Mayor Gabe Groisman captains a town of just a few thousand folk, but he’s making waves from coast to coast and even internationally. Eve sailed into the Miami area in lieu of Hurricane Dorian for a beautiful Shabbat as scholar in residence and landed a terrific interview with a man who’s determined to sink injustice. From anti-BDS legislation to codifying anti-Semitic hate crimes, he floats his ideas and then anchors them in law, inspiring other mayors to follow in his wake and push back the tidal wave of vilification of Israel and Jews. He schools Eve on the upstream battles and work with global peers to end the hate and help those adrift on the sea of inaction.

Eve spent two days at the Shurat Hadin Law and War Conference hearing fascinating discussions on the subject from many different perspectives. She interviewed international law specialists Professor Avi Bell on morality in warfare and Anne Hertzberg of NGO Monitor on BDS and anti-Semitism. Can you fight morally? Does the world hold Israel to a double standard? What does religion say on the topic? If you’re in Israel on July 7th join Eve on a tour to the Shomron- www.oneisraelfund.org for details.

On this week’s edition of Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, how is it possible that the Hamas terror organization and other anti-Semites are able to maintain a presence on social media while other voices, namely conservative, have been banned? Hear from “Laura L.” a well-known conservative Jewish journalist who has essentially been banned by all social media sites. Get a behind the scenes look into what happens when your livelihood, which is dependent on the Internet, comes to a halt.

The anti-Semitic cartoon which appeared this past week in the New York Times, may or may not have been seen by the terrorist who murdered a Jewish woman and injured three others in a Poway, California Synagogue, but the overall mainstreaming of anti-Semitism, just 70 years after the Holocaust, certainly played a role. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses the Poway terror shooting, with a focus on the heroism displayed by that congregation’s worshipers in saving lives. Josh then ties in the now infamous anti-Semitic New York Times cartoon, which ran this week, with reactions and condemnations abound.

Journalist Eric Rozenman joined Eve in Washington DC to discuss his recent book “ Jews Make the Best Demons: Palestine and the Jewish Question”. How are medieval blood libels manifesting themselves today, and does ׳the old UN resolution ‘Zionism is Racism’ fit with Satanic forces? A must read for those interested in a very well researched and documented book tracing how anti-Semitism morphs from generation to generation in order to stay ‘relevant’ for whomever at the time is looking for reasons to hate- and kill- the Chosen People.

In this week’s powerful program, Ari Abramowitz & Jeremy Gimpel share a unique analysis of the disturbing events unfolding in the Democratic Party in America and the ancient spiritual roots from which they emanating in our times. Why is David Duke allying himself with Ilhan Omar? Why are Jews throughout the diaspora feeling more isolated and alienated than ever before? This exciting, entertaining, and illuminating program is one that must be heard!

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, an interview with Danny Seaman the Middle East Forum’s Israel Director, and former head of the Israel Government Press Office. Seaman pulls no punches in letting the American Jewish community know what he thinks they should be doing in response to anti-Semitic tropes from Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and the overall failure of the Democrats to pass a resolution exclusively condemning the hatred of Jews. Seaman also gives his thoughts on a new Israeli election poll which shows that PM Netanyahu’s Likud is gaining on the Blue and White party of Benny Gantz.

Eve speaks with Englishman Peter Baum, who has devoted decades to Israel advocacy. The nefarious influence of the BBC has ‘succeeded’ in creating an atmosphere of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism that was unimaginable a few years ago. The Republic of Ireland maintains its pro-Nazi ideology and even has pending legislation to criminalize using certain Israeli goods, and Corbyn may really be the next PM. Can a grassroots movement pull the former Empire back from the brink?

Eve is in Florida as part of her speaking tour for the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) on the topic of the media (mis)reporting on Israel.  She speaks with retired educator and historian Paul Shaviv after her Shabbat scholar in residence at the Palm Beach synagogue, just before heading back north to the colder climes of DC, Philadelphia and New York.   While Eve doesn’t see eye to eye with Paul on some essentially political issues, (note to many Americans- you can have a respectful disagreement….) he raises some interesting, thought provoking points. Their conversational digressions include ideas on Israel and Diaspora Jews and the miscommunications inherent in the relationship as well as the rise of anti-Semitism especially in his native England.  The gist, though, is that education is at a major crossroads across all spheres, public and private, and a crisis looms large for everyone if it isn’t figured out, and soon.

Acclaimed Swedish film-maker Bo Persson is in Israel this month for two screenings of his intensely powerful film about terrorism and anti-Semitism ‘Watching the Moon at Night’. He speaks with Eve about being inspired by eminent historian Walter Laqueur, who appears in the film along with the late French writer and philosopher André Glucksmann and the late historian of anti-Semitism, Robert S. Wistrich. Zuhdi Jasser and other brave, moderate Muslims are also interviewed.

The film also incorporates personal experiences of terror victims from Algeria, Spain, France, Moscow, Israel, New York, Colombia, Munich, Northern Ireland and elsewhere, whose voices are rarely heard.

We have seen this “film” before; an ideology that gets out of control and imperialistic only when allowed to by ignorance- whether unintentional or due to the truth being suppressed. Neutrality is not an option and is also a myth, as Bo eloquently explains about his native country during WW2.

Get this film, Watching the Moon at Night, screened in your community to a packed house. Your future may well depend on it.
