The Israeli Election's Ripple Effect: Ben Stein and Judah Friedman Weigh In
We need to get out and vote and vote Republican, yes the party has issues but let us win and figure out the issues after. We all get one vote, many died for us to it, we owe it to them.
Have you ever wondered how elections in other countries can impact your life? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and co-host Judah Friedman break down why the recent Israeli elections are more than just local news. They argue that the outcome signals positive changes for the America First platform and discuss how lessons from Israel could be applied to American politics. But it doesn't stop there.
The duo dives into the role of religion in Israeli politics, highlighting how religious leaders mobilized voters—a strategy they believe Republicans in the U.S. could learn from. Voting, they stress, is a hard-won right that shouldn't be taken lightly. Judah emphasizes that many have sacrificed their lives for this privilege, making it a duty to participate in the electoral process.
The conversation also touches on the troubling rise of anti-Semitism and how Jews in America are, according to Ben and Judah, not voting in their best interest. They explore the broader implications of America's support for Israel and its citizens' protection. The Republican party isn't spared scrutiny either. While acknowledging its flaws, Ben and Judah stress the importance of voting Republican to address these issues later.
They also call for a stronger adherence to the Constitution and discuss the vital role of land stewardship in American life. This episode is packed with thought-provoking insights that connect global events to everyday American concerns. If you're interested in understanding the ripple effects of international politics or want to hear candid discussions on pressing issues, this episode is a must-listen.
