Jonah Platt | Actor, Artist, Activist, Jew | Israel-Hamas War | Conversation with Shana Meyerson

Since the Hamas terror massacre of 10/7/23, the world has seen a repugnant dynamic never seen before in history. Massive swaths of Western Society disgracefully siding with the terrorists and vilifying Israel for their own victimhood.

But it didn't stop there. A vicious and violent wave of antisemitism not seen since WWII has swept the entire world. So-called "social justice warriors" started ripping down posters of Israeli babies and grandfathers taken brutal hostage by barbaric monsters, and using "anti-Zionism" as a thinly veiled excuse to normalize Jew Hatred.

The influencers of Hollywood have remained basically silent. The Jews of Hollywood have remained shamefully silent with the exception of a proud few. The Jews without trembling knees. And Jonah Platt ( @JonahPlattOfficial ) has been right there at the front of the pack.

A proud and vocal advocate for Israel and the Jewish People, Jonah launched the Being Jewish with Jonah Platt Podcast to empower, educate, and explore issues affecting the Jewish community both at home and abroad. Bucking the silence, he has been an important voice in providing rational and relatable content to fight antisemitism and support the Jewish State in its just war on terror.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Jonah Platt discuss Israel and antisemitism and why every voice matters in this battle of good vs. evil.

If you are a yogi or yogini who considers yourself Anti-Israel or Anti-Zionist, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion, understand the many forms that antisemitism takes and how you can be part of the solution. In this yoga world, there is no place for hate.

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.
