Taking Back the Narrative
Taking Back the Narrative is a Zionism education initiative (www.tbtnisrael.com), which aims to fill in the historical 2,000 'gap' proving Jews have had a continuous presence in Israel. This podcast delves deeper into topics relating to Israel, Jews as a people, and current events relating to Taking Back the Narrative.
Taking Back the Narrative
Stan Andrews & The Birth of the Israeli Air Force Featuring Co-Author Jeffrey Weiss | Season 4: Episode 6
For 4,000+ years, Jews have mastered usage of every weapon available for both defense and retribution. Brave Jews liberated 22% of the Judean homeland (78% remains stolen and since 1922 has been known as 'Jordan.') from the British occupiers using guns and other non-aviation resources, but immediately, when Israel was attacked upon liberation by six Arab countries, fighter jets were needed for survival.
Most of the world refused to provide weapons to Israel when it needed it most, aside from Czechoslovakia, and that was in line with the KGB's manipulation tactic to turn Israel into a Communist vassal 'state.' Aircraft without mastery of usage only goes so far, which is why the mostly non-Israeli Diaspora Jews (along with some non-Jews) who founded the IAF and trained Israelis to become feared fighter pilots, ough to be celebrated. Stan Andrews, who gave his life fighting for the survival of a liberated Israel, was one of the most influential figures and is the subject of co-author Jeffrey Weiss' book, "Fighting Back: Stan Andrews and the Birth of the Israeli Air Force."
We invite the audience to tune in as Jeffrey and I discuss both the geo-political and technical background of the fledgling years of the IAF, it's mighty accomplishments, and the astronomical growth of the top mightiest air forces today.
