Ep 74 (Pt 2) - Media Distortions & Weaponized Disinformation


Listen Later

[This is part 2 of a 2 part episode] I was joined by Canadian Journalist & Author Jeremy Appel (@JeremyAppel1025 on Twitter) for this episode. Aside from breaking down various distortions in the media on Palestine/Israel, we also discuss the blatant double standards & hypocrisy we often see related to this issue, as well as the suppression of pro Palestinian perspectives. We also talked about Jeremy’s visits to Israel and how he looks back on those visits in retrospect, his views on the emergence of 2 distinct currents of Jewish thought around the phrase ‘Never Again’, how encouraging it’s been to see the growth of Jewish groups challenging Zionist narratives like Jewish Voice for Peace and Independent Jewish Voices in Canada, and much more.
