Why is it that after an attempted genocide of Jews in the Jewish State, the response by many is too target other Jews in the U.S. and around the world? To target them with violent rhetoric, vandalism, intimidation, and actual physical violence? Is this new? What are its origins? What is the difference between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism? And what's with the tearing down of posters of hostage children? Our guest today is Yossi Klein Halevi who - in addition to being an important voice in our new book - is a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. Together with Imam Abdullah Antepli of Duke University, he co-directs the Harmant Institute's Muslim Leadership Initiative. Yossi has written a number of books, including "Like Dreamers: The Story of the Israeli Paratroopers Who Reunited Jerusalem and Divided a Nation," and his latest, "Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor," which was a New York Times bestseller. He has written for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Times of Israel.

Today is a special episode in which I preview some of the questions we try to answer in our new book, The Genius of Israel: The Surprising Resilience of a Divided Nation in a Turbulent World.  Saul Singer and I collaborated on Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle.

I have been watching what has been unfolding in the state of Israel – the 5 percent (and growing) of the Israeli population that has taken to the streets of the Jewish state. They are protesting the proposed changes that would radically diminish the power of the judiciary, thus threatening the only thing that Israel has that represents a true balance of powers. When I see those scenes, it brings me back to those heady days of 1969, 1970 – when my American peers and I protested the Viet Nam war, and racism – and any number of things. I feel a kinship with the throngs in the streets of Israel, because I agree with them. Israel and the Zionist project itself are in danger. Join me in this podcast -- a dive into the rich legacy of Israeli protest music. Our guest: Yossi Klein Halevi: one of Israel's most prolific and profound writers and journalists; an author of many books, including "Like Dreamers," which was about the generation of soldiers who fought in the 1967 Six Day War, and how those individuals shaped Israeli society; a fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute, where he is the co-director, with Imam Abdullah Antepli, of the Muslim Leadership Institute – one of the most significant voices in the Jewish world today.  

In a thought-provoking discussion with Imam Abdullah Antepli, he talks about growing up in a secular family in Turkey and overcoming the Antisemitic indoctrination in his youth. He responds to the notion that Jew hatred is baked into Christianity and Islam and, therefore, unstoppable. We delve into the similarities between Judaism and Islam, our complicated history living together, contextualizing Zionism, the promising impact of the Abraham Accords, and pay tribute to his friend and our inspiration, the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks zt'l. With a focus on hope and mutual respect, we discuss if there can be a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and discuss the importance of building bridges between Jewish and Muslim communities. Additionally, he clarifies misconceptions about Islam and addresses whether it should be moderated, reformed, or neither. The fact is, religious fundamentalism is a problem that plagues all 3 Abrahamic faiths, which can only be solved by understanding each other and promoting more dialogue. We also talk about the power of Shabbat and the Imam's call for singing a "new song" of peace. Don't miss this enlightening conversation between 2 sons of Abraham, a Jew and a Muslim.

The tensions of our time are well-known. But there are stories that are not being told, because they are not violent and not shouting to be heard. One of them is that all over this country, synagogues and mosques, Muslims and Jews, have been coming to know one another. There is friendship. There are initiatives that are patiently, and at human scale, planting the seeds for new realities across generational time. As part of the Civil Conversations Project, a live conversation at the Union for Reform Judaism’s General Assembly in Boston between Imam Abdullah Antepli and Rabbi Sarah Bassin. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode “Sarah Bassin and Abdullah Antepli — Holy Envy.” Find more at onbeing.org.
