Episode Details

Heather Reisman, a major philanthropist and vocal supporter of Israel, stunned listeners by revealing she’s distanced herself from a longtime political ally she believes has gone too far right—particularly on West Bank settlements—sparking hope for change in Israeli politics. She also laid out her view that antisemitism is fueled by exclusionary DEI and CRT movements on campuses, left-leaning Canadian unions strained by Jewish relations, and social media’s one-sided portrayal of Israel. Facing violent backlash—including store vandalism and protests accusing her of war crimes—Reisman insists the attacks stem from her identity and false narratives, while highlighting how her husband’s philanthropy continues to support Jewish causes amid this polarizing moment.
