In the first half of the show, Quechua and Jewish writer and student Rabbi Daniel Delgado joins us to confront the elephant in the room: are Jews Indigenous? As someone who is both Indigenous and Jewish, Daniel discusses the history and context of the term Indigenous and how the claim of Jewish Indigeneity is almost always brought up to absolve Zionists from accusations of colonialism, occupation and genocide, and why this claim is such a remarkably effective and insidious propaganda tool. In the second half of the program, award-winning journalist and author Joel Whitney joins us to discuss his latest book, Flights: Radicals on the Run, a look at censorship through surveillance, violence, oppression and the quite literal hunting of artists, poets, journalists, organizers, and more. Through these varied biographies, Joel highlights the US government’s intolerance for anyone who is effective in working towards positive change in this country. All this and more, coming up now on Project Censored.
