Leon Wieseltier

Leon Wieseltier, founder of Liberties, joins Eli to examine the alignment of intellectuals with violent movements and the influence of Frantz Fanon. They discuss perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, justifications for violence throughout history, the paradox of God's actions, the origins of politics and dehumanization, language critique of Zionism, the danger of new ideas, rational and irrational grievances, and the decline of moral authority in university presidents.
