Antisemitism in 2022:
From Conspiracy Theories to Cancel Culture with Dr. Michael Berenbaum
Recommendation
In this video presentation for the Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach, Holocaust scholar Dr. Michael Berenbaum discusses modern-day anti-Semitism in America and abroad. He explains the various sources of anti-Semitism and goes into its goals. He finds that anti-Semitism has a bigger megaphone than ever because of the internet and the wild conspiracy theories it continues to circulate. While Berenbaum finds some indications that anti-Semitism is declining, he explains that any decrease in American hegemony leads to a real fear that instability will put Jewish populations at risk. The war in Ukraine, he says, is a case in point. [Note: This 2022 presentation pre-dates the Hamas-Israel war, so it is not reflected in Dr. Berenbaum’s lecture.]
