What are Israel's famed (or infamous) intelligence agencies' role in its history and survival? And in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Specifically the highly effective yet ethically questionable "targeted killings"? On a more recent note, wha
In the past few months, we have had a bunch of episodes on Israel. Each one has been special in its own right, and for the foreseeable future we will continue to have a few more episodes on these topics. This episode is a bit different. It’s
For this podcast, we are taking a break from Israel's coalition chaos, and instead focusing on two of the most important topics facing the world: the rise of China and the revolution in technology. What are China's interests in the long run? Ho
What are the deeper trends in Israel influencing the current coalition negotiations? Or practical steps that can be taken toward peace? Even the dramatic decline of the Israeli left?In this episode, Anshel Pfeffer and I discuss these topics,
What defines Israel nowadays? Despite political gridlock, what is going right? What does that political paralysis indicate more broadly about Israel's fundamental divides? Plus, how do you manage the constant push-and-pull of speed and accuracy
Whether you only read President Trump's tweets or listen exclusively to Democratic presidential candidates public statements, it is clear that China is not only a crucial national security challenge for the U.S., but it is quickly becoming a hu
Want to know where things get done in politics these days? Look at the states. In this new podcast with Maryland Delegate Vaughn Stewart (D-19), we start with the role of a state delegate in the functioning of government, and continue to how he
What is it like being thrust into the national spotlight at 17? What is the state of the gun control debate? How can progress be made on this issue? I ask all these highly relevant questions to Cameron Kasky, one of the founding members of Ma
70 plus years in, Israel remains in conflict with the majority of its Arab neighbors. Why? In the long term, can Arabs -- whether they be Palestinians, Saudis, or Emirates -- make a long-term peace with Israel that accepts Israel back into its
What exactly is going on in Israel these days? They just had an election, but are having another one just a few months later? What about the situation on the ground with the Palestinians, and Jared Kushner's peace plan? And what can be made ab
When one of the most prominent conservatives in media and Washington politics now describes himself as an "anti-authoritarian Democrat," something must have changed. It was Donald Trump. Once a member of the Conservative establishment, Kristol
Washington is more hectic than ever, with seemingly historic events happening weekly, if not daily. How does an Israeli look at all of this? Or the current state of the U.S. relationship amid rising challenges on both the Left and Right? Trump'

When you're 16 years old and have over 50,000 people reading your reporting and analysis of politics on a daily basis, how you do you decide what to publish? What is the response to a president saying the media is the "ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE"? How
It is a privilege for me to meet someone as interested in politics as I am; it's a rare find to meet another teen even more fascinated than me by politics, and who knows way more about government. So it was a real honor to have a conversation w
When you post on social media, what do you hope to happen? A lot of likes, some comments and shares, maybe for it to even go viral. That is something you and ISIS, Taylor Swift, and Russian trolls have in common; we each want to use social med
With the midterms a few weeks behind us, and results still coming in, what could be more interesting? Is the Blue Wave actually going to work out in the end, after the recounts in Florida and Georgia? In this episode of Everybody Assumes, Joh
