Episode notes
Younger Online Right Is Vulnerable
- Antisemitism on the right has risen and is concentrated among younger, online conservatives exposed to constant hostile messaging.
- Exposure doesn't make everyone an antisemite, but it normalizes questions and doubts about Jews and Zionism.
Theological Rebellion Fuels New Risks
- The under-45 Republican cohort is rebelling against older evangelical dispensationalism and seeking a different, 'resourcement' Christianity.
- That search for older sources can unintentionally revive anti-Jewish interpretations without careful guidance.
Educational Trips Changed Minds
- Hazony recounts organizing trips to introduce young nationalists to religious and nationalist Jews and found many are open to learning.
- He treats education and exposure as more effective than public shaming in changing views.
