The Revealer podcast, published by the Center for Religion and Media, is celebrating the release of its 50th episode! For our 50th episode, and to acknowledge one year since the war in Gaza, we’re discussing American Jews who participate in activism to support justice for Palestinians. The episode, “Jewish Solidarity with the Pro-Palestine Protests,” explores what has taken place over the past decade or so that has pushed many American Jews, especially younger Jews, to criticize Israel and to express solidarity with Palestinians. Dr. Oren Kroll-Zeldin, author of Unsettled: American Jews and the Movement for Justice in Palestine, joins us to discuss how Jewish activists infuse Jewish teachings and customs into their pro-Palestinian protests, why the visible presence of Jews at the college and university protests against Israel’s war in Gaza this spring was crucial, and what to expect this fall as students return to campus and as the situation in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank is far from resolved.
