“Israel is a colonial project that uses the Jewish identity as an excuse to commit the worst crimes.” — Yuval Gal, 2025

Have you ever wondered what brings a person to reject their national identity? How it feels to renounce the state you were born into and start building a life someplace else?

In this episode, we hear about the experience and life choices of Yuval Gal, a former Israeli citizen who moved to the Netherlands and started a community for like-minded anti-Zionists Jews.

Gal is a prominent member of the Jewish community ‘Erev Rav’, where people come together to reconnect with their Jewish identity and share traditions, while actively taking part in Anti-Zionist demonstrations. In 2020, he joined the Dutch political party ‘Bij1’ .

Join us in this episode for an eye-opening conversation about identity and belonging, and learn more about the perspective of a counter-hegemonic voice in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
