Candid Conversations: Exploring Antisemitism with Phumi Mashigo and David Hirsh

--:--
Is Antisemitism a thing that is confined to few ultra right crazies? Is Antizionism a rising form of discrimination? How are these two words, their meanings and the people they describe shaping the way politics is evolving or devolving? Phumi Mashigo gets into these questions, and more with Founder of the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism, David Hirsh.
