December 29, 2022 Internalized Antisemitism
*Apologies for the subpar audio! We had some technical difficulties this time around.

In the final episode of our series on antisemitism, we talk about what internalized oppression is, how internalized antisemitism shows up in our lives, and what internalized antisemitism IS NOT (hint: it’s not antizionism!) 🥳

If you missed the first three episodes of this series, make sure to catch up on those too!

We will be back in 2023 after a brief hiatus & can’t wait to see you then 🤍
