I speak to the enormously successful campaign of Zorhan Mamdani, his charisma, the very practical policy goals set by his run for mayor of New York City, and how you will be disappointed.
"I just want to be really transparent and honest about the fact that I, too, feel many of the feelings that people have about this, while also having this other part of myself, which I don't want to describe as pessimistic as much as just realistic."

Anti-zionist writer and agitator Amanda Gelender joins me to discuss what she describes as the Jewish community's widespread fascism problem.
I ask Amanda about her upbringing in a Jewish community and what role Zionism had in her perceptions of the State of Israel and Occupied Palestine, including stepping back from the question itself and interrogating the often unexamined contexts and built-in assumptions the question contains. We converse on how "Jewish feelings" are weaponized in the discourse on the Israel-US genocide of Palestinians in Gaza as an attempt to label any calls for its end and support for resistance to it as antisemitic. And lastly, another thread we pull on is the question of what fascism is and how, in our view, Zionism contained the seeds of fascism since its inception and nascent colonization efforts in Palestine.
