In this one-off interview, TJI's Editor-in-Chief Deborah Stone speaks with Sir Mick Davis and Mike Prashker, founders of The London Initiative—a global network connecting Jewish leaders across the diaspora. They discuss the threat of illiberalism in Israel and what the diaspora's role should be in defending Israeli democracy. Ashamed to Admit returns in January 2026 with Tami Sussman and a soon-to-be-announced co-host. Watch the episode in video: https://thejewishindependent.com.au/revi...
