Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh SzepsPREMIUM: “The Palestinian Delusion: the 'Right of Return' & the Mirage of Peace” with fmr Labor Knesset parliamentarian Einat WilfWhat if the problem for the Palestinian people was not Israel, but the encouragement by the international community of a fantasy that, one day, Palestinians will return to Israel proper? That’s the thesis of 'The War of Return’ by former Labor parliamentarian and foreign policy advisor to Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Einat Wilf. She opposes settlement-building but is otherwise a left-wing hawk. Wilf argues that the main reason why the conflict endures - and why Palestinians remain stateless - is the ongoing refusal by every Palestinian leader to accept that Israel is here to stay and ther...2025-06-2650 min

For the Love of ZionThe Lie That Broke the World: Einat Wilf on October 7, UNRWA, and the Death of PalestinianismFor years, Einat Wilf warned the world: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was never about borders.

It was about one thing—the refusal to accept a Jewish state in any part of the land.This week on For the Love of Zion, Joe and Shahaf sit down with one of Israel’s most fearless and brilliant voices to talk about everything the world got wrong—and what it will take to finally get it right.Dr. Wilf, a former Israeli lawmaker and author of The War of Return, ha...2025-04-2247 minWe Should All Be Zionists PodcastChapter 33 - The Gaza Protests Are About Ending IsraelIn 2018, Einat wrote an essay about the riots that were shaking the ground of the border between Israel and Gaza. Einat understood then that the unrest wasn't about just better living conditions -- they were an expression of the desire to "return" to Israel -- violently. Then, Blake Flayton joins for a conversation about Jewish/Palestinian appropriation in Yafo bookstores. 2025-04-2121 minWe Should All Be Zionists PodcastChapter 32 - Western States Fail to Understand the Palestinian Right of ReturnIn this episode, Einat discusses her topic of expertise: the Palestinian "right of return," which, as we have covered many times, is not a "right" enshrined anywhere in international law, nor would it be, for many people, a return. What do Western states not understand about this concept?

The Yoga of War Podcast: Fighting for Israel & The Jewish PeopleEinat Wilf | Two State Solution? | Israel-Hamas War | Conversation with Shana MeyersonThe war in the Middle East is now in its 15th month and everyone is searching for a territorial peace plan. But is there any ANY State Solution at all? To the anti-Zionists, the Jewish People do not deserve a state. A right granted to every other major religion on earth. To the Zionists, the Jewish People will do anything to live securely and safely in Israel, the world's only (and very tiny) Jewish State. It may be that the chasm between these two ideologies is too vast--at least now--to bridge. So, what...2024-12-231h 11We Should All Be Zionists PodcastChapter 30 - Rabin Would Not Have Brought Peace / The Killer of the Two - State SolutionIn this episode, in which two essays are read, Einat lays the myth to rest that Yitzhak Rabin's assassination derailed the peace process between the Israelis and Palestinians.

In order to make this a reality, Israel must invest resources not just in bringing Jews to Israel to stay, but to engage Diaspora Jews in all areas: education, culture, military, business, and more. 2024-06-3025 min

How does one combat a web of lies so well established and prolonged? How can it be possible that the entire world can be wrong and the Jews right? Perhaps we should take inspiration from Ahad Ha'am, who published his essay "Chatzi Nechama" in response to the medieval blood libel.

How My View GrewEinat Wilf: What Do Most Palestinians Actually Want?Do most Palestinians want their own state in the West Bank and Gaza, one that co-exists with the state of Israel?

Then she started to listen deeply to what Palestinians were saying, and what she heard stunned her. What Palestinians wanted was a land to themselves so they could return to the homes their families once...2024-05-291h 00We Should All Be Zionists PodcastChapter 21 - The Antisemitism MechanismIn this episode, Einat makes the ultimate case, in historical and sociological terms, for why anti-Zionism is antisemitism, originally presented in the opening of an Intelligence Squared debate in London. Unfortunately, in light of the anti-Israel protests that have rocked college campuses this spring, the piece is more important than ever. 2024-05-2843 minWe Should All Be Zionists PodcastChapter 20 - A Day For Atheist Rebels Taking Charge Of Their Own DestinyIn this episode, Einat makes the case that Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's Independence Day, is the one holiday specifically for atheist Zionists, those who founded the State of Israel by rebelling against traditional Jewish theology. Whereas other holidays have been subjected to nationalist re-interpretation in the Zionist context, such as Passover, Purim, and Hanukkah, Independence Day needed no such re-imagination. Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins the discussion to expand more upon the meaning of atheist Zionism, atheist Judaism, and the future of religion and state in Israel. 2024-05-1326 minWe Should All Be Zionists PodcastChapter 19 - Arab Success and NormalizationIn this chapter, Einat analyzes why the Arab world is perceived among the West to be an abject failure -- in governance, democracy, technology, sustainability, and more. But then, we shift to a model of Arab success: the Gulf states, who have recently normalized relations with Israel. The center of the Arab world, culturally, ideologically, and economically, has shifted away from Beirut and Damascus to Dubai. What does this mean for Israel and Jews around the world? Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins the conversation to discuss the Abraham Accords, liberalization in Muslim countries, and more. 2024-04-2926 minWe Should All Be Zionists PodcastChapter 18 - Israel's Final BorderIn this episode, Dr. Wilf makes the case for a crucial Israeli political decision: demarcating a final eastern border. This means officially designating who is in Israel, and who is out. But what does this mean for the presence of Israeli military over the green line? What does the mean for the Palestinians who live there? Columnist Blake Flayton then joins the conversation to discuss models of Israeli disengagement, accusations of apartheid toward Israel's presence in the West Bank, and the future of the settlement project. 2024-04-0434 minWe Should All Be Zionists PodcastChapter 17 - How Not To Think About the ConflictIn this episode, Dr. Wilf investigates how Americans, and many westerners, view the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: through the lens of western race relations, the Israelis as "white" and the Palestinians as "people of color," which may be thought of as a form of neo-colonialism. Or, maybe, "a Disneyland of hate." Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins the conversation to discuss how this ignorance came to develop amongst those who object to western constructs, and the symbolic power of good versus evil in thinking about the conflict. 2024-03-2133 min
Call Me Back - with Dan SenorThe Sobering of the Israeli Left - with Dr. Einat WilfSince October 7, we have heard from more and more friends in Israel who came of age -- politically -- in the 1990s.

What does nothing to encourage two states is maintaining embassies in Tel Aviv, a wonderful city, but decidedly not Israel's capital. Neither does it make sense to have consulates for the Palestinians in West Jerusalem, as the capital of Israel is not "neutral territory," as much as the United Nations would like to believe. Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins the conversation to question the claim that Jerusalem is "united" a...2024-03-1424 minWe Should All Be Zionists PodcastChapter 15 - Arguing Israel Contra BDSIn this episode, Einat interrogates the progressive hatred of Israel, and asks: is animosity toward Jews ever due to Jewish behavior? Or perhaps it is a reflection of the society itself -- and something failing in its internal structure. Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins the conversation to ask: how does one come to terms with this historical trend in the modern era, in the age of the State of Israel? 2024-03-0747 min
