In conversation with Reverend Naomi Washington-Leapheart, authors Ben Lorber and Shane Burley discuss insights from their new book, Safety through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism.
Despite the white-washing of Elon Musk's Nazi salute by mainstream media and the Anti-Defamation League, antisemitism remains baked into the MAGA agenda of White and Christian nationalism, conspiracism, division, and fear. Since October 7, accusations of antisemitism have been increasingly used by the authoritarian Right to silence the Palestine solidarity movement and further a neo-McCarthyist crusade. None of this is new, but as the new administration uses real and weaponized antisemitism to advance its repressive agenda, the stakes are higher than ever.
How do we fight antisemitism through a politics of solidarity and collective liberation? This wide-ranging conversation will help us break the current impasse to understand how antisemitism works, what’s missing in mainstream narratives, and how to build true safety through solidarity, for Jews and all people.
