Abby Brody helped build a school—and then watched it turn on her son. What does it mean to become a refugee in your own city?

We love simple villains. In the 1940s it was Charles Lindbergh; in 2026, it’s Israel and ‘the Jews.’ In this episode of TheJewFunction, Dr. Jonathan Reich—cardiologist, aerospace engineer, and author of A Convenient Villain—shows how America turned Lindbergh into the antisemitic bad guy and quietly let the system that blocked Jewish refugees off the hook. "A convenient villain": https://a.co/d/06HhgVomW: aconvenientvillain.com-- --WHAT IS THEJEWFUNCTION - A 10min EXPLANATIONhttps://youtu.be/5TlUt5FqVgQLISTEN TO THE MYSTERY BOOK PODCAST SERIES:https://tinyurl.com/y7tmfpesSETH'S BOOK:https://www.antidotetoantisemitism.com/FREE AUDIOBOOK (With Audible trial) OF THE JEWISH CHOICE - UNITY OR ANTISEMITISM:https://amzn.to/3u40evCLIKE/SHARE/SUBSCRIBEFollow us on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/Tiktok @thejewfunctionNEW: SUPPORT US ON PATREONpatreon.com/thejewfunction
