Episode 184 — THE TRUTH ABOUT ISRAEL: What Americans Aren’t Being Told w/ Stephen Heiner

Show notes

Israel has just gone to the polls, Benjamin Netanyahu's political future hangs in the balance, and the consequences of America's military involvement alongside Israel against Iran continue to reverberate throughout the Middle East.

But how much do Americans REALLY understand about what's happening in Israel and Palestine?

On Episode 184 of The Backlash, Dave Reilly welcomes Stephen Heiner, a Traditional Catholic and founder of Palestine Bookshelf, a project dedicated to examining the history of Palestine, Zionism, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through books, documentaries, and historical research.

Unlike most American commentators, Stephen has personally traveled through the Holy Land, spoken with people living under the realities of the conflict, and witnessed conditions on the ground.

From the streets of Jerusalem and the West Bank to Washington's foreign policy establishment, we'll examine the events shaping the Middle East and ask some difficult questions about America's relationship with Israel.
