NEVER AGAIN IS NOW Podcast

Boy George will perform in Israel next month. He stands with Israel and is not capitulating for the BDS movement. So is our guest, Sarah Hildering, who lost her job in the music industry, because she openly stands with Israel. She even had to flee the Netherlands, as she was repeatedly physically attacked and threatened there for being proudly Zionist. She shares her story, and reflects on the recent violence in France and other European countries.

The Shift Alliance campaign is based on the premise thatmany people turn antizionist today because it is ‘cool’. The campaign wants to make antizionists aware of the hatred behind antizionism and seeks to make it socially unrewarding to be antizionist. Paul Goldman tells us more about this interesting approach. He is one of the leaders of Shift Alliance. He is an internationally recognized TV commercial director. Listeners can contact ShlomiRabi for more information or donations at [email protected]

The International Red Cross has a bad reputation with Holocaust survivors. The Red Cross didn’t help the victims in the Nazi camps and looked away from the genocide. I discuss this with Henriette Haas, who is a retired professor of criminology and forensic psychology in Switzerland. She talks about the Nazi sympathizers in the high ranks of the Red Cross during WWII, and how this is ignored by historians. She also discusses the current antisemitism at several international humanitarian aid organizations in Geneva.

Social psychologist Aaron Pomerantz looks at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and antisemitism through the lense of culture. In Western culture, social worth is based in dignity, in Middle Eastern culture it is based on honor. EliminatingIsrael and Jews can restore self-worth in an honor-oriented mindset.

Delegitimizing the Jewish State is growing dangerously popular in Western academia and on social media. I discuss the roots of this with the renowned scholar of Sovietantizionism and contemporary antisemitism, Izabella Tabarovsky. She is a Fellow with the Comper Center for the Study of Antisemitism and Racism at the University of Haifa. She is the author of the book Be a Refusenik: A Jewish Student’s Survival Guide (2025).

She writes about politics, history, economics, business & technology in her Substack, Claire’s Substack https://substack.com/@claireambinderkanner.
