In this episode we talk about how antisemitism isn’t only found where many people assume it is — and why some areas of research have become professionally risky to pursue.

SPONSORS:

Daniel explains what he’s found in survey data on antisemitic attitudes in the UK, why certain extremist threats receive far more attention (and funding) than others, and how academia and the NGO world can create strong incentives to avoid politically dangerous topics.

We also discuss Islamist ideology, the historical links between Islamism and 20th century European fascism, the rise of anti-blasphemy activism in Britain, and how institutions can end up tiptoeing around threats of intimidation and violence.

Finally, we talk about national identity, integration, and why “community leaders” and separatism can push Britain toward a kind of soft balkanisation — and why mainstream politics has struggled to deal with it.
