Summary
<p>Megastar actor Emma Watson has been falsely smeared as an anti-Semite by former Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon after posting a pro-Palestine message on Instagram. Here is a striking example of anti-Palestinian racism: of how even expressing mild sympathy with the plight of the Palestinians is portrayed as a grotesque act of hatred.</p><br /><p>This is just the latest attack on a public figure expressing sympathy with the Palestinian people - but is it overreach and a sign of weakness by apologists for Israeli occupation? Is this strategy succeeding in marginalising support for the Palestinians - or is support for Palestinian justice greater than ever? And what does it mean for combatting the very real and growing menace of antisemitism across the world?</p><br /><p>We're joined by Salem Barahmeh - Executive Director of Rābet by PIPD - live from Ramallah, Palestine; and Em Hilton - co-founder of Na'amod: British Jews Against Occupation.</p><br /><p>Also: after the 'Colston 4' are cleared by a jury of criminal damage for their part in toppling the statue of slaver Edward Colston in Bristol, we are joined by one of the vindicated live.</p><br /><p>Please subscribe - and help us take on the right-wing media here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUtacW9XWFJZekJ4Y01fV0Vodk9Ya1BZUGFSd3xBQ3Jtc0tuWHVlaUtwZnJCaEE5S0FTczhncXFaOEQtb2VtdGhmNE9zekNVcE9yWmctQ2xuakhGaFZNa244S3E1UERpdmxIMlRwbm5pUmVFTTVpUnNnVG1YbERkem8wUUU0ZmdBOTdPS1FvTTZpZk5MQkR6cThFYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fpatreon.com%2Fowenjones84" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/owenjones84</a></p><p>Support this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast" rel="payment" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast</a>.</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
