Jewish-Muslim Solidarity: Building a Decolonial Alternative to Zionist Hegemony
Dr. Santiago Slabodsky, Rabbi Alissa Wise, and Iskander Abbasi speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. From New York to Cape Town, London to Los Angeles, Muslims and Jews are at the forefront of confronting Zionism – whether in its Christian, Jewish or Islamic iteration. This movement of faith-based Jewish-Muslim solidarity is a direct challenge to Zionism’s attempt to normalize oppressive Jewish-Muslim relations through colonizing Palestine and creating Muslim-majority states which are economically dependent on Israel/the West. This session will explore how Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and contested/shared histories of Jewish-Muslims relations play a role in providing a decolonial alternative to Zionist hegemony. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
