Everybody knows the Jews control Hollywood. The Jews control movies. The Jews control television. And, of course, the Jews control music.

And if you believe that, you are ignorant at best, and an antisemite at worst.

This ridiculous accusation is nothing more than a modern permutation of the centuries-old “Jews control the world” blood libel.

Need proof? Look at the morally reprehensible response of the entertainment industry to the vicious and barbaric October 7th Hamas terrorist attacks.

In any other world, such animalistic savagery would be denounced in the strongest of terms. In the entertainment world, it is celebrated.

Very few entertainers have had the moral clarity and fortitude to stand up against this terror. To stand up for the Jews. John Ondrasik is one of the few. A virtuous voice singing above the cacophony. Fearlessly fighting the evil that has consumed the intoxicated industry around him.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and John Ondrasik discuss antisemitism in entertainment, tribalism, and the role of pop culture in shaping public opinion.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks a red hand pin is a call for justice, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about moral clarity and cowardice in a world that's gone wild with wokeness and has lost its own voice in the process.

John Ondrasik, the creative force behind the Grammy-nominated band Five for Fighting, has captivated audiences for over two decades with his poignant songwriting and unique falsetto voice. Best known for hits like "Superman" and "100 Years," Ondrasik's music has amassed over a billion streams and has been featured in numerous films and TV shows. He is profoundly dedicated to honoring heroes and advocating for change through music.

Recently, Ondrasik changed the lyrics to iconic song, “Superman,” which became an anthem for first responders after 9/11, to take on new meaning as a tribute to Alon Ohel, the 24-year-old, (now former) hostage who was held by Hamas for more than 700 days since the October 7 attacks. Ondrasik’s revised lyrics transform pain into resilience.

Hosted by Shana Meyerson, The Yoga of War Podcast: Fighting for Israel & The Jewish People exists in the complex space where spiritual principle meets stark reality. This podcast explores the profound moral and ethical questions surrounding the Israel-Gaza War, specifically through a pro-Israel lens, while being grounded in the ancient philosophy of yoga. The central, challenging tension is between the yogic tenet of Ahimsa-non-violence-and the duty to defend one’s community as discussed in texts like the Bhagavad Gita. Each episode features conversations with a diverse range of voices, from activists and thinkers to community leaders, who share their insights and personal reckonings with this conflict. Listeners will hear nuanced discussions that don’t shy away from the tragedy of war but instead seek to understand the justification and heavy responsibility of a defensive fight. It’s a series for those grappling with how to hold space for peace and spiritual non-violence while confronting the necessity of standing for Israel and Jewish peoplehood in a time of crisis. The dialogue in this podcast is intentionally focused, offering perspective and depth on current events filtered through enduring principles of faith, politics, and human dignity.
