Summary
One year ago today, Hamas perpetrated the worst massacre of Jewish people in a single day since the Holocaust. In this episode of WTH Extra! Dany and Marc discuss Dany’s article in the WTH Substack, WTH 10/7: It's not just a war on Israel. In the year that followed October 7, 2023, Jews have been the subjects of antisemitic attacks around the world. Iran and its proxies have opened up a seven front war on the Jewish state. And Western leaders have routinely failed to address the problems exposed after October 7, at home and abroad. The time for action was yesterday. But it is never too late to speak out against hate and reject tribalism at home, and the time is now to stop Iran and support American allies abroad.

I don't know what the hell he's talking about. You don't have to know what the hell is on it. What hell's the matter with these guys? We don't know what's going on. What hell's going on? |
| 0:01.1 | Who in God's name |
| 0:21.7 | knows what it's all about. Hi, I'm Danielle Pletka. And I'm Mark Tieson. Welcome to our podcast. What |
| 0:33.9 | the hell is going on? Mark, what the hell extra is going on? |
| 0:38.9 | Well, what the hell is going on is it's the one-year anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attacks, |
| 0:44.0 | and it's an incredibly sad day, but it's also a day that we look back on a year that is quite incredible for Israel, |
| 0:53.7 | unprecedented in its history in terms of how it absorbed |
| 0:58.3 | this, the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, and how it has turned around, and despite |
| 1:06.9 | a wave of anti-Semitic pressure from the entire world has just taken a hammer to these people. |
| 1:15.5 | And it is, I think, you know, B.B. |
| 1:19.6 | We can talk about this a little bit later because we're going to read your excellent piece in the substack. |
| 1:25.8 | But B.B. went from being the guy who presided over the worst intelligence |
| 1:32.2 | failure in Israeli history and one of the worst intelligence failures in Western history, |
| 1:37.9 | to a guy who presided over some of the greatest intelligence and counterterrorism successes |
| 1:43.4 | of any nation in the West |
| 1:45.5 | in the history. It's a comeback, not just for him personally, but for Israel, to have turned |
| 1:52.1 | around after a year of where they were a year ago today and where they are now. It's inspiring |
| 1:58.1 | in so many ways. Well, it is inspiring, but, you know, I think, look, for me, the place you start is there are still hostages being held in Gaza. |
| 2:09.6 | A lot of reports suggest that only 20 of them are still alive. |
| 2:14.0 | I hope that's wrong. |
