CUFI Weekly: No Jews, No News

This week, a conservative podcaster claimed that Israel is controlling Robert F. Kennedy Jr., joining other popular commentators on the right who are recycling decades-old antisemitic lies.

 In this episode, Kasim calls out podcasters and commentators on both the right and the left who peddle antisemitic tropes and challenge Christians to stop the spread of cancerous lies that harm the Jewish people.

CUFI Weekly: International sports spotlight Israel-Hamas War

Thousands of Gazans protested Hamas this week. Meanwhile Israel, Gaza, and the hostages were a hot topic among players and coaches in international sports.

In this episode, Kasim notes the cowardly and courageous who made headlines and highlights an important pro-Israel event this summer that will unite Christians and Jews.

CUFI Weekly: War Returns to the Region

After weeks of Hamas refusing to engage in serious negotiations, Jerusalem was compelled to resume attacks against the terrorist group. 

In this week’s edition of The Weekly, Kasim explains what led to the resumption in fighting and what needs to happen in the future.

CUFI Weekly: Chag Purim Sameach!

This week, Jews around the world will celebrate the holiday of Purim to commemorate Queen Esther’s courageous acts that saved the Jewish people from genocide in Persia, which is present-day Iran.

Today, although the Iranian regime still seeks Israel’s destruction, Amelia explains why the Jewish people can rest in the knowledge that no force, whether ancient or modern, will ever wipe them from the earth.

Meet Your Host

Kasim Hafeez

Kasim Hafeez is a British citizen of Pakistani Muslim heritage who grew up being exposed to radical anti-Western, antisemitic, and anti-Israel ideas daily. During his teenage years, Kasim embraced a radical Islamist ideology and became very active in the anti-Israel movement. Thankfully, Alan Dershowitz’s book The Case for Israel challenged Kasim’s fundamental beliefs and caused him to undertake a period of research and reflection that led him to Israel in 2007. Witnessing the true nature of the Jewish state changed Kasim’s perception of Israel. He felt a moral obligation to publicly speak out for Israel and the dangers of radical Islam. He has spoken all over the world including the 2013 Global Forum on Combatting Antisemitism and before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. Kasim has appeared on radio, television, and in print media. Kasim also appears alongside Holocaust survivor Irving Roth in CUFI’s full-length feature documentary Never Again?.
