34: 🇮🇱 Israel Advocacy, Joseph Cohen: Zionism's Angel of the North Jonny Gould's Jewish State

    • Judaism

My guest today is Joseph Cohen, Zionist campaigner and creator of the Israel Advocacy Movement’s extraordinarily powerful viral videos .

Joseph Cohen’s Israel Advocacy Movement is helping to change perceptions of Israel and Judaism.

Amid rising antisemitism and antizionism, Joseph hopes his work will inspire others to follow his lead.

His YouTube and Facebook videos have been viewed millions of times and been retweeted by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Joseph's unusual background gives him a deep understanding of working class England and his study of the similarities between Islam and Judaism provides his outreach work with additional authenticity.

I’m calling Joseph “Zionism’s Angel of the North”, a tribute to his background as the child of a hippy commune in a Durham pit village.

The town in which he grew up was part of the “red wall”, which overwhelmingly voted Conservative at the 2019 General Election, as Boris Johnson inflicted the worst electoral defeat on Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour since 1935.

And Joseph says the north has “zero appetite” to switch back to Labour “anytime soon”, because Labour seem concerned with issues like climate change which don’t resonate in a constituency where there’s mass unemployment, shops are closing and people need a car to get to work.
