‘Vicious and unhinged': Inside the Oxford Union debate on Israel

“The Quad,” Ep. 47

British journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti joins “The Quad” to talk about the aggression and vitriol he experienced at the Oxford Union debate on Nov. 28 about whether or not Israel is an “apartheid” state.

Sacerdoti discusses with “The Quad” hosts Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll what this says about academia and the state of public discourse regarding the Jewish state.

They also discuss the fall of the Bashar Assad regime in Syria and whether or not the world is waking up to the fact that Israel is not the bad actor in the region, and more concerning are its volatile neighbors.
