The Listening Post cuts through the confusion around Zionism and anti-Zionism in western media and politics. Published on Saturday 1 June 2024.

What is being reported by world media and how? Richard Gizbert guides you through the global news maze. A weekly programme that examines and dissects the world’s media, how they operate and the stories they cover.

  • 1We need to talk about Zionism In the coverage of Israel-Palestine in the Western media, an ideology that is central to the story – Zionism – rarely gets discussed. Instead, we hear a debate about whether opposition to it – anti-Zionism – is anti-Semitic. The Listening Post’s Daniel Turi reports on Zionism, the confusion that surrounds it, and what it tells us about the world’s longest-running occupation. Contributors: Bernard Avishai – Professor, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Sherene Seikaly – Associate Professor of History, University of California at Santa Barbara Avi Shlaim – Emeritus Fellow, University of Oxford

  • 2Jewish anti-Zionism in the US: An interview with Simone Zimmerman Anti-Zionist Jews have formed a key part of the protests across the United States against Israel’s war on Gaza. Given the importance of US support for Israel, it’s a movement that could prove pivotal. We hear from one of its leaders, Simone Zimmerman, whose own transition away from Zionism forms the core of the recent award-winning documentary, Israelism. Featuring: Simone Zimmerman – Co-Founder, IfNotNow Archive material from YIVO Institute for Jewish Research
