- We apologize for the earlier version which was cut short. This one had only a problem at the very end, as those of you who survive it in full will see.
After a number of off the record talks with high ranking sources in Israel, both Gadi and Mike are under the impression that the talks of larger goals are sincere. In that case we are probably witnessing a lull, no more, until President Trump takes office.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu's domestic enemies are going into overdrive, with two new surprising investigations: one against the chief of Israel's Prison Service, and one against the chief of Israel's Police in Judea and Samaria. The problem seems to be this: they did what Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, told them to.

The idiom ומעז יצא מתוק (“From the strong came sweetness”) originates from Shoftim 14:14, where Shimshon (Samson) poses a riddle inspired by his encounter with a lion whose carcass later housed a beehive. Symbolically, it expresses the idea that something good or sweet can emerge from adversity or strength, reflecting themes of transformation and divine providence. The phrase is often used to convey resilience, hope, and the unexpected blessings that arise from challenges, with significant application in Jewish thought to highlight moral and spiritual growth through trials.
An additional layer of fun fact is that the Hebrew word for strong, עז, its feminine form עזה is the same word for Gaza, and Samson fought the Philistines, whose strongholds were largely in/near Gaza.
Beautiful stuff guys 👍
Without a doubt one of the best 'shows' on the net... excellent.
under the circumstances
What an excellence podcast! Hey you're the best. Thank you Gadi & Mike. Look forward to more. 😊😊
Thanks again for the best available commentary Gadi and Mike. If Ben Gvir is a clown then our PM Albo is the clown of all clowns. Please be assured that the majority of Australians have had a gutful of our clown in chief (and his student Foreign Minister) and are looking forward to the restoration of our longstanding support for Israel. Love your work
Wonderful, elucidating discussion.
On the issue of Ben Gurion's call for a quick fight on e 44:09 nemy territory, I can't see how we could have done that given the thousands of underground bases of Hamas and the unkown locations of hostages.
The single most useful and sane podcast about Israel. Just phenomenal, I can't believe I have the pleasure and the privilege of listening to such conversations. Please keep it up
Really informative episode. Thank you!
Waiting for new podcast. It's Sunday in Westcoast canada. So much has happened since last podcast. As usual.
Thanks for reloading!
Mike, I just watched your wonderful interview with Gen Avivi.
The comments were switched off, but I had to tell you that I often think how the ayatollah must be feeling. And it brings a smile to my face as well 😄.
Great analysis by intelligent and sharp minds…
Some good insights. Three that stood out to me:
- A confirmation that military power is key.
- Israel remains overly reliant on the US.
- The Israeli PM must be a disagreeable personality.
When are you guys going to drop a new episode. I'm having withdrawals!
The show's motto of "as sane as possible under the circumstances" is proving to be a good one. The circumstances that we're in are indeed insane and this podcast really helps to makes some sense of it all. I still think of it as "a goy and a sabra are as sane as possible etc", though.
Wards w amenities . . . I am astounded by how good Gadi's English is . . . .
It’s incredibly impressive. So many Israelis speak English in such a perfectly Jewish way. In our lifetimes, Israeli English will become a dialect of high literature the way Indian English has.
@@gruweldaadyou know here in the US we already have “yeshivish English” which is almost a separate dialect spoken by a certain subset of Orthodox Jews here.
Hi Gadi. Lots of important stuff happening. Waiting hopefully to hear your new update. 12.12.24 in nz now 😊😊
GREAT job in untangling the impossible to untangle.

Judges 14:14 Samson's riddle to the Philistines
What does it mean? Thanks
@@uriurg9857And he said to them, "from the (man) eater, came out the food, and from the fierce, came out the sweet." It's Samson's riddle about him getting honey from a lion's carcass.
Where are you guys? its been 12 days since you posted a show. Hope you are both healthy and doing well. We miss you and look forward to your return.
Thank you for my weekly fix, gentlemen.
Between you and the content from IDSF, I feel informed enough to carry me through for another week.
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱
A debate between Mike and Dan about Erdoğan would be a real treat.
Ditto. Wouldn’t trust Turkey with lunch money though. Erdogan is a jihadi.
Gadi: Don't ever underestimate your enemy, and in Israel's case: multitude of enemies!
Thank you🎉
A very shallow comment..M.Doran's navy jacket, white shirt, and that blue/white striped tie..great look. And helps one to remain as sane as possible given the circumstances!
Gadi transitions when he is ready to transition. Mike does very well to manage through the Israeli style and finalise his comments. Kol hakavod; love this show.
THANKS !!!
I always have this triangle in my head:
Trudeau-Macron-Lapid
They remind me of each other
Whew… So relieved the Shabak didn’t grab you 🙏🏼😁😍
😂😂
The relief!
Michael Doron; "a decisive victory in a short time . . . take the fight to the enemy on the enemy's territory . . . ." the 6 Day War.
Here is the exact quote from Judges 14 of the Hebrew expression "מעז יצא מתוק" (Out of the eater came something to eat):
"And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness." (Judges 14:14, King James Version).
I think a it's time forinvestigatory series looking into the 40 acre compound housing the 15,000 employees at the US embassy in Lebanon... what they do?
About those two Chinese engineers caught in the Gaza tunnels last year and released under pressure by whom?... what they do?
Great stuff thank you
When are you doing a show for this week? Thanks
Ben Gvir shaking things up 👌
I stand behind him & Smotrich who was pressured to not shake up the PLO authority unfortunately.
The new father d' son-in-law is of massive concern, Pollard brought up his sketchy connections along with his new position under djt no good
1. Blowing his nose on camera, humanizes Mike. :)))
2. While Ayelet Shaked was the state attorney, I wrote her an open letter informing her of the impact the current policies regarding incarceration had on me, as someone who volunteered during the so-called "Second Intifada." I specifically highlighted the case of Ari Fuld, his killer, and these policies. To wit: Ari's body lies where we all know, while his killer drinks coffee, sleeps on a mattress with a pillow, eats three meals a day, and enjoys the companionship of fellow detainees. As we know, Ari volunteered and as a consequence sacrificed his life. Who, even in their half-right mind, would volunteer again under such a scenario? I gave the letter to the then-consul general in NYC, who promised he'd deliver it to her, but I doubt he did. Just saying.
Mike, Gadi - you both seem optimistic about the Lebanon ceasefire. Would you consider having Tony Badran on your show? His recent article in Tablet (Obama Plays a Dead Man’s Hand in Lebanon, and Wins - Rising up from his political grave, the ex-president cements a U.S. partnership with Iran in Lebanon while Israel meekly gives up its gains) captures his and Liel Lebowitz's views that it's a terrible, horrible ceasefire that Obama orchestrated similar to December 2016 UN Resolution 2334. Thoughts?
I think that your common assessment of the current panic of the Left is 'spot on'... I am more inclined than you to believe that it could actually go as far as bloodshed... I am surprised at Mike's cynicism of Ben Gvir.. the results of his policy making is speaking for itself....
Gadi, Mike where are you?
Indeed מעז יצא מתוק , "from the fierce came out the sweet" is from the Book of Judges called Séfer Shofetim in Hebrew
The saying מעז יצא מתוק Originated from Samson stories in the bible. Samson killed a lion (with his bare hands, duh) and later found bees had made a hive in the carcass. He continued and made an obscure riddle based on this, which in English goes something like:
Out of the eater, something to eat;
out of the strong, something sweet
The Hebrew original is: מֵהָאֹכֵל יָצָא מַאֲכָל וּמֵעַז יָצָא מָתוֹק
And the English translation goes: Out of the eater came something to eat.
Out of the strong came something sweet.
The best podcast everrr 🇮🇱🇺🇸💙
Democracy? Listen to Mike Benz!
C'mon! It's unfair! You can't just disappear off the face of the earth! Why not just say in your previous episode that you will be back on date X? The suspense is killing us!
Pronouncing Turkey in Turkish when speaking English is plain stupid, sorry. Would he also say Rzeczpospolita Polska instead of Poland? It would be hilarious.
I like to use other names sometimes for effect. I very much enjoy calling Egypt Mitzrayim because the meaning in Hebrew is so powerful: “the narrows”.
You missed the point. He's too subtle for you.
Not stupid; humorous.
I think it'd be stupid if he referred to it in Hebrew as תרנגול הודו! (And you call yourself the voice of reason?)
Tail wind.
The idiom at 34:15 translates to “make lemons into lemonade”
Thank you both❤
Gadi's biblical reference: Judges 14:12-20
אפשר לתרגם את הביטי ״מעז יצא מתוק״ ל: from the lemons we mad lemonade
זו גם צורה של לקחת משהו חמוץ, ולעשות ממנו משהו מתוק
The land belongs to Israel given to them by Father God!
out of the strong comes sweetness , Judges 14:11
Too bad Israel Update was cut short this week.
Could you explore the competing views on Syria? While I like your optimism about Erdogan, it is hard to embrace. Trying to stay as sane as possible...
Syria seems to be a 3-way showdown between Shia and Sunni Islam with relatively pro-democratic Kurds. The Sunni factions supported by Turkey seem to be less tolerant than the Shia regarding minority populations to an extent that makes the "moderate" Sunni gulf states blanch. The domestic issues influencing Turkey are clear, but Erdogan's rhetoric that gets heard in pro-Israel circles doesn't leave much room for rapprochement with Israel. Turkey has the appearance of a young power drunk on its own potential. While Iran, its regional competitor seems overextended and ready to be pushed back. Turkey's growth as a military power that produces its own hardware gives it a wider degree of latitude than it has had in the past. What is there to check Erdogan besides his age (70)? And who stands to succeed him? I understand that these geopolitical concerns for Israel may be 5-10 years out and a lot can change in that time.
Just before 9:00…

Shabak defeated again 😂
Not sure it will be easy to restart the war; it's not like Trump would be happy about more conflicts. What is infuriating is that Israel was prevented (by the current administration) from advancing more than a couple of miles into Lebanon, and the parties that benefitted most from its achievements were Islamists and Turkey.
Not “war” From now on we say “ Enforcing the ceasefire” FYI
מעז יצא מתוק זה a blessing in disguise
Financial center: how's the Syrian Pound been doing these past 10 years? In what currency do they transact? :-)
Turkey keeps poking the Russian bear. What do you think it will take to get the bear to invade Turkey, to the point of entering and occupying Constantinople/Istanbul?
From some things I’ve read, I would expect it in from 1-5 years from now; on the sooner side than the later.
I doubt a stronger military would have hastened the war effort by Israel in Gaza as long as civilian casualties were considered a deterrent to all out war.
Samson’s riddle. From the eater came something to eat, and from the strong came something sweet.
Mike can you pontificate on which of Ben Gvir’s policies you find circus worthy? I know he advocates for Jewish sovereignty over all of Judea and Samaria, desires judicial reform, and takes a strong stance on Arab terrorism. Other than publicly declaring your stance on a particular political figure, your thoughtful critique can serve to enlighten his voters. Otherwise… you risk sounding like another political pundit from the MSM which I’m guessing the average viewer here is running away from.
Ben Gvir: You can quote me: the problem with Ben Gvir is he still acts like he's an agent provocateur! :-)
The only problem with Ben Gvir is, he shows the leftists are autocratic traitors, while they try to stop the good he does.
AM YISRAEL CHAI BLUE SKY AND SEA!
תרגום לעברית פליזזז!!!
גלי בהרב מיארה התחרפנה גדי
Dr Doran is completely right about Turkey. Why isn't everyone else?
Get this Doran fool off of here; Gadi is fantastic and does need the clown show from Michael doran.
Both are very good and we are most grateful.
They are a great team, well matched.
The best English equivalent is probably 'a blessing in disguise'
