It's 9/11. Twenty-four years ago today, Al-Qaeda exploded the Twin Towers in the worst terrorist attack to ever occur on US soil. The world was stunned and would never be the same. Islamic terror became a prominent global threat but something remarkable happened. It was a slow creep, in response to a very carefully crafted propaganda campaign, but the West started rallying in the terrorists’ defen...

There is no Palestinian State. World leaders can say anything they want, but the fact is: you cannot have a state without borders or a government. And the other fact is, the Palestinians have neither. And for good reason. The Arabs were actually offered a state by the UN in 1947 and 1948 but they rejected the partition plan outright because they refused to recognize a Jewish State. Later, this ref...

There is so much media attention on the war in Gaza and almost no context or reminders of how this war on Hamas started. It was October 7, 2023, when the terrorists and civilians of Gaza flooded Israel and committed the most unmentionable, unfathomable, and inhuman atrocities to occur in the Western World since the Holocaust. Out of that day came the most devastating of tragedies...but also the mo...

🎥 YOGA OF WAR ON YOUTUBE: https://tinyurl.com/47fpfx72 I know everyone listening has heard of Hollywood. And there is a pretty good chance you have heard of Bollywood. But have you heard of Pallywood? You should. Because I 100% guarantee you have seen it—often in the past 22 months in particular—and probably don’t even know it. Pallywood is a term coined by historian Richard Landes to describe th...

On July 15, rampaging Bedouins and Syrian forces invaded the Syrian Druze village of Suweida and massacred up to 2000 people, torturing, raping and kidnapping hundreds more in a viscous and barbaric terrorist raid disturbingly reminiscent of October 7th. With fewer than a million Druze in the entire world—most of them concentrated in Syria, Israel, Lebanon and Jordan—this was a devastating tragedy...

If you’re anything like me, there is a good chance you wake up every morning these days, wary of what the new day will bring and go to sleep each night wondering what the hell just happened. It’s been 22 months of Orwellian insanity and, to be honest, sometimes I just think I am losing my mind. October 7, 2023 was the day that common decency went out the window and basic morality decided to take a...

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...

The Yoga of War Podcast has been blessed with some truly incredible guests. A litany of the most important and influential pro-Israel voices on earth have graced the show with both their presence and their knowledge. But today, I am joined by perhaps the wisest, most articulate and most intelligent of all the commentators. Barely ten years old, Ben Carasso is the coronated Spokeskid of Israel. But...

Israel and the Jewish People have been absolutely blessed with some incredible, vocal, and powerful Christian Zionist allies who have proven to be absolute heroes since the Hamas terrorist massacre on October 7, 2023. While so many people have lost sight of their Judeo-Christian values of condemning terror, defending justice, and loving one's neighbors, others have heard the call loud and clear. I...

By extraordinary luck, I found myself in a private chat with an absolute hero of truth and morality, urban warfare expert, John Spencer ( @johnspencer328 ). I have to be honest, when...

Pay attention a little closer, and you probably know Tessa Veksler and Eli Tsives, too. These pro-Israel campus activists have gotten a tremendous amount of media and social media attenti...

The Israel-Hamas War is now in Day 628. Certainly you have heard about Israel Defense Forces reservists who have served 300 days of active duty. IDF Sergeant Major @chaimalespin just completed 628. That means for 628 consecutive days, Chaim has voluntarily put his family, his business, his life, and his personal safety on the back burner in order to defend his country. It's a kind of patriotic com...

Miri Gad Messika is a third-generation member of Kibbutz Be'eri and a graduate of the communal child-rearing system. Brought up in the idyllic Southern Israel community, directly on the border with Gaza, no one in her community ever could have imagined the horrors that unfolded on October 7, 2023. On that horrifying and fateful day--like all 1200 members of Be'eri--Miri, her husband, and three chi...

On October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorists launched a savage attack on southern Israel. 1200 were sadistically massacred, thousands more horrifically maimed, and 251 were viciously abducted as hostages back to Gaza. Today, 615 days later, there remain 55 hostages in brutal captivity, 20 of whom are still assumed to be alive. Among them, 24-year-old Bipin Joshi, a Nepali agriculture student who risked his...

Everyone knows that Israel is engaged in a war in Gaza. What most people don't know is that this isn't a war ON Gaza. But actually on a country 1500 miles away. It is a war on the Iranian Regime. Confused? Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies is an expert on Iran and has been advising the White House all the way back to the (W) Bush Administration. And one thing you need...

In Psalm 118 Verse 22, it is stated, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” That builder’s stone—the one in the corner, the base, the foundation—is so often forgotten and ignored, buried below the magnificent structure that towers above it. But there’s only one problem: if you take away that stone, the entire edifice crumbles. Today, that stone is our Judeo-Christian va...

For many people around the globe—pro-Israel, anti-Israel, Jewish, non-Jewish—the 10/7 War is their first real awareness of the Israel-Gaza Conflict. We are all being bombarded, day in & day out, with a surreal narrative wherein 97% of all articles about the war cite Hamas terrorist sources rather than those of the legitimate, democratic government of Israel. Or should I say, the Jewish State?...

🔇 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🔇 Am Yisrael Chai! The Nation of Israel Lives! It's become an anthem, a greeting, a prayer, an affirmation, a war call. And it is all of that and none of that, at once. As Rabbi Leor Sinai says, "Am Yisrael Chai is not a slogan. It's a way of life." So what does it really mean? What is it about these...

On October 5, 2023, international Ju-Jitsu champion & IDF elite special ops trainer Sagi Dovev launched SORTEAM, a resilience training program with a roster of lucrative contracts already in place. Decades of tireless work was about to pay off in tremendous dividends. Two days later, the October 7 pogrom was unleashed on Israel and Sagi immediately packed his bag. Without a moment’s hesitation...
