Stand with Israel🇮🇱 The west is next🇮🇱🕎

I am a American Jew,I love this country and I will defend its values till the end.

It is so nice to hear a leading Jewish thinker notice that conservative Christian people face the same issues and concerns. Our struggle is so similar. I support Israel in every way I can - I think we need to find ways to work together to provide the lives we desire for our children.

I've always wondered why a large amount of Jews stayed in Germany while a few left. Why didn't they all leave? Someone explained it to me...they were comfortable. I see that happening to Jews in America. The antisemitism is NOT going away. Sure, there's a lot of fighting from other countries in Israel, BUT in Israel, you'll be supported for being a Jew. I support and pray for Israel.

The Jews who are marching alongside Hamas are saying, as Howard Philipps used to warn, "Pet the crocodile and he will eat you last."

Pray that Christians rally behind Jews and fight for our freedom. ❤️🙏🙏🙏😊

The Judeo-Christian worldview based on the Bible is the basis of life, goodness, freedom, and civil society. Jews and Christians must fight together to preserve it or sink into a nightmare of cruelty and barbarism all over the world. May God preserve Israel ! - American Christian

Eric Cohen asks if there is a future for Jews in America. That depends solely on the US Dems leaders. If they continue to value radical Muslim voters as more important for them to win the elections than opposing their anti-Semitism the answer is no, sad to say.

For the 100th time there are no Palestinians. There is no Palestine. Please do not repeat it anymore. Those are Arab tribes coming from other countries you can recognize them by their family names. There is no Palestine and there are no Palestinian people stop repeating it please

Glad I graduated from university before all this happened

It’s going to be a tough challenge. I’m a Jewish woman approaching age 70. I transitioned away from the progressive left a few years ago. But I see most of my liberal friends and family being unaware of the changes that represent the party they and their parents always belonged to. It’s hard for them to let go, especially if it means supporting the right. I agree that building new, more welcoming universities is the way to go. But I just wonder if people can let go of the idea that universities, like Harvard and Yale, are now openly against us.

When I was an undergrad I attended a presentation by a gentile conservative prof who spent a career documenting the fact that antisemitism was endemic in socialist thought and practice.

Excellent choice for a guest. Very high quality.

Judah, Levi and Benjamin are AWAKE

Thank you for raising such an important question. It's time to fight back.

“Being a Jew matters”.- well stated.

I've read that Quatar et al have spent years planning and investing in getting Islamist professors in various US universities, some of whom are possibly now tenured or approaching that status. I hope you (Mr Tobin) investigate & cover that in another episode.

This is so incredibly distressing, but, I know, much needed to deal with.

Thank you Eric Cohen ! I agree with you assessment

Jewish education is sadly lacking in Western countries !

Thank you for how you have contributed to America and are working to save this country. I would also abandon the Marxist universities because they are lost. However keep your eyes open. In 1920's and 1930's Germany, some Jewish people said that they were no longer Jews but "we're Germans now". There is a time to leave a hostile country. And if America continues down the current path with a hostile WH, the time might come for you to get your affairs in order and go to Israel for the safety of yourselves and your families. As a Christian, I love the Jewish people and am very thankful to you.

Y E S !!! WE NEED A STRONG JEWISH PRESENCE HERE!!! PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE!!! ❤️❤️❤️

The same situation in the UK too. Our great centres of learning of a bygone era, Oxford, Cambridge and so on, are no longer the same centres of excellence they once were. With multi culturism, not to offend other religions, they have done away with the British Judeo-Christian values of teaching in our schools and universities. God have mercy on our next generation growing up in the UKx

Thank you. This needs to get publicized to so many.

🇺🇸 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces. Psalm 122: 6,7 ❤

Sad to say the least.

I live in the Deep South and all those I know stand for and pray for Israel’s right to exist.

Schools are not picking Jews for entrance to university. Havard said that. If the Democrats win this cycle, the Jewish experience will be over. Get another passport.

As a Jewish American Israeli living in the US, the barbaric October 7th massacre slapped me hard into the reality of a simmering Anti-Semitism that has always been here, awakened by the muslims who were ALLOWED to infiltrate the US for this express purpose, in addition to taking down America which they are doing simultaneously. People I know, including Jews, don't understand the seriousness of the problem, increased by the years of intentional broken borders bringing in criminals and army age single men who are being dispersed throughout the "great" US of A to bring chaos and harm to those looking away from their new reality. I feel safer in Israel, however dire the situation there, because in Israel we know the enemy. We will survive and win our extstential fight for survival. As for the US, I don't have high hopes. While I appreciate your good ideas for American Jews, you are ignoring the big picture, taking into consideration other factors. And don't get me started on all of the Jewish organizations who have claimed for years that they are fighting Jew hate, yet have done nothing except take money, and for who knows what. Anti-Semitism is only growing because people who support Israel do so silently. Silence is acquiesence. This IS a repeat of Nazi Germany, only louder and incredibly far wider.

Great guest and hope he can get his points across to the Jews and those on their side but will be hard to do but he sees this. I feel will loose too much if the Jews leave or stay with the haters.

I’ve come to this same conclusion a few weeks ago. The Jewish diaspora needs to rally and fight this (non-violently). If we let America fall, we all fall.

Great programming!

All beloved Jews need to read the Torah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, King David, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Zechariah! Return to the LORD and seek Him diligently and all the prophecies will come into understanding! Time is so short. Jacob’s Trouble is fast approaching! ❤🇮🇱👆🏼⚡️

Very refreshing and enlightening; thank you!

One thing to do is to vote for Trump, for the sake of Israel, American Jews, America and the World.

The Westerners will eventually understand that but it will be too late

Many thanks to you both 🖖🩷🙏

It's unlikely that the Jewish professors of the Frankfurt School who introduced toxic critical theory into American universities considered that it might one day backfire on their own people. Along with the promotion of "multiculturalism," it was likely never thought of as a potential danger to Jews themselves., unfortunately. The more limited goal was merely undermining a body politic's essential foundations along with the predominant ethnicity which constituted it.

I stand with Israel - GOD is separating the sheep from the goats

Jewish American teens can also consider not attending college at all. Is college nowadays a good investment of time and money. Also, consider joining the armed forces. If possible attend a service academy.

Exceptionally thoughtful guest. The Louis D. Brandeis School of Law, which I graduated from could certainly use Jewish professors to become the Southeast's premiere legal school promoting justice for all, regardless of the names of the parties involved.

This was excellent and hopeful and inspiring

At would be a disaster if the USA turned wholesale against the Jewish people. As was known during the founding people, "“May the same wonder-working Deity who long since delivering the Hebrews from their Egyptian oppressors, planted them in the promised land - whose providential agency has lately been conspicuous in establishing these United States as an independent nation - still continue to water them with the dews of Heaven and to make the inhabitants of every denomination participate in the temporal and spiritual blessing of that people whose God is Jehovah.” - 1789, Letter to Congregation Mikve Israel (Savannah, Georgia)" ~ George Washington The book of Genesis makes it clear, "12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a] 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” "

Excellent!

God Bless Israel !!

This whole mess has sparked me to study Judaism and the history of Israel. I was raised Evangelical, but my moms side is Jewish going back for the whole family line. My favorite Rabbi I watch on KZfaq is Rabbi Simon Jacobson. I wear my magen david every day. If I have children, I will teach them Judaism and to have pride in who they are.

Love the idea of 300 of the most excellent professors across the various disciplines would high tail it out of the "top" legacy universities, Exciting! How it would transform the status, output and student culture of those universities visibly within a few years.

Simple solution - Just vote for Trump.

These podcasts are so important. Brilliant

He is right.

By the time you introduced Eric on screen I forgot he was supposed to be there 😂

I think Chabad has been a very positive influence.

Is there a future for Jews in America ? Is there a future for anyone in America ? Or for the Union of American States ?

Great conversation

Don Meredith used to sing, Turn out the lights, the party's over.

Thank you so more this conversation.

Very interesting !

20 minutes in it!!! Every word!! I hope your influence and ideas are great to just pick them up and do it!!!!

Get the message. Hashem is calling all jews home to redeem us.

Eric Cohen and Jonathan Tobin, it is not good to lie.

Excuse me! FJB

Yes…a new paradigm!

Agreed.Be strong and stand up against prejudice anywhere in the world.

Jewish life is unsafe every where. Better to face that truth sooner rather than later.

Not only have the Jews been a great addition to American culture. Persia, under Cyrus the great saw the exceptional strengths and talents of the Jewish people, so Cyrus sent them back to re-establish their own nation, specially the temple, the center of Jewish religious life. Islam is an invasive, foreign, religious ideology in Persia established at the point of a sword.

Rank colleges for better acceptance ! Excellent

I'm not Jewish, but I am 100% pro-Israel, and I agree totally with everything discussed in this talk. Also, I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr... -genuinely wants to heal the 'culture war' divide in our country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly -has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet) -not phony -incorruptible, cannot be bought or bullied -thoughtful and introspective, deeply considers problems and possible solutions -vocal about the corruption of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government -vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (Pharma, banks, oil, big ag, military industrial complex) -wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex -wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine problem via negotiations -vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media -wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives) -wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc -wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc -advocate for civil liberties -vocally against censorship (will free Snowden and Assange on 'day 1') -against mandates and police state-like policies -classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics) -vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping -would put the federal budget on blockchain to be fully transparent for all citizens -passionate about environmental and ecological concerns -passionate about investing in regenerative farming practice -passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods' -wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc -will immediately close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue - for many reasons) -will send the necessary Asylum Judges to the border to expedite the process for legal migrants -has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent costs down dramatically) -due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures -due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government *I wrote the list above many months before Oct 7, 2023. I should add, especially directed towards my brothers and sisters of the populist 'left' and populist 'right', 'progressives', 'libertarians', and people who are just antiwar, in general... -RFK Jr. is in support of Israel (as am I). However, this in *no* way means he isn't also in support of helping the innocent people within Gaza. RFK Jr. has always been very aware of the conditions for the people within Gaza, and is especially aware of, and feels deep heartache for, the Hell they are living in now. As President, he is a person who would do all he could to help seek lasting peace and prosperity for all in the region -although RFK Jr. is a supporter of Israel, he is not a fan of Netanyahu, and has said repeatedly that he would *not* be writing him a blank check with American dollars to do with as he wishes -there is no one who would fight harder or more tirelessly to reach out to everyone involved, as well as to leaders outside of the region, to try to negotiate and implement a sustainable peaceful solution for both the Israelis and the Palestinians. RFK Jr. would bring many ideas and a commitment to approaching the problem there from several different angles, and involving several other players. In fact, he would have been doing this before Oct. 7. (Simply yelling 'apartheid', 'genocide', etc is *not* in service of an actual *solution* - ask Hamas) -and unlike anyone from the 2 major parties who supports Israel, RFK Jr. would never be lead by the corrupt (and disgusting) sheer financial interests of the Military Industrial Complex when it comes to *any* of America's foreign policy; including with Israel

Mazel tov on new, vibrant format. Extremely important topic. Hope you will address this one a lot as it is one of the dominant focal points among Jews in the West.

American Exceptionalism means that America has been exceptionally badly governed throughout the postwar era.

Vote for Trump if you want this nonsense to stop. Think about it.

It’s an amazing feat of illogic that so many commenting on this conversation came away with the conclusion that the solution to the problem and ensuring American democracy survives is to vote for the one man who poses the greatest threat to American democracy since Jefferson Davis. The way to support Judaism is not to sell out our core values by voting for someone whose entire life represents the antithesis to Jewish values. My models of an ideal Jewish life were not arrogant liars, cheats, philanderers, adulterers, racists or con artists.

"Recommitt". Done. I ain't going anywhere.

I just saw a clip where a journalist & crew were threatened by two Middle Eastern looking men and someone in back threw a bottle at them. This was in Australia ( don’t know name of school) and something caught my attention & I had to re- view it. The main man threatening the journalist had grey in his beard. Returning student? I don’t think so. I believe we NEED to send someone into those crowds, with a scarf on or in some way look like them so they’re not in danger and LOOK for OBVIOUS Agitators & representatives from terrorist organizations. Wander through & talk JUST enough to know if this is American or Australian or from where they come. Better idea- don’t go in alone & have someone else out of view take pictures of these people !!! We’re not yet aware how many students are not going to get over it, go back to school, home, SUMMER VACATION & how many are actually being RECRUITED to get in deeper in terrorist cells!!! There’s some REAL DANGER there!

Why doesn’t Brandeis University have a law school when Justice Brandeis was the first Jewish US Supreme Court Justice in US History? I think that establishing a law school of the highest academic standards at Brandeis University is long overdue.

That antisemitism on a select number of college campuses is on the rise is indisputable, but rather than surrendering to this trend I would argue that it makes more sense to challenge the misconceptions responsible for nurturing these beliefs. It is difficult to envision Southern institutions of Higher Education ever freeing themselves from their hundreds of years of intolerance and discrimination of their non-White residents. The recent efforts of State Departments of Educational in a number of to ban the Diary of Ann Frank captures this in willingness to understand the Jewish experience. If SMU or TCU experiences an influx of Jewish students, how do you expect thier alumni will react to this increase in diversity? In short, I'd rather stand and battle antisemitism, rather than surrendering to dispair.

There are only about 40 % of the people in the US who are americans

Bring back exceptionalizm to America, Israel,Australia, 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇦🇺and the🌎

It would be nice if there were to be a conversation around “every day” Jews in America. Most don’t worry about sending our kids to Ivy League schools.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Eric sounds like my dad as he runs out of breath. Very good presentation but I would be dang if my dad would abandone columbia. He got a PhD there and became an assistant professor there followed by a glorious 40 year career as full prof in engineering mechanics at va. Tech in blacksburg va He wrote the book "structure in architecture in 1964. Followe

The changes in American universities starting in the 1960s and 70s, marked by social movements and the diversification of the student population, introduced critical ideas that questioned traditional structures. Jewish intellectuals like Herbert Marcuse and Theodor Adorno, influential in critical theory and cultural studies, contributed to these transformations.

While I disagree with their statement that the Current Camps protests were Pro-Hamas (no doubt few of them were) instead of Pro-Palestinians, I agree with everything they proposed to strengthen the Jews education. This is the real sources for the enduring success of Jews throughout the history!

I stand with Israel

The God who chose israel never change. American can go down but never Israel. Its time for ALL jews to return to their land God set apart fro them. Then the Messiah Yeshua shall come again as He first came 2000 years ago for those eagerly await Him.

A good "first episode" although I'm not sure why the name of the program was changed, the format seems about the same. But the guest was obviously right -- the battle lines need to be drawn. A lot is at stake.

🙏🙏

Not all is mistaken; knew since many years; the left and Islam

Why stay in a country who has not protected the Jews for many years? We have Israel, where we live in dignity, and in prosperity Thank God that I am in Israeli and I am so proud of it All Jews should come to Israel. This will solve the problem. We are such a good country, and we are peaceful in what we are, and nobody can tell us otherwise, even the Jews who are living in America right now who have to take the consequences for doing nothing for many years

And sad as it is, I have never understood why so many Jewish people and parts of the Jewish organizations have apparently not understood this, and promoted Muslim immigration.

Come to India for a break from anti-semitism anytime, Jewish friends: vacation, business, life, leisure in a very large and welcoming country.

Anti-Netanyahu and anti-Israeli-government is not equal to anti-Semitism.

he's basically talking about non-religious (in any meaningful) American jews as opposed to Jewish Americans that have a feeling for Israel and Judaism...

Hardly,

Honestly after the second war things changed dramatically regarding tolerance. Only some muslim countries are sticking to the past.

They should follow the " Law of Return"

Of course. How else will Israel survive?

Not in the West.❤

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem .JESUS is LORD 🙌

When Bill Scranton was preparing to run for president on 1968, his wife reminded him he had work to do at home.

Jewish professors introduced these changes with the intention of undermining the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) tradition
