Episode 10: Divest, Disgust, Discuss

from Reconnaissance · host Asa Mendelsohn and Fred Schmidt-Arenales

For this episode of Reconnaissance, we’re listening back to conversations that Fred had in Vienna last fall, exploring ideas about solidarity and allyship on “the left,” and how Israel figures into those politics—as both a real place, and an amorphous set of ideas. We’ve both been struck by how much symbolic weight Israel and Palestine hold for people in different parts of the world. This episode is one attempt to explore how and why that happens, in the very specific context of Vienna.
