2023: It Was a Year, and We Have Thoughts

In the final episode of 2023, Oren Segal and Jessica Reaves look back at some of the developments in hate and extremism we wish would end along with the year (but almost certainly will not), including extremists harassing city council meetings, a months-long swatting spree targeting synagogues and other religious institutions and finally the massive post-October 7 spike in antisemitic incidents.

We also welcome a couple of special guests -- longtime COE colleagues whose expertise and research are at the heart of everything we do.
