The Betar movement appears to have sprung back to life in recent months. But why is this so threatening to the official World Zionist Organization? Yehuda HaKohen is joined by Ronn Torossian - a key figure in reviving Z'ev Jabotinsky's Betar movement that appears to be experiencing a major come back as a result of the nationalist awakening that's taken place within Diaspora Jewish communities since the events of October 7, 2023. The two discuss the merits of more aggressive Jewish activism, the distinctions between Revisionist Zionist and Sternist thought, and Betar's disqualification from the recent elections for the World Zionist Congress.

The Irgun (short for Irgun Tsvai Leumi, Hebrew for "National Military Organization" ארגוןצבאי לאומי) had its roots initially in the Betar youth movement in Poland, which Jabotinsky founded. By the 1940s, they had transplanted many of its members from Europe and the United States to Palestine. Acting often in conflict (but at times, also in coordination) with rival clandestine militias such as the Haganah and the Lehi (or Stern terrorist Group), the Irgun's efforts would feature prominently in the armed struggles against British and Arab forces alike in the 1930s and 1940s. Irgun was described as a terrorist organization by The New York Times, the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry, prominent world figures such as Winston Churchill and Jewish figures such as Hannah Arendt, Albert Einstein, and many others. The Betar Naval Academy was a Jewish naval training school established in Civitavecchia, Italy in 1934 by the Revisionist Zionist movement under the direction of Ze'ev Jabotinsky, with the agreement of Benito Mussolini. During the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine against the Mandatory Palestine, the militant Zionist group Irgun carried out 60 attacks against Palestinian people and the British Army https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2016-04-17/ty-article/.premium/zeev-jabotinsky-and-the-ethics-of-zionism/0000017f-ef79-da6f-a77f-ff7f6cfb0000 See List of Attacks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irgun_operations Israeli's exhume Jabotinsky's body, & move it from NY, to Mt.

The day was enshrined into Israeli law on March 23, 2005, when the Knesset enacted the Jabotinsky Law “to instill for generations the vision, legacy and work of Ze'ev Jabotinsky, to mark his memory and to bring about the education of future generations and to shape the State of Israel, its institutions, its objectives and its character in accordance with its Zionist vision.” A state memorial service is held every year at the Ze'ev Jabotinsky Tomb on Mount Herzl. The Knesset also holds a special hearing to commemorate the day and IDF bases throughout the country also hold lectures and services to mark the occasion. https://m.jpost.com/israel-news/who-is-zeev-jabotinsky-597238 UK Opens Secret Files About Jewish Terrorists https://www.timesofisrael.com/uk-opens-secret-files-about-jewish-terrorists-in-1940s/ The Story Of Lehi, The Jewish Terrorist Organization That Tried To Form An Alliance With The Nazis https://allthatsinteresting.com/lehi Irgun Leader Menachem Begin became the sixth Israeli Prime Minister, and was also the founder of the Likud party which is now led by Benjamin Netanyahu, and crew.

Jewish inmates obviously knew ahead of time as they then collaborated in the attack and escape. To add to the confusion and panic, grenades were lobbed into the part of the prison which held those mentally unfit. A number of imprisoned Irgun terrorists and more than 100 Arabs escaped but there were troops in the vicinity and fighting resulted. Most of the escapees got away but 8 Jews were killed and 13 captured, many of them wounded. One of the attackers was Eitan Livni, a Pole, the father of Tzipi Livni an Israeli politician. http://www.britishforcesinpalestine.org/attacks/acreprison.html Terrorist attack on the British Goldsmith Officers' Club Saturday, 1st March 1947 Fun Facts Jabotinsky, Menachem Begin, & Theodor Herzl were all Journalists.

Ze’ev Jabotinsky “Jewish Pride and Strength” # 13 Great Jews with Rabbi Jonathan Feldman on Jewish Matters PodcastJews had been the victims of anti-semitism for millennia, Ze’ev Jabotinsky would teach our people to defend ourselves and fight for our lives and for a Jewish State. He created the Revisionist Zionist movement to inspire Jews to take our fate into our own hands, and through the Beitar youth group and the Irgun fighters he tirelessly worked towards Jewish independence.
In this episode, I feature different areas of society and how they are all assets of the state and the elite's agenda. More on the anti-Semitism row engulfing the Labour party in Britain with its leader Jeremy Corbyn. I talk about the Revisionist Zionist groups targeting those challenging the Israeli regime and why and how they are state assets. Populism has really taken hold of politics and I explain why and who's really caused it... Petrol prices hit a 4 year high with possible price hikes in the upcoming Autumn budget. Chancellor Philip Hammond suggested that an eight-year freeze in the levy was coming to an end. I talk about how this plays into the agenda and why public transport and driverless cars are all part of the agenda. 14 million people are in poverty in the UK with 4.5 million of them children, according to new figures. This is the Hunger Games society again. Amazon has been blasted by the Archbishop of Canterbury for not paying enough tax. I talk about why tax is the least of the reasons that Amazon is a monster.
In this episode, I cover Israel, social media censorship, Brexit and Monsanto. Former Labour MP Jim Sheridan has been suspended following comments about Israel, namely, what he calls the ‘Jewish Community’ but actually it’s (Revisionist) Zionist groups. Sheridan was also talking about the anti-semitism row aimed at his former party. Social media giants could be forced to delete extremist material within an hour or face fines under plans proposed by Brussels recently. I talk about what these proposals really mean. Emmanuel Macron has had his say on Brexit. Macron has endorsed a bid by Theresa May's former Downing Street policy chief for a new cross-party 'coalition' of MP’s opposed to a 'no-deal Brexit'. Weedkiller from glyphosate, Monsanto’s often-used pesticide, has been found in children’s breakfast cereal. I talk about the bigger picture behind this story.
Daniel Heller joins us to discuss his book Jabotinsky's Children: Polish Jews and the Rise of Right-Wing Zionism and the big issues it brings up: The rise of the Revisionist Zionist movement in interwar Europe and its relationship with right-wing politics and fascism; Jabotinsky and his ideological and political legacy, particularly in Israel; the importance of youth and youth movements in the history of Zionism and politics broadly speaking; the history of fascism and how it relates to the present; and the implications of studying the history of politics for understanding our own world.
Alan Jules Weberman (born May 26, 1945), better known as A. J. Weberman, is an American writer, political activist/gadfly, and popularizer of the terms garbology and "Dylanology." He is best known for his controversial personal confrontations with the musician Bob Dylan and for his 30-year involvement with the Yippies, a counterculture movement of the 1960s. He was also an activist in the Jewish Defense Organization, said by the Anti-Defamation League to be a militant Revisionist Zionist organization regarded as a branch of Kahanism, but which professes to be a Jabotinskyite organization.A.J. Weberman has written on the life and works of Bob Dylan, leaving college to focus on creating what he calls a word concordance of Dylan's lyrics. Although a strong advocate of Dylan's importance as an artist, he is less supportive of Dylan the man.Weberman's literary analysis of Dylan's work, which he has termed "Dylanology," is centered around Weberman's assertion that, to Dylan, many words have lesser-used meanings differing, sometimes greatly, from their common definitions. According to Weberman, "Rain", for instance, often means "hatred" in a Dylan song. Dylan wrote, "Father of love / Father of rain" in a song where opposites are contrasted.Rolling Stone magazine has called Weberman "the king of all Dylan nuts." They report an incident where Dylan, annoyed by Weberman and his associates who were constantly digging through his garbage, assaulted Weberman outside Dylan's apartment. In a different article, Rolling Stone reports that Weberman, "a man that terrorized Bob Dylan during the '60s," had now "returned to hassle his son," Jakob Dylan. Weberman claimed that the younger Dylan was a heroin addict.Weberman later applied his unusual research methods to Richard Nixon, Norman Mailer, and other celebrities, coining the term "garbology" to describe his methods and writing the book My Life in Garbology. Cultural anthropology anthropologists such as Dr. William A. Rathje of the University of Arizona conduct expeditions analyzing garbage to understand culture.Weberman attempted to expand his "Dylan Liberation Front" into a "Rock Liberation Front", intended to pressure pop musicians into greater political activity.Weberman, along with the Jewish Defense Organization, and JDO chief Mordechai Levy, were successfully sued for libel to the tune of $850,000 by Steven Paul Rombom, a PI arrested for impersonating an FBI Agent. Weberman has also studied the 1963 assassination of US President John F. Kennedy and was employed by the late Congressman Henry Gonzalez of Texas and Senator Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania.[citation needed] Weberman's book on the subject, Coup D’Etat In America, postulates the assassination as part of a coup d'etat led by rogue CIA agents Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis (a contract agent) and David Christ, Head of the TSD of the CIA, angered by Kennedy's failure to remove Fidel Castro from power. The book includes transparent overlays, as in an anatomy textbook, so that the reader can compare the faces of the tramps briefly arrested in Dallas with photos of E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis. Weberman's assertion that Hunt was involved in this action led Hunt to initiate a lawsuit, later dropped. Before his death in 2005, Hunt told his son that he had been involved in the JFK assassination. In 2005, Weberman and other well-known Yippies, including Dana Beal and Pie Man (Aron Kay), joined forces to turn the long-time Yippie headquarters at 9 Bleecker Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side into a counterculture museum. As of 2006, renovation of the building has been partially completed, and a charter from the New York State Board of Regents has been granted. Weberman, who is a member of the Yippie Museum's board of trustees, announced in early 2006, in a typical display of Yippie spoofery, that the museum would house an Institute for the Study of Advanced Political Protest.Recordings of telephone conve
