TFJ Season 6 Episode 7 The Slippery Slope of Falsehood (B)
May 27, 2026
16:31
Hitler's Big Lie found fresh expression with Hamas supporters claiming the absurdity that Israel is perpetrating genocide in its right to defend itself, executed in a legal and humane way. An accusation launched by none other than an organization that has in its charter and all of its rhetoric the desire to destroy Israel and every Jew living therein. In this episode we explore how Hitler and the Nazi propaganda machine utilized the "big lie" with incredible effectiveness. Whereas the virtuous woman is extolled for being an individual that may always be trusted, we conclude with a chilling story highlighting that the word of honor of one not committed to truth, is a mockery of honor.

TFJ Season 6 Episode 8 The Water Wars, Israel's National Water Carrier, The Emergence of the PLO
Jun 10, 2026
25:38
In 1964, Israel completed its National Water Carrier, leading the Arab states to worry about the economic growth this would mean for Israel. They understood that water meant agriculture, agriculture meant food security, food security meant Israel could absorb more immigrants, more immigrants meant a larger population, and a larger population meant a stronger army and a state that would be more difficult to dislodge. Syria tried to divert the waters of the Chazbani and Banias rivers away from Israel, but in successive skirmishes Israeli tank crews wreaked havoc on Syrian bulldozers earthmoving equipment and tanks. Eventually, Syria and the other Arab states abandoned the diversion effort. On January 1, 1965 was the first terrorist incursion of a new organization called the PLO. This marked the emergence of a new model of Palestinian nationalism—one that would place armed struggle at its core and would, over time, come to dominate the Palestinian national movement.

TFJ Season 6 Episode 4 Eichmann Trial conclusion
Apr 15, 2026
28:31
Aside from demonstrating that Israel felt responsible for the entire Jewish People, and accordingly would bring a mass-murderer to trial for an act that had been perpetuated before the State was formed, and not on its turf, extracting him from a third country half a world away, Israel's prime minister had an educational agenda that would be accomplished through the trial. Israel's youth had never encountered the Holocaust and were appallingly ignorant and derisive about the subject. How could Jews be so passive about their own deaths, they wondered, and they treated survivors with scorn instead of with the respect and sympathy that they deserved. The Eichmann trial changed all of this as the entire country listed in rapt attention as 110 witnesses took the stand and explained in meticulous detail what the Nazis perpetrated and what they had suffered. As Israel's lead prosecutor said in his opening statement that he does not stand alone, with him are six million accusers. The trial was well-received around the world as an embodiment of historical justice, although it surprisingly also revealed the banality of evil.

A garrison manned by Jordanian gunners in the high grounds of Latrun overlooking the sole road to Jerusalem saw to it that no trucks bringing relief to the city could pass. Ben Gurion ordered that Latrun be taken, but Israel had neither the manpower nor the weaponry to launch a successful assault and each of its attacks were futile and very costly. A shepherd path was accidentally discovered beyond the view of the Arab gunners, and hundreds of Israeli volunteers worked around the clock to convert this winding path strewn with rocks and pits into a viable road for trucks to bring desperately needed supplies to Jerusalem. The miraculous road, discovered and created so providentially, was named the Burma Road because of its similarity of circumstances to the road built by the Allies during world War II connecting Burma to Southwest China to avert the Japanese sea blockade. This episode has been enhanced by the excellent “History of Israel Explained/Unpacked” series.

TFJ invited eloquent and dynamic Alex Traiman, CEO of Jewish News Syndicate, to explain the current situation in the Middle East. Alex Traiman is a go to for accurate news analysis and uncensored perspective on what lay behind current events. In this eye-opening interview (recorded On November 25, 2024) Mr. Traiman provides a fascinating understanding of Prime Minister Netanyahu who is constantly reviled by the Left and the Media without ever acknowledging the man’s incredible fortitude and leadership. The JNS Jerusalem Bureau Chief also lucidly explained how recent events have shattered myths and conceptions such as, “The devil we know is better than the devil we do not know,” “Good fences make good neighbors,” “Our enemies care more about their economic well-being than they do about killing Jews.” With trenchant examples, Traiman explains how each one of these concepts was faulty and has proven to be a notion that misled policy with tragic consequences. There was also the military misconception that believed that troops on the ground were not necessary if there was the proper monitoring and surveillance in place. In his hallmark way of looking at the positive, Traiman recognizes the current war as an opportunity to repair the false concepts which will enable Israel to emerge stronger and smarter.

TFJ: The Birth of Israel Series 2: Episode 8 It is unlikely that had FDR been the president that he would have recognized Israel. Truman was the first to recognize the Jewish State 11 minutes after her independence had been declared. There are two primary reasons as to why Truman contradicted his State department on this thorny issue, but there is no dispute that were it not for quick-witted and loyal Eddie Jacobson, it would not have happened.

At a Time that Every Jew in Europe faced Certain Death, the British Refused Entrance into Palestine
At a Time that Every Jew in Europe faced Certain Death, the British Refused Entrance into Palestine
Nov 17, 2021
24:56
TFJ Series 1 Episode 37 - The Birth of Israel When the British refused to allow 10,000 Jewish children to escape Europe and come to Palestine, it could not be that that they did not understand that barring their entry meant subjecting them to their annihilation. Images from Kristallnacht had been broadcast across worldwide media. And still Britain issued the White Paper agreeing to all of the Arab demands meaning that there would be no haven in Palestine for Jews fleeing for their lives and that the home for the Jews promised in the Balfour Declaration could not be realized. TFJ examines the plight of three doomed ships from this period which vividly highlight that Jews had nowhere in the world to escape to and the establishment of a Jewish state was a matter of life and death. As the British were unconcerned about this reality, Palestinian Jewry, most notably the Haganah, the precursor of the Israel Defence Forces, worked to smuggle in what the British deemed illegal immigrants. If they were caught, the British, ironically, like the Nazis, placed them in camps behind barbed wire.

Professor Alan Dershowitz writes that the controversial battle in the Deir Yassin suburb of Jerusalem in 1948, “Stands out in the history of Arab-Jewish conflict in Palestine precisely because it was so unusual and out of character of the Jews.” Arab armies massacred Jewish civilians avoiding any Jewish refugee problem. The Israelis did not kill Arab combatants, resulting in a burgeoning refugee problem. Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!

Israel’s War for Independence resulted in three distinct refugee problems. The largest group of refugees were Jews who were forced out of their homes and threatened with severe violence and pogroms in the Arab and North African lands where they had lived for centuries. They received haven in Israel where they were welcomed by their brethren and were never referred to as “Refugees.” The Arabs did not welcome their refugee brethren and shunted them in refugee camps – where they have remained ever since.

Napoleon Convened the Sanhedrin and Destroyed Jewish National Hope

23:51
TFJ: Series 1 Episode 24: Special Episode: The Birth of Israel After the French Revolution there was a sense that the quest for liberty, egalitarianism and brotherhood were attainable, just like after the American revolution there was a sense that the pursuit of happiness was an attainable goal. Borders were changing, maybe even human nature was changing. Maybe, maybe there was even hope that a Jewish state could be restored. To enlarge his empire and further secure his personal record in history, Napoleon traveled with his army to Egypt. And even though he was routed by the British in the Battle of the Nile, this did not dampen his visions of grandeur and he decided to invade Palestine. After some initial successful battles, basing himself on a sense of overconfidence and being undefeatable, he granted the Jews freedom to their own land and signed his proclamation from his headquarters in Jerusalem that he had not yet captured and never would. He gave the Jews hope for their homeland, and then dashed it when it turned out to be a promise that he could never deliver. His second blow was even more devastating: in 1791 France declared all men to be equal, even Jews. Napoleon and the French people, then had second thoughts. They had given the Jews equal rights too cheaply. For the Jews to be awarded the status of equality they would have to swear that they were Frenchman with loyalties exclusively to fellow Frenchmen, not fellow Jews, with no national aspirations for the Land of Israel. This affirmation was to be sanctioned by the Sanhedrin which had been defunct for 13 centuries. Any observer viewing matters in 1807 would have concluded that the idea of Jews returning to the Land of Israel was over for good. History had the last laugh.

Newly declared prime minister David Ben Gurion said that if Israel can hold out for the first two weeks of battle (in the War for Independence) than “we will win.” Those first two weeks proved to be the bloodiest of all, but with her back against the wall, Israel prevailed in repelling attacks, enlarging its borders and freeing all but the Old City of Jerusalem which had been under siege.

TFJ Season 6 Episode 1 Aftermath of Sinai Campaign 1956
Feb 25, 2026
21:20
Israel's lighting campaign in the Sinai in 1956 resulted in a routing of the Egyptian forces and capture of the entire Sinai Peninsula in less than 100 hours. The threat of Egypt deploying its brand-new military hardware from the Soviet Union had been averted. But in a fluke of history, President Eisenhower, instead of siding with his natural allies, Britain, France and Israel, sided with the Soviet Union and Nasser's Egypt and demanded immediate Israeli withdrawal in return for nothing – or else! Eventually Israel received guarantees of right of passage through the Staits of Tiran and that the United Nations Expeditionary Force would be stationed in Gaza to prevent the penetration of Fedayeen terrorists into Israel. Israel's case against the unaccommodating Eisenhower administration, most notably Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, was assisted by Lyndon Johnson, Democratic leader in the Senate, and members of the press and Congress who were friends of Israel. The United States was employing a painful double standard by not doing anything as Hungarian protestors demanded freedom from Soviet oppression, and were murdered wholesale for their dissidence; yet the United States demanded with the threat of immediate sanctions, that Israel, which had gone to war for legitimate grievances, immediately withdraw from the entire Sinai. Israel gained from the battle a decade of quiet which was so necessary to build the State, and in the process demonstrated that the Middle East had a new military power.

The mouth and eyes each represent a different aspect of the decision making process; and how they need to work together to reach the truth.

After Israel's stunning and unpredictable victory (especially from the Arab perspective) in the War of Independence, there was a colossus of bruised pride in the Arab World. To answer the heretofore imponderable, "How could Israel have been victorious?" a narrative emerged, "We did not lose because Israel was strong, but rather because our leaders were weak." The search began for strong military men who could restore Arab dignity, and the undisputed rising star was Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. Nasser was a pan-Arabist who maintained that Arabs were born for greatness and should have had one of the most enduring empires, had they not been victims of colonialism. A Soviet shift in the 1950s pushed them from allies of Israel to adversaries. President Eisenhower, with the very strong support of his Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, decided to be stronger aligned with the Arab side in the conflict.

When the second truce in Israel’s War of Independence went into effect on July 18, 1948, Israel was militarily in a far better position than it had been at the outbreak of the War. Still, work was still very much cut out for the nascent IDF as Egyptian forces had pressed so deep into the Negev that they were able to menace the key artery linking Tel Aviv to the southern towns and Jewish settlements. Israel’s innovative, young commander of the Negev campaign was Yigal Allon. In order to break the Egyptian hold, he would have to get his troops to the south undetected. Allon’s soldiers discovered an ancient route built by the Romans 2000 years earlier, known as the Ruheiba Trail. The Egyptians logically expected an Israeli assault from the conventional route and were totally unprepared for an enemy that materialized out of nowhere from a trail that was concealed and provided natural cover.

TFJ Season 4 Episode 11 Palestinian Refugees Myth and Fact
TFJ Season 4 Episode 11 Palestinian Refugees Myth and Fact
Aug 7, 2024
27:17
In the dialogues of today categories must be delineated so that they conform with: Critical Theory, Intersectionality and Identity Politics. What they all share in common is portraying Israel as the “Oppressor” or “Victimizer” and the Palestinians as the “Oppressed” or “Victims.” This emanates from the claim that with the creation of the State of Israel one million (which is mathematically impossible) Palestinian refugees were created. In the annals of history there have never been fourth generation refugees, but the Palestinians, and Arab countries, and – as this episode will expose – the United Nations Relief Agency UNRWA has a distinct agenda in promoting this narrative. TFJ is happy to set the record straight. Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!
