Ep 98 - The Death of International Law: How We Went Back to Kings and Conquest

Can anyone tell me an answer to this following question: When was the last time "international law" actually stopped a war? Not slowed it down. Not condemned it after the fact. Actually stopped it.I'll wait.The truth is, we've been living in a fantasy. For maybe twenty, thirty years after the Cold War ended, we convinced ourselves that the world had changed. That international law mattered. That the UN meant something. That we'd evolved past conquest and power politics.We were wrong. And now we're paying for that delusion.#JewishPodcast #MiddleEast #Israel #Palestine #Antisemitism #Racism #Genocide #InternationalLaw #UnitedNations00:00 - Intro00:59 - The UN: Captured Since the 1960s02:47 - Russia's Play: USSR 2.004:29 - The Thirty-Year Fantasy05:31 - Back to Kings and Conquest07:05 - The New Power Blocs08:38 - Europe: The Toothless Barker10:31 - What This Means Going Forward12:58 - Final Thoughts

Ep 97 - Antisemitism's New Uniform: How "Anti-Zionism" Became Jew-Hatred's Respectable Disguise

If I told you there's a movement that says one specific ethnic group doesn't deserve a homeland, that demands the dismantling of their one nation state, that justifies violence against them, and that makes members of that group afraid to identify themselves on college campuses... would you call that bigotry?Of course you would.Unless that group is Jews. Then it's called "anti-Zionism." And somehow, that makes it okay.#JewishPodcast #MiddleEast #Israel #Palestine #Antisemitism #Racism #Genocide #Antisemitism #Bigotry00:00 - Intro00:58 - The Old Antisemitism Was Honest02:06 - Enter Anti-Zionism: Antisemitism in a Suit03:00 - The Double Standard Test04:51 - The Language of Genocide Preparation07:04 - When Criticism Becomes Antisemitism09:27 - What Anti-Zionism Looks Like on the Ground11:00 - The Plausible Deniability12:51 - The Historical Pattern14:33 - Why This Matters Beyond Jews15:52 - What Needs to Happen16:51 - Final Thoughts

Ep 96 - When Every Word Means Nothing: How We Killed Language and Why It Matters

What happens when you call everything racist?When every disagreement is fascism? When every policy you don't like is genocide?Answer: The words stop working.

Ep 95 - The Slavery They Don’t Teach: When Muslims Enslaved Europe and Africa

Here’s a question nobody wants to answer:If slavery is an exclusively Western sin, who enslaved over a million Europeans between 1500 and 1800? Who raided Iceland?Who emptied Irish villages?Who castrated African boys at a 60% mortality rate for over a thousand years?The answer is uncomfortable. So it gets erased.#JewishPodcast #MiddleEast #Israel #Palestine #JewishHistory #HistoryOfIslam #IslamicGoldenAge #Slavery #IslamicSlavery 00:00 - Intro00:43 - The Numbers Nobody Mentions01:41 - The Barbary Coast: When Europeans Were the Cargo03:58 - The African Trade: A Millennium of Extraction06:26 - The Zanj Rebellion: The Uprising You Never Heard Of07:25 - Abolition: Who Ended It and When08:45 - Why This History Is Suppressed10:02 - The Modern Silence11:10 - Conclusion

Ep 94 - The Occupation That Must End

“If occupation is the root of the conflict, then this whole story should fall apart in under 60 seconds.”Because the ‘occupation’ everyone screams about… wasn’t even the first one. And the ones before Israel? Nobody protested those. Let’s talk about the occupation they never mention.#JewishPodcast #MiddleEast #Israel #Palestine #JewishHistory #Occupation #OccupiedTerritories #WestBank #Gaza00:00 - Intro01:04 - 1948: Israel declares independence. 01:54 - 1964: The PLO Joins the Party02:21 - Then Came 196703:01 - The REAL Occupation: Indoctrination03:49 - And Yes, It Needs to End04:30 - Final Thoughts
