On Anti-Semitism - A Conversation With Batya Ungar-Sargon

Anti-Semitism is the kind of bigotry that doesn't always seem clear-cut. But it's there and it is ugly as racism. The issue goes deep because Jewish people are sometimes defined by their religion. At other times, defined by race. And finally, defined by ethnicity. Batya Ungar-Sargon knows all about the ugliness of anti-Semitism and takes a deep dive into the issue, discussing the bigotry as well as what it means to be Jewish, how anti-Semitism impacts Israel and how politicians manage to get away with anti-Semitism in a way they couldn't with other examples of bigotry. Batya is the Deputy Opinion Editor of Newsweek and is also the author of the book Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy.
