Are Jews politically left or right?

September 1, 2024

In this episode, Rabbi Ken Spiro and Ellie Bass explore the evolving political landscape of Western Jewish communities, particularly in the wake of the October 7, 2023, events. The discussion delves into the shifting political affiliations among Jews, with a noticeable trend towards the political right as concerns about antisemitism and Israel’s security become more pronounced. The hosts examine the historical context of left-wing antisemitism, tracing its roots in early socialism and Marxism, and discussing its manifestation in modern political movements.
