What was life like for the Jews living in the Land of Israel when it was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire? Jews weren't allowed to build a synagogue, own a gun, or even ride a horse. Legal rights they were supposed to receive were only obtained through having to bribe Ottoman and Arab officials. Kidnappings, ransoms and thuggery were common. How did these Jews survive the injustice and brutalities? Lior Pasternak is an Israeli that lives in Japan. He is in the process of publishing a book that outlines all the Jewish history in the land of Israel in the last 3,000 years. He joins Tamar and gives us all a detailed picture of what life was like under Turkish/Ottoman rule.

Israel resides in a tough neighborhood, where strength is respected, and kindness and compromise are looked at as 'weakness'. Will Israel ever find peace, or at the very least, be able to throw off the yoke of constant appeasing in order to woo back insincere peace partners? These questions, and more, answered on this show. and .
Tamar asks the following question that many westerners want to know: Will burying terrorists with pig-parts really be a deterrent for terrorism? I.Q. Al Rassooli, a former Muslim, joins Tamar and answers.
Weekly guest, Shifra Hoffman, asks how the Prime Minister can agree to release convicted terrorist murderers from prison, just so Israel can woo Mahmoud Abbas back to the peace table.... for more futile talks?
Also, why is Netanyahu making concessions yet again to go for peace talks with an entity that shows only scorn for Israel? Will he release yet more terrorists and slam another building freeze on Jerusalem and its surrounding areas? Veteran member and group leader in the Likud Central Committee, Gidon Ariel, engages Tamar in an animated discussion on these topics.
Plus, the Egyptians and the Syrians are still fighting among themselves. Inside Israel, Arabs are attacking Jewish civilians with vicious intent. What should Israel do? Or should it do nothing in order to not escalate things?
