Why are there so many Jewish rituals (mitzvot)? Isn't faith in G-d enough?
How can we better understand rituals and their importance. How can we connect to ritual...especially those that we cannot logically comprehend? Where do ritual and faith in G-d meet and why can't one stand without the other.

Jews in the U.S. are being targeted daily, assaulted in broad daylight by myriad anti-Semites and the secular Jewish establishment remains, remarkably, silent. Is there a reason for the disunity?

Violent Antisemitism is on the rise in an unlikely location - the United State

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/737128201" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true" width="100%" height="300" iframe="true" /]

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant bring back Dan Diker of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs to address what is behind the disturbing rise of violent anti-Semitic attacks against Jews in the US and Europe. Diker is the Director of the Program to Counter Political Warfare at the JCPA. He is the editor and author of monographs and books concerning the radical origins of the international BDS campaign, anti-Israeli Students for Justice in Palestine connected to Hamas and normalization of relations between Arabs and Jews in Israel, Judea and Samaria. The program reflected the increasing concern of more than 13 attacks against members of the Chassidic communities in New York and New Jersey in the last month of 2019. Those attacks that resulted in the deaths of four persons at a Kosher Super Market in Jersey City, New Jersey and a machete attack in Monsey, New York injuring five, one severely, on the Seventh evening of Hanukkah. They were perpetrated by African Americans espousing Israel and Jew hatred, Hitler and Nazism alleged to be extremists of the Black Israelite Hebrew movement. Diker propounded the view that the spike may be attributable to leftist extremists in the US Congress, such as Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and NGOs, fostering Israelophobia – hatred of the Jewish nation of Israel and Jew hatred, under the guise of violating the civil rights of the Palestinians. Diker suggests that may be at the crux of the rise of anti-Semitism in both the US and Europe. Diker delineates three strands of anti-Semitism. First strand is Islamic and Arab Jew hatred in Europe that manifests itself in Quds Day march festooned with Hezbollah flags. Second is the extreme right wing in both the US and EU. In this category are the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre that killed 11 Jews at shabbat services in October 2018 and the attack at the Poway Chabad Center in 2019 that killed a congregant injuring the rabbi. They were perpetrated by white supremacists. Third, is exemplified by rise of Jeremy Corbyn, the anti-Semitic Labor Party leader in the UK cloaking Jew hatred in the form of political criticism of Israel delegitimizing it as an illegal racist endeavor. These fit the definitions of anti-Semitism of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and those of the US Department of State in 2010. The IHRA definition of anti-Semitism were adopted by the recent Executive Order signed by President Trump on December 15, 2019 applying Title 6 of the 1964 Civil Rights Law to Jewish Americans asserting Israel’s ethnic religious heritage as the basis for the Jewish nation of Israel: i.e., the triad of the people of Israel, Torah of Israel and Land of Israel. The Trump executive order provides some important remedies. J Street opposes the Trump executive order because it has a chilling effect on criticism of Israel meaning delegitimizing and demonizing the Jewish nation. Gordon noted that the first compliant filed under the order was by an alumni group at Columbia University, his alma mater. Diker opined that Jewish alumni are important sources of endowment at several elite universities. He suggested that this was one way of combating anti-Semitism suggested by News York Times columnist Bari Weiss, author of a book on the subject, How to Fight Antisemitism. Diker asserted that the recent violent attacks by African Americans in Monsey and Jersey City were a cross category of anti-Semitism which meant that the motivation was no longer the exclusive possession of the extremist right wing. The view of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo that the attacks in both New Jersey were “domestic terrorism’ belied the definition that such acts are meant to harm civilians in the name of a political agenda. Diker suggested this downplays the motivation in these attacks of pure Jew hatred. Virulent Israelophobia in the EU is reflected in Quds Day celebration in support of Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Diker noted that the EU refuses to outlaw Hezbollah, that the UK, Holland, the US and Australia has done. On US college campuses annual anti-Israel Apartheid Awareness Weeks and activities of Students for Justice are conducted under the rubric of protected speech. Diker noted that the rise of SJP begin in 2010-2011 as an outgrowth of Hamas supporting ‘charities’ as Kind Hearts and the Holy Land Foundation, the latter the subject of a 2008 Federal Trial in Dallas, Texas that listed Hamas front groups in the US as unindicted co-conspirators. SJP was an outgrowth American Muslims for Palestine founded by UC Berkeley law professor Hatem Bazian, an extreme Islamist. The discussion turned to the stark contrast between Israelphobia and Jew hatred in the US and EU and the absence of it in Arab Jewish relations in Israel and even in disputed territories of Judea and Samaria. He noted the observations of a co-author of the forthcoming JCPA book, Israelphobia by journalist Abu Khaled Toameh the absence of extremist rhetoric by Arabs in Israel and the West Bank. He suggests that 1.6 million Israel Arabs don’t want BDS, instead opting for unprecedented demand for economic integration. Diker noted the active recruitment by Brigadier General Jamal Hakrush of Israel Arab men and women for the Israel Police force to counteract clan and family murders in their communities. On the matter of the International Criminal Court launch of a prosecutorial investigation into alleged war crimes by the IDF in 2014 Operation Protective Edge in 2014, Diker noted that PM Netanyahu slammed the ICC as Anti-Semitic and A.G. Mandelblit suggested that the IIC has no jurisdiction as the PA is not a state. The prospect of another stalemate in the third election in March 2020 Diker suggests is daunting as Israel has not had a government and budget since March 2019 impacting severely on delivery of health care and welfare services. He suggest the Israel Parliament needs reforms of the political system to resolve the impasse.

This week Rabbi Yitzchak and William discuss whether or not we have a right to assert our rights, or whether our faith is based on responsibility and obligation. Judaism has much to teach on this subject, and there is even a connection in the weekly Torah portion of Vayigash. We learn how Yehuda (Judah), the brother of Yosef (Joseph) steps up and takes responsibility, which not only brings restoration to his family, but brings him a legacy of kings.

Light and darkness goes beyond a metaphor for good and evil. Inherent in creation, darkness serves a purpose. Understanding the purpose of darkness enables us to gain deeper meaning to the dark times in our lives. How can we enlighten the darkness in the world and in our lives? How can we adjust our perception to use darkness in a purposeful way so that it's elevated and I am elevated through it?

Rod Reuven Bryant and Jerry Gordon interview Ken Timmerman, veteran Iran watcher and New York Times best-selling author fresh back from Tbilisi, Georgia with a tale of Iran’s Islamic Regime brutality and deception. Timmerman reveals in this interview the latest attempt by Iran to cover up the Islamic Regime’s 9/11 Al Qaeda links. The Prime Minister of Georgia, Giorgi Gakharia admitted on national television that, when he was Interior Minister, he launched in February 2018 a sting operation, at the request of Iran, against Iran Intelligence defector Alireza Soleimanpak. Soleimanpak provided an ‘Earth shattering” affidavit in the US Federal Court 2011 9/11 on Al Qaeda Iran links. Soleimanpak revealed “direct contact between Iran and Al Qaeda; and act of state-sponsored terrorism”. Timmerman cited recent Iranian terror operations by Iran against defectors foiled in the Netherlands, Germany and Sweden. Soleimanpak left Germany in 2018 where he had lived since 2002, trying to free his brother imprisoned in the notorious Evin prison in Tehran. He was motivated to free his brother on a prison furlough following the imprisonment, torture and death after release of Soleimanpak’s sister in 2016. Soleimanpak was arrested in 2018 imprisoned and tortured by Georgian internal security personnel under trumped up charges that he was planning to murder two Iranians. The Iranian Ambassador in Georgia wrote a letter offering Soleimanpak with an offer of $5 million and a Georgian passport if the latter would recant his testimony in the 9/11 Links case. Soleimanipak refused. Soleimanpak’s brother was subsequently murdered by Iranian security personnel. Timmerman notes that Soleimanpak has been detained for 18 months, seven of which were in solitary confinement. Most recently, he has been on a hunger strike. Timmerman considers Moscow educated Georgian PM Gakharia, an Iran “stooge”. Timmerman was the lead investigator for plaintiffs in the 2011 New York Southern District Federal Court landmark “9/11-Iran links” case: Fiona Havlish et al., v. Sheik Usamah bin-Muhammad bin-Laden et al. The case was brought on behalf of Ms. Havlish’s husband who was lost on the 101st floor of a World Trade Center tower on September 11, 2001. Other 9/11 victims’ surviving families and loved ones were included as co-plaintiffs. The New York Southern District Federal Court judge in the 9/11-Links case handed down upwards of $10 billion in two awards made to the certified class of 9/11 claimants in 2012 and 2015. In May 2018, a default judgment was entered by the New York Federal Court Judge in the Havlish et. al. case under a 2016 Supreme Court ruling against Iran which was not contested. The total of court awards is more than $10 billion. Both the Kenneth Timmerman evidentiary affidavits filed in Havlish et.al. New York Federal court trial and the Bin Laden files released in November 2017 by then CIA Director Mike Pompeo, now Secretary of State, attest to the extensive links between Tehran and the perpetrators of 9/11. According to Timmerman Soleimanpak’s 9/11 Links affidavit showed that Iran gave direct material assistance to the 9/11 Saudi perpetrators. Iran provided the simulator for on training of the 9/11 perpetrators on Boeing 747, 757, 767 aircraft. Timmerman noted that the 9/11 Commission did not report about Iran Boeing aircraft simulator training for Al Qaeda perpetrators who received flight training on small aircraft in the US. Soleimanpak’s affidavit revealed a visit by Sa’ad bin Laden in January 2001. Al Qaeda Number 2 Ayman al- Zawahiri met with Ayatollah Khamenei in May 2001 in Tehran. Soleimanipak defected in July 2001. In his meeting with the CIA station chief and translator in Baku, Azerbaijan, Soleimani revealed there was going to be a major attack in the US using aircraft as bombs. Further that no Iranians were involved in the attack. The 9/11 perpetrators were all Sunni Jihadi; 15 from Saudi Arabia, the balance from Yemen and Egypt. Soleimanpak’s warning on July 26th to the CIA team in Baku was the attack would occur on 20th of Shahan Shahi, which was misread by the CIA translator as the 10th of September, when in fact it was 9/11. His warning wasn’t heeded. 3,000 lives were lost in the Al Qaeda jihadi attacks on the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan, the Pentagon and southwestern Pennsylvania. Timmerman argues that Soleimanpak “was framed – not given a fair trial with no evidence presented”. He noted that the Republic of Georgia has both the strategic interest of the US and the West. It has applied for entry to the EU and NATO. Notwithstanding, as evidenced by the Soleimanpak case, the country needs to reform under the rubric of the rule of law. Timmerman has reached out to both the US State Department and the US House “Georgia Caucus” co-chaired by Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Gerry Connolly (D-VA). Timmerman noted, Germany provided dual use equipment to both Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and Iran. One contemporary example is Siemens supplying equipment to the Mlard Tower in Tehran capable of intercepting wireless email and text messages by protesting Iranian dissidents. Timmerman noted that the late Soviet tyrant, Joseph Stalin was a Georgian. Despite that Georgia has a museum on Stalin’s atrocities. Timmerman drew attention to the history Russia’s Putin seizing both Abkhazia and South Ossetia amounting to 20 percent of Georgia during the 2008 war.

Tamar talks about a famous article written by Rabbi Meir Kahane z"l in 1972 entitled, 'Down with Chanukah'. 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!
Also, what is the leader of Turkey doing now, that will affect prices for oil and other goods? How will it affect us?

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon bring back Dr. Stephen Bryen. Dr. Bryen is a former Reagan era Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for technology security, a noted Military Technologist and Asia Times Columnist. We discuss breaking news of Turkey’s Erdogan ‘saber rattling’ using Turkish Navy vessels to disrupt Cypriot offshore drilling in its Exclusive Economic Zone and chasing off an Israeli research vessel supporting the Cypriot effort. Dr. Bryen considers Erdogan’s use of military force as a “reckless, and provocative”. In reaction, Cyprus has appealed to NATO for naval support opposing Erdogan’s arbitrary claim over offshore gas development rights in the Eastern Mediterranean threatening Greece, Cyprus, Israel, and Egypt. The EU, Italy, France are not buying Erdogan’s bullying tactics to muscle into the offshore energy potential of the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine Basin. The EU is backing the Triple Alliance of Israel, Cyprus and Greece by underwriting the $20 billion East Med submarine gas pipeline that avoids passing through Turkey. It would provide the EU with an alternative source of natural gas to Russia’s Nordstream pipeline in the Baltic Sea feeding Germany and the Russian-backed Turkish Stream pipeline. Even Erdogan’s claim to Libya’s offshore energy resources may be for naught as the UN – backed Islamic government may be in imminent collapse given advances by the forces of Field Marshall Haftar’s Libyan National Army backed by Russia. Then there are Erdogan’s threats to eject NATO from Incirlik with 60 over aging nuclear weapons. Dr. Bryen contends those weapons serve no useful purpose, as there are no aircraft that can use them. The real danger is the plutonium in the nuclear cores that Erdogan could use to develop his own nuclear weapons. The White House and the Pentagon are stymied on how to retain Turkey in NATO, given Turkey’s purchase of Russian S-400 air defense systems and imminent industrial deal with Russia to co-produce either SU-35’s or SU 57’s. The US Congress in anger about Turkey’s dalliance with Russia, incursion in northeastern Syria, land grab in Iraq and support for Palestinian terror group Hamas in Gaza has passed a resolution condemning Turkey’s role in the Armenian Genocide during and after WWI, what Dr. Bryen called “an historic fact”. With impeachment of President Trump looming, the Administration’s attempt to keep Turkey in NATO, according to Dr. Bryen is not going well. On the matter of whether the US and Israel are confronting Iran internally and in riot plagued Lebanon and Iraq, as well as Syria, Dr. Bryen said the US is not doing enough. He noted the recent insertion of armored vehicles in Iraq endeavoring to suppress violent protests against the Iraqi government and Iranian Sh’ia proxies. Iran’s objectives Bryen contends are “to control Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and make war on Israel”. The only bright exception was US Secretary of State Pompeo announcement giving encrypted communications support for domestic opposition in Iran. Despite the political stalemate in Israel, the IDF carried out raids in Syria effectively taking out the IRGC headquarters there. On President Trump’s announcement of withdrawing 4,000 troops from Afghanistan Bryen suggests it amounts to declaring victory in the 19-year war with the possibility of collapse of the government there and likely return of the Islamist Taliban. We addressed the implications of the disturbing attack by a Saudi flight trainee at the renowned US Naval Air Station in Pensacola. The attack by the Saudi perpetrator at a training facility on the base killed three US Navy personnel- a recent US Naval Academy graduate and two airman trainees - in a wild shoot out with Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies resulting in seven wounded. Bryen said that it could have been worse, if the Saudi flight trainee perpetrator had waited until he got his wings and flew an aircraft into a facility. That was reminiscent of the failure of US consuls in Saudi Arabia to deny visas for flight training for 15 Saudi Al Qaeda jihadi in preparation for 9/11. The 15 Saudi 9/11 jihadists came from well to do Saudi families. The Pensacola attack evidenced a real problem in Saudi Arabia with a social revolution by aggrieved wealthy families disturbed at reformist actions of the Kingdom’s Monarchy. The Saudi perpetrator, as Bryant and Gordon noted, obtained his handgun under a Florida State Law allowing foreigners purchases guns to be used for hunting. Bryen asked who informed the perpetrator of the exception in Florida gun laws. He noted the perpetrator had traveled to New York to visit the 9/11 Museum and his social media revealed veneration of Osama bin Laden. The perpetrator and several other Saudi flight trainees were reported to have watched mass shooting videos. The Pensacola NAS is in virtual shutdown mode with tightened security measures including closing down temporarily the famed US Navy Aviation Museum. Gordon deemed what happened on December 6, 2019 as Pensacola’s 9/11, for which healing is still going on in both the military and civilian communities. Bryen contends what occurred in Pensacola was not a one-off operation. His view was confirmed by the arrest of another Saudi student in New Mexico contemplating a similar attack.

Antisemitism is alive, spreading, and growing all over the world! Don't be mislead by thinking that Britain's recent elections has beaten antisemitism, and don't think that Trump's signing of some document will eliminate antisemitism in the States. We find out the REAL reason for antisemitism, and we can read about it in the Bible. Hear this fascinating show that gives us an inside peak at the political reality in the West, and also examines the lessons of the Bible.

The British: General election fortunately ended with a massive defeat of the anti-Semite Jeremy Corbin's far left socialist Labour Party.

And: How America's overt rise in anti-Semitism moved the White House into action.

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon interview Dexter Van Zile, Christian Media Analyst of Boston-based Committee for Accuracy for Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA). Van Zile gave the latest update on extremist Christian and sinister academic groups fostering anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism - “the likes of which we haven’t seen since Father Coughlin of the 1930’s and Henry Ford.” Top of the list is TruNews, a Vero Beach, Florida church with an antisemitic news podcast and YouTube Channel. Van Zile found TruNews principals Rick Wiles, Ed Zsall and Doc Burkhart at a Christ at the Checkpoint Conference {CATC) in Bethlehem in May 2018, a pro-Palestinian Christian “peace” group that endeavors to dissuade Evangelicals from supporting Israel. He found them splicing their anti-Semitic hate into video productions of the CATC. During TruNews reports, Rick Wiles declared that Israeli Jewish rabbis are “just like Judas … looking for a political savior who will rule a political kingdom on earth, a super race that will dominate the planet. That’s really what Zionism is all about.” He also said that “Kabbalah is voodoo that Jews do” and that “If Jesus himself walked the streets of Jerusalem again, they would crucify him again. They would crucify him. They would release Barabbas and they would crucify him. Nothing has changed.” TruNews called the Impeachment Inquiry against President Trump, a “Jew Coup” intent on putting a Jewish cabal in power. It accused Trump of being a secret convert to Judaism and declared that the anti-Christ will appear as a Jewish homosexual. Despite all this, TruNews’ Ed Zsall showed up at White Press conference asking Trump a question about the “Deal of the Century” peace plan. Moreover, he showed up at an economic forum in Japan again asking President Trump questions. TruNews is not a member of the White House Press Corps, but they were given the run of the place at the Christ at the Checkpoint Conference organized by Bethlehem Bible College. Prior to that, they attended an International Security Conference in Moscow and a NATO conference in London. Van Zile noted that the Bethlehem Bible College that sponsors the Christ at the Checkpoint Conference at their Oklahoma Conference in 2018 may have crossed over to the dark side by engaging in Anti-Israel invective touting as a Jewish cabal in a picture of President Trump’s advisers. As Van Zile said, this amounts to saying that it is “now cool to be anti-Israel’ i.e., Anti-Semitic. The Bethlehem Bible College, which has a US NGO that raises funds here, didn’t respond to Van Zile’s concerns. In effect it is promoting anti-Israel doctrine in the US. Christians, as he points out, have little standing in the Muslim-majority Palestinian society. The Palestinian Authority rewards the College for its hostility towards Jews and its connections to US Church sponsors. Van Zile discussed his own involvement lodging a complaint with the Chancellor of the University of Massachusetts over anti-Israel counter-factual documentaries produced by head of the Communications Department, Professor Sut Jhally. Jhally declared at a Beirut conference that college classrooms provide a captive audience to spread anti-Israel doctrine. As Van Zale pointed out Jhally rigs his examinations in such a way as to produce grades for affirming Jhally’s anti-Israel doctrine. Van Zile, who has a daughter in college, asserts that Jhally uses his position to deprive students at UMASS of a liberal education. This is an outrage, Van Zile asserts, particularly since the annual cost for in-state students to attend UMASS is $30,000 and that taxpayers in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts spend $361 million a year to support such an institution. Van Zile filed a compliant against Jhally for academic misconduct but the administration at UMass didn’t want to touch the issue, he said. Van Zile contacted the Administration, writing the Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy about the problems at the school. Van Zile fears that the school’s Resistance Studies Initiative promotes leftist agitation and not legitimate liberal arts education. He suggested that Chancellor Subbaswamy was worried about the reactions of the Jewish community in Massachusetts and moreover rank and file taxpayers. Van Zile asks why parents are expected to pay for anti-American, anti-Israel and anti-Western doctrine being poured into the minds of their children. Currently, he suggests all too many US college campuses are “anti-Israel fun Houses” and “not safe places to send Jewish students”. As examples of pro-Israel activist groups on college campuses in the US, he cited the Academic Engagement Network chaired by Professor Miriam Elman that works with members of university faculties to address anti-Israel BDS activities on campuses. Another group that Van Zile considers worthy is Professor Tammy Benjamin’s AMCHA Initiative that documents the relationship between faculty supported BDS campaigns and hostility toward Jews on college campuses. Van Zile discussed the history and scope of both CAMERA and its college campus activist programs and CAMERA’s Christian Partnership. CAMERA was founded in 1980 to counter anti-Israel propaganda in the media. CAMERA is a member of the Council of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CPMAJO). CAMERA has offices throughout the US and Jerusalem and monitors media in the UK and in the Spanish-speaking world. More information can be found at CAMERA.org and CAMERApartnership.org

Behavioral finance, or the psychology of investing, explains how and why people make money decisions.

John R. Nofsinger, professor of finance at the University of Alaska and author of The Psychology of Investing, describes the biases that can cause investment failure and gives tips on how to avoid making investment mistakes. Why does emotion play a role in financial decision making, and why is it so important to keep track of the bigger picture?

While behavioral finance dictates how individuals make investment decisions, can it also explain market volatility? When examining the history of the markets, it’s interesting to look at the effects of major historical events, such as the world wars, on stock performance. Did investors gain or lose?

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon in Israel News Talk Radio – Beyond the Matrix interviews in November focused on the threat of the Islamic Republic to Israel and other US allies in the Middle East. Violent domestic protests erupted in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon over Iran and proxies’ hegemonic goals, government corruption and populations’ quest for freedom. Dan Diker of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs cited Iranian protester cries in Farsi of “No Lebanon, No Palestine, No foreign wars.” Diker noted the prediction of the late Uri Lubrani, the last Israeli Ambassador to Iran, “that popular discontent would lead to regime change rather than an external attack.” He noted that the Iranian people are fundamentally democratic and opposed to living under an Islamic terrorist supporting regime. Diker cited a US former official suggesting that it might cost less than $100 million to foster regime change in Iran; a lot less expensive than a full-throated kinetic war. That was reinforced in our interview with Ken Timmerman, who knew Lubrani personally and had worked with him on a plan for Iran regime change. Timmerman, a veteran Iran Democracy advocate, had proposed a comprehensive program estimated at $300 million. Timmerman drew attention to the action of US Secretary of State Pompeo during the peak of the latest Iranian protests, triggered by a spike in gasoline prices and rationing, enabling the rebroadcast of more than 20,000 email, text messages and videos by encrypted messaging services like Telegraph. A Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report cited Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli who said, “that as many as 200,000 people participated in the protests in more than 100 cities across Iran, which damaged 50 police stations, 70 gas stations and more than 700 banks across the country”. Estimates of the dead, currently at 200 and rising are vastly understated. The WSJ report focused on the Islamic Regime forcing families to pay $8,000 for retrieval of dead protesters disguising them as deceased Security personnel. The Islamic regime reported “arresting 7,000, 200 suspected ‘ringleaders’ and 8 alleged CIA agents.” Iran appeared to be reeling under the effects of the Trump economic sanctions, as its hard currency reserves were rapidly shrinking and income from oil smuggling was dwindling. In Iraq, hundreds of protesters have been killed, Iranian consulates have been burned forcing the Prime Minister’s resignation. The nefarious head of Iran’s Qud’s Force, General Qassem Soleimani has once again appeared in Baghdad endeavoring to suppress this uprising against the Iraqi central government and Iranian-controlled militias. A secret Iran Intelligence file revealed the depths of infiltration into Iraqi government. The threat of tribal warfare in Iraq against Iran-controlled militias may be in the offing. There was a phone call between President Trump and embattled Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, the latter unable to form a ruling coalition government while facing a trial on bribery and corruption indictments. The call was about dealing with the Iran threats. Netanyahu will be leaving shortly to confer about these Iran threats with Secretary of State Pompeo in Portugal. Acting Israeli Defense Minister Naftali Bennett said that Israel was in a battle with Iran that necessitated unleashing more attacks in neighboring Syria, attacking launching sites for precision cruise missiles and drones in Yemen, Lebanon and Gaza. An Iranian IRGC general boasted of having missiles that targeted 21 US bases in the region. That is why we are reposting our recent interview with Dr. Stephen Bryen. He spoke at length about the rising technical prowess of Iranian precision cruise missiles, demonstrated in the September 14, 2019 attacks against Saudi Arabian oil processing and storage facilities. US- provided Patriot air defense systems failed to detect this attack. Bryen cited Israeli anti -missile defense expert, Uzi Landau’s assessment, that Iranian precision cruise missiles constituted a threat to Israel and the US in the region. Israel’s David Sling Stunner interceptors may provide a significant standoff edge against Iranian precision cruise missiles. Bryen warned that Iran’s continuing breach of the 2015 nuclear agreement, ramping up uranium enrichment and stockpiling heavy water may result in creation of enough fissile materials for nuclear weapons within a year. See the article version of the Bryen Israel News Talk Radio – Beyond the Matrix interview in the December 2019 edition of The New English Review, entitled, “Failing to Confront Iran”.

This week Rabbi Yitzchak and William discuss Yaakov's (Jacob's) dream of the ladder from earth to heaven and the commentaries that speak about this amazing dream. You will be very surprised to learn that the Talmud and other commentaries bring up the concept of the contraction of the earth, or a supernatural occurrence that allows the distance of travel to be shortened. Something very similar to the scientific concept of time folding in on itself.

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?

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon interviewed veteran Iran-watcher, best-selling author and investigative journalist Ken Timmerman to address the recent violent protests in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon directed at the Islamic Republic of Iran. Then there are the problematic relationships between President Trump and Turkey’s Islamist President Erdogan and Russia’s Putin Along the way we learn of Timmerman personal association with the last Israeli Ambassador to Iran, the late Uri Lubrani and Lebanon’s Christian President Michel Aoum, the latter who sold out to Hezbollah and Iran.

Timmerman had worked with Lubrani and Israeli Intelligence to develop a plan to foster an internal insurrection in Iran to oust the country’s Shi’ite Supremacist mullahcracy. The problem was organization inside Iran and communications. Dan Diker who we recently interviewed referenced a former US official who estimated it might cost upwards of $150 million to do that. Timmerman and Lubrani had proposed a program of $300 million to achieve that objective.
The two and a half weeks of violent protests and suppression by the IRGC and paramilitaries may have killed 400, injured 4,000 and detained hundreds, while shutting down the internet for over 113 hours.

Timmerman noted Secretary of State Pompeo’s recent news conference in which US information services rebroadcast over 20,00 notes, email, tweets and videos – the first time the US government has done that. Timmerman believes that fostering and organizing internal revolt among Iranian opposition is a vastly cheaper alternative to a ‘full throated kinetic war”. Timmerman notes that President Trump has no desire to enmesh the US in another Middle East War. It is clear he believes that the Iranian people are fed up billions diverted for foreign adventures and corruption, while the economy is being crushed by the Trump “maximum Pressure campaign of sanctions”. The flash point for the recent wave of protests across Iran was a 50% increase in gas prices and rationing.

President Trump’s pullout of US Troops from northeastern Syria abandoning Kurdish allies of the Syrian Democratic Force triggered the October 9th incursion by Erdogan’s Turkish military and Jihadis, Syrian National Army composed of Al Nusrah and former ISIS fighters. Timmerman cited the evidence of war crimes committed against Kurds, Christians and other minorities. The Turkish and Jihadist proxies have forced out over 200,00 from their homes, killing and raping women imposing sharia law. He connected this to the recent US House sanctions against Erdogan’s incursion creating a 120-kilometer-long by 30-kilometer-deep Orwellian “safe zone” with 1915 Armenian Genocide Resolution Congressional Resolution. Timmerman believes this stems from a deeply anti-Christian historical ethnic cleansing by Turkish regimes in the 19th to 21st Centuries against Armenians, Syriac Orthodox, Assyrians and now Kurds and Yazidis. He contends that Erdogan is a force for evil.

Timmerman is perplexed as to why President Trump has a blind spot for both Erdogan and Russian President Putin. He noted that Trump’s sending a US armored force into eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor province to protect oil wells from a resurgent ISIS and the Assad Regime backed by Russia was transactional to provide funds to support Kurdish – led SDF operations against encroachment by Iran. He noted that Erdogan and his family benefitted financially from brokering sales of oil from these same wells previously controlled by ISIS. Timmerman, while suggesting that Putin is not a friend of the US may be useful in its role in the Middle East policing these conflict areas.

Timmerman referred to the recent release of 700 documents by Iran’s MIOS intelligence that demonstrated the overarching control of Iraq by Iran, now in turmoil of violent protests over Iranian influence, corruption, high unemployment.
In Lebanon’s case, he recalled during his years there during the Reagan era that Lebanon’s Army was divided into sectarian units of Christians, Sunni and Shia. Now it is clear that with Christian President Michael Aoun allied with both Hezbollah and Iran, the US should not continue military assistance for Lebanon Forces dominated by Hezbollah.

When asked about the recent Pompeo ruling on Israel Jewish Settlement in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria, Timmerman said that after all it is the Land of Israel, that US evangelical Christians revere through the Old Testament. The threat of violence erupting because of the Pompeo legal ruling is not evident in the regional reaction of Trump’s US Embassy in 2017, endorsement of Golan sovereignty. The PA- PLO he considers a corrupt “mafia clan”. That application of Israeli law will benefit and lead to peace through prosperity and eventual sovereignty for Palestinians.

On the domestic matter of the current House Impeachment Inquiry and possible Senate Trial, he contends that polls show waning interest among US voters in the upcoming 2020 national elections. Instead, domestic issues like health care, a US Canada Mexico and China trade agreement are of primary interest.

Watch for a new Timmerman novel of how Trump lost the 2020 because of a team of a Democratic operative and hackers who meddle in the election in key states.

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon interview Dan Diker, Director of the Program to Counter Political Warfare at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. The occasion was the stunning policy ruling by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Israeli settlements in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria, aka the West Bank, were legal. The Secretary’s ruling was based on studies by international legal experts and scholars sponsored by the US State Department. This policy ruling occurred on the cusp of the EU issuing an anti-Semitic BDS labelling requirement on Israeli products produced in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria. Overall the reaction was positive in the Israeli body polity, according to Dan Diker. It represented a positive assault against the delegitimization and general misunderstanding about the Israeli settlement presence in the disputed territories. The US history on the issue had varied starting in 1967 that recognized Israel’s right to defensible borders Under UN Res. 242. However, over the past nearly 53 years there had been instances under Presidents Carter and Obama that took exception to Israel’s legal rights suggesting that building settlements was problematic. The most glaring example being the Obama Administration abstention on UN Security Council Resolution 2234 in December 2016 directed at curtailing construction of new settlements. Diker thinks that Pompeo’s decision parallels Israeli law, especially the Edmund Levy opinion that re-established the legitimacy of settlements in the disputed territories for nearly 500,000 Israelis. Diker thinks Pompeo’s ruling paves the way to apply Israeli law for Israeli settlements in Area C covering 95 Percent of the 500,000 population that resides close by the 1967 green line. Pompeo’s ruling raised adverse comments among leading US Democratic Presidential hopefuls. He noted former Vice President Biden’s warning that confirming the legality of Israeli settlements in the illegal West Bank occupied for 19 years by Jordan might give rise to “instability in the region”. Diker contended that neither the move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem and Trump’s support for Israeli sovereignty over the Golan hadn’t caused violence against the Jewish nation of Israel. Instead he pointed out the increasing security, commercial and diplomatic relations with Sunni Kingdoms and Emirates. Diker was asked to contrast anti-normalization versus normalization as an expert on the issues. He noted that anti-normalization has been fostered by the International BDS Campaign of the PLO/PA and NGOs. The purpose was to isolate Israel as equivalent to the former Apartheid South Africa regime. Israel sovereignty has been confirmed in the 20th Century through the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the 1920 San Remo, 1922 US Congressional resolutions and the UN Charter adoption of the League of Nations international resolutions. The practical side of normalization is reflected in a major initiative announced by Israel PM Netanyahu this past week: the creation of new industrial zones in Area C employing more than 250,000 new jobs for Arabs with earnings 3 times that under the PA in Areas A, and B under the Oslo Accords. This normalization initiative Diker suggest, will lay the groundwork for ultimate Palestinian sovereignty. When the discussion turned to the impact of the Pompeo ruling on the current impasse in the Israeli electoral process. Diker thinks that both Gantz and Netanyahu share the same view that the 4th Geneva Convention of 1949 does not apply to Israeli settlements. There was no coercion involved, as the Jews moved into the disputed territories voluntarily. That maintenance of national security over the Jordan Valley approaches is paramount to ensure Israel’s unilateral actions. Both share mounting concerns over the Iranian national security threat on all of Israel’s border. Diker noted that the recent rocket campaign by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza was ordered by the IRGC involving more than 450,00 rockets supplied by Iran, North Korean nd manufactured in Gazan workshops. Turning to the mounting anti-Iran violent protests in Iraq, Lebanon and massive internal protests, triggered by a 50% increase in gasoline process necessitating rationing, Diker had the following thoughts. These protests reflected profound economic frustrations directed at the Islamic Regime for billions squandered in external conflicts in Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. He cited protester cries in Farsi of “No Lebanon, No Palestine, no foreign wars.” Diker noted the prediction of the late Uri Lubrani, the last Israeli Ambassador to Iran, that popular discontent would lead to regime change rather than an external attack. That the Iranian people are fundamentally democratic and opposed to living under an Islamic terrorist supporting regime. Diker cited a US official suggesting that it might cost less than $100 million to foster regime change in Iran, a lot less expensive than a full-throated kinetic war. Trump’s abandoning the Iran nuclear pact and the maximum pressure campaign contributed to the current economic unrest. The problem is that Trump is an isolationist as witnessed by his abandonment of the Kurds and withdrawal of US forces from Syria. The conversation ended with Diker’s assessment of the temporary troika of Putin’s Russian re-insertion in Syria supporting Assad, Erdogan’s Muslim Brotherhood Sunni antipathy to Iran’s completion of a Shiite Crescent, while displacing Kurds in northwest and northeastern Syria.

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.

For over 20 years, Schmuel has been working with endangered youth on his farm in Nachliel, a village in the Samarian mountains of Israel. These Israeli Jewish boys had broken souls, who everyone (including their own families) had given up on, when Schmuel stepped into the picture. He’d ‘pick them up from the dirt, teach them how to believe in themselves, and train them how to run positive, spiritual yet also down-to-earth, healthy lives and ultimately families.

NOW the farm is under financial threat of closing-down!

But, YOU can keep it open!

Schmuel is trying to raise money, but we, his friends, would like to help more because time is urgent. We know money could be tight, trust us when we say even a little can help because time is running out.

Think about it – when you donate to a cause you become an active part of all it’s success and it’s like you’re also doing it yourself! Please click here: tinyurl.com/uohtujy and be a 'Super Jew' and make a difference now!

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon bring back Dr. Stephen Bryen to address Iran’s provocative nuclear and missile threats to Israel and the US. Dr. Bryen is a former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense during the Reagan Era, a noted military technologist and Asia Times columnist. This timely discussion occurred on news of Iran further breaching the 2015 Nuclear deal with ramp up of uranium enrichment threatening to produce enough fissile material for multiple nuclear weapons within a year. Moreover, given recent strikes by cruise missiles in Saudi Arabia led Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Kochavi to warn of credible Iranian threats to launch precision missile strikes against Israel from Yemen, Syria and possibly Gaza. Iranian proxy in Gaza, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), launched a barrage of over 170 rockets against targets in Southern and Central Israel. Israel retaliated with air strikes killing PIJ leaders in Gaza.

Bryen dismissed unconfirmed rumors by a Chinese news agency about Russia possibly obtaining a David Sling Stunner interceptor missile in Syria. The Stunner interceptor missile, jointly developed by Israel’s Rafael Advanced Systems and US partner Raytheon, is equipped with sophisticated digital radar, embedded software and electro optical systems enabling it to discriminate decoys from targets at a range of 190 miles. These Stunner interceptor capabilities makes it a valuable standoff air defense system for Israel against Iranian cruise missiles and drones. It is far superior to the US Patriot Missile air defense system that failed to intercept a swarm of ground hugging Iranian cruise missiles with advanced detachable warheads that made precision strikes on oil tanks in Saudi Arabia.

Bryen cited noted Israeli missile defense systems expert, Uzi Rubin, who noted that these Iranian precision cruise missiles with detachable warheads were equipped with optical homing systems with infrared capable of attacking fixed civilian or military targets. Israel must assure that it doesn’t lose deterrence against such threats. Given this sophisticated Iranian missile capability, Bryen said that Israel has three options: 1) shoot down incoming missiles; 2) attack launching sites; 3) conduct a general retaliation war against Iran and proxies in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Gaza. Bryen noted that Palestinian Islamic Jihad can acquire precision rockets and missiles from Iran via smuggling by sea with delivery by small boats and from the Sinai through tunnels into Gaza. Hezbollah receives such missiles via Iranian air deliveries to Damascus airport, despite frequent Israeli air and missile attacks.

Of mounting concern is Iran’s continual breaching of the 2015 nuclear agreement with news that the Tehran regime is loading gases into centrifuges at the underground Fordow facility near Qom, Iran. Bryen suggests that Iran will have enough fissile material within a year to produce multiple nuclear weapons. This presents a significant challenge to both Israel and the US, especially as neither is interested in a war with Iran. Instead, the Trump Administration is engaging in a campaign of “maximum pressure “including ratcheting up sanctions against key IRGC officials and controlled institutions. Despite this Iran pursued its nuclear program and regional support for proxies, estimated at $16 billion annually.

Bryen said that the US is not supporting regime change in Iran despite a large opposition in the country. He noted that former US national security adviser John Bolton left because he was at loggerheads with Trump as Bolton’s advice on these issues was not valued. However, the rise of violent protests in both Lebanon and Iraq against Iran Bryen thought was “good news”. These protests were pushback against Iran’s regional hegemony intentions in both countries. However, Bryen noted Hezbollah still has sway in Lebanon questioning continuing US support for Lebanon’s military that amounts to training, “the bad guys”.

Northeastern Syria in the wake of President Trump’s withdrawal abandoning the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Force, Bryen suggested, amounted to giving Turkey and jihadist proxies control of 20 percent of Syria, a “blunder”. He suggested Trump sending a US armored force to protect oil facilities in eastern Syria was a ploy to trade with Russia and Assad who needed revenues to pay for the War in Syria. Instead, Bryen believes what the US should pursue seizing IRGC general officers in Syria to exchange for release of captive Americans in Iran. One such hostage is former FBI agent Robert Levinson, who went missing in March 2007 on what some alleged was an unauthorized CIA mission meeting an American Shiite convert and assassin on Kish Island in the Persian Gulf. Iran recently acknowledged that Levinson had gone “missing”.

Bryen praised the recent announcement of joint Israeli – US collaboration on artificial intelligence military applications for autonomous robotic vehicles, weapons and target discrimination.

In response to the targeted killing of arch-terrorist Baha Abu Al-Atta, Arab militants besieged the Jewish state with over 500 missiles in less than 72 hours. School closings, industrial paralysis, traumatized children hovering in bomb shelters and relentless wails of air raid sirens have defined the past week in the Jewish State.

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon bring back Dr. Stephen Bryen to address Iran’s provocative nuclear and missile threats to Israel and the US. Dr. Bryen is a former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense during the Reagan Era, a noted military technologist and Asia Times columnist. This timely discussion occurred on news of Iran further breaching the 2015 Nuclear deal with ramp up of uranium enrichment threatening to produce enough fissile material for multiple nuclear weapons within a year. Moreover, given recent strikes by cruise missiles in Saudi Arabia led Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Kochavi to warn of credible Iranian threats to launch precision missile strikes against Israel from Yemen, Syria and possibly Gaza. Iranian proxy in Gaza, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), launched a barrage of over 170 rockets against targets in Southern and Central Israel. Israel retaliated with air strikes killing PIJ leaders in Gaza.

Bryen dismissed unconfirmed rumors by a Chinese news agency about Russia possibly obtaining a David Sling Stunner interceptor missile in Syria.

Rav Yitzchak and William discuss the crazy math used by the Three Stooges and Abbot and Costello, and how certain groups try to use this type of logic to reinterpret the Hebrew scriptures to say something it does not. In this show you will learn from Torah sources and Kabbalah how the math adds up, and how Avraham (Abraham) experienced the Creator and interacted with his messengers (angels).

In today's programme you will hear how little has changed in world politics as far as it concerns Israel; how the United Nations are contaminated with institutionalised anti-Israel policies and how UNRWA has succeeded to fool the international community to part with billions of dollars to support their corrupt and fake schemes.

There is also news of a UN position that is not generally known, although its incumbent uses his position in the realm of human rights, to work against Israel.

This week, a conference on Anti-Semitism was held at the residence of Israel's President Ruven Rivlin, at which several envoys of European and US governments and also the EU were exchanging views how to best tackle that scourge - and I have a detailed report about that.

I am also commenting on President Trump's Deal of the Century.
