What’s happening on America’s streets, campuses, and social media feeds didn’t come out of nowhere. We’re joined by Uri Kaufman, author of American Intifada, to unpack how radical ideologies, activist networks, and foreign narratives have taken root inside Western institutions — and why the explosion of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment is only the surface of a much deeper crisis. Uri's fast and ferocious so consider listening at half speed. This is a conversation about power, propaganda, and the battle for the soul of the West — and why ignoring it is no longer an option.

American Intifada: Israel, the Gaza War and the New Antisemitism — his latest deep dive into the ideological battles shaping Western discourse around Israel.
