Israel responds after Houthis strike

Date released: 05/08/2025

The Houthis launched a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv this week, which landed near Ben Gurion Airport and wounded six people. In response, Israel struck Yemen’s main airport and two other sites.

Unlike the Houthis, Israel gave a warning before their attack to avoid civilian casualties, yet pro-terror activists demonize Israel’s response and justify Houthi terrorism. Tune in to learn about the conflict.

Never Forget the Incredible Israeli Spirit

Date released: 05/01/2025

Israel remembers its fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism this week on Yom Hazikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day, followed immediately by celebrations on Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day.

As sirens sound and Israelis pause both days, first in solemn remembrance, and then in joyous celebration, find out how you can honor and support the miraculous nation of Israel.

 Why this Holocaust Remembrance Day hits harder

Date released: 4/24/2025

This week, the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust are remembered on Yom HaShoah, Israeli Holocaust Remembrance Day. But as antisemitism spikes nationwide, does the solemn promise of “Never Again” still hold true?

In this episode, Kasim cautions that remembering the Holocaust means nothing if Americans refuse to stand up and speak out against antisemitism. Learn how you can combat this age-old hatred.

What Hamas doesn’t want you to know

Date released: 4/17/2025

Hamas rejected another ceasefire proposal this week, choosing to prolong the war and refusing to release hostages who have been starved and abused for over 550 days. Still, Hamas apologists in the West justify the terror organization’s violence against innocent Israelis.

In this episode, Kasim reflects on the fate of nations throughout past centuries that stood against Israel, urging Americans to stand on the right side of history.

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?.
