QATAR AND DINOSAUR FOOTPRINTS

QATAR AND DINOSAUR FOOTPRINTS

Author: Yishai Fleisher December 26, 2025 Duration: 55:17

SEASON 2025 EPISODE 23:   First, Yishai speaks with Melanie Phillips, who delivers a sharp and unsettling analysis of Europe’s unraveling in the face of jihadist influx, elite denial, and cultural collapse — and what that trajectory means for Israel and the Jewish people. 

Yishai then shifts into a fireside reflection on the transformation from Jacob to Israel, tracing the biblical and sociological move from exile-thinking to Jewish political maturity and power. Jonathan Pollard follows with a hard-nosed assessment of Qatar’s role in Gaza, asking who enabled Hamas and who will ultimately be tasked with cleaning up Rafah. 

The episode closes on an unexpected note, as Ben Bresky explores newly uncovered dinosaur remains and the deeper mystery of prehistoric life in the Land of Israel — where even ancient bones have a story to tell.
