Unpacking Antisemitism with Haviv Rettig Gur
Description
(Note: this episode was recorded before Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primary of the NYC mayoral election.)
Journalist and historian Haviv Rettig Gur returns to Wondering Jews to explore why antisemitism persists across centuries —from medieval Europe to modern American campuses. Together, Haviv, Mijal and Noam unpack how conspiracy theories, religion, and political ideologies fuel hatred of Jews, why Zionism emerged as a response, and what American Jews can learn from history.
Wondering Jews is hosted by Mijal Bitton and Noam Weissman.
Here is Mijal's article in the Free Press: Things Worth Remembering: The Freedom to Be Different.
