S2E5: Right-Wing Antisemitism in America

In this episode, I spoke with Jon Lewis, a Research Fellow at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University. Jon specializes in domestic terrorism, mainly focusing on the evolution of white supremacist and anti-government movements in the United States and the federal responses to these threats. Our discussion centered on the alarming rise of antisemitism within right-wing movements in the U.S. and the significant challenges faced in effectively combating this growing menace.

Hosted by Dr. Omar Mohammed, "36 Minutes on Antisemitism" is an interactive bi-monthly podcast that explores the contemporary dynamics of antisemitism across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. This series engages with practitioners, policymakers, and scholars dedicated to studying and combating antisemitism. Through a free-of-edit format, the podcast allows guest speakers to elaborate on the latest trends and insights in antisemitism, fostering a deep and nuanced understanding of its manifestations and challenges. Each 36-minute episode aims to enlighten listeners on the complexities of antisemitism, promoting informed dialogue and action. Join us monthly for an essential exploration of the current state of antisemitism as we seek to contribute to a more informed and equitable global discourse.
