Honestly with Bari Weiss - A Middle East on the Brink
On Saturday afternoon, a Hezbollah rocket fired from southern Lebanon struck a soccer field in the village of Majdal Shams in Israel’s north, slaughtering 12 children.
For the last 10 months, many have warned that Israel is on the brink of a major war with Hezbollah. But the truth is that Hezbollah has been fighting—and winning—in Israel’s north since October 8. For the past 10 months, Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy terror group that controls southern Lebanon, has essentially redrawn the northern border of Israel by pummeling the border towns daily with rockets, leaving 225 square miles unlivable for Israelis and displacing around 80,000 Israeli citizens.
Israel—pounded by Iranian proxies from all directions—now faces one of the most perilous moments in recent history. The prospect of an all-out war with Hezbollah, which could very well spread to a larger, more dangerous regional war—perhaps directly with Iran—seems closer than ever.
What is Israel going to do? Will Israel choose to confront Hezbollah, or will they respond in a more limited way to avoid the regional escalation that the Americans so fear? How does U.S. policy, and the upcoming presidential election, influence Israel’s strategic calculation? Is Kamala Harris equipped to bring calm to the region? Or are Israelis just waiting for Trump to return to office? Is America’s current policy—which is the containment of Iran—backfiring and inadvertently creating a regional crisis? Most importantly, should we be thinking about the war with Gaza and the war with Hezbollah as discrete fights, or are they all part of a broader war that’s already underway between Israel and Iran?
Answering those questions today is Haviv Rettig Gur. Haviv is a journalist and writer for The Times of Israel, and he is one of the most important and insightful thinkers of our time on Israel and the Middle East.

The Daily Signal - VICTORY: How California Dad Wins Custody of Son Over Mother Who Sought to Raise Him Nonbinary
Harrison Tinsley, now has full custody of his 4-year-old son, Sawyer, after a long legal battle prompted by his ex-girlfriend’s efforts to raise the boy nonbinary.
“I know he's a boy,” says Tinsley. “He wants to be a boy. He adamantly expresses that. If you say anything to the contrary, he gets very upset, and it's just insane that people, any person, would push this ideology onto a child, as opposed to just [allowing them to] be happy with who they are.”
After reaching a settlement granting Tinsley full physical custody of his son, the father said he felt like he was “watching a miracle.”
In a state like California, which recently passed a bill allowing schools to keep knowledge from parents related to the gender transition of minors, it's easy to see why Tinsley views his victory as a “miracle.”
“It definitely is a pretty wonderful feeling to fight for something so hard and to actually achieve it,” Tinsley says, adding, “I just want to help more people protect children. I want to protect more kids. I think it's the battle of our lifetime.”
Due to an “incident,” which Tinsley did not describe in any detail, Child Protective Services in San Francisco got involved and “put politics aside and did what they felt was best for the child,” the father explains.
Tinsley joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how his son is doing today and what message he would share with other parents facing similar situations.
