Passover is here, just days after the Israeli government suspended plans for judicial reform amid nationwide protests. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed for unity on the eve of Passover.
But that wasn't good enough for the left, which has continued protests and provocations. And the English-language Israeli press, which has moved left over the years, has followed right along.
The Times of Israel, edited by David Horovitz, seems to have lost its way. Horovitz compared Netanyahu to Pharaoh and has urged readers to see this Passover in the context of a fight against tyranny.
On the right, Caroline Glick has a more credible message, talking about how the long history of Passover should remind us that the Jewish People have endured far worse, as has Israel, and survived.
I would rather that Passover politics not become the Jewish version of Thanksgiving politics. Let the story of the Exodus guide us; its meaning is timeless and transcends the pettiness of current events.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
- John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor, on the upcoming jobs report
- Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the Kimmel fallout
- Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on the UN and Gaza talks
- Matisyahu - award-winning reggae artist, on his new album, "Ancient Child"
