Israeli innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum sits down with renowned Jewish activist and media personality Yuval David to expose the rise of antisemitism within progressive LGBT circles and the dangers of “pinkwashing” accusations against Israel. Broadcasting from Jerusalem at the JNS Media Hub, the two deliver an unfiltered conversation about the betrayal of Jewish values in modern progressive spaces and the urgent need for Jewish advocacy today.
David, once a leading figure in LGBTQ activism, shares his journey from celebrated progressive icon to outspoken Zionist advocate—and how he was branded the “biggest pinkwasher” by hate groups like Queers for Palestine. Together, they break down the meaning of pinkwashing, the growing exclusion of Jews from supposed movements of inclusion and how anti-Israel propaganda has infiltrated social justice arenas.
They also explore David’s political shift from Democrat to proud Jewish advocate; his entry into Jewish leadership via Kol Israel; and offer practical advice for Jews to fight back using social-media algorithms.
