In recent weeks, we’ve seen a disturbing pattern emerge.

In Montreal, Helsinki, and Melbourne, Islamist crowds surrounded Christian cathedrals waving Palestinian flags, chanting “Allahu Akbar,” and flooding the public squares.


It wasn’t a protest — it was a show of force. A message.


In each case, the target wasn’t Israel.

It was the West itself.

Its symbols.

Its sacred spaces.

Its right to exist without bending to intimidation

In this episode, I’m contradicting the myth of welcoming Jewish refugees in the Mandatory Palestine.

In this powerful episode, Igal breaks down what the mainstream won’t:

• Hamas is still firing rockets.

• Greta’s Gaza “aid flotilla” was a PR stunt—not a humanitarian mission.

• Over 1,200 trucks of Israeli aid entered Gaza this week.
