This episode of the Elders of Zionism Podcast, Protocol 45, opens with Judah, Dr. Brian of London and Guy Goldstein on the IDF’s killing of the last terrorist tied to Shani Louk’s abduction (01:00), Guy on Israel’s long memory toward the October 7 perpetrators (03:36), and Brian on Netanyahu’s new preemption doctrine (04:25). Judah contrasts Louk’s story with Macklemore’s planned concert (05:46) and says October 7 is not over for Israelis (07:32). Guy describes the isolation of three years of global hostility (08:01), Brian pushes back with a case for Israeli confidence, economic growth and rising birth rates (11:41, 16:54, 18:27), and Judah separates sadness from victimhood (16:25). Brian explains how the wire services filter out good news from Israel (20:16), and the panel takes on Brad Lander’s West Bank olive harvest trip and the silence around a Knesset candidate stoned in the same town (22:46, 26:27). The talk then turns to Europe, with Brian on the Yes Minister view of immigration and welfare (28:38), Guy on the red-green alliance (32:09), and both of them on the Fabian Society, where Guy traces its eugenicist history and argues it inspired Hitler’s death camps (33:48, 37:05). Judah raises Ilhan Omar and Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed (40:20, 47:38), Guy walks through the allegations about Omar’s immigration history (41:56), Brian points to her father’s past (44:52), and Guy tells the story of Nazi hunting on Long Island (47:02). The show closes on voting, AIPAC and foreign money in American politics (51:01, 56:28), a detour into British sitcoms (58:04), and JD Vance’s decision not to endorse Netanyahu (1:02:43).
