Three Jews against genocide; fascinating insights
JVL Introduction
Katie Halper interviews Tony Greenstein, about his arrest, the right to free speech and more, including his book “Zionism During the Holocaust: The Weaponisation of Memory in the Service of State and Nation.” Then she speaks with JVL Co Chair Jenny Manson along with British Rabbi Hershel Gluck, Chair of the Arab-Jewish Forum. Rabbi Gluck was recently also interviewed by the BBC religious affairs programme “Sunday”. Their interview focuses mainly on antisemitism, new antisemitism and the misuse of allegations of antisemitism, the crackdown on protest, the Labour Party, including the attacks on Jeremy Corbyn as well as Rabbi Gluck’s work and his partnership with Muslim people.

Arrested For Tweets About H*mas With Tony Greenstein, Jenny Manson & Rabbi Herschel Gluck

It’s 1h21. It would be a very rare interview that would be worth that amount of my life when I could be campaigning in more effective ways. What essential information will it tell me beyond what I have read and watched on these cases? They need to produce a 5 minute summary.
So important for me to hear Rabbi Gluck talk about Project Fear (and also about his commitment to human rights which was part of the original UN charter) and Jenny Manson talk about a rise of anti-semitism in reaction to Israel’s treatment of Palestinians – two emerging trends which I have observed but never hear acknowledgment of in MSM. And Tony Greenstein’s (and others’) recent arrest for tweeting support of Palestinians is not exactly headline news, is it. The suppression of these conversations is chilling and isolating, no doubt about it.
From a solidarity member, thank-you Jenny, Tony and Rabbi Herschel Gluck for keeping the flame of faith and hope alive.
