Jewish Diaspora Report - Episode 10

On this episode of the Jewish Diaspora Report, Host Mike Jordan and his wife Emily discuss the recent comments by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau towards a Conservative Minister of Parliament, Melissa Lantsman, and the opposition party.  Does he need to apologize to her, the opposition party and Canadians for suggesting anyone who disagrees with him are "standing with the Swastikas and Racists."

Jewish Diaspora Report - Episode 8

On this episode of the Jewish Diaspora Report, Host Mike Jordan explores the rich and long history of the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish Community) in Africa, a community that has faced many challenges and dangers. In the 1980's and 90's, due to civil wars and coups in Ethiopia, the Israeli Government and many groups aimed to save this African Jewish minority group from targeted attacks, discrimination and possible destruction. Three daring rescue missions were planned to bring as many Beta Israel members to safety in Israel as they could. 

Many years later, the Beta Israel have found a home in Israeli Society and many have thrived. However, these new immigrants to Israel faced many challenges as a visible minority within Israeli society.

Jewish Diaspora Report - Episode 7

On this episode of the Jewish Diaspora Report, Host Mike Jordan explores the recent comments made by Whoopie Goldberg on The View and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert about the Holocaust and her poorly executed apology. Her ignorant comment ignores the recent Neo-Nazi rally in Orlando where we see the very real affects of ignorance of what Antisemitism really is.  

Is what is happening to Whoopie Goldberg really just another example of how the "Left" and the "Right" of political movements use Jewish issues as weapons against their opponents, like one of our social media followers suggested?  Is this outage over her comments really about Holocaust Education? Are those who are calling out Whoopie really interested in "fixing" Holocaust Education in the world?
