The Impact of the Israel-Hamas Conflict on Left-wing Allies

Progressive Jews are feeling abandoned by their left-wing allies as they express solidarity with Israel and the Jewish community amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas. This shift has created a sense of isolation and cognitive dissonance among progressive Jews. The lack of support and silence from their usual progressive allies has caused confusion, frustration, and a questioning of the progressive community's values. There is a growing disconnect between the progressive space and the support for Israel's existential safety. The podcast guests emphasize the need for open conversations and discussions within the progressive community to make sense of this moment and find common ground.
