Deep Auts Season 1 Episode 1: The Self-Hating Episode with Patrick Brandt

Listen Later

New year, new series, somewhat improved taste! We start our look at the Israel-Palestine conflict on our own streets with artist, veteran, and activist Patrick Brandt. Why would a Jewish person be opposed to the Israeli occupation of Palestine? A couple pretty good reasons, it turns out!

TL/DR Notes Crapped Out by Riverside FM:

  • Questioning and understanding one's identity and background is an important part of personal growth and activism.
  • The weaponization of antisemitism is used to silence criticism of Israeli policy and conflate Jewishness with Zionism and colonization.
  • Understanding history is crucial in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
  • Challenges and backlash are common in activism, but finding a supportive community and staying true to one's beliefs can provide solace and motivation.
