Segment 1: Israel, Zionism and the Genocidal War on Gaza
More than 1,030 Palestinian children in Gaza have been killed by Israeli forces since October 7 -- about one child every 15 minutes, and more than one-third of the total death toll.
Out-FM’s Naomi Brussel speaks with two U.S.-based activists for Palestinian rights, one Palestinian and one Jewish North American about the current Israeli genocidal campaign in Gaza, and what role queers can play in solidarity with Palestine. They will also report on the recent two-day conference of the new Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, held in New York City and Santa Cruz, CA.
Guests:
Emmaia Gelman is guest faculty in Social Sciences at Sarah Lawrence College and the founding Director of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism, which examines the transnational work of Zionist political and ideological institutions. She researches the history of ideas about race, queerness, safety, and rights as levers in political culture, and is co-chair of the American Studies Association Caucus on Academic and Community Activism. She is writing a critical history of the Anti-Defamation League (1913-1990) as a Cold War neoconservative institution. Emmaia is a longtime activist on queer and antiracist issues, primarily in New York City, and the parent of three brilliant and compassionate kids.
