In this enlightening discussion, Dr. Suzanne Ross, a clinical psychologist and author of "Born Jewish in Nazi Europe: My Journey to Become Anti-Zionist," shares her harrowing childhood escape from Nazi Europe. She delves into how her experiences shaped her anti-Zionist activism, emphasizing the need for understanding justice in contemporary contexts, particularly regarding Palestinian rights. Suzanne candidly reflects on the complexities of Jewish identity, the painful dualities of Zionism, and the emotional weight of historical narratives, advocating for compassion and solidarity.

Join Audrey Sasson, Em Hilton, and Eva Borgwardt as they share insights from Brazil on the power of international solidarity among Jewish activists. They discuss their transformative experiences advocating for justice in Palestine and the impact of grassroots internationalism on local struggles. The conversation dives into the rise of far-right violence and the need for collective resistance against Islamophobia. With a focus on memory culture and the interconnectedness of marginalized communities, this dialogue emphasizes a unified approach to combat oppression.

We play and discuss listener messages about voting. We’re joined for the first half by our guest Katie Unger, the co-founder The Jewish Vote (TJV) at Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ).We also talk about propositions on the ballot in New York, the Working Families Party ballot line, and the protest write in campaign in the NY10 Congressional district, where voters are writing in Palestinian child ‘Hind Rajab’ in opposition to Rep. Daniel Goldman, a Republican Jewish ad featuring Hymie’s, a famous Philadelphia deli, in an effort to flip Jewish Democrats for Trump in swing state Pennsylvania, and Elon Musk’s duplicitous ads in swing state Michigan, attempting to pitt American Jews and Arabs against each other.

After a disinformation campaign by Israel and Joe Biden's White House, can ordinary Americans save UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees? Yes.

“I put my art where the emergency is” We speak with Sara Erenthal, the artist and activist who fled Neturei Karta as a teen. Neturei Karta has become a familiar presence at our rallies for Gaza and Palestine. Often depicted in a one dimensional way because of that advocacy, we’ll learn from Sara’a experience about the not so liberatory practices of the group and why she had to escape. We talk about Sara’s incredible artwork featured in The Jewish Week, Haaretz, Vice, The Village Voice, Radio Canada, Time Out, Gothamist, The Brooklyn Rail, and Artnet, among others.We also chat about the indictment of NYC’s Mayor Adams and NYC rats... acting different. We end with a song, Bottom Seas by Rachel Angel.

Can Uncommitted Democrat delegates save Palestinian lives and US elections? We speak with June Rose, the Chief of Staff for the Providence City Council and Rhode Island’s ‘uncommitted’ delegate who's just returning from their #NotAnotherBomb and #LetPalestineSpeak actions at the Democratic National Convention. June Rose has a long history helping flip races to favor Democrats and joins us to talk about their role in the Uncommitted Movement as a former Orthodox Jew, who studied in Israel and took action into their own hands at religious school to make sure they meet Palestinians. They speak about how that changed their life, how they began in this movement, and what's next for getting Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and the Democrats to finally act on Gaza. Rose is also one of only two trans people in the country to have managed a statewide political campaign and is the highest ranking transgender staffer in Rhode Island history. We also talk about the return to campuses, and how universities like NYU have snuck in new regulations conflating Judaism with Zionism, and declaring people who hold Zionist ideology as a "protected class" along historically marginalized people, as well as hostile architecture instituted across schools to prevent college students from practicing free speech about Gaza and Palestinians.
