    Non-election Russian Interference

    Looking for a non-election podcast? How about 75 minutes of soothing soviet antisemitism? We got you. Our guest today is Izabella Tabarovsky, a scholar of Soviet antizionism and contemporary antisemitism. We discuss how everything old is new again, why being a self-hating Jewish celebrity is sooooo 1970s, and what you can do today to de-program your brain from stale propaganda. You should read pretty much everything Izabella has ever written: start here. The Z3 institute for Jewish Priorities (there’s a conference you can go to in the Bay Area!) 18 brave Georgian Jews in 1969 We should all be Refusenicks Wikipedia is Disinformation with a hard D No, it really sucks Club Z so you can raise non-self hating kids     Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack! askajew.substack.com Email us your questions askajewpod@gmail.com   ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Want to help us grow?

    Ce-le-brate Good Strikes, Come On!

    Bonjour from Paris! (Bonjour means “hello” in French). Miss us? We missed you, each other, and the sound of our own voices. That maybe explains the fact that neither of us could shut up on this one, in fact we almost forgot we were recording and maybe went a little more vulnerable than expected (people like that stuff, right?). In this episode, we catch up about the holidays, Iran, the beef between Johnny Depp and Rabbi Sufrin, and of course our election ambivalence. There's lots more on Substack for you to read, and you can comment and chat there as well.  Links: Yezidi girl saved from Gaza testimony - actual trigger warning. The story we discussed about a woman named Dafna from Kibbutz Reim.
