Israel: State of a Nation

Student radicals protesting on campuses around the world, Israel condemned for everything that’s wrong with the world. I hope you’re having deja-vu. The massive anti-Israel protest movement didn’t come out of nowhere, and its accusations against the Jewish state are nothing new. They have deep roots. And for that, we have to go back to Soviet Russia, to see how the USSR planted the seeds of the ideological movement that has captured Western campuses and is weaponizing them against the Jews.
Izabella Tabarovsky is a Senior Program Associate at the Kennan Institute of the Wilson Center and a contributing writer at Tablet Magazine. She’s one of the world’s leading experts on Soviet anti-Zionism, contemporary left-wing anti-Semitism, and what connects them.
Izabella takes us through the history of ideas that has led to where we find ourselves today. She shows us that nothing being presented by today’s cosplaying student radicals in the global Tentifada are new or fresh. Rather, they link back to a lengthy history of anti-semitic tropes that have served the interests of Israel’s staunchest and most powerful enemies throughout time.
