Charlie Kirk: Assassinated September 10, 2025 — a fearless defender silenced.At the opening of this powerful episode of Echoes of Jewish History, host Jimmy Bitton pauses to honor Charlie Kirk — the Turning Point USA founder, Trump ally, and unwavering champion of truth, free speech, Western civilization, and Israel. Shot dead at age 31 during his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University, Kirk’s clarity inspired millions. Jimmy shares personal reflections on Kirk’s conviction before diving into today’s urgent debate.From tribute to truth: Why has Israeli food — a simple bowl of hummus — become a cultural appropriation scandal? Critics scream “stolen Palestinian cuisine,” but this has nothing to do with recipes — it’s propaganda to delegitimize Israel and deny Jewish indigeneity in their ancestral homeland.Through history, anthropology, and cultural memory, Jimmy dismantles the myth:• Hummus origins → Ancient Levant fusion: Chickpeas from Turkey, tahini from Ethiopia, lemon from India — shared Middle East heritage, not “stolen.”• Tomato paradox → Italians “appropriated” tomatoes from Mexico (post-1492); Indians adopted chilies from the Americas — yet no outrage.• Coffee double standard → Arabs popularized beans from Ethiopia/Yemen, but Turks “stole” it for Turkish coffee — history’s endless borrowing.• Israeli innovation → Falafel, shakshuka, sabich evolved in Jewish communities from Yemen to Iraq to Europe — culinary resilience, not theft.• Identity politics weapon → “Cultural appropriation” only trends when Jews claim belonging — part of the BDS-era erasure campaign.This isn’t about food — it’s about memory, politics, and survival. A journey exposing how anti-Israel activists use kitchens to wage cultural war on Jewish identity.Essential 2025 listening for:✅ Charlie Kirk assassination tribute✅ Israeli cuisine history✅ Cultural appropriation myths debunked✅ Antisemitism via food politics✅ Western civilization defensePerfect for fans of:Call Me Back with Dan Senor · Unpacked · The Tikvah Podcast · Jewish History Soundbites · Israel StoryListen NOW — Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube👉 Search: Echoes of Jewish HistoryWhat’s one “stolen” food that proves cultures blend?
