Episode 64 - The Good, The Bad, and The Antisemitic …With Special Guest Dr. Linda Maizels
It’s been almost a year since the attack on Israel on October 7. Since that time, it hasn’t just been the war that has taken over the news. It feels like there has been such a strong increase of antisemitism locally and around the world. We discuss centuries worth of antisemitism, we ask why it seems so acceptable today, and we try to find hope for the future. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of nerdy stuff, too. After all, we are talking about the struggle between good versus evil.
00:02:32 The rise of antisemitism
00:05:44 Do superheroes attract supervillains? Or the other way around?
00:06:06 Gotham’s evil increases after Batman shows up
00:11:44 Antisemitism turns the Jew into the scapegoat
00:15:04 Does support increase only because the attacks are increasing?
00:18:55 Antisemitism is feeling more acceptable, for some reason
00:21:30 Do you share similar hope from the X-Men ‘97 series?
00:25:28 Having difficult conversations with opposing opinions
00:30:40 Got Hope?
00:37:02 The resident pessimist mitigates hate through empathy
00:39:11 Captain Benjamin Sisco and Gul Dukat
00:44:25 Time to mention to MCU
