The Long Answer

Why Don't You Use The Right Words?


Listen Later

Do words matter? How do we stay principled while mobilizing the masses?

In this episode, Sally and Jess sit down with Standing Together co-directors Rula Daood and Alon-Lee Green. They dive into how it felt to see PACBI call for a boycott of Standing Together while the movement was one of the leading forces mobilizing people in Israeli society against the war on Gaza. Together, they discuss the messy terrain of grassroots organizing, purity politics on the left, what it means to fight for justice from within our society, and the tension between speaking in the “correct” language and organizing people where they are. 


*PACBI is the Palestinian Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.
