The Propaganda War Against Israel
Date released: 3/19/2026
In the midst of the 1967 Six-Day War, as the IDF was making stunning victories, the Voice of the Arabs radio pumped out messages such as “We are on the verge of entering Tel Aviv.” In 2026, while the means of delivery have changed, the propaganda claiming Israel’s destruction during the current operations has not changed. Words matter, and social media users continue to spread falsehoods about the conflict, and those falsehoods incite deadly consequences right here in the United States.
The Narrative vs. The Reality
Date released: 03/12/2026
As the strikes against the regime in Iran continue, one of the first victims of this conflict has been the truth, As talking heads choose fiction over fact, and while the regime escalates its attacks—including launching illegal cluster munitions toward Israeli population centers— Israeli families are once again living under fire. At the same time, we expose the growing hypocrisy of self-proclaimed “human rights” activists in the West who celebrate rockets fired at Israel and defend the very regime responsible for the violence.
What Iran started we will finish
Date released: 03/05/2026
As headlines focus on the U.S.-Israel strikes on the regime in Iran, it’s time to confront the truth behind the conflict. In this episode, Kasim challenges the narrative that America is fighting “Israel’s war” and highlights the regime’s decades-long record of hostility toward the United States since 1979.
But the battle today isn’t only military—it’s also a fight against misinformation online. This episode breaks down the facts and why speaking the truth has never mattered more.
Dangerous Lies About Israel and Iran
Date released: 02/26/2026
As talks with Iran dominate headlines, it’s time to learn behind the rhetoric. In this episode, Kasim challenges the false narrative that Israel is driving conflict and refocuses attention on the Iranian regime’s long record of brutality, global terror, and repression of its own people. From nuclear negotiations to regional violence, get a clear-eyed look at why these conversations matter—and what’s at stake if the truth is sidelined.
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?.
