A Muslim & A Jew Go There

16. Biden’s peace plan, Faiza Shaheen’s deselection & festival boycotts

As the election campaign ramps up, Labour have got themselves into hot water over the deselection of candidate Faiza Shaheen. Is Labour guilty of double standards on antisemitism and Islamophobia in the party, and is there a cynical attempt to weaponise racism for factional political purposes?Sayeeda and David discuss Biden’s ceasefire plan and whether it’s what Israel and Hamas really want. Hay Festival, Edinburgh International Book Festival and Cheltenham Literature Festival have all cut ties with their sponsor over links to the fossil fuel industry and alleged links to Israel. Has this been an effective strategy in the cultural fight against Israel or is the boycott bonkers?
