How Zionism Perpetuates Antisemitism: with Dr. Ariella Aïsha Azoulay

Palestine Debrief

In this episode of Palestine Debrief, I speak with Dr. Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, a renowned scholar, filmmaker, and author whose work focuses on the intersections of colonialism, photography, and historical narratives. Ariella was born in Israel but rejects the Israeli identity, where she identfies as a Muslim Jew. The refers to Israel as The Zionist Settler colony during the episode.
The importance of this conversation with Dr. Ariella is important to understand the historical and ideological underpinnings of how colonialism profoundly reshaped Jewish communities in North Africa and the Arab world, and integrating them into a Western construct. Ariella sheds light on how colonialism split people into groups that don't make sense, creating divisions that erased shared histories and communities and how like colonialism, Zionism, at its core, perpetuates antisemitism by co-opting Jewish identity and erasing diverse Jewish histories and traditions.
