Ethnic Studies sounds like such a warm, fuzzy concept. I learn about you, you learn about me. We foster mutual respect, tolerance, and appreciation for our cultures, traditions, and histories.

Unless you’re a Jew.

What masquerades as a well-intentioned effort to promote co-existence and understanding within the great melting pot we call America, happens to have a very dark underbelly that not only excludes, but demonizes, one minority group.

The one group, in fact, that is the target of more hate crimes than any other, despite comprising only 2% of the American population.

Condescendingly branded as the uber-White, uber-privileged, uber-oppressors, the Jewish people and the Jewish State are literally depicted in many of these Ethnic Studies using age-old antisemitic tropes and blood libels that teach our next generation to not only hate the Jews but to march against them, openly threaten them, and even call for their death and destruction.

Not so warm and fuzzy, is it

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Brandy Shufutinsky dive deep into the cesspool of Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory and discuss how, exactly, these movements that pretend to promote unity and understanding actually radicalize our next generations with divisive and hateful rhetoric

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Ethnic Studies promotes tolerance and understanding of all minorities, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about how our children are being programmed to demonize the Jewish State and the Jewish people and what the downstream effects are of such dangerous indoctrination.

CAMERA, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis shouldn't have to exist. Neither should a whole slew of watchdog organizations whose 24/7 mission is to monitor the relentless anti-Israel bias that plagues the media.

Once upon a time, media objectivity was the standard. Newspapers and broadcasts did something absolutely unheard of today: they just reported the news. Not from the perspective of the left, not from the right. No agenda. And with only one goal: to inform the public of facts.

Weird, right?

These days, every media outlet has an agenda. There is truly no such thing as unbiased reporting or journalistic integrity. And, sadly, one of the most pervasive and predominant narratives is the anti-Israel, anti-Zionist--and, by default, largely antisemitic--one.

The challenges presented by this phenomenon go far beyond the pages of the New York Times or the airwaves of the BBC. They even go beyond politics and diplomacy, and actually foster a hostile and increasingly violent society that threatens the very existence, safety, and security of the Jewish State as well the Jewish people all across the globe.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and David Litman from CAMERA.org discuss the decades-old scourge of anti-Israel media bias, what CAMERA does to recalibrate the imbalances, and why the world so desperately needs accurate reporting.

If you are a yogi or yogini who takes the news that you read or watch at face value, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about how to identify impartial news coverage, how to be a mindful listener, and the importance of constant critical thinking.

The terrorists of Hamas have reportedly agreed to free all remaining Israeli-American hostages (Idan Alexander, Itay Chen, Omer Neutra, Gadi Haggai, and Judy Weinstein) in exchange for 30 more days of ceasefire and an undisclosed number of Hamas terrorists to be released from prison.

Obviously Donald Trump's threats are moving the needle on hostage negotiations. But is it moving enough???

Since the Hamas terror massacre of 10/7/23, the world has seen a repugnant dynamic never seen before in history. Massive swaths of Western Society disgracefully siding with the terrorists and vilifying Israel for their own victimhood.

But it didn't stop there. A vicious and violent wave of antisemitism not seen since WWII has swept the entire world. So-called "social justice warriors" started ripping down posters of Israeli babies and grandfathers taken brutal hostage by barbaric monsters, and using "anti-Zionism" as a thinly veiled excuse to normalize Jew Hatred.

The influencers of Hollywood have remained basically silent. The Jews of Hollywood have remained shamefully silent with the exception of a proud few. The Jews without trembling knees. And Jonah Platt ( @JonahPlattOfficial ) has been right there at the front of the pack.

A proud and vocal advocate for Israel and the Jewish People, Jonah launched the Being Jewish with Jonah Platt Podcast to empower, educate, and explore issues affecting the Jewish community both at home and abroad. Bucking the silence, he has been an important voice in providing rational and relatable content to fight antisemitism and support the Jewish State in its just war on terror.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Jonah Platt discuss Israel and antisemitism and why every voice matters in this battle of good vs. evil.

If you are a yogi or yogini who considers yourself Anti-Israel or Anti-Zionist, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion, understand the many forms that antisemitism takes and how you can be part of the solution. In this yoga world, there is no place for hate.

Doron Keidar has been defending the State of Israel since 2003. First in a combat unit, and then in the IDF Special Forces Reserves since 2017. But it's only in this most current war in Gaza that he has fought two simultaneous battles: the war against Hamas and the Information War, which has been equally brutal.

A convert to Judaism and a lifelong Zionist, Doron lives by the IDF moral code--the moral code of the Jews. His mission in life is to protect and serve, never to kill or destroy.

In this war of good vs. evil, of legitimate warfare vs. terrorism, there has been so much moral confusion. Even a large swath of the "good guys" don't understand who the good guys are anymore.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson and Doron discuss the moral standards of the Israel Defense Forces, what it means to be a soldier of faith, and what it means to have to fight in a war for your own survival.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks there is any moral equivalence between the sadistic Hamas terrorists and the Israel Defense Forces, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about what real-life war actually entails, how religious values change the battlefield, and how the anti-Zionists have it all wrong.
