Why are the Jews not protesting the ‘genocide Olympics’?

“Top Story” with Jonathan S. Tobin, Ep. 36

The Jews and other people of moral decency have failed to protest the “genocide Olympics” in Beijing while human-rights organizations concentrate their fire on democratic Israel, explains the JNS editor-in-chief in this week’s podcast.

Tobin is then joined by American businessman Elisha Wiesel, who discusses his activism on issues like China and anti-Semitism; the failure to generate Jewish unity on these issues and in support of Israel; as well as honoring the legacy of his father, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel.

“Top Story” also airs on JBS-TV.
