Summary
In this episode, researcher and author Ben Lorber unpacks the complex, deeply polarized conversations surrounding anti-Jewish bigotry today. We break down why politicians conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism, how to distinguish principled criticism of Israel from genuine hate speech, and whether ADL data gives us an accurate picture of the crisis. Finally, Ben shares a roadmap for building safety through intersectional solidarity, offering crucial advice for activists fighting for Palestinian liberation.Ben Lorber is a Senior Research Analyst at Political Research Associates and the co-author of *Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide for Fighting Antisemitism*. https://www.amazon.com/Safety-through-Solidarity-Fighting-Antisemitism/dp/1685890911A veteran movement organizer and writer, he specializes in monitoring far-right movements, antisemitism, and white Christian nationalism.*SHOW NOTES*See Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism here: https://jerusalemdeclaration.org/*SUPPORT*Support our work at Across the Divide: https://www.patreon.com/AcrosstheDivideFollow Across the Divide for more on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/acrossthedividepodcast/?hl=en
