Building Gaza Disneyland 🤸🪂 Red Lines/Yellow Lines

Author: Shana Meyerson and Andrew Fox October 29, 2025 Duration: 32:48

Now that Hamas has repeatedly broken the 20-Point Trump Peace Plan & Ceasefire in the most sadistic and savage ways, all eyes are on Israel...again...and exactly no eyes are falling on Hamas. Global scrutiny of the Jewish State is relentless and Israeli retaliation is never acceptable to the world at large. So, what will Israel do? Will they resort to a Lebanon-style Whack-a-Mole strategy or will Israel finally go in hard and and fast, now that all the live hostages are home, and finally finish the job?

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the current state of the tenuous Israel-Hamas Ceasefire and what to expect from here.

Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast. He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major.

The title A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar... Andrew Fox & Shana Meyerson Talk Israel isn't just a clever hook; it's the genuine premise of this conversation. Hosts Andrew Fox, drawing from his military expertise, and Shana Meyerson, with her perspective as a yoga master, might seem an unlikely pairing. Yet their dialogue reveals a profound and unified stance rooted in shared values, particularly regarding Israel's position following the October 7th attacks. This podcast moves beyond surface-level news commentary to explore the deeper convictions that bind a soldier and a spiritual teacher together on these critical issues. Each episode delves into their firm belief in Israel's right to self-defense in what they describe as a just war on terror. Their discussions are grounded in a long-term commitment to combating antisemitism and what they see as a necessary defense of Western civilization. The contrast in their professional backgrounds-the paratrooper and the yogi-creates a unique and thoughtful dynamic, offering listeners a multifaceted examination of current events that is both principled and personal. You'll hear how strategy and spirit, resilience and reflection, inform their analysis of a complex and ongoing conflict. This isn't about fleeting headlines; it's about the foundational beliefs that shape their worldview and their advocacy for Israel's future.
