I have just listened to the October 7th episode. I was moved to make my first ever podcast review. Thank you for such a thoughtful and powerful episode. I enjoy much of the New Statesman content and this episode was exceptional.
Can I thank Rachel and Tanjil for a superb empathetic and powerfully moving podcast that presented gently the issues and feelings of the left from a Jewish and a pro-Palestinian perspective.
Tanjil and Rachel, thank you for your courage and clarity in framing and engaging in this discussion. You honoured the pain and suffering of generations and yet held on to the hope that hatred need not win.
