The Parallels Between Ukrainian Nationalism and Zionism: A Deep Dive with Tarik Cyril Amar

In this episode of the Lib Podcast, Sacha and Benji are joined by historian Tarik Cyril Amar to explore the psychological and ideological parallels between Ukrainian nationalism and Zionism. They discuss the historical roots, the influence of imperial powers, and the contemporary implications of these movements. From the manipulation by foreign powers to the surprising similarities in their quest for 'innocence,' this conversation delves into complex themes of nationalism, historical revisionism, and the socio-political landscape in Ukraine and Israel. The trio also touches on the broader ramifications of these ideologies on global politics and society.
