Description

The world changed on October 7, 2023.

It didn’t just change for Israel. It didn’t just change for the Jewish People. It changed for humanity.

On that dark day, some 6000 Gazans—both terrorists and thousands of civilians—invaded the Jewish State and committed the most unspeakable and unthinkable atrocities in modern history.

While most Muslims ran to defend the orgy of evil, Anila Ali ran the other way. Citing her belief in the goodness of the Quran, Anila has been unapologetically speaking out against both the rampage and the antisemitism that has exploded in its wake, for the past 21 ½ months.

Anila isn’t anti-Muslim. She is pro-humanity, and her fight is the fight for peace, dignity and prosperity for all of mankind.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Anila Ali discuss what it means to be a Muslim Zionist and why interfaith understanding and mutual respect are so important.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Muslims are hapless victims in the Israel-Hamas war, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about shared humanity and values that transcend religion and nationality.
