How We Fought Against

Six NGOs, six organizations that claimed to support human rights, but in reality? They have been supporting and enabling terror! While the world seemingly denies this connection, NGO Monitor has been tracking and warning of these connections for the last decade. On this very special episode of 'How We Fought Against ...', we are joined by Olga Deutsch, Vice-President of NGO Monitor. 

A lawyer, mayor, and proud unapologetic zionist? These are all descriptions of our guest this week, Mayor and Attorney Gabriel Groisman. Whether in passing the United State's first municipal anti-BDS ordinance or being the first Municipality in the US to codify a uniform definition of antisemitism, Gabriel has a long history of firsts in standing up against antisemitism and BDS, while championing a strong US - Israel alliance. 

Join us this week for an inside look at Gabriel's story.

"There is absolutely nothing that anti-Zionists say that I, as a Soviet Jew, did not hear or cannot find in Soviet literature." ~ Izabella Tabarovsky.

The Soviet Union created the ideological underpinning of the modern anti-Zionist movement, including the infamous 1975 'Zionism is Racism' resolution at the United Nations, an ideological foundation that groups like BDS are built on today. Join our special guest Izabella Tabarovsky Senior Associate at the Kennan Institute (Wilson Center), as we delve into the history of the Soviet Union and how their anti-Zionist propaganda shapes the antisemites of today.

While this episode was filmed before the Durban Conference at the UN, in which 38 countries withdrew, it underscores the importance of remaining relentless in the fight against antisemitism in all its manifestations, including the assault on Zionism.

This month, the United Nations will celebrate 20 years since the infamous Durban Conference in 2001, an event that descended into an unhinged display of Jew-hatred and antisemitism, while giving birth to the modern BDS Movement and campaign to delegitimize the State of Israel. In this special 'How We Fought Against ...' Podcast, we speak to world-renowned attorney Richard Heideman, who as President of B’nai B’rith International in 2001, served as Head of Delegation in Durban. Richard will take you behind the scenes of the Durban conference, discuss its ripple effect on international law today and the lessons to be drawn.

Campuses today have become a central battlefield in antisemitism and those waging assault on Zionism. We know that students are generally at the forefront of this campaign, but what about Jewish and pro-Israel academics, who are being increasingly singled out, intimidated and targeted for antisemitic harassment? Join us this week on our 'How We Fought Against ...' Podcast, as we interview Dr. Joshua M. Karlip, a leading academic from Yeshiva University, on this topic.
