How Zionism HARMS Jews

Watch the full conversation with Sahar and Mitchell, as well as the remembrance of Refaat Alareer

Katie, law professor Sahar Aziz and writer and analyst Mitchell Plitnick confront the idea that Israel works in the name of Judaism and the harmful redefining of anti-semitism.

Sahar and Mitchell are the coauthors of the report “Presumptively AntisemiticIslamophobic Tropes in the PalestineIsrael Discourse,” () which looks at how accusations of antisemitism stifle criticism of Israel and empower its systematic violations of Palestinians’ human rights. We also talk about the witch hunts and censorship on college campuses which are distracting from Israel's crimes.

Sahar Aziz is professor of law, Middle East Legal Studies Scholar, and Chancellor’s Social justice Scholar at Rutgers University Law School. She is the author of "The Racial Muslim: When Racism Quashes Religious Freedom"

Mitchell Plitnick is the president of ReThinking Foreign Policy and a frequent writer on the Middle East and U.S. foreign policy. He is the former vice president at the Foundation for Middle East Peace, director of the U.S. Office of B'Tselem, and co-director of Jewish Voice for Peace. He is the co-author of "Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics,"
