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.
Another attack: What is the future for Great Britain’s Jewish community
Date released: 04/30/2026
As Israelis face a relentless barrage of missiles from the Iranian regime, a flashpoint in Jerusalem is being weaponized by anti-Israel voices to push the false claim that the Jewish state is anti-Christian. This week, we break down the facts behind the incident, expose how real Christian persecution across the region is being ignored, and confront how the message of Jesus is being distorted by those claiming His name to justify hostility toward the Jewish people. As King Charles of Great Britain arrived in the United States on a state visit, there are some serious issues we must discuss in Great Britain. Every day, a new antisemitic attack is reported. Is this a chilling insight into what could happen right here in the United States, or can we change course before it’s too late?
Israel at 78: Still Standing Against All Odds
Date released: 04/23/2026
The CUFI Weekly celebrates Israel’s 78th Independence Day and the miracle of a nation that overcame impossible odds. Surrounded by enemies and forged through sacrifice, Israel became a global force for innovation, medicine, technology, and hope. Join us as we honor 78 years of courage, resilience, and blessing to the world.
I was Muslim. Here’s the Truth About “Muslims Love Jesus.”
Date released: 4/16/2026
A growing narrative is being pushed into Christian communities claiming that Islam “honors” Jesus—often not to promote understanding, but to weaponize faith against the Jewish people and the State of Israel. This week, we examine how that message is being used, what Islamic sources actually say about Jesus, and why some voices are so eager to distort truth in order to build hostility toward Israel and the Jewish community.
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?.
