ReImagining Liberty 097: The Right's Mainstreaming of Antisemitism (w/ Elad Nehorai)
Jan 19, 2026
Elad Nehorai, writer and activist known for founding Justice Marketing, joins the conversation to dissect the rise of antisemitism on the contemporary right. He explores how networks like X are amplifying extremist views, including the controversial figure Nick Fuentes, and how such hate is increasingly normalized in political discourse. Nehorai also addresses the troubling coordination between mainstream and fringe actors and suggests that building cross-ideological solidarity could offer a path forward against the tide of extremism.
