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.
