WE ARE BACK FROM HIATUS!!! And we sure did miss you, queerfam. This episode is very close to both our hearts, and we hope you will receive it with love, even if it challenges you in some ways. Instead of our usual post-season race roundtable, today we are discussing Israel & Palestine, & our relationship to the current war on Gaza as Antizionist Jews. With us is special guest Kaia from the Western MA chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. We'll discuss our personal histories & how we came to consciousness on this topic, as well as some pretty clear parallels between SPOP & our lived experiences of Israel/Palestine. There are a LOT of links in today's show notes, so please use them! They're WICKED EDUCATIONAL. We will return with regular S5 coverage in late June 2024.
