Dara Horn - Why We Need More Courage, Not Knowledge

<p>Dara Horn, by her own admission, hates arguing with people. So how did the author of *People Love Dead Jews* become one of the sharpest, most fearless voices confronting antisemitism today? Necessity, mostly. And a refusal to keep pretending.</p><p><br></p><p>In her return to the show, Dara unpacks her new book, *The Final Solution to the Jewish Question: A Love Story For The Living*, and makes a case that&#39;ll stick with you: antisemitism isn&#39;t a bias, it&#39;s a lie — and the lie is always the same. Plus, why the anti-Israel movement is a &quot;bag of hot air&quot; with three words of substance behind it, and the data-poisoning plot she was handed in private.</p><p><br></p><p>Buy Dara&#39;s new book everywhere books are sold and check out her work at www.darahorn.com</p><p>Support our work: buymeacoffee.com/peoplejewwannaknow</p><p>This episode was brought to you in partnership with the Center for Jewish History</p><p><br></p><p>What We Discuss:</p><p>00:00 Intro &amp; Episode Agenda</p><p>04:00 Courage over knowledge, and whether we can expect heroism</p><p>12:00 The Gentleman&#39;s Agreement and the price of passing</p><p>21:00 Standing up to an organized hate movement</p><p>28:00 Antisemitism as a lie, not a bias</p><p>37:00 Jewish civilization as a 3,000-year anti-tyranny movement</p><p>44:00 The Wikipedia and Reddit data-poisoning plot</p><p>50:00 Her son, the gaming Discord, and cowardice at Harvard</p><p>56:00 The collapse of the humanities and the lost art of argument</p><p>58:30 Closing Remarks &amp; Guest Nomination</p>
