The Muslim vote, Rafah despair and graffitied cinemas

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?This podcast is produced by Instinct Productions Executive Producers: Jemima Khan Goldsmith and Sarah LintonSeries Producer: Rachel Balmer and Jemima Khan GoldsmithProduction Manager: Sangeetha VeluruSend in your questions via email: podcast@instinctproductions.com or via X: @amuslimandajew Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

“A Muslim & A Jew Go There” is a brand new podcast produced by Instinct Productions, hosted by comedian David Baddiel (author of “Jews Don’t Count”) and politician Sayeeda Warsi (“Muslims Don’t Matter”) who will take on whatever controversy hits the headlines each week, providing context and discussion around current political and cultural events involving and affecting British Muslims and Jews.  Covering topics from antisemitism in the Labour party and Islamophobia in the Conservative Party to debating concepts like “racism hierarchies”, “non-visible minorities” and “victim olympics”, as well as tropes and stereotypes, and the Middle East and its impact on Jewish and Muslim communities in Britain, this topical, often funny podcast will go there in a way others might not dare.
