Today’s Episode:

Benjamin Birely, a classical historian and the influencer behind HolyLandSpeaks, joins Dan to discuss why being a Jew in Italy these days is to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. From signs outside businesses announcing that “Zionists are not welcome,” to Jewish academics being rejected from public spaces, to cultural events getting hijacked by the anti-Israel cause, the entire country seems to be consumed by militant anti-Zionism. Should Italian Jew be worried about their future? And what does this tell us about the broader political mood in the West?
