Bret Stephens on “worse than useless” antisemitism fight & Benjamin clashes with ex-top AP man

Описание: In Episode 4 of Opinionated with Benjamin Anthony, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens delivers a stark warning about the future of Jewish life in America: the traditional fight against antisemitism isn’t working — and Jewish communities must shift from victimhood to strength, identity, and institution-building.

Benjamin and Bret examine the explosion of Jew-hatred after October 7, the failure of legacy organisations, the crisis on US campuses, and why Jewish pride — not public relations — is the path forward.

In the second half, former AP regional editor Dan Perry joins the studio for a hard-hitting debate on Gaza’s future, the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and Israel’s strategic options after the war.

The episode closes with Benjamin Anthony’s monologue on the direct link between Israel’s battlefield victory and the safety of Jewish communities worldwide.

If you care about Israel, antisemitism, Jewish identity, and the future of the diaspora, this is essential viewing.
