War of the Words: Antisemitism and Islamophobia

Dr. Carole's Couch

In 21st century America, one wouldn't think it was necessary to pronounce that Antisemitism and Islamophobia are wrong-it should be a given. But, the way some Congresswomen (notably Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib) have been spouting Antisemitic remarks with little condemnation from their peers, apparently there does need to be a reminder that this is wrong. A sign this fever is spinning out of control is the recent attack of Chelsea Clinton by NYU Students for Justice in Palestine, who outrageously blamed her for the New Zealand terror attack just because she had spoken out against Antisemitism. Today's guest, David Rubin, is an American who now lives in Israel, where he and his toddler son were attacked by terrorists. As the former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, the Founder and President of the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund, and an American-Israeli political commentator, he knows all about Antisemitism and the danger of it rearing its ugly head in Congress and in colleges all over the U.S.
