Today&#8217;s part two of the conversation with Naomi Klein about Doppelganger highlights the Jewish elements in the book, and looks at them through the lens of Palestine & Israel. We discuss Zionism, Marxism and the Jewish Labor Bund&#8217;s notion of &#8216;hereness.&#8221; We look at the battles over the definition of  antisemitism and the ways accusations of antisemitism have been weaponized to silence legitimate political speech. And together, as two people who&#8217;ve both been involved in Jewish activism  in relation to Palestinian solidarity, we take stock of the current upsurge in organizing, direct action and civil disobedience on the Jewish Left in relation to Palestine.
For the bonus audio archive Naomi reads for us from Philip Roth&#8217;s Operation Shylock, a book that features prominently in her book. She reads a letter that fake Philip Roth (his doppelganger) writes to the real Philip Roth. It is not to miss.
