Israel is relentlessly smeared and demonized, while online "activists" virtue signal without lifting a finger beyond hitting send on their phones. Israel has for decades been answering the call when nations are in distress, and that includes being there in America's moments of need.

This week marked two vastly different days: the commemoration of Kristallnacht, the Nazi pogrom of 1938, which foreshadowed the horrors of the Holocaust, and Veterans Day in America, where we honor all those who have served our nation and opposed evil. The juxtaposition leads us to ask what path we choose, one of those who amplify and legitimize Jew hatred and downplay the Holocaust, or the path of courage and fighting the evils of Jew hate and fascism.

While antisemitism is not new, it is known as the oldest hatred, yet it is a virus that mutates and finds new victims to infect.

We are seeing a surge in antisemitic conspiracies and Jew hatred masquerading as patriotism. It begs the question, why the Jews? 

Since the October 7th massacre, we’ve increasingly seen the vilification of Israel and the Jewish people on the political fringes, but more and more we are seeing certain media personalities looking to mainstream Jew hatred. Just as vocally as we call it out on the antisemitism widespread now on the political left, we must also call it out on the right.

This week, we are joined by Senior Director of Public Policy and Strategy for the CUFI Action Fund, Boris Zilberman. We discuss all the recent developments in the Middle East, the future of the ceasefire, Vice President Vance’s visit to Israel, and what we can expect on Capitol Hill in the coming weeks.

As Israelis rejoiced at the return of the 20 living hostages from Gaza after two years in captivity, families still await the remains of their loved ones who were murdered and their bodies held in Gaza. Tragedy and triumph intermingle constantly in Jewish history, and while we may be looking at the beginning of the end of the war against Hamas, the fires of Jew hatred sparked since October 7th, 2023, will take longer to douse.

In this episode, Kasim discusses how we all must continue to speak up and stand up not just for Israel and the Jewish people, but for the future of America itself.

The world waits for Hamas to decide whether it will accept President Trump’s proposed peace agreement this week, which could mean an end to the war and the return of all hostages.
