Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words

European Anti-Semitism, Saving Sinwar’s Life, and the Left’s October 7 Denial

October 1, 2026·1h 26m
Episode Description from the Publisher

European nations are turning against Israel while downplaying the realities of October 7 and applying a different standard to Israel’s response to terrorism. Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler focus on Ireland and Spain’s increasingly anti-Israel rhetoric and the refusal to confront the brutality of the October 7 attacks. They also highlight the irony that Israeli doctors once saved the life of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by removing a brain tumor while he was imprisoned in Israel. Hanson also pushes back on claims that the conflict with Iran is becoming another “forever war,” arguing that Iran’s weakened infrastructure and limited American combat losses tell a very different story. The conversation also covers the growing race for artificial intelligence dominance, Elon Musk’s success with companies like SpaceX and Starlink, the release on bail of five suspects arrested with explosives near a British airbase used by the United States, and the political dynamics heading into the midterm elections.
