    This week on The Thinking Muslim, we speak with Omar Abdulaziz, the Saudi dissident and activist whose phone was hacked using Israeli spyware technology for criticising the Saudi regime. In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030, the drive toward normalisation with Israel, and the kingdom’s tightening grip over religion and dissent. We also ask a crucial question: is the Kaaba safe in Saudi hands?

    In this short clip from our recent episode with Sami Hamdi, we explore the debate between America First and Israel First policies in the United States. Sami makes his position clear: he will never tell Americans how to vote, but he points out that Zionists are deeply concerned about the American people choosing America First policies. He speaks with conviction about the inherent goodness of ordinary Americans, expressing his profound faith in their humanity, compassion, and sense of justice.

    Much of the support for Zionism in the United States stems from an Evangelical Christian background. Our guest today is the Reverend Robert Smith, a lecturer and religious thinker. We examine Christian Zionism and its fundamental principles in depth. He contends that Zionism is deeply connected to the story of America and indeed the story of modernity.
