Amid a resurgence of xenophobic nationalism, Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and racism more generally, how do we refute charges of Antisemitism that are broadly leveled against advocates for Black liberation, immigrant justice and national self-determination for the Palestinian people? To help us navigate these questions, Lara Kiswani from Beit Iksa and Aqir, Palestine, and Executive Director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC) and Lesley Williams of Jewish Voice for Peace join our show co-hosted by Joe Ramsey and Suren Moodliar with co-producers Linda Liu, Kira Moodliar, Mark Soderstrom, and Tim Sheard.
