"Zionism is racism." With the British Green Party embracing this slogan, has a once-discredited accusation against the Jewish state become a respectable political position? And what happens when condemning Israel becomes not merely acceptable, but a way of demonstrating moral virtue?
Rabbis Simi Lerner and Yitzchok Adlerstein explore the changing face of antisemitism, why anti-Israel sentiment has become a source of moral purpose in the West, and how the language of oppression and victimhood has taken on an almost religious significance.
Is the West replacing traditional religion with a new secular faith? Could growing hostility toward Israel actually strengthen Jewish resolve? And as support for Israel weakens among younger evangelical Christians, where will the Jewish state's future allies come from?
A provocative conversation about antisemitism, moral certainty, religion, and the increasingly precarious place of Israel in the Western imagination.
