Fighting for Israel in an age of identity politics

“The Quad,” Ep. 13

This week “The Quad” talks about how Israel’s war to eradicate Hamas is straining black/Jewish relations in the United States. The war has led to an increase in antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment both in society at large and in the black community in particular. Where is this stemming from? What can be done to repair relations between the two minorities?

They interview Xavier Derousseau from Prager U, who talks about his journey from an anti-Israel Black Lives Matter activist to a supporter of the Jewish state. They also discuss the defunding of UNRWA and the decision by the International Court of Justice that did not demand that Israel halt its operations in the Gaza Strip against the Hamas terrorist organization but asked Jerusalem to make efforts to prevent genocide. What’s next, and does it really matter?

And, of course, they announce the Scumbags and Heroes of the Week!
