‘An Interview with a Former Zionist’- My Beautiful Voice On South African Radio

I gave this interview sitting in bed at 9 in the morning to a South African Islamic radio station. I wouldn’t call myself a ‘former Zionist’ really, though I suppose I did write that in this blog’s ‘About’ section…

Welcome to Doikayt! This blog is about: fighting fascism and racism in the US; the Israel/Palestine conflict, through an anti-Zionist lens; Left politics, history and thought; Yiddishkeit, and more.

The word 'doikayt', meaning 'hereness' in Yiddish, was the anti-Zionist worldview of old-country Jewish radicals that we must struggle here for our liberation, not leave for Palestine. Today it means that each of us must struggle, from wherever we now stand, for the liberation of ourselves and all other people.

My name is Ben Lorber and I'm an organizer and writer. Today I organize in the movement for justice and peace in Israel/Palestine. I've also been active around racial and economic justice struggles, migrants' rights and worker organizing movements in Chicago and elsewhere. Just another anti-Zionist Jew who wants to smash fascism and raise the sparks!

In my day job I work as Campus Coordinator with Jewish Voice for Peace, an organization that fights for justice in Palestine- check us out at jewishvoiceforpeace.org- though of course, the views expressed here are my own. I also make weird folksy music as Narrow Bridge, at narrowbridge.bandcamp.com. I live with my lovely partner and two cuddly cats in Chicago, Illinois.

I really hope you enjoy my thoughts on this strange and beautiful world of ours :)
