Elders of Zionism

About Elders of Zionism

Elders of Zionism - hosted by writer Judah Friedman, political strategist Guy Goldstein and Hollywood producer Golan Ramraz - is a podcast of three Jews taking back the name. At a time when Zionism has become a dirty word, we're asking why. Because the ideas under attack didn't start in Washington, Philadelphia or with the Magna Carta. They started at Sinai. Each week, we explore the connections between Zionism, Americanism and the broader Judeo-Christian tradition in an unapologetic conversation about civilization, sovereignty and the future of the West.

   Protocol 40: Zach Bryan, the Omani Pilot and the Gaza Grift.

   On this Episode Judah Friedman, Guy Goldstein and a previously thoroughly drenched but now dry Golan Ramraz open (00:00) with the Spanish floods and a phone-free philosophy of concert-going (02:56), then pivot to the flydubai hijacking attempt (06:02). The hosts argue that people with ugly ideas attach themselves to the Gaza cause to launder them, and Guy lays out how the suspect's radicalization predates the war (36:40). From there the conversation widens to the October 7 erasure (13:16), the Green Party's Zionism motion (19:31), SJP's funding (20:36), and Tucker Carlson's interview with Jacob Rees-Mogg (22:02). Judah makes the peace-through-strength case for Trump (26:14) and asks who is knifing him from inside the pod sphere (29:30). The hosts then break down how quickly the Israeli press turned the plumber hero into a Netanyahu campaign story (41:38, 44:40), and Guy frames Bibi's reaction as a redemption arc (45:49). The episode closes with the ICEJ and Christian allies (52:44), Falling Down and the inversion of heroes and villains (55:57), whether Israeli athletes should keep traveling (58:08), and Yuval Raphael's Eurovision stand (1:03:57).

   Protocol 39: 90 Seconds - 17,000FT And A Pride Of Lions

   An Omani co-pilot stabs his captain at 33,000 feet and sends a 737 Max full of Israelis into a dive. The captain unlocks the door, the passengers storm in, and a man who learned his flying from Mayday pulls the plane out (09:42). Judah, Golan, and Guy lay out what happened (02:29), argue for a new word for it (08:18), and ask how an Omani pilot got vetted for a Tel Aviv route (28:07). They cover the IAF escort over Saudi airspace and what it says about the Abraham Accords (20:08), Saudi Arabia's refusal to accept a rescue flight (30:56), and the "Israel knew" narrative that started within hours (47:03). They also take on Netanyahu's UAE trip (31:54), the edited BB clip (49:53), Rahm Emanuel's El-Sayed endorsement (55:17), and the show's own YouTube trouble (53:20). Guy closes with Dayenu (44:25).

   Protocol 38: History Hasn’t Been Kind To Those Who Have Betrayed The Jews. KAPOS Included.

   Protocol 38 begins with (00:01) Judah welcoming Guy Goldstein and Golan Ramraz, thanking a listener for a five-star Apple review, and pushing everyone to search "Elders of Zionism" on Google, followed by a detour through Judah's dog, the yogurt diet, and a vet who never offers a compliment (00:50). The news opens at (05:52) with the Friday-afternoon story dump in Israeli politics and the claim that Netanyahu was warned about October 7th. Golan lays out how a dubious claim gets laundered through Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders, the UN and eventually an Oscar-winning film until nobody has to cite the original source (07:14), and Guy extends it to AI search results, where influence laundering becomes truth laundering (10:34). They cover the Guardian fact-checking the BBC on its count of journalists killed in Gaza (11:37), the Egyptian and UAE warning stories (13:05), and the "McLamore to Tor Gaza 2027" joke episode followed by an announced free Palestine tour, which Golan argues was arranged well in advance (14:24). Judah explains that YouTube pulled the previous episode and, for the first time in roughly 75 pulled episodes across his shows, supplied a timestamp citing hate speech (17:00), and the three trade platform ban stories, from Guy's lifetime Fiverr ban to Golan's unactioned reports and the Whitney Cummings flag on Truth Social (19:12). The conversation turns to the Netherlands searching Israeli travelers over goods from Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights (23:12), and Guy ties the wave of sanctions to the erosion of equality under God and liberal democracy (25:09). After a lighter aside about a family banned from an airline over a large Indian meal (26:53), Golan argues that "genocide" has become a political conclusion rather than a legal one, with the ICJ case still undecided (28:31), Guy roots due process and the presumption of innocence in the Judeo-Christian foundation of the West (30:48), and Judah lands the beta-test framing: Jews are the test case for what comes next for everyone else (33:49). The second half moves to the UK, where a former Hamas bodyguard received citizenship and was later caught organizing weapons caches on the continent through Israeli and German intelligence rather than British services (34:19), then to the foiled plot near a US air base housing strategic bombers, reportedly spotted by a local farmer, and why the story is getting so little coverage on the left or the right (41:58 to 47:56). Gillian Anderson is attacked for mentioning Sudan without mentioning Gaza (49:20), and Guy points out that the Gaza ceasefire began a year ago while the UN General Assembly is still litigating a war that ended (51:36). Judah raises Tucker Carlson's claim not to be fixated on Jews (52:43), Golan and Guy discuss the Dutch student who allegedly identified himself in October 7th footage (53:35), and Judah closes the news by launching a recurring "Capo of the Week" segment (56:07). The episode ends on a serious note as Guy reflects on Holocaust survivor families saying they are glad their parents did not live to see this (59:04), and Golan reminds everyone that the difference from 1938 is the existence of Israel (1:01:19).
