From Westboro Church to Hollywood – Hate. Twitter. Love. How? (Episode 13)

 

From an online raging twitter battle to the red carpets of Hollywood, check out this week’s Mideast Beast Podcast with David Abitbol, a Jewish blogger whose tweets went from fighting with Megan Phelps-Roper, the granddaughter of the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church, to real life friendship and now the big screen. How did Abitbol change her mind 140 characters at a time? And does he have the simple social media answer to Mideast Peace? (Probably not, but now you have to listen to find out.) Host Molly Livingstone goes to Abitbol’s house and goes deep (that’s what she said).
