𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗻 is the editor-in-chief of the 𝗝𝗲𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 (𝗝𝗡𝗦), one of the most credible and widely recognized voices in Jewish journalism worldwide. Following 𝗜𝘀𝗿𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗘𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘀's explosive interview with 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 (Ep 23), Tobin joins 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 to dismantle the claims, the lies, and the propaganda that Finkelstein and his allies continue to spread.
From the genocide accusation myth to blood libels to the real meaning of proportionality, Tobin pulls no punches. He explains why Palestinian nationalism has become a death cult, why Gaza could have been beach side haven for the rich and famous but chose tunnels instead, and why the phrase "From the River to the Sea" is not free speech but an incitement to genocide of Jews. Ellis shares a firsthand account of an anti-Israel "From the River to the Sea" incident aboard an Air Canada flight that underscores just how deeply subversive anti-Israel and thereby antisemitic normalization is within everyday life.
This is a conversation that needs to be had. The rise of antisemitism in the West is a dilemma for every Jew — is this a return to the 1930s? Should we stay or should we go? Can this be fixed?
