This week on The Tea with Myriam Francois, journalist and critic of U.S. foreign policy Aaron Maté joins us for a deep dive into Palestine, ‘Jewishness,’ and the media narratives around them. As a Jewish voice opposing Israel’s violence, he’s been dismissed and sidelined — but he’s not backing down.

From the devastation in Gaza to the discourse in Washington, Maté thoughtfully explores how identity can be instrumentalized, how definitions of antisemitism are being reshaped in politics, and why solidarity with Palestinians is not only compatible with Jewish identity — but essential to its integrity.

 🛑 Zionism vs. Judaism – What happens when a political project lays claim to a religious identity?

🛑 Hasbara 2.0 – Israel’s PR machine and the manufacturing of moral consent.

🛑 Gaza and Genocide – Is the world finally waking up to reality?

🛑 Jewish Identity Under Siege – What happens when dissenting Jews are cast out?

 This episode is a deep dive into the identity politics of empire — and the people refusing to be used by it.
