YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWatch the full conversation with Remo and Rich here
Rich Siegel, a Jewish activist who organized a protest against an Israeli real estate sale in his hometown of Teaneck New Jersey, and Remo Ibrahim, a Palestinian activist who helped organize a protest against an Israeli real estate sale at an LA synagogue explain why they took part in the protests. Remo also shares the violence he experienced and witnessed at the protest which has been unfairly smeared as antisemitic by Joe Biden, California Governor Gavin Newsom and LA mayor Karen Bass. Remo talks about how the violence committed against Palestinians and their supporters is never condemned or punished.
Remo Ibrahim is an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement, LAOCIE chapter (@palestinianyouthmovement, @pymlaocie). He is committed to the struggle for Palestinian liberation, and to confronting Zionism and white supremacy wherever it appears.
Rich Siegel is a musician and activist. Raised in what he calls “the cult of atheistic Zionism posing as Judaism”, in his youth Rich was very involved as a supporter of Israel, notably as a teenage Zionist youth group president. He then lived in Israel in his 20’s working as a pianist in a luxury hotel. Rich’s change of heart began as a spiritual awakening, by which he came to see that Jewish tribal identity and the state of Israel were worshipped as idols. Then he became acquainted with Zionism’s crimes against humanity, which contradicted the Zionist narrative he grew up with. Organizing demonstrations against Zionist activity in the northern New Jersey suburbs where he lives, Rich’s activism hit a high note when a talk he gave in front of the Teaneck town council went viral. Recently Rich was fired from a teaching job at a local music school due to a pro-Palestine Facebook post. He is director of Deir Yassin Remembered, a pro-Palestine charity and activist organization. He is currently running for Congress in New Jersey, with the Ceasefire and Justice Party.
