Episode 100: The UN, Society, and Antisemitism with Dr. Susanne Seperson and Guest Assemblyman Chuck Lavine (Part 2) | hmTv
In this powerful milestone episode, Dr. Susanne Seperson continues her conversation with New York State Assemblyman Charles Lavine to explore the deepening crisis of antisemitism in education, politics, and public discourse. From the failures of Holocaust education to the politicization of hate, this dialogue tackles the uncomfortable truths about our nation’s readiness to confront bigotry in all its forms.
Assemblyman Lavine reflects on the erosion of civil discourse, the growing theocratic undercurrents in American governance, and the rising tide of antisemitism on college campuses. He shares personal stories, legislative efforts, and insights into the complex relationship between American Jews and the State of Israel—especially in the wake of the October 7th attacks.
With candor and conviction, Dr. Seperson and Assemblyman Lavine address:
- The gaps in mandated Holocaust education and its impact on youth
- How economic instability fuels hatred and division
- Why safeguarding secular democracy is critical to fighting antisemitism
- The weaponization of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on U.S. campuses
- The responsibility of parents, educators, and leaders in shaping moral citizens
This conversation is a compelling reminder that combating antisemitism isn't just a Jewish issue—it's a test of our democracy and humanity.
