From Antijudaism to Antizionism: A Three Era Framework for Understanding Jew-Hatred.
A conversation with Dr. Naya Lekht
Join Dr. Naya Lekht — scholar, educator, and co-founder of Stop Antizionism — for a community lecture introducing an original framework for understanding how anti-Jewish hostility has evolved: from antijudaism, to antisemitism, to antizionism.
You’ll learn:
How enduring libels against Jews — from blood libels to charges of colonialism, genocide, and apartheid — adapt to each era’s moral language while preserving the same patterns of accusation
How these narratives have repeatedly fueled exclusion, persecution, and violence throughout history
Practical tools for identifying and responding to modern Jew-hatred in conversations, schools, workplaces, media, and civic life
A timely and thought-provoking presentation for anyone seeking to understand — and confront — contemporary antisemitism.
