The Debate Over Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism: Understanding the Terms and Stakes

Recorded on February 15th, 2024. There has long been debate and disagreement over whether anti-Zionism is antisemitic. In recent months, this debate has become particularly intense and often acrimonious. In an effort to tackle this contentious and timely question in a serious, scholarly, and nuanced manner, Professor Ethan Katz (UC Berkeley) and Professor Dov Waxman (UCLA) engaged in a two-part public conversation. Their first conversation—held at UC Berkeley on February 1st—addressed anti-Zionism on college campuses. This event—the second conversation, held at UCLA on February 15th—addressed the broader debate over anti-Zionism and antisemitism and what's at stake.
