The Free Palestine Protest Strategy - Proudly Jewish

What this episode covers

In this episode, recorded in front of a live audience, Cantor Eyal Bitton explores the reasons why so many Jews feels so uneasy about many "pro-Palestinian" demonstrations. Why are so many pro-Palestinian protests so disruptive? Aren't activists in the Free Palestine movement that they're not winning the hearts and minds of the general public when they block off highways, when they target shopping malls, museums, and hospitals, when they block access to airports, when they disrupt the Thanksgiving Day Parade, or when they harass people who are Christmas shopping? Cantor Bitton argues that causing such disruptions is intentional and that there is a clear strategy.
