I interviewed actor and comedian Michael Rapaport who since Oct. 7 has been outspoken about his support for Israel and for a return of the hostages. In this far-reaching interview, Rapaport describes his journey to becoming an Oct. 8th Jew, the silence in Hollywood, what he loves about the Israeli people and being Jewish, and ultimately why he has fallen…

Northern Israel suffered massive fires this week as Iran’s Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, relentlessly bombed towns, military installations, crops, grazing grounds and nature preservers with rockets and missiles. At this point, a ground war in Lebanon seems both imminent and imperative to restore Israeli control over the Galilee and Golan Heights. In the latest IN FOCUS, I discuss two of the major…
