The exaggeration of antisemitism, and the importance of understanding the "other side," with Yakov Hirsch

The exaggeration of antisemitism, and the importance of understanding the "other side," with Yakov Hirsch

A second talk with Yakov Hirsch, who writes about the Middle East conflict and about "Hasbara culture": what he sees as the tendency of some Israel-defending people to be overly antagonistic and us-vs-them in their thinking (for example, unfairly framing criticism of Israel as "antisemitic"). If you haven't heard the first talk, I recommend that one. This talk is more general, regarding the nature of conflict, and about how conflict can make us perceive the world and the people around us in overly pessimistic and antagonistic ways, which in turn leads to more conflict. It's also about the importance of trying to have cognitive empathy for people we disagree with and see the world from their perspective; even for people we may think are harmful and dangerous. This will be followed by a second talk where Yakov and I talk about American polarization and polarized views of Trump. Learn more about the show and get transcripts at⁠ ⁠behavior-podcast.com⁠⁠.
