Leading British commentator and Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland joined award-winning Australian journalist Debbie Whitmont for a wide ranging conversation covering Europe, Israel and the US. As one of the first and loudest voices to raise the question of antisemitism within the UK Labour party, and as a trenchant critic of Jeremy Corbyn, Freedland is uniquely placed to offer insights into whether the Jewish community is warming to the new Labour leadership and its policies. Freedland, with extensive journalistic experience in the US, Britain and the Middle East, will also speak about the country’s changing role in Europe after Brexit and what this might mean for the government’s policies towards Israel and the Palestinians. This is an audio version of a webinar event hosted on Thursday 2 July 2020.
