Overbroad Antisemitism Definitions Discipline the Jewish Diaspora / Lihi Yona & Itamar Mann

Pr sident joe biden m des med premierminister benjamin netanyahu

Israel is supposed to be keeping Jews safe. It was established to protect Jews fleeing from the Holocaust and persecution in Europe and in the Middle East to some extent as well. Today, I think that it's also fair to say that Israel is putting many of us Jews in the world and specifically Jews in the state of Israel in a significant level of risk because of its completely irresponsible and frankly criminal policies in Gaza…The policies that we are in the name of both of us, but I reject them on the most fundamental level. These new definitions are questioning my right to do so.

Lihi Yona and Itamar Mann join us to discuss their recent UCLA Law Review piece, "Defending Jews From the Definition of Antisemitism." A special 10th anniversary installment of "This Week in Rotten History" from Renaldo Migaldi follows the interview.
