Jay Shapiro

Jay Shapiro is a filmmaker, writer, and podcast host whose work examines ethical, political, and social questions through documentary storytelling and long‑form public commentary. He produces What Jay Thinks and The Palestine Collection, where he reflects on Jewish identity, moral responsibility, and the historical and contemporary realities of Israel and Palestine. His public dissent is grounded in personal reflection, direct engagement with Palestinian voices, and a sustained critique of Zionism as a political ideology. Through essays, interviews, and video commentary, he situates his perspective within broader patterns of Jewish anti‑Zionist thought, drawing on historical memory, ethical philosophy, and contemporary human rights discourse.
