In this episode we interview Miko Peled, son of Israeli General Matti Peled, born into the heart of Israel's Zionist military elite. He says what most are too afraid to say: Zionism is antisemitism, what the true foundation of Israel is, and how the one-state solution is the best option.Miko's family signed Israel's Declaration of Independence. His father was a decorated IDF General. His niece was killed in a Palestinian suicide bombing. And yet, Miko Peled became one of the most fearless voices for Palestinian rights in the world. That's what makes this conversation unlike anything else you'll find.*JOIN OUR YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP*OR*Support Us @* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/OR*Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcast/membership*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club*Ayubi Collective* FREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com*Humaniti:* https://donor.muslimi.com/page/Humaniti-emergency-Ansari00:00 Story of the Son of IDF General06:25 How Israelis get brainwashed13:27 The One State Solution?19:39 Ad21:18 Israel24:36 Arab Leaders and the Iran War34:35 The Fate of Israel35:43 Ad37:31 Al Aqsa will destroyed soon51:02 What Do We Do?01:01:45 Are White People changing?01:06:13 Zionism is Antisemitism01:08:47 Ad01:10:36 Trump & Epstein01:14:13 Final Thoughts#israel #Netanyahu #IranWar #podcast *Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

Jalil Navarro is a Mexican-American Muslim convert who went from a crazy life before Islam to finding faith in one of the most unexpected journeys you'll ever hear. In this episode, he opens up about what led him to Islam, the moment he first heard the Quran and how it changed everything, and what it's really like navigating life as a Latino Muslim in America today.We get into the challenges nobody talks about — from learning Islamic purity practices with zero guidance, to surviving a tragic car accident that tested his faith to its core, to figuring out how to introduce Islam to the Latino community in a way that actually resonates. This is a raw, real, and deeply personal conversation about identity, culture, faith, and resilience in the face of severe difficulty.JOIN OUR YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIPORSupport Us @ https://www.ansaripodcast.com/ORPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcast/membershipJoin The Cosmos Club Newsletter: https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-clubAyubi CollectiveFREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansariProvision Capital: https://www.provisioncapital.comHumaniti: https://donor.muslimi.com/page/Humaniti-emergency-Ansari00:00 Introduction03:41 Islam and Latino Culture06:56 His Journey to Islam19:26 Advertisement23:54 His First Time Hearing The Quran28:24 How He Learned Islamic Purity Practices37:19 Advertisement47:16 How to Introduce Islam to Latinos01:01:50 Advertisement01:03:38 His Tragic Car Accident01:21:13 Dealing with Difficulties as a Muslim01:30:33 Final Thoughts01:38:44 A Final Message en Español#convertstory #revert #islaminspanish #latinomuslim #latinamerica #musulmánes #mexicanmuslim #muslimpodcast #islamicpodcastListen on All Audio Platforms: https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyjFollow The Ansari PodcastInstagram: https://instagram.com/ansaripodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcastTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast
