In this excellent episode, we bring on Asa Winstanley to discuss his new book Weaponising Anti-Semitism: How the Israel Lobby Brought Down Jeremy Corbyn. This conversation is a fantastic work of recent history, and also is an important study for those of us active in the Palestine solidarity movement. Be sure to listen closely, grab yourself a copy of the book, and let others know about the episode!
Asa Winstanley has been writing about Palestine and the Israel lobby since 2005. He spent two years living under Israeli occupation in the West Bank as an activist and writer. He has been an associate editor and reporter with the award-winning website The Electronic Intifada for more than a decade.
