Setting the Record Straight on Israel & Antisemitism with Dylan Escoll
Description
Dylan Escoll is a Jewish American man who fights against antisemitism and discrimination in all its forms. He works closely with the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in support of philanthropic initiatives that both provide education on Jewish issues and help with the fight against antisemitism. Additionally, while Dylan has family in Israel, his immediate family in the U.S. works on the front lines of normalizing relations between Israel and other Arab nations.
Ashley invites her friend, Dylan Escoll, to discuss the current conflict between Israel and Palestine. Americans have taken to social media to show support for either side. The issue is that few understand the history and nuance behind both Israel and the current conflict. Misinformation has been widespread within the last few weeks so Dylan and Ashley aim to set the record straight. The two discuss the history of Israel, the truth about the current situation, the rise of antisemitism, social media misinformation, and more.
