PREMIERE: HOW THE ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES SAVE LIVES, ISRAEL OUTSIDE-IN!

Join me on Israel Outside-In as I take you on a journey to experience the sites, sounds and tastes of Israel as we meet with leading personalities from the one and only Jewish State.

In this episode of the show, I tour the Druze village of Horfesh in northern Israel, sit down to interview the former Surgeon General Of The IDF, Brigadier-General (Res.), Professor Tarif Bader.

In this fascinating discussion, General Bader tells me about his commanding roles in the aid and rescue missions launched by the IDF to treat victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti (2010) and Nepal (2015), where he oversaw the establishment of an emergency field hospital in both countries.

He also tells me about his treatment of Syrian refugees who fled the Syrian civil war into Israel and how they were treated, repatriated and saved by the IDF medical corps and the Israeli defense establishment.

General Bader also tells me about life as a member of the Druze community in Israel, his principles for good leadership and his commitment to making a positive difference in this world.

In this episode, MirYam Institute In-House Analyst, Yaakov Lappin, is joined by Col. (res.) David Hacham, former Arab Affairs Advisor to multiple Israeli Defense Ministers, to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip.

EPISODE 1 PART 1: OCTOBER 7TH SURVIVOR, AMIR TIBON, BRINGS US INTO THE FAMILY HOME ATTACKED BY HAMAS

In this episode of the show, recorded in March, 2024, Amir Tibon, survivor of the Hamas massacre, brings me into his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz. 

This bullet-riddled house, recently built by him and his wife Miri, was the place they hoped to raise their two young daughters. 

On October 7th, Hamas terrorists stormed into the kibbutz and fired automatic gunfire into his home, as his entire family hid inside the family safe room.

In this first segment of my conversation with Amir, he tells me how he and Miri made the decision to move from Tel Aviv and to build a life in Nahal Oz.

He outlines what the atmosphere was like before October 7th and how the nightmare of that awful day began to unfold, as he feverishly contacted his colleagues and his father, desperately seeking to be rescued from an impossibly dangerous situation.

PODCAST: ON STRATEGY: BUILD YOUR HOUSE WITH A STRONG FOUNDATION

Standing in for me this week is The Miryam Institute’s in-house analyst Yaakov Lappin.

Going solo, he responds to various critiques of Israel's war effort, and argues that those who don't prioritize the need to remove terror armies from Israel's borders are advocating for future disaster.

He then explains how non-miliary, strategic benefits only belong to powers that have demonstrated their willingness to defend their core interests first.

Toward the end of the loscast, he discusses why drones remain a persistent threat, the arms race underway to mitigate that.

Finally, Yaakov expressed why building a sukkah this year is an act of Jewish resistance against Hamas's jihad.

PODCAST: OCTOBER 7TH: A TRAGIC YEAR HAS PASSED

In this episode, I sit down with Yaakov Lappin to discuss what has been an horrific year for Israel and the Jewish people. We did so from a deeply subdued Israel, a country still grappling with all that has befallen it over the past twelve months and which is still deeply embroiled in its response to the ongoing threats that started on October 7th.

In an effort to provide you with some unique and different perspectives, we assessed the ramifications of the following topics: 

1) The 1200 Israelis murdered on October 7th

2) The ongoing hostage crisis

3) The 300,000 soldiers drafted into service

4) The fissures in Israeli society

5) Israel's place among the nations

PODCAST: ISRAEL MUST RETALIATE AGAINST IRAN

ISRAEL MUST RETALIATE & TARGET IRAN'S NUCLEAR FACILITIES, THE IMPLICATIONS OF NASRALLAH'S ELIMINATION

In this episode, I'm joined by Yaakov Lappin to discuss the implications of the elimination of Hassan Nasrallah and how Israel ought to respond to the second ballistic missile attack from Iran.


We outline why it's time to hit Iran's nuclear program and their economy and explain why Israel's enemies have been allowed to trade on an unfounded schoolyard "rep" for far too long. 
We also close the show by reflecting on our thoughts for the coming year.

PODCAST: NO TO CEASEFIRE WITH HEZBOLLAH & BIBI AT THE UN

In this latest episode of The Benjamin Anthony Show, Yaakov Lappin joins me to discuss why a ceasefire between the Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah at this time would be catastrophic to Israel’s near and long term security and would leave far too many Israelis well within range for ongoing rocket and missile attacks from Iran’s terror proxy.

We also discuss Prime Minister Netahyahu’s upcoming speech at the UNGA and the vital importance of Israel’s PM having the use of ‘Zion’s Wing,’ Israel’s equivalent of Air Force One - a rather overdue and inexplicably controversial development for Israeli leaders.

PODCAST: U.S. Military Cadets Tour Nazi Death Camps In Poland

PODCAST: U.S. Military Cadets Tour Nazi Death Camps In Poland

Every year, The MirYam Institute brings delegations of current and future military officers to Poland and then directly on to Israel for a 12 day tour of the country through the I-SAP tour initiative (Israel Strategy & Policy).

This summer, The MirYam Institute created a delegation for future officers of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air-Force and Marine Corps to Poland, to visit the Nazi death camps, as well as the damage and destruction carried out against the Jews of Europe. 

This year, due to Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas, the I-SAP tour could not travel to Israel from Poland, so we brought the delegation for an extended tour of Poland and brought several Israeli speakers to the delegation, including the son of a hostage being held by Hamas and a civilian whose rapid response unit fought off an attack by eighty Hamas terrorists on October 7th.

Here, Colonel Dave (Ret.), explains why the I-SAP tour is of such value to the education and understanding of the delegates, as they prepare to become leaders and officers within the U.S. Armed Forces.
