    She was fired for pro-Palestine speech. She's a Jewish professor.
    2025/01/07
    While teaching at Muhlenberg College, Maura Finkelstein made no secret of her support for Palestinian liberation. Even before receiving tenure, Finkelstein taught courses on Palestine and made her views publicly known. Then, in May of 2024, she was unceremoniously fired for sharing pro-Palestine content on her personal social media account. Finkelstein joins The Marc Steiner Show to discuss her journey as an anti-Zionist Jewish American, and why she's willing to stand by her principles despite the consequences.

  • 'We are destroying entire worlds': A West Bank rabbi's fight against Israeli Occupation

    'We are destroying entire worlds': A West Bank rabbi's fight against Israeli Occupation
    2024/12/10
    It's no secret that Israel has sought to fully annex the West Bank for decades—and now, many believe the time may be near. For Rabbi Arik Ascherman, the struggle to defend Palestinians in the West Bank from settler attacks has become his life's work. But it's a task that is only becoming more difficult with time, as the extreme dehumanization of Palestinians becomes all-the-more normalized by the genocide in Gaza. Ascherman returns to The Marc Steiner Show to discuss the brutal violence unfolding in the West Bank, and what, if anything, can be done to address Israel's anti-Palestinian racism.

  • 'Everything is destroyed': Surviving 423 days of genocide in Gaza

    'Everything is destroyed': Surviving 423 days of genocide in Gaza
    2024/12/03
    Hunger. Cold. Thirst. Disease. These are the daily realities of life in Gaza, where for the past 423 days Israel has unleashed a genocide that will come to define our contemporary era. As Palestinians struggle to meet their daily needs, they are also faced with a battle to preserve their memories and dignity. Over the past year, journalist and filmmaker Ruwaida Amer has produced numerous powerful, heart-wrenching documentary reports for TRNN from the rubble and ruins of Gaza, shining a light on the darkest realities of Israel's genocidal war on Palestinians, even as she herself suffers from—and struggles to survive—the onslaught. Calling in from Gaza, Amer joins The Marc Steiner Show to share an honest portrait of her life and the lives of her fellow Palestinians in the midst of genocide.

    Studio Production: David Hebden
    Audio Post-Production: Alina Nehlich


    Please watch and share Ruwaida Amer's on-the-ground reports from Gaza for TRNN, including:
    • "Gaza's orphans speak: 'I found [my family] in pieces. In pieces'"
    • "Palestinians pray in the ruins of Gaza's bombed mosques"
    • "'Look at our suffering!': Gaza's message to the world after a year of genocide"
    • "Life for Gaza's children during Israel's genocide"
    • "Gaza's survivors cling to life in Khan Yunis refugee camps"

  • The bad, the worse, and the ugly: Trump's incoming cabinet

    The bad, the worse, and the ugly: Trump's incoming cabinet
    2024/11/26
    Not even a month has passed since the presidential election, and the incoming slate of Trump cabinet nominees is already beset with controversy and scandal. But the litany of sex crimes and other misdeeds Trump's appointees are accused of is just the tip of the iceberg—what's even more threatening is the agenda they represent. Journalists and returning guests Steven Monacelli and Jeff Sharlet join The Marc Steiner Show for a breakdown of the incoming cabinet.

  • Solidarity or Jewish supremacy? Judaism at a crossroads w/Rabbi Cat Zavis

    Solidarity or Jewish supremacy? Judaism at a crossroads w/Rabbi Cat Zavis
    2024/11/19
    The future of Jewish identity is at a crossroads thanks to Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza. The question facing millions of people is whether to take the path of solidarity with Palestine or the road of Jewish supremacy trodden by the leadership of major Jewish institutions and by the Israeli government itself. Rabbi Cat Davis of Beyt Tikkun joins The Marc Steiner Show for a discussion on how the best of the Jewish tradition equips progressive Jews to opt for solidarity over supremacy.

  • Anti-Zionism has existed since the beginning of Zionism w/Molly Crabapple

    Anti-Zionism has existed since the beginning of Zionism w/Molly Crabapple
    2024/11/13
    Not many people today know about the radical history of the Jewish Labor Bund, the Jewish socialist party founded within the Russian Empire in 1897—but they should. Understanding the Bund is essential for understanding the long and critically relevant tradition of Jewish anti-Zionism. “From the Bund's very earliest days,” artist and author Molly Crabapple says, members “saw that if there was an attempt to create a Jewish ethno-state in Palestine, it would mean a state of eternal war with both the neighboring countries [and] the Palestinians… inside that country.”

    In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Crabapple about what the history of the Bund can teach us today in the midst of Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine, and about how anti-Zionist Jews, including Crabapple herself, continue to fight for a socialist alternative to Zionism.

  • Rep. Raskin: Trump’s administration will ‘create a climate of fear and intimidation’ to govern. Don’t let them

    Rep. Raskin: Trump’s administration will ‘create a climate of fear and intimidation’ to govern. Don’t let them
    2024/11/08
    Donald J. Trump is headed back to the White House for a second term, Republicans will control the Senate, and if they win a majority in the House of Representatives, they will control all three branches of government: the Executive, the Legislature, and the Judiciary. In the 2024 presidential race, the support holding up Democrats’ “blue wall” in 2020 crumbled, and a MAGA-led “red wave” swept large portions of the electoral map. What the hell happened? And what happens now? How did Democrats lose so soundly, how did Republicans pull off such sizable wins? In this urgent episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Congressman Jamie Raskin, a Democrat representing Maryland’s 8th District, about how Kamala Harris and the Democrats lost to MAGA, how to address the dangerous political divides in the US today, and what we need to be prepared for with a second Trump administration.
