Episode 426 – Disrupting Hate
In this episode of Disrupting Hate on hmTv, host Ken Schachter speaks with Finnish political analyst and media host Risto Huvila about the evolving landscape of antisemitism, faith, and geopolitics in Europe. Broadcasting from Helsinki, Huvila offers a rare perspective on Jewish life in Finland, Christian support for Israel at the grassroots level, and the complex political alliances shaping attitudes toward Israel across the continent.
The conversation explores the role of education in countering hate, the rise of anti-Israel activism on campuses and in public discourse, and the importance of Holocaust remembrance as a tool for moral clarity. Huvila shares how his personal faith journey led him into decades of study on Jewish history, theology, and modern Israel, and why he firmly rejects replacement theology in favor of deeper Jewish Christian understanding.
This episode is a clear-eyed look at how misinformation spreads, how alliances form, and what individuals can actually do to push back. From engaging political leaders to highlighting Israel’s global innovations, the message is simple: education, courage, and honest dialogue are still the strongest tools for disrupting hate.
