Episode 19: Redefining Zionism & Canada's Anti-Israel Problem with Liberal MP Anthony Housefather

Watch this episode on YouTube @JonahPlattOfficial

Last year, Canadian Liberal Member of Parliament Anthony Housefather, a loud and proud Jewish political leader for many years, passionately denounced a virulently anti-Israel House resolution and even voted against his own party on it. His defiant and eloquent oration was the “speech heard ‘round the Jewish world,” inspiring others to take similar stands in their own communities.  Today, Housefather joins Jonah to discuss the shocking challenges that face the Canadian Jewish community, while offering expert insights and genuine hope on how to move forward towards a safer, more stable future. Together, they discuss the importance of holding political parties accountable, pushing for change from within, and always being proud of who you are. They also chat about the truth behind Trudeau’s ouster, Montreal’s rich Jewish history, and bagels! Tune in for this eye-opening and enlightening conversation you won’t hear anywhere else than on BEING JEWISH WITH JONAH PLATT.
