Uri Kaufman is the author of American Intifada: Israel, the Gaza War and the New Antisemitism. He joins host Sean Speer to explain how a cognitive dissidence is to blame for today’s ideological revolt against the moral foundations of the West. And while elite institutions and protesting students are getting much of the blame for the anti-Israel sentiment sweeping across America, Uri argues that young people - though figures of ridicule - are not the danger. The real problem is serious people and serious institutions changing facts to suit their progressive narrative and giving rise to a new form of antisemitism paved with the best of intentions.

The Hub Dialogues features The Hub's editor-at-large, Sean Speer, in conversation with leading entrepreneurs, policymakers, scholars, and thinkers on the issues and challenges that will shape Canada's future at home and abroad.
