Amira Jarmakani on the move from “Zionism is racism” to “antisemitism is racism”
<p>This episode features Dr. Amira Jarmakani, who explains how the Zionist campaign to enshrine the IHRA definition of antisemitism and use it to count antisemitic incidents is a tactical move to counter the United Nations’ powerful assertion that Zionism is racism. That UN resolution was passed in 1975. Dr. Jarmakani explains how <em>counting incidents</em> works to turn our attention away from racism and state violence. Instead, it substitutes a depoliticized notion of <em>hate</em>, and uses it to demonize those who resist state violence in the U.S., Palestine, and around the world.</p><p>The transcript of this episode is on our website, along with a video recording of Dr Jarmakani’s talk – which took place at our 2023 conference also called “Battling the IHRA Definition: Theory and Activism.” On the website you’ll also find more resources on the IHRA definition, and on how it’s being resisted. The website is <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://criticalzionismstudies.org">criticalzionismstudies.org</a>.</p><p>Amira Jarmakani is a professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and affiliated faculty with the Center for Islamic and Arabic Studies and LGBTQ Plus Studies at San Diego State University. Dr. Jarmakani is a member of the Palestinian Feminist Collective and the advisory board of the Institute.</p>

Alana Lentin on Zionist Claims of Indigeneity in the Racial Regime of Nativism
<p>Today’s episode features a recording of Dr Alana Lentin speaking at our October 2023 conference titled Battling the IHRA Definition: Theory and Activism. Alana Lentin, also a founding collective member of the Institute, works on critical theorizations of race, racism, and antiracism. Her talk is titled “Zionist Claims of Indigeneity in the Racial Regime of Nativism.”</p><p>Dr Lentin explains how the IHRA definition fits into the broader landscape of repression within the so-called war on Critical Race Theory or the war on woke. She looks at Zionist claims of Jewish Indigeneity to Palestine in conjunction with Indigenous politics and settler colonial context of Australia. In October 2023, during our conference, Australia held a referendum called Indigenous Voice to Parliament which if passed would have established an advisory body comprised of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, to represent the views of Indigenous communities in Australian parliament. This referendum, that Dr Lentin references, ultimately failed to pass.</p><p>For more details, check out our website <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://criticalzionistmstudies.org">criticalzionistmstudies.org.</a></p>
