THE DEFINITIVE RAP: Antisemitism On The Rise Interview With Professor Jeffrey Lax

There are billions of people living on this earth. Let’s imagine what the world would look like if everyone would just love and respect one another. But, that can’t seem to be accomplished. We have racism. We have antisemitism. And we have the media supporting it. We have high profile celebrities supporting it. From MSNBC’s Medhi Hasan who held a panel with Anti-Zionist MSNBC commentator Peter Beinart where Peter accused Israel of being an ethnostate that privileges Jews over Palestine to Kanye West, spreading hate. Not only is the issue of antisemitism not getting better, but it is getting worse. Baila Sebrow producer and host of The Definitive Rap interviewed Professor Jeffrey Lax, an attorney, professor and department chair at CUNY, who discussed this issue at great length.  Jeffrey agreed that it’s beginning to feel like antisemites are trying to beat each other out on the title of “Antisemite of the Year, and how it has been normalized, and mainstreamed.   He talked about the ring leaders of antisemitism in the United States, and who is tolerating the Left.  He said that CNN is being criticized for covering up the rise of antisemitism, while whitewashing left-wing antisemitism and anti-Jewish attacks by other minority groups, and why they are getting away with it.  Jeffrey openly discussed how as professor at a public university, he is being treated by his non Jewish superiors and other colleagues, and what it’s like for others Jewish professors and students.  The interview concluded with Jeffrey criticizing a group that is supposed to be fighting antisemitism, saying that they are more concerned about politics.  *WATCH THIS INTERVIEW    This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
