The keffiyeh is the accessory, social media is the location, and moral licensing is what keeps the party going.

Josh Szeps joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about Israel, Gaza, antisemitism, Zionism, Jewish identity and why the debate has become so exhausting and distorted. We talk about whether Jews outside Israel are being forced to answer for the Israeli government, what anti-Zionism really means, the failure of the peace process, Netanyahu, Gaza, drones, Palestinian leadership, the pressure to “circle the wagons,” and whether it is possible to criticize Israel without giving ammunition to people who hate Jews. Josh Szeps hosts one of the biggest shows on Substack, Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps, where he has funny, bullshit-free conversations with people like Sam Harris, Jimmy Carr, Bari Weiss and Mark Normand about subjects that the mainstream media fails to discuss honestly. He has been on Joe Rogan's show seven times, he was a founding host of HuffPost Live in New York, then went on to get cancelled from his own top-rating talk radio show on Australia's national public broadcaster. He's a columnist for Australia's most prestigious newspaper, the Australian Financial Review, and a major media figure Down Under. https://x.com/joshzepps?lang=en https://uncomfortableconversations.substack.com/about Chapters: 00:00 Intro and Josh Szeps joins the show 03:06 Josh's background, Australia, and his previous Israel controversy 07:12 Jokes, parenting, kids, porn and the internet 12:59 Antisemitism, Australia, and the post-October 7th climate 15:36 Anti-Zionism, Israel's legitimacy, and the meaning of a Jewish state 22:07 Palestinian refugees, Arab countries, and the right of return 27:26 Gaza, drones, October 7th, and whether Israel had another choice 30:29 Josh's controversial “abandon Israel” column 38:16 Circling the wagons, Jewish identity, and criticizing Israel from the diaspora 47:58 Anti-Israel backlash, boycotts, and Jews being blamed for Israel 54:16 Kristof, the dog allegations, and the difficulty of discussing ugly claims honestly 01:08:35 The flotilla, Israeli detention, and skepticism toward activist claims 01:11:23 War crimes, double standards, history, and modern technology 01:13:05 Uyghurs, Kurds, ethno-states, and why Israel gets singled out 01:17:00 Media collapse, audience capture, and trying to have sane conversations 01:18:29 Finkelstein, complexity, and final thoughts

May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), which annually celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States.  As JAHM concludes, I am very excited that singers, songwriters, and bandmates Max Bartos & Jake Kitchin are the final guests on this Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar special series!  Max is New York's resident motherfolker! His folk and Americana music pairs introspective lyricism with anthemic folk-rock energy. As the frontman of Max Bartos and the Motherfolkers, the crafts songs are rooted in storytelling and emotional honesty, with a modern acoustic sound shaped by influences such as Mumford & Sons and Noah Kahan. His latest release, Waiting At The Crossroads (2025) captures a defining chapter in his artistic evolution, expanding his folk and Americana foundation with richer dynamics and a more confident, fully realized identity.   Fresh off a 30-date U.S. tour with The Misfit Toys, he continues to build momentum on the road. This spring, he joined acclaimed singer-songwriter Brendan James as direct support on a 14-date national tour from March 11 through April 1, further cementing his reputation as a compelling and emotionally resonant live act. Recently signed with Noble Steed Music, Max is steadily carving out his place in the modern folk landscape through intentional songwriting, immersive performances, and a growing catalog that connects deeply with listeners.Jake Kitchin has had a passion for the arts ever since he was young. Having grown up as a professional actor in New York City with a deep love for tap dancing, he has had the opportunity to work with people such as Steve Martin and Walter Bobbie. In 2023, he graduated magna cum laude with a BFA from Marymount Manhattan College. In 2020 and 2021, he was honored to sing on stage at Madison Square Garden during The Eagles' Hotel California Tour. In addition to performing as an actor, Jake is also a skilled multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. He plays guitar, mandolin, and bass, drawing inspiration from folk, blues, bluegrass, jazz, and classic rock. He currently plays mandolin live and in the studio for Max Bartos and the Motherfolkers, a folk/bluegrass-inspired project. In Spring 2025, Jake released his debut album - a collection of jazz standards titled On a Clear Day. He is currently preparing to record and release an album of his original folk music.On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Max Bartos & Jake Kitchin shared how they met, how they deal with antisemitism and anti-Zionism in the music industry and on social media, and how they opened for Rita Wilson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Support the crowd justice campaign. (Legal challenge against the IHRA's free speech restrictions on Israel- right to protest) https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/leg... The British state is increasingly targeting anti-imperialist voices and our party has been directly subjected to this repression. This is no accident. As imperialism decays, political repression and the suppression of free speech intensify, specifically aimed at silencing anti-imperialist messages and organised resistance. The ruling class deliberately conflates opposition to the colonial project of Israel with hatred of Jewish people. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. The IHRA definition of antisemitism is being weaponised to suppress Palestine solidarity, criminalise dissent, and erode free speech for anti-imperialists. In this interview on Jedal (Ali Alizadeh), Comrade Ranjeet shares his experiences working within the NHS, alongside a history of our party and the work we do.

"Anti-Zionism" — as told through the narrative of "The Nakba" — transformed a forever grievance into a moral framework that shaped much of the world's response to October 7th, Israel, and Zionism.

On Monday, the New York Times published an opinion column by Nicholas Kristof titled "The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians" — an explicit attempt to draw a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel by alleging that both equally engage in systematic sexual violence. The piece, based on interviews with 14 unnamed Palestinians, cited a Geneva-based NGO calling Israeli sexual abuse a "standard operating procedure" and described, among other things, trained dogs used to sexually assault prisoners. Kristof quoted former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appearing to validate the charges - but Olmert subsequently issued a statement clarifying that he did not, in fact, confirm the column's most serious claims, including that Israeli authorities directed the rape of children or that systematic sexual torture is state policy. The morning after Kristof's column appeared, an Israeli civil commission released a 300-page report - built on more than 10,000 photographs, thousands of hours of video, and over 400 testimonies - concluding that Hamas's sexual violence on October 7th was systematic, widespread, and deliberate. The New York Times, which had been told the report was coming months in advance, published it nearly 24 hours after running Kristof's op-ed.  Reporters who spent the day going through Kristof's column claim by claim found it largely unverifiable - no dates, no locations, no names - recycled from dubious sources and in many cases almost certainly false. The deeper question this episode asks is not simply whether the column is fair, but how something like it gets published in the paper of record at all: what is the pipeline, from NGO to press release to Pulitzer Prize winner's byline, that turns unverified claims into fact? And why does that pipeline flow so reliably in one direction?  To answer that, Dan is joined by Matti Friedman, a former AP reporter and editor in Jerusalem, and author of the 2014 Atlantic essay "What the Media Gets Wrong About Israel" - who has spent years documenting the specific mechanisms by which NGOs hostile to Israel have shaped, and in some cases dictated, Western coverage of this conflict. In this episode: - What Kristof's column alleged - Which claims are documented, unverifiable, or implausible - How NGO claims become mainstream coverage - Euro-Med, activist sourcing, and the New York Times - Matti Friedman's warning about Western media - The October 7th sexual violence report and the timing problem - The moral equivalence at the heart of the piece - The cost to Israel  This episode was sponsored by Birthright: Invest in the Jewish future today at onetripchangeseverything.com.

Antizionism is spreading like wildfire. On May 17, Stop Antizionism organizes a world symposium with Ben Shapiro as the keynote speaker www.stopaz.org/symposium .Co-founder Naya Lekht tells us about the symposium and the need for the organization Stop Antizionism www.stopaz.org .

In this powerful video, we expose how the recent anti-Israel march through Flatbush, Brooklyn — a heavily Jewish neighborhood — reveals the ugly truth: Anti-Zionism is not about “occupation” or “policy.” It is pure, unfiltered Jew-hatred marching straight into Jewish communities.We break down how this hatred didn't start on October 7th. It was engineered decades ago by the Soviet KGB as part of a deliberate psychological warfare operation. Former Romanian intelligence chief Ion Mihai Pacepa and KGB defectors reveal how Yuri Andropov's team created the “Palestinian” national identity from scratch to weaponize Jew-hatred across the Islamic world and turn it against Israel and the West.You'll learn:How the PLO and Palestinian National Charter were manufactured in MoscowWhy “From the River to the Sea” is a call for Jewish genocide, not coexistenceThe connection between Soviet strategy, modern campus protests, and the global intifadaThe march through Flatbush wasn't random. It was the latest chapter in a long war against the Jewish people. The mask is off — anti-Zionism is the new face of antisemitism.If you want to understand the real forces behind the explosion of Jew-hatred in the West and why this battle is existential for both Israel and the free world, watch until the end.This is not just about Israel.This is about civilization itself.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

Adam Louis Klein is a PhD student in anthropology at McGill who became one of the leading voices against antizionism after October 7. He was in the Amazon jungle doing fieldwork when the attacks happened. When he returned and refused to stay silent, he was immediately labeled a Zionist and told he had no future in his field. Instead of backing down, he built a movement. In this episode, Adam explains why antizionism is its own category of bigotry, distinct from antisemitism but equally harmful, and why naming it matters more than debunking individual claims. He lays out a practical framework for how to respond when you're hit with terms like "colonial," "apartheid," or "genocide," and why the key is boundary-setting rather than fact-checking. We cover: Real-time role play: what to say when someone claims Israel is colonial, genocidal, or apartheid Why calling something antisemitism often backfires and what to say instead How antizonism functions as a moral identity, not just a political position What Jewish antizionism actually is and where it comes from The role of legacy institutions, philanthropy, and academia in changing the narrative Adam's movement, MAAZ Action (mazaction.org), offers free trainings — 1 to 2 hours — that communities, synagogues, and corporations can access right now.

Vlad Khaykin is the Head of North American Advocacy for the Simon Wiesenthal Center (and a former ADL veteran). He approaches antisemitism the way a scientist approaches a virus: studying its architecture, its mutations, and why it keeps infecting new hosts across centuries. This is an episode where you'll learn a tremendous amount about antisemitism's latest "mutation" - Anti-Zionism. Anti-Zionism isn't an abstract debate — it's an ideology with a body count, and millions of living Jews can tell you exactly what it looks like when it wins. Vlad also makes the case that internalized antisemitism is one of the most pressing problems facing the Jews today.

Political scientist, author, and one the foremost authorities on Gaza, Norman Finkelstein, returns to Bad Faith to debate how the left should mange the political right's dominance within the anti-Zionist, pro-Palestine movement. With huge platforms and enormous influence, figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Marjorie Taylor Greene have become the dominant Israel-critical voices in the United States. But what are the implications of that given that they embrace politics and conspiracy theories not shared by the left? What obligation do leftists like Norm have to distance themselves from these figures -- even though they have become some of the few hosts that still invite leftists on to their platforms? Also, Finkelstein addresses the long-standing contraversy over his critique of BDS. Norman's forthcoming book is Gaza's Gravediggers: An Inquiry into Corruption in High Places (OR Books, 2026) https://orbooks.com/catalog/gazas-gravediggers/ Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

In this important conversation, Laurie Cardoza-Moore sits down with journalist Dexter van Zile of the Middle East Forum to discuss Islamism, anti-Zionism, antisemitism, and the growing ideological crisis facing the West. Together, they examine how anti-Israel narratives are spreading through media, institutions, higher education, and even influential Christian voices.This episode goes beyond politics to confront the deeper moral and spiritual battle at work. Dexter explains why antisemitism is contrary to the Christian faith, why truth must be defended with courage, and why Christians cannot ignore the stakes for Israel, the Church, and Western civilization.If you care about biblical justice, moral clarity, and the future of the West, this is a conversation you need to hear.00:00 The Same Strategy Used Against Israel Is Now Used Against the West00:33 Welcome to Proclaiming Justice with Laurie Cardoza-Moore01:07 Introducing Dexter van Zile of the Middle East Forum01:48 Christian Influencers and the Rise of Antisemitic Narratives03:13 Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Mainstreaming Extremism04:10 Why Young People Are Tuning Out Holocaust Warnings05:32 How “Open Society” Ideology Is Undermining Western Civilization06:09 College Indoctrination and the “Settler Colonialism” Narrative07:01 October 7, Campus Antisemitism, and Students for Justice in Palestine07:52 Islamism and the Growing Global Influence Network08:26 Catholic Converts, Tucker Carlson, and the Heritage Foundation Debate09:02 Catholic Doctrine, Islam, and Theological Differences11:23 Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Consequences of Islamist Ideology12:13 “Christ Is King” — Why Antisemitism Contradicts the Christian Faith14:50 Catholic Teaching on Antisemitism and the Legacy of the Inquisition16:03 Does Catholic Doctrine Support Israel's Right to Exist?17:22 Anti-Zionism and the Spiritual Crisis in Western Christianity18:23 Biblical Zionism and the Question Jesus Was Asked by His Disciples19:25 Martin Luther, Church History, and the Roots of Christian Antisemitism20:05 Qatar, Media Influence, and Anti-Israel Messaging21:13 Billions in Qatari Funding and Its Impact on Western Universities22:59 Antisemitism as a Political Weapon in the Middle East23:10 How Anti-Israel Propaganda Became Anti-Western Propaganda24:20 BLM Narratives, Police Demonization, and Political Manipulation25:25 The Muhammad al-Dura Story and Media Disinformation26:10 Islamism and the Human Rights Crisis of the 21st Century27:03 Islamism as Modern “Settler Colonialism” in Europe28:00 Should Islamist Extremists Be Allowed Into the United States?29:16 Islamist Networks and Mosques in the United States30:08 Saudi Funding and the Radicalization of American Mosques31:19 Dearborn, Michigan and the Rise of Hezbollah Support33:04 The BDS Movement and Anti-Israel Activism in Churches33:59 What Must Be Done to Confront Islamist Influence35:16 The Abraham Accords and the Fight for Middle East Modernization36:30 Anti-Israel Propaganda in Dearborn Community Events38:21 Why Jewish Americans No Longer Feel Safe in Certain Cities39:40 Evangelical Christians Standing Against Islamism40:38 Anti-Israel Activism and Political Leadership in Dearborn42:29 The Murfreesboro Mosque Controversy in Tennessee44:02 Can Islam Reform?

What if we're looking at the wrong historical comparison? When antisemitism rises, many people immediately think of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. But what if a closer parallel is something far less discussed — the Arab world in the 1940s and 1950s, just before nearly one million Jews disappeared from the region? In this episode of Proudly Jewish, Rabbi Eyal Bitton explores a largely forgotten chapter of history: the disappearance of ancient Jewish communities across the Middle East and North Africa — communities that had existed for centuries, and in some cases, millennia. Through historical examples and current events, this episode examines: The warning signs that preceded the Jewish exodus from Arab lands How hostility toward Israel often translated into violence against local Jews Why “antizionism” has historically not remained separate from antisemitism and what lessons this history may hold for today. From Iraq to Egypt, from Morocco to Yemen, an entire Jewish civilization vanished within a single generation.The question is not only what happened then — but whether we are recognizing similar patterns now.

Perhaps the only thing more contentious than the definition of antisemitism is the definition of antizionism; when is criticism of Israel legitimate, and when is it hateful? In this episode, Noam and Mijal look to Adam Louis-Klein for answers. In the aftermath of October 7th, Adam committed himself to defining and fighting antizionism, using the tools of academia. But is it working? Adam Louis-Klein is a writer, philosopher, and anthropologist completing a PhD in Anthropology at McGill University. He is a Postgraduate Fellow at the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and founder of the Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ).

Rabbi Marc Schneier and host Andrew Cuomo discuss the exponential rise of anti-semitism and the shifting political landscape regarding support for Israel. The Rabbi argues that anti-Zionism is indistinguishable from anti-semitism, warning that inflammatory rhetoric and labels like "genocide" or "apartheid" directly incite physical violence against Jewish citizens. He highlights a widening rift within the Democratic Party, suggesting that Jewish voters may soon find their liberal leanings at odds with the party's mainstream stance on Israeli security. Despite these modern threats, Schneier concludes with a message of resilience, asserting that the sovereignty of the State of Israel ensures the Jewish people are no longer the defenseless victims they were throughout centuries of historical persecution.

Iran's Supreme Leader is dead.After coordinated US-Israeli strikes, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — the man who led a regime devoted to Israel's destruction — is gone.What does this mean for Israel?For the Middle East?For the Jewish people?October 7 was meant to ignite a regional war and isolate Israel. Instead, we may be witnessing the weakening of the very forces that sought Israel's erasure.In this episode, Rabbi Eyal Bitton explores:• The ideological role Iran played in funding Hamas and Hezbollah• The difference between the Iranian regime and the Iranian people• Why normalization with Saudi Arabia may not have stopped• What this moment means for Jewish identity and Jewish pride• Why Israel's permanence matters for Jews everywhereFor 2,000 years, the Jewish people lived without sovereignty. The destruction of Israel would mean the destruction — or expulsion — of half the world's Jews. This moment may signal something very different. A new Middle East. One that lives with Israel — not against it.

The goal of a healthy argument in educational settings is to help one grow, learn, strengthen relationships, and gain new perspectives. On this week's Adapting, Abi Dauber Sterne and Robbie Gringras share their research of anti-Zionist Jews across the U.S. in conversation with David Bryfman, with the goal to reduce alienation, deepen understanding, and support healthier argument within the Jewish community. Their discussion leads the three of them to wrestle with questions such as: Should institutions display an Israeli flag even if it risks alienating some Jews? Are all welcome in every Jewish organization, even if their views offend or denigrate others? This episode will challenge you, and that's exactly why it's worth a listen. Learn more about For the Sake of Argument at forthesakeofargument.orgLearn more about The Jewish Education Project at jewishedproject.orgThis episode was produced by Miranda Lapides and Rina Cohen Schwarz.

In this conversation, Zoe Booth and Shany Mor discuss the complex interplay between Australia's reputation in relation to Israel, the impact of anti-Israel activism, and the cultural and intellectual anxieties that contribute to anti-Semitism. They explore the role of guilt in Western society, the challenges of identity and belonging in multicultural contexts, and the evolution of political discourse. The discussion also touches on the dynamics of radicalization, the nature of prejudice, and the future of democracy, particularly in the context of Israeli society and global fertility rates.

Spike Lee was recently spotted at the NBA All-Star Game wearing imagery associated with the Palestinian flag — including the now-infamous upside-down red triangle symbol that has circulated widely online since October 7th.In this episode of Proudly Jewish, Rabbi Bitton explores what that symbol represents, why its normalization in celebrity culture should concern everyone, and what it reveals about the post–October 7 wave of pro-Palestinian activism. Rabbi Bitton also address a common accusation Jews hear today — that we are “playing the victim” — and explain why Jewish identity has never been rooted in victimhood, but in resilience, pride, and peoplehood. This is a conversation about antisemitism, antizionism, public symbols of hate, and the moral clarity demanded by this moment.

Andrew Pessin joins me again to trace the 19th-century ideas that made political Zionism feel almost inevitable—emancipation, nationalism, Marxism, Darwinism, and the rise of modern racial antisemitism. From there we unpack The Protocols of the Elders of Zion: what it claimed, where it came from, why it spread, and how conspiratorial antisemitism still echoes in the way Israel and Jews are talked about today.We also discuss why it was so hard for many Jews to “see the writing on the wall” in real time, how antisemitism shifts forms across eras, and Andrew's new project: the Institute for the Critical Study of Anti-Zionism.Topics include:Why the 1800s set the stage for ZionismEnlightenment-era “emancipation” and its limitsNationalism and the “state within a state” fearDarwinism, “scientific racism,” and modern antisemitismThe origins and influence of ProtocolsHow conspiracy thinking mutates and survivesAndrew's Institute for the Critical Study of Anti-Zionism#zionisme #rabbi #herzl #israel #palestine #gaza #holocaustremembrance #trump

Noa Tishby, Israel's former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism, discusses the global rise in hatred and violence against Jews and explains why she believes anti-Zionism is inherently antisemitic.The actress and best-selling author reflects on the recovery of the body of the last October 7th hostage, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the state of the peace process in Gaza, and the U.S. response to protests in Iran.Tishby talks about how antisemitism has evolved since the establishment of Israel and where the line is between valid criticism of the Israeli government and antisemitic vitriol that questions the country's existence.She assesses the threat of antisemitism in the U.S., comments on the controversy on the right over Tucker Carlson's interview with antisemite Nick Fuentes, and voices concerns about the left's embrace of anti-Zionism exemplified by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, The Tepper Foundation, Peter and Mary Kalikow, Pritzker Military Foundation, Cliff and Laurel Asness, Katharine J.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Lazar Focus. Each Friday, join host diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. Since October 7, 2023, there has been a focused and intense campaign to paint Zionism as a supremacist, racist, and inherently violent movement that has no place in academia, popular culture, or public life in the West. Jews and supporters of Israel usually label such attacks as antisemitism, since they often take old tropes about Jews and apply them to Israel. Anthropologist Adam Louis-Klein, who emerged from the Colombian jungle on October 9 and found himself under attack from colleagues for his support of Israel, is leading the effort to cast anti-Zionism as a hate movement that seeks to deny Jews a place in the public square on their own terms by portraying Zionism as the root of much of the world's evil and violence. Louis-Klein applies his critical lens to anti-Zionism, examining its roots in Nazism, Islamist ideology, and Soviet propaganda. He unpacks terms like "settler-colonialism," "genocide," and " apartheid," and explains why the anti-Zionists chose those loaded words in their attack on the Jewish state. Lazar Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by Ari Schlacht.

Author Izabella Tabarovsky—a scholar of Soviet antizionism and contemporary antisemitism, writer, journalist, and the author of Be a Refusenik: A Jewish Student's Survival Guide—joins host Steven Shalowitz from her home in Jerusalem to explore the Soviet origins of modern anti-Zionism and why those ideas echo so loudly on campuses today. Born in 1970 and raised in the USSR, Tabarovsky recounts what it meant to live with state-sponsored "anti-Zionism" that functioned as a sophisticated system of discrimination against Jews, from schoolyard humiliation to university and career barriers.

Is Antizionism the new common denominator of the left?
