Lucy Aharish is one of the most prominent television broadcasters in Israel—and the very first Arab Muslim news presenter on mainstream Hebrew-language Israeli television.
Born and raised in a small Jewish town in Israel’s Negev desert, as one of the only Arab Muslim families, she has a unique lens through which to view the divisions in Israeli society, the complexity of the country’s national identity, and the Middle East more generally.
Lucy has long been a vocal critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and is equally critical of her fellow Arab Israelis, particularly of Arab violence and the Arab leadership that she says condones it.
A Muslim and a Zionist; an Arab and an Israeli. In short, Lucy Aharaish is an iconoclast.
Bari Weiss sat down with Lucy in Tel Aviv. They talked about the October 7 massacre and its impact on the country and her family–her husband put on his uniform and headed to the south within hours of hearing the news, despite being past the age of an active reservist. She also talked about the challenges she faced growing up as the only Arab Muslim kid in a traditional Jewish village, the terrorist attack that she survived in Gaza as a child, and the hope that she has for her Muslim-Jewish son and the future of the country she calls home.
Islam is far and away the most pernicious of Satan’s false religions.
Did she serve in the IDF? Has she denounced Hamas?! If not then the he’ll with her.
She better be wearing an iron collar. The muslims ain’t gonna like some uppity woman stepping out of the house.

Triangulating. You heard it here first.
It was actually a very interesting interview. Well worth the time to listen to. Not much about Netanyahu at all.
They are democrat first, last and only. They might mouth a few platitudes to get elected but when push comes to shove they will vote in favor of murdering people in order to advance their democrat power grab.
The mohammedans are the same way. It is, after all, a tenet of their religion to lie like democrats.
Bari Weiss should probably move to Israel and marry a man (instead of the women she’s “married”) and have children. Her clock is about to run out.
I’m not saying the woman’s answers aren’t genuine but the interviewer is feeding her answers phrased as a question, and being none too subtle about it.
Who thinks up these delusional crap headlines?
