About this episode

Joel explores the perspectives of those in Brooklyn who oppose Israel.

Joel recently spent three days in Brooklyn surrounded by people opposed to Israel—pro-Palestine gestures, the Park Slope Food Coop voting to ban Israeli products, and a sea of anti-Israel sentiment. In today’s episode, he’ll attempt to see Israel through their eyes.  --------------- Support Inside Israel: Contribute Book Joel during his spring/fall 2026 lecture and comedy tour: www.joelchasnoff.com To learn more about Inside Israel, and to submit a question for Joel to answer on-air, visit www.joelchasnoff.com/podcast   Sign up for Joel’s newsletter, Hebrew Is Magic: www.joelchasnoff.com Joel’s tour schedule: www.joelchasnoff.com/shows Joel on Instagram: @joelchasnoff   Israel 201 , co-authored by Joel and Benji Lovitt and Winner of the 2023 National Jewish Book Award: www.joelchasnoff.com/books Hosted on Acast.
