  • Pro-peace Zionist talk

    I’m new to the Zionism discussion. I’m also new to the Israel-Palestine issue. This podcast is starting to help me form my own identity as a liberal Zionist in the US whilst learning about the devastation and conflict occurring between the two parties.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#377: After the Vote: Unpacking Israel's Election
Q: Does Eisenkot have the leadership qualities necessary to treat all Israeli citizens as having equal rights to participate in their government?
Susskind says the answer remains unclear. Eisenkot has avoided ruling out Arab parties' participation, but his coalition partners differ on the issue, and his negotiating and political skills remain untested.
#377: After the Vote: Unpacking Israel's Election
Q: In any other country, a leader who had a record of failure similar to Netanyahu would fall in a general election. How did he get so many votes? Why are so many people still voting for him?
Susskind and Kraft attribute Netanyahu's continued support to his image as a uniquely capable leader on security and the world stage, fear of a Palestinian state and of the opposition's approach, loyalty among longtime supporters, and voters' distrust of Arab political participation.
#376: Dr. Edward Kessler on Progressive Judaism, Zionism and the State of Israel
Q: How has that trauma shifted the conversation around Zionism within British liberal and reform communities?
Kessler describes the aftermath of October 7 and the war in Gaza as traumatic and says the book reflects both diaspora and Israeli experiences. It includes accounts of challenges faced by progressive Israelis overseas and rabbis trying to facilitate painful, sometimes healing, conversations within their communities.
#376: Dr. Edward Kessler on Progressive Judaism, Zionism and the State of Israel
Q: Can you talk a little bit about the process of selecting or sourcing those essays and working with these folks to place them in conversation, in dialogue with one another?
Kessler says the editors sought a broad range of Progressive Jewish perspectives, including different generations, backgrounds and political views. Contributors were invited to address difficult topics without being censored, so readers could encounter disagreement within the community.
#375: Arab Voter Turnout and Suppression Ahead of Israel's Election
Q: What is on the agenda that might really be achievable that the Arab community is looking for?
Mhajne names halting home demolitions, addressing gun violence, improving conditions for unrecognized villages and making progress on Gaza and Palestinian prisoners. She says Arab voters also want relief from the effects of war and conflict on everyday life.
