Unapologetically Jewish 🇮🇱 Shana Meyerson

Our colleges and universities are no longer institutions of education, but of indoctrination. On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Asaf Romirowsky to discuss The Political Economy of Antisemitism and Israel Hatred in Twenty-First Century America, and how the Jews and Israel have been the targets of a well-funded international campaign to destroy the Jewish State and eventually the West. As they say, follow the money.Anti-Israel campus indoctrination poses a much greater threat to Western Civilization as a whole than most people realize. Asaf has been an activist for honest and balanced academic discourse and a higher education system that focuses on facts instead of hateful and dangerous lies and propaganda.ASAF ROMIROWSKY “OCTOBER 7: THE WARS OVER WORDS AND DEEDS” https://amzn.to/448KRCWAsaf Romirowsky PhD, is the Executive Director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East (SPME) and the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA).

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Iran Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow at FDD, about the war in Iran, the current ceasefire, and how the overthrow of the IRGC may realistically be accomplished to effect regime change and liberate the Iranian people from brutal Islamist repression.It's difficult to say if America is winning this war, but easy to say that we must. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu seized a moment and cannot let this opportunity to recalibrate the balance of power in the Middle East slip away. Perhaps peace in the Middle East lies on the horizon. Perhaps a whole new era and a new world order.Behnam Ben Taleblu is senior director of The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Iran Program, where he oversees the breadth and depth of FDD’s work on Iran in addition to serving as a senior fellow specializing in Iranian security and political issues. For well over a decade, Behnam has supported FDD’s Iran program as a senior fellow, research fellow, and senior Iran analyst. Prior to his time at FDD, Behnam worked on non-proliferation issues at an arms control think tank in Washington.He can be found at:FDD: https://www.fdd.org/team/behnam-ben-talebluX: https://x.com/therealbehnambtYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmEsAFBNkqsOIRffCuJtxMTwyGsTpVy7MFind Shana at:UNAPOLOGETICALLY JEWISH PODCAST: @shanameyersonA PARATROOPER AND A YOGI WALK INTO A BAR..."

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Tinashe Peter, the Unapologetic Zionist. Always a Christian in his soul, Tinashe went through a dark period when he lost connection with God. When he finally came back, his faith was rock solid and his whole life changed. The Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7th, 2023, awakened a new part of Tinashe. A part that felt compelled to take a stand for the Jewish State, and to use the power of his words to fight terrorism, evil, and antisemitism. TINASHE PETER’S BIO, IN HIS OWN WORDS: Born in Zimbabwe, and raised in the United States, I’ve always been an outsider looking in. A search for identity was always the hallmark of my experience, this search led me into the darkest spaces, back into the light. I searched for meaning in everything from drugs to pseudo-spiritualities, yet nothing seemed to satisfy, not even a change of my very own name could give me what the true and living God could. And so, after a lifetimes worth of searching for the truth, the Truth has now found me again, leading me to return back to my name of origin, Tinashe Peter, and along with this Truth, has come the unraveling of the all too often, unpopular opinions that contradict the many lives we are fed on a daily basis by mainstream media outlets.

After 21 hours of high-level negotiations, the United States and Iran walked away with no deal, no extension, and no clear path forward—leaving a fragile pause in fighting on the brink of collapse. With Iran refusing key demands around its nuclear program and Washington signaling its “final offer” is already on the table, the question is no longer if tensions will rise—but how fast and how far.On this episode of The Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson sits down with Israel Undiplomatic co-hosts Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev to break down what comes next: escalation, deterrence, or something far more strategic.
