Diaspora is a brand new podcast from Jewish Voice for Peace. On our first season, we are talking about Zionism. Join Tallie Ben Daniel and Nava EtShalom, two Jews who have been working for Palestinian rights, as they talk to a lot of Jewish people who grew up Zionist without even realizing it, Jewish people who learned how to be Jewish through Zionism, and the ever-growing group of Jewish people who are rejecting Zionism. If you are curious about Jewish life, if you are part of progressive movements, if you are wrestling with Zionism, or if you just don’t quite understand what Zionism is - this podcast is for you.
