Rudy Rochman: Hate Turns To Respect (Palestinian & Israeli)

Aug 15, 2024 | A Palestinian walks up to an Israeli expecting a fight, but ends up leaving with a smile from ear to ear. Most Israelis & Palestinians go by their day-to-day life fighting for their Peoples' rights, calling for the recognition of their identities, and advocating for the end of their suffering. Unfortunately, the activism of being pro one side is often sold with the notion of being anti the other. However, there is a new movement that has begun. One that focuses on including the narratives and aspirations of both populations without eliminating the needs of either. It is only through a cultural shift by those who seek to create a better future that we can ultimately make the desired reality, our present.

Pro-Palestinian Student Sits with Israeli

Jul 24, 2024 | On the streets of NYC a Syrian Arab student stops to engage with an Israeli activist about the future between the Peoples of the Land.

Wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh, he came in with strong positions regarding the conflict, but surprisingly shared a balanced and more nuanced approach to resolution, which is often missing in most public discourses revolving this matter.

Rudy Rochman: Should All Jews Move to Israel?

ul 8, 2024 | Well, should all fish return to the sea? Yes, unless there is a positive & temporary purpose for them being there. Jews and the Land of Israel have an eternal soulmate connection, and even if some Jews have a fiery relationship with this place, they will never be able to escape being forever linked to it. So, should all Jews move to Israel physically? All Jews should move to Israel mentally, ideologically, and spiritually, knowing who they are, where they are from, and what they are meant to do, regardless of their ultimate decision of living in their house or in a hotel. | Video by @KavanaFilms

Rudy Rochman: How to Debate Jewish Hate

Feb 14, 2024 | Many people today have lost hope when it comes to having fruitful or respectful conversations with others who may have conflicting ideas or polarized opinions. Well, how are we going to create unity in this world or heal our human issues if we do not communicate?

Due to our dependency on social media to access information which caters only fractional truths served in eco chambers, along with an ever more divided world that has a hard time to relate & communicate, many in our generation think that it is a “lost cause” or a “waste of time” to speak to others who have different opinions.

You can change minds and you can impact this world. It starts by believing that you can and doing it in practice,

Dealing with Jew Hate (Denmark)

Mar 19, 2022 | These videos are made to show what really exists behind the curtains of the minds of many around us. Many people hide the antisemitism they hold as truth or are reluctant to show it, but when you ask the right questions, the Emet (truth) is revealed.

The following video gets heated at times. Keep in mind that when one gets into such conversations, who the person is, what they think, or how they will react are all a part of the unknown.

Some of these individuals likely have mental health issues, and that becomes evident towards the end of the conversation, which is why when this is recognized one must be extra cautious of one’s body language, tone, and choice of words.

It's also interesting to point out that the individual makes a comment that his antisemitic beliefs were inherited from his parents and ancestors before him, which shows how many people are still taught to hate Jews as children before they ever even meet a Jewish person themselves.

Breaking Down Seth Rogen's 'Internalized Anti-Semitism'

Aug 5, 2020 | Comedian & actor Seth Rogen along with Marc Maron recorded a podcast and unfortunately projected anti-Semitic rhetoric, regurgitated deeply offensive anti-Jewish tropes, and minimized the experiences, identity, and aspirations of the Jewish People.

This video wasn’t made to put down either of these two very Jewish individuals, but rather created to break down the problematic things that they said, and why so many Jews around the world took such offense to their ‘internalized anti-Semitism’.

‘Internalized anti-Semitism’ is a term used for when Jews internalize the non-Jewish world’s negative perception of Jews. They are both victims of institutional anti-Jewish xenophobia, while also being guilty of promoting it. Internalized prejudice exists in every community, and it has been part of the Jewish experience for as long as anti-Semitism itself has.

Seth may be joking about topics relating to the Jewish People and Israel, but his perspective is warped by a failed educational system and generalizes a whole population based on his individual experiences, while unintentionally pushing anti-Semitic tropes to his massive audience.

Seth and Marc are not “self-hating” nor should they be shunned or cancelled. That being said, I hope that they both take the time to understand why they’ve hurt so many Jews and not fall prey to movements that will seek to capitalize on their current state to further push them against their own collective.


Beware! This video contains some very strong language. – MarK

Hating Jews Hits Different

Jan 1, 2024 | Oftentimes when someone is accused of antisemitism they brush it off and insist they were merely “criticizing” Israel. This is because the hatred of Jewish people is a unique form of bigotry, and most people are not familiar with how it has functioned throughout history.

In the past, when antisemitism reached violent levels, Jews were unable to stand up for themselves. Now that we are strong and have re-established our state we share a responsibility to push back against this darkness by educating and working towards a brighter future.

Stop US Aid to Israel!

Dec 26, 2023 | Who really profits from a weakened & divided Middle East? Who is selling weapons to all sides with conditions that are harmful to the long-term success of those who ink these deals?

I am not against a relationship with the US, but I am against the current toxic relationship that Israel & the US have, where Israel has been forced to become dependent and externally-controlled in several ways.

Many are wrong to think that the US is giving cash to Israel as "foreign aid", when in reality what Israel receives is credit, which can only be used by buying weapons from specific US companies.

Of course, this credit also has harmful conditions attached which negatively influence foreign policy, and ultimately prevents the region from obtaining justice for all or achieving stability.

Let's start the conversation on how to build healthy relationships, and recalibrate the Middle East towards the right direction for it to arrive to its potential.

We Were Never Lost: Uniting Jewish Tribes w/ Rudy Rochman

Mar 12, 2023 | Eli Nash sat down with Rudy Rochman to discuss his documentary series 'We Were Never Lost'. The series aims to reveal the history, experiences, and aspirations of the lost tribes of Israel, including those who have kept their identity but have been forgotten by the Jewish population. The conversation touches on assimilation, crowdfunding, and power dynamics in Nigeria, where Rochman and his team were abducted by armed militants claiming to be the Nigerian FBI. Rochman recounts his team's three-week captivity, their lack of access to food, and the danger faced by his friend with an immune system disorder. Despite the trauma, Rochman views the experience as an opportunity for growth and character-building. The conversation also explores the use of Ayahuasca, a plant medicine for spiritual growth that should be approached with care and intention. Ultimately, the documentary series aims to unite all Jewish tribes and bring them back to mainstream consciousness.

Rudy Rochman: From the River to the Sea

Dec 6, 2023| Language is a tool that humans developed to communicate with one another, but when we wrongly define, or misunderstand, words & concepts, it leads to people speaking passed each other rather than to each other.

Those that are against Israel & the Jewish People will have a sure future, since history has proven that ALL nations who attack Am Israel are later only remembered in history books, but those who ultimately only seek for their people to be free and families given equality, it's time that we hear, understand, and take them into full consideration.



I love this man! I don't know him. I have never met him. Nor am I a Jew. But this man speaks such sense. He touches something deep inside me. He is always so fair in his assessments: fair to both sides. Please support this remarkable man if you can. Antisemitism is such a scourge; it is like a cancer. It metastasizes like cancer, too.
