Jews Need New Leadership with Brandon Weaver; Passionate Zionist & Political Observer | Season III: Episode 5

05/30/24 • 136 min

Brandon and I get into the weeds of why both American Jewish leadership has failed Jews in America and in Israel, and why Israeli leadership needs a complete overhaul. The sorry excuse for leadership has jerked Israel down a path of capitulation to the needs of the antisemitic West, has fueled the ease of terrorism against Jews in the Jewish homeland, and even during this war, this across the board Jewish leadership is not truly understanding the broad scope of enemies; no, it is not just Hamas that needs to be eliminated.

This episode is not for the sensitive, not for those who need everything sugar-coated, but for those who truly want to understand what went wrong and how to actually fix the grave mistakes so that another Jewish genocide will never occur.

Lone Soldiers, Politics, & Understanding the Hasidic Mindset; Featuring Lilly Schwartz

Lilly Schwartz, a Program & Resource Coordinator at Nevut (https://nevut.org/), was instrumental on the podcast to share the importance of lone soldiers and their role in the IDF.
What motivates someone to join the army that does not have to? What are the challenges?
As a former lone soldier herself, Lilly answers all these questions and much more! We also touched upon politics (of course), and our visions for a safer Israel. Lilly is also proudly married to a former Satmar, and lone soldier. She is close to her in-laws and extended family; thus, we were able to get outside the headlines and delve into a passionate community that many misunderstand, and who are beginning to pivot on Israel and its reality. We left no topic unturned.

The Illegality of On Campus Antisemitism Featuring Shabbos Kestenbaum

It was a true honor to have had on Shabbos Kestenbaum, a proud Zionist who is the bearer of many titles: a student activist and a media contributor; a lead plaintiff against Harvard University, and a lecturer on combating Jew hatred.
Shabbos is an Orthodox Jew who planned on pursuing his collegiate goals of studying religion at Harvard Divinity School. Even prior to the Jewish genocide on Oct. 7th, the school was rife with anti-Israel hate, as Shabbos says in the episode, "one would think no other country exists (for them) aside for 'Palestine.'" But the scale of psychotic Jew hate seen on campus post Oct. 7th was unprecedented.
Students and faculty both participated in intimidating pro-Israel Jews on campus. This scenario was repeated across liberal schools across the nation. However, Shabbos stood up against Jew hate, retained impressive counsel (the case is now going to trial), and even testified in front of Congress. Shabbos is proof that Jew hatred need not be tolerated and that it's high time for Jews to push back strongly.

In this episode, Shabbos goes into great detail of the Harvard environment and the pro-terrorist groups. And I add in some historical background as to when and why anti-Israel sentiment infected liberal schools in America.

It's an episode not to be missed!
