The Wedge

Seth and Jenni talk JDL, white supremacy, and Occupy Wall Street.

This episode was originally uploaded with audio from the last episode, but now it's fixed!

Jenni and Seth talk about 9/11 and growing up with the Forever War, then make some Geography Mistakes. Jenni also talks about gender expectations on her Orthodox trip to Israel. We had some audio trouble and recording was cut off, but some pod is better than no pod at all. We'll follow up next time!

Jenni and Jill chat about white supremacy, Zionism, cats, and the dyke march.

Jenni and Seth take a quick spin through some headlines, figure out how to observe shabbos if you're an Israeli moon bear, and then look at Christians United for Israel, the largest and most powerful pro-zionist lobby in the United States.

Content warning: if it's going to ruin your day to hear pretty explicit descriptions of violent racism, maybe skip this one and we'll see you next time. On this episode, Jenni checks in with Seth to see how his Birthright trip went. And boy did it go.

Moriah Ella Mason returns! She appeared briefly on episode four to check in ahead of her trip to Palestine to undertake some co-resistance actions with the Center for Jewish Non-Violence and other local groups. On this episode she and Jenni debrief, Moriah Ella recounts how the IDF forcibly shutdown their road reconstruction project, and there's a little bit of dance chat.

"The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World" by Avi Shlaim

Jenni and guest Bethany talk about what it's like growing up in interfaith homes and then talk about Bethany's experiences with Christian Zionism.

No guests this week, and it's Pride, so Jenni and coproducer Kirby sit down to chat pinkwashing and community building, get interrupted by the cat, and take a look at an opinion piece published by the Forward last week called "For me, Being Gay and Zionist are One and the Same."

hey folks, we're re-uploading this episode to fix some audio overlap problems that occurred in the middle of the show, sorry! 

 

In this conversation, Seth (who is going on Birthright this summer) meets Rachel (who walked off of Birthright in protest).
