American Jewish Perspective on Israel’s War on Gaza | On the Record

Simone Zimmerman, an American Jewish activist, joins On The Record and opens up about how supporting Israel was a natural part of her upbringing. She shares her perspective on US-Israel relations, and its influence on the social chasm it’s created among Jewish people. Along with Al Jazeera presenter Samantha Johnson, Zimmerman discusses her relationship with the Jewish community, her experience with activism and the vociferous backlash to her critique of Israel’s war on Gaza. She highlights the rise of anti-Semitism, the danger of pro-Israeli propaganda and governmental crackdowns on ceasefire protests in both Israel and the US.
