    184: Dumisani Washington: BLM is trying to capture black identity and spread Jew-hate. It's a self-destructive ideology
    May 16 2025
    Follow and find the rest of Jonny's Jewish and Israeli podcast and articles. From gospel stages to the Western Wall, Dumisani Washington’s journey is anything but ordinary. As the founder of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, Dumisani shares his extraordinary path - born and raised in the African American church and studying classical piano, to discovering his deep connection with Israel and founding a movement to bridge the gap between Black and Jewish communities. In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Dumisani exposes the dangerous manipulation of Black identity by movements like BLM, reveals how Iran and anti-Zionist ideologies are infiltrating minority spaces, and explains the true historical bond between Africa and Israel — a bond rooted in Scripture, music, and justice. He shares what happened after his first visit to Israel, how antisemitism in America is being repackaged for a new generation, and why Black-Jewish unity is more urgent than ever post October 7th. This is what solidarity can really look like, a conversation which I hope will inspire you and cut through the more negative headlines we’re all exposed to.

    Apr 29 2025
    Help support Jonny's podcasts by buying him a coffee here. This is for every Jewish fan of the Beautiful Game! It's a hearty football discussion with the one and only David Pleat, featuring Paulo di Canio, chicken soup, Alex Ferguson, chopped liver, Brian Clough & Peter Taylor and Leslie Silver at Leeds. Oh, and throw in Chris Waddle and mum's meatballs for good measure. Tipped as “the next Tom Finney” as an England Schoolboy, David rejected the overtures of a host of clubs to stay at home, finish his ‘O’ Levels and enjoy his mum's home-cooking. David's autobiography, "Just One More Goal", available wherever books are sold, tells his story from an upbringing in Nottingham through a successful managerial career at Luton, Tottenham, Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday. He's still involved in the game as a scout for Scottish champions, Celtic. Nothing is off bounds as David also addresses the allegations of kerbcrawling made against him while at Luton, and whether he experienced antisemitism in the game. “Just One More Goal” has been nominated for sports autobiography of the year. Half the proceeds of the book sales is going also to the Motor Neuron disease charity. LISTEN now to David Pleat with Jonny Gould.

  • 182: Julia Haart: from ultraorthodox Jewish wife to billion dollar fashion mogul

    182: Julia Haart: from ultraorthodox Jewish wife to billion dollar fashion mogul
    Apr 3 2025
    Find the rest of Jonny's podcasts at http://jonnygould.substack.com Julia Haart doesn’t hold back in this raw and riveting conversation. From her early years in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community to building a billion-dollar global fashion powerhouse, she shares the gripping, often painful journey behind the headlines. This is the woman behind My Unorthodox Life—but what she reveals here goes far beyond reality TV. In this interview, Julia opens up about what really drove her to walk away from a life of religious constraints, how she built Elite World Group from the ground up, and why comfort and beauty don’t have to be opposites. She shares how a scene from Bridget Jones’s Diary sparked her revolutionary shapewear brand, why she believes God is closer to her now than ever before, and how she balances deep Jewish pride with fierce criticism of religious extremism. She also speaks openly about receiving death threats, witnessing the devastation of October 7 firsthand, and why unity among Jews—regardless of religious label—is now more crucial than ever. And in a surprising twist, Julia teases two groundbreaking inventions she’s working on—one that could change global communication, and another that might help end child labor. This is more than an interview. It’s a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and unapologetic truth-telling. If you think you know Julia Haart, this conversation will make you rethink everything. Watch until the end—you won’t want to miss her vision for the future of Israel, Judaism, and humanity itself.

    180: Joe Walsh: "Donald Trump doesn't care for Israel. He cares for Donald Trump"
    Mar 21 2025
    Find the rest of Jonny’s podcasts and writing here. Agree or disagree, Joe Walsh’s counter-intuition on American politics, Donald Trump and the Middle East is hard to ignore. With one and half million followers across his social media channels, Joe, who served Illinois's 8th district in the House of Representatives returns to Jonny Gould’s Jewish State for a second time. Because having appeared on the show before Donald Trump’s second election victory, here’s why. A lifelong Republican with a penchant for throwing a Tea Party, Joe opposed Donald Trump so much, he voted Kamala for the White House - whatever their differences. He said the two-party system needed a shakeup. Oh, and he also told me in his first ever response to my first ever question to him: "I want to retire and die in Israel". Not Jewish. An American Catholic. So does he believe in Israel’s society more than America's? So much to catchup on. Hold tight, here’s Joe Walsh.

    179: Rachel Moiselle: the huge price defending Israel and the Jewish people in Ireland
    Mar 11 2025
    “I can’t align with Palestinian protests and they say I’m less Irish because of it”. Rachel Moiselle is a young woman born and bred in Dublin, a PhD. student who calls herself a city girl. She loves the place she grew up in - but the feeling among her people isn’t much reciprocated. Raised a Roman Catholic, her father’s family were Jewish - and in standing up for Ireland’s community of around 3,000, Rachel’s found out the hard way about antisemitism since October 7th. She’s been shunned, cancelled and lost friends. But she wouldn’t change a thing - oh, except one, that is, she’s fully converting to Judaism. Rachel gives her first ever interview to Jonny Gould about the life she's been thrust into since October 7th.

  • 178: Yoram Ettinger: how many Palestinians are REALLY in Judea & Samaria and Gaza?

    178: Yoram Ettinger: how many Palestinians are REALLY in Judea & Samaria and Gaza?
    Feb 26 2025
    You can help me with a coffee here. "There are two million Palestinians in Gaza!", they cry. All the time. It's repeated as fact. "Bringing Judea and Samaria into Israel would create an Arab majority". Is that right? Quite apart from being untrue, the problem with these statements is that Israel creates policy based on them. So is it time to establish real facts about population and childbirth? Where is the population momentum? Does it lie with Jewish Israelis or their Arab neighbours? Our guest today is Yoram Ettinger, who challenges conventional narratives about population trends in Israel and the Palestinian territories. His extensive experience diverges from most assumptions.
