As Britain grapples with mass protests, policing failures, and rising antisemitism, where does free speech end—and incitement begin?

In this episode of J100, British journalist and Algemeiner contributor Jonathan Sacerdoti joins the show to examine how Western societies are responding to extremism in real time. From the collapse of debate at the Oxford Union to the everyday security realities facing Jews in the UK, this conversation explores protest culture, media responsibility, and the moral clarity liberal democracies need to defend themselves.
