דיווח מהווה רדוף || דארה הורן (ארה״ב) בשיחה עם סוזן נוסל

Dara Horn is an American Jewish author and essayist, winner of the National Jewish Book Award in 2003, 2006, and 2021. Her book "People Love Dead Jews - Reporting is Haunting" offers a scathing critique of the way the West deals with Jews and Judaism, mainly through the prism of death, persecution, and extermination - while ignoring the living, complex, and ongoing Jewish existence. Susan Nossell, a former senior US government official and human rights activist, speaks with Horn, whose book "Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All" was published in 2020 to rave reviews. For about a decade, she served as executive director of the Pan American Writers' Association. The two discuss the significance of contemporary Jewish-American writing, the drastic change in the image of the Jew in the United States since October 7, and how it has affected her writing and life. They provide a fascinating glimpse into the transformations and upheavals taking place in American Jewry in recent years.
