I'm Aiton Weinstein.

And I'm Naor Menninger.

And you're listening to Two Nice Jewish Boys.

Never underestimate the task of a journalist.

In the maelstrom of political commentary, which seems to pull every news outlet today into its powerful grip,

it's probably pretty difficult to swim against

the news feed and remain true to, well, truth, especially in today's endless stream of information.

Many English speakers in Israel and around the world turned to the Times of Israel for honest

reporting on the Middle East.

Reading through their articles, you get a sense

that the Times of Israel isn't looking to please any specific readership. Despite their relative

youth, the Times also has an impressive record of investigative journalism, including the piece

known as The Wolves of Tel Aviv, written by Simone Wine Glass, who was a guest on the podcast.

The expose and Wine Glass's journalism are

widely accredited for playing the central role in taking down the fraudulent binary options

industry in Israel. David Horowitz, the founding editor of the Times of Israel, began his career

in 1983 at the Jerusalem Post, where he eventually became editor-in-chief. After leaving the post in 2011, Horowitz launched the Times of Israel in 2012 and has since grown the website to a reach of 4 million readers a month. Horowitz has also authored several books, including still life with bombers, Israel in the Age of Terrorism,

and a little too close to God, the thrills and panic of a life in Israel.

We're thrilled to have David Horowitz on the podcast today to speak about Israel, journalism,

and free speech.

This podcast is made in collaboration with the Jewish journal.

So I think a good place maybe to get started is this recent story of rabbi, I think it was Dov Chayun,
