  • Inside the Mossad: Unbelievable Missions That Shaped Israel's Destiny (re-released)

    Inside the Mossad: Unbelievable Missions That Shaped Israel's Destiny (re-released)
    Apr 29 2025
    This year has tested Israel and the Jewish people like never before. Amid devastating war, political chaos, and a global surge in antisemitism, Noam Weissman reflects on an astonishing truth: it could have been even worse. In this episode of Unpacking Israeli History, Noam revisits a few breathtaking stories of Israel’s legendary intelligence agency, the Mossad, whose secret missions have saved countless lives. From the brilliant sabotage of Hezbollah's communications network in 2024 to the dramatic 1973 "Operation Spring of Youth" where Israeli commandos disguised themselves in drag to eliminate top PLO leaders, these missions are the stuff of spy thrillers—except they're real.

    Host Noam Weissman explores the powerful origins and evolving meaning of Yom HaShoah ve HaGevurah, Israel’s official Holocaust Remembrance Day. Why doesn’t Israel observe Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27th like the rest of the world? The answer lies in a gripping story of resistance, memory, politics, and identity. This episode confronts painful truths, honors acts of defiance, and ultimately asks: how do we remember the Holocaust in a way that affirms Jewish resilience and identity?
