The Yoga of War Podcast: Fighting for Israel & The Jewish People

Shana Meyerson

Yoga, Ahimsa & The Tragedy Of War The Yoga of War Podcast with Shana Meyerson features conversations and insights on the moral implications of the Israel-Gaza War from a wide variety of pro-Israel voices and perspectives. Ahimsa is nonviolence and a cornerstone of yogic living. War is something to be avoided whenever possible, but also (per the Bhagavad Gita) a moral imperative when it comes to defending yourself and your community. After the massacre and unthinkable atrocities of October 7, 2023, Israel had no choice but to go to war and finally defeat its enemies on seven fronts, starting with Hamas in Gaza. The IDF takes extraordinary measures literally unheard of in the history of warfare to mitigate civilian casualties, but tragically, every war results in civilian deaths. That is an inevitable reality. To support Israel in this war isn’t to support war nor is it to ignore the horrors occurring in Gaza. It is to support the right of a nation to defend itself and its people in hopes of peace on both sides of the border.

    Ruthie Blum | Israel Explained Undiplomatically | Israel Hamas War | Conversation w/Shana Meyerson

    October 7th, 2023 was a day that changed the world. Whether you are acutely aware or not aware at all, it did. Ruthie Blum is acutely aware. A veteran journalist with more than 35 years of experience and a former advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ruthie is educated, informed, and highly opinionated about the State of Israel before, during, and after 10/7. A sabra by nature, Ruthie is what I would consider the undiplomatic counterpart to Mark Regev's diplomatic leanings on their edgy JNS show, Israel Undiplomatic. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and @JNS_TV 's Ruthie Blum discuss Israel from October 6th, the day before the atrocities, to today from an incisive, insider's point of view. Today, we delve into The World According To Ruthie. In a few days, we'll hear Mark's side of the story, The World According to Mark (https://youtube.com/live/IOCBshiXCnw ). If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't realize how profoundly October 7 changed even your life and your beliefs, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation to move past the propaganda and understand the impact and implications of what really happened that dark day.

    Anne Herzberg | UNRWA Scandal Exposed | Israel Hamas War | In Conversation with Shana Meyerson

    When you hear the name "United Nations," what words come to mind? Human rights? International law? World Peace? Dignity? Equality? If those are the words that are coming up for you, you're not paying attention. Today's UN has been captured by Islamists, dictators and communists and the more appropriate terms to describe them would be: farce of justice, fundamentally corrupt, morally bankrupt, biased, hypocritical, anti-Western, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and antisemitic. Throw UNRWA into the mix--the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees--and you find an organization that was created to fulfill a legally illegitimate mandate of eternally perpetuating (instead of resolving) the manufactured Palestinian "refugee crisis" and has been all but completely hijacked by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and NGO Monitor's Anne Herzberg discuss the endemically corrupt UNRWA and its profound infiltration by Islamist terrorists. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks the United Nations is a beacon of righteousness and justice, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about this once venerable institution has fallen into the hands of very bad actors.

    Dr. Orli Peter | Deconstructing The Propaganda Machine | Israel-Hamas War | with Shana Meyerson

    Brutal savagery is a feature, not a glitch, of Hamas terror. So, when the diabolical atrocities of October 7th were live-streamed across the internet by Hamas themselves, the world watched on in abject horror and was shocked to the core. But not surprised. What did surprise and deeply disturb most people beyond the Woke-o-Sphere was how the social justice warriors decided to rally behind Hamas after the massacre, rather than behind the innocent Israeli victims who had just suffered the more horrific one-day murder of Jews since the Holocaust. And as if glorifying terrorists as freedom fighters wasn't enough, the River To The Sea contingency took it one step further, drowning the West in a tsunami of genocidal antisemitism, calling for a global intifada revolution and attacking Jews in our streets, our subways, our schools, and our synagogues. How did this happen? Has society learned nothing from the lessons of the Holocaust? In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Dr. Orli Peter of the Israel Healing Initiative discuss the psychology of propaganda and how empathy is not immune to manipulation. Powerful forces can hijack it into violent hatred, using methods grounded in science. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Hamas are the good guys in their war on Israel, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about how your own kind inclinations can be turned against you and twisted into something truly hateful.

ORLI PETER: WEBSITE: https://www.israelhealinginitiative.org/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/orlipeter/ X: https://x.com/orlipeter FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/orlipeter YOUTUBE: @IsraelHealingInitiative @OrliPeter Orli Peter, Ph.D. is a clinical and neuropsychologist who has served as a professor of psychology and a consultant on terrorism research at the RAND Corporation. She specializes in the intersection of trauma, neuroscience, and propaganda, with decades of experience treating survivors of war, terror, and mass violence. After the October 7 attacks, she launched the Israel Healing Initiative, bringing neuroscience-based trauma treatment — including advanced neurostimulation — to survivors in Israel. Her current work explores how extremist propaganda hijacks the same brain mechanisms used in trauma therapy — particularly emotional arousal and memory reconsolidation — not to heal, but to implant narratives that inflame and destabilize. These campaigns retraumatize survivors and train entire populations to react with outrage — outrage that serves the propagandists’ aims. 🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 🪂 🤸 ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE "A PARATROOPER AND A YOGI WALK INTO A BAR..."

Today we remember. We remember the atrocities committed against the Jewish people in World War II, and we remember the atrocities of today. This is not a story about politics. It is a record of truth. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Edut 710's Itay Ken-Tor, discuss the archive, its urgency, and its mission, and October 7th survivor, Adele P. Raemer, shares her personal story of survival.

    Aaron Bandler | Wikipedia's Antisemitism Problem | Israel Hamas War | Conversation w/Shana Meyerson

    🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 If you're looking for quick encyclopedic knowledge on a topic--any topic--chances are you go to Wikipedia as your first source of information. It's okay. You're not alone! The vast majority of students and the general public are with you on that. No one uses the old-fashioned printed volumes of Encyclopedia Brittanica anymore, like we did before the internet. It's too bad. The benefit of encyclopedias was that they provided objective, unbiased explanations of just about everything under the sun. They were written and curated by bona fide scholars and, well, they were based in facts. What people don't seem to realize when they use Wikipedia as their reference point is that it is a crowd-sourced medium, written and edited by everyday people, and replete with subjective biases and even untruths. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Aaron Bandler of the Jewish News Syndicate discuss the rampant anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and downright antisemitic bias that dominates Wikipedia's platform. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Wikipedia is the purveyor of objective truth, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about how public discourse and conventional wisdom are manipulated by this information distortion to delegitimize and demonize the Jewish People and the Jewish State.

    Tami Raviv & Doron Krakow | Healing IDF PTSD | Israel Hamas War | Conversation w/Shana Meyerson

    🙏 PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE NIV NIREL CENTER: https://pefisrael.org/charity/niv-nirel-center 🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 On October 7, 2023, as a massacre was unfolding in Southern Israel, Tami Raviv was in Netanya, frantically texting her daughter, Niv, who was hiding with her boyfriend, Nirel, in their safe room in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. At first, the news was good. Niv and Nirel were okay and waiting for the IDF to come and save them. But as the hours passed and there was no help in sight, Tami's efforts to connect with Niv became dire. Tami had no idea this conversation with her precious daughter would be her last. It was an entire week before Niv and Nirel's fates were confirmed. This beautiful, young couple who were set to be engaged just days later, breathed their last breaths together before Hamas terrorists brutally murdered them. Imagine being Niv's mother. Imagine praying that your child was taken brutal hostage, as at least she would be alive. Can you imagine? It is impossible to fathom what Tami has had to experience and endure on October 7th and every day since. Even harder to fathom is her superhuman resilience that inspired her to transform this tragedy into a miracle. With nothing but a vision and sheer determination, Tami decided to create the Niv Nirel Center to treat IDF soldiers with combat-related trauma, free of cost and free of stigma. To date, the Niv Nirel Center has treated 250 patients and expects to reach 1000 by 2028. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica sits down with Tami Raviv & Doron Krakow of the Niv Nirel Center to discuss Tami's experiences as a mother and a healer and how she and Doron have teamed up to save the lives of IDF soldiers beyond the front. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that a war ends with a ceasefire, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about inner strength, sheer resilience, overcoming trauma, and healing the world. NIV NIREL CENTER: https://www.nivnirelcenter.org/en NIV NIREL ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/nivnirelcenter Tami Raviv iand her husband, Yoel, are the proud parents of 3 children. Their daughter, Niv was brutally murdered together with her long-time boyfriend, Nirel, on the morning of October 7 on Kibbutz Kfar Aza - at the age of 27. In the period since, she somehow managed to channel her grief and despair into the creation of a desperately needed trauma center - named in memory of Niv and Nirel - to help Israel contend with the sudden and overwhelming growth in the number of people suffering from combat-related trauma disorders and PTSD. Doron Krakow's career has been spent in leadership roles in the Jewish world. He led the Young Judaea Youth Movement, served as Senior Vice President - Israel & Overseas for JFNA, headed American Associates, Ben-Gurion University and, more recently, until the spring of 2024 he was CEO of JCC Association of North America. In June of 2024, he and his wife, Janet, made Aliyah and now live in Tel Aviv. He is a very proud member of the Board of the Niv Nirel Center. 🪂 🤸 ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE "A PARATROOPER AND A YOGI WALK INTO A BAR..."

    🔇 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🔇 The Yoga of War Podcast welcomes back for the third time, David L. Bernstein, author of Woke Antisemitism and Founder of NAVI, the North American Values Institute. In our first conversation, we discussed David's concept of Woke Antisemitism, the dangerous, rabid, and often confounding Jew Hatred that emerged from decades of Far Left intersectional ideology. Our second discussion, exactly one year ago, focused on the question of whether today's antisemitism--which accelerated to warp speeds after the October 7th massacre in Israel--was merely a temporary upshot reaction to the Gaza War or, if, perhaps it was a much larger phenomenon that had taken on a life of its own. Today, three months into a tenuous ceasefire, we look at the past 27 months since the war began, the state of antisemitism today, and where we can expect it to go in the years to come. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and David Bernstein discuss how Jew Hatred has evolved from the Woke Left to the Woke Right and what we might expect to see in 2026 and beyond. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that sympathy for Gaza is an excuse for Jew Hatred, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the plague of antisemitism and how it has negatively affected everyone across the globe, Jewish or otherwise.

    🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 On October 7th, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel, committing and live streaming the most reprehensible atrocities you could possibly imagine. As if straight out of a snuff film, Israeli peace activists, music festival goers, and kibbutzniks of every age were subjected to utterly demonic horrors...and the NGO world was silent. Almost no NGOs condemned the murders or the rapes or the abductions or the torture. Did you ever stop to ask why? Did you ever stop to ask why the world's most prominent humanitarian organizations had nothing to say about Hamas's savagery but filed exhaustive reports against Israel? Israel, who retaliated in a defensive and existential war that they did not start? Israel, who was the victim of the most barbaric terror attack seen in the West in decades? Well, it wasn't an oversight, but part of an intricate and deeply disturbing strategy to undermine and delegitimize the Jewish State under the auspices of international aid and influence. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Gerald Steinberg of NGO Monitor discuss how Hamas infiltrated many of the most prominent international NGOs and used them as weapons in their propaganda war against Israel. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that every NGO is pure in its good intentions, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the deeply disturbing crossover between Islamist terrorist groups and your favorite charities.
