Saturday, January 27th, marked the UN-recognized International Holocaust Remembrance Day. For that commemoration, the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) hosted a webinar panel, discussing Israel’s misuse of the Nazi genocide to justify the genocide of Palestinians. Our podcast episode brings audio from that webinar, which featured an international panel of anti-zionist and internationalist activists discussing the urgent need for a remembrance of the Jewish Holocaust that is distinct from Israel’s settler colonial project, and how Israel’s weaponization of that history impacts their communities. The panel is co-moderated by our Law & Disorder co-host Jesse Strauss along with David Comedi from the Argentinian chapter of IJAN, with the following guests:
- Monadel Herzallah, a Palestinian with the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) and a plaintiff in the US-based Defense for Children International – Palestine v. Biden court case
- Phethani Madzivhandila from the Walter Rodney Library in Azania (South Africa)
- Sara Kershnar, a co-founder of IJAN and member of the U.S. chapter of IJAN
- A clip from Hajo Meyer, Auschwitz survivor and IJAN ancestor who inspired and participated in the 2010 Never Again for Anyone speaking tour
- Kali Akuno from Cooperation Jackson
