There is so much media attention on the war in Gaza and almost no context or reminders of how this war on Hamas started.
It was October 7, 2023, when the terrorists and civilians of Gaza flooded Israel and committed the most unmentionable, unfathomable, and inhuman atrocities to occur in the Western World since the Holocaust.
Out of that day came the most devastating of tragedies...but also the most powerful, incredible, selfless, and inspiring heroes.
Today, IDF Sergeant Major @chaimalespin returns to the Yoga of War Podcast to share some of the stories of these extraordinary Israelis who stepped up and went far beyond the call of duty to save lives and protect a nation. They deserve our utmost respect and appreciation and must never be forgotten.
In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Chaim Malespin discuss the best of Israel and the heroes that have helped to carry a nation.
If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks the Israel Defense Forces exists to kill its enemies, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the real goal of the IDF: to protect its people from terror and keep them safe.
Conversation also includes an update on IDF Gaza operations.
