        MEMO in Conversation with Benjamin Moser

        In this episode of MEMO Conversations, we speak with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Benjamin Moser about his book Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History. We explore one of the book’s central arguments: Jewish opposition to Zionism has a long history, yet many of the people who voiced it have been written out of the story. We also discuss the history of Arab Jews and what it reveals about the idea that Jews and Arab have always been in conflict. Our conversation asks what this history can teach us at a time when opposition to Zionism is often conflated with anti-Semitism. MORE >>> MEMO in Conversation With

        In this episode, we discuss Israel’s election results and ask why Netanyahu’s opponents would rather exclude Arab parties than work with them to remove him. We examine Palestinian voter turnout, Israel’s growing isolation and World Jewish Congress president and former Netanyahu confidant Ron Lauder’s claim that Israel wants dominance, not peace.
