He recounts how he distributed hand-drawn GPA and goal charts to groups of kids in Brandon and how decades later, some still knock on his door asking for them.With sharp insights on responsibility, social structure, and staying active in aging, Charles speaks to the power of purpose. His personal battles—including surviving cancer—add emotional weight to his belief that independence, positivity, and self-discipline are key ingredients for long-term success. ✅ Top 3 Highlights:

The government troops [would] come and burn down the villages—kill whoever that they will find. … When I see what happened recently in Israel, where they went and burned down, and shot people—that's exactly what I experienced when I was a child.”When Simon Deng was nine years old, he was kidnapped from South Sudan and brought to the North. He was given to an Arab family as a “gift,” and enslaved for more than three years.“I'm here talking to you as a living proof of the slavery which still exists,” says Mr. Deng.25 years ago, Charles Jacobs helped to liberate tens of thousands of slaves in Africa, and received an award from Coretta Scott King for his work.“We went to the slave redemption sites, and we talked to the survivors who were brought back. And they told us their stories,” he says.Today, Mr. Deng and Mr. Jacobs are cofounders of the newly-formed African Jewish Alliance, which raises awareness about the threat posed by Jihadism.“Hamas is no different than Boko Haram in Nigeria,“ says Mr. Jacobs. ”It's one front in Israel, but it belongs to a global movement. And people need to know that.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

‘Jewish leaders have betrayed, failed our community' | Mideast News Hour with Caroline GlickJewish community leaders have “betrayed and failed” their constituents, according to Avi Goldwasser of the Jewish Leadership Project.

They also talk about the challenges leaders face - their fears of both losing their jobs, harming relations with donors and simply not knowing what to do.Jacobs says that when anti-Semitism rises, a lot of people run away - including Jewish leaders.“They're paralyzed,” according to Jacobs. “They're like deer in the headlights. The train is coming, and they are stuck.”

Although antisemitism in the United States is in significant part an Islamist phenomenon, the great institutions of American Jewry have widely failed to confront this problem, as shown by the example of the Islamic Society of Boston cultural center. What explains this failure? What can be done to fix it?

In an incredible episode packed with unvarnished takes and no punches pulled, Bibi and Sarah talk with international economics authority and financial risk expert, Charles Jacobs. A mathematician who strives always to see things as they are, and not as rendered through bias, Charles is a leading mind on measuring financial risk for international firms using advanced mathematical modeling who's had the honor of speaking before Congress (P.S. It's not as sexy in real life as Tony Stark made it look). In this conversation, we talk about religious extremism in America, the genetic manipulation of plants and animals, the relationships and conflicts between science, religion, and morality, the possibility of secret cabals making global decisions, and so much more. In his debut novel, The Pangaea Solution, Charles explores the growing danger at the crossroads of overpopulation, food shortages, and the ability of small, violent groups to attempt to alter the world based on their misguided beliefs. Facts are what power The Pangaea Solution because everything in it either exists or is being researched for tomorrow's reality: the Christian Identity movement, white-supremacist groups like Aryan Nations, bio-engineered hybrid animals, genetically-mutated plants, weaponization of global weather patterns, and the role of internet commerce in global money-laundering.

We have seen anti-Semitic attitudes, groups, and ideologies throughout the world, but what goes into the thinking behind it? Dr. Charles Jacobs (peaceandtolerance.org), President of Americans for Peace and Tolerance, joins us to examine why people oppose Israel so virulently but are OK with other countries' atrocities. He also looks at why Jews in the West vote for anti-Semitic politicians, and why the UN and many Western governments seem to have it out for the state of Israel. Next, we've heard a lot about court packing in the past few weeks since Amy Cony Barrett's nomination and now acceptance to the Supreme Court bench. Mike Berry (firstliberty.org), General Counsel at First Liberty Institute is here to explain what court packing is, why democrats are so up in arms about this right now, and how activist judges torture legal language. It's constitutional warfare – who will come out on top? John and Producer Steve then sit down to discuss how some far left policies are beginning to or could soon spiral out of control. They look at the far left's attempt to fundamentally transform the country through court packing and eliminating the Electoral College, one-party rule in some states that have literally led to disaster, and woke corporations' critical race theory sessions. John finishes up the show this week with a sobering and sometimes graphic update on religious persecution, in the countries of China, Pakistan, Egypt, Russia, Nigeria, and Kenya.

The defense team for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the accused Boston Marathon bomber, will have to weigh the risks and rewards of putting their enigmatic client on the stand...   "In the trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, more than 50 witnesses have been called to the US District Court in South Boston to give vivid and dramatic testimony recounting four fateful days in April 2013. Victims and experts have appeared in chronological order to piece together the chain of events, helping the jury become all too familiar with phrases like "military-grade explosives," "shrapnel," and "carotid artery." But all this witness testimony has orbited around one central character who has so far remained inscrutable to outside observers and, presumably, the jury. Amid the often agonizing detail of the bombings recounted daily in the courtroom, the thoughts and feelings of Mr. Tsarnaev himself have remained stubbornly elusive. Lawyers on both sides have attempted to drop hints about Tsarnaev throughout the trial, trying to assert his personal level of culpability in a crime that the defense acknowledges he carried out with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, now deceased. Testimony from FBI investigators and cellphone experts has fixated on how the brothers were physically positioned at the marathon finish line: Was Dzhokhar standing next to Tamerlan? Or behind him? Also, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had two Twitter accounts – one of which seemed much more preoccupied with Islam than the other – but was this evidence of a religious radicalism, or was it harmless quotes of rap lyrics and TV shows?" peaceandtolerance.org Americans for Peace and Tolerance is a Boston-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting peaceful coexistence in an ethnically diverse America by educating the American public about the need for a moderate political leadership that supports tolerance and core American values in communities across the nation. Americans for Peace and Tolerance is an organization composed of concerned citizens, academics, and community activists. As Christians, Muslims, and Jews, we are united by the need to keep America hate-free. We believe peaceful coexistence among diverse ethnic populations is only possible if we promote a climate of tolerance and civil society.   Dr. Charles Jacobs is President of Americans for Peace and Tolerance. Jacobs has been widely published, including in The Boston Globe, The Jerusalem Post, and the Encyclopedia Britannica, and he currently writes a column for the Boston Jewish Advocate.  

In light of the ongoing trial of Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, it must be asked: how did this happen and how many more bombers are waiting to strike? Today's guest, Dr. Charles Jacobs, President of Americans for Peace and Tolerance, warned the FBI, 3 years before the Boston Marathon Bombing, that such was likely to happen. If the FBI had listened, 3 deaths and approximately 264 injuries could have been prevented. Dr. Jacobs warns us that our political correctness is a suicide bomb of our own making. How many more Tsarnaev brothers are being cloned right now, radicalized in mosques all over America? Too many.
