One of a Kind Wisdom: Ruth Wisse and Douglas Murray on the Meaning of Anti-Semitism and Civilization
No one understands anti-Semitism like Ruth Wisse and Douglas Murray
This is one of the most important conversations you will ever see about the nature of anti-Semitism and the existential threat it poses to civilization itself.
In this discussion broadcast on Zoom by the Tikvah Fund not 24 hours after a communist pro-jihad terrorist murdered Israeli embassy workers Yarón Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, Ruth Wisse and Douglas Murray unpack the meaning that this event has for world Jewry.
Anti-Semitism is only about Jews in a symbolic sense, they say; instead, it is about the evil within the Jew-haters. It is an excuse to destroy, not to build; to personify a neurosis, not to treat it — in Wisse’s words, the “politics of avoiding responsibility.”
No one has ever expressed this better. Please watch.
