Yardena Schwartz1929 Hebron massacreArab-Israeli conflictGhosts of a Holy Warhistorical parallelsmisinformationviolencereligious importanceeducationfact-based history
Yardena Shwartz, an award-winning journalist and Emmy-nominated producer, joins us to discuss her book, Ghosts of a Holy War. Yardena’s book focuses on the 1929 Hebron massacre, allowing us to see the shocking parallels between the historical events of 1929 and the October 7th massacre in Israel. Hebron, an ancient city with archeological finds going back some 5,000 years, is in the controlled territory of both governments. For thousands of years, Hebron has had great religious importance for both Jews and Muslims.
Despite Yardena’s credentials, and her book’s relevance to the current news cycle, “Ghosts of a Holy War” book has been largely ignored by mainstream media and literary circles. It is not a stretch to assume that the historical information revealed in this book goes against the dominant stories in mass media, that seek sources that support their simplified oppressor and oppressed narrative.
As history repeatedly shows us, if we don’t understand the past, we are doomed to repeat it. The misinformation leading to the 1929 massacre, and the way the massacre was interpreted by the world, is a repeat of what we have seen since October 7. We have seen denials of the recorded atrocities on October 7, misinformation and marches praising the violence as glorious resistance. How can we end the cycles of violence in the region if we don’t understand the root causes? It feels like we are trying to cure cancer by taking an Advil and screaming about the pain. Yardena’s book shares the historical root causes of the cancer of violence that has plagued the region since 1929.
Yardena’s book also recounts stories of friendship and muslim families that protected their neighbors. The Jewish families and students in Hebron were not prepared for the violence because they lived peacefully and happily with their neighbors. In 1929, just as today, misinformation from leaders with bad intentions, fueled horrifying fury, and religiously driven violence.
We hope that more people decide to learn the history of the region through credible journalists and historians, instead of repeating dangerous misinformation and lies. For the sake of every innocent child, please make time to find the historical truth.

When we discuss topics related to our government, we often ask ourselves, what would Sharon say? We decided to ask Sharon McMahon,, America's favorite government teacher, to help us understand why teaching students about how the US Government works has been defunded and de-prioritized.
Sharon shares her insights on the reality that many students graduate without a proper understanding of how their government operates, often having only a single semester of civics education. We discuss the dangerous consequences of this knowledge gap, not just for individual citizens, but also as a national security threat and a threat to our democracy.
How can we make America great again when we don't know how it works? How can we expect to see change when our students don’t understand how our government functions or the importance of local elections, and what it actually takes to make meaningful and lasting change.
If we don't educate our citizens we shouldn't be surprised by a divided and cynical populace that opts out and screams why bother when it’s all rigged.
We explore the benefits of a stronger civics curriculum that is consistent across states and the challenges in getting there due to our decentralized education system. Did you know that education requirements are left to each to decide or that we have 50 separate state school boards including 14,000 local boards?
Please listen to and share with your community.
Quotes:
"We have under-educated our citizens for existence in a very complex democracy."
"We need to understand the problem before we can make meaningful change."
"The civil rights movement didn’t just happen because a bunch of members of Congress were like, what the right thing to do?"
-Sharon McMahon
"How are we supposed to make America great again if we don’t understand how it works?" ----Polina Rubin
Zoom In:
06:49 Why aren't people saying in government that maybe we should prioritize civics education
08:10 The United States has an incredibly decentralized education system compared to other democracies
13:27 Whether the federal government should be involved in curriculum decisions is hotly debated
20:37 Elimination of Department of Justice or Department of Education could negatively impact students
23:23 Thoughts on the costs of education in the US compared to other countries
29:31 Every other developed nation takes far more steps to abate childhood poverty than we do
31:51 If you have two parents, you're more likely to not be in poverty

Like both of us (your co-hosts Polina and Yelena) Viktoria was born in the Soviet Union. VIktoria immigrated to the USA from Kiev with her family when she was 10. After getting interested in politics a few years ago, Viktoria started a highly successful Instagram page (communistsurivivor) , as a place to share her experiences and political opinions. Viktoria’s childhood in the former Soviet Union has shaped her politics and inspired her to share the realities of life under communism.
We hope that Viktoria’s thoughts on the differences between life in the Soviet Union and the opportunities available in the U.S. encourage you to apply a critical eye when you come across communist and anti-capitalist propaganda.
If you have experience of living under an oppressive regime, and when you grow up listening to the stories of how your parents and grandparents struggled, you are more likely to treasure theimmense privileges that come with freedom. We feel this perspective is particularly relevant in today's heated climate, where many college students in the West are expressing hatred for their own country without a basic understanding of the historical realities and struggles that led to their freedoms.

Erin Molan: Fearless Reporter and Advocate for Humanity
We are thrilled to share our conversation with respected broadcaster Erin Molan. Throughout the world, many people have discovered Erin for fearless commentary and stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
As she does in her videos, Erin discusses the importance of condemning Hamas and standing against terrorism, emphasizing that true support for children in Gaza means advocating for the eradication of the group that endangers their lives and future. We discuss the erosion of Judeo-Christian values in Western society and how the erosion of these principles can lead to moral confusion and the acceptance of violence.
Erin shares why she does this work for her daughter’s future, and the future of all children. We discuss the role of the media in shaping narratives, and the responsibility we all have to protect the values of freedom and safety for future generations.
