Welcome to the Doron Keidar podcast, where we defend Israel. Doron is a security professional and IDF-reservist with 20 years of military and defense experience. This podcast is dedicated to 2 heroes. First, Doron's former commander, Captain Leonardo Weisman z"l, who fell in battle in Gaza on Dec. 22, and taught us that "a man lives in a world he builds for himself". And second, Captain Eliya Yanovsky, who was killed in combat in Khan Younis on Dec.11, 2023, and who had the words "Facta, Non Verba" tattooed on his arm, meaning "acts, not words". In the same spirit, we continue their legacy.

    Defending Israel: Inside the World of Shana Meyerson | The Doron Keidar Podcast

    Join me for an inspiring and powerful conversation with Shana Meyerson, the renowned Los Angeles-based yoga influencer and creator of YOGAthletica — a dynamic, hardcore approach to yoga that has empowered students worldwide since 2002 — and mini yogis, her innovative yoga program designed especially for children, complete with global teacher trainings. Shana’s passion extends far beyond the yoga mat: Israel and the Jewish people have been the cornerstones of her life for even longer. As a proud member of the elite World Jewish Congress Jewish Diplomatic Corps, the Israel Bonds National Women’s Board, and AIPAC, Shana has long been a vocal advocate for the Jewish State and community. Following the horrors of October 7, 2023, she made the bold decision to pause her professional yoga career and dedicate herself full-time to advocacy for the Jewish People and Israel. In July 2024, she launched The Yoga of War Podcast (available on her YOGAthletica YouTube channel and major platforms), where she hosts provocative, educational, and deeply meaningful discussions with some of the world’s most prominent pro-Israel voices. These conversations explore the moral, historical, and human dimensions of conflict, resilience, and truth — and hosting them has been, in her words, the honor of a lifetime. In this interview, we dive into Shana’s journey from elite athlete to world-class yogi, her unwavering commitment to Jewish advocacy, the challenges of speaking out in the wellness space by combating the disinformation war against Israel also known as the eighth front.

    Sagiv Asulin ex-Mossad: Why Venezuela Was Just the Opening Shot Against Iran

    In this eye-opening episode, I welcome Sagiv Asulin, a leading expert on Iran, influence operations, and strategic perception at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA). As a former senior officer and operations commander in the Mossad, Israel’s elite spy agency, Asulin brings decades of hands-on experience in intelligence, national security strategy, and global outreach. We connect the dots between the recent daring U.S. Delta Force operation in Venezuela—capturing dictator Nicolás Maduro—and President Trump’s broader strategy to confront tyrannical regimes. Asulin explores how toppling the Ayatollahs’ oppressive rule in Iran could be a decisive step toward reasserting U.S. dominance, defending Western values, and countering the intertwined threats from extreme woke ideologies, communist influences, and Islamist networks. Asulin’s work delves into the powerful intersection of influence warfare, faith-based diplomacy, and Iran’s vast threat network. At JCFA, he works to forge international partnerships that combat malign influence and build strategic awareness among allies. His urgent focus today is exposing and defeating what he and other Israeli leaders call Israel’s “eighth front”—the relentless information war. While Israel battles multiple physical fronts, this hidden theater of disinformation, manipulated narratives, and perception management represents an existential challenge. Join us as Asulin shares battle-tested insights on how to fight back effectively—with truth, clarity, and strategic resolve. Perfect for anyone interested in Iran’s shadow operations, cognitive warfare, the future of global security, and the high-stakes battle against authoritarianism worldwide.

    Marziyeh (Marzi) Amirizadeh | Christian Persecution in Iran

    In this powerful and moving interview, I sit down with Marziyeh (Marzi) Amirizadeh, an Iranian-American Christian who faced unimaginable persecution for her faith in Iran. Marzi was arrested in 2009 alongside her friend Maryam Rostampour for converting to Christianity and sharing the Gospel. They spent 259 days in the notorious Evin Prison — one of the world's most brutal facilities — enduring intense interrogations, solitary confinement, unsanitary conditions, and a death sentence by hanging for "apostasy." Yet, in the midst of darkness, Marzi's unwavering faith shone brightly. She and Maryam boldly shared God's love with fellow inmates, turning their cellblock into a place of hope and even leading many to Christ. After international pressure led to their miraculous release, Marzi immigrated to the United States. Today, she is a published author, international speaker, and advocate for human rights. Marzi is also the founder and president of New Persia, a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for persecuted Christians, empowering oppressed women under radical Islam, exposing the Iranian regime's lies, and restoring historic ties between Persians, Jews, and Christians. In our conversation, Marzi shares her inspiring story of courage, forgiveness, and redemption — a testament to the power of faith in the face of extreme persecution.

Standing at an impressive 6'3", this Scottish-Korean powerhouse is a multi-talented force: a bold comedian delivering edgy cultural commentary, a Trance DJ who performs with live cello, and an actor who's graced the screen in the Netflix hit Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. We dive deep into his journey blending Scottish and Korean heritage, the origins of his iconic catchphrase "Leave the Goats Alone" (and why it's exploded into merch like mugs, shirts, and stickers on leavethegoatsalone.com), his provocative humor that's gone viral on Threads and beyond, his music career, acting experiences, and much more.
