Over the past few months, Caroline has become my favourite rapporter. And I am neither Jewish nor Israeli.

I’m not Jewish but I saw the videos of October 7th. I was absolutely horrified. I’m so sorry that Israel isn’t getting the support they deserve. I support Israel 🇮🇱 ❤️ 🇺🇸

I’m proudly “for Israel”

Vote for Trump if you want this to stop. He supports Israel.

So few actors have the balls this man does.

I am a Christian from Australia I love the Jewish people God bless Israel ✝️❤️🇮🇱

God bless you Caroline. Praying for you and Jewish people and Israel.

Michael Rapoport is a stand up Jew !🇮🇱

Thank you for being here, Caroline ❤❤❤

Michael Rapport, raw but real. I truly enjoyed this interview.l

The last time I heard rappaport, he was trash mouthing Trump and Trump supporters. I hope he is learning the truth about a lot of things, not just Israel. 🙏🏻💙 Love and Prayers for Israel, and for the world 🌎🌍 to wake up.

The day is coming when the whole world will look to Jerusalem, to Israel and honor it as the land and throne of our King. I love the Jewish people and I pray for the peace of Jerusalem ❤🙏

That's right, Caroline, Michael, it is a viscerally painful process in which no mourning is happening and no closure I being reached. It is how I feel, even though I am no more than a Portuguese old lady. Shalom, from Lisbon.

Thank you for speaking out Michael. Glad you're one of our tribe

I dont think that there was an uptick in antisemitism. It was there before, but now people are more comfortable with coming out as antisemitic. That being said, there are many who hate antisemitism and are open about that.

Love, Love, Love Caroline and her brave truth telling ❤❤❤

Yes. Feeling alone. This man SO speaks for people like me. Thank you

Loved the show, Caroline. Michael Rapaport was a great guest. Imagine if other Jewish people with a platform came out like this for Israel? Those that do, I applaud. Those that don’t, I am deleting them from the movies I watch, the news I follow, the music I listen to, the books I read, etc. Life matters, Jewish life lmatters, Israel matters, so, don’t waste my time with your inconsequential actions, rhetoric, music, books, or yellow journalism. Stand for Israel unabashedly.

Thank you for a very good interview. Good luck to Michael Rapaport on his journey to strengthen his Jewish roots. He is a Jew with a big heart.

Great interview. I am a Christian. I support Israel. I distinguish between good and evil. I cannot comprehend how any one can not stand up for Israel after Oct 7th. It is illogical and absolutely evil. I stand with Israel 500%!!

We love you ! ❤❤❤

Caroline, I'm so happy Mike found you and was open to actually listening and absorbing the truth!

The democratic leaders have lost their compass ... Americans have to unite and vote these people out

Thanks Mike for carrying the torch a moment of silence for those suffering from terrorism and hate.

May Hashem bless both of you and Israel from a simple son of Noah, raised and educated as a Catholic to respect Jews, and pursue justice.

Thank you Michael ! A true friend to the Jewish family … thank you, I’m humbled !

Thank you Caroline and Michael.. 🇮🇱💙🇮🇱🙏🇦🇺

I’m less than 10 minutes in and I have chills. The hairs on my arms are standing up. To see Michael Rapaport share that he and his wife came to Israel for the first time in November. I am so moved. What a special neshama and a powerful voice for the Jewish people.

Dearest and beloved Caroline Glick! It is so incredibly important, your program and all that you are doing at this point to stand up for Israel and the Jewish people around the globe. I like to suggest that you in studio facilitate many-numerous folks who are world renowned and celebrities and famous, who can speak up as well for Israel and the Jewish people living all around the world. This diabolic nightmare above and beyond what any words can say, following the October 7th mini-Holocaust, is infuriating and terrifying. Thank YOU for all that you do Caroline Glick ~ AM YISRAEL CHAI 🇮🇱 Respectfully yours with utmost respect, gratitude and affection 📡🇺🇸 Steve Kramer

Great that a celebrity stands with Israel.

We do our best. And your show is so important Caroline

Mike is the best. Thank you for standing up

Thank you Caroline, thank you Michael!!! I religiously following you Caroline! You are the best! Michael, i saw you on PBD podcast He disappointed me, but you were great! Thank you very much for bringing your talant to support Israel and our ppl!

Definition of integrity... what I say = what I do

Great show. I'm glad Michael has seen the sense not to vote, Biden. How any Jew can be pro Palestinian and not support Israel is beyond comprehension.

We have so much respect for the EXEMPLARY Michael Rappaport TZADIQ for his outstanding support, heartfelt LOVE and unwavering publicly vocal BROTHER who’s blown me away for prominent a liberal LEFT who’s HEART was completely opened on behalf of WE THE JEWS, across the world, especially in our GREAT constitutional republic in the USA 🥰 May HASHEM KEEP blessing him and his outstanding family 🕊️🕊️🕊️ WE LOVE HIM DEARLY B”H 💙🤍💙🤍🫶 AM ISRAEL CHAI 🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸🫡 PLEASE VOTE #Trump2024 🗽

This was fun, it's great to see you in conversation, Caroline - it's quite different than when you're talking at the screen. (I'll watch it all but this is really great...). I think it would be important for Michael Rapaport to revisit the notion he never experienced antisemitism growing up, basically until Oct 7, to articulate the denial which makes us proceed through life thinking we're beyond history until history hits us in the face. I've become convinced this is why antisemitism is so perennial and how Jews end up so instrumental to its perpetuation. (It's Spelman College, you were close Caroline - named after Mme Rockefeller (her maiden name))

Caroline, I've been following you for about 20 yrs. Thank you for all that you do.

This man speaks for how I feel. But I’m not Jewish! But still I have such a strong affiliation with Jewish people that I think other friends are disturbed by me. To me it’s about truth. Which is where justice comes from. Yes truth

Caroline I just have to say, Red is your color. You look beautiful. Your channel is my 'Go to channel'. So clear and, to the point. Thank you for keeping me correctly informed

Great interview Caroline. As a non Jewish, not born in America human being, I have to say that one has to admire the incredible intelligence and resilience of the Jewish people thoughout the years. And yes Michael, I stand for Israel and condemn with all my heart what the burchers of Hamas did to your people.

Thank you Caroline and Michael 🙏

Caroline and Michael very proud of you two keep going I will support you all the time.

Great show with Mr. Rappaport.

What an insightful interview ! Thank you Caroline and Michael :-) Love from South Africa ❤

Caroline I am a Christian and I am horrified at what has been happening to the Jewish people. Listening to you breaks my heart but keeps me informed. May God bless you Caroline.

Amazing interview. I stand with Isreal and have been horrified by what I've seen in Michigan. What kind of world do we live in that celebrating something like this is acceptable. I'm heartbroken. Stay strong beautiful Isreal.

I wish more good Jews would have had a similar journey to that of Michael. I started my journey as a better Jew some 8 years ago.

Michael is one of the few celebrities to have the courage and backbone to speak out. Jerry Seinfeld, Deborah Messinger, Tovah Feldshuh, Montana Tucker, and Sheryl Sandberg are the only others who come to mind.

Love you guys ! Praying for Israel ❤

What people SAY and what they DO = 2 separate things!

GREAT PROGRAMMING! ISRAEL, STAND STRONG AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD! KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE PULSE! GOD HAS BLESSED ISRAEL!

Israel is older than 76. For example my mother was born there in 1934 and as far as she was concerned she was born in Israel. Just because the English decided to call it Palestine doesn’t mean the Jews of Israel agreed. My grandparents returned to there ancestral home in the 1920s and there were many Israelis born there before 1948.

Hey Michael... I love my bagel just like you... everything bagel toasted with lox, capers, onions, tomatoes and cream cheese. No lettuce. That's how my mom used to serve it to me as a kid growing up in Brooklyn and I that's the way I love it today. Perhaps we should both be considered Conservative Jews for our bagel choice then, haha? I have also metamorphosized and reevaluated my Jewishness of late as I'm sure you have. Funny that it took antisemitic hate for us to be reminded of the beauty of what could easily be lost without us. Stay well!

I stand with Israel with all my heart

Amazing how such a woke Hollywood actor is for Israel.

Salute to Caroline for recognizing and appreciating the many African Americans who stand with Israel. She is building bridges.

Rappaprt - you are so wise and eloquent....its still so sad to hear about NYC ( New Nzi City) .. all of this hurts my heart like you. And we're so grateful your being outspoken . Ty❤

Unbelievable. So great, Caroline, to have Michael on. The light is shining on the truth of our world. In the midst of all of our angst you two lit up the day.

Vote trump and GOP all the way. Where he lives it doesn't make a difference but sends a message.

Caroline; you are GREAT! It’s a hard job! Thank you!

Brilliant interview 🎉🎉

I am a Christian Gentile who was born and raised in a red state in the United States . On October 6th I was as ignorant as they come. When I woke up the morning of the 7th I was shocked and horrified to see what had happened and was continuing to happen in southern Israel. God had already been working on my heart for a little over a year about getting in his word learning about the history and ideologies of the Middle East so I wasn't completely ignorant just mostly. I had been praying to God to give me knowledge and wisdom and he taught me about israel and the Jewish people. Since October 8th I have been on a life-changing eye-opening heart evolving Journey it is July the 5th and I feel like a completely different person now. I have prayed multiple times and ask God to forgive me for my ignorance and the laziness and unwillingness to know the truth about his promised land or has chosen people. Thank you Jan Barry Jack Amir in so many others for your words of wisdom. I think each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for I don't know that I would have gotten to where I am today without each and every single one of you❤

"Being Jewish matters." I feel it is a great honor that G-d chose each of us to be born Jewish. No slight intended to converts who always had a Jewish soul.

Shalom Michael and Caroline ✡️💙🇮🇱 Am Yisrael Chai Am Yehudi Chai🇮🇱💙✡️

I am SURE I will not vote for Biden.

😢 GROWING UP SCARSDALE Here's some history, while current sorrows are bringing this all back. I was born in 1949. We moved to Scarsdale, New York, in 1956, and I began first grade. We did not play cowboys and Indians all that much but we certainly did play Nazis and Allies. Our fathers had all been in WWII and pretty much to a man didn't speak of it. It was somewhere over there. And had happened an awfully long time ago (all of 10 years)! While our childhoods had their ups and downs, it was beautiful and sunny growing up in a suburb of New York City in our brand-new school as part of the baby boom. We played hide-and-seek and statue. Underlying it all was something called the Holocaust. Many of our friends had heard something happened to their families. They had been killed in some place called Europe 🌍. Europe was someplace quite far away and families being killed was unfathomable to us. TV shows were pretty much cowboys and Indians but to this day I have nightmares of being under attack in my home with bombs going off in my yard. May have come from the newsreels shown at the Scarsdale Plaza Theater Saturday afternoon along with the War of the Worlds. I remember Walter, my friend Nina's father. Walter worked from home, which was an oddity in those days, although many things were oddities and you just accepted them. I remember Walter sitting in his second floor office, a pale, thin man. He often sat with his head in his hands. Other times he just stared. His wife Jeanette was a bubbly South African lady. (Sewth Ewrfricaan). Anyway, she was great fun and her daughter Nina was a good friend of mine, tall and smiling, with dark hair, a beautiful girl. Her younger sister Michelle was smaller, fragile, very slender, beautiful blue eyes and blond hair that curled down her back. Walter would sometimes stare at Michelle, wander over to her, place his hands on her head, kiss the top of her head gently, then wander back as if in a dream. He rarely smiled, but Michelle could bring out some semblance of a smile, then almost a piercing wince of pain. Walter had lost all his family in this thing called the Holocaust. That is what I remember. Somehow I knew the phrase "Never again." I remember being shaken and startled in the 1980s when someone was described to me as being a holocaust denier!?! Never again? Or it's never stopped. I joined a synagogue in the '90s after moving to Seattle, missing my cultural connection to shared rituals of my youth, and began realizing the depths anti-Semitism as friends spoke of guarded schools and places of worship...became aware also of the haven the USA is for the world's Jewish population, second only to Israel in terms of number, although of course not percentage. Also realized how blessed I was to have been raised in a community where it was common to be Jewish. Had I been asked, I would have stated my assumption that each American community was equally divided amongst Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant practitioners. Through the recent DNA testing that's been so popular, I took a shot at it just for fun. I learned through the tests that I have Ashkenazi Jewish dna. So many things now make sense; my ingrained spiritual connection I have with the world community of Judaism is real. We are Israel. Israel population 6.9 m 43% USA 5.7 m. 39% Total world wide 14 million. If Israel is wiped out, which is the stated goal of Islam, wiping out the USA will become the primary goal of Islam. When you have crowds in Australia chanting "gas the Jews," all of a sudden antisemitism is horridly real. We are one 🙏 with Israel. ###

God bless Israel and the Jewish people.

I was mortified by what happened on October 7, during the processing period when it was still happening, and the events afterwards especially the antisemitism that followed. Whatever sympathy I had for the Palestinian cause up until then vanished. The glee, the evil relishing of the protests and the demonic response from the UN Secretary General changed my perspective of the insidious behavior of those I would have expected to be on the right side of history. I lost hope on humanity and doubt if life can be normal again.

I love Michael and I loved this episode. I am new to Caroline but she is wonderful too! עם ישראל חי

It’s all too true! Anything anti-Yahweh, anti-Yeshua, anti-Jew, anti-Israel, anti-American, or anti-family - they hate the Creator and anything He declares right, true, good, virtuous, or moral! #StandWithIsrael! #ShemaYisrael! #AmericaFirst

I am liberal, American, voting democrat, feminist…and I feel very much like Michael. Seeing all that, I felt disgusted. I am and will always be pro Israel.

Michael, you're my kind of guy! We here in Israel love you and appreciate you so much.

Great interview with Michael Rapaport. I am Irish a Christian and I always supported Israel and the Jewish people and I was so shocked at the invasion into Israel by Hamas and the absolute brutality of Hamas and their associates on Oct 7th on Israeli civilians. I was also shocked and depressed at anti-Israel in US in Ireland and all over Europe. The hostility of most of the western media towards Israel allied with Islamist pro-Palestine propaganda is scary. Yes one of the best interviews you did was with John Spencer it was a great education for me and I learned so much. Thank you Caroline and Godblese you all in Israel❤. .

You both are awesome and refreshing rockstars! Thanks for the laughs and proud honest Jewish vibes!

God. Bless you, Michael.You're the best love you Good show🇺🇲❤️🇮🇱

Welcome to reality Michael. I can’t help thinking of Plato’s cave allegory. He has emerged into the daylight of reality.

this is great; i love you folks

So it is possible to be cured of TDS.

Michael cheers us up!

Good going, Michael!

thank you for all your hard work!

His Jewish neshama was awoken by this crisis. He feels his Jewishness now in his bones. He may very well be a Cohain as he is a Rappaport, a common surname of Cohanim.

BETTER WORK TO GET SCHUMER OUT OF SENATE

Loved this show, it resonated with my heart for Israel and the Jewish people so much!!! Blessings to you all. Your in my prayers every day 💙💙💙🇮🇱🇮🇱🙏 and I'm not even a Jew.

12:40 When I was 5 in 1968, a little girl on my street in Massachusetts suddenly screamed at me “You killed Christ!” I didn’t know what she meant just that it was scary and I’ve never forgotten it.

I'm not sure I was a fan before covid but became one! Total respect

I absolutely love this guy! Gd bless you! You give me courage.

Great interview 😊

Thanks to you both for this episode, loved you in Copland....

I respect Michael Rapaport for being always raw, direct, and no filters

The most magical country in the world ! A History going back 3,300 yrs !

Thanks for this great show! Also, so fun to hear Caroline laugh🩷

Great show. I love Michael, he is such a great ambassador for Israel and Jews.

MIichael and Caroline AMEN 💯

Luv ya Caroline, from a Texan!

There is such a beauty to Michael Rapport and his love for Israel and for Judaism.What a great interview.

Enjoy the rappaport report and Caroline is top line.

I have more admiration and respect for Michael after hearing this. He admits to his limited understanding and knowledge of Israel and the history. It's a beginning for him, and he's hungry for truth. May the Lord guide him as he seeks and may he ultimately understand that it was God's plan that Christ would be crucified and that it's God's desire that Jew and Gentile would believe.
