Summary
In this episode of No Way, Jose!, host Jose Galison welcomes journalist Matt Wolfson for another installment of their weekly series, The Weekly Wolfson. Titled “NWJ816 - The Dehumanization of Semites,” the conversation plays with the fact that both Arabs and Jews/Israelis are Semites, while exploring how dehumanization flows in multiple directions. Jose and Matt examine the ways Western journalists have framed the conflict and contributed to this paradigm, drawing directly from Matt’s recent piece in Almayadeen, “Colonization in print: How Western Liberal journalists distort Lebanon and Palestine.” They also take a realistic look at groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, moving past simplistic labels to discuss what these organizations actually are, how they function, and the consequences of the narratives built around them. Sharp, candid, and grounded in geopolitics and ethnopolitics, this episode cuts through the noise and challenges listeners to rethink the stories being told about the region.
