Weaponizing Identity Politics to Demonize Israel and Jews | With David Christopher Kaufman

What happens when the very system built to protect minorities leaves Jews out entirely - and then gets turned against them?David Christopher Kaufman is a journalist, a Black man, and a Jew. That combination gives him a lens on American identity politics that almost no one else has. In this conversation, he argues that October 7th didn't just expose antisemitism - it exposed the structural failure of the DEI framework to account for Jews at all. The result: Jews now have the highest hate crime rate of any group in America, and yet they're the only minority expected to argue for their own victimhood before anyone will believe them.We talk about Zohran Mamdani's rise and what it tells us about where the DSA and the progressive left are actually headed. We talk about the word "Zio" - which Kaufman says hit him the same way the N-word does. And we talk about why he believes Jewish safety is the defining civil rights issue of this moment - and why American Jewish leadership is failing to say so out loud.David Christopher Kaufman is opinion editor at the Daily Mail, former editor at the New York Post, and author of the Substack Counterintuitive.Follow David: davidkaufman.substack.com---HonestReporting is a media watchdog holding the press accountable on Israel coverage.Website: honestreporting.comYouTube: youtube.com/@honestreportingvideo
