Dr. Shany Mor – Antisemitism is a sophisticated ideology, and it's thrilling to people

<p>In this conversation, Dr. Shany Mor and I discuss the complexities of antisemitism. Dr. Mor argues that it is not merely a form of racism, but rather a sophisticated ideology rooted in conspiracy theories. </p><p><br></p><p>We explore the historical context of antisemitism, its manifestations in contemporary society, and the paradoxical nature of anti-Jewish sentiments. Dr. Mor emphasizes the need for a nuanced understanding of antisemitism, particularly in light of recent events, and advocates for active resistance against such rhetoric and ideologies.</p><p><br></p><p>Dr. Shany Mor is a political theorist, policy analyst, and one of the sharper writers on Israel, democracy, and foreign policy working in English today.</p><p><br></p><p>He teaches political theory at Reichman University and is a senior researcher at BICOM. Before that, he was not only in the seminar room. He served as Director for Foreign Policy on Israel’s National Security Council and headed the diplomatic desk in the Prime Minister’s Office situation room. He earned his doctorate in politics and international relations at Oxford, and has taught at Columbia, Brown, Sciences Po, and elsewhere.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p>00:00 Introduction to Dr. Shany Mor</p><p>01:11 Understanding Antisemitism as an Ideology</p><p>05:10 The Complexity </p><p>08:51 Racism vs. Anti-Semitism: A Distinction</p><p>11:58 The Paradox of Sentiments</p><p>14:33 The Social Dynamics</p><p>16:59 The Horseshoe Phenomenon: Far Left and Far Right</p><p>19:37 Historical Roots</p><p>22:49 The Burden of the Holocaust</p><p>25:42 The Role of Hamas and Current Conflicts</p><p>28:36 The Obsession with Israel</p><p>30:25 The Escalation of Anti-Semitism Post-October 7th</p><p>33:46 Strategies for combat</p><p>36:40 Personal Reflections</p><p>39:12 The Future of Jewish Communities in the Diaspora</p><p>43:37 Recognizing Patterns</p><p>46:13 Practical Steps</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>***</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>► Skaff deg boken min: Frykt og Stillhet - jødiske stemmer i Norge etter 7. oktober.
