I'm Jonathan Sacerdoti

Britain has been infiltrated, the Muslim Brotherhood's quiet takeover is already underway, and the West is listening to the wrong Muslims.Rauda Altenaiji and Ahmed Sharif Al Ameri are part of a new wave of Emirati voices speaking out, proudly and publicly, in defence of the Abraham Accords and the world's only Jewish state. They feel safer walking through Dubai at 4am than London at 8pm, and their leadership has stopped sending students to British universities for fear they'll be radicalised.But beneath the warning are harder questions. The UAE enforces its famous tolerance through some of the world's harshest laws — including execution. Is that a model the West could ever, or should ever, follow? Is their picture of coexistence too perfect to be true? And when two polished young influencers appear defending Israel and the Accords, who exactly is behind them — and why?In this conversation, recorded live at the ARC 2026 conference, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Rauda Altenaiji and Ahmed Sharif Al Ameri — Emirati commentators and social-media political voices — about the Abraham Accords, Islamist extremism in Britain, the Muslim Brotherhood, antisemitism, migrant workers' rights, the death penalty, and why they believe London is losing its identity while the Gulf thrives.Filmed at ARC 2026ARC’s new book: ⁠The Age of Reconstruction⁠ - by Johnny Patterson, ARC Chief Ideas OfficerDonate to support these conversations, at: ⁠https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donate⁠👁️‍🗨️ Watch if you want to understand how two Emiratis see Britain's extremism problem — and why they believe the West is listening to the wrong Muslims.🎙️ We Discuss:🔴 Why two Emiratis publicly defend Israel and the Abraham Accords — and what it cost them🕌 The Muslim Brotherhood "invasion" of the West, and why they say it now works through PR, not conquest🇬🇧 Why the UAE will no longer send its students to study in the UK⚖️ How the UAE treats antisemitism as terrorism — and the one case that ended in execution🏙️ Why they'd walk through Dubai at 4am but not London after 8pm👷 The truth about the UAE: the uncomfortable questions on migrant workers, labour laws and 87.9% of the population💀 Tolerance enforced by the death penalty — model or warning?📖 The idea of a "civilisational jihad"🎓 How a Muslim woman was branded Islamophobic by a white British university professor🤔 "Is this engineered?" — answering the suspicion that these influencers came from nowhere🌍 How to spread coexistence to the rest of the Arab world🔔 Subscribe for more serious and unflinching conversations about the Middle East, Israel, the Gulf, Islamism, and the forces reshaping the West.📲 Follow JonathanOn ⁠X⁠On ⁠Instagram⁠On ⁠Substack⁠ARC Conference:On ⁠X⁠On ⁠YouTube⁠On ⁠Instagram⁠💬 Comment below — is the UAE's model of enforced tolerance something the West should learn from, or the very thing it should fear?

Iran’s regime is relying on executions, foreign fighters and extreme repression to survive.In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks with Dr Tamar Eilam Gindin, a specialist in Iranian language, culture and political mythology, about what she is seeing emerge inside the Islamic Republic. Drawing on reports and her own sources from within Iran, she explains how executions surged in the months that followed the 12 Day War, how protests were crushed using non-Iranian forces, and why these tactics point to a system under enormous strain.Dr Gindin describes how funerals have turned into protests, why mosques are being burned as symbols of oppression, and why removing the Supreme Leader might not dismantle the regime.The conversation also examines how Iranian regime narratives continue to shape Western media and academic analysis, and why protesters inside Iran are rallying around Reza Pahlavi.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how Iran’s uprisings will develop in the coming weeks and months.💬 We Discuss:🇮🇷 The surge in executions after the war in June🔥 The regime’s use of foreign militias against protesters🕌 The breakdown of religious legitimacy⚔️ Why removing one leader would not end the system🧠 How Western analysis misunderstands Iran👑 Who is Reza Pahlavi and why protestors chant his name🌍 What type of external pressure could actually change outcomes🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on Iran, power and global affairs.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com🙏🏻Help me make more of these videos:Donate: https://jonathansacerdoti.com/donate👇 Comment below — will the US act to end the regime, or has the moment passed?#Iran #IranProtests #IslamicRepublic #MiddleEast #RezaPahlavi #JonathanSacerdoti #TamarEilamGindin

Britain’s justice system is facing a profound rupture. Under the banner of efficiency and backlog reduction, reforms are being proposed that would remove large numbers of cases from jury trial, weaken appeal rights, and concentrate decision making power in the hands of the state. These changes touch principles that have defined British liberty for centuries and raise fundamental questions about our justice and democracy, and who they ultimately serve.In this conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti speaks to veteran criminal defence barrister Jeremy Dein KC, whose decades at the heart of the courts give him a rare vantage point. Dein explains why dismantling jury trials will not solve the crisis it claims to address, why judges themselves are alarmed, and how political pressure, public disorder and selective enforcement are corroding trust in the rule of law. From constitutional change to the reality of two-tier justice, this discussion exposes how institutional drift becomes moral failure when the state forgets its duty to protect the individual.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how the erosion of jury trials, policing failures and selective enforcement are symptoms of a deeper crisis in British justice.💬 We Discuss:⚖️ Why jury trials are not a procedural detail but a constitutional safeguard against injustice🏛️ How proposals to reduce jury trials undermine principles dating back to Magna Carta📉 Why abolishing juries will not solve the court backlog and may worsen it👩‍⚖️ Why concentrating power creates new risks📜 The quiet removal of appeal rights and what it means for ordinary defendants🚨 Fast tracked justice and why speed can become a substitute for fairness🔍 Two tier justice and how public order policing reveals institutional fear and inconsistency🕍 The failure to protect Jewish communities from intimidation masquerading as protest🗣️ Free speech versus criminal intimidation and where the law has lost clarity🇬🇧 What all of this says about Britain’s future as a liberal democracy🔔 Subscribe for more serious and unflinching conversations about law, power and the future of British institutions.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — if jury trials and equal justice are weakened in the name of efficiency, what protections remain for the individual against the state?#JeremyDein #JonathanSacerdoti #BritishJustice #JuryTrials #RuleOfLaw #FreeSpeech #Antisemitism #UKPolitics #CivilLiberties

For nearly half a century the Islamic Republic has ruled Iran through fear, censorship and organised cruelty. It has crushed dissent at home while exporting terrorism abroad, and it has relied on a simple calculation: that the world would look away while its own people suffered in silence.Today that calculation is collapsing.Across Iran, ordinary men and women are rising against a regime that has impoverished them, humiliated them and treated their lives as disposable. They are marching in the streets knowing they may never return home. And for the first time in decades, they feel that the outside world might finally be listening.In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Jonathan Sacerdoti is joined by Iranian activist Niyak Ghorbani, one of the most visible organisers of protests in the United Kingdom and a relentless opponent of both the Islamic Republic and the antisemitic movements it sponsors. Drawing on his own experience of life under the regime, and on the stories of family and friends still trapped inside Iran, he describes what this moment feels like from the inside.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why the battle for Iran’s future matters far beyond its borders, and why this uprising feels different from all those that came before.💬 We Discuss:🇮🇷 What daily life under the Islamic Republic is really like for ordinary Iranians🔥 Why this wave of protests feels closer to regime change than ever before🇺🇸 How Donald Trump’s words transformed Iranian morale📺 The failure of mainstream media to report the uprising honestly👮‍♂️ Niyak’s own arrests in Britain for opposing antisemitic marches🕊️ The bravery of protesters who know they may be killed for demonstrating👑 Why many Iranians now rally behind Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi🌍 How Iran’s struggle mirrors the rise of Islamist influence in the West📱 Social media, citizen journalism and the fight to break regime censorship⚠️ The lessons Britain should learn from Iran before it is too late🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about world affairs, freedom and the fight for truth.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com

Fleur Hassan Nahum has worked at the sharp end of politics, media and national crisis. As a former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem and Special Envoy for Innovation, she has dealt directly with international leaders, hostile broadcasters and the pressures that follow war into every public space.In this conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she lifts the lid to reveal the real workings of media and politics, drawing on her own personal experience. She reflects on her repeated appearances on Piers Morgan Uncensored and explains why she became increasingly critical of the programme, and the man. She describes a media environment that rewards confrontation, elevates extreme voices and treats serious issues as clickbait content.She discusses her own interactions with Benjamin Netanyahu, assessing his political skill and strategic instincts alongside the divisions, communication failures and long term costs of leadership during war.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how personal experience exposes institutional failure, and why October 7 tested the credibility of the West.We Discuss:📺 What Fleur’s experiences on Piers Morgan Uncensored reveal about modern broadcasting🧠 What Benjamin Netanyahu is like in private, and how power operates in Israeli politics🏛️ Division, accountability and leadership under national trauma⚖️ Where free speech ends and institutional irresponsibility begins🕍 Antisemitism as a structural problem within Western culture🌍 What October 7 revealed about moral confidence in democratic societies🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Britain, freedom and the fight for truth.📲 Follow JonathanOn X: https://x.com/jonsacOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — what should the public expect from media and leaders during war?

For years, British public life told itself a comforting lie: that tolerance meant silence, that compassion meant compliance, and that asking hard questions was somehow immoral. Josh Howie no longer believes that story.In this uncompromising conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Howie explains how comedy, journalism and politics were quietly captured by fear. Not fear of violence, but fear of social punishment: being labelled, deplatformed, or cast out for stating obvious truths.Now host of Free Speech Nation on GB News, Howie describes how institutions surrendered their authority through cowardice rather than coercion. He traces how activists reshaped language, how journalists abandoned clarity, and how dissent was redefined as extremism.He also speaks candidly about antisemitism on the contemporary left, the vulnerability of Jews caught between hostile extremes, and why historical memory makes neutrality impossible. What emerges is a conversation about free speech not as a slogan, but as the last line of defence between democracy and ideological conformity.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how Britain reached a point where telling the truth feels like a political act.💬 We discuss:🎭 Why comedians became the last people willing to speak plainly📰 How mainstream media normalised omission and distortion🧠 The capture of language and the policing of thought⚖️ Why women’s rights and biological reality were reframed as hate🕍 Antisemitism on the left and the collapse of old political loyalties🏛️ How institutions surrendered authority through fear and careerism🧭 Political homelessness and the erosion of left–right meaning🚨 Why dissent is now treated as danger rather than necessity🗣️ Free speech as a cultural immune system — and what happens when it fails🔔 Subscribe for more unflinching conversations about power, culture and the battle for truth in Britain.📲 Follow Jonathan:X: https://x.com/jonsacInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/

A filmmaker set out to document the fallout of October seventh. Instead, she uncovered something far larger and far darker: a coordinated ideological capture of Western institutions, a foreign-funded corrosion of democratic values, and a generation primed to cheer for extremists before the bodies in Israel had even been counted. Wendy Sachs joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for a stark, unflinching look at how the world lost its bearings on October eighth, and why the shockwaves are still reshaping global politics today.Sachs traces the journey from campus slogans to international propaganda machines: the sudden mobilisation of Students for Justice in Palestine, the foreign financing behind them, and the decades-long strategy to infiltrate universities, media and social platforms. She reveals how Qatar, Iran and China have poured billions into Western education while demanding silence about their own regimes, how academics have embraced an oppressor–oppressed fiction that rewards extremism, and how young people were ideologically groomed long before October seventh made the crisis visible.👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why October eighth wasn’t a reaction — it was a revelation.💬 We Discuss:📽️ How October 8th exposes the ideological collapse after the Hamas massacre🗽 The Times Square celebrations before the dead were even named🎓 The hidden foreign funding behind SJP and campus radicalism🔺 The origins of the red-triangle symbol and why its use is a call to violence📡 Decades of Hamas messaging strategy revealed in FBI wiretaps🌍 How anti-Zionism became the fashionable disguise for old antisemitic tropes💸 Qatar, China and Iran’s billion-dollar grip on Western universities📚 The academic shift from scholarship to indoctrination🧠 How TikTok and social algorithms manufactured a generation’s worldview🏛️ Why institutions police “offence” but not extremism🎞️ Why Hollywood is now a battleground for foreign influence🔥 The climate of hate: from campus cancellations to political assassinations🕊️ How Jews rediscovered identity — and why the crisis reaches far beyond them⚖️ What it will take for democracies to fight back, and whether they still can🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about democracy, extremism and the future of the free world.📲 Follow Jonathan:X: https://x.com/jonsacInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/Watch without adverts if you subscribe on Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com👇 Comment below — Are Western institutions still capable of defending themselves, or has the ideological capture gone too far?
