    TFJ Season 4 Episode 14 How the Arabs Avoided a Jewish Refugee Problem

    Professor Alan Dershowitz writes that the controversial battle in the Deir Yassin suburb of Jerusalem in 1948, “Stands out in the history of Arab-Jewish conflict in Palestine precisely because it was so unusual and out of character of the Jews.” Arab armies massacred Jewish civilians avoiding any Jewish refugee problem. The Israelis did not kill Arab combatants, resulting in a burgeoning refugee problem. Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!

    TFJ Season 4 Episode 13 The Facts and the Truth Regarding Palestinian Refugees

    Israel’s War for Independence resulted in three distinct refugee problems. The largest group of refugees were Jews who were forced out of their homes and threatened with severe violence and pogroms in the Arab and North African lands where they had lived for centuries. They received haven in Israel where they were welcomed by their brethren and were never referred to as “Refugees.” The Arabs did not welcome their refugee brethren and shunted them in refugee camps – where they have remained ever since.  Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!

    TFJ Season 4 Episode 12 A Whole New League of Visiting the Sick

    TFJ invites Motty Mendelowitz back to continue the story of how his family’s project of visiting wounded soldiers has been life-changing for the visitors and those visited. Who’da thunk that brawny commandos who stormed into hornets' nests of terrorists, would be equally challenged by constructing a Lego set? The task is far more than just putting the right parts together, but patiently employing fine motor skills of badly mauled fingers.  In some instances, these exercises have saved soldiers from surgery. Team Mendelowitz teaches us vital lessons regarding how to properly and dynamically fulfill the precept of visiting the sick. Notice: TFJ is going on a summer break and will only resume broadcasting on November 6, 2024. Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!

    TFJ Season 4 Episode 11 Palestinian Refugees Myth and Fact

    In the dialogues of today categories must be delineated so that they conform with: Critical Theory, Intersectionality and Identity Politics. What they all share in common is portraying Israel as the “Oppressor” or “Victimizer” and the Palestinians as the “Oppressed” or “Victims.” This emanates from the claim that with the creation of the State of Israel one million (which is mathematically impossible) Palestinian refugees were created. In the annals of history there have never been fourth generation refugees, but the Palestinians, and Arab countries, and – as this episode will expose – the United Nations Relief Agency UNRWA has a distinct agenda in promoting this narrative. TFJ is happy to set the record straight.  Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!

    TFJ Season 4 Episode 10 An Intimate Peek at the Life of an Israeli Ambassador

    Ambassador Daniel Taub, Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom between 2011 – 2015 returns to TFJ to relate fascinating and intriguing anecdotes from the time that he represented Israel in Britain. Not since the time of Ambassador Yehuda Aviner, did Israel have an emissary that was so beloved by Anglo-Jewry. Under his watch Israel’s relations improved and trade doubled, but already then, Muslim leaders made life difficult for those associated with Israel. A gifted orator and witty intellectual, Daniel Taub not only speaks the Queen’s English, but perfectly understands the British mentality. Among his duties was to meet with the Chief Rabbi once a month and Ambassador Taub realized what an opportunity this was, so he quickly would get business out of the way so that he could spend the rest of the time studying with Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z”l.

    TFJ Season 4 Episode 9 The First Truce in the War of Independence and the Creation of the Refugee Problem

    Britain was in favor of soliciting its Arab neighbors at Israel’s expense. However, the economic realities of strapped Britain at the end of WW II ensured that she could not aggravate the United States. Hence Britain had no recourse but to comply with the arms embargo to the Middle-East.  The UN imposed a cease fire early in the War of Independence and Count Bernadotte was responsible for overseeing it. Bernadotte earned a lot of Israeli ire for the liberties he intended to impose including not recognizing the UN vote on November 29, 1947 which was the prelude to Israel’s statehood. His bold, biased positions resulted in his assassination and he was succeeded by Dr. Ralph Bunche.  At this juncture Teller From Jerusalem begins to delve into the creation of the refugee problem that evolved at the time of Israel’s creation. To really understand the true story it is vital to listen to this and future episodes.  Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!

    TFJ Season 4 Episode 7 The Impact of Soviet Policy Toward Israel on Russian Jewry 1948-1987

    The vital support of the Soviet Union towards Israel’s creation is an unknown chapter in Israeli history. Consequentially, too much credit is awarded to America who did nothing more in the critical first years than vote for her statehood and recognize its independence. Stalin was the most unlikely of Israel supporters, yet as it says in Proverbs, “The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord.” In classic Orwellian style the Soviets would erase this period of their foreign policy, but Russian Jewry had already been energized about leaving their oppressive Communist birthplace for Israel.  Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share!
