Anti-Zionist Jewish author and transgender educator Nevo Zisin spoke with us about organising amongst members of the Jewish community in so-called Australia in solidarity with Palestine against Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. Groups including Loud Jew Collective, Jews Against Fascism, Jews Against the Occupation and Tzedek Collective as well as Jewish comrades in Mparntwe/Alice Springs have been engaged in solidarity actions across the country putting their bodies on the line to demand an end to colonial violence against Palestinians and to fight alongside them for liberation. Listeners, whether Jewish or not, are invited to join Jews Against Fascism and Loud Jew Collective at a gathering tonight at Parliament Gardens from 6PM calling again for an end to the genocide of Palestinians and an immediate ceasefire.//
