The Yoga of War Podcast: Fighting for Israel & The Jewish People

By: Shana Meyerson
  • Summary

  • Yoga, Ahimsa & The Tragedy Of War

    The Yoga of War Podcast features conversations and insights on the moral implications of the Israel-Gaza War from a wide variety of pro-Israel voices and perspectives.

    Ahimsa is nonviolence and a cornerstone of yogic living. War is something to be avoided whenever possible, but also (per the Bhagavad Gita) a moral imperative when it comes to defending yourself and your community.

    After the massacre and unthinkable atrocities of October 7, 2023, Israel had no choice but to go to war and finally defeat its enemies on seven fronts, starting with Hamas in Gaza.

    The IDF takes extraordinary measures literally unheard of in the history of warfare to mitigate civilian casualties, but tragically, every war results in civilian deaths. That is an inevitable reality.

    To support Israel in this war isn’t to support war nor is it to ignore the horrors occurring in Gaza. It is to support the right of a nation to defend itself and its people in hopes of peace on both sides of the border.

  • Jonah Platt | Actor, Artist, Activist, Jew | Israel-Hamas War | Conversation with Shana Meyerson
    Feb 23 2025

    Since the Hamas terror massacre of 10/7/23, the world has seen a repugnant dynamic never seen before in history. Massive swaths of Western Society disgracefully siding with the terrorists and vilifying Israel for their own victimhood.

    But it didn't stop there. A vicious and violent wave of antisemitism not seen since WWII has swept the entire world. So-called "social justice warriors" started ripping down posters of Israeli babies and grandfathers taken brutal hostage by barbaric monsters, and using "anti-Zionism" as a thinly veiled excuse to normalize Jew Hatred.

    The influencers of Hollywood have remained basically silent. The Jews of Hollywood have remained shamefully silent with the exception of a proud few. The Jews without trembling knees. And Jonah Platt ( @JonahPlattOfficial ) has been right there at the front of the pack.

    A proud and vocal advocate for Israel and the Jewish People, Jonah launched the Being Jewish with Jonah Platt Podcast to empower, educate, and explore issues affecting the Jewish community both at home and abroad. Bucking the silence, he has been an important voice in providing rational and relatable content to fight antisemitism and support the Jewish State in its just war on terror.

    In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Jonah Platt discuss Israel and antisemitism and why every voice matters in this battle of good vs. evil.

    If you are a yogi or yogini who considers yourself Anti-Israel or Anti-Zionist, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion, understand the many forms that antisemitism takes and how you can be part of the solution. In this yoga world, there is no place for hate.

  • Doron Keidar | Justice vs. Vengeance | Israel-Hamas War | Conversation with Shana Meyerson
    Feb 18 2025

    Doron Keidar has been defending the State of Israel since 2003. First in a combat unit, and then in the IDF Special Forces Reserves since 2017. But it's only in this most current war in Gaza that he has fought two simultaneous battles: the war against Hamas and the Information War, which has been equally brutal.

    A convert to Judaism and a lifelong Zionist, Doron lives by the IDF moral code--the moral code of the Jews. His mission in life is to protect and serve, never to kill or destroy.

    In this war of good vs. evil, of legitimate warfare vs. terrorism, there has been so much moral confusion. Even a large swath of the "good guys" don't understand who the good guys are anymore.

    In this conversation, Shana Meyerson and Doron discuss the moral standards of the Israel Defense Forces, what it means to be a soldier of faith, and what it means to have to fight in a war for your own survival.

    If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks there is any moral equivalence between the sadistic Hamas terrorists and the Israel Defense Forces, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about what real-life war actually entails, how religious values change the battlefield, and how the anti-Zionists have it all wrong.
