‘Top Story,’ Ep. 20: Bethany Mandel: ‘Anti-Semitism Is Last Hatred Allowed in Polite Society’

The “Grandma Killer” journalist discusses the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on children, anti-Semitism and the way woke ideology is undermining respect for women.

Journalist and social-media influencer Bethany Mandel joins JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan S. Tobin to discuss the way those pushing restrictive pandemic policies have disregarded their impact on children; vaccine mandates; how social-media distorts the discussion about anti-Semitism; why Israel is constantly singled out; and the way women’s rights continue to be trashed by left-wing activists.

“Top Story” also airs on JBS-TV.
