Progressive Jews In Search Of Former Allies

The war in Israel has shifted, or at least recast, certain political alliances - especially for progressive Jews.

There was a tacit understanding in the minds of many, that if I march for your cause, you'll march for mine.

Many of those who would march arm-in-arm for other humanitarian causes have discovered a newfound silence - or even taken up ranks on the anti-Israel side. And vice versa.

In this episode we discuss: false binaries vs. that famous poem and pragmatic support vs. creepy motives.

If this discussion is nothing else - it is a pretty solid (if we may say so) attempt at civility in debate.
