Soothing Semantics

This week, part 2 of my episode with Harris Sultan drops on the Soothing Semantics Podcast. In part 1, Harris and I discussed his views as an atheist and Zionist and why he chose to leave Islam as an immigrant to Australia of Pakistani Origin. Harris explained why he supports the Jewish right to their homeland but also feels that the status quo cannot continue as Islam continues to grow and the anti-Israel sentiment grows with it as a result. Harris therefore feels that creating 2 states is the best path toward peace between the Israeli's and Palestinians and I disagree. Make sure to watch part 1 if you haven't yet and give this episode a listen as we delve into the future of Israel and how Palestinians play in a role in the land's future.

Harris Sultan, born in Pakistan to a religious Muslim family, moved to Australia and later became an atheist. He came across books from Charles Darwin and other atheists and after reading those books, concluded that religion and g-d were fictional ideas and began his journey into non religion. I recently came across Harris's YouTube channel when I saw his title of ex Muslim atheist and had to hear what he had to say regarding the war. After watching the video and hearing him say he was a Zionist, I had to watch more of his content. He is extremely well versed in history, understands religion and human nature on a very deep level and articulates his points in ways I was very impressed by so that is exactly why I've decided to bring him on for a schmooze. I split the episode into two parts because I had some trouble with zoom so the 2nd part will be out next week. We touched upon the war, the overall conflict, why Harris supports Israel, and what both sides need to do moving forward to achieve any kind of peace.

In the last 3 weeks, I wanted to take the time to give credit to 3 Israeli brothers who grew up in the West Bank in Israel, the wild west of the country and have all decided to become pro Muay Thai and MMA fighters. This week, I had the pleasure to sit down with Kibedy, the oldest Gordon brother and the one who brought the family into the fight game. Kibedy just won his recent fight and plans to join the UFC in the very near future.

All of them proudly representing Israel during a very challenging time for Jews both inside and outside of Israel. Dive into this episode with me as we discuss Ahavat Hashem's Journey from growing up in the West Bank to becoming a pro Muay Thai fighter and his long-term goal of becoming a pro MMA fighter in the UFC.

This week, I sat down with fellow Real Estate agent Danny Horowitz who has been in the business for 7 years and works in South Florida as a residential Realtor. There was a recent lawsuit against the Real Estate industry claiming that agents are overpaid and that there needs to be a change in the way commissions are paid. Tune in as we discuss the lawsuit and what can be expected for the future of both agents and the industry as a whole. Danny and I also discussed the challenges Real Estate agents face and what they can do to overcome said challenges.

This week I had the pleasure of talking to my friend and ethnically ambiguous Jewish friend Tal Oran. He claims not to be Indian but his accent and his knowledge of computers makes me think otherwise. Tal runs a travel YouTube channel called The Traveling Clatt where he tries food from all over the world and gives us a very entertaining insight on how different cultures live their lives. This week, we kept the subject very specific to the war between Israel and Hamas and what we think the outcome will be. 

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with David Alaverdian, an Armenian Israeli pro boxer with an undefeated 8-0 record. We discussed his career as well as our thoughts on the current war and the need to eliminate Hamas.

This last week, Israel was infiltrated by the terrorist group Hamas which resulted in the murder of over 1400 civilians including men, women, and children, as well as the kidnapping of almost 200 people. In response, Israel began a bombing campaign on Gaza. The war is still ongoing but I had the pleasure of sitting down with Druze Israeli pro MMA fighter Sean Pero. The Druze are an ethno-religious group who live in parts of Lebanon, Syria, Israel and other Arab countries who don't have their own country but are loyal to their host nation. The Druze in Israel are very proud Israeli's who are required to serve in the IDF and have been an integral part of Israel's history and success. Sean is a great fighter and an even greater person who I'm glad I had the opportunity to speak with. Enjoy the episode!

This week has been a tragic week for Israelis, both Jewish and not Jewish who have been mercilessly killed, r*ped, and kidnapped. This has been the worst attack on Jews and the State of Israel since the Holocaust and we are now in the midst of all an out war with the hamas terrorist group. This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with a man who not only shares my name but is an amazing Israeli pro MMA fighter who is working his way to the UFC. A few months ago, Rafi was scheduled for a fight with a Kazakhstani who sent Rafi an Instagram DM asking if he likes German music and telling him he'll burn like the Nazi's burned the Jews. Rafi went on to KO Borat and send him back to his village with Azamat Bagatov and his brother Billow without having a chance to rescue Pamela Anderson.
