Why Jews Are the Canary in the Coal Mine (with The Modern Maccabee) [PT. 1]

Описание: This episode was filmed before the October 7th Attacks in Israel

In this episode of Hot Jewish Energy: The Podcast, Michael sits down with UK-based Jewish activist The Modern Maccabee for a two-part, powerful and wide-ranging conversation on antisemitism, politics, Zionism, and Jewish identity in the modern West.

Part 1 explores:
Growing up Jewish between Israel and the UK
The rise of antisemitism in progressive spaces
Jeremy Corbyn and what happened to the UK Labour Party
The Squad and political extremism in America
Jewish identity, white privilege narratives, and critical race theory
Why Richie Torres represents something different
Why Jewish political engagement matters more than ever

This conversation is nuanced, unfiltered, and necessary.

🎧 Listen to Part 2:    • Stop The Squad? The Future of Jewish Polit...  

India–Israel relations, Stop The Squad, BLM controversy, humor as survival, and Sacha Baron Cohen’s cultural impact.
