Antisemitism is ancient. Antisemitism is modern. And lately, it's been on the rise. The Anti-Defamation League found 3,700 instances of antisemitic harassment, vandalism, or assault around the country last year, the highest number in its 43 years of tracking.
"Antisemitism is the oldest form of hate and discrimination that is still being practiced today," says Israeli-American actor and activist Noa Tishby, who served as Israel’s Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism before Prime Minister Netanyahu dismissed her for speaking out against his controversial judicial reform agenda. "What's happening is that it's so prevalent, it's so pervasive, it's everywhere in our society, but for some reason people don't give it as much attention."
Tishby joins Ian Bremmer on GZERO World for a wide-ranging discussion about the startling rise in anti-Jewish sentiment today. And nowhere, Tishby says, is antisemitism more prevalent in modern culture than on social media. "I do believe that to some extent, the Jews and Israel are patient zero with this."
