How Zionism colonized the Jews: "Talk about bupkes!" with Oded Schechter

Bupkes for your ears! A Talmudic scholar's take on how Jews and Palestinians are both subjects of the same colonial project.

From Berlin, Talmudist and philosopher Oded Schechter gives The Bupkes a rare interview about how the nation-state of Israel, as an expression of Jewish nationalism, does not liberate the Jew but, to the contrary, subjugates him.
