For decades, one of the most powerful narratives in the political conversation surrounding Israel and Palestine has been the claim that Zionism and Judaism are inseparable. The argument is repeated so often that many people have come to accept it as an unquestionable fact: that to oppose Zionism is to oppose Jews, and that criticism of the policies of the Israeli state is somehow an attack on Judaism itself. But what if that claim is not historically accurate? What if one of the most successful political projects of the past century has been convincing the world that a modern political ideology and a centuries-old religion are one and the same? That is precisely the question raised by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Benjamin Moser in his book Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History. In a revealing conversation with Mehdi Hasan, Moser challenges the idea that Zionism speaks for all Jews and argues that Jewish opposition to Zionism is not new, rare, or fringe, but deeply rooted in Jewish history itself. According to Moser, long before Palestinians resisted Zionism, many rabbis, scholars, writers, and Jewish intellectuals were already questioning the movement's goals, methods, and vision for the future. For generations, those voices were pushed to the margins of public discourse. The dominant narrative insisted that Zionism represented all Jews and that the interests of Judaism and the Zionist political project were identical. Yet today, more people are beginning to examine the historical record for themselves. They are discovering that Jewish communities have never been politically unified, that debates over Zionism have existed since its earliest days, and that some of its strongest critics have been Jewish thinkers, religious leaders, and activists. The reason this conversation matters is because the distinction between Judaism and Zionism changes everything. Judaism is an ancient faith, a civilization, and a people with thousands of years of history. Zionism is a modern political movement born in nineteenth-century Europe. Conflating the two has had enormous political consequences, shaping public opinion, influencing policy debates, and often shutting down legitimate discussion before it can begin. Moser argues that recognizing this difference is essential to understanding both the history of Israel and Palestine and the fierce debates that continue today. Across the world, a growing number of people are beginning to ask difficult questions. They are looking beyond slogans, beyond political talking points, and beyond the fear that often surrounds this topic. They are reading history, listening to diverse Jewish voices, and discovering that the story is far more complex than they were led to believe. Slowly but surely, a wall that stood for generations is beginning to crack. Information is more accessible than ever, historical documents are easier to find, and perspectives that were once excluded from mainstream conversations are now reaching millions. This does not mean everyone will reach the same conclusions. But it does mean that more people are refusing to accept simple narratives about one of the most consequential struggles of our time. They are asking where the line between religion and nationalism was drawn, who drew it, and why. Today, we'll explore that conversation. We'll examine the history, the controversy, and the arguments presented by Benjamin Moser. Most importantly, we'll consider a question at the center of this debate: Are Zionism and Judaism truly the same thing, or has the world been taught to believe they are? If you have thoughts, I want to hear them. Email me at TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and tell me how you see it. This is This Week in Palestine.

Welcome to the Sonic Café. We kick things off with We Are Here To Make Plastic from the Neil Cowley Trio—yes, that’s actually the title—and honestly, maybe they’re right. Anyway, I’m Scott Clark; glad you’re here for episode 502. So, I don’t know how the week goes where you live, but around here we push through Wednesday, slide past Thursday, and—boom—there it is… Friday. And here at the Sonic Café, that can only mean one thing: It’s Jazz Friday, Again. So let’s duck down the steps into our dimly lit, subterranean jazz club, a room full of sound, that leans in all the right directions. We’ve lined up a smokin’ mix of vintage and modern jazz vibes including The Groove Collective with Bionic, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Chaz Jankel, Ronnie Cuber blowing hard on Rifftide, Dr. John, and of course John Coltrane with Alabama — a moment of reflection and depth you won’t want to miss.Plus, we’ll drop in on Herbie Hancock as he shares the time Miles Davis taught him a life lesson he never forgot from, inside the music. Trust us… it sticks. So settle in, exhale, and let the world step aside for a bit because, It’s Jazz Friday… again. So let’s get to it. This is Snarky Puppy, and we’re the Sonic Café.

Israel is bringing its “Gaza strategy” of mass destruction and forced displacement to the occupied West Bank. Hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah speak with journalist Zena Al Tahhan, who has been reporting from Hebron, about the devastation left behind and what displaced families face as they return. They also discuss Israeli settler terror against Palestinian olive harvesters, whether Israel’s election results offer Palestinians any prospect of change and escalating Israeli attacks on journalists and diplomats. On the Resistance Report, Jon Elmer looks at the past seven days in the Strait of Hormuz. Tankers trying to slip through on the US-backed southern route are exploding and burning, and Iran’s 358 missile keeps shooting down American MQ-9 Reaper drones. Jon explains how the missile works, and why it has gutted about a third of the US drone fleet. He also looks at Iran’s warning that if the US resumes its war, the response will come “without geographic limitation.” Electronic Intifada contributor Roqayah Chamseddine reports from southern Lebanon, where an Israeli drone strike in Marjayoun killed paramedic Nasser Muhammad Yunus and severely injured photojournalist Kamal Yunus. Israeli drones are also circling over Tyre and Beirut’s southern suburbs, and rescue workers say the drones track them as they respond to the shelling. Shaimaa Hussein and Israa Abu Jald grew up together in Gaza’s al-Bureij refugee camp, as classmates, neighbours and best friends. Israa was a nursing student and poet. In October 2023, Israel bombed her home, killing her along with her parents and her two sisters and their children. Nora Barrows-Friedman reads from Shaimaa Hussein’s article “Israa was a friend for life.”

Well, the midtWell, the midterm results are in, and by Donald Trump’s own definition, most Americans are now communists, socialists or transgender advocates.
