SPECIAL RELEASE Proles of the Minyan Ep 1: Symbolism Under Zionist Hegemony: DC Dyke March, the Magen David, & Hamsa Flag

In the debut episode of Proles of the Minyan, The Proles declare their support for DC Dyke March’s banning of the Israeli pride flag, present a historical analysis of Jewish symbolism, argue for an abandonment of the Magen David, and advance other symbols, like the Hamsa, that can serve to build Jewish solidarity with Palestinians for our collective liberation.
