TMI Show Ep 157: Re-run “Israel Is Dangerous to Jews.”

LIVE 10 AM Eastern time, Streaming Anytime:

Today, it’s a thought-provoking episode of “The TMI Show”! Political cartoonist and columnist Ted Rall brings his razor-sharp perspective to the forefront with his provocative thesis: Israel Is Dangerous for Jews. This isn’t just talk—this is a deep dive into a topic and longstanding assumptions that turn out to have been totally false. Rall tackles the long-held belief that Israel is the ultimate safe haven for Jewish people, armed with stark statistics: 1,755 Jewish people have died from hate crimes and terrorism in Israel during 2015-2024 (0.024% of its Jewish population) versus just 24 in the diaspora (0.0003%). That’s a 73-times higher risk, and even though the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack contributed, it’s still far more dangerous to be Jewish in Israel than anywhere else.

Ted challenges the narrative that pro-Palestinian activists want Jews to be killed if Israel dissolves, pointing to historical examples like Austria-Hungary’s dissolution without mass killings, and references Edward Said’s vision of a binational peace and a one-state solution. The controversy heats up as Rall questions U.S. support rooted in 1948 post-Holocaust logic, now strained by decades of conflict. Israel, it turns out, is making life worse for Jews.

Joined by co-host Manila Chan, this episode promises unfiltered insights into Zionist arguments, pro-Palestinian perspectives, and the messy reality of the Middle East. Whether you’re pro-Israel, pro-Palestine, or just here for the truth, this is must-see TV. Tune in, share your thoughts, and let’s get real about one of the world’s toughest issues.
