Listen "Shannon Seban: Antisemitism in Western society and politics"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of 'JPost sits down with...', we sit down with Shannon Seban, a French politician, City Council Member of Rosny-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis), and advisor on European Affairs for the Combat Antisemitism Movement. Shannon has been a vocal advocate for combating discrimination and promoting French laïcité, but her Jewish identity has made her the target of both online and in-person attacks.Shannon shares her personal experiences of facing antisemitic abuse in both public and private spaces, as well as her efforts to fight hatred through her political role. We discuss the importance of protecting the values of laïcité while also standing up against rising antisemitism in France and Europe. Her powerful story sheds light on the challenges and resilience of those fighting for equality in a time of deepening divides. Join us for an insightful conversation about the intersection of politics, identity, and the ongoing battle against antisemitism in Europe.Hosted and edited by Shifra Jacobs.
