Good Jews Only? Confronting New York Magazine's Habibi City Story
About this episode
Noam Weissman discusses the controversy surrounding New York Magazine’s 'Habibi City' issue and the historical context of Jewish identity and exclusion.
Noam Weissman unpacks the firestorm around New York Magazine’s "Habibi City" issue and traces the deeper historical pattern behind it: the demand that Jews prove they belong by disavowing Zionism, Israel, and sometimes each other. From Poland’s 1968 “anti-Zionist” purge to today’s SWANA purity tests, this episode is about the seductive pull of belonging, and the old politics of exclusion dressed up in today’s language of identity, justice, and solidarity.
