The only one that matters is of course, the next General Election which isn’t until 2029 at the latest. Despite that, and a massive majority in the commons, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is treating Reform UK like the opposition, with the Tories in turmoil. Would you vote for Reform? Is it safe to vote for them? How do you feel about Nigel Farage? Can we trust Reform? Are our lives as Jewish people in Britain secure? So right here, let’s confront the challenging realities of the British media’s relentless antiIsrael barrage, and with it escalating security concerns.

As the founder of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, Dumisani shares his extraordinary path - born and raised in the African American church and studying classical piano, to discovering his deep connection with Israel and founding a movement to bridge the gap between Black and Jewish communities. In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Dumisani exposes the dangerous manipulation of Black identity by movements like BLM, reveals how Iran and anti-Zionist ideologies are infiltrating minority spaces, and explains the true historical bond between Africa and Israel — a bond rooted in Scripture, music, and justice. He shares what happened after his first visit to Israel, how antisemitism in America is being repackaged for a new generation, and why Black-Jewish unity is more urgent than ever post October 7th.

It's a hearty football discussion with the one and only David Pleat, featuring Paulo di Canio, chicken soup, Alex Ferguson, chopped liver, Brian Clough & Peter Taylor and Leslie Silver at Leeds. Oh, and throw in Chris Waddle and mum's meatballs for good measure. Tipped as “the next Tom Finney” as an England Schoolboy, David rejected the overtures of a host of clubs to stay at home, finish his ‘O’ Levels and enjoy his mum's home-cooking. David's autobiography, "Just One More Goal", available wherever books are sold, tells his story from an upbringing in Nottingham through a successful managerial career at Luton, Tottenham, Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday. He's still involved in the game as a scout for Scottish champions, Celtic. Nothing is off bounds as David also addresses the allegations of kerbcrawling made against him while at Luton, and whether he experienced antisemitism in the game.

From her early years in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community to building a billion-dollar global fashion powerhouse, she shares the gripping, often painful journey behind the headlines. This is the woman behind My Unorthodox Life—but what she reveals here goes far beyond reality TV. In this interview, Julia opens up about what really drove her to walk away from a life of religious constraints, how she built Elite World Group from the ground up, and why comfort and beauty don’t have to be opposites. She shares how a scene from Bridget Jones’s Diary sparked her revolutionary shapewear brand, why she believes God is closer to her now than ever before, and how she balances deep Jewish pride with fierce criticism of religious extremism. She also speaks openly about receiving death threats, witnessing the devastation of October 7 firsthand, and why unity among Jews—regardless of

Agree or disagree, Joe Walsh’s counter-intuition on American politics, Donald Trump and the Middle East is hard to ignore.  With one and half million followers across his social media channels, Joe, who served Illinois's 8th district in the House of Representatives returns to Jonny Gould’s Jewish State for a second time.  Because having appeared on the show before Donald Trump’s second election victory, here’s why. A lifelong Republican with a penchant for throwing a Tea Party, Joe opposed Donald Trump so much, he voted Kamala for the White House - whatever their differences.  He said the two-party system needed a shakeup. Oh, and he also told me in his first ever response to my first ever question to him: "I want to retire and die in Israel".  Not Jewish. An American Catholic. So does he believe in Israel’s society more than America's? So much to catchup on. Hold tight, here’s Joe Walsh. Jonny Gould's Jewish State is proudly supported by Dangoor Education

“I can’t align with Palestinian protests and they say I’m less Irish because of it”. Rachel Moiselle is a young woman born and bred in Dublin, a PhD. student who calls herself a city girl. She loves the place she grew up in - but the feeling among her people isn’t much reciprocated. Raised a Roman Catholic, her father’s family were Jewish - and in standing up for Ireland’s community of around 3,000, Rachel’s found out the hard way about antisemitism since October 7th. She’s been shunned, cancelled and lost friends. But she wouldn’t change a thing - oh, except one, that is, she’s fully converting to Judaism. Rachel gives her first ever interview to Jonny Gould about the life she's been thrust into since October 7th.

You can help me with a coffee here. "There are two million Palestinians in Gaza!", they cry. All the time. It's repeated as fact. "Bringing Judea and Samaria into Israel would create an Arab majority". Is that right? Quite apart from being untrue, the problem with these statements is that Israel creates policy based on them. So is it time to establish real facts about population and childbirth? Where is the population momentum? Does it lie with Jewish Israelis or their Arab neighbours? Our guest today is Yoram Ettinger, who challenges conventional narratives about population trends in Israel and the Palestinian territories.  His extensive experience diverges from most assumptions.

The podcast which prides itself in introducing new voices to the world on the issues we all care about. This is Shannon Seban, a young standout politician from Paris. She’s a conviction politician who believes if you behave otherwise, eventually you’ll lose trust and votes. Shannon currently serves as a municipal councilor in Rosny-sous-Bois and president of Macron’s Renaissance party in Seine-Saint-Denis, it’s where she was born and raised, a diverse and socio-economically challenged area.  Her upbringing there has significantly shaped her politics, she challenges stereotypes about youth from underprivileged neighborhoods. But it comes at quite cost. From Algerian Jewish background, She filed complaints about antisemitic abuse she received during her campaign in 2023 and 2024. She refuses to kowtow to any party line, so where does she stand on President Macron since October 7th. Is Macron becoming a liability? Is she being courted by other parties? How far can she go in French politics? This is Shanno

There’s a higher consciousness and awareness about Tal Hartuv.  She's grounded but spiritual, realistic but also optimistic.  Because Tal’s very existence since 2010 is an improbable miracle. She makes one imagine the dead returning to recount the experience of their murder.  In December of that year, she was brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists while hiking the hills around Jerusalem alongside her friend, Kristine Luken, an American Christian.  Kristine was murdered next to her, but Tal survived by playing dead despite severe injuries, including 18 machete wounds and numerous broken bones. Tal describes in disturbing detail the attack itself (don’t look away) and then reflects on how its changed her, what she was like before and after it, what she thinks of the current

I was in Brussels as the European Jewish Association gathered experts together from all backgrounds to discuss Middle East post October 7th. In between sessions in the hotel conference centre, I found myself outside the entrance with Ghaith al-Omari, taking in the fresh air and we started talking.  Sporting a blue pinstripe suit, Bohemian ponytail and smoking what looked like a Gitanes, Ghaith and I drummed up a chat that moved onto the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, which he was involved in.  As part of the Palestinian Authority, he advised the negotiating team during the permanent-status negotiations for two years from 1999, including the Camp David summit and the Taba talks. It broke down, as we know, but then he helped draft the Geneva Initiative, an unofficial model aimed at a modified resolution. He’s now a Senior Fellow at The Washington Institute, where he continues to provide insights on Palestinian politics, M

Is Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office a cause for celebration in Jerusalem, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh - and fear in Tehran?  Is the multipolar world but a consequence of America’s loosened grip on the world by previous administrations? Will President Trump reassert his nation on the world stage?  And the hostage deal: what should we make of its grievous cost in terms of future security with the release of hundreds of convicted murderers? Will we see a reprise of the terror which allowed Gilad Shalit to come home in exchange for a thousand killers, including Yahya Sinwar, architect of October 7th? These are the vital questions I got to ask Dr. Dan Diker, who I caught up with on a flying visit to London.  Dan, who’s based in Israel is President of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs.  He's written six books exposing the “apartheid antisemitism” phenomenon in North America and authored studies on Iran’s race for regional suprem

It’s an honour to discuss and unpack this problem in academia with world-renowned scholar on antisemitism, Professor David Hirsh. Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London, David focuses on contemporary antisemitism, crimes against humanity and totalitarianism.  He's also Academic Director and CEO of the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and he founded "Engage," a campaign against the academic boycott of Israel.  David has a BSc from City University, London, an MA in Philosophy and Social Theory from the University of Warwick, and a PhD from Warwick where he wrote his dissertation on "Crimes Against Humanity and International Law." He authored "Contemporary Left Antisemitism" exploring the left-wing

I’m releasing this key episode of the Benjamin Anthony Show on Jonny Gould's Jewish State, and you can follow the show here. Benjamin is joined as always by MirYam Institute's in-house military analyst, Yaakov Lappin, as they discuss the hostage deal's implications for Israeli society, the IDF, Israel's security and the hostage families and whether it might collapse amid the murderous bad faith of Hamas. They also analyze what might have been offered as a "sweetener" by incoming President Trump to Prime Minister Netanyahu and whether or not U.S. collaboration around the targeting of Iran's nuclear weapons program may be what pursuaded Israel's premiere to step back from several of his stated red-lines.  While Benjamin and Yaakov celebrate the return of every hostage, they present notes of caution about the consequences the deal might bring about.

Tasked with making testy opinion pieces straight down the barrel at Sky News Australia, Erin was removed rather abruptly from her starring role towards the end of 2024. Aside from her forthright journalism, it's her background which also makes her so compelling. Moving around the world as a child, her father Jim Molan was a Major General in the Australian Army and later a liberal senator in Parliament. What he taught her and what it means to her looms large here.  A fluent speaker of Indonesian, Erin grew up in the world's largest Muslim nation.

Find more from Jonny here. This is Survivor, an animated film created by puppeteer and cartoonist, Zoom Rockman. It's the story of Auschwitz and Dachau survivor, Ivor Perl BEM, based upon his Holocaust memoir, Chicken Soup Under The Tree. The first screening in London took place in November 2024 and you'll hear Ivor and Zoom reflect on the movie and why it's so important. I’ve had the privilege of having a one-to-one conversation with Ivor at his London home, where he shared his harrowing experiences and reflected on the reawakening of antisemitism today. This is a Lemon Soul film, in loving memory of Jonny Zucker, an inspirational teacher, fantastic children's author, who celebrated reading among kids and envisioned educational ideas such as this movie.
