Episode description
#26: Antisemitic incidents have been on the rise in Los Angeles and surrounding counties for the last few years. Now, the artist formerly known as Kanye West is amplifying the hate by spewing antisemitic and racist comments in interviews and on social media. It's not a new thing for him but its reached a crescendo in recent weeks and has had significant ripple effects right here in our city.
HTLA producers Megan Botel and Evan Jacoby talk to Jewish community members about what is happening, how to make sense of it ...and how to move forward.
Guests: Diane Winston, professor of media and religion at the University of Southern California; Rabbi Noah Farkas, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles
