S2 Ep22: Answering One of Charlie Kirk's Last Questions
In this podcast, Dr. Nolte analyzes the reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with a particular focus on the desire of some commentators to inject Israel into a situation that doesn’t seem to involve Israel at all. He then answers a question that seemed to trouble Mr. Kirk in the days and weeks before his death: can friends of Israel criticize the government and its policies? Using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, Dr. Nolte suggests a framework for distinguishing criticism of Israel that is antisemitic from criticism that isn’t.
