Fighting Antisemitism Today—An Interview at New Politics

For the past several years Shane Burley and Kevin Van Meter have engaged in a series of conversations on “Autonomous Anti-Fascism” and “Antifascism, Historically and in the Present.” Today they are joined by Ben Lorber for a conversation regarding the fight against antisemitism. Fighting antisemitism “through solidarity” doesn’t just create “safety” for “Jews and all people”; it allows us to directly confront the conspiratory core of contemporary fascist and rightwing arguments while building resilient antifascist and left movements. Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism by Shane Burley and Ben Lorber was released in June 2024 from Melville House and the authors are currently touring the United States.
