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.

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