This week's bonus episode features an interview between Nate and Ben Natan (@thebennatan). Ben's an actor based in New York City, and he's involved with left-wing Jewish activism in the US, a politics he came to after growing up Jewish with one Israeli parent and one American one. They talked about Israel's relationship to militarism, what Zionism and anti-Zionism actually mean, and what sorts of fault lines exist in the Jewish experience in the US.
