Why this Holocaust Remembrance Day hits harder

This week, the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust are remembered on Yom HaShoah, Israeli Holocaust Remembrance Day. But as antisemitism spikes nationwide, does the solemn promise of “Never Again” still hold true?

In this episode, Kasim cautions that remembering the Holocaust means nothing if Americans refuse to stand up and speak out against antisemitism. Learn how you can combat this age-old hatred.

CUFI Weekly: What Hamas doesn't want you to know

Hamas rejected another ceasefire proposal this week, choosing to prolong the war and refusing to release hostages who have been starved and abused for over 550 days. Still, Hamas apologists in the West justify the terror organization’s violence against innocent Israelis.

In this episode, Kasim reflects on the fate of nations throughout past centuries that stood against Israel, urging Americans to stand on the right side of history.

CUFI Weekly: 4,000 years later, Israel lives

Jewish people around the world will celebrate Passover beginning Saturday night – a symbolic holiday that holds special significance in 2025. This year, Israelis yearn to see the remaining 59 hostages freed and contend with rising antisemitism plaguing Western nations and the Middle East.

In this episode, Kasim reveals how God’s promises to the Jewish people have not changed in 4,000 years and how Christians and Jews can stand united for Zion’s sake.

CUFI Weekly: No Jews, No News

This week, a conservative podcaster claimed that Israel is controlling Robert F. Kennedy Jr., joining other popular commentators on the right who are recycling decades-old antisemitic lies.

 In this episode, Kasim calls out podcasters and commentators on both the right and the left who peddle antisemitic tropes and challenge Christians to stop the spread of cancerous lies that harm the Jewish people.

Meet Your Host

Kasim Hafeez

Kasim Hafeez is a British citizen of Pakistani Muslim heritage who grew up being exposed to radical anti-Western, antisemitic, and anti-Israel ideas daily. During his teenage years, Kasim embraced a radical Islamist ideology and became very active in the anti-Israel movement. Thankfully, Alan Dershowitz’s book The Case for Israel challenged Kasim’s fundamental beliefs and caused him to undertake a period of research and reflection that led him to Israel in 2007. Witnessing the true nature of the Jewish state changed Kasim’s perception of Israel. He felt a moral obligation to publicly speak out for Israel and the dangers of radical Islam. He has spoken all over the world including the 2013 Global Forum on Combatting Antisemitism and before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. Kasim has appeared on radio, television, and in print media. Kasim also appears alongside Holocaust survivor Irving Roth in CUFI’s full-length feature documentary Never Again?.
