In this gripping and profoundly informative conversation, I sit down with Izabella Tabarovsky, a leading scholar of Soviet anti-Zionism and contemporary left antisemitism. Tabarovsky is a Senior Fellow at the Z3 Institute for Jewish Priorities and a Research Fellow at both the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and ISGAP.

Drawing from her years of research on Soviet propaganda and its legacy, Tabarovsky unpacks how virulently antisemitic forms of "anti-Zionism" were central to Cold War-era Communist ideology—and how many of these same tropes and tactics have re-emerged in today’s far-left discourse. From the Soviet Union’s deployment of conspiracy theories linking Zionism to Nazism to the global campaign that culminated in the infamous 1975 UN Resolution declaring Zionism a form of racism, we trace how these narratives were manufactured, exported, and normalized.

Tabarovsky argues that, to quote William Faulkner, “the past is not dead, it is not even past.” Soviet-era antisemitic anti-Zionism, she shows, has left behind a “toxic ideological brew” that still shapes public conversations, academic discourse, and political movements in the West.

Topics discussed:

• The Soviet Union’s anti-Zionist propaganda machine and the role of the KGB
• How antisemitism was masked as political critique
• The use of prominent Soviet Jews in anti-Zionist campaigns
• The parallels between Cold War-era propaganda and modern leftist antisemitism
• The ideological roots of contemporary far-left anti-Zionist rhetoric

In this thought-provoking interview, Pastor Dumisani Washington, Founder and CEO of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, discusses Tucker Carlson's controversial stance on Israel and Christianity. Washington critiques Carlson's misleading portrayal of Israel's treatment of Christians, comparing it to the dire persecution faced by Christians in other parts of the Middle East. He also delves into the discrepancies in Carlson's reporting, particularly his choice to interview a pastor from the Palestinian Authority, rather than a Christian living in Israel. Throughout the conversation, Washington challenges the narrative that Carlson is promoting, highlighting the truth about the thriving Christian population in Israel and the increasing persecution of Christians in Palestinian-controlled areas. With his extensive background in Israel advocacy, Washington provides a compelling argument on why standing with Israel is vital for Christians of all backgrounds.Dumisani Washington is the Founder and CEO of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel (IBSI). He is also the former Diversity Outreach Coordinator for the over 10-million-member Christians United for Israel (CUFI), having served at CUFI for nearly seven years. Dumisani is a pastor, professional musician—graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music—and author whose latest book is the second edition of Zionism & the Black Church: Why Standing with Israel Will be a Defining Issue for Christians of Color in the 21st Century, © 2021 by Umndeni Press.*** Support Us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cryforzionConnect and follow Dumisani Washington here:https://ibsi.org/https://x.com/DumisaniTemsgeninstagram.com/dumisani6Pastor Washington's Article on Tucker Carlson's false claims:https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/arsonist-tucker-carlson#ChristianPersecution #MiddleEastChristians #IsraeliChristians #SyrianCrisis #ReligiousFreedom #tuckercarlson #dumisaniwashington #podcast #breakingnews #israel #specialforces #doronkeidar #thedoronkeidarpodcast #israel

In this eye opening interview, I speak with Lieutenant Colonel (Res) Ihab Shlayan – the highest-ranking Christian officer in the IDF and a fearless advocate for Christian minorities in the Middle East. What he reveals about the current situation will shock you.

Shlayan provides a firsthand account of the horrific persecution facing Christians in Syria at the hands of ISIS/Al Qaeda forces led by terrorist leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani. While mainstream media remains silent, entire Christian communities are being systematically targeted and destroyed.

As Chairman of "The Christian Voice" and creator of the Israeli Christian flag, Ltc. Shlayan offers unprecedented insights into:

• The untold story of Christian minorities thriving in Israel
• How Islamic extremists are waging war against ancient Christian communities
• Why Israeli Christians are proudly serving in the IDF
• The fight to preserve 2,000-year-old Christian heritage in the Holy Land

This conversation goes beyond headlines to expose truths that powerful interests don't want you to hear. Whether you're Christian, Jewish, or simply concerned about religious freedom, this interview is essential viewing.

SHARE this video to spread awareness about the persecution Christians face in the Middle East while their brothers and sisters in Israel stand strong with the Jewish state.

Stav Cohen, a soldier in an elite reserve unit of the IDF, shares his powerful and personal story in this interview. After initially serving in the 2014 Gaza War, Stav returned to Gaza a decade later following the October 7 attack to defend his country after what's been described as the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

In this candid conversation, Stav opens up about the devastating loss of four of his closest friends at the Nova festival and fellow soldiers on the battlefield. He also discusses his perspectives on rising antisemitism in the West and his experiences advocating for Israel on American college campuses, including at Columbia University, which has become a focal point of pro-Hamas protests.

This interview offers a firsthand account from someone who has experienced both the personal tragedy of the conflict and the challenges of communicating Israel's position in increasingly hostile academic environments.
