Too often the black community and the Jewish community are pitted against each other in the US. Marked by outsiders as rival minorities fighting for a limited space on the political stage. But this narrative is driven from outside the community by those looking to bring both groups down, while serving their own interests.

Dumisani is a pastor, professional musician and author whose latest book is the second edition of Zionism & the Black Church: Why Standing with Israel Will be a Defining Issue for Christians of Color in the 21st Century.

What is going on in Lebanon today? We speak with a man who has been on the ground in south Lebanon, and has seen with his own eyes the terrifying infrastructure Hezbollah has built there. With entire villages set up to hide the terror army’s military assets, the IDF is now forced to go house-to-house, tree-to-tree to find the whole city blocks that were built underneath.

Major (Res.) Doron Spielman has spent decades working in the IDF spokespersons’ office, helping the world to understand how the IDF operates. He describes in detail what he saw with his own eyes. He and Eylon sit for an in-depth conversation detailing how Hezbollah have been planning a full-blown invasion into Israel’s north.

Many beauty queens dream of world peace, but few literally go out and do it. Noa Cochva was crowned Miss Israel 2021 and represented Israel at Miss Universe 2021, yet just a couple of years later she found herself in uniform again fighting for Israel in the wake of the horrors of the October 7th massacre.

When it comes to fighting for Israel, Noa knows what it means to be on the front lines and now also serves as an activist for the country, taking to the streets of America, where she has been pummeled by protestors and threatened at knife point, just for the crime of standing up for Israel. Eylon sits down with Noa to discuss her work and to ask what a beauty queen can do to help Israel win the PR battle as this war rages on.

Peter Berkowitz, former Director of Policy Planning at the US Department of State, offers a candid, insider’s view of how U.S. foreign policy is shaped and often hindered by entrenched bureaucratic dynamics. In this interview, filmed at the Hudson institute in Washington D.C., Eylon Levy and Berkowitz reflect on the global implications of the October 7th Hamas attack and critiques the failure of Western diplomacy to adequately respond to the Iranian-backed threat. He discusses the ideological divides within the State Department, the persistence of flawed policies like the two-state solution, and the limitations of diplomatic engagement with Iran. Berkowitz also highlights the West’s dangerous complacency regarding Iran’s influence in the Middle East and how U.S. foreign policy could be reoriented to more effectively support Israel and deter regional adversaries. This conversation sheds light on the complexities of decision-making in Washington and the broader challenges facing international relations.
