128. Writer Amanda Gelender Deconstructs Zionism
Manage episode 431826604 series 2701348
Amanda Gelender is an American Jewish writer and poet currently based in the Netherlands.
Amanda was raised in a progressive Jewish community, yet she was still only taught some of the truth about Israel and Palestine. It wasn’t until college that Amanda began to deconstruct what she had been taught and question her Zionist education.
Amanda joins Heath to discuss how Zionsim differs from Judaism, understanding the current genocide in Palestine, and her own learning process over the last twenty years.
