On this edition of Parallax Views, Israeli dissident commentator Ori Goldberg returns to discuss the current situation in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank amid the U.S. President’s push for a Gaza peace deal. A frequent guest since the October 7th attacks and the subsequent bombing campaign, Goldberg offers insight into how Trump and the Gulf monarchies are growing increasingly frustrated with Israel—even without much sympathy for Palestinians.
We explore the dynamics of Israeli protests against the Gaza war and Goldberg’s analysis of the psychology driving the Israeli body politic. He also examines the rise of the Qatari/Iranian psyop conspiracy theory—the claim that graphic images from Gaza are fabrications meant to stoke anti-Israel sentiment—a narrative now spreading beyond Israel and recently echoed by Van Jones on Bill Maher’s Real Time.
Goldberg further critiques the alliances between pro-Israel figures and anti-Islam activists like Tommy Robinson, describing an “Alex Jones-ification” of Israeli politics centered on the “Islamo-wokeism” conspiracy theory, which portrays Islamists and the left as conspiring to destroy the West with Israel as the last line of defense. Along the way, he offers sharp criticisms of not only Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli right, but also Israeli liberals. The subject of Israeli settlers in the West Bank is also discussed.
All that and much more on this edition of Parallax Views.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
