This Thursday is the four-year anniversary of the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue, where 11 Jews were murdered while they prayed on Saturday morning in Pittsburgh. So it runs a gamut. And so one of the things you and I have been talking about online as being one of, that's the one thing we've talked about a lot. But before he gets to that, I want to talk, obviously, about Kanye West. His very public person, very famous person, is anti-Semitism, has a big impact. Can you speak to the rallying behind him since? Have you spoken to him?"
Today, we’re sharing a bonus episode of Kara’s Twitter Spaces conversation recorded on Monday night. In the first part of the conversation, Kara talks to Jonathan Freedland, a British journalist and columnist for The Guardian, about the fall of Liz Truss, the rise of Rishi Sunak and the role of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire in U.K. politics.
In the second part of the episode, Kara and Freedland are joined by yet another Jonathan: Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League. The trio discusses the rise of populism and hate speech today. They cover Kanye West’s antisemitic remarks on social media and discuss Freedland’s — aka British Jonathan’s — new book, “The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World.”
