Natan Sharansky - Antisemitism Is A Progressive Problem

What does a man learn about human nature, human evil, totalitarianism, and God in Russia’s most brutal prison labor camps? Could it help one predict the precipitous rise of antisemitism across the world? Natan Sharanksy saw it all coming.

Natan's life sits at the nexus of progressive antisemitism and Soviet totalitarianism. Nine years in the gulag on trumped-up charges, but in large part owing to his attempted immigration to Israel. When finally free, Sharansky served Israel in politics, including as Deputy Prime Minister.

I spoke with him in Jerusalem to discuss the ongoing Israel-Hamas Conflict, the power of left-wing antisemitism, the triumph of neo-marxism in the West, and, of course, his time in the gulag. 

Sharansky is a national treasure in Israel. He gives valuable context to the October 7th Massacre, why it is different from all pogroms in history, and what it portends for the future.
