Debunking Iran war conspiracy theories
Think Twice: At the heart of much of the opposition to the war the United States and Israel are waging to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and spreading Islamist tyranny with terror is a conspiracy theory. Both left-wingers and some on the right still believe in myths about Israel or the Jews manipulating American foreign policy, says JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin.
He’s joined in this week’s episode of Think Twice by historian and Wall Street Journal columnist Walter Russell Mead who points out that surges of antisemitism in the United States, such as the one we’re currently experiencing, is a function of other factors which impact national discourse like economics and mass migration.

The Hidden Strategy Behind The War In Iran
The Hidden Strategy Behind The War In Iran
True East: While headlines focus on strikes and leadership eliminations, a far bigger story is unfolding beneath the surface. From the Strait of Hormuz to China’s energy dependence, from Iran’s terror network to shifting global power, this conflict is not just about the Middle East, it’s about the future of the world. Why did a senior U.S. counterterror official resign and blame Israel? What does the deployment of the USS Tripoli really signal? And how do oil choke points, global supply chains, and China’s ambitions all connect to this moment? IDF Spokesman (Res.) Doron Spielman unpacks the hidden strategy, the misinformation, and the next phase of a war that is rapidly escalating beyond what most people realize.

What’s at stake in the Iran nuclear crisis
What’s at stake in the Iran nuclear crisis
Israel Undiplomatic: In a recent CNBC interview, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff referred to Israel as a “one-bomb country,” a remark that sparked debate about Israel’s unique security challenges. In this episode, Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum discuss what Witkoff meant and why Israel’s situation differs from that of larger countries like the United States. Israel is currently confronting threats on multiple fronts, facing Iran and its proxies while also battling Hezbollah in Lebanon, all while defending its own population from missile attacks. The discussion explores how Israel conducts offensive operations abroad while protecting its home front. The episode also looks at what some see as mixed messaging from President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about how and when the conflict might end, and Netanyahu’s appeal to the Iranian people to challenge the current regime. What do these signals mean and what could they mean for the future of the region?
Why people still love dead Jews

Think Twice: Jews shouldn’t have to choose between fighting antisemitism and bolstering Jewish identity. According to JNS editor-in-chief, the assertion of New York Times columnist Bret Stephens that the Jewish community should stop doing the former and concentrate on the latter is a false choice. They need, he says, to continue to do both, though, admittedly the critique of Jew-hatred is often badly executed. He’s joined in this week’s episode of Think Twice by Dara Horn, author of the highly influential 2021 book, People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present and the recently published Passover-themed graphic novel One Little Goat. Horn is the founder and president of The Tell Institute, which is devoted to educating the public about Jewish civilization. She says the lessons of her previous book still apply in the post-Oct. 7 era.
