Episodes Notes

Kasim Hafeez is a British citizen of Pakistani Muslim heritage who grew up being exposed to radical Anti-Western, Antisemitic and Anti-Israel ideas on a daily basis. 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 is now featured in a new documentary Never Again? which seeks to educate on the horrors and consequences of antisemitism.  The film follows the journey of a Holocaust survivor and a former radicalized Muslim as they seek to leave behind a legacy of love over hate.

Today on Connections, Kasim shares his story and the importance of discussing antisemitism.
