In this week's episode of the Deep Dive podcast, The Jerusalem Post's international affairs reporter Mathilda Heller walks the host through seven days that are hard to believe happened in sequence.
London's Metropolitan Police stripped the sign off the Nova Festival exhibit because the memorial itself had become a target. Federal prosecutors in Washington moved to seek the death penalty for the man who shot two young Israeli embassy staffers. King Charles pledged urgent action in Parliament.
Tens of thousands marched through London chanting "death to the IDF." And in Vienna, Israel's Eurovision contestant took the stage to the loudest boos of his life, then finished second anyway.
What sets the episode apart is how Heller refuses to settle for the official line. Speeches from King Charles and Keir Starmer get tested against what's happening on the ground, and Mamdani's choice of liaison faces a sharper question about whose voice he picked to represent a community he doesn't belong to.
