Reading Between The Yellow Lines 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Alone At The Bar...

Author: Shana Meyerson and Andrew Fox February 13, 2026 Duration: 47:41

While the Middle East seems to be in something of a holding pattern right now, the rhetoric of the Islamic forces in both Gaza and Iran continues to ramp up. Propaganda and posturing abound as their leaders scramble to show power and threat, as they are increasingly disemboweled by Israel and the United States. Top of their list of priorities: discredit and delegitimize Israel on the world stage. Sadly, that soft war is the one they continue to win.

In this live conversation, Shana Meyerson talks about the double talk coming out of the mouths of Hamas and IRGC leaders. A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, military expert Andrew Fox, was unable to make it to the bar this week...

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.
