WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ISRAEL/HAMAS WAR? with Alex Traiman, Jerusalem Bureau Chief - #706

The term 'Zionism' has been co-opted by both the Left and Right, but few know its meaning and origin. Savage delves into history and politics to reveal the TRUTH behind the movement. How are radicals working to destroy the history of the Jewish people in Israel? How long have the Jews been present in "Palestine"? Where did the name "Palestine" originate? When and how did Zionism gain steam? How did the Jewish people return to Israel? Listen as Savage dispels the myths and propaganda about Israel and its treatment of Arab Israelis. Savage explains how secular Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist Theodor Herzl wrote “Der Judenstaat” or the “The Jewish State” in 1896. In the pamphlet, Herzl outlined how Jews could return to their historic home and create a state free from discrimination. He encouraged Jews to purchase land in what had become known as “Palestine.” In 1948, the State of Israel was officially founded when the United Nations approved a plan to partition Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. Progressives argue and protest for the self-determination of the Tibetans, The Kurds, and the Uyghur people, but do not want to offer the same empathy towards the Jews. “While it runs contrary to the conventional wisdom, it’s no exaggeration to say the freest Arabs in the entire Middle East are Israel’s Arab citizens."

You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy the Passover holiday. In this remarkable conversation, Savage speaks with Rabbi Shais Taub about the meaning of Passover to all people. They reflect on the impact of intergenerational stories and parenting moments on shaping individuals. They discuss the relevance of ancient history and the ongoing geopolitical conflicts, drawing parallels between the human condition and the story of the Jews' enslavement in Egypt. Both encourage recognizing the personal relevance of Passover and the need for humility and reliance on a higher power for redemption. Rabbi Taub emphasizes that these events are not ancient history, but current events, as they continue to impact the lives of Jews, Christians, and others. Savage explains that those attending the Passover Seder may be enslaved to various forms of personal bondage and need to recognize and break free from these chains to truly experience liberation. They emphasize that Passover is not just about commemorating historical events or consuming traditional foods, but about understanding and releasing oneself from modern-day slavery.
