The Jewish Story Season 6: On Violence

Introduction

The Jewish Story Season 6

Interlude – On Violence

In this episode we take a break from tracking the evolution of Israel’s separation wall to consider the deeper issues of violence on which it is built. Rav Yehuda Hakohen of the Vision Movement joins me for a conversation about Max Nordau, Zev Jabotinsky and Frantz Fanon. Along the way we consider issues of decolonization, settlement and the hope for a new Jewish consciousness that might soon emerge.
