Description

As Israel's onslaught against Gaza unleashes ever greater horrors, supporters of peace have become increasingly targeted. In Germany, most pro-Palestinian protests have been banned, often using the justification of fighting antisemitism.I speak to German-Israeli author and Jewish peace activist Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus on Germany's crackdown, the racist implications - and why it doesn't make Jewish people safer.Here's a letter from Jewish writers, academics, journalists, artists, and cultural workers living in Germany condemning the crackdown: https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/freedom-for-the-one-who-thinks-differently/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
