Richard Landes is a brilliant academic and a strident critic of the Western response to Islamic terror. He is the person who coined the term "Pallywood" for the many staged photos and videos that Palestinians use to push their agenda.
We had a wide-ranging conversation on Sunday, and we would probably still be talking now if we didn't have connection problems after 45 minutes.
It was lots of fun and I hope to continue the conversation at another time.
Incidentally, I fixed the URL for adding my YouTube channel to your podcast software. Here it is if you want to subscribe.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For 20 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
