"There is absolutely nothing that anti-Zionists say that I, as a Soviet Jew, did not hear or cannot find in Soviet literature." ~ Izabella Tabarovsky.
The Soviet Union created the ideological underpinning of the modern anti-Zionist movement, including the infamous 1975 'Zionism is Racism' resolution at the United Nations, an ideological foundation that groups like BDS are built on today. Join our special guest Izabella Tabarovsky Senior Associate at the Kennan Institute (Wilson Center), as we delve into the history of the Soviet Union and how their anti-Zionist propaganda shapes the antisemites of today.

This month, the United Nations will celebrate 20 years since the infamous Durban Conference in 2001, an event that descended into an unhinged display of Jew-hatred and antisemitism, while giving birth to the modern BDS Movement and campaign to delegitimize the State of Israel.

With antisemitism on the rise globally, many people are increasingly asking why do we need a specific objective standard to classify this type of hatred, and if so, which one ought to apply? Join us this week on our 'How We Fought Against ...' Podcast, where we interview Rabbi Dr. Mark Goldfeder, as he analyzes this very question and why he comes to the conclusion that the IHRA Working Definition is the best tool to identify antisemitism.
When you teach people to hate, they hate. This was underscored just in the last 2 weeks, during the Hamas rocket campaign against Israel. But why do some people in Morocco or UAE think differently and more positively regarding Israel when compared to people in Syria or Gaza? The power of words and phrasing of narratives, especially in the Middle East, has tremendous impact. And how will technology, the Abraham Accords, and the youth in Arab nations bring about possible change in the future of the Middle East. For the answers to these and many other questions join our guest Col. (Res.) Miri Eisin, on this week's 'How We Fought Against ...' to hear more.
'We do what we think is right'. One group of students, a group of dreamers, took on the all-powerful Soviet Union for one very simple reason, to help their fellow Jews gain their freedom. Rabbi Avi Wiess and Glenn Richter join us this week to tell their story, how a group of students stood up against seemingly insurmountable odds for what they believed in, to lead the effort to help free Soviet Jewry. This is a story that involves running from the KGB, a rally at Madison Square Garden and ultimately, uniting the Jewish people worldwide behind one of the most important causes of the last century. Tune in to this week's 'How We Fought Against ...' Podcast to about their powerful story.
