Linda Sarsour is an author, award-winning racial justice and civil rights activist, an OG community organizer, and mom of three. She's a Palestinian Muslim American, one of our dearest friends, and likely the future President of an independent Republic of Brooklyn.

We opened with audio from Palestinian Journalist Anas al-Sharif as he removed his helmet and vest after the ceasefire deal was announced. He spoke those words on the shoulders of revelers celebrating the news.

We're live with Dr. Suzanne Ross who was born in Antwerp, Belgium just a couple of years before the Nazis invaded and fled with her family on a five year journey across the world and to Palestine. She joins us a second time on the show to discuss her new book, Born Jewish in Nazi Europe: My Journey to Become Anti-Zionist.

We opened with audio of Suzanne at a recent Raging Grannies event.

We play and discuss listener messages about voting. We’re joined for the first half by our guest Katie Unger, the co-founder The Jewish Vote (TJV) at Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ).We also talk about propositions on the ballot in New York, the Working Families Party ballot line, and the protest write in campaign in the NY10 Congressional district, where voters are writing in Palestinian child ‘Hind Rajab’ in opposition to Rep. Daniel Goldman, a Republican Jewish ad featuring Hymie’s, a famous Philadelphia deli, in an effort to flip Jewish Democrats for Trump in swing state Pennsylvania, and Elon Musk’s duplicitous ads in swing state Michigan, attempting to pitt American Jews and Arabs against each other.

After a disinformation campaign by Israel and Joe Biden's White House, can ordinary Americans save UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees?

Yes. We're joined by Mara Kronenfeld, the Executive Director of UNRWA USA to talk about how, and to talk about her own Jewish left history beginning with her grandfather who survived the Holocaust, her dad's Appalachian roots, her time in Syria, Lebanon and Palestine and her work advocating for Palestinian refugees.

Shoshana also talks about attending Ta-Nehisi Coates' "The Message" book event at Harlem's Apollo Theater, as well as some beautiful lessons from our Yom Kippur traditions and... a Palestinian's helicopter on Mars.

“I put my art where the emergency is”

We speak with Sara Erenthal, the artist and activist who fled Neturei Karta as a teen. Neturei Karta has become a familiar presence at our rallies for Gaza and Palestine. Often depicted in a one dimensional way because of that advocacy, we’ll learn from Sara’a experience about the not so liberatory practices of the group and why she had to escape.

We talk about Sara’s incredible artwork featured in The Jewish Week, Haaretz, Vice, The Village Voice, Radio Canada, Time Out, Gothamist, The Brooklyn Rail, and Artnet, among others.
We also chat about the indictment of NYC’s Mayor Adams and NYC rats... acting different.

We end with a song, Bottom Seas by Rachel Angel.
