Today, he is chief executive of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and co-founder of its Center on Economic and Financial Power. In this episode of The Western Spirit, Dubowitz warns that Israel is facing a new kind of campaign—one fought not only with missiles and armies, but through financial, economic, diplomatic and political pressure. He argues that tools developed to isolate adversaries such as Iran could increasingly be used against Israel itself.We also get into the battle taking place inside American politics. Dubowitz discusses Tucker Carlson, his late father Richard Carlson, and what he sees as a disturbing rise of antisemitism on parts of both the American right and left. He explains why he believes the stakes extend far beyond Israel—and why Americans should pay attention.This is a conversation about Iran, Israel, sanctions, economic warfare, antisemitism and the political forces reshaping the United States and the West.Chapters00:00Introduction: The Global Offensive Against Israel01:12Mark Dubowitz's Background and Focus on Iran02:20Sanctions Architecture and Its Turn Against Israel04:44International Efforts to Sanction West Bank Businesses06:46De-risking and Its Impact on Israeli and Global Banks08:39The Future of US Sanctions and Political Support for Israel10:34Israel's Military Strength vs Diplomatic Isolation11:51Public Support for Israel in the US and Political Trends14:31The Role of Political Rhetoric and Leadership in Israel17:46The Need for Responsible Politics and Coalition Building23:23The Influence of Anti-Israel Propaganda and Fractures in US Politics27:22The Rise of Anti-Semitism and Political Extremism in America33:46US and Israeli Strategies for the Future37:48Iran's Weakened Regime and Future Threats45:56The Political Landscape in the US and Its Impact on Israel54:46The Safety of Jews in America and the Path Forward#MarkDubowitz #Israel #TuckerCarlson #Iran #Antisemitism #WesternSpirit
