Andrew Feinstein: 我认为反犹太主义是一种仇恨犹太人本身的种族主义行为。它在英国有所抬头，部分原因是政治右倾和种族主义政客的主流化。将反犹太复国主义等同于反犹太主义是危险的，因为许多犹太人是反犹太复国主义者。以色列与一些持有反犹太主义立场的政客关系密切，这加剧了反犹太主义。媒体未能充分履行其职责，反而助长了政治中的极端主义言论。最近，一些名人公开展示反犹太主义态度，对社会造成了严重影响。我们需要将反犹太主义与政治区分开来，因为它是一个超越政治的人道主义问题。反犹太主义的武器化对犹太人来说非常危险。 Alex Kane: 美国反犹太主义正在加剧，特朗普的崛起和2017年的夏洛茨维尔事件是重要转折点。以色列的军事行动也导致反犹太主义事件激增。美国反诽谤联盟的数据存在问题，因为它将反犹太复国主义言论归类为反犹太主义。美国对以色列的支持有许多原因，包括政治、宗教和经济因素。许多美国犹太人将对以色列的批评视为对犹太人的攻击，但也有许多犹太人对此持不同意见。 Mathilda Mallinson: 本期节目探讨了反犹太主义的加剧，以及极右翼的兴起和巴以冲突如何加剧了这一问题。我们还讨论了媒体在报道反犹太主义事件中的失误，以及一些名人公开展示反犹太主义态度的影响。 Helena Wadia: 我们分析了反犹太主义和反犹太复国主义之间的区别，以及如何将反犹太主义武器化用于政治目的。我们还讨论了在英国和美国的反犹太主义的具体表现形式，以及如何应对这一日益严重的问题。

Shownotes Transcript

Between the rise of the far-right and Israel’s ongoing warfare, today’s world is a feeding frenzy for antisemitism, and many Jewish people are afraid of prejudice and attack.

But as many provocateurs turn antisemitism into a political weapon, the root causes of racism are being overlooked and enabled. All the while, the mainstream media has become a weapon of mass destruction in the war of words - often failing to spotlight the biggest drivers of hate.

Is it possible to be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic? What does Israel’s war mean for Jewish protection worldwide? Are Elon Musk and Kanye West’s competing for the most “Nazi swag”? These are all questions we’ll put to our guests - Anthony Feinstein, son of a Holocaust survivor and former comrade of Nelson Mandela in the war against Apartheid, white supremacy and antisemitism in South Africa. And Alex Kane, senior reporter at the historic, post-Nazi Jewish Currents in the US.
