Last week, I spoke with the director of a new anti-Israel film. We were having a heated conversation for an article at another magazine, when I brought up the fact that one of the film’s producers was Macklemore – the same artist who once took the stage wearing a long prosthetic nose, a Chasidic-style wig, and a stereotypically Jewish costume (he apologised afterwards, but the damage was done).  I asked the director why he would work with someone who has engaged so openly in antisemitism.

By Hen MazzigI grew up on stories of exile. My family was forced out of Iraq and Tunisia for being Jewish — homes stolen, communities erased and history rewritten. To this day, too many people insist it was “voluntary migration,” as if nearly a million Jews in Arab lands simply woke up one morning and decided to leave behind centuries of roots, culture and history. I’ve spent years pushing back against that erasure, making it clear that my family — and so many others — were forced to leave.
