Antisemitism—What? Why? Who? | The Roots of Hatred and the Fight for Reason
Antisemitism is back in the mainstream—from campus mobs to conservative media—and few dare to ask why.
In this episode, Dr. Yaron Brook dives deep into the history, psychology, and moral roots of antisemitism—from early Christianity to today’s nationalist and collectivist movements. Why does this ancient hatred persist? What ideas fuel it? And what does its resurgence tell us about the collapse of reason and the Enlightenment?
đź’¬ Featuring 40+ live audience questions on antisemitism, capitalism, nationalism, and the future of reason.
