In a discussion with Eylon Levy, Harvard graduate and Jewish advocate Shabbos Kestenbaum critiques the "Free Palestine" movement, arguing that it offers a sense of belonging largely through its use of slogans, stickers, and symbolic clothing like keffiyehs. Kestenbaum suggests that followers of the movement are often swayed by emotional appeals and group identity rather than factual analysis of the geopolitical situation. The conversation touches on the broader implications of such movements in shaping political and social perspectives, particularly in academic settings.
