Katie asks Nurit Peled-Elhanan, Sakharov Prize laureate and Hebrew University scholar, whether Netanyahu and the Zionists want to create or perpetuate antisemitism, given that Israel claims to fight it while doing things in the name of the Jews that the world sees as genocide. "I'm sure it is intentional," she says. "It is blatant." Katie points to the incoherence: Israel says it exists to keep Jews safe and is the only safe place for them, yet it is also where what is called the worst massacre of Jews in one day since the Holocaust happened. "It's the most unsafe place for Jews," Peled-Elhanan says, adding that it is where many Jews are persecuted for their religion: Ethiopian Jews who had to reconvert, and Arab Jews who had to reconvert to the Ashkenazi form of Jewishness.
