    The Only Way to Defeat Campus Antisemitism ✡️ ANDREW PESSIN

    What is actually happening inside our top universities? On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Andrew Pessin to break down the root causes of rising campus antisemitism, how academic institutions are failing their students, and the concrete policy changes required to fix higher education. The dangerous rise of antizionism, anti-Israel rhetoric, and antisemitism within the academy has reached a crisis point where Jewish and Zionist students and faculty alike feel unsafe, unwelcome, and discriminated against on campus. Andrew Pessin breaks down the problem and offers solutions to create a healthier college experience for everyone. Andrew Pessin is Professor of Philosophy at Connecticut College, and the founder of The Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism (ICSA), a scholarly enterprise to produce and promote critical scholarship on the history, evolution, and contemporary manifestations of antizionism as an ideology, a worldview, and a movement. With a roster of over 230 scholars (and growing), ICSA has already launched numerous project (a webinar series on the history of antizionism, a journal, and a foundational encyclopedia), with many more in the works. ICSA’s members are diverse in every way, including opinion, sharing only the belief that critical scholarship on antizionism is necessary.

    How Iran's Regime Could Finally Fall 🇮🇷 BEHNAM BEN TALEBLU

    On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Iran Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow at FDD, about the war in Iran, the current ceasefire, and how the overthrow of the IRGC may realistically be accomplished to effect regime change and liberate the Iranian people from brutal Islamist repression. It's difficult to say if America is winning this war, but easy to say that we must. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu seized a moment and cannot let this opportunity to recalibrate the balance of power in the Middle East slip away. Perhaps peace in the Middle East lies on the horizon. Perhaps a whole new era and a new world order. Behnam Ben Taleblu is senior director of The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Iran Program, where he oversees the breadth and depth of FDD’s work on Iran in addition to serving as a senior fellow specializing in Iranian security and political issues. For well over a decade, Behnam has supported FDD’s Iran program as a senior fellow, research fellow, and senior Iran analyst. Prior to his time at FDD, Behnam worked on non-proliferation issues at an arms control think tank in Washington.

    “I Threw My Bible In The TRASH…And Then I Found God” ✝️ TINASHE PETER

    On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Tinashe Peter, the Unapologetic Zionist. Always a Christian in his soul, Tinashe went through a dark period when he lost connection with God. When he finally came back, his faith was rock solid and his whole life changed. The Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7th, 2023, awakened a new part of Tinashe. A part that felt compelled to take a stand for the Jewish State, and to use the power of his words to fight terrorism, evil, and antisemitism. TINASHE PETER’S BIO, IN HIS OWN WORDS: Born in Zimbabwe, and raised in the United States, I’ve always been an outsider looking in. A search for identity was always the hallmark of my experience, this search led me into the darkest spaces, back into the light. I searched for meaning in everything from drugs to pseudo-spiritualities, yet nothing seemed to satisfy, not even a change of my very own name could give me what the true and living God could. And so, after a lifetimes worth of searching for the truth, the Truth has now found me again, leading me to return back to my name of origin, Tinashe Peter, and along with this Truth, has come the unraveling of the all too often, unpopular opinions that contradict the many lives we are fed on a daily basis by mainstream media outlets.
