antisemitism

Dara Horn, author of “People Love Dead Jews,” discussed how people often prefer to talk about historical antisemitism, or dead Jews, over contemporary antisemitism. She argued that it is because others feel more comfortable when Jews have erased parts of their identity or are powerless.

Activist Eric Ward spoke about the intersections of antisemitism and other types of bigotry, emphasizing that antisemitic tactics are often weaponized against other minorities.
