Brandon and I get into the weeds of why both American Jewish leadership has failed Jews in America and in Israel, and why Israeli leadership needs a complete overhaul. The sorry excuse for leadership has jerked Israel down a path of capitulation to the needs of the antisemitic West, has fueled the ease of terrorism against Jews in the Jewish homeland, and even during this war, this across the board Jewish leadership is not truly understanding the broad scope of enemies; no, it is not just Hamas that needs to be eliminated.

This episode is not for the sensitive, not for those who need everything sugar-coated, but for those who truly want to understand what went wrong and how to actually fix the grave mistakes so that another Jewish genocide will never occur.

Lilly Schwartz, a Program & Resource Coordinator at Nevut (https://nevut.org/), was instrumental on the podcast to share the importance of lone soldiers and their role in the IDF.

What motivates someone to join the army that does not have to? What are the challenges?

As a former lone soldier herself, Lilly answers all these questions and much more! We also touched upon politics (of course), and our visions for a safer Israel. Lilly is also proudly married to a former Satmar, and lone soldier. She is close to her in-laws and extended family; thus, we were able to get outside the headlines and delve into a passionate community that many misunderstand, and who are beginning to pivot on Israel and its reality. We left no topic unturned.

No one can make sense of the senseless that happened on October 7th. One cannot comprehend the mass murder in horrific ways of 1200 people and the taking hostage of so many innocents. Join Daniella and I as we weave through dissecting the policies and politics of both Israel and the U.S, what needs to be done to ensure safety, and what fuels Jew-hate.

Daniella provides an inside take into the resiliency and humanity of the Israeli people, the shifting perspective of the newly ‘awake’ in both countries, and how we can steer our children on a better path socially and politically.

This episode also contains great teachable moments regarding the importance of semantics and why and how Gaza is actually Jewish, and has been since 145 BC.
