“You Cannot Pick and Choose Exceptions to Your Bigotry”
About this episode
Palestinian-American Georgia State Representative Ruwa Romman recently wrote on X of former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I’m tired of Palestine being used to erase every other misdeed once someone with a platform says anything for us.”
Ben Lorber is the co-author of Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism, and a senior research analyst at Political Research Associates, who writes frequently about the American right.

Whether and how to challenge right wing hosts when progressives appear on their shows
Is right-wing antisemitism influencing the left?
How to talk about Israel’s undue influence on American politics without playing into antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories
