From just about any river to just about any sea these days, you will hear so-called Progressive protestors calling to globalize the Intifada.

To be perfectly frank, there is nothing "progressive" about Intifada.

Despite what a mealy mouthed Mamdani may try to publicly claim, Intifada is the Palestinian movement of violently murdering Israelis and Jews wherever they can find them. It is an open call for terrorism based in a centuries' old hatred of Jews and the West.

Personal criticism of Israel's War on Terror is legitimate in nature. Calling for the murder of any people on earth--yes, Jews included--is not.

How is it that the so-called Progressive Left has been so consumed with antisemitic hatred and violence when they pride themselves on being the guardians of morality and decency?

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Uri Kaufman discuss his book "American Intifada: Israel, the Gaza War and the New Antisemitism," where he examines this very question and provides some very provocative and often disturbing answers.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks the words "globalize the intifada" are a call for peace or justice, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about the dangerous Progressive agenda to destroy the Jewish State and delegitimize the Jewish people.

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.
