Is Israel Committing Genocide in Gaza?

In this bold and timely episode, our Rabbis Rubenstein take on one of the most serious and inflammatory accusations facing the Jewish state today: the charge that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

From the headlines to the hashtags, this claim has gained traction around the world — but what’s really behind it? The Rabbis cut through the misinformation and double standards to present a clear, Jewish defense of Israel. Grounded in facts, Jewish ethics, and historical context, they explore how these accusations distort both international law and Jewish values.

What does Judaism actually say about war, self-defense, and the sanctity of life — including the lives of one’s own people? How should Jews respond to the moral confusion and outright hostility surrounding this issue?

This episode is a passionate and principled response to a dangerous lie, and a reminder that defending Israel is not just a political act — it's a spiritual and moral responsibility.
