16. Biden’s peace plan, Faiza Shaheen’s deselection & festival boycotts
A Muslim & A Jew Go There
06/06/24 • 44 min
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?

10. Why did the Jew cross the road…at Saturday’s Palestine protest? Columbia campus wars and defining Islamophobia
A Muslim & A Jew Go There
04/25/24 • 50 min
David and Sayeeda discuss the pro-Palestinian protests in London where the head of the Campaign Against Antisemitism clashed with police, as well as chaos on campus at Columbia University across the pond.
Are antisemitism and Islamophobia being ‘weaponised’ to shut down debate about Israel and Islam? And is having an ‘Islamophobia’ definition doing more harm than good, asks a top think tank?

14. A new Jew and the ICC arrest warrants
A Muslim & A Jew Go There
05/23/24 • 49 min
David’s away, so Sayeeda is joined by journalist and new Jew for the week Hugo Rifkind. They discuss Hugo's Scottish Jewishness, Jews as an ethnic minority and those against multiculturalism, as well as the International Criminal Court’s recent application for arrest warrants for the Israeli PM, defence minister and three Hamas leaders. Are war crimes inevitable in any conflict? Does Israel care how it’s viewed on the world stage? And Sayeeda tests Hugo’s Scottish-Yiddish.

15. The Muslim vote, Rafah despair and graffitied cinemas
A Muslim & A Jew Go There
05/30/24 • 48 min
A General Election has been called, and David & Sayeeda discuss the Muslim vote and whether Gaza will be top of the agenda for voters, and whether the election campaign will be dominated by divisive rhetoric.
David & Sayeeda then reflect on the terrible images that have been coming out of Rafah this week, as well as the screening of a documentary about the horrors of October 7th which led to accusations of 'artwashing' and violent protests in East Finchley, North London. But what were the protests about and how have the far right somehow managed to co-opt them again?
Also Spain, Norway and Ireland have recognised the state of Palestine. It is high time the UK followed suit?

18. Sexual violence in conflict, denialism & intimidation of UK MPs
A Muslim & A Jew Go There
06/20/24 • 50 min
This Wednesday marked the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, and David and Sayeeda discuss the way that reports of sexual violence on and since 7 October by Hamas and by the Israeli army have been denied and weaponised by governments, the media and tribalism. Closer to home, Sayeeda and David turn to the general election campaign trail, as two MPs of colour have been hounded and harassed on the streets about their voting record on Gaza. Who would ever want to be a politician?

19. A Muslim & a Jew & a First Muslim First Minister of Scotland Go There
A Muslim & A Jew Go There
06/27/24 • 53 min
Humza Yousaf, who resigned as Scotland's First Minister in May, was the first Muslim to lead a Western democracy. Sayeeda and David talk to him about his faith, his identity and growing up in a Jewish neighbourhood. He talks movingly about his in-laws in Gaza, and how knowing that condemning Hamas's actions on October 7th could have had fatal repercussions for his family. Also - his views on other more right-wing politicians with South Asian heritage, Sunak and Braverman, and on the need for more empathy in politics.

A Muslim & A Jew Go There
03/07/24 • 47 min
A week on from George Galloway’s victory in Rochdale, Sayeeda Warsi and David Baddiel discuss why Gaza seems to be THE issue for so many British Muslims. And in a week when the Prime Minister made his state of the nation speech about extremism, is the government ready to act on threats against Jews? Or is this just a way to muzzle Muslims?
