Episodes
The Rise of Anti-Jewish Hate in American Politics
Date released: 05/28/2026
In this episode of CUFI Weekly, as a candidate in a Texas Democratic runoff announced she wanted to “put American Zionists in internment camps,’ Kasim examines the growing mainstreaming of antisemitic rhetoric in American discourse and how outrage, hostility, and conspiracy against Israel and the Jewish people are increasingly being used for popularity, influence, and online clout.
My First Memorial Day as an American Citizen
Date released: 05/21/2026
As Americans prepare to honor Memorial Day, Kasim reflects on experiencing this tradition for the first time as a U.S. citizen. This episode is a reminder that Memorial Day is about honoring those who gave their lives in defense of freedom and in the fight against evil.
At a time when hateful ideologies are resurfacing, forgetting their sacrifice dishonors both America and those who fought tyranny. As America approaches 250 years, we are in a time for choosing.
The Day Jerusalem Was Reborn
Date released: 5/14/2026
On this episode of CUFI Weekly, as Jerusalem Day and Israel’s Independence Day on the Gregorian calendar fall on the same day, we explore the miracle of Israel’s rebirth and the reunification of Jerusalem—a city open to people of all faiths.
Even in the midst of war, terror, and uncertainty, Israel’s story remains one of resilience, hope, and miracles in the darkness. From restoring access to holy sites to standing strong against impossible odds, this episode highlights why Jerusalem continues to matter to people worldwide.
American Jewish History IS American History
Date released: 05/07/2026
This week on CUFI Weekly, we honor American Jewish Heritage Month by celebrating the extraordinary contributions Jewish Americans have made to the United States — from medicine and military service to science, culture, and innovation.
As antisemitism rises and voices seek to “other” the Jewish community, we are reminded that Jewish history is woven into America’s story itself.
Antisemitism is not just a Jewish issue — it is a moral issue that threatens the values of freedom, dignity, and unity that define our nation.
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?.
