Guest: Former Shiloh, Israel Mayor David Rubin
Topic Focus:
The interview will delve into the complexities surrounding Israel’s defensive actions against attacks by Hamas and how these actions are being portrayed by global media.
Despite Israel’s efforts to protect its citizens, there is a significant narrative in international media that paints Israel as the aggressor. This portrayal often overlooks the initial acts of violence against Israeli civilians. Time permitting, discussions may ensue regarding the 4-hour ceasefire, allowing Gaza civilians to escape the war zone, and other breaking news in the region.
Key Discussion Points:
Disparity in Media Representation: Addressing how the media often shows Israel’s response without equally highlighting the provocations.
Global Antisemitism: Exploring the increase in antisemitic sentiment and its relation to the media portrayal of Israel.
Geopolitical Context: Discussing the demographic and geographic realities, including the contrast between the global Jewish population of about 18 million vs. Muslim population in excess of one billion, and the tiny landmass of Israel (the size of New Jersey) vs. the huge landmass of the surrounding Muslim countries.
Historical and Political Insights: Providing context on Israel’s history, its founding unanimously by the United Nations, post-Holocaust wherein one third of the worldwide population was wiped out, and the ongoing territorial disputes, especially regarding the so-called Palestinian territories.
