Ep 78 - The Muslim Brotherhood’s Plan: Infiltrate, Blend In, Replace
You know what scares me most? Not the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan — but how quietly it’s been unfolding while the West sleeps with its eyes open.Yeah. That’s the West right now. Sleeping. Daydreaming. And the alarm clock? It’s coming from the people who escaped the Muslim Brotherhood — not from think-tanks, not from politicians, but from insiders who lived it, suffered under it, and watched it swallow entire countries.Shalom everyone — I’m Igal, and this is Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes.Alright, let’s talk about the Muslim Brotherhood. Not the PR version, not the “community organization” version — the real one. #JewishPodcast #MiddleEast #Israel #Palestine #JewishHistory #AntiSemitism #Islam #Islamophobia #MuslimBrotherhood

Ep 77 - Finally: Criticising Islam Is Legal in Britain
You know those moments when you actually exhale and think, “Wow… someone in the system finally got it right”? Yeah — that’s me today. Because, for the first time ever, a British court just ruled that criticising Islam — calling it “backward,” “problematic,” even calling the Prophet Mohammed a “monster” — is legally protected speech.Protected. Not “hate speech.” Not “Islamophobia.” Protected under the Equality Act. And honestly, I didn’t think I’d live to see this day.Shalom everyone — I’m Igal, and this is Middle East in Less Than Five Minutes.And yes, today I’m smiling, because this ruling might just be the biggest win for free speech in years.#JewishPodcast #MiddleEast #Israel #Palestine #JewishHistory #AntiSemitism #Islam #Islamophobia #FreeSpeach

Ep 76 - The Refugee Myth That Won’t Die
Every time someone screams “Free Palestine,” they eventually bring up the Nakba.They’ll tell you about 750,000 Arabs “ethnically cleansed” by Jews in 1948 — families forced out, villages destroyed, tragedy eternal. Sounds very convincing. Emotional. And heartbreaking. Except… it’s not the full story. It’s a weaponized myth — and it’s been used for 75 years to paint Jews as villains and rewrite history.Shalom everyone, I’m Igal, and this is Middle East in Less Than Five Minutes.Let’s talk about the refugee story that the world refuses to fact-check — and why the truth still matters.#JewishPodcast #MiddleEast #Israel #Palestine #JewishHistory #AntiSemitism #Nakba #Refugees

Ep 75 - Mamdani's Legacy: From Suicide Bombers to NYC Politics - When Hate Runs for Mayor
New York might elect a mayor who says the NYPD’s “laces are tied by the IDF.”But this story didn’t start on a campaign stage — it started in a Columbia University lecture hall. Zohran Mamdani’s father once defended suicide bombers as “soldiers in a struggle.”Now his son calls Israel genocidal — and Barack Obama just offered to advise him.From academia to activism to City Hall, the same anti-Israel obsession is going mainstream.Let’s cut through the noise. In five minutes — the truth behind the Mamdani legacy.#JewishPodcast #MiddleEast #Israel #Palestine #JewishHistory #AntiSemitism #ZohranMamdani #Mamdani #NYCMayorRace

Ep 73 - Media Lies about Hamas Attacks
I’ll be honest with you. There are days I wake up, check the headlines, and wonder if I’m living in a parallel universe.
