Dr. Orli Peter | Deconstructing The Propaganda Machine | Israel-Hamas War | with Shana Meyerson

from The Yoga of War Podcast: Fighting for Israel & The Jewish People

Brutal savagery is a feature, not a glitch, of Hamas terror.So, when the diabolical atrocities of October 7th were live-streamed across the internet by Hamas themselves, the world watched on in abject horror and was shocked to the core. But not surprised.What did surprise and deeply disturb most people beyond the Woke-o-Sphere was how the social justice warriors decided to rally behind Hamas after the massacre, rather than behind the innocent Israeli victims who had just suffered the more horrific one-day murder of Jews since the Holocaust. And as if glorifying terrorists as freedom fighters wasn't enough, the River To The Sea contingency took it one step further, drowning the West in a tsunami of genocidal antisemitism, calling for a global intifada revolution and attacking Jews in our streets, our subways, our schools, and our synagogues.How did this happen? Has society learned nothing from the lessons of the Holocaust?In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Dr. Orli Peter of the Israel Healing Initiative discuss the psychology of propaganda and how empathy is not immune to manipulation. Powerful forces can hijack it into violent hatred, using methods grounded in science. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Hamas are the good guys in their war on Israel, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about how your own kind inclinations can be turned against you and twisted into something truly hateful.WHERE TO FIND DR.

She specializes in the intersection of trauma, neuroscience, and propaganda, with decades of experience treating survivors of war, terror, and mass violence. After the October 7 attacks, she launched the Israel Healing Initiative, bringing neuroscience-based trauma treatment — including advanced neurostimulation — to survivors in Israel. Her current work explores how extremist propaganda hijacks the same brain mechanisms used in trauma therapy — particularly emotional arousal and memory reconsolidation — not to heal, but to implant narratives that inflame and destabilize. These campaigns retraumatize survivors and train entire populations to react with outrage — outrage that serves the propagandists’ aims.🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 🪂 🤸 ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE "A PARATROOPER AND A YOGI WALK INTO A BAR..."
