S1 Ep 22: In this episode Rabbi Spiro and Ellie are discussing a push by antisemitic groups to have local governments in the US make resolutions stating that their police force is racist and violent because they trained with the IDF. This has passed in Durham NC, Seattle and it's on the way to several other US cities. We are looking into what is the history and halacha of Jewish rules of engagement in war, what is a moral army and what is the history of how Jewish soldiers are allowed to act, train and carry out missions. Please refer to the work of Katheryn Wolf and her article about fighting this https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/the-screamers Want more history? Go back and listen to this series from the beginning, as Winston Churchill once said “The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” so we are going all the way back, so we can understand what is happening now and plan for the future.
