Diaspora

by Jewish Voice for Peace

From Jewish Voice for Peace, this podcast explores the Jewish relationship to Zionism. We talk to Jewish people who grew up Zionist without even realizing it, Jewish people who learned how to be Jewish through Zionism, Palestinians who are impacted by it, and the ever-growing group of Jewish people who are rejecting Zionism. If you are curious about Jewish life, if you are part of progressive movements, if you are wrestling with Zionism, or if you just don’t quite understand what Zionism is - subscribe.
