How to watch
This lecture starts on 19 October at 7:00pm (UK).
Summary
We explore how anti-Jewish and anti-Israel hate has exploded worldwide since October 7th, and how the signs of this shift in world opinion have existed since UN Resolution 3379 was passed in 1973. How did we arrive here, and what actions should we take to fight back? We examine some suggested responses from worldwide Jewish leaders, along with some of my own thoughts about what we need to do.
