Episode 6 Is Israel our Greatest Ally?

This is episode 2 of my Freedom of Speech series. Within this episode we explore how antisemitism could encroach on the Freedom of Speech, funding, and monetary decisions institutions are allowed to make in regards to the idea of antisemitism; specifically the Antisemitism Awareness Act and Israel Anti-Boycott Act (amendment to Anti-Boycot Divestment Sanction Laws of 1961).

We define antisemitism and explore its implications and contradictions. We finish by asking ourselves if this is worth it by addressing if Israel really is our greatest ally.

I would like to preface this by saying I in know way have anything against the Jewish community, and I believe ideological collectivism leads to extremism and has the potential to get people hurt. The only way to avoid that is through unbias debate, and an honest look at the facts; which will only mean that logic will prevail because free speech will inevitably lead to the path to honest truth. That path must be illuminated by wholesome and logical debate.
