Being Jewish in a time of Israel | David Adler | UNAPOLOGETIC https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/b834bc70-7abb-40a8-8b26-05498b29a98a David Adler - a Jewish American writer, activist, and organiser - joins UNAPOLOGETIC where he reflects on what it means to be Jewish in the age of Israel’s genocide on Gaza — and why silence is no longer an option. From his family’s divided Zionist and anti-Zionist roots to his experience being detained by Israel after joining the Summud Flotilla, Adler recounts how Jewish identity, power, and solidarity are being redefined. He explains why Israel poses an existential threat to Judaism itself — and why resisting in the name of justice is the only path left.
