For years, in driving around the Bay Area it’s been common to spot pink billboards from a company called JewBelong, with pro-Jewish statements ranging from “Jewish Mothers: The original Yelp” to “All jews welcome. Refreshments and guilt to follow”. More recently, those billboards have become a strange and sinister zionist platform, recently printing statements like “Hamas is your problem too” or “keep calling me a zionist – nothing makes me prouder”. JewBelong posted on its instagram a particularly inflammatory image, saying, “Trust me. If Israel wanted to commit genocide in Gaza, it could.”
Joining us today, to give us some background about JewBelong, is Michael Schirtzer, LA-based co-host of the Palestine Pod podcast, as well as an actor and comedian who has written for NBC Sports, The Young Turks, and our Pacifica sister station in LA – KPFK.
