Been there, done that, with deadly rocket attacks over the heads of Israelis in the south of Israel, and yet again another round of elections coming up for Israelis where we are supposed to vote in leaders that PROMISE us security, but don't effectively deliver. So what's the right formula and who should we vote for?
Can the EU survive BREXIT? (and why it matters to us outside of Europe?) Also, the World is edging closer to a coronavirus pandemic as the virus spreads. What does this mean to us? And finally, Israel inches closer to elections. Many here believe that nothing will be solved after the votes are counted.
We have a choice: Sovereignty or a Palestinian State? Why Israel needs sovereignty in its Biblical Heartland!
Something is wrong. Something just doesn't add up.
A humongous rainfall in Israel as the show goes LIVE, excites Tamar and helps to further fill the Sea of Galilee! Also, more news coming out on the Coronavirus, which talks about people who speak out going 'missing', and worse. Also, the Israeli elections are coming up and there's a lot of mudslinging going back and forth. And last, an army is being formed in the European Union, as it's unity is starting to crumble!
Over 50,000 workers from the Palestinian Authority arrive in Israel every day for their jobs. If and when the devastating virus reaches the PA, Mahmoud Abbas's poorly run and trained health system will be incapable of adequately identifying, treating and isolating those infected and those at risk. Once the virus is here among us all ...and spreading, it will be of little use for PA Arabs to fall back on Israeli health facilities and services that would already be stretched to the limit.

Lots or reports and video footage are coming in from all over trying to tell us that the Chinese government is not giving out the true numbers of the dead and those infected with the Coronavirus. Videos of people dropping dead in the streets of China, claims that 50,000 people have already died with their bodies incinerated, and that over a million and a half more have contracted the virus. HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT IS TRUE? How do we discern what is fake news, and staged videos, and what is real, and how much of it is real?
The Coronavirus, the peace process and the upcoming elections.
This week Rabbi Yitzchak and William look at two very interesting verses in the book of Exodus related to the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire. Early on in chapter 13 we see that Hashem goes before the children of Israel in the pillar of cloud, however, in chapter 14 we see that the angel of Elokim is now moving from before the children of Israel in the pillar of cloud to behind the camp. The pillar of fire also moves and now these two pillars separate the camp of Israel from the camp of Egypt after the Egyptians change their minds and come after the children of Israel. Listen to the very interesting discussion from commentaries of the sages to bring light to these verses.
The 'Deal of the Century' looks a lot like the Two-State Solution - with some adjustments. But will the same tired idea of 'Land for Peace' formula really work? Will making a PLO state inside the belly of Israel really bring peace? Can Arab-Muslims be 'bought off' by Western money and investments? The business it would bring could bring prosperity to the Arabs in the Palestinian Authority, but is that what the 'really' want? Tamar discusses the issue with her guests:

In it, he talks about the hypocrisy of non-observant Jews who love celebrating the holiday, which, is actually about the right for Jews to BE Jews and keep the Torah commandments. What is the REAL and DEEPER meaning of this holiday? It's not just spinning a dreidle!
Antisemitism is alive, spreading, and growing all over the world!

Israel will now be going to it's THIRD elections inside of a year. However, no laws have been changed and it's still pretty much the same political parties and politicians that are running.

It's human nature to believe that we control the world. However, as hard as we may try, the Creator of the universe reminds us that He controls all.

What would happen if Israel were G-d forbid attacked by Iran and/or its proxies in a multi-front war? Would Israel be able to fend off the missiles, or would its cities be devastated? And what would Israel do to Iran if indeed, it's existence was at the crossroads? Would it be a real doomsday for Iran?

Does the State of Israel have to be attacked before the Nation of Israel can usher in the Messiah? How could a scenario like this happen?
Tamar Yonah interviews 'Super Jew' Schmuel Hacohen, one of the most unique people you have ever met. Schmuel used to get beat up in school as a kid, until one day someone said something that turned him into someone you were AFRAID to mess with! Thus, people nicknamed him 'Super Jew'. Earning that name even further, we hear about his time serving in the IDF, his friend who was murdered, and the farm he has for troubled-teens.

It's after elections, but there is STILL no NEW government, only an interim government. What does this mean? Will Netanyahu continue as Prime Minister? Will there be a 'rotational' government with the Blue & White? Or will we be forced to go to a THIRD election in the span of one year?
We have reached a time in history where Democracy just doesn't seem to be working so well, and Israelis are having a hard time trying to build a government.

But what should we be doing, and what is the message we are supposed to be understanding in this time period?
Israel's northern border heats up, (and a missile attack happened during the show, however the news did not come out till later.). What will be? Also, the Chinese Communist Party announced that they shall do everything in their power to prevent Trump being reelected... what's that about?

Our guest, Dr. Mordechai Ben-Menachem, author of the book: Muslim Winter https://tinyurl.com/y6g85sec explains why.
Iran is mad, the Hezbollah is mad, and it's aimed towards the Jews. Why? Also, what did U.S. President Trump say to the Jews that made many feel threatened?

It seems the knesset is just playing musical chairs. We are seeing the same politicians, but in different positions, and/or party blocks. YAWN. Is there really anyone to vote for? Is it even worth going to the polls this time around?

'Some people' are saying that the shooting attacks in America are false-flag operations, in order to take away the 2nd amendment, - the right to bear arms. The international community and the LEFT, is generally against gun ownership, and want to see gun control go into effect.

With a returning punch? -Or a total knock-out blow?

The next holocaust is a very loaded topic. It is up to us to see the signs, signals, and trends, and then immediately act in earnest! One can't 'beat' or win, against the wave of antisemitism. History has shown us this, and has taught us that the only real way to survive and live in safety is to move, and Israel is the only home for the Jewish People, and the safest place to be. Tamar dishes it out and pleads for her brothers and sisters to see the signs, and realize that not even in the academic world, on college campuses, can a Jew be free.
Tamar's ENRAGED, and her nostrils are flaring as she reads an article covering the expected scenario of the upcoming war with the Hamas in Gaza. She is passionate as she exposes the explosive flaws in Israel's military strategy under the present leadership.

Tamar plays Devil's Advocate.
