🇮🇱 “Settler Colonialist” 🇮🇱 “Apartheid” 🇮🇱 “Genocide” 🇮🇱 “Illegitimate” 🇮🇱 “Occupiers” 🇮🇱 “Jewish Supremacy” 🇮🇱 All nothing more than LIES and PROPAGANDA told about Israel, the only Jewish state. In his landmark book, "Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law,” Judge Roy Altman applies international legal standards to each of these allegations to prove just how false they really are.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Judge Roy Altman and Shana Meyerson discuss the legal defense of Israel in the face of preposterous charges against it. PART 2 OF 2.

Roy K. Altman is a U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida. At 36, he became the youngest federal district court judge in the country. Altman received his BA from Columbia University, where he played quarterback for the football team and pitched for the baseball team, earning All-Ivy honors. Altman received his JD from the Yale Law School, where he was projects editor of the Yale Law Journal.

After clerking, Altman became a federal prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, where he twice received the Director of the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys' Award for Superior Performance--a nationwide honor. In 2013, Altman was named "Federal Prosecutor of the Year" by the Miami-Dade Chiefs of Police and the Law Enforcement Officers' Charitable Foundation.

In 2014, Altman became a partner at the Miami law firm of Podhurst Orseck, where he represented the victims of bank-fraud conspiracies and international airplane crashes--including the families of passengers aboard Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.

Since the Hamas massacres in Southern Israel on October 7, 2023, Altman has led dozens of federal judges from all across the United States on the first-ever Judicial Education Missions to Israel. He's also given hundreds of speeches about Israel, antisemitism, and the rule of law at colleges, law schools, churches, synagogues, and community centers around the world.

The most famous and infamous antisemitic movement in history is that of Nazi Germany. Htiler’s Holocaust against the Jewish people—his Final Solution—was the epitome of evil as he exterminated 6,000,000 Jews in a genocidal attempt to cleanse all of Europe of its Jewish population. And it all started with a very careful crafted propaganda campaign. As the world is consumed, once again, with rabid and viral antisemitism, are we seeing the Nazi playbook playing out once more? How new is the New Antisemitism, really?

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, David Hirsh and Shana Meyerson compare and contrast the antisemitism of the Nazis to that of today’s Islamists and populists.
