She’s Back! Dara Horn Returns to talk The Big Lie and the Origins of Antizionism

What if the most dangerous lies about Jews are the ones we’ve been taught to believe?Bestselling author Dara Horn returns to Being Jewish for a super-sized episode to discuss her new book The Final Solution to the Jewish Question and why she believes antisemitism is more than prejudice.Dara describes antisemitism as a power-serving lie built around the idea that Jews are destroying what others value most. Dara explores how propaganda spreads, from the illusory truth effect and information laundering, to harassment campaigns and the manipulation of platforms like Reddit, Wikipedia, and AI platforms.&nbsp;Dara traces the evolution of modern anti-Zionism through Soviet and Islamist networks and the 2001 Durban Conference, while challenging empathy-only approaches to antisemitism that can erase Jewish difference. She also gives her opinions on Holocaust education, explains the myth of a “golden age” for American Jews, and shares a powerful story about Theodor Herzl’s grandfather. Dara answers the question of what it means to choose Jewish continuity.MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Propaganda Game - Bad NewsThe Real Root of Antisemitism: Curiosity vs. Conformity 2:11Antisemitism as a Lie Used to Gain Power6:58 What Holocaust Education Gets Wrong40:51 The Myth of America’s Jewish “Golden Age” &amp; the Power of Jewish Agency50:49Zionism, the UN, Data Poisoning &amp; the Battle Over History1:01:24 More Ways To Connect with Being Jewish:Support the podcast directly by becoming a member of the Kehillah.To contact us &amp; all things BJJP:www.BeingJewishPodcast.comWatch Being Jewish on YouTube:www.youtube.com/@beingjewishpodcastSubscribe to the Being Jewish Newsletter:bit.ly/beingjewishnewsletter<span st
