The most powerful images in today’s pro-Palestinian campaigns aren’t new — they’re borrowed from Christianity. From the Madonna and Child to David and Goliath, centuries-old sacred symbols have been re-cast to portray Palestinians as modern saints and martyrs, reshaping Western sympathy through religious familiarity. In this gripping conversation, Professor Miri Rubin (Queen Mary University of London), one of Britain’s leading medieval historians, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti to expose how the emotional grammar of Christian art has been weaponised for political ends — and how its echoes are visible everywhere from social media to pop culture, from the left to the right, and on the front pages of global newspapers. What you’ll hear in this fascinating discussion: 🕍 How Jewish imagery shaped medieval Christianity — and its legacy in Western art 🕊️ Why Christian iconography still dominates moral storytelling today 📸 How propaganda reuses sacred imagery to provoke emotional reactions 🧠 The psychological power of the “mother and child” pose in photojournalism ⚔️ Why Palestinian PR borrows visual language from Christian Europe 💀 How medieval blood libels echo in today’s online antisemitism 🎭 What modern culture learned from the Church about emotional persuasion 📷 The blurred line between journalism, activism, and visual manipulation 🤖 How AI images will intensify the next wave of ideological propaganda 🎧 Listen to this episode and discover how the ghosts of medieval art haunt our digital age — and how understanding their origins helps us see modern imagery more clearly.

Michael Gove, former Cabinet Minister and one of Britain’s most articulate conservative thinkers, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for an unflinching conversation about the perilous state of Britain — a nation he says is “desperate” and in danger of moral collapse. From Islamist extremism on British streets to the cowardice of the political class, Gove warns that antisemitism is not a Jewish problem but a British sickness — a sign that the West has lost its faith, its confidence, and its sense of right and wrong. He argues that Islamism, like Nazism and Marxism before it, is a totalitarian ideology — one that Britain’s elites have failed to confront. He calls out the Foreign Office, the media, and academia for their naïve hostility to Israel, their indulgence of terror sympathisers, and their betrayal of Western civilisation’s own values. In this powerful and wide-ranging discussion, Gove reflects on the rise of Farage and Reform UK, on Tommy Robinson, on Israel’s fight for survival, and on the need to rediscover Britain’s Judeo-Christian moral core before it’s too late. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how the West lost its nerve — and how it might just find it again. 💬 We Discuss: ⚰️ Britain’s growing antisemitism — “a tragedy that bears examination” 🕌 Islamism, the new totalitarianism replacing Marxism 🇮🇱 Why hatred of Israel reveals hatred of the West itself 🏛️ The Foreign Office’s “permanent bias” against Israel 🕍 Attacks on synagogues and the illusion of Jewish safety in Britain 🎭 The far left and far right meeting in antisemitic conspiracy 🚔 Two-tier policing and surrendering Britain’s streets 🎤 Tommy Robinson, Farage, and the politics of rebellion 🏴‍☠️ The ideological alliance between Islamists and neo-Nazis 📚 How Britain’s intellectual class lost its moral bearings 🕊️ Judeo-Christian values as the foundation of liberty and equality 🔥 Why losing faith means losing civilisation itself 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Britain, freedom, and the fight for truth. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0qkgSo1kvoAXoZnqCVROYF Watch advert free for paid subscribers on Substack. 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com 👇 Comment below — Has Britain already crossed the line into moral surrender? #MichaelGove #JonathanSacerdoti #Britain #Islamism #BritishPolitics

When Israel agreed to release hundreds of convicted terrorists in exchange for its hostages, Tal Hartuv discovered that one of them was the man who stabbed her 18 times and murdered her friend. In this deeply moving and unsparing conversation, Tal speaks to Jonathan from Jerusalem, describing the impossible emotions of watching her attacker walk free — anger and disbelief mixed with relief that Israeli hostages are finally coming home. She reflects on her survival, on the moral price Israel is being forced to pay, and on the West’s complicity in distorting that reality. From the BBC’s “prisoner exchange” headlines to Labour’s recognition of a Palestinian state, she argues that Britain has lost its moral bearings — and that these lies have consequences measured in blood. This is a story of justice and betrayal, faith and fury — and of a survivor who refuses to let others decide what her suffering means. 💬 In this conversation: 💔 Watching her attacker’s release after 14 years in prison 🇮🇱 The unbearable dilemma of hostage deals in Israel 🧠 The long road from trauma to resilience 🇬🇧 How British media and politics helped shape the crisis ⚖️ Why “peace” without truth is just surrender 🕯 Hope, faith and the choice to keep living 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations about truth, trauma and the struggle for moral clarity. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ On Substack: jonsac.substack.com 👇 How should justice look when the price of mercy is this high? #TalHartuv #JonathanSacerdoti #Israel #Hostages #BBC #Labour #FreeSpeech #MediaBias #Hamas #Terrorism #MoralCrisis #UKPolitics

This is Tommy Robinson as you’ve never seen him before. In his most intimate and revealing conversation yet, Britain’s most controversial activist sits down with journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti, who asks the tough questions — about violence, Islam, Israel, fear, family, and the future of Britain. Branded a far-right extremist by his critics and a free speech champion by his supporters, Tommy Robinson (born Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) reflects on the chaos, the pain, and the conviction that have defined his life — from founding the English Defence League to surviving solitary confinement, therapy, and relentless media attacks. As he accepts an invitation to visit Israel by the country’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, he discusses what he learned during his last visit about propaganda, jihad and the Israeli reality the media refuses to show. Nothing is off-limits: the grooming gangs, his own regrets, the accusations of hate, and his belief that Britain is sleepwalking into cultural collapse. This is not a defence — it’s a reckoning. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand the man behind the headlines — and why he still believes he’s fighting for Britain’s soul. 💬 We Discuss: 🧠 The emotional cost of activism — therapy, fear and redemption 👩‍👦 What his family endured while he became a national villain 🚨 Grooming gangs, police cover-ups and the price of speaking out 🕌 Islam, jihad and the media’s manipulation of public fear 🇮🇱 Why he was invited to Israel — and what he learned there about coexistence and conflict ⚖️ Allegations of extremism and the line between courage and recklessness 🎙 The failures of the press, politicians and police — and what happens next for Britain If you enjoy these videos, you can donate to support this and other educational activities: https://secondtablet.org 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations on Britain, identity and truth. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ On Substack: jonsac.substack.com 📲 Follow Tommy On X: https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra 👇 Comment below — Is he a warning, a hero, or a symptom of Britain’s decline? #TommyRobinson #JonathanSacerdoti #FreeSpeech #BritishIdentity #Extremism #Islamism #MediaBias #GroomingGangs #Israel #Antisemitism #unitethekingdom #CivilisationCrisis #UKPolitics

Kellie-Jay Keen — known globally as Posie Parker — is the women’s rights campaigner behind the “adult human female” billboard and the viral call for women to “Free your face” from the niqab. In this fearless conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she challenges Britain’s cultural taboos: from niqab and who gets to wave a flag, to 'grooming-gang' euphemisms, transgender ideology, surrogacy, and the fragile social contract that used to hold public life together. Speaking with blunt clarity and lived intensity, she recalls being mobbed in New Zealand, touring the US and Australia under threat, and why she keeps going: because women — and children — pay the highest price when polite society refuses to name reality. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to hear an uncompromising defence of women’s rights, a critique of Britain’s double standards on race and culture, and why “being nice” is not a plan for freedom. 💬 We discuss: 👩‍⚖️ The meaning of “adult human female” — and why truths matter 🧕 “Free your face”: testimonies from women living behind the niqab 🏴 British flags vs Palestinian flags — how Englishness became controversial 🧩 Grooming-gang euphemisms and the cultural double standards that enable abuse ⚧ Transgenderism, fetish vs identity, and the costs of medicalisation 👶 Surrogacy, donor conception, and children’s rights to biological bonds 🏥 Why private freedom ends where the public contract begins 🚨 Being mobbed in Auckland, armed protection, and why she refuses to stop 🏠 Why liberating women transforms families, children — and societies 🗣 “Say the unsayable”: confronting taboos without cruelty or capitulation 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless interviews. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3AmG2XbVFO7I47Lzk43xoH 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ 👇 Comment below — Where do you draw the line between private freedom and the public square? #KellieJayKeen #PosieParker #WomensRights #FreeYourFace #EnglishIdentity #Niqab #FreeSpeech #TransgenderDebate #Surrogacy #GroomingGangs #UKPolitics #JonathanSacerdoti #Islam #LetWomenSpeak

Yasmine Mohammed is a Canadian human rights activist and author of "Unveiled". She escaped a forced marriage to an al-Qaeda member and now campaigns against Islamism’s grip on women and the West. In this raw and fearless conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she dismantles the illusion of “moderate Islam”, exposes the dangers of Western appeasement, and warns that what happened on October 7th is only the beginning. From honour killings and forced veiling to Islam’s political takeover of Western institutions, Yasmin shows how the West’s silence, naivety, and suicidal empathy are fuelling the very forces that want to destroy it. She insists that the problem is not cultural quirks or isolated extremists, it is Islam itself, and unless the West wakes up, the snake will keep biting. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand is Islam can be reformed, and why Western denial is handing victory to its enemies. 💬 We Discuss: 👩‍🦱 Life as a woman under Sharia — from forced marriage to niqab ⚔️ Is Islam inherently totalitarian and violent? 📖 Is moderate or reformed Islam a myth? 🩸 Honour killings, blasphemy laws, and the price of free thought 🐍 The fable of the snake — and how it explains October 7th 🏳️‍🌈 How the Left betrays women and gays by defending Islamists 📚 Universities, media, and government captured by Islamist influence 🇮🇷 Why Iran’s protestors show more courage than the West 🪖 Hamas, ISIS, al-Qaeda — different names, same jihadist project ⚰️ Why silence in the West is cultural surrender 🔔 Subscribe for more unflinching conversations on Islam, freedom, and survival. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4PuS69dqZU1axmSH4lBorN 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ 📲 Follow Yasmine On X: https://x.com/YasMohammedxx On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yasmohammedxx/ 👇 Comment below — Should the West finally admit Islam is beyond reform? #YasmineMohammed #JonathanSacerdoti #Islam #Sharia #WomensRights #FreeSpeech #SuicidalEmpathy #Islamism #October7 #CulturalSurrender #IranProtests #CivilisationalClash

Ruth Wasserman Lande is a former Israeli Knesset member, diplomat, intelligence expert, and Arabist — and she has a stark warning for Britain. Fresh from her viral Channel 4 interview, she tells Jonathan Sacerdoti why Western media is complicit in whitewashing extremism, how Qatar bankrolls the Muslim Brotherhood’s PR machine, and why the West is blind to the religious war already unfolding. Drawing on her years in intelligence, her study of Islam, and her political career, Ruth explains why October 7th shattered illusions not just for Israelis but for anyone in the West who still thinks radical Islam is about land or borders. From Hamas atrocities to Islamist indoctrination in schools from Sydney to London, she argues the West is next in line, and too many liberals are cheering it on. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why October 7th wasn’t just about Israel, but about the future of the entire free world. 💬 We Discuss: 📺 How Western media like Channel 4 push moral slogans instead of facts 🕌 Why Qatar funds a sophisticated Muslim Brotherhood propaganda machine 🩸 October 7th as a turning point in Israeli and global awareness 📚 Indoctrination of children in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority 🌍 Why this is not an “Israeli-Palestinian conflict” but a global Islamist war 👩‍👧 The danger to women, minorities, and liberal values in the West 🏳️‍🌈 How LGBT groups have been duped into supporting their own oppressors 🇮🇱 Why Israel is just the front line in a war against Western civilisation 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Israel, the West, and the ideologies threatening our future. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/07sc154kwJbhwiC4NBVcpu 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ 📲 Follow Ruth Wasserman Lande On X: https://x.com/rutilande 👇 Comment below — Is the West already too late to wake up? #RuthWassermanLande #JonathanSacerdoti #Channel4 #MediaBias #Qatar #MuslimBrotherhood #October7 #Hamas #IslamistTakeover #UKPolitics #Israel #Civilisation

Rafe Heydel-Mankoo is a British historian, political commentator, and cultural critic warning that the revolution in Britain has already happened — just not the kind we notice. In this urgent, unflinching conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, he lays bare the institutional capture of Britain, the alliance between the radical left and political Islam, and the future we’re too afraid to confront. From mass immigration and demographic change to Sharia patrols, so-called 'grooming gangs', and the erosion of free speech, Rafe argues the UK is on the brink of civil unrest, and the state knows it. He exposes the ideological subversion of Britain’s schools, the myth of Islamophobia, the danger of the Muslim Brotherhood, and why the British people are losing their own country without a fight. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why multiculturalism has fractured national identity, and what it would take to rebuild a confident Britain. 💬 We Discuss: 🧠 How British institutions were ideologically subverted 🏴‍☠️ Why wokeism is a mutation of Marxist revolution 📚 How schools and universities radicalised a generation 🚨 40,000 people on the terror watchlist 🕌 The Muslim Brotherhood’s deep reach into British society 💣 Why the government is afraid of radical Islam 🎓 Why Labour is only now pretending to care about immigration 💥 The risks of sectarian civil war — and how to stop it 🇬🇧 Why the British have been shamed out of patriotism 🔔 Subscribe for more brave conversations on Britain, identity, and truth. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4QSElZD2oHW53vMlHwxL1i 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ 📲 Follow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo On X: https://x.com/rafhm On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rafalhm 👇 Comment below — Is it too late to save Britain? #RafeHeydelMankoo #JonathanSacerdoti #CivilWarUK #Islamism #MassImmigration #WokeIdeology #InstitutionalCapture #BritishIdentity #RedGreenAlliance #TerrorWatchlist #MuslimBrotherhood #CulturalCollapse #UKPolitics
