President Andrew Rehfeld, Ph.D., Unpacks Complex Language About Israel and Zionism on podcast, "Can Jew Believe"
"The War Over Words: How Language About Israel and Zionism Became Weaponized!"
Since October 7, terms like “Zionist” and “genocide” are too often used as slurs, shutting down conversations instead of opening them.
In this episode of “Can Jew Believe?”, host Brad Pomerance sits down with President Andrew Rehfeld, Ph.D. to unpack the language shaping today’s discourse. Together, they explore why “Zionist” has become a loaded label, how to critique Israeli policies without delegitimizing Israel itself, and what meaningful, respectful campus dialogue can – and should – look like.
