Why American Jews No Longer Understand One Another

The podcast delves into the fracturing consensus within American Jewry regarding Israel, Zionism, and antisemitism, highlighting the generational divide and differing perspectives on Israel's actions and its impact on Jewish identity and safety. It examines the rise of anti-Zionism, particularly among younger Jews, and its connection to liberal values, while also addressing concerns about rising antisemitism and its relationship to criticism of Israel. The discussion features various voices, including politicians, rabbis, activists, and scholars, who offer differing views on the complex relationship between Israel, Jewish identity, and the rise of antisemitism, ultimately questioning whether supporting Israel's right to exist is compatible with liberal values and the safety of Jews in the diaspora.
