Welcome to Viewpoint on ILTV, where we bring you leading voices from the Middle East and beyond.

In this special, we're taking you inside the Israel-Gaza war and global antiatt is an evolutionary behavioral scientist and a visiting professor and global ambassador at Northwood University. He's also the

best-selling author of the parasitic mind. How infectious ideas are killing common sense, one of my

personal favorite books, and has recently actually been released in Hebrew here in Israel.

Now, Dr. Sad is known for his fearless critiques of political correctness of radical Islam and

Western appeasement culture. He's also been a powerful advocate for free speech and a staunch

defender of Israel and Jewish identity within the Western world. He also hosts the popular

podcast, The Sad Truth, and has become a major voice challenging the rise of ideological

conformity in academia and beyond.
