This is the podcast version of my recent essay. It’s a response—albeit a delayed one—to the hideous evil perpetrated on October 7 last year, and the pitiful spectacle of a warped, callous wave of Jew hatred sweeping college campuses: the rot starting at the pinnacle of the Ivy League, Harvard. The capture of the academies is where the corruption begins. It’s where it always begins. And suddenly, on cue, let’s hate the Jews.
WARNING/DISCLAIMER: THIS PODCAST DEALS WITH STRONG THEMES OF ANTISEMITISM AND RACE, AS WELL AS VIOLENCE AND OTHER POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING SUBJECTS. IT INCLUDES STRONG OPINIONS AND SOME STRONG LANGUAGE. ALL VIEWS ARE MY OWN.
This is a very strong piece and expresses some strong views and admonishments, and strong language. I’m telling it like it is here, and I think it’s time. The issuing of the Letter To The Motion Picture Academy On Its Diversity Requirements by a powerful list of signatories and the JITC has opened what should be a mainstream conversation, at last—not just about the discrimination of Jews explicitly by the DEI industrial complex, but DEI itself, which has to be questioned, and should be dismantled. But more than that—it’s time for the adults to act like adults. Some people need to hear some history, they need to learn some manners, and they need to be put in their place. There’s too much at stake this year. When they start coming for the Jews… I’ll let brilliant Bari Weiss finish the rest.
When antisemitism moves from the shameful fringe into the public square, it is not about Jews. It is never about Jews. It is about everyone else. It is about the surrounding society or the culture or the country. It is an early warning system—a sign that the society itself is breaking down. That it is dying.
—Bari Weiss, to the Federalist Society
