Description

Two and a half months of brutal and senseless slaughter in Gaza have shattered souls all over the world. This month’s episode of the World BEYOND War podcast is a free-flowing, no-agenda conversation between Jamelah Vincent, a Yemeni-American in Michigan, and Marc Eliot Stein, our Jewish-American host in New York. We talk about social media, cognitive dissonance, rampant ethnic prejudices in our own troubled country, Martin Luther King, how islamophobia and antisemitism are exploited by war profiteers, and finally about our mutual lost friend Judih Weinstein Haggai, who stands today as a symbol of peace-loving humanity destroyed by inhumane war. Music excerpt: "Blackbird" by Sarah McLachlan.
