On October 7, some 2,000 Hamas terrorists invaded Israel. Atrocities ensued against innocent civilian children, women, and men. Scores were abducted into Gaza.

Israel has promised to utterly destroy Hamas and its infrastructure with an “unprecedented response.”

Are residents of Gaza innocent civilians? Or are they complicit in Hamas’s acts of barbarity?

Foreign policy analyst Josh Block and international legal expert Avi Bell join Edwin; Rachel Ehrenfeld, Juda Engelmayer, Francisco Gil-White, Walid Phares, Sharon Polsky, and Zalmi Unsdorfer provide additional reports from around the world.

Spyware in apps and hardware, dark money in politics, policing stations on our territory, intellectual property theft as standard operating policy, subtle—and not so subtle—military threats.

A proclaimed goal to dominate the world by 2035.

What’s happening and how soon? Hudson Institute foreign policy fellow Josh Block joins Edwin.

Before we get to the main topic, Avi Bell joins us to give an update on the Israeli judicial reform process.

Judicial reform is tearing Israel apart—to the point of possible civil war. Outside forces and media are continuously stoking the flames.

Legal experts Avi Bell, Alan Dershowitz, and Nathan Lewin plus history scholar Sam Edelman join Edwin to uncover the facts and spell out exactly what's at stake.

Join Edwin, JNS Bureau Chief Alex Traiman, Brandeis Center President Alyza Lewin, international jurist Avi Bell, and Mideast scholar Harold Rhode for insider insights into Israel—live from the presidential suite of the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem.

How two ambiguously-worded sentences written in 1899 by murderous regimes have been used and abused to create the fiction of an Israeli occupation of Gaza and the “West Bank”—a fiction which has bamboozled the world for decades. International lawyer Avi Bell joins Edwin.

The UN Human Rights Council has established a permanent commission of inquiry to, among other things, investigate Israel as an “apartheid state.” It is but the latest UN Lie about the Jewish State, calculated to demonize Israel above all other nations combined. Joining Edwin are international law expert Avi Bell, StandWithUs Research Director Max Samarov, and NGO Monitor legal advisor Anne Herzberg.

We have heard about Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. Soon we shall hear about Silwan. House demolitions and evictions make for evocative video. But what are the facts about the property—and what is the propaganda? International jurists Avi Bell in Jerusalem and Natasha Hausdorff join Edwin to dig into the history, the law, and the reality.

The International Criminal Court is taking action against Israel for defending itself against Hamas terror. Is the ICC an authentic court? Who recognizes it? What’s behind the ICC investigation?

Distinguished international jurist Avi Bell, International Legal Forum Director Yifa Segal, and UK Lawyers for Israel Chief Executive Jonathan Turner join Edwin to make the case.

 “Israeli Sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.” The Edwin Black Show and the Jewish News Syndicate jointly hosted a global town hall on Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. The Jewish State is now preparing to apply its modern sovereignty to portions of its ancient land—Judea and Samaria. Edwin Black and JNS Jerusalem Bureau Chief Alex Traiman  are joined by others worldwide for a special event exploring the historical, legal, political, and economic ramifications of this turning point event, including expert panelists Natasha Hausdorff, director of UK Lawyers for Israel, in London, Alan Mendoza, director of the Henry Jackson Society, in London, Mitch Bard, who heads up the Jewish Virtual Library, in Washington DC, and leading international jurist Avi Bell, in Jerusalem.
