    All Eyes on Park Slope Food Coop Boycott of Israeli Products w Naomi Brussel, Dan Kaminsky and reporter Mira Fox

    Why is the Park Slope Food Coop vote to boycott Israeli goods a national story? We speak with Mira Fox, reporter at The Forward, as well as Jewish boycott organizers Naomi Brussel and Dan Kaminsky. We open the show with a conversation recorded by our very own production assistant turned field reporter, Margo Flug who spoke to Afaf Nasher, a lawyer and Executive Director of CAIR-New York, the muslim civil rights organization and Bobbie Sackman, a Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) member leader. The conversation was recorded on March 21st, 2026 after both made speeches at an interfaith rally demanding accountability following Republican NYC Council member Inna Vernikov's bigoted smears against Muslim men praying near a Jewish school for girls. And calling on Speaker of the City Council, Julie Menin, to remove Vernikov from her position co-leading the antisemitism task force.

    Palestine Wins at the American Psychological Association (w Jordan Dunn, PhD and Alissa Hochman, PhD)

    After two major wins for free speech and human rights at the American Psychological Association (APA), we 're joined by some of its Jewish organizers, Alissa Hochman, PhD and Jordan Dunn, PhD. We talk about this means to the APA's 175,000 members who are now protected by the association from being punished for speech and activist and what it took to replace the APA’s policy on antisemitism away from one that punishes speech for Palestine to one that protects it and protects the actual fight against antisemitism and all forms of bigotry. We also touch on how these wins inspire and push other professional associations who are under pressure from Trump, Congress and groups like the ADL to stand up for their members and fight back. Jordan Dunn, PhD, (he/they) is a supervising psychologist at Greene Clinic, a community psychoanalytic clinic in Brooklyn, NYC. Within psychology, they have done research and advocacy related to solidarity in migrant justice activism and to burnout. They are currently launching a process group focused on understanding burnout and shifting its relational patterns. They are a council representative at the American Psychological Association, representing the APA Division of Psychoanalysis. They are also a proud member of Jewish Psychologists for Justice, a new organizing group which campaigned for the antisemitism resolution which just passed at APA Council. They are an Ashkenazi Jew who have lived in Brooklyn almost twenty years, and who grew up in Iowa where they experienced antisemitism and learned the importance of solidarity. Dr. Alissa Hochman is a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in social justice processes and culturally responsive clinical care. Her research has centered on racial justice, cross-race solidarity, and effectively engaging in activism through understanding one's privilege. Dr. Hochman has consulted and taught on these topics at various institutional levels, and engages in activism and advocacy aligned with her expertise and values.  Three ways to listen ​📻 99.5 FM NY and parts of NJ, CT and PA​🌐 livestream ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wbai.org/listen-live⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​🎧 Spotify, Apple and your favorite podcast platforms Show Socials: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X @BeyondThePaleFM ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG @BeyondThePaleFM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FB @BeyondThePaleFM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host Socials: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@RafaelShimunov on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rafaelshimunov.bsky.social on BlueSky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ShoB on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Rafternoon on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@shob18 on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@RafaelShimunov on Upcrolled⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@Shoshana on Upscrolled⁠⁠⁠ Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) Socials ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jfrejnyc.bsky.social on BlueSky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jfrejnyc on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jfrejnyc on X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jfrejnyc on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠jfrej.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support the Show Become a BAI Buddy of Beyond The Pale at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wbai.allyrafundraising.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave us a voicemail, we'll play it on air Record a question or statement to play on air at ‪(917) 740-8971‬ or via the Spotify app. You can also listen to our show live, every Friday after ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DemocracyNow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ at 9AM on WBAI 99.5 FM NY.
