Weekly Roundup - 08/26/24
This week: Fellow Jonathan Shamir argues that Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest takes the Holocaust back to its colonial roots in order to infuse it with moral relevance for the modern day.
In a new report, Israel/Palestine fellow Maya Rosen delves into the burgeoning Israeli movement to settle Lebanon.
From our upcoming Florida issue, we are also sharing senior reporter Alex Kane’s profile of the Jewish, pro-Israel politician Randy Fine as he navigates an increasingly antisemitic and isolationist Republican Party.
Finally, we are sharing Eli Valley’s new cartoon, “Kamala’s Convention.”
A quick note: Jewish Currents staff takes the last week of August off to recharge, so we will see you all in September!
