Description
"Jews are white." "Israel is an apartheid state."
Hearing these inflammatory comments can be distressing but understanding the root ideology behind these assertions is the only way to truly fight back against it. David Bernstein, the Founder of the Jewish Institute for Liberal Values and author of Woke Antisemitism: How a Progressive Ideology Harms Jews is a self-described liberal who is fighting back against antisemitism on the political Left by informing everyday people on the convoluted ideology that drives undue hatred towards Israel and race-based attacks on Jews as oppressors. We discussed whether the political Left is no longer upholding classical liberal values, if canceling those who espouse antisemitic views is productive, how Critical Race Theory drives Left-Wing antisemitism, why the seemingly virtuous value of "equity" is really destructive, and more.
