Prager H1: Why is the US trying to force Israel into a ceasefire? Why aren’t Canada and India calling for a ceasefire? If Israel is a trusted ally, shouldn’t we let them make the decision how best to defend themselves?… Does Europe have a moral spine left? Are they willing to do anything to punish Russia? Is our President?
Prager H3: Dennis debates Mira Sucharov, Associate Professor of Political Science at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. She writes for the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, where she took issue with Dennis’s Prager University video, “The Middle East Problem.”
Prager H2: Dennis talks to leading Dutch journalist, Leon de Winter, about how his countrymen are dealing with the shooting down of MH 17 and death of 193 of their fellow citizens… Will world let Israel defend itself?
Prager H1: The downing of MH 17 is an evil that’s hard to fathom. You read about those who were murdered and you cry and feel intense anger. But will the Dutch who lost 193 citizens or Europe do anything constructive with their outrage? Probably not… The reporting on Israel’s self-defense actions in Gaza scrapes the bottom of the media barrel. At the bottom of the bottom of barrel is the NY Times.

Prager H3: Dennis talks to Carlotta Gall, reporter for New York Times since 1999, including over ten years in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Her new book is The Wrong Enemy: America in Afghanistan, 2001-2014… If the President had made a case that we needed to preserve our victories in Iraq and Afghanistan, the American public would have embraced him… An appeals court tells the University of Texas that it can use race to create “holistic diversity.” What’s that?
Prager H2: The early best guess is that the Malaysian Airlines jet was shot down by Russian rebels within Ukraine. Why is Russia giving these rebels such sophisticated weapons?… A woman let her 9-year-old daughter play outside in the park while she worked at a nearby MacDonald’s… The Obama Administration wants to prohibit corporations from moving overseas to avoid high taxes.
