What Did You Do Yesterday? with Max Rushden & David O'Doherty · EP9: Jen Brister · 20 Oct 2024 podcast

And so I've always been really conscious to sort of make sure that I distance myself from anything that might be construed as anti-Semitism.

I'm just criticizing what the Israeli government are doing and have done previously.

for some time in terms of apartheid and the settlements.

And anyway, I don't want to get into the whole politics of it, but I want to be able to separate the two.

That I have no hate in my heart for anyone, but I feel like it is possible for us to be critical of a country or particularly of a government, I would say.

Yeah.

And the way that they are conducting a military operation against civilians, innocent civilians.

And I think that we should be able to do that.

Yeah.

And I think it's OK to talk about it.

And I think it's OK to be able to criticise the government.

I think we should always be able to criticise the government.

I mean, and it's also OK to criticise the government and say that not all Israelis or not all Palestinians or not all British people or not all American people, you know, if we are all being judged by our government, then we're fucked, aren't we?

My government doesn't represent me or my values or how I interact with the world.

And I would hate that anyone would think that to conflate those two things.

And yes, what's happening in the Middle East is incredibly complicated, but I'm coming at it purely from a humanitarian perspective.

And I haven't involved myself in the politics.

I think we can all agree that there are civilians on the ground who are in need of assistance.

And that is what I would like to offer.

So anyway, I didn't want to bring the podcast down.
