The most famous and infamous antisemitic movement in history is that of Nazi Germany. Htiler’s Holocaust against the Jewish people—his Final Solution—was the epitome of evil as he exterminated 6,000,000 Jews in a genocidal attempt to cleanse all of Europe of its Jewish population. And it all started with a very careful crafted propaganda campaign. As the world is consumed, once again, with rabid and viral antisemitism, are we seeing the Nazi playbook playing out once more? How new is the New Antisemitism, really? On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, David Hirsh and Shana Meyerson compare and contrast the antisemitism of the Nazis to that of today’s Islamists and populists. 📖 DAVID HIRSH ‘CONTEMPORARY LEFT ANTISEMITISM”: https://amzn.to/4p4rAfM 📖 DAVID HIRSH “THE REBIRTH OF ANTISEMITISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY”: https://amzn.to/4aDgus1 David Hirsh is the Academic Director and CEO of the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism ( ⁨@LondonAntisemitism⁩ ) and a Professor of Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Josh Levs knows legacy media from the inside out. After two decades of working within the walls of left-leaning media outlets CNN and NPR, he finally left and became one of the world’s most prominent news fact-checkers. As he explains, Truth = Facts + Context, and when it comes to mass media and their treatment of Israel, that equation simply doesn’t hold. On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Josh Levs and Shana Meyerson discuss the very deliberate mass media agenda to glorify and whitewash anti-Israel Islamist terror, and demonize and undermine Israel and the IDF. Josh Levs is host of They Stand Corrected, the podcast and Substack newsletter fact checking the news. He spent 20 years on NPR and CNN, where he became lead on-air fact checker. His many honors include Peabody Awards, Edward R. Murrow Awards, and awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Association of Black Journalists. A popular keynote speaker, he has spoken everywhere from the United Nations to Congress, Google, and a wide array of organizations and universities. He won a debate at Oxford. Josh launched They Stand Corrected to provide listeners with concrete facts and expose systemic problems in mainstream media. Many episodes focus on antisemitism and anti-Israel bigotry, demonstrating that news agencies even have rules institutionalizing this bias. The Elie Wiesel Foundation says, “They Stand Corrected is an important contribution to understanding how media bias has turned too many otherwise thoughtful and informed individuals against the Jewish people.” He can be found at: ✍️ SUBSTACK: theystandcorrected.substack.com 🖥️ WEBSITE: joshlevs.com 📸 INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/joshlevs 🎥 YOUTUBE: youtube.com/@JoshLevs ⁩ ❌ X: x.com/JoshLevs 🔗 LINKEDIN: linkedin.com/in/joshlevs/ Find Shana at: ✡️ UNAPOLOGETICALLY JEWISH PODCAST: youtube.com/@shanameyerson 🪂🤸A PARATROOPER AND A YOGI WALK INTO A BAR PODCAST WITH ANDREW FOX: youtube.com/@ParatrooperAndYogi 🇮🇱 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST: tinyurl.com/4225f949 ✍️ SUBSTACK: shanameyerson.substack.com ❌ X: x.com/ShanaMeyerson 👤 FACEBOOK: facebook.com/YOGAthletica 📸 INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/shanaisunapologeticallyjewish Please consider supporting the show 🙏 GoFundMe: gofund.me/9d5262f8 Venmo: @miniyogis Zelle: shana@yogathletica.com And thank you!

Our colleges and universities are no longer institutions of education, but of indoctrination. On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Asaf Romirowsky to discuss The Political Economy of Antisemitism and Israel Hatred in Twenty-First Century America, and how the Jews and Israel have been the targets of a well-funded international campaign to destroy the Jewish State and eventually the West. As they say, follow the money. Anti-Israel campus indoctrination poses a much greater threat to Western Civilization as a whole than most people realize. Asaf has been an activist for honest and balanced academic discourse and a higher education system that focuses on facts instead of hateful and dangerous lies and propaganda.

What is actually happening inside our top universities? On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Andrew Pessin to break down the root causes of rising campus antisemitism, how academic institutions are failing their students, and the concrete policy changes required to fix higher education. The dangerous rise of antizionism, anti-Israel rhetoric, and antisemitism within the academy has reached a crisis point where Jewish and Zionist students and faculty alike feel unsafe, unwelcome, and discriminated against on campus. Andrew Pessin breaks down the problem and offers solutions to create a healthier college experience for everyone. Andrew Pessin is Professor of Philosophy at Connecticut College, and the founder of The Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism (ICSA), a scholarly enterprise to produce and promote critical scholarship on the history, evolution, and contemporary manifestations of antizionism as an ideology, a worldview, and a movement.

ICSA’s members are diverse in every way, including opinion, sharing only the belief that critical scholarship on antizionism is necessary.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Iran Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow at FDD, about the war in Iran, the current ceasefire, and how the overthrow of the IRGC may realistically be accomplished to effect regime change and liberate the Iranian people from brutal Islamist repression. It's difficult to say if America is winning this war, but easy to say that we must. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu seized a moment and cannot let this opportunity to recalibrate the balance of power in the Middle East slip away. Perhaps peace in the Middle East lies on the horizon. Perhaps a whole new era and a new world order. Behnam Ben Taleblu is senior director of The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Iran Program, where he oversees the breadth and depth of FDD’s work on Iran in addition to serving as a senior fellow specializing in Iranian security and political issues. For well over a decade, Behnam has supported FDD’s Iran program as a senior fellow, research fellow, and senior Iran analyst.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Tinashe Peter, the Unapologetic Zionist. Always a Christian in his soul, Tinashe went through a dark period when he lost connection with God. When he finally came back, his faith was rock solid and his whole life changed. The Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7th, 2023, awakened a new part of Tinashe. A part that felt compelled to take a stand for the Jewish State, and to use the power of his words to fight terrorism, evil, and antisemitism. TINASHE PETER’S BIO, IN HIS OWN WORDS: Born in Zimbabwe, and raised in the United States, I’ve always been an outsider looking in. A search for identity was always the hallmark of my experience, this search led me into the darkest spaces, back into the light. I searched for meaning in everything from drugs to pseudo-spiritualities, yet nothing seemed to satisfy, not even a change of my very own name could give me what the true and living God could. And so, after a lifetimes worth of searching for the truth, the Truth has now found me again, leading me to return back to my name of origin, Tinashe Peter, and along with this Truth, has come the unraveling of the all too often, unpopular opinions that contradict the many lives we are fed on a daily basis by mainstream media outlets.

🎥 Watch the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast at https://www.youtube.com/@shanameyerson On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Thane Rosenbaum about the alarming rise of antisemitism and antizionism across the globe. Jew Hatred has been normalized in academia, media, politics, diplomacy, social media and “polite" society. Its manifestations have crossed over into incitement to violence, which is not protected speech. Thane is a legal analyst and international law scholar who explains how far 1st Amendment protections stretch in regards to free speech and when they cross the line. As masses of Americans violently call for intifada and the massacre of Jews, the normalization of terrorist rhetoric against Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel isn't only dangerous, it just may be illegal.
