamas can ever be disarmed without direct IDF force, and what happens if American diplomacy fails🚀 The military lessons of October 7, from munitions stockpiles to manoeuvre divisions and long-range strike capacity🌍 The emerging Turkish–Qatari–Saudi alignment and what it means for Syria and the regional balance of power⚖️ Why Israeli resilience rests on necessity, mobilisation rates, and a cultural understanding that survival has no substitute📉 The limits of international legitimacy, European reliability, and Israel’s ability to influence rising antisemitism abroad🔄 What a “visible victory” truly means in a region where threats regenerate unless actively suppressed🔔 Subscribe for more serious conversations about Israel, geopolitics, security, and the future of Western civilisation.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — Has Israel achieved a decisive strategic shift since October 7, or is this merely the opening phase of a longer and more dangerous cycle?

Donate at https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donateBenny Sabti, senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, joins me at a moment of acute strain for the Islamic Republic. He argues that Tehran’s diplomatic posture follows a familiar pattern: delay, repackage old positions, concede nothing essential, preserve enrichment capability and the infrastructure of coercion. This time, Washington appears less willing to indulge the ritual, framing negotiations as a final test before more forceful options are considered.Are the renewed student protests, including at the Sharif University of Technology, a sign of genuine internal fracture or another uprising destined to be crushed? Does the re-emergence of figures such as Ali Larijani signal consolidation, desperation, or preparation for succession? Could someone like Hassan Rouhani serve as a transitional figure if pressure intensifies? And if confrontation comes, would it accelerate regime collapse or entrench it through violence?

Julia Hartley-Brewer is one of the most outspoken voices in British broadcasting. In this conversation she defends Israel with unapologetic force, describing her recent visit as life changing and arguing that after October 7 the country acted with remarkable restraint under existential threat. She says Britain and America would have responded far more ruthlessly.But this discussion goes far beyond Israel.She explains why she would now have voted for Donald Trump, why she believes lockdown was a historic political and moral failure, and why trust in government, science and the BBC has been permanently damaged. She argues that Britain has talked itself into cultural self-doubt, tolerated intolerance in the name of liberalism, and failed to defend its own borders or values.From mass immigration and deportations, to media bias over Gaza and Iran, to the psychological impact of Covid on a generation of children, this is a conversation about strength, sovereignty, and whether Britain still has the will to govern itself.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why she believes Britain is drifting, institutions are failing, and political courage is in short supply.🇮🇱 Why she says Israel showed extraordinary restraint after October 7 and has been misrepresented in Western media🇺🇸 How Donald Trump's strength is essential to deterrence📺 BBC amplification of Hamas narratives and hesitation over Iran protests🧠 Why lockdown policies shattered public trust and damaged children, families and the economy🛂 Why illegal immigration requires mass deportations and a hard reset on border control🇬🇧 Why she believes British liberal culture is superior in its freedoms and should be defended without apology🗣️ The danger of suppressing dissent while tolerating extremist rhetoric on Britain’s streets📱 How social media broke the information monopoly of legacy broadcasters⚖️ Whether Britain needs a leader willing to make deeply unpopular but necessary decisions🔔 Subscribe for more serious, unflinching conversations about Britain, Israel, free speech, and the future of Western democracies.📲 Follow JonathanOn XOn InstagramDonate👇 Comment below — has Britain lost the will to defend its values, or is a political reckoning on the horizon?This Substack is reader-supported.

Jonathan Sacerdoti travels into the Gaza Strip, embedding with the IDF along the new front line that now divides the territory.Months into the Trump brokered ceasefire, Israel holds 58 per cent of Gaza behind what they call the 'yellow line'. Hamas remains in control of the rest and declares it will not disarm. Sniper fire, tunnel discoveries and daily ceasefire violations continue, even as aid enters through Israeli controlled crossings.From fortified positions overlooking the central refugee camps to staging areas where humanitarian supplies are transferred, this on the ground report examines how Israel is enforcing its security doctrine just a kilometre from its own civilian communities.Speaking with the IDF’s international spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani, Jonathan explores Hamas’s continued tunnel building, guerrilla attacks during the ceasefire, disputed casualty figures, and the strategic calculation behind holding a majority of the Strip.The question hanging over the quiet landscape is whether this is containment, or simply the interval before renewed war.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how a ceasefire operates when territory is divided, weapons remain in place, and both sides prepare for what may come next.💬 We Discuss:🟡 Why Israel is holding 58 per cent of Gaza and what the yellow line represents in practice🔫 How Hamas continues sniper attacks and guerrilla operations during the ceasefire🕳️ The scale and persistence of the tunnel network beneath Gaza📦 How humanitarian aid is transferred across the border under Israeli control🏘️ The strategic importance of Gaza’s central refugee camps⚖️ The dispute over casualty figures and the politics of wartime information🛡️ Whether demilitarisation is achievable under the current agreement🌍 The prospects for international forces replacing the IDF presence🔔 Subscribe for more serious, on the ground reporting and analysis on Israel, Gaza and the wider Middle East.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansac...On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com/👇 Comment below — will this ceasefire endure without Hamas disarmament, or is renewed conflict inevitable?

We explore how a modern political leader drawing directly on that narrative deserves our urgent attention.Mordechai Kedar, one of Israel's most experienced scholars of Islamic culture, Arabic society, and political Islam, draws on decades of study, to explain how migration functions within Islamic tradition, how theology becomes statecraft, and why historical precedent matters in contemporary politics.We also assess Gaza after October 7th, Israel’s determination that Hamas does not return to power, and the argument for clan based emirates rather than nationalist or Islamist governance. Finally, we analyse Iran: credible threat, regime survival, ethnic fault lines, and whether decentralisation offers a more stable future than imposed unity.This is a conversation about power, legitimacy, and the operating systems beneath public rhetoric.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand what Mamdani’s Hijrah reference signifies within Islamic history — and how migration narratives intersect with political authority in the West and the Middle East.💬 We Discuss:🕌 What the Hijrah represents in Islamic political development🏙️ How religious narrative can function as a framework for public authority⚖️ The boundary between personal religious practice and political Islam🔥 What makes Israel alarmed about the Trump plan for Gaza🏛️ The case for clan based emirates over ideological nationalist movements🌍 Why heterogenous Middle Eastern states struggle for legitimacy🛢️ Whether Iran is truly afraid of Trump's threats🧭 The argument for decentralisation as a path to stability🔔 Subscribe for more serious conversations on Israel, political Islam, geopolitics, and Western institutions.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — when political leaders invoke sacred history, should voters hear metaphor, or doctrine with institutional consequences?

Iran’s regime is relying on executions, foreign fighters and extreme repression to survive.In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Dr Tamar Eilam Gindin, a specialist in Iranian language, culture and political mythology, about what she is seeing emerge inside the Islamic Republic. Drawing on reports and her own sources from within Iran, she explains how executions surged in the months that followed the 12 Day War, how protests were crushed using non-Iranian forces, and why these tactics point to a system under enormous strain.Dr Gindin describes how funerals have turned into protests, why mosques are being burned as symbols of oppression, and why removing the Supreme Leader might not dismantle the regime.The conversation also examines how Iranian regime narratives continue to shape Western media and academic analysis, and why protesters inside Iran are rallying around Reza Pahlavi.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how Iran’s uprisings will develop in the coming weeks and months.💬 We Discuss:🇮🇷 The surge in executions after the war in June🔥 The regime’s use of foreign militias against protesters🕌 The breakdown of religious legitimacy⚔️ Why removing one leader would not end the system🧠 How Western analysis misunderstands Iran👑 Who is Reza Pahlavi and why protestors chant his name🌍 What type of external pressure could actually change outcomes🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on Iran, power and global affairs.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com🙏🏻Help me make more of these videos:Donate: https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donate👇 Comment below — will the US act to end the regime, or has the moment passed?#Iran #IranProtests #IslamicRepublic #MiddleEast #RezaPahlavi #JonathanSacerdoti #TamarEilamGindin

What happens next in Iran? Will the United States strike, and if so, when? Will Israel be drawn in again, or deliberately held back this time? Will Britain take part, or remain confined to a defensive role?What would the targets actually be – nuclear facilities, missile infrastructure, or the leadership itself? And if the regime is hit hard enough to fall, who takes over? If it survives, what then?These questions sit at the centre of the Middle East right now. Military forces are already deployed. Diplomatic pressure is intensifying. The margin for miscalculation is shrinking, and whatever comes next will shape the region for years, possibly decades.In this deep and analytical conversation, Colonel Richard Kemp speaks with Jonathan Sacerdoti about the strategic reality behind the headlines. Kemp is a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan and a long standing analyst of Islamist movements, Western military power, and the politics of war. He brings operational clarity to a moment dominated by uncertainty and noise.The conversation also covers Hezbollah, Hamas, Gaza, the Houthis, and how Iran’s proxies shape escalation across the region.

Britain’s justice system is facing a profound rupture. Under the banner of efficiency and backlog reduction, reforms are being proposed that would remove large numbers of cases from jury trial, weaken appeal rights, and concentrate decision making power in the hands of the state. These changes touch principles that have defined British liberty for centuries and raise fundamental questions about our justice and democracy, and who they ultimately serve.In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks to veteran criminal defence barrister Jeremy Dein KC, whose decades at the heart of the courts give him a rare vantage point. Dein explains why dismantling jury trials will not solve the crisis it claims to address, why judges themselves are alarmed, and how political pressure, public disorder and selective enforcement are corroding trust in the rule of law. From constitutional change to the reality of two-tier justice, this discussion exposes how institutional drift becomes moral failure when the state forgets its duty to protect the individual.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how the erosion of jury trials, policing failures and selective enforcement are symptoms of a deeper crisis in British justice.💬 We Discuss:⚖️ Why jury trials are not a procedural detail but a constitutional safeguard against injustice🏛️ How proposals to reduce jury trials undermine principles dating back to Magna Carta📉 Why abolishing juries will not solve the court backlog and may worsen it👩‍⚖️ Why concentrating power creates new risks📜 The quiet removal of appeal rights and what it means for ordinary defendants🚨 Fast tracked justice and why speed can become a substitute for fairness🔍 Two tier justice and how public order policing reveals institutional fear and inconsistency🕍 The failure to protect Jewish communities from intimidation masquerading as protest🗣️ Free speech versus criminal intimidation and where the law has lost clarity🇬🇧 What all of this says about Britain’s future as a liberal democracy🔔 Subscribe for more serious and unflinching conversations about law, power and the future of British institutions.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — if jury trials and equal justice are weakened in the name of efficiency, what protections remain for the individual against the state?#JeremyDein #JonathanSacerdoti #BritishJustice #JuryTrials #RuleOfLaw #FreeSpeech #Antisemitism #UKPolitics #CivilLiberties

Donald Trump’s lawyer went on the record and said it plainly: Britain’s Jews need protection. They need somewhere to flee. He's urging the US President to let them come to America.When The Telegraph put the proposal on its front page, it was no longer a hypothetical concern whispered in private, but a public warning, issued at national level, about the condition of Britain itself.In this frank and unsettling conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Robert Garson, the Manchester-born barrister and US attorney who is close to Donald Trump, about why he believes the idea of asylum for British Jews is no longer extreme, but overdue. Garson explains how a lifetime of loyalty to Britain collided with the reality of a country that increasingly refuses to enforce its own laws when Jews are threatened.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how the US could provide refuge for British Jews, and what that idea reveals about Britain now.💬 We Discuss:🇬🇧 How Britain reached a point where asylum is openly discussed📰 Why The Telegraph front page mattered🚨 From fringe antisemitism to mass intimidation👮 Policing, fear, and the refusal to enforce the law🇺🇸 Why the US responded differently after October 7🛡️ Jewish self defence and the limits of state protection🎓 Universities, emigration, and collapsing confidence🏛️ Institutional weakness inside British Jewish leadership✈️ Asylum, visas, and the search for alternatives⚠️ What Britain risks losing if its Jews decide to leave📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com

For nearly half a century the Islamic Republic has ruled Iran through fear, censorship and organised cruelty. It has crushed dissent at home while exporting terrorism abroad, and it has relied on a simple calculation: that the world would look away while its own people suffered in silence.Today that calculation is collapsing.Across Iran, ordinary men and women are rising against a regime that has impoverished them, humiliated them and treated their lives as disposable. They are marching in the streets knowing they may never return home. And for the first time in decades, they feel that the outside world might finally be listening.In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti is joined by Iranian activist Niyak Ghorbani, one of the most visible organisers of protests in the United Kingdom and a relentless opponent of both the Islamic Republic and the antisemitic movements it sponsors. Drawing on his own experience of life under the regime, and on the stories of family and friends still trapped inside Iran, he describes what this moment feels like from the inside.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why the battle for Iran’s future matters far beyond its borders, and why this uprising feels different from all those that came before.💬 We Discuss:🇮🇷 What daily life under the Islamic Republic is really like for ordinary Iranians🔥 Why this wave of protests feels closer to regime change than ever before🇺🇸 How Donald Trump’s words transformed Iranian morale📺 The failure of mainstream media to report the uprising honestly👮‍♂️ Niyak’s own arrests in Britain for opposing antisemitic marches🕊️ The bravery of protesters who know they may be killed for demonstrating👑 Why many Iranians now rally behind Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi🌍 How Iran’s struggle mirrors the rise of Islamist influence in the West📱 Social media, citizen journalism and the fight to break regime censorship⚠️ The lessons Britain should learn from Iran before it is too late🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about world affairs, freedom and the fight for truth.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com

Europe’s relationship with Israel has never been simple. It is shaped by history soaked in blood, by moral claims born from catastrophe, and by institutions that insist on speaking in the language of values while acting through interest. In the aftermath of October 7, those tensions have hardened, exposing fractures between governments and peoples, ideology and reality, rhetoric and reliance.As Europe’s political centre shifts and its demographics change, Israel finds itself simultaneously condemned in public and depended upon in practice. Accusations of antisemitism collide with strategic cooperation. Recognition of Palestinian statehood sits uneasily alongside intelligence sharing, weapons procurement, and military coordination. The question is no longer whether Europe and Israel disagree, but whether they still understand each other at all.In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti is joined by former Israeli Ambassador to the EU and NATO Ronny Leshno Yaar, and Professor Sharon Pardo of Ben Gurion University, to examine whether Europe has turned against Israel, or whether the reality is more structurally complex and morally uncomfortable. Drawing on diplomatic experience, academic analysis, and personal history, they explore Europe’s changing identity, the return of antisemitism, Israel’s missteps in European politics, and the quiet depth of cooperation that continues despite the noise.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why Europe’s posture towards Israel appears hostile yet remains dependent, and what that means for Israel’s future in a changing West.💬 We Discuss:🧭 Why Europe is not a single actor, but a shifting collection of interests, institutions and contradictions🧬 How Jewish history is embedded in European identity, and why that inheritance is now contested📉 The return of antisemitism after October 7, and Europe’s failure to confront it structurally🏛️ How Israel aligned with Europe’s right and what it gained and lost by doing so🛡️ Europe’s quiet military and intelligence defence of Israel, despite public condemnation✈️ Why people to people ties, from academia to travel, may matter more than diplomacy⚖️ Whether Israel can afford deep cooperation with Europe while facing existential political disagreements🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about world affairs, freedom and the fight for truth.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com/👇 Comment below — can Israel and Europe remain partners if they no longer share a moral language?#Israel #Europe #EuropeanUnion #Antisemitism #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #JonathanSacerdoti

Fleur Hassan Nahum has worked at the sharp end of politics, media and national crisis. As a former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem and Special Envoy for Innovation, she has dealt directly with international leaders, hostile broadcasters and the pressures that follow war into every public space.In this conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she lifts the lid to reveal the real workings of media and politics, drawing on her own personal experience. She reflects on her repeated appearances on Piers Morgan Uncensored and explains why she became increasingly critical of the programme, and the man.

Condemned by mobs on the streets of the West, denounced by governments across Europe and beyond, and vilified by the United Nations and its satellite institutions, Israel might nevertheless be in a stronger strategic position than at any point in its history.Two years after October 7th, Israel’s international standing has deteriorated even as its regional power has expanded. What appears in Western capitals as isolation and moral failure is understood very differently in the Middle East, where strength is measured not by approval but by the capacity to act, to endure condemnation, and to defeat enemies who interpret restraint as weakness.In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Dan Schueftan, Head of the International Graduate Programme in National Security at the University of Haifa, about why Israel is emerging from this war in a dramatically improved strategic position, despite unprecedented hostility from Western opinion.Schueftan argues that Israel has dismantled Iran’s regional architecture piece by piece, humiliated Islamist movements across multiple fronts, and forced Arab regimes to confront an uncomfortable reality. Their own survival now depends less on Western guarantees and more on a strong, feared, and determined Israel.The discussion moves beyond the battlefield to examine why Europe has drifted from strategic thinking into ideological paralysis, why progressive politics treats self defence as a moral failure, and why Israel’s greatest strength lies not in its political leadership but in a society willing to fight, endure and rebuild without illusions.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why Israel’s unpopularity in the West has coincided with a historic consolidation of power in the Middle East, and what that reveals about the condition of Western civilisation.💬 We Discuss: 🧱 Why legitimacy in the West matters less than deterrence in the Middle East 🔥 How Iran’s proxy network was degraded through sequential confrontation 🛡 Why fear, not affection, is the foundation of regional stability 🏛 How European politics abandoned strategy for moral exhibitionism 🧠 Why progressive ideology treats weakness as virtue 👨‍👩‍👧 How Israeli social resilience outperformed political leadership ⚔ The shift from reactive defence to pre emptive security doctrine🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Britain, freedom and the fight for truth.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — can a society survive when it confuses moral approval with the will to defend itself?#Israel #DanSchueftan #JonathanSacerdoti #MiddleEast #Iran #WesternCivilisation #Security #Geopolitics

For years, British public life told itself a comforting lie: that tolerance meant silence, that compassion meant compliance, and that asking hard questions was somehow immoral. Josh Howie no longer believes that story.In this uncompromising conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Howie explains how comedy, journalism and politics were quietly captured by fear. Not fear of violence, but fear of social punishment: being labelled, deplatformed, or cast out for stating obvious truths.Now host of Free Speech Nation on GB News, Howie describes how institutions surrendered their authority through cowardice rather than coercion. He traces how activists reshaped language, how journalists abandoned clarity, and how dissent was redefined as extremism.He also speaks candidly about antisemitism on the contemporary left, the vulnerability of Jews caught between hostile extremes, and why historical memory makes neutrality impossible. What emerges is a conversation about free speech not as a slogan, but as the last line of defence between democracy and ideological conformity.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how Britain reached a point where telling the truth feels like a political act.💬 We discuss:🎭 Why comedians became the last people willing to speak plainly📰 How mainstream media normalised omission and distortion🧠 The capture of language and the policing of thought⚖️ Why women’s rights and biological reality were reframed as hate🕍 Antisemitism on the left and the collapse of old political loyalties🏛️ How institutions surrendered authority through fear and careerism🧭 Political homelessness and the erosion of left–right meaning🚨 Why dissent is now treated as danger rather than necessity🗣️ Free speech as a cultural immune system — and what happens when it fails🔔 Subscribe for more unflinching conversations about power, culture and the battle for truth in Britain.📲 Follow Jonathan:X: https://x.com/jonsacInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/

For more than half a century, Professor Mordechai Kedar has studied Arabic language, Islamic texts and Middle Eastern political culture from the inside. A former Israeli military intelligence officer and one of Israel’s most seasoned experts on Arab society, he has spent decades listening to what the region says in its own words, not through Western translations or assumptions.In this far reaching conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Kedar argues that the West’s greatest failure is not moral but interpretive. Immigration, Islam and integration, he says, are routinely analysed through liberal democratic frameworks that simply do not apply. Drawing on history, theology and direct engagement with the region, he explains why migration has a radically different meaning inside Islamic thought, why movements like the Muslim Brotherhood see Western societies themselves as occupied space, and why democracy is not a shared universal ideal.Rather than offering a policy argument, Kedar presents a civilisational diagnosis. He traces how post colonial guilt, demographic change and cultural self doubt have combined to leave Europe and America defending themselves with rules their opponents neither share nor respect. The danger, he warns, is not extremism alone, but a society that has forgotten how to name the difference between tolerance and surrender.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why debates about immigration and Islam are really about power, identity and whether the West still believes in its own legitimacy.💬 We Discuss:🧠 Why understanding Arabic language changes how you hear Islamist politics📜 How Islamic history frames migration as authority, not resettlement🏛️ Why democracy and equality are not culturally universal concepts🕌 Islam versus Islamism, and why avoiding the distinction is fatal🌍 How post colonial thinking reshaped European decision making📈 Demography, birth rates and why trends become destiny🚨 The Muslim Brotherhood’s long strategy and its influence in the West🏘️ Integration, parallel societies and where the line is crossed⚖️ Why liberal systems struggle against illiberal movements⏳ Whether Europe and America still have time to recover cultural confidence🔔 Subscribe for more serious conversations about extremism, identity and the future of Western civilisation.📲 Follow Jonathan:X: https://x.com/jonsacInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com

A filmmaker set out to document the fallout of October seventh. Instead, she uncovered something far larger and far darker: a coordinated ideological capture of Western institutions, a foreign-funded corrosion of democratic values, and a generation primed to cheer for extremists before the bodies in Israel had even been counted. Wendy Sachs joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for a stark, unflinching look at how the world lost its bearings on October eighth, and why the shockwaves are still reshaping global politics today.Sachs traces the journey from campus slogans to international propaganda machines: the sudden mobilisation of Students for Justice in Palestine, the foreign financing behind them, and the decades-long strategy to infiltrate universities, media and social platforms. She reveals how Qatar, Iran and China have poured billions into Western education while demanding silence about their own regimes, how academics have embraced an oppressor–oppressed fiction that rewards extremism, and how young people were ideologically groomed long before October seventh made the crisis visible.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why October eighth wasn’t a reaction — it was a revelation.💬 We Discuss:📽️ How October 8th exposes the ideological collapse after the Hamas massacre🗽 The Times Square celebrations before the dead were even named🎓 The hidden foreign funding behind SJP and campus radicalism🔺 The origins of the red-triangle symbol and why its use is a call to violence📡 Decades of Hamas messaging strategy revealed in FBI wiretaps🌍 How anti-Zionism became the fashionable disguise for old antisemitic tropes💸 Qatar, China and Iran’s billion-dollar grip on Western universities📚 The academic shift from scholarship to indoctrination🧠 How TikTok and social algorithms manufactured a generation’s worldview🏛️ Why institutions police “offence” but not extremism🎞️ Why Hollywood is now a battleground for foreign influence🔥 The climate of hate: from campus cancellations to political assassinations🕊️ How Jews rediscovered identity — and why the crisis reaches far beyond them⚖️ What it will take for democracies to fight back, and whether they still can🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about democracy, extremism and the future of the free world.📲 Follow Jonathan:X: https://x.com/jonsacInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/Watch without adverts if you subscribe on Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — Are Western institutions still capable of defending themselves, or has the ideological capture gone too far?

David Collier joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for one of his clearest and most wide-ranging conversations yet about Britain, the media, extremism and the pressures reshaping public life. Drawing on years of undercover work inside activist movements, online networks and university groups, Collier explains what he has seen from the inside — and why he believes the country is struggling to understand the forces acting on it.Collier didn’t set out to become an investigator. His career began in Israel, before returning to a Britain he barely recognised. That shock pushed him to look more closely: into anti-Israel activism, into how information flows from Gaza to British newsrooms, and into the way online platforms drive people toward extremes. The picture he’s built over years of research has made him one of the most cited independent analysts of media bias and modern extremism in the UK.Watch if you want a clear, detailed account of the pressures shaping Britain — from someone who has spent years mapping them.💬 We Discuss:🕵️‍♂️ How Collier went undercover inside anti-Israel and activist networks🌐 Social media echo chambers and how they distort public life🎥 The BBC’s Gaza documentary and what it revealed about reporting pipelines🧩 Why Western journalism struggles to read Middle Eastern information sources📉 Cultural confidence, national identity and public trust🚨 The rise of political Islam and its influence on British politics📊 Demographic change and why it matters in Collier’s analysis🏫 NGO and university culture, and how activist currents spread🪧 Public symbolism: Palestinian flags, British flags and what each signals⚖️ Why Jews increasingly feel unsure of their place in the UK📣 How mainstream parties have mishandled these challenges🔎 What Collier believes the next decade could look like for BritainSubscribe for more conversations about Britain, culture and the forces shaping our future.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com

A landmark tribunal has ruled that Islam critical beliefs are protected under the Equality Act, and the man at the centre of that historic decision, Patrick Lee, sits down with Jonathan Sacerdoti for his first full, unfiltered interview since the judgment shook Britain’s institutions.Patrick Lee is an actuary who never sought public attention, yet found himself monitored, censured and threatened by his own professional body for simply quoting Islamic scripture and raising concerns about extremism, women’s rights and child protection. His case exposed a troubling truth: Britain has become far more comfortable policing offence than confronting doctrines that harm the vulnerable.In this powerful conversation, Lee explains how he went from a quiet private citizen to the unlikely figurehead of a legal battle about free speech, Islam and the limits of criticism in a supposedly liberal democracy. He details how the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries secretly scrutinised his tweets, why the tribunal finally defended his right to speak, and what his victory means for every citizen who refuses to lie about reality.This is not just a story about one man. It is a warning about what happens when fear governs public life, when institutions appease extremism, and when silence becomes a national reflex.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why Britain is losing its moral courage — and why this ruling may be a turning point.💬 We Discuss:📜 The tribunal decision protecting Islam critical beliefs in UK law🕌 Why Lee began scrutinising Islamic doctrine post 11 September📚 The violent Qur’anic and hadith texts he publicly highlighted🧕 How teachings on women, girls and child marriage shaped his concerns🚔 The grooming gangs scandal and the culture of enforced silence🏛️ His regulator’s secret monitoring of his social media🧩 The critical distinction between attacking ideas and attacking people⚖️ How sensitivity culture now outranks child safety and women’s rights🔥 The reach of cancel culture inside British institutions🕊️ Why free speech is the essential foundation of democracy🇮🇷 The role of Masih Alinejad’s warnings about Iran in the context of his tweets🧠 The moral duty to speak when everyone else is afraid🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Britain, freedom and the fight for truth.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — Does protecting criticism of Islam mark the beginning of Britain’s free speech fightback?

The BBC is facing its biggest crisis in decades — but the scandal isn’t just about two resignations. It’s about years of skewed reporting, buried corrections, and a newsroom culture that has normalised bias while persuading the public that it stands for impartial truth.In this revealing conversation, Hadar Sela, co-editor of CAMERA UK and one of the most meticulous analysts of BBC coverage anywhere, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti to peel back the layers of structural failure inside the BBC: the habits, blind spots, and editorial decisions that have shaped public perception of Israel, terrorism, and the Middle East for over a decade.What you’ll hear in this eye-opening discussion:📺 Why years of complaints and warnings about BBC bias were ignored🧩 How “mistakes” always seem to land in the same ideological direction📰 The hidden power of the BBC’s archive as a distorted historical record🚨 The Gaza hospital story: a case study in misreporting and zero accountability⚖️ Why the “what we knew at the time” defence has become a shield against truth🧾 How the BBC relies on activists, partisan NGOs, and compromised sources💣 Why Palestinian terror attacks are almost never reported — and what that omission achieves🧠 The newsroom culture that discourages dissent and buries internal criticism📉 BBC Verify: why the fact-checking unit often amplifies misinformation instead of correcting it🔍 How corrections arrive months or years late, quietly, and without transparency🗂️ Why an external investigation — not internal reforms — may be the BBC’s only hope🇮🇱 How skewed reporting has helped normalise public debate about Israel’s very right to exist🔻 The human cost of selective storytelling: Israelis displaced, traumatised, or killed yet barely covered📢 What an independent complaints system could look like — and why the current process is broken beyond repair🎧 Listen to this episode if you want to understand not just what has gone wrong inside the BBC, but why it keeps happening — and why so many journalists, former staff, and media analysts are now calling for radical external oversight.___🔔 Subscribe for more in-depth conversations on media, politics, and the battle for truth.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — Do you think the BBC can still be fixed from within, or is external scrutiny the only way forward?

The most powerful images in today’s pro-Palestinian campaigns aren’t new — they’re borrowed from Christianity. From the Madonna and Child to David and Goliath, centuries-old sacred symbols have been re-cast to portray Palestinians as modern saints and martyrs, reshaping Western sympathy through religious familiarity.In this gripping conversation, Professor Miri Rubin (Queen Mary University of London), one of Britain’s leading medieval historians, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti to expose how the emotional grammar of Christian art has been weaponised for political ends — and how its echoes are visible everywhere from social media to pop culture, from the left to the right, and on the front pages of global newspapers.What you’ll hear in this fascinating discussion:🕍 How Jewish imagery shaped medieval Christianity — and its legacy in Western art🕊️ Why Christian iconography still dominates moral storytelling today📸 How propaganda reuses sacred imagery to provoke emotional reactions🧠 The psychological power of the “mother and child” pose in photojournalism⚔️ Why Palestinian PR borrows visual language from Christian Europe💀 How medieval blood libels echo in today’s online antisemitism🎭 What modern culture learned from the Church about emotional persuasion📷 The blurred line between journalism, activism, and visual manipulation🤖 How AI images will intensify the next wave of ideological propaganda🎧 Listen to this episode and discover how the ghosts of medieval art haunt our digital age — and how understanding their origins helps us see modern imagery more clearly.🔔 Subscribe for more in-depth conversations on history, media, and meaning.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — Do you think ancient religious symbols still shape how we see modern conflicts?

Michael Gove, former Cabinet Minister and one of Britain’s most articulate conservative thinkers, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for an unflinching conversation about the perilous state of Britain — a nation he says is “desperate” and in danger of moral collapse.From Islamist extremism on British streets to the cowardice of the political class, Gove warns that antisemitism is not a Jewish problem but a British sickness — a sign that the West has lost its faith, its confidence, and its sense of right and wrong.He argues that Islamism, like Nazism and Marxism before it, is a totalitarian ideology — one that Britain’s elites have failed to confront. He calls out the Foreign Office, the media, and academia for their naïve hostility to Israel, their indulgence of terror sympathisers, and their betrayal of Western civilisation’s own values.In this powerful and wide-ranging discussion, Gove reflects on the rise of Farage and Reform UK, on Tommy Robinson, on Israel’s fight for survival, and on the need to rediscover Britain’s Judeo-Christian moral core before it’s too late.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how the West lost its nerve — and how it might just find it again.💬 We Discuss:⚰️ Britain’s growing antisemitism — “a tragedy that bears examination”🕌 Islamism, the new totalitarianism replacing Marxism🇮🇱 Why hatred of Israel reveals hatred of the West itself🏛️ The Foreign Office’s “permanent bias” against Israel🕍 Attacks on synagogues and the illusion of Jewish safety in Britain🎭 The far left and far right meeting in antisemitic conspiracy🚔 Two-tier policing and surrendering Britain’s streets🎤 Tommy Robinson, Farage, and the politics of rebellion🏴‍☠️ The ideological alliance between Islamists and neo-Nazis📚 How Britain’s intellectual class lost its moral bearings🕊️ Judeo-Christian values as the foundation of liberty and equality🔥 Why losing faith means losing civilisation itself🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Britain, freedom, and the fight for truth.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — Has Britain already crossed the line into moral surrender?

When Israel agreed to release hundreds of convicted terrorists in exchange for its hostages, Tal Hartuv discovered that one of them was the man who stabbed her 18 times and murdered her friend.In this deeply moving and unsparing conversation, Tal speaks to Jonathan Sacerdoti from Jerusalem, describing the impossible emotions of watching her attacker walk free — anger and disbelief mixed with relief that Israeli hostages are finally coming home.She reflects on her survival, on the moral price Israel is being forced to pay, and on the West’s complicity in distorting that reality.
