“Settler Colonialist” "Apartheid” “Genocide” “Illegitimate” “Occupiers” “Jewish Supremacy”

All LIES told about Israel, the world’s only Jewish state. So, Judge Roy Altman decided to apply courtroom legal standards to these and other allegations in his landmark book, "Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law.”

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Judge Roy Altman and Shana Meyerson discuss the legal defense of Israel in the face of a litany of false charges against it.

📖 ROY K. ALTMAN “ISRAEL ON TRIAL: EXAMINING THE HISTORY, THE EVIDENCE, AND THE LAW”

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.

Kile B. Jones was taught to be an antizionist. Highly educated and ethically driven, everything he ever learned drove him to the same conclusion: Israel was an immoral and unjust Jewish supremacist movement. And then, his open mind and rigorous research drove him somewhere else…

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Kile Jones and Shana Meyerson discuss the ideologies of antizionism and Zionism and how intellectual and moral honesty changed everything Kile was taught to believe.

Kile Jones researches and writes on modern antizionism, history, and the uses of language, working alongside the Jewish community to fight Jew-hatred. He holds two master’s degrees, an M.T.S. and S.T.M. in Religious Studies, from Boston University. A long-time bridge-builder, Jones has created interfaith programs and projects including “Interview an Atheist at Church Day,” and founded and edited the Claremont Journal of Religion at the Claremont Colleges. His work has appeared in philosophy, religion, and society publications, including Philosophy Now, The Humanist, The Routledge Guide, and Free Inquiry.

Josh Levs knows legacy media from the inside out. After two decades of working within the walls of left-leaning media outlets CNN and NPR, he finally left and became one of the world’s most prominent news fact-checkers. As he explains, Truth = Facts + Context, and when it comes to mass media and their treatment of Israel, that equation simply doesn’t hold.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Josh Levs and Shana Meyerson discuss the very deliberate mass media agenda to glorify and whitewash anti-Israel Islamist terror, and demonize and undermine Israel and the IDF.

Josh Levs is host of They Stand Corrected, the podcast and Substack newsletter fact checking the news. He spent 20 years on NPR and CNN, where he became lead on-air fact checker. His many honors include Peabody Awards, Edward R. Murrow Awards, and awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Association of Black Journalists.

A popular keynote speaker, he has spoken everywhere from the United Nations to Congress, Google, and a wide array of organizations and universities. He won a debate at Oxford.

Josh launched They Stand Corrected to provide listeners with concrete facts and expose systemic problems in mainstream media. Many episodes focus on antisemitism and anti-Israel bigotry, demonstrating that news agencies even have rules institutionalizing this bias. The Elie Wiesel Foundation says, “They Stand Corrected is an important contribution to understanding how media bias has turned too many otherwise thoughtful and informed individuals against the Jewish people.”

Our colleges and universities are no longer institutions of education, but of indoctrination. On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Asaf Romirowsky to discuss The Political Economy of Antisemitism and Israel Hatred in Twenty-First Century America, and how the Jews and Israel have been the targets of a well-funded international campaign to destroy the Jewish State and eventually the West. As they say, follow the money.

Anti-Israel campus indoctrination poses a much greater threat to Western Civilization as a whole than most people realize. Asaf has been an activist for honest and balanced academic discourse and a higher education system that focuses on facts instead of hateful and dangerous lies and propaganda.

Asaf Romirowsky PhD, is the Executive Director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East (SPME) and the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA).

What is actually happening inside our top universities? On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Andrew Pessin to break down the root causes of rising campus antisemitism, how academic institutions are failing their students, and the concrete policy changes required to fix higher education.

The dangerous rise of antizionism, anti-Israel rhetoric, and antisemitism within the academy has reached a crisis point where Jewish and Zionist students and faculty alike feel unsafe, unwelcome, and discriminated against on campus. Andrew Pessin breaks down the problem and offers solutions to create a healthier college experience for everyone.

Andrew Pessin is Professor of Philosophy at Connecticut College, and the founder of The Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism (ICSA), a scholarly enterprise to produce and promote critical scholarship on the history, evolution, and contemporary manifestations of antizionism as an ideology, a worldview, and a movement. With a roster of over 230 scholars (and growing), ICSA has already launched numerous project (a webinar series on the history of antizionism, a journal, and a foundational encyclopedia), with many more in the works. ICSA’s members are diverse in every way, including opinion, sharing only the belief that critical scholarship on antizionism is necessary.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Iran Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow at FDD, about the war in Iran, the current ceasefire, and how the overthrow of the IRGC may realistically be accomplished to effect regime change and liberate the Iranian people from brutal Islamist repression.

It's difficult to say if America is winning this war, but easy to say that we must. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu seized a moment and cannot let this opportunity to recalibrate the balance of power in the Middle East slip away. Perhaps peace in the Middle East lies on the horizon. Perhaps a whole new era and a new world order.

Behnam Ben Taleblu is senior director of The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Iran Program, where he oversees the breadth and depth of FDD’s work on Iran in addition to serving as a senior fellow specializing in Iranian security and political issues. For well over a decade, Behnam has supported FDD’s Iran program as a senior fellow, research fellow, and senior Iran analyst. Prior to his time at FDD, Behnam worked on non-proliferation issues at an arms control think tank in Washington.
