The Real Cost of Spiraling Jew Hatred Oct 29, 2026

Show notes

A familiar place of worship. Friendly faces. A moment of peace. Then gunshots. Terror. Lives shattered by hatred.

On October 27, 2018, 11 Jewish worshippers were murdered at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue in the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history.

In this episode of CUFI Weekly, Kasim remembers the victims and confronts a disturbing reality: Jew-hatred has only intensified in the years since.

Antisemitism seldom starts with violence; it begins with words. Silence allows hatred to spread, and history has shown us the cost.

Imagine it was you. Wouldn’t you want someone to speak up?

Rebuilding Gaza...or Rebuilding Terror? Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

Rebuilding Gaza is about more than bricks and mortar. It's about who will control its future, who will fund its reconstruction, and whether Hamas will be allowed to regain its power.

In this week's CUFI Weekly, Kasim examines critical questions surrounding Gaza's future, the role of regional powers, and why any lasting peace must prioritize Israel's security and prevent the conditions that led to the horrific attacks on October 7, 2023, from recurring.

Reconstruction without accountability is not a pathway to peace.

Iran's 30-year plan to divide America Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Iran's regime isn't just spreading terror across the Middle East. It's working to spread antisemitism and undermine America from within.

This week on the CUFI Weekly, Kasim discusses a troubling report from the Simon Wiesenthal Center detailing Iran's alleged influence operations and efforts to fuel antisemitism, manipulate public opinion, and deepen divisions in American society.

Learn why vigilance matters, see the dangers of allowing the regime's activities to go unchecked, and discover why the world must never lose sight of the Iranian regime's record of repression, antisemitism, and support for terrorism.

Three Years After October 7th Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

Three years after the horrors of October 7, Kasim Hafeez reflects on what followed—not only the unimaginable pain inflicted on Israel, but the world's response.

Unlike the global solidarity America experienced after 9/11, Israel faced condemnation and hostility almost immediately, even before its major military response began.

But October 7 is not only a story of tragedy.

It is also a story of the Israeli spirit: communities rebuilding, families persevering, a nation refusing to be defined by those who sought to destroy it, and a people choosing resilience in the face of extraordinary pain.

This week, join us as we remember the lives stolen, reflect on the world's response, and honor the strength of a nation that continues to stand.

Copilot Tries to Hijack a Flight to Israel Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

This week on CUFI Weekly, we examine a frightening question: what happens when the people and institutions we are supposed to trust no longer feel safe?An Israel-bound Flydubai flight narrowly avoided catastrophe after a pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the aircraft—an incident Israeli authorities are investigating as a possible terror attack with chilling echoes of 9/11.

Meanwhile, in Britain, a report on its National Health Service documented the discrimination experienced by Jewish staff and patients from the cockpit to the hospital, trust matters.

When antisemitism and hatred penetrate professions entrusted with human life, the consequences extend far beyond hateful words—they undermine the basic confidence that people should be able to place in those responsible for their safety.

Is THIS what Jesus would do? Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

More than 5,600 miles separate Binyamin in Samaria from Belleville, Ontario—but this Yom Kippur, both were touched by violence as Jewish communities prepared to observe their holiest day.

In Binyamin, a father of six was murdered in a terrorist attack. In Belleville, a police officer guarding a synagogue was shot as worshippers gathered.

In this episode of CUFI Weekly, we ask why Jews around the world still face danger simply for gathering to worship—and confront an uncomfortable reality: some of today’s antisemitism is coming from those who call themselves Christians.

Jesus commanded us to love our neighbors. What happened to loving our neighbors?

Why Peace With Israel is a Threat to Iran’s Regime Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

Those who fail to learn from history risk repeating its darkest chapters. This week on CUFI Weekly, we mark the anniversaries of the Abraham Accords and Camp David to examine what peace demands: courage, leadership, and a willingness to reject hatred. From Anwar Sadat’s assassination after choosing peace with Israel to Mahsa Amini’s death under Iran’s oppressive regime, we confront the forces that punish courage and crush freedom.

"Lessons written in blood" should never be forgotten Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

Twenty-five years after September 11, America appears to be forgetting the lessons written in blood that day. Instead of uniting against terrorism, we now see extremists celebrated, terrorist organizations defended and violence excused as “resistance.”

Terrorism does not seek peace or coexistence. It targets those who disagree, silences opposition and murders innocent people who simply want to live their lives.

This week on CUFI Weekly, we examine what has changed since 9/11—and why confronting terrorism and the ideology that fuels it remains as urgent as ever.

What Jewish Students Are Facing on American Campuses Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the CUFI Weekly, we’re looking at what Jewish students are facing on college campuses across America and the alarming rise of antisemitism in places that should be safe for every student. From harassment and intimidation to the normalization of anti-Jewish hatred, Jewish students are being confronted with warning signs that are difficult to ignore.

For Holocaust survivors, these warning signs are especially familiar. Their experiences offer an important reminder of what can happen when hatred is allowed to spread unchecked and society chooses to look the other way. Join us as we hear a Holocaust survivor’s warning for America and examine why the lessons of history still matter today.

Listen to this week’s CUFI Weekly episode to learn what Jewish students are facing—and why we cannot afford to ignore the warning signs.

Evidence Israel's Critics Can’t Explain Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the CUFI Weekly, we’re looking at recent archaeological discoveries in Israel and the stories they tell about the people, places, and events of the biblical world. From ancient artifacts to physical evidence uncovered beneath the ground, archaeology continues to provide important insight into the history of the land of Israel and the Jewish people who have called it home for thousands of years.

As critics attempt to rewrite or dismiss Israel’s history, the evidence remains, and the proof is in the dirt. Join us as we look into these discoveries and examine what the archaeological record reveals.

Watch this week’s CUFI Weekly episode to see the evidence for yourself.
