About This Podcast

Beginning with a deceptively simple question - why are the Abraham Accords named after Abraham? – this series is a whirlwind tour of geopolitics, theology, pop culture, and anthropological theory that picks up on old Abe as both a universal symbol and the ancestor of two peoples: the Arabs and the Jews. As we’ll see, cousins can be pretty bad.


Published by Kollo Media in partnership with The Diasporist.

Produced by Ben Schuman-Stoler, Matan Kaminer, and LABA fellow Guli Hashiloni.

Music and theme by Adam Maor.
