We talk to Noah Kulwin of the Blowback pod about growing up among liberal American Zionists, his time in Israel, and why he didn’t do aliah or join the IDF — but instead got radicalized and joined the Jewish resistance. The central question we try to get at is: Why do some Jews get lured into Zionism and others not.

Listen to the first installment of Antisemitism über alles. And check out more of Noah’s work.
