Antisemitism and Anti Zionism with Dina Porat & David Myers 11/12/20

Where does criticism of Israel end and antisemitism begin? Two scholars of high reputation in Jewish history and the history of antisemitism bring their expertise to this topic which has been loaded with polemics in recent years. Dina Porat is Professor Emerita of modern Jewish history at Tel Aviv University and the Chief Historian of Yad Vashem. The author of many books on the Holocaust and the Zionist leadership, she was crucial in formulating an extended definition of antisemitism accepted by many governments today. David Myers is Professor of Jewish History at UCLA, where he directs the Luskin Center for History and Policy. He also serves as the President of the New Israel Fund. His latest book is The Stakes of History: On the Use and Abuse of Jewish History for Life. The discussion will be moderated by American University History Professor and Director of the Center for Israel Studies, Michael Brenner.
