Episode notes

The separation of Yemenite Jews from their families and the mistreatment they faced in Israel are subjects of much scholarship and debate. The de-arabization process in Israeli society, particularly within the religious sector, further deepened the divide between different Jewish communities. However, over time, intermarriage between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews has become more common, leading to the mending of fences between these groups.

Featuring Shaul Magid on the long history of Jewish Zionism and its antagonist, Jewish anti-Zionism. Defenders of Israel defame anti-Zionists as antisemites. In fact, today's growing ranks of anti-Zionist Jews draw on a powerful and diverse tradition.
