I'm Jonathan Sacerdoti

Britain has been infiltrated, the Muslim Brotherhood's quiet takeover is already underway, and the West is listening to the wrong Muslims.

Rauda Altenaiji and Ahmed Sharif Al Ameri are part of a new wave of Emirati voices speaking out, proudly and publicly, in defence of the Abraham Accords and the world's only Jewish state. They feel safer walking through Dubai at 4am than London at 8pm, and their leadership has stopped sending students to British universities for fear they'll be radicalised.

But beneath the warning are harder questions. The UAE enforces its famous tolerance through...

Is Trump's deal with Iran worse than Obama's JCPOA? Dan Schueftan tells Jonathan Sacerdoti how it emboldens every Iranian proxy from Hezbollah to the Houthis, and leaves Israel in one of the most precarious positions in its history.

Both sides are claiming victory. But beneath those claims are harder questions. Has Iran been given a free pass to rearm? Has Israel lost the cover it needed to act? What does this mean for the Gulf states, for Lebanon, for the Iranian people desperate to be rid of their regime — and for the West's credibility as a civilisation wi...

Connie Shaw went on LBC at 8am to defend free speech on Islam — and was publicly called a racist before the interview ended. She had already been suspended from her university radio committee and faced potential expulsion for writing about trans ideology on campus. She used to be woke herself.

Across universities, newsrooms, and public platforms in Britain, a pattern keeps repeating: point to Islamic extremism, question trans ideology, or defend Western identity — and the response is not debate but accusation...

Ashley Rindsberg has uncovered how a small group of powerful online actors can twist the facts we trust, reshape public reality at global scale, and quietly influence what millions of people believe they know.

Search engines, encyclopaedias, artificial intelligence models and social platforms now form the infrastructure of public knowledge. They shape what citizens believe, what institutions repeat, what journalists trust, and what political actors can smuggle into respectable discourse. The deepest battles of the internet age are fought through language, sourcing, rankings, edits and definitions. This is a full scale battle for your mind.

Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Bellamy Bellucci, a South African-born, American trans-woman who converted to Judaism and now lives between worlds that rarely tolerate one another. Bellamy's identity is often challenged and questions by the very groups that you might expected to affirm it.

Public language increasingly celebrates identity while losing any stable account of meaning. Categories multiply, recognition becomes currency, and institutions struggle to distinguish between self-description and truth. In that confusion, questions that once belonged to philosophy or theology now play out through politics, culture, and personal testimony.

This Yom Hashoah special episode features Holocaust survivor Martin Stern, who shares his story and reflects on his fears for the world today.

Martin Stern survived arrest, deportation, and life in camps as a young child, his survival dependent on individuals who chose courage over conformity at moments of real danger. His life since has been shaped by that experience, through decades of reflection and education, including his work teaching younger generations about the Holocaust and other genocides.

In this challenging conversation, Martin It examines how ordinary people come to adopt ideas they have not...

The language of international law is being stretched to breaking point. Terms once defined with precision are now deployed as instruments of moral accusation, detached from the evidentiary standards that once gave them force. In that shift, something deeper is revealed about the condition of Western institutions. Authority no longer rests securely on method, but on consensus, amplification, and the emotional force of accusation. What presents itself as a defence of human rights increasingly operates through blurred definitions, institutional capture, and self-reinforcing narratives. The result is a system that struggles to distinguish between war, crime, and rhetoric, while insisting...

Does God exist, and can we prove it?Donate to support these interviews.There is a growing assumption in modern Western life that science has settled the question of God. That belief rests less on settled knowledge than on cultural habit, reinforced over generations of intellectual fashion and institutional authority. What once presented itself as liberation from superstition has, in many cases, hardened into a new orthodoxy, one that treats materialism as neutral and belief as deviation.Yet the scientific story itself has not remained static. Developments in cosmology, physics, and biology have introduced new tensions into that confidence...

Suleiman Maswadeh is Israel’s most visible Palestinian Arab television correspondent, a regular presence on the national news, speaking fluent Hebrew to a country that rarely hears an Arab accent in that role. His career sits inside one of Israel’s deepest contradictions, two communities living side by side, sharing streets and history, yet separated by language, schooling, and fear, with the public story of the conflict often shaped by the absence of ordinary contact.

Jonathan Sacerdoti meets Suleiman Maswadeh in person to trace how a Palestinian Arab man raised in a...

Major General Yaakov Amidror argues that wars in the Middle East are never truly concluded. They are managed, suppressed, and deferred. Born on the day Israel declared independence and shaped by decades at the heart of its security establishment, he views October 7 not as an aberration but as the cost of strategic hesitation. The dismantling of Iran’s crescent, the degradation of Hamas, and the weakening of Hezbollah mark a significant shift in Israel’s position. None of it is final. Each front remains unfinished. Each...

Benny Sabti, senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, joins me at a moment of acute strain for the Islamic Republic. He argues that Tehran’s diplomatic posture follows a familiar pattern: delay, repackage old positions, concede nothing essential, preserve enrichment capability and the infrastructure of coercion. This time, Washington appears less willing to indulge the ritual, framing negotiations as a final test before more forceful options are considered.Are the renewed student protests, including at the Sharif University of Technology, a sign of genuine internal fracture or another up...

Julia Hartley-Brewer is one of the most outspoken voices in British broadcasting. In this conversation she defends Israel with unapologetic force, describing her recent visit as life changing and arguing that after October 7 the country acted with remarkable restraint under existential threat. She says Britain and America would have responded far more ruthlessly.
But this discussion goes far beyond Israel.
She explains why she would now have voted for Donald Trump, why she believes lockdown was a historic political and moral failure, and why trust in government, science and the BBC has been permanently damaged. She argues...

Jonathan Sacerdoti travels into the Gaza Strip, embedding with the IDF along the new front line that now divides the territory.

Months into the Trump brokered ceasefire, Israel holds 58 per cent of Gaza behind what they call the 'yellow line'. Hamas remains in control of the rest and declares it will not disarm. Sniper fire, tunnel discoveries and daily ceasefire violations continue, even as aid enters through Israeli controlled crossings.

From fortified positions overlooking the central refugee camps to staging areas where humanitarian supplies are transferred, this on the ground report examines how Israel is...

When NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani referenced Islamic teachings and invoked the Hijrah in his speech at a multi-faith event, was he offering a message of spiritual resilience — or signalling something more political?

In this conversation, Prof Mordechai Kedar unpacks what that reference really means, explaining how Hijrah is not simply a story of exile and refuge, marking the transition from marginalisation to sovereignty, from preaching to governing. We explore how a modern political leader drawing directly on that narrative deserves our urgent at...

Iran’s regime is relying on executions, foreign fighters and extreme repression to survive.

In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Dr Tamar Eilam Gindin, a specialist in Iranian language, culture and political mythology, about what she is seeing emerge inside the Islamic Republic. Drawing on reports and her own sources from within Iran, she explains how executions surged in the months that followed the 12 Day War, how protests were crushed using non-Iranian forces, and why these tactics point to a system under enormous strain.

Dr Gindin describes how funerals have turned into protests, why mo...

What happens next in Iran? Will the United States strike, and if so, when? Will Israel be drawn in again, or deliberately held back this time? Will Britain take part, or remain confined to a defensive role?

What would the targets actually be – nuclear facilities, missile infrastructure, or the leadership itself? And if the regime is hit hard enough to fall, who takes over? If it survives, what then?

These questions sit at the centre of the Middle East right now. Military forces are already deployed. Diplomatic pressure is intensifying. The margin for miscalculation is sh...

Britain’s justice system is facing a profound rupture. Under the banner of efficiency and backlog reduction, reforms are being proposed that would remove large numbers of cases from jury trial, weaken appeal rights, and concentrate decision making power in the hands of the state. These changes touch principles that have defined British liberty for centuries and raise fundamental questions about our justice and democracy, and who they ultimately serve.

In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks to veteran criminal defence barrister Jeremy Dein KC, whose decades at the heart of the courts give him a rare vantage po...

Donald Trump’s lawyer went on the record and said it plainly: Britain’s Jews need protection. They need somewhere to flee. He's urging the US President to let them come to America.

When The Telegraph put the proposal on its front page, it was no longer a hypothetical concern whispered in private, but a public warning, issued at national level, about the condition of Britain itself.

In this frank and unsettling conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Robert Garson, the Manchester-born barrister and US attorney who is close to Donald Trump, about why he believes the...

For nearly half a century the Islamic Republic has ruled Iran through fear, censorship and organised cruelty. It has crushed dissent at home while exporting terrorism abroad, and it has relied on a simple calculation: that the world would look away while its own people suffered in silence.

Today that calculation is collapsing.

Across Iran, ordinary men and women are rising against a regime that has impoverished them, humiliated them and treated their lives as disposable. They are marching in the streets knowing they may never return home. And for the first time in decades...

Europe’s relationship with Israel has never been simple. It is shaped by history soaked in blood, by moral claims born from catastrophe, and by institutions that insist on speaking in the language of values while acting through interest. In the aftermath of October 7, those tensions have hardened, exposing fractures between governments and peoples, ideology and reality, rhetoric and reliance.

As Europe’s political centre shifts and its demographics change, Israel finds itself simultaneously condemned in public and depended upon in practice. Accusations of antisemitism collide with strategic cooperation. Recognition of Palestinian statehood sits unea...

Fleur Hassan Nahum has worked at the sharp end of politics, media and national crisis. As a former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem and Special Envoy for Innovation, she has dealt directly with international leaders, hostile broadcasters and the pressures that follow war into every public space.

In this conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she lifts the lid to reveal the real workings of media and politics, drawing on her own personal experience. She reflects on her repeated appearances on Piers Morgan Uncensored and explains why she became increasingly critical of the programme, and the man. She describes...

Condemned by mobs on the streets of the West, denounced by governments across Europe and beyond, and vilified by the United Nations and its satellite institutions, Israel might nevertheless be in a stronger strategic position than at any point in its history.

Two years after October 7th, Israel’s international standing has deteriorated even as its regional power has expanded. What appears in Western capitals as isolation and moral failure is understood very differently in the Middle East, where strength is measured not by approval but by the capacity to act, to endure condemnation, and to defeat en...

For years, British public life told itself a comforting lie: that tolerance meant silence, that compassion meant compliance, and that asking hard questions was somehow immoral. Josh Howie no longer believes that story.

In this uncompromising conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Howie explains how comedy, journalism and politics were quietly captured by fear. Not fear of violence, but fear of social punishment: being labelled, deplatformed, or cast out for stating obvious truths.

Now host of Free Speech Nation on GB News, Howie describes how institutions surrendered their authority through cowardice rather than coercion. He traces how...

For more than half a century, Professor Mordechai Kedar has studied Arabic language, Islamic texts and Middle Eastern political culture from the inside. A former Israeli military intelligence officer and one of Israel’s most seasoned experts on Arab society, he has spent decades listening to what the region says in its own words, not through Western translations or assumptions.

In this far reaching conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Kedar argues that the West’s greatest failure is not moral but interpretive. Immigration, Islam and integration, he says, are routinely analysed through liberal democratic frameworks that...

A filmmaker set out to document the fallout of October seventh. Instead, she uncovered something far larger and far darker: a coordinated ideological capture of Western institutions, a foreign-funded corrosion of democratic values, and a generation primed to cheer for extremists before the bodies in Israel had even been counted. Wendy Sachs joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for a stark, unflinching look at how the world lost its bearings on October eighth, and why the shockwaves are still reshaping global politics today.

Sachs traces the journey from campus slogans to international propaganda machines: the sudden mobilisation...

David Collier joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for one of his clearest and most wide-ranging conversations yet about Britain, the media, extremism and the pressures reshaping public life. Drawing on years of undercover work inside activist movements, online networks and university groups, Collier explains what he has seen from the inside — and why he believes the country is struggling to understand the forces acting on it.

Collier didn’t set out to become an investigator. His career began in Israel, before returning to a Britain he barely recognised. That shock pushed him to look more closely: into anti-Israel activism, into...

A landmark tribunal has ruled that Islam critical beliefs are protected under the Equality Act, and the man at the centre of that historic decision, Patrick Lee, sits down with Jonathan Sacerdoti for his first full, unfiltered interview since the judgment shook Britain’s institutions.

Patrick Lee is an actuary who never sought public attention, yet found himself monitored, censured and threatened by his own professional body for simply quoting Islamic scripture and raising concerns about extremism, women’s rights and child protection. His case exposed a troubling truth: Britain has become far more comfortable policing offence than...

The BBC is facing its biggest crisis in decades — but the scandal isn’t just about two resignations. It’s about years of skewed reporting, buried corrections, and a newsroom culture that has normalised bias while persuading the public that it stands for impartial truth.

In this revealing conversation, Hadar Sela, co-editor of CAMERA UK and one of the most meticulous analysts of BBC coverage anywhere, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti to peel back the layers of structural failure inside the BBC: the habits, blind spots, and editorial decisions that have shaped public perception of Israel, terror...

The most powerful images in today’s pro-Palestinian campaigns aren’t new — they’re borrowed from Christianity. From the Madonna and Child to David and Goliath, centuries-old sacred symbols have been re-cast to portray Palestinians as modern saints and martyrs, reshaping Western sympathy through religious familiarity.

In this gripping conversation, Professor Miri Rubin (Queen Mary University of London), one of Britain’s leading medieval historians, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti to expose how the emotional grammar of Christian art has been weaponised for political ends — and how its echoes are visible everywhere from social media to pop culture...

Michael Gove, former Cabinet Minister and one of Britain’s most articulate conservative thinkers, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for an unflinching conversation about the perilous state of Britain — a nation he says is “desperate” and in danger of moral collapse.

From Islamist extremism on British streets to the cowardice of the political class, Gove warns that antisemitism is not a Jewish problem but a British sickness — a sign that the West has lost its faith, its confidence, and its sense of right and wrong.

He argues that Islamism, like Nazism and Marxis...

When Israel agreed to release hundreds of convicted terrorists in exchange for its hostages, Tal Hartuv discovered that one of them was the man who stabbed her 18 times and murdered her friend.

In this deeply moving and unsparing conversation, Tal speaks to Jonathan Sacerdoti from Jerusalem, describing the impossible emotions of watching her attacker walk free — anger and disbelief mixed with relief that Israeli hostages are finally coming home.

She reflects on her survival, on the moral price Israel is being forced to pay, and on the West’s comp...

This is Tommy Robinson as you’ve never seen him before.

In his most intimate and revealing conversation yet, Britain’s most controversial activist sits down with journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti, who asks the tough questions — about violence, Islam, Israel, fear, family, and the future of Britain.

Branded a far-right extremist by his critics and a free speech champion by his supporters, Tommy Robinson (born Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) reflects on the chaos, the pain, and the conviction that have defined his life — from founding the English Defence League to surviving solitary confinement, therapy, and relentless media attacks.As he ac...

Kellie-Jay Keen — known globally as Posie Parker — is the women’s rights campaigner behind the “adult human female” billboard and the viral call for women to “Free your face” from the niqab. In this fearless conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she challenges Britain’s cultural taboos: from niqab and who gets to wave a flag, to 'grooming-gang' euphemisms, transgender ideology, surrogacy, and the fragile social contract that used to hold public life together.

Speaking with blunt clarity and lived intensity, she recalls being mobbed in New Zealand, touring the US and Australia under threat, and why she keeps going: because w...

Yasmine Mohammed is a Canadian human rights activist and author of "Unveiled". She escaped a forced marriage to an al-Qaeda member and now campaigns against Islamism’s grip on women and the West. In this raw and fearless conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she dismantles the illusion of “moderate Islam”, exposes the dangers of Western appeasement, and warns that what happened on October 7th is only the beginning.

From honour killings and forced veiling to Islam’s political takeover of Western institutions, Yasmin shows how the West’s silence, naivety, and suicidal empathy are fuelling the very f...

Ruth Wasserman Lande is a former Israeli Knesset member, diplomat, intelligence expert, and Arabist — and she has a stark warning for Britain. Fresh from her viral Channel 4 interview, she tells Jonathan Sacerdoti why Western media is complicit in whitewashing extremism, how Qatar bankrolls the Muslim Brotherhood’s PR machine, and why the West is blind to the religious war already unfolding.

Drawing on her years in intelligence, her study of Islam, and her political career, Ruth explains why October 7th shattered illusions not just for Israelis but for anyone in the West who still thin...

Rafe Heydel-Mankoo is a British historian, political commentator, and cultural critic warning that the revolution in Britain has already happened — just not the kind we notice. In this urgent, unflinching conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, he lays bare the institutional capture of Britain, the alliance between the radical left and political Islam, and the future we’re too afraid to confront.

From mass immigration and demographic change to Sharia patrols, so-called 'grooming gangs', and the erosion of free speech, Rafe argues the UK is on the brink of civil unrest, and the state knows it. He e...

Dr Qanta Ahmed is a British-born Muslim physician, a fierce critic of Islamism, and a global voice for truth in the face of jihadist denial. In this wide-ranging and courageous conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she dismantles the lies of the Muslim Brotherhood, exposes the ideological roots of 7 October, and warns how Western weakness is emboldening radical Islam.

Speaking from Israel—her 18th visit—Dr Ahmed recounts witnessing 9/11 from Saudi Arabia, treating victims of ISIS and and 9/11, examining the aftermath of Hamas atrocities, and confronting the Islamist infiltration of Western democracies. With the calm precision of a...

Colonel Richard Kemp is a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, counterterrorism expert, and outspoken defender of Israel. In this gripping and unapologetic conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Kemp tears through the lies surrounding Gaza, the two-state delusion, and Britain’s moral failure in the face of jihadist threats.

From London to Jerusalem, Kemp draws on decades of military and intelligence experience to explain how anti-Israel propaganda has infected the media, politics, and even the armed forces. He exposes the cowardice of Western leaders, the silence of the BBC, and the dangerous electoral calculations fu...

Khalifa Khalifa is an Israeli Druze activist, veteran of Israel’s Special Forces, and outspoken voice for his embattled community. In this urgent and emotional conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Khalifa reveals the full horror of the jihadi onslaught currently engulfing Syria’s Druze population—massacres, beheadings, forced conversions, and hospital executions—while the world looks away.

As jihadist forces loyal to Syria’s new regime wage a genocidal war in Sweida, Khalifa offers a firsthand account of what’s happening on the ground—and calls for moral clarity, Western courage, and immediate action. This is a cry for help, and...

Rabbi Joseph Dweck has spent over a decade as Senior Rabbi of Britain’s oldest Jewish community. Now, as he prepares to leave the UK and move to Israel, he joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for an unflinching conversation about antisemitism, extremism, identity, and the moral decline of Western civilisation.

In this moving and courageous interview, Rabbi Dweck reflects on his years in Britain, the backlash he faced for challenging orthodox norms, and the deep dangers he sees in a society that has lost confidence in itself. From Islamist threats to cultural appeasement, from Jewish pride to...
