Join us as we welcome UFC fighter Natan Levy, pro Israeli boxer David Alaverdian, and Holocaust survivor Marvin Lashever for an intense and enlightening conversation. Navigating the world of sports, history, and current affairs, we get a chance to peel back layers of their experiences and thoughts, as they discuss the nuances of MMA and boxing, and Marvin's heart-wrenching journey as a Holocaust survivor.
We tread into sobering territory as we discuss the Palestinian cause and the stark differences between a war and a terrorist invasion. Our guests share their unique perspectives on the double standards in the global response to Jewish suffering and shed light on the complexities of Jewish identity and the ongoing struggle with anti-Semitism. Marvin's candid insights into the necessity for self-defense in Israel and the US, based on his own experiences, make for a particularly powerful segment of the conversation.
Finally, we venture into the intricate web of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, closely examining the roles of the Israeli Army, the US-Israeli alliance, and the narratives surrounding Jewish people globally. As the discussion unfolds, our guests highlight the importance of supporting Israel, rejecting violence, and raising public awareness about the realities in Israel. Join us for this thought-provoking episode as we bridge the worlds of sports, history, and geopolitics, and take a deep look at the realities that are not often brought to light.
