"I Hate Christians": How Fare the Copts? with Raymond Ibrahim
After disappearing in April 2020, a Coptic Christian high school teacher of English, wife, and mother of three reappeared in a video, now dressed in all-black Islamic attire with her face nearly covered, announcing that she had willingly converted to Islam and rejecting any contact with her family. This incident symbolizes the plight of Copts, Egyptian Christians, which includes forced conversion, attacks on churches, and murder. What does the future hold for this embattled population?
With the US Administration meeting to decide the future of annexation, and Prime Minister Netanyahu putting down markers in case of another election, this is a crucial week in Israeli politics. What is being planned and what will it mean for the short and medium term?

"Grand Mufti al-Husseini's Influence Abiding Impact"
with Wolfgang G. Schwanitz
From the time he became the mufti of Jerusalem in 1921, Amin al-Husseini (1897-1974) became the most toxic enemy of Jews. He initiated Palestinian rejectionism, had an important role in Hitler’s Final Solution, gave sanctuary to Nazis and loosed them against a nascent Israel, and urged the Muslim Brotherhood to fight Zionists. Even after his death his influence on Palestinians is still felt. Will his sway ever end?
