In this episode of Zack Riordan Unfiltered, I’m joined by Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, a religious Jewish rabbi raised in an anti-Zionist community, to unpack questions most people are afraid to ask.We explore:- The difference between Judaism, Zionism, and the modern State of Israel- Why many deeply religious Jewish communities are anti-Zionist- How Zionism originated as a secular political movement, not a religious one- Why conflating Israel with Judaism fuels confusion, division, and accusations of antisemitism- How Christian Zionism took hold—and whether it’s actually biblicalThis is not a debate, and it’s not an attack on Jewish people. It’s a historical, theological, and moral conversation aimed at clarity, truth, and intellectual honesty.If you’ve been told that asking these questions is “antisemitic,” this episode is for you.

When Donald Trump entered the race in 2016, the MAGA movement promised something different: accountability for elites, no new wars, constitutional conservatism, and an America-first foreign policy.This episode asks a hard but necessary question: what happened?In this short reflection, Zack looks at how the MAGA movement has shifted away from its original values — from Epstein accountability and anti-war commitments to endless foreign funding, constitutional erosion, and the disavowing of America First voices who won’t fall in line. From warrantless ICE entry to regime-change politics and empire-style foreign policy, this no longer looks like a constitutional republic.This isn’t an attack from the outside. It’s a critique from someone who supported Trump, believed in MAGA, and is now openly disappointed.If America is going to behave like an empire, this episode argues, we should at least be honest about it — because the American people didn’t sign up for endless wars, elite protection, or a government that ignores the Constitution.

Asking questions isn’t antisemitism — and for Christians, truth should never be off-limits.

In this episode of Zack Riordan Unfiltered, Zack approaches the topic of antisemitism from a biblical, Christ-centered worldview, starting with clear definitions. What is a Semite? Who is a Jew? And how do ethnicity, religion, and modern politics often get conflated in ways that shut down honest discussion?

This episode challenges the growing tendency to label questioning as hatred, while reaffirming a core Christian truth: Jesus Christ judges individuals by faith and heart posture, not race or bloodline. The gospel is for all who believe, and Scripture welcomes honest questions — it does not fear them.

This is not an episode about hatred.
It’s an episode about truth, clarity, and following Christ without slogans.
