Israel & Africa: Both a Complex and Promising Relationship: Featuring Olga Meshoe Washington

10/20/22 • 81 min

What is the status of modern Christian Zionism? Does it come from an earnest place?
Olga Meshoe Washington digs deep into this topic that is widely discussed among the Jewish community.
Olga also lends her impressive background - both through work efforts (Club Z, IBSI), and through strong family ties - to educate both myself and the audience on the very complex relationship which exists between many African nations and Israel. Olga provides an eye-opening description of history, politics, and how propaganda was able to seep into legislative and diplomatic decisions.
Additionally, Olga and I delve critically into the tools needed for effective Zionism education - both for Jews and Christians.

Why Zionism Education Needs an Overhaul: Featuring Naya Lekht - Part I

As pro-Israel organizations are multiplying, antisemitism is skyrocketing. Something is off.
Tune in to a dynamic discussion between Naya Lekht, a passionate and informative Zionist, who is the Director of Education at Club Z, and myself. We delve deep into why the Zionism education space has largely been ineffective, what information is actually needed to be shared with both those who are Zionists and those who are not informed properly of the truth.
When Zionists do not know history, proper historical-based terminology, and what the propagandists spew scarily effectively, it actually does more damage.
Luckily, we are also seeing very positive trends in the space, which we address in this episode.
