On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with author, activist, and firearms instructor Yehuda Remer, widely known as “The Pew Pew Jew,” for a candid conversation about Jewish self-defense, gun ownership, and the cultural shift happening in the wake of October 7.
Why have so many American Jews historically been wary of firearms? How did the trauma of the Holocaust shape modern Jewish attitudes toward guns—and is that finally changing? Yehuda breaks down the historical roots of Jewish political alignment, the generational divide on Second Amendment rights, and why he believes Jews should be among the strongest defenders of the 2A.
Karol shares her own journey—from longtime conservative who never owned a gun to daily carrier—and explains what changed her perspective. Together, they discuss:
The surge in Jewish gun ownership after October 7
Israel’s restrictive gun laws and what they mean for Jewish security
Why self-defense is about more than just owning a firearm
The role of education in changing minds on gun safety
Divisions within the conservative movement over Second Amendment rights
Raising strong, respectful kids in a chaotic political culture
Yehuda also opens up about his family’s Holocaust history, what motivates his activism, and why he believes Jews must reclaim their warrior heritage rather than remain passive in the face of rising antisemitism.
