Michael Berenbaum | Hamas's Gaza & Nazi Germany | Israel-Hamas War | Conversation w/Shana Meyerson

Author: Shana Meyerson April 4, 2025 Duration: 1:01:15

On 10/7/23, the Western World was shocked and horrified by terror and brutality unleashed in the single largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. The parallels were undeniable and widely discussed.

The rapturous sadism with which the atrocities were executed, absolutely satanic.

The way that Hamas terrorists took over Gaza, so similar to Nazism and the rise of Hitler.

And, of course, the hostages, released in a perverse circus of depravity...the comparisons to survivors of the Nazi death camps were impossible to ignore.

In sickly ironic and very deliberate narratives, pro-Hamas antisemites and anti-Zionists also rushed to comparisons: Gaza as a concentration camp, the IDF as the new Nazis, and Benjamin Netanyahu playing the role of Hitler.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Michael Berenbaum discuss Hamas and the Holocaust. The similarities, the differences, and why we need to know the difference.

If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't know the connection between Hamas's Gaza and Nazi Germany, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion, learn how very far back the Islamic/Nazi alliance goes back, how inextricably linked the ideologies really are, and the historical lessons that can save Western Civilization.

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.
