People love dead Jews.

Dead Jews may have been murdered or massacred or burnt alive or gassed or...the list goes on. But we all know that dead Jews deserve our sympathy. For hours! Or even days! But, really, that's about the limit.

Ultimately, the problem with dead Jews is that in this day and age, Jews are not allowed to be victims. They can only be aggressors. Jews are not allowed to be the oppressed, only the oppressors. Even when, in actuality, the Jewish People are, by far, the most oppressed and victimized group in history.

But that doesn't fit the narrative. That is so uncomfortable. Because the thing that makes the Jews different is that they don't wallow in their victimhood. They transcend it and climb to incredible heights, shattering the pervasive oppressor-oppressed paradigm that is so du jour these days.

There's one easy way to fix that, especially in the Information Age: rewrite history. Rewrite and revise until the victim becomes the aggressor, the oppressed becomes the oppressor. Then all will be right in the world.

Or will it?

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and return guest, Thane Rosenbaum, discuss the phenomenon and dangers of revisionist history even as it is being rewritten before our very eyes.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks Israel started the war in Gaza, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about lies, propaganda, and how whitewashing history can also brainwash your mind.

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.
