NEW: For the Jewish Currents Florida issue, I profiled Florida State Rep. Randy Fine (@voterandyfine), the bombastic Jewish pro-Israel politician building power within the America First right. jewishcurrents.org/the-book-of-ra…

For Jewish Currents, I look at how The Zone of Interest resituates the Holocaust in colonial history to infuse it with moral relevance for the modern day

For Jewish Currents, Jonathan Shamir shows how Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest disrupts Holocaust cinema's tendency to remove the Shoah from history, indicting the present by subtly situating the Nazi genocide in its specifically colonial context. jewishcurrents.org/the-hosses-col…
