How a Student Protester Changed Her Mind About Israel
<p>A firsthand account from activist Taryn Thomas on how seeing the reality of October 7 for herself exposed the deception at the heart of the antizionist movement.</p><p>What really happened inside the elite university antizionist encampments? </p><p>When student Taryn Thomas joined the high-profile anti-Israel student encampment at Stanford following October 7th, she expected a space dedicated to human rights, justice and critical thinking. Instead, she found a highly insular culture shaped by social media algorithms, peer pressure, and intense linguistic policing, where selective empathy was the norm and dissent meant immediate social exile.</p><p>In this episode, Taryn sits down with FAA co-founder Freya Papworth to share an insider’s look at the normalisation of antisemitism that defined her campus experience after October 7th.</p><p>Taryn details her journey toward a new perspective after visiting the Nova exhibition—a touring installation documenting the Hamas attack on the Nova music festival, where around 360 people were killed, many more were injured, with some subjected to sexual violence, and 44 people were taken hostage to Gaza—and traveling to Israel to hear from survivors firsthand.</p><p>Taryn’s journey is essential listening, especially if you’ve ever felt pulled into a discussion or activist space that leaves no room for doubt, no space for questions, and no empathy for the other side. This episode is a challenge to that. A reminder that real understanding doesn’t come from slogans or taking sides. It comes from being willing to look, to question, and to confront what you’d rather not see.</p><p>---</p><p><strong>00:00</strong> Taryn describes how she got involved in pro‑Palestine activism and began to question it <br><strong>02:00</strong> How social media shaped her understanding of October 7 and misled her early on <br><strong>05:30</strong> Inside the encampment: pressure to conform and silence around antisemitism <br><strong>08:30</strong> How language was controlled and dissent was shut down <br><strong>12:30</strong> The turning point where she felt the movement had lost its moral clarity <br><strong>15:00</strong> Seeing the Nova exhibition and confronting what happened on October 7 <br><strong>20:00</strong> Her decision to visit Israel to understand the reality firsthand <br><strong>24:00</strong> Experiencing a missile attack and seeing daily life in Israel up close <br><strong>26:30</strong> The backlash and loss of relationships after speaking out <br><strong>38:00</strong> Why personal relationships and stories — not arguments — changed her mind</p><p>---</p><p><strong>Follow us at:</strong></p><p><a href="https://x.com/FAAntisemitism" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://x.com/FAAntisemitism</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/faantisemitism_uk" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/faantisemitism_uk</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588267236387" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588267236387</a></p><p><strong>Support Us – </strong><a href="https://donate.stripe.com/4gM00j20h8Pe5DXdDTgrS00" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>https://donate.stripe.com/4gM00j20h8Pe5DXdDTgrS00</strong></a></p><p>And hit <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@FeministsAgainstAntisemitism" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">SUBSCRIBE</a> on our YouTube Channel</p><p>📣 <strong>Join our WhatsApp Channel - </strong>Quick updates, new posts, event announcements →</p><p>http://whatsapp.feministsagainstantisemitism.org/</p>

Fighting the Hate, with Melanie Phillips

Silencing Jewish Voices: With Zohara Niddam
<p>FAA’s Georgia Ladbury interviews musician Zohara Niddam about the cancellation of her band’s UK tour, and the growing effort to keep Jewish and Israeli artists off stage.</p><p>We’re marking the UK’s Jewish Culture Week with Israeli musician Zohara Niddam who joins Feminists Against Antisemitism to unpack the recent cancellation of a klezmer band tour in a case that raised serious questions about whether Jewish artists are now being judged on their politics before their work.</p><p>A Jewish band, Oi Va Voi, found itself subjected to a level of scrutiny rarely applied in the music industry: questioned over nationality, identity and politics, and ultimately cancelled.</p><p>The official justification? The artwork of Zohara’s solo album, a piece designed to capture the emotional and symbolic complexity of life amid conflict.</p><p>The reality of the response? <strong>Are Jewish and Israeli artists now being judged to a different standard and expected to justify their identity, their associations, and even their right to perform?</strong></p><p>At a time when everything feels pulled into simple categories – oppressor or oppressed, right or wrong – this episode explores what gets lost when there’s no room for complexity. When art can’t be open, ambiguous or difficult. When artists aren’t allowed to explore, only to agree.</p><p>And when the very voices trying to grapple with conflict, including those advocating for coexistence, are the first to be shut down.</p>
