Washington’s Middle East delusion

Watch: “Axis of Truth” with political commentator Emily Schrader

Host Emily Schrader dismantles the growing fantasy at the heart of Washington’s Middle East policy to expose how the Trump administration’s desperation for peace has blurred reality, empowered Hamas and ignored Israel’s right to sovereignty. Schrader takes aim at U.S. envoys who treat the region like a corporate merger rather than a war of ideology, faith, and survival and warns that America’s current approach risks enabling terror under the guise of diplomacy.

Later, she sits down with Jonathan Harounoff, Israel’s international spokesman to the United Nations and author of Unveiled, to discuss the “Women, Life, Freedom” uprising in Iran, the regime’s escalating repression and the UN’s shocking complicity in legitimizing Tehran’s human‑rights abuses.

Emily Schrader is the host of the “Axis of Truth” podcast on JNS and the co-host of “The Quad,” also a JNS podcast. She is also an award-winning content creator and public speaker on the Middle East, particularly Iran.
Alyza Lewin, of Combat Antisemitism Movement, told JNS that the district attorney is “getting disqualified from prosecuting a case involving antisemitism” for recognizing modern Jew-hatred.
Korn stated that the vote came a “consequential moment for the Jewish people and the State of Israel.”
The ordinance was proposed after anti-Israel activists repeatedly protested outside the private residence of Rep. Adam Smith.
Sarah Levin, of Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa, told JNS that “educators are being trained on materials that erase and rewrite Jewish history.”
The U.K. had in 2025 the highest per capita rate of antisemitic assaults of any country with a large Jewish community.
“No Jewish community in this country has been left unscathed over the past several years,” said B’nai Brith Canada’s CEO.
