🔥 Filmmaker Gloria Z. Greenfield has been raising the red flags for decades. Her documentary films have warned the West that its lethal obesession with the Jewish People and the Jewish State is not just a threat to the Jews, it is a threat to Western Civlization. Her newest film, A Collective Descent Into Evil, is a post-October 7th commentary on the nature of antisemitism, antizionism, and a world gone mad with its genocidal hatred of the Jews.

Her film credits include:

The Case for Israel: Democracy’s Outpost

Unmasked Judeophobia

Body and Soul: The State of the Jewish Nation

The Fight of Our Lives: Defeating the Ideological War Against the West

Civilization in the Danger Zone

And her newly released documentary, A Collective Descent into Evil: The Lethal Obsession with Jews and the Jewish State

Rabbi Richard Steinberg is a Reform Rabbi in Irvine, California and one of the most passionate Zionists in America. As Reform Judaism grapples with internal antizionism and the fundamental role of Zionism to the very core of Jewish identity, Rabbi Steinberg is on the forefront of Zionist advocacy both within the Jewish community and beyond.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Rabbi Richard Steinberg and Shana Meyerson discuss the Jewish connection to Israel and whether or not it is every Jew's responsibility to stand with the Jewish State.

Since 2001, Rabbi Richard Steinberg has transformed Congregation Shir Ha-Ma’alot into one of Orange County’s thriving Reform Jewish communities, more than doubling its membership from fewer than 300 to over 625 families and building the county’s largest religious school. A passionate educator and visionary community leader, Rabbi Steinberg has made Jewish identity, education, and belonging central to his rabbinate. Under his leadership, the congregation has become a vibrant spiritual home dedicated to making Judaism compelling, relevant, and meaningful across generations.

Ordained at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion, Rabbi Steinberg began his rabbinic career at Cincinnati’s historic Isaac M. Wise Temple, a foundational institution of Reform Judaism.

His influence extends well beyond the pulpit. He has served on the Central Conference of American Rabbis Board of Trustees, the CCAR/URJ Placement Commission, and the Orange County Human Relations Commission. He is also a former president of the Orange County Board of Rabbis and has served as chaplain to the Irvine Police Department. Rabbi Steinberg holds advanced degrees in Hebrew Letters and Marriage and Family Therapy and is a licensed psychotherapist.

U.S. foreign aid is a topic of immense discussion right now. Particularly United States foreign aid to Israel. What if I told you that everything you think you know about a supposed $3.8 billion aid package to the Jewish State is wrong and America doesn’t actually send a single dollar to Israel? Ambassador Yoram Ettinger explains how “aid” to Israel really works and what America gets in return.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Amb. Yoram Ettinger and Shana Meyerson discuss America’s investment in Israel and the tremendous ROI it brings with it.

✍🏻 YORAM ETTINGER “US ‘FOREIGN AID’ TO ISRAEL? US’ SMARTEST INVESTMENT!”: https://theettingerreport.com/us-foreign-aid-to-israel-us-smartest-investment/

Ambassador Yoram Ettinger is a veteran Israeli diplomat, geopolitical analyst, researcher, and commentator specializing in U.S.-Israel relations, Middle East affairs, and Jewish-Arab demography. He served as Israel’s Congressional Liaison in Washington, D.C., with the rank of Ambassador (1989–1992), Consul General to the Southwestern United States (1985–1988), and Director of Israel’s Government Press Office (1988–1989). With five decades of experience, Ettinger has advised U.S. and Israeli legislators and regularly briefs policymakers on Capitol Hill.

Known for his politically incorrect, evidence-driven perspectives, Ettinger challenges conventional wisdom about Israel’s strategic importance. Central to his work is “What’s in it for the U.S.?” He argues that American military assistance to Israel is not charity but a highly profitable strategic investment, delivering substantial national security, defense, and economic returns. A prolific writer and co-founder of the America-Israel Demographic Research Group, Ettinger also examines Iran, Palestinian statehood, regional instability, and demographic trends.

You know his name. You know his AI-generated twin avatar. Now meet the man. And remember his name. Yehuda Meitav is about to become the most famous Zionist on earth. It’s been just two months since his first anthem, As A Jew, went live…and then viral. And today, on October 7th—the day that changed Israel and the Jewish world forever—his unapologetically Zionist voice is only getting louder and more powerful.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Yehuda Meitav discusses his music, his story, and his incredibly inspiring voice with Shana Meyerson, and reminds us that Am Yisrael is here to stay.

Yehuda Meitav is an Israeli-born artist, author, illustrator and songwriter now based in Australia. His creative work is deeply rooted in identity, memory, history and the Jewish experience, with much of his recent music reflecting on Israel, antisemitism, October 7, resilience and the importance of standing up for truth. Through his songs and visual storytelling, he has built a growing online community around the idea that art can educate, challenge, comfort and bring light into difficult conversations.

Alongside his music, Yehuda has written and illustrated books and has spent many years creating across different artistic forms. His focus today is on using music as a way to preserve memory, confront misinformation and give voice to people who often feel unheard. Whether the subject is grief, faith, history, Israel or Jewish identity, his work is driven by a simple belief: creativity can reach people in ways arguments often cannot, and sometimes a song can open a door that words alone cannot.

It's 2026, and hostility toward Israel, Zionists and Jews has spread into virtually every corner of society. Publishing is no exception. Jewish writers are rejected because they are Jewish, while even non-Jewish authors writing about Israel or Jewish themes struggle to find publishers.

As in generations past, Jewish publishing houses are emerging to fill the void and preserve a proud, timeless tradition of Jewish writing. Wicked Son is leading the way.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Wicked Son’s Adam Bellow, David Bernstein, and Meg Keene, talk with Shana Meyerson about the current landscape for Jewish authors & books, and how Wicked Son is positively shaping it.

Most people’s concept of feminism centers around themes of women’s equality, empowerment, and sisterhood. That was how the first wave feminists saw it, too. My, how things have changed. As feminist theory has devolved since the 1960s into a generic amalgamation of intersectionality and wokeism, antizionism and antisemitism have taken centerstage and Jewish women have been portrayed as the villain.

For those who were shocked by feminists shrieking “Rape is Resistance!” after the atrocities and massacre of October 7th, this conversation will explain why the “women’s movement” decided #metoo unless you’re a Jew, and not to believe Jewish women.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Kara Jesella discusses her book, Feminist Antisemitism: An Intellectual History, with Shana Meyerson, and how antisemitism has become so central to academic feminist theory.

📕 KARA JESELLA, “FEMINIST ANTISEMITISM: AN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY”: https://amzn.to/4rcP8jA

Kara Jesella is the author of Feminist Antisemitism: An Intellectual History, published by Routledge in June, 2026.

A former journalist, she has written for the New York Times, Quillette, Ms., Tablet, and many other publications, and authored a cultural history of Sassy, a nineties-era feminist teen magazine, that was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. She is a Fellow of the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and based in New York City.

What is the first country to come to mind when I say “ethnostate”? I bet you said Israel. Have you ever asked why? Because when it comes to “ethnostates” there are many countries that fit the designation far more accurately than the Jewish State. .

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Kile Jones and Shana Meyerson discuss Kile’s “The Ethnostate Test” report and its findings. They’re not what you would expect.

The world changed on September 11, 2001. Islamic terrorists flew two planes into the World Trade Center in New York, two into the Pentagon, and a third was taken down by brave passengers in Pennsylvania. 2997 victims were killed and neither the New York skyline nor America would ever be the same.

Fast forward to October 7, 2023. Islamist terrorists broke into Southern Israel, massacred 1200 victims, took 251 hostages, raped, beheaded, dismembered, and terrorized thousands of men, women, and children. Neither Israel nor the world will ever be the same.

🇮🇱 “Settler Colonialist” 🇮🇱 “Apartheid” 🇮🇱 “Genocide” 🇮🇱 “Illegitimate” 🇮🇱 “Occupiers” 🇮🇱 “Jewish Supremacy” 🇮🇱 All nothing more than LIES and PROPAGANDA told about Israel, the only Jewish state. In his landmark book, "Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law,” Judge Roy Altman applies international legal standards to each of these allegations to prove just how false they really are.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Judge Roy Altman and Shana Meyerson discuss the legal defense of Israel in the face of preposterous charges against it. PART 2 OF 2.

Roy K. Altman is a U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida. At 36, he became the youngest federal district court judge in the country. Altman received his BA from Columbia University, where he played quarterback for the football team and pitched for the baseball team, earning All-Ivy honors. Altman received his JD from the Yale Law School, where he was projects editor of the Yale Law Journal.

After clerking, Altman became a federal prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, where he twice received the Director of the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys' Award for Superior Performance--a nationwide honor. In 2013, Altman was named "Federal Prosecutor of the Year" by the Miami-Dade Chiefs of Police and the Law Enforcement Officers' Charitable Foundation.

In 2014, Altman became a partner at the Miami law firm of Podhurst Orseck, where he represented the victims of bank-fraud conspiracies and international airplane crashes--including the families of passengers aboard Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.

Since the Hamas massacres in Southern Israel on October 7, 2023, Altman has led dozens of federal judges from all across the United States on the first-ever Judicial Education Missions to Israel. He's also given hundreds of speeches about Israel, antisemitism, and the rule of law at colleges, law schools, churches, synagogues, and community centers around the world.

The most famous and infamous antisemitic movement in history is that of Nazi Germany. Htiler’s Holocaust against the Jewish people—his Final Solution—was the epitome of evil as he exterminated 6,000,000 Jews in a genocidal attempt to cleanse all of Europe of its Jewish population. And it all started with a very careful crafted propaganda campaign. As the world is consumed, once again, with rabid and viral antisemitism, are we seeing the Nazi playbook playing out once more? How new is the New Antisemitism, really?

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, David Hirsh and Shana Meyerson compare and contrast the antisemitism of the Nazis to that of today’s Islamists and populists.

Kile B. Jones was taught to be an antizionist. Highly educated and ethically driven, everything he ever learned drove him to the same conclusion: Israel was an immoral and unjust Jewish supremacist movement. And then, his open mind and rigorous research drove him somewhere else…

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Kile Jones and Shana Meyerson discuss the ideologies of antizionism and Zionism and how intellectual and moral honesty changed everything Kile was taught to believe.

Kile Jones researches and writes on modern antizionism, history, and the uses of language, working alongside the Jewish community to fight Jew-hatred. He holds two master’s degrees, an M.T.S. and S.T.M. in Religious Studies, from Boston University. A long-time bridge-builder, Jones has created interfaith programs and projects including “Interview an Atheist at Church Day,” and founded and edited the Claremont Journal of Religion at the Claremont Colleges. His work has appeared in philosophy, religion, and society publications, including Philosophy Now, The Humanist, The Routledge Guide, and Free Inquiry.

Josh Levs knows legacy media from the inside out. After two decades of working within the walls of left-leaning media outlets CNN and NPR, he finally left and became one of the world’s most prominent news fact-checkers. As he explains, Truth = Facts + Context, and when it comes to mass media and their treatment of Israel, that equation simply doesn’t hold.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish podcast, Josh Levs and Shana Meyerson discuss the very deliberate mass media agenda to glorify and whitewash anti-Israel Islamist terror, and demonize and undermine Israel and the IDF.

Josh Levs is host of They Stand Corrected, the podcast and Substack newsletter fact checking the news. He spent 20 years on NPR and CNN, where he became lead on-air fact checker. His many honors include Peabody Awards, Edward R. Murrow Awards, and awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Association of Black Journalists.

A popular keynote speaker, he has spoken everywhere from the United Nations to Congress, Google, and a wide array of organizations and universities. He won a debate at Oxford.

Josh launched They Stand Corrected to provide listeners with concrete facts and expose systemic problems in mainstream media. Many episodes focus on antisemitism and anti-Israel bigotry, demonstrating that news agencies even have rules institutionalizing this bias. The Elie Wiesel Foundation says, “They Stand Corrected is an important contribution to understanding how media bias has turned too many otherwise thoughtful and informed individuals against the Jewish people.”

Our colleges and universities are no longer institutions of education, but of indoctrination. On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Asaf Romirowsky to discuss The Political Economy of Antisemitism and Israel Hatred in Twenty-First Century America, and how the Jews and Israel have been the targets of a well-funded international campaign to destroy the Jewish State and eventually the West. As they say, follow the money.

Anti-Israel campus indoctrination poses a much greater threat to Western Civilization as a whole than most people realize. Asaf has been an activist for honest and balanced academic discourse and a higher education system that focuses on facts instead of hateful and dangerous lies and propaganda.

What is actually happening inside our top universities? On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Andrew Pessin to break down the root causes of rising campus antisemitism, how academic institutions are failing their students, and the concrete policy changes required to fix higher education.

The dangerous rise of antizionism, anti-Israel rhetoric, and antisemitism within the academy has reached a crisis point where Jewish and Zionist students and faculty alike feel unsafe, unwelcome, and discriminated against on campus. Andrew Pessin breaks down the problem and offers solutions to create a healthier college experience for everyone.

Andrew Pessin is Professor of Philosophy at Connecticut College, and the founder of The Institute for the Critical Study of Antizionism (ICSA), a scholarly enterprise to produce and promote critical scholarship on the history, evolution, and contemporary manifestations of antizionism as an ideology, a worldview, and a movement. With a roster of over 230 scholars (and growing), ICSA has already launched numerous project (a webinar series on the history of antizionism, a journal, and a foundational encyclopedia), with many more in the works. ICSA’s members are diverse in every way, including opinion, sharing only the belief that critical scholarship on antizionism is necessary.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Iran Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow at FDD, about the war in Iran, the current ceasefire, and how the overthrow of the IRGC may realistically be accomplished to effect regime change and liberate the Iranian people from brutal Islamist repression.

It's difficult to say if America is winning this war, but easy to say that we must. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu seized a moment and cannot let this opportunity to recalibrate the balance of power in the Middle East slip away. Perhaps peace in the Middle East lies on the horizon. Perhaps a whole new era and a new world order.

Behnam Ben Taleblu is senior director of The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) Iran Program, where he oversees the breadth and depth of FDD’s work on Iran in addition to serving as a senior fellow specializing in Iranian security and political issues. For well over a decade, Behnam has supported FDD’s Iran program as a senior fellow, research fellow, and senior Iran analyst. Prior to his time at FDD, Behnam worked on non-proliferation issues at an arms control think tank in Washington.

Always a Christian in his soul, Tinashe went through a dark period when he lost connection with God. When he finally came back, his faith was rock solid and his whole life changed.

The Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7th, 2023, awakened a new part of Tinashe. A part that felt compelled to take a stand for the Jewish State, and to use the power of his words to fight terrorism, evil, and antisemitism.

TINASHE PETER’S BIO, IN HIS OWN WORDS: Born in Zimbabwe, and raised in the United States, I’ve always been an outsider looking in. A search for identity was always the hallmark of my experience, this search led me into the darkest spaces, back into the light. I searched for meaning in everything from drugs to pseudo-spiritualities, yet nothing seemed to satisfy, not even a change of my very own name could give me what the true and living God could. And so, after a lifetimes worth of searching for the truth, the Truth has now found me again, leading me to return back to my name of origin, Tinashe Peter, and along with this Truth, has come the unraveling of the all too often, unpopular opinions that contradict the many lives we are fed on a daily basis by mainstream media outlets.

On this episode of the Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson talks with Thane Rosenbaum about the alarming rise of antisemitism and antizionism across the globe. Jew Hatred has been normalized in academia, media, politics, diplomacy, social media and “polite" society. Its manifestations have crossed over into incitement to violence, which is not protected speech.

Thane is a legal analyst and international law scholar who explains how far 1st Amendment protections stretch in regards to free speech and when they cross the line. As masses of Americans violently call for intifada and the massacre of Jews, the normalization of terrorist rhetoric against Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel isn't only dangerous, it just may be illegal.

The ceasefire talks are over—and the stakes just got higher. After 21 hours of high-level negotiations, the United States and Iran walked away with no deal, no extension, and no clear path forward—leaving a fragile pause in fighting on the brink of collapse. With Iran refusing key demands around its nuclear program and Washington signaling its “final offer” is already on the table, the question is no longer if tensions will rise—but how fast and how far.

On this episode of The Unapologetically Jewish Podcast, Shana Meyerson sits down with Israel Undiplomatic co-hosts Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev to break down what comes next: escalation, deterrence, or something far more strategic. Is this the end of diplomacy—or the beginning of a new phase of pressure led by Israel and the United States?
