When Jew-Hatred Grows, Violence Follows
Date released: 12/18/2025
In the wake of the horrific attack on a Jewish family celebrating Hanukkah in Bondi Beach in Australia, we cannot shy away from the reality that this is result of years of demonization and the normalization of Jew hate across the world. As 2025 becomes 2026, we must ask ourselves, what is our response to this tidal wave of hate?
When Hate Blinds Patriotism
Date released: 12/11/2025
Over 250,000 American servicemen died fighting Nazi Germany, yet in 2025, we have seen a surge in praise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis right here in America. There is something deeply troubling that those who claim to care about America are now lionizing those who killed so many American soldiers, simply because they hate Jews.
Born a Jew in Bethlehem: The Truth About Jesus’ Identity
Date released: 12/04/2025
As we approach Christmas and remember the birth of Jesus, in addition to the Christmas traditions we are so accustomed to, we will see the promotion of an insidious lie used to delegitimize Jewish history and the Bible itself, the lie that Jesus is a Palestinian.
What has Israel done for me?
Date released: 11/20/2025
Israel is relentlessly smeared and demonized, while online “activists” virtue signal without lifting a finger beyond hitting send on their phones. Israel has for decades been answering the call when nations are in distress, and that includes being there in America’s moments of need.
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?.
