We discuss the historical alliances between Black and Jewish communities, particularly during the civil rights movement, and the current state of these relationships.
We dip into the geopolitical landscape, examining the overwhelming influence of Soviet propaganda that led to the avalanche of misinformation and anti-Semitic rhetoric we are seeing today across most media platforms and our college campuses..
