America at a Crossroads
Date released: 11/13/2025
This week marked two vastly different days: the commemoration of Kristallnacht, the Nazi pogrom of 1938, which foreshadowed the horrors of the Holocaust, and Veterans Day in America, where we honor all those who have served our nation and opposed evil. As Jew hatred is legitimized by some in our country, the juxtaposition leads us to ask: what path will America choose?
Why does the world still hate the Jews
Date released: 11/06/2025
While antisemitism is not new, it is know as the oldest hatred, yet it is a virus that mutates and finds new victims to infect. We are seeing a surge in antisemitic conspiracies and Jew hatred masquerading as patriotism. It begs the question, why the Jews?
The Right Getting it Wrong
Date released: 10/30/2025
Since the October 7th massacre, we’ve increasingly seen the vilification of Israel and the Jewish people on the political fringes, but more and more we are seeing certain media personalities looking to mainstream Jew hatred. Just as vocally as we call it out on the antisemitism widespread now on the political left, we must also call it out on the right.
A view from the hill
Date released: 09/23/2025
This week, we are joined by Senior Director of Public Policy and Strategy for the CUFI Action Fund, Boris Zilberman. We discuss all the recent developments in the Middle East, the future of the ceasefire, Vice President Vance’s visit to Israel, and what we can expect on Capitol Hill in the coming weeks.
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?.
