43:35Now PlayingIn this episode of Soothing Semantics, Rafi Harel sits down with Shabbos Kestenbaum to break down the obsession with AIPAC, the “Israel lobby” narrative, and why so many people online keep blaming Israel and the Jews for everything wrong in politics.
They discuss Anna Kasparian, Thomas Massie, Nick Fuentes, Piers Morgan, campaign finance, antisemitism, Israel’s military self-reliance, the two-state solution, and whether the Israel-Palestinian conflict is ultimately political or religious.
Shabbos also explains why antisemitism is often not the root cause, but a symptom of a deeper societal crisis — one driven by nihilism, demoralization, conspiracy thinking, and the search for scapegoats.
If you care about Israel, Jewish identity, geopolitics, media narratives, and the future of the West, this is a conversation you do not want to miss.
