155: Major (Ret.) Andrew Fox : "Iran could have FIVE nuclear warheads in THREE weeks". So what's stopping them?

July 16, 2024 15:42 - 35 minutes

Subscribe/follow Jonny Gould’s podcasts here The October 7th War in Gaza is the longest war in Israel’s history. But how to grasp the nettle that is Hezbollah?  What will “the day after” really look like in Gaza?: are the oil rich gulf states the answer to a more moderate Palestinian state?  How soft have the West been on Iran? Is dethroning the theocracy in Tehran the key to an Islamic reformation?  Is Britain’s foreign policy reset really pondering between Qatar and Saudi? And is it a H...

154: Ivor Perl: Auschwitz and Dachau survivor, "I paid a terrible price for being Jewish, but how can I break the chain?"

July 08, 2024 17:38 - 53 minutes

Find the rest of Jonny's podcasts right here. This is Ivor Perl, survivor of Auschwitz and Dachau. Born Yitzchak Perlmutter, in a family of 11 in Mako, Hungary in 1932, Ivor’s youth and education was stolen from him in 1944.  His orthodox childhood was stable enough, but there were always antisemites who slapped him on the way to school and the return home - but it got far worse during World War II because the Nazi regime began targeting Jews in Hungary. In 1944, when he was just 12, Ivor, al...

153: Manuel Valls, France's former Prime Minister describes the threat of extremist politics to the French Jewish community (en Français)

July 03, 2024 13:51 - 11 minutes

Our guest today is France’s former prime minister, Manuel Valls.  We met at the European Jewish Association delegation to Auschwitz. France has the biggest Jewish community in Europe and it's the only country outside the Middle East where Sephardim outnumber Ashkenazim. Undoubtedly, this is a legacy of the Holocaust and the subsequent migration of French-speaking Jews from North Africa after World War II. Notre invité aujourd’hui est l’ancien Premier ministre Français, Manuel Valls, rencontré...

152: Imshin returns: "Hezbollah isn't Hamas, it's much stronger. As a family, we're planning for war”.

Back by popular demand, Imshin returns to Jonny Gould’s Jewish State  Scroll back and listen to our first episode, an introduction to Imshin, real name, Jacqui Peleg. Imshin’s feed on X with the famous hashtag, #TheGazaYouDontSee is a phenomenon of the social media era. And what Jacqui achieves couldn’t have existed before Twitter, YouTube and TikTok. Because such a specific subject via these video news sources, couldn’t have been so constantly delivered in real time. It’s now so readily avai...

150: Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jonathan Conricus: #AllEyesOnRafah: How has the world been reduced to this?

June 01, 2024 19:54 - 28 minutes

“All eyes on Rafah”: The AI generated graphic shared by 50m people on Instagram, spread by slebs like Dua Lipa, Lewis Hamilton and Gigi and Bella Hadid. How has the world been reduced to this?” It’s a near total disconnect with the reality of the Gaza War. The Ayatollah is prolifically tweeting including antisemitic tropes about Jews running the media. But does Iran have Israel where it wants them, in a cycle of “forever war”? How must Israel change to get out of a perpetual state of war? Doe...

148: #TheGazaYouDontSee: @imshin reveals the REAL Gaza: how Gazans see themselves through their own videos

May 13, 2024 16:48 - 1 hour

The mainstream news channels are stuck in a tiresome stream of programmes which you know misrepresent Gaza and Israel.  That ignore key facts and amplify voices from just one side (with honourable exceptions, of course). The world’s media would have you believe Gazans are helpless, living in an overcrowded prison camp, unable to escape their predicament, sitting ducks to Israeli aggression.  It couldn't be further from the truth. Hamas leadership need the bleeding hearts of Europe aided by ma...

May 09, 2024 07:44 - 22 minutes

What’s it really like in Iran - for its citizens and the Jews who still live there?  Iran’s major cities, Tehran and Isfahan still have functioning synagogues, but the communities have declined sharply since the Islamist revolution which shapes the world today.  Let’s discuss today's Iran with someone who really knows it. This is an interview conducted in Israel just a matter of weeks before October 7th.  During the heady late summer days of weekly judicial reform rallies, this is Dr Meir Jav...

This is a rather special episode featuring a competition winner from North West London Jewish Day School who won the chance to make an episode of Jonny Gould's Jewish State.  Awareness of news and current affairs is certainly heightened by the pressure of social media - so imagine a young person growing up in this day and age.

April 14, 2024 20:29 - 36 minutes

The Islamic Republic of Iran emerges from behind the regional proxies it's used as pawns until now to take direct action against Israel. Over 300 suicide drones, ballistic and cruise missiles targeted Israel from multiple fronts from Iran, as well as Iraq, Syria and Yemen. 99% were intercepted, mostly outside of Israel's airspace by Israeli, British, American, French, Saudi and Jordanian forces.  So what tactical change by Iran does this signify? Have they ramped up a level towards their endg...

Loay Alshareef came on my TalkTV show to talk about the peace which remains between Arabs and Jews despite the October 7 massacre by Hamas terrorists in Israel.  And it’s good news.  The Abraham Accords which bound the UAE, together with Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan with Israel in September 2020, remains steadfast and though the pogrom exacted on Israel is a “setback”, the opportunities for peace are still there.  Loay has become a good friend since he invited me to Abu Dhabi in 2022 and it’s a...

Growing up in Saudi Arabia and brought up a religious Moslem, he was exposed to antisemitic schooling about Israel and the Jews. “Jews are the fierce enemies of the Arabs and you shouldn’t have them as friends. Christians too. But first, Jews.”  Loay was part of a generation of young Saudis who stood no chance. Isolated from the world, taught to hate. It still goes on - although less so.  But the poisoning of his young mind was c...
