German-Israeli Writer Takes Apart Gaza W...

About this episode

A witch-hunt against Palestinian solidarity is sweeping the Western world - but nowhere is more severe than Germany. The German state is compelling artists to sign a definition of antisemitism weaponised by the Right to shut down criticisms of the Israeli state's behaviour - that is, if they want to protect their livelihoods. As the German far-right rises, the establishment courages the idea that the real danger to Jews comes from the left and Palestinian solidarity activists - including Jewish activists.


This is the world turned on its head. So I'm delighted to talk to German-Israeli author Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus who speaks with huge moral clarity, and tells the truth about what's really going on.
