Het leven van een bescheiden sociologieprofessor in Canada staat plots volledig op zijn kop wanneer hij wordt beschuldigd van een bomaanslag op een synagoge in Parijs in 1980. Hassan Diab houdt vol dat hij onschuldig is, maar Franse speurders lijken vastbesloten het tegendeel te bewijzen.
Journalisten Dana Ballout en Alex Atack nemen de luisteraar mee door de onverwachte wendingen van dit uitzonderlijke verhaal, en stellen daarbij de centrale vraag: Is Hassan Diab schuldig, of is hij een zondebok? En wat als gerechtigheid voor de één, onrecht betekent voor de ander?
Statistically, a Jew in Canada is now 9 times more likely to be a victim of a hate crime than a Jew in the United States. How did this happen in a country known for politeness, diversity, and social democracy? Is this even a real phenomenon, or is anti-zionism being misclassified as antisemitism?
Journalist and Publisher Jesse Brown is diving deep into the subject, travelling across Canada and speaking with Jews, anti-zionist activists, and high-profile public figures, all of whom have seen their lives change since October 7th, 2023.

Is hatred against Jews calming down, or is it back for good? Is it correct to consider antizionism the new name of antisemitism, or is it a different ideology entirely? Finally, is antizionism actually pro-Palestinian?
