Fleur Hassan Nahum has worked at the sharp end of politics, media and national crisis. As a former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem and Special Envoy for Innovation, she has dealt directly with international leaders, hostile broadcasters and the pressures that follow war into every public space. In this conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she lifts the lid to reveal the real workings of media and politics, drawing on her own personal experience. She reflects on her repeated appearances on Piers Morgan Uncensored and explains why she became increasingly critical of the programme, and the man. She describes a media environment that rewards confrontation, elevates extreme voices and treats serious issues as clickbait content. She discusses her own interactions with Benjamin Netanyahu, assessing his political skill and strategic instincts alongside the divisions, communication failures and long term costs of leadership during war. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how personal experience exposes institutional failure, and why October 7 tested the credibility of the West.

Condemned by mobs on the streets of the West, denounced by governments across Europe and beyond, and vilified by the United Nations and its satellite institutions, Israel might nevertheless be in a stronger strategic position than at any point in its history. Two years after October 7th, Israel’s international standing has deteriorated even as its regional power has expanded. What appears in Western capitals as isolation and moral failure is understood very differently in the Middle East, where strength is measured not by approval but by the capacity to act, to endure condemnation, and to defeat enemies who interpret restraint as weakness. In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Dan Schueftan, Head of the International Graduate Programme in National Security at the University of Haifa, about why Israel is emerging from this war in a dramatically improved strategic position, despite unprecedented hostility from Western opinion. Schueftan argues that Israel has dismantled Iran’s regional architecture piece by piece, humiliated Islamist movements across multiple fronts, and forced Arab regimes to confront an uncomfortable reality. Their own survival now depends less on Western guarantees and more on a strong, feared, and determined Israel. The discussion moves beyond the battlefield to examine why Europe has drifted from strategic thinking into ideological paralysis, why progressive politics treats self defence as a moral failure, and why Israel’s greatest strength lies not in its political leadership but in a society willing to fight, endure and rebuild without illusions. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why Israel’s unpopularity in the West has coincided with a historic consolidation of power in the Middle East, and what that reveals about the condition of Western civilisation. 💬 We Discuss: 🧱 Why legitimacy in the West matters less than deterrence in the Middle East 🔥 How Iran’s proxy network was degraded through sequential confrontation 🛡 Why fear, not affection, is the foundation of regional stability 🏛 How European politics abandoned strategy for moral exhibitionism 🧠 Why progressive ideology treats weakness as virtue 👨‍👩‍👧 How Israeli social resilience outperformed political leadership ⚔ The shift from reactive defence to pre emptive security doctrine 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Britain, freedom and the fight for truth. 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: ⁠https://x.com/jonsac⁠ On Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/⁠ On Substack: ⁠https://jonsac.substack.com⁠ 👇 Comment below — can a society survive when it confuses moral approval with the will to defend itself? #israel #DanSchueftan #JonathanSacerdoti #MiddleEast #Iran #WesternCivilisation #Security #Geopolitics

For years, British public life told itself a comforting lie: that tolerance meant silence, that compassion meant compliance, and that asking hard questions was somehow immoral. Josh Howie no longer believes that story. In this uncompromising conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Howie explains how comedy, journalism and politics were quietly captured by fear. Not fear of violence, but fear of social punishment: being labelled, deplatformed, or cast out for stating obvious truths. Now host of Free Speech Nation on GB News, Howie describes how institutions surrendered their authority through cowardice rather than coercion. He traces how activists reshaped language, how journalists abandoned clarity, and how dissent was redefined as extremism. He also speaks candidly about antisemitism on the contemporary left, the vulnerability of Jews caught between hostile extremes, and why historical memory makes neutrality impossible. What emerges is a conversation about free speech not as a slogan, but as the last line of defence between democracy and ideological conformity. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how Britain reached a point where telling the truth feels like a political act. 💬 We discuss: 🎭 Why comedians became the last people willing to speak plainly 📰 How mainstream media normalised omission and distortion 🧠 The capture of language and the policing of thought ⚖️ Why women’s rights and biological reality were reframed as hate 🕍 Antisemitism on the left and the collapse of old political loyalties 🏛️ How institutions surrendered authority through fear and careerism 🧭 Political homelessness and the erosion of left–right meaning 🚨 Why dissent is now treated as danger rather than necessity 🗣️ Free speech as a cultural immune system — and what happens when it fails 🔔 Subscribe for more unflinching conversations about power, culture and the battle for truth in Britain. 📲 Follow Jonathan: X: https://x.com/jonsac Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ Watch without adverts on Substack (for paid subscribers): https://jonsac.substack.com 👇 Comment below — Has Britain lost the courage to tell the truth, or just the will to pay the price for it? #JoshHowie #JonathanSacerdoti #FreeSpeech #MediaFailure #CulturalCapture #GBNews #Antisemitism #UKPolitics #Comedy #Truth

For more than half a century, Professor Mordechai Kedar has studied Arabic language, Islamic texts and Middle Eastern political culture from the inside. A former Israeli military intelligence officer and one of Israel’s most seasoned experts on Arab society, he has spent decades listening to what the region says in its own words, not through Western translations or assumptions. In this far reaching conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Kedar argues that the West’s greatest failure is not moral but interpretive. Immigration, Islam and integration, he says, are routinely analysed through liberal democratic frameworks that simply do not apply. Drawing on history, theology and direct engagement with the region, he explains why migration has a radically different meaning inside Islamic thought, why movements like the Muslim Brotherhood see Western societies themselves as occupied space, and why democracy is not a shared universal ideal. Rather than offering a policy argument, Kedar presents a civilisational diagnosis. He traces how post colonial guilt, demographic change and cultural self doubt have combined to leave Europe and America defending themselves with rules their opponents neither share nor respect. The danger, he warns, is not extremism alone, but a society that has forgotten how to name the difference between tolerance and surrender. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why debates about immigration and Islam are really about power, identity and whether the West still believes in its own legitimacy. 💬 We Discuss: 🧠 Why understanding Arabic language changes how you hear Islamist politics 📜 How Islamic history frames migration as authority, not resettlement 🏛️ Why democracy and equality are not culturally universal concepts 🕌 Islam versus Islamism, and why avoiding the distinction is fatal 🌍 How post colonial thinking reshaped European decision making 📈 Demography, birth rates and why trends become destiny 🚨 The Muslim Brotherhood’s long strategy and its influence in the West 🏘️ Integration, parallel societies and where the line is crossed ⚖️ Why liberal systems struggle against illiberal movements ⏳ Whether Europe and America still have time to recover cultural confidence 🔔 Subscribe for more serious conversations about extremism, identity and the future of Western civilisation. 📲 Follow Jonathan: X: https://x.com/jonsac Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ Watch without adverts if you subscribe on Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com 👇 Comment below.

A filmmaker set out to document the fallout of October seventh. Instead, she uncovered something far larger and far darker: a coordinated ideological capture of Western institutions, a foreign-funded corrosion of democratic values, and a generation primed to cheer for extremists before the bodies in Israel had even been counted. Wendy Sachs joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for a stark, unflinching look at how the world lost its bearings on October eighth, and why the shockwaves are still reshaping global politics today. Sachs traces the journey from campus slogans to international propaganda machines: the sudden mobilisation of Students for Justice in Palestine, the foreign financing behind them, and the decades-long strategy to infiltrate universities, media and social platforms. She reveals how Qatar, Iran and China have poured billions into Western education while demanding silence about their own regimes, how academics have embraced an oppressor–oppressed fiction that rewards extremism, and how young people were ideologically groomed long before October seventh made the crisis visible. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why October eighth wasn’t a reaction — it was a revelation. 💬 We Discuss: 📽️ How October 8th exposes the ideological collapse after the Hamas massacre 🗽 The Times Square celebrations before the dead were even named 🎓 The hidden foreign funding behind SJP and campus radicalism 🔺 The origins of the red-triangle symbol and why its use is a call to violence 📡 Decades of Hamas messaging strategy revealed in FBI wiretaps 🌍 How anti-Zionism became the fashionable disguise for old antisemitic tropes 💸 Qatar, China and Iran’s billion-dollar grip on Western universities 📚 The academic shift from scholarship to indoctrination 🧠 How TikTok and social algorithms manufactured a generation’s worldview 🏛️ Why institutions police “offence” but not extremism 🎞️ Why Hollywood is now a battleground for foreign influence 🔥 The climate of hate: from campus cancellations to political assassinations 🕊️ How Jews rediscovered identity — and why the crisis reaches far beyond them ⚖️ What it will take for democracies to fight back, and whether they still can 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about democracy, extremism and the future of the free world. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/51fm2ub7XXdGF0OlPO2Eq3?si=KTSqMzY5Rhekb89xSvFv6g 📲 Follow Jonathan: X: https://x.com/jonsac Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ Watch without adverts if you subscribe on Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com 👇 Comment below — Are Western institutions still capable of defending themselves, or has the ideological capture gone too far? #Antisemitism #Extremism #FreeSpeech #CampusProtests #SJP #QatarInfluence #Democracy #WesternValues #Hamas #Israel #MediaBias #IdeologicalCapture #Universities #TikTokBrainwashing #ForeignFunding #October7 #October8 #WendySachs #JonathanSacerdoti

Investigative journalist and media analyst David Collier joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for his clearest and most wide-ranging conversations yet about Britain, the media, extremism and the pressures reshaping public life. Drawing on years of undercover work inside activist movements, online networks and university groups, Collier explains what he has seen from the inside — and why he believes the country is struggling to understand the forces acting on it. David didn’t set out to become an investigator. His career began in Israel, before returning to a Britain he barely recognised. That shock pushed him to look more closely: into anti-Israel activism, into how information flows from Gaza to British newsrooms, and into the way online platforms drive people toward extremes. The picture he’s built over years of research has made him one of the most cited independent analysts of media bias and modern extremism in the UK. Watch if you want a clear, detailed account of the pressures shaping Britain — from someone who has spent years mapping them. 💬 We Discuss: 🕵️‍♂️ How Collier went undercover inside anti-Israel and activist networks 🌐 Social media echo chambers and how they distort public life 🎥 The BBC’s Gaza documentary and what it revealed about reporting pipelines 🧩 Why Western journalism struggles to read Middle Eastern information sources 📉 Cultural confidence, national identity and public trust 🚨 The rise of political Islam and its influence on British politics 📊 Demographic change and why it matters in Collier’s analysis 🏫 NGO and university culture, and how activist currents spread 🪧 Public symbolism: Palestinian flags, British flags and what each signals ⚖️ Why Jews increasingly feel unsure of their place in the UK 📣 How mainstream parties have mishandled these challenges 🔎 What Collier believes the next decade could look like for Britain Subscribe for more conversations about Britain, culture and the forces shaping our future. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: Watch advert-free on Substack: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2mYyHgCzR5m6z6iMmQn959 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com 👇 Comment below — What part of Collier’s diagnosis do you agree or disagree with? #Britain #DavidCollier #Extremism #MediaBias #BBC #Politics #BritishJews #FreeSpeech #UKCulture #Israel #Hamas #Gaza #SocialMedia #InvestigativeJournalism

A landmark tribunal has ruled that Islam critical beliefs are protected under the Equality Act, and the man at the centre of that historic decision, Patrick Lee, sits down with Jonathan Sacerdoti for his first full, unfiltered interview since the judgment shook Britain’s institutions. Patrick Lee is an actuary who never sought public attention, yet found himself monitored, censured and threatened by his own professional body for simply quoting Islamic scripture and raising concerns about extremism, women’s rights and child protection. His case exposed a troubling truth: Britain has become far more comfortable policing offence than confronting doctrines that harm the vulnerable. In this powerful conversation, Lee explains how he went from a quiet private citizen to the unlikely figurehead of a legal battle about free speech, Islam and the limits of criticism in a supposedly liberal democracy. He details how the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries secretly scrutinised his tweets, why the tribunal finally defended his right to speak, and what his victory means for every citizen who refuses to lie about reality. This is not just a story about one man. It is a warning about what happens when fear governs public life, when institutions appease extremism, and when silence becomes a national reflex. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why Britain is losing its moral courage — and why this ruling may be a turning point. 💬 We Discuss: 📜 The tribunal decision protecting Islam critical beliefs in UK law 🕌 Why Lee began scrutinising Islamic doctrine post 11 September 📚 The violent Qur’anic and hadith texts he publicly highlighted 🧕 How teachings on women, girls and child marriage shaped his concerns 🚔 The grooming gangs scandal and the culture of enforced silence 🏛️ His regulator’s secret monitoring of his social media 🧩 The critical distinction between attacking ideas and attacking people ⚖️ How sensitivity culture now outranks child safety and women’s rights 🔥 The reach of cancel culture inside British institutions 🕊️ Why free speech is the essential foundation of democracy 🇮🇷 The role of Masih Alinejad’s warnings about Iran in the context of his tweets 🧠 The moral duty to speak when everyone else is afraid 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Britain, freedom and the fight for truth. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/53OXMwbAnnVt3CtFvhLqKt Watch advert free for paid subscribers on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/jonsac/p/his-islam-critical-beliefs-are-protected 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com 👇 Comment below — Does protecting criticism of Islam mark the beginning of Britain’s free speech fightback?

The BBC is facing its biggest crisis in decades — but the scandal isn’t just about two resignations. It’s about years of skewed reporting, buried corrections, and a newsroom culture that has normalised bias while persuading the public that it stands for impartial truth. In this revealing conversation, Hadar Sela, co-editor of CAMERA UK and one of the most meticulous analysts of BBC coverage anywhere, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti to peel back the layers of structural failure inside the BBC: the habits, blind spots, and editorial decisions that have shaped public perception of Israel, terrorism, and the Middle East for over a decade. What you’ll hear in this eye-opening discussion: 📺 Why years of complaints and warnings about BBC bias were ignored 🧩 How “mistakes” always seem to land in the same ideological direction 📰 The hidden power of the BBC’s archive as a distorted historical record 🚨 The Gaza hospital story: a case study in misreporting and zero accountability ⚖️ Why the “what we knew at the time” defence has become a shield against truth 🧾 How the BBC relies on activists, partisan NGOs, and compromised sources 💣 Why Palestinian terror attacks are almost never reported — and what that omission achieves 🧠 The newsroom culture that discourages dissent and buries internal criticism 📉 BBC Verify: why the fact-checking unit often amplifies misinformation instead of correcting it 🔍 How corrections arrive months or years late, quietly, and without transparency 🗂️ Why an external investigation — not internal reforms — may be the BBC’s only hope 🇮🇱 How skewed reporting has helped normalise public debate about Israel’s very right to exist 🔻 The human cost of selective storytelling: Israelis displaced, traumatised, or killed yet barely covered 📢 What an independent complaints system could look like — and why the current process is broken beyond repair 🎧 Listen to this episode if you want to understand not just what has gone wrong inside the BBC, but why it keeps happening — and why so many journalists, former staff, and media analysts are now calling for radical external oversight.
