Are we witnessing the "high tide” of American antisemitism? Professor, writer, and American Jewish historian Pamela Nadell says the explosion of vitriol post-October 7th is built on decades of rhetoric targeting Jews as settlers, colonialists, and racists—and is at the heart of conspiracy theories since the first century.

Professor Nadell traces past echoes in current protests, in Episode 3 of Dialogue for Change, with host Hari Sreenivasan.

About the Series:

Exploring Hate’s new 5-part series, Dialogue for Change, hosted by Hari Sreenivasan, invites viewers to listen harder, dig deeper, and break the box in the contentious Israel/Hamas narrative gripping the world since Oct 7th.

Hari Sreenivasan—host of PBS Take on Fake and contributor to Amanpour & Company—leads in-depth discussions with distinct voices from Gaza, Israel, and the U.S., each speaking from their personal experiences of war zone loss, attacks on democracy, eyewitness reporting, global history, and dual/dueling faiths. Listen in as each guest takes a stand on fighting entrenchment and finding common ground.
