    @serge Even when she's articulating something I'm not in alignment with she's still nailing the essence of the issue. And in a way that is truly unassimilated.

    I stand by my opinion that she's the most important Jewish public intellectual of the 21st century so far. At least in the diaspora. And she's basically doing pop-culture style writing in these two particular books of hers.

    Just a phenomenal talent.

    I'm stalled on her book. It's my busy season at work which just also coincides with our holiday season. Every fn year. Really hard to get anything else done during this time of year, but I should be able to get back to it after I'm done with next week though.

    A slightly modified quote from her interview.

    "[We aren't teaching antisemitism as bias or discrimination].

    We are teaching about antisemitism as a lie. It is a lie that people use to gain or maintain power. And the lie is always the same. Jews are destroying what you value the most.

    That's it.

    Jews are destroying what you value the most.

    And the only thing that changes in different eras, different social settings, different social circles, different cultures is what you value the most. So if you're in a deeply Christian society, then the whole rhetoric is around Jews are Christ killers. If you're in a racist society, Jews are an inferior race, if you're in an anti-racist society, Jews are racist."

    @dukepaaron @serge @menelion I'm still making my way through People Love Dead Jews, but I've been watching all her interviews for the new book which I'm absolutely reading after I finish this one. I don't think I saw this one though, unless I'm confusing it with another one. So which interview is this?
