Episode notes
Misinformation Fuels 'Zionist' Insults
- Anti-Zionist hate often stems from misinformation about Zionism rather than true anti-Semitism.
- Many people view Zionism as a racist ideology equated with Nazis, not understanding its true meaning.
Algorithms Create Segregated Realities
- Social media algorithms create isolated realities, erasing Jewish pain from many users' feeds.
- This leads to misunderstandings between communities who are unaware of each other's struggles.
Actively Educate and Engage Publicly
- Invest in Jewish education and academia to combat anti-Israel misinformation long-term.
- Participate actively in school boards and public discourse to protect Jewish identity and history.
