Dive into this hard-hitting episode where we unravel the tangled web of media bias in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. From the deliberate rebranding of “Palestine” in the 1960s to today’s viral TikTok clips and AI-generated propaganda, we expose how language, images, and geopolitics shape public perception.

With Joseph Goebbels’ quote, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will believe it,” Igal exposes how media, influencers, and yesterday’s global demos push this claim—yet no major body like the ICJ or UN Security Council confirm...
The West loves to frame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through its favorite theories: Marxism, Critical Race Theory, oppressor vs. oppressed. But that lens completely misses the reality of the Middle East.
In this episode of Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes, Igal breaks down why Western frameworks don’t fit the Arab-Israeli conflict — and why peace efforts keep failing.
Key insights you’ll learn:

Flotilla of Fools — Greta Thunberg, Hamas, and the Gaza Propaganda Circus
On Sep 25, 2025, Greta Thunberg joined a so-called “humanitarian flotilla” to Gaza — but was it really about aid, or was it a Hamas-backed PR stunt? In this episode of Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes, Igal exposes the truth behind the flotilla’s organizers, their ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and why the cargo was never the point.

On September 21, the UK, Canada, and Australia coordinated a bombshell move: formal recognition of a Palestinian state.
But here’s the problem — no conditions. No demand to dismantle Hamas. No call to release hostages. No push for Palestinian elections.
In this episode, Igal exposes why this isn’t a step toward peace — it’s a reward for terror.
In under 5 minutes:
• Why Hamas sees this as a victory lap
• How history — from O...
From Marx to Hamas — the alliance is no longer theoretical.
It’s in the streets, on campus, and in the global narrative war against Israel… and the free world.
In this final episode of the From Marx to Hamas series, Igal unpacks how Marxist guilt, Islamist hatred, and Soviet propaganda merged into a powerful ideological weapon — one that turns terror into “resistance” and pogroms into “liberation.”

From Marx to Hamas — How Ideas Became Weapons
Episode 1: Marxism, Relativism, and Critical Race Theory
How did the West go from debating truth… to chanting for terror?
In this first episode of our new series From Marx to Hamas, we trace how dangerous ideas—Marxism, cultural relativism, and Critical Race Theory—reshaped the moral compass of the modern Left.
In less than five minutes, Igal breaks down:
• How Marx’s class war b...
Did the KGB invent the Palestinian identity?
Was Soviet intelligence behind the global rise in antisemitism?
In this explosive episode, Igal exposes how the USSR used disinformation to wage ideological warfare against Israel and the Jewish people. From funding Yasser Arafat and branding Zionism as racism, to planting antisemitic lies in the Arab world, the Soviets didn’t just support Jew hatred—they engineered it.
Based on rea...
“It wasn’t the people of Gaza… it was just Hamas.”
You’ve heard that line since October 7th. But what if it’s not true?
In this episode, we expose how some so-called “regular civilians” — Gazans who worked in Israeli communities — helped Hamas plan the massacre.
They mapped homes. Flagged security weaknesses. Passed intel over months.
This wasn’t just terrorism. It was betrayal from inside.

October 8 – The Day Anti-Israel Protests Preceded Israeli Response.
Today, let’s unpack what happened on October 8, 2023 — a day when the world lit up with anti-Israel protests, before Israel could even respond to Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
But who organized these protests—and who was pulling the strings behind the scenes?

Today we’re talking about something no one in polite society wants to say out loud — the link between the West’s “victim card” obsession and why radical Islam gets away with things that Christians, Jews, or Western governments would be crucified for.
Today, we’re talking about a woman so committed to “truth,” she’s managed to reinvent herself more times than a TikTok influencer — Francesca Albanese, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian territories. Or, as she’d like you to call her: a “human rights lawyer.” A “mother.” A “truth-teller.” A “martyr.” A “friend.” A “lawyer.”
Oh wait… not a lawyer?
If you thought France’s blanket asylum ruling for Gazans was reckless — buckle up.
Because President Emmanuel Macron just went a step further.
France has announced it will officially recognize the so-called State of Palestine, claiming it’s part of its “historic commitment to a just and lasting peace.”
But, this isn’t peace.
This is payoff.
And we now know the price tag — €10 billion, courtesy of Qatar.
This is a first of two-part episodes about France, Gaza, and Israel.
About two weeks ago France has made a decision that doesn’t just raise eyebrows — it raises alarm bells. In a move with massive geopolitical consequences, France’s highest asylum court has declared that every resident of Gaza is now eligible for full refugee status in France. No need for UNRWA papers. No need to prove personal targeting. Just… say you’re from ...
