  Speaker 1: Welcome back to challenges of a radio program. I'm Garry McCanns.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining, Thank you for joining. Like that
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: knowledge God and you are listeners on episode of two thousand,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and twenty two. And the topic is about
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism, but from the perspective of looking at a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: report that ADL releases an executive summer regarding anti Semitic
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: attitudes in the United States in twenty twenty four. It
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: starts off in the months since the October seventh, two thousand,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: twenty three terrorist attack at Israel, the global Jewish community
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: has witnessed an increase in anti Semitic activity, unprecedented in
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: recent years. For many in and around Jewish communities, this
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: period has felt inherently different, a sentiment that has raised
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: several critical questions about the current, scope, nature, and implications
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of anti Semitism. To explore. Thus, the ADL Center for
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Anti Semitism Research has collected data since October seventh related
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to the scale and structure of the phenomenon of anti
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Semitism in the United States and compare results to past findings.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: This study of four thousand, one hundred and forty three
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Americans filled it between January the fifth in January eighteen,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, with the margin of air of approximately
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: one point five percent, found the following trends. Anti Jewish
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: choked beliefs continue to increase. Our younger Americans are showing
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: higher rates. Before I continue, I want to say what
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I've said, even as released to my community, your community,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: your community, or your community, as I was sharing with
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the young man a few weeks ago while listening to him,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and I let it be known that you're not born
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: with that hatred or disdain for another person of another community,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: for different race. You wasn't born that way. You can
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: say what you want. Somebody has taught you, well, you've
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: taught yourself. From twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the average number of anti Jewish tropes endorsed by Americans
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: increased from four point eighteen to four point thirty one
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: out of fourteen using the original eleven statements comprising the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: ad O Index. Agreement with six or more anti Jewish
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: tropes increased from twenty percent of the US population in
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to just under twenty four percent in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. In a reversal past trends. Younger Americans
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: are more likely to endorse anti Jewish tropes, with Millennials
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: agreement with the greatest number of anti Jewish tropes on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: average at five point four. They're followed by Generations Z
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: at five, Gen X at four point two, and baby
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Boomers at three point one. In addition to individual attitudes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: more than forty more than of Americans either have friends
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: or families who disliked Jews twenty three point two percent,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: or find it socially acceptable for a close family member
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to support harmas twenty seven point two percent. And I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: know that you have seen here in the United States,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: well maybe in your country, the recent release for some hostages,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and you've seen how they were not taking care of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: contrary to what the media had put out there as
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: released to when food was and actually how they was
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: being delivered. But did it reach the individuals who were
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: truly affected as well the hostages. Conspiratorial thinking and social
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: dominance orientation are key predators of anti Jewish belief. Belief
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in conspiracy theories continue to be one of the main
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: correlates of anti Semitic attitudes, with an overall average correlation
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of zero point three seven eight with anti Jewish trope belief.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Responders who falled in the upper corteale of conspiracy theory
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: belief endorsed over twice as many anti Jewish tropes on
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: average as those with the least conspiracy theory belief. Anti
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Jewish belief also correlates heavily with social dominance orientation, the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: belief that there should be higher status groups and that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: they should suppress lower status groups. For example, responders who
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: at least somewhat agreed with the statement that some groups
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of people are inferior to another groups were three point
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: six times more likely to fall in the top quartel
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of anti Jewish beliefs compared to those who did not.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: There was also a strong relationship with the belief that
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the problems in the world come down to the oppressor
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: versus the oppressed. Those who at leads somewhat agree with
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: this belief were two point six times more likely to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: fall in the top quartel of anti Jewish trope belief
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: compared to those who disagreed with the statement. A significant
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: percentage of Americans hold anti Israel position but also supported
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Jewish states right to exist. Significant percentages of Americans hold
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: certain anti Israel positions such as twenty point one percent
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: who expressed support for removing Israeli products from a local
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: grocery store and thirty point four percent who says supporters
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of Israel controlled the media. Young Americans take these positions
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a significantly higher rates. However, support point independent Jewish state
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: remains high, with eighty eight point eight percent saying Jews
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: have the right to an independent country. This is true
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: even among those who take other anti Israel positions. For example,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: eighty three point eight percent of people who believe that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Israelis tend to causes must suffer to Palestinians as possible
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: believe that this should be a Jewish state. October the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: seventh and ensuing Israel Hamas war has not resulted in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: major changes in the percentage of Americans who hold anti
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Israel positions. However, in just about every anti Israel position assess,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: increase viization appears evident. The proportion of responding strongly agreed
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: or strongly disagreeing with Israelated policies grew from the summer
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three to the present, whereas a proportion
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of those who are somewhat agreed or someone disagreed shrank
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: respond that's not comfortable buying products from Israel, with three
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: point four times more likely to be among the top
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: quartelle the believers in anti Jewish tropes. Responders who do
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: not think Jews have a right to an independent country
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: were three points seven times more likely to be among
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the top quartelle the believers and anti Jewish tropes. Responders
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: who believe IS really intended cause as much suffering to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Palestinians as possible were four point six times more likely
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to be among the most anti Semitic Americans. Responders who
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: believe IS really our paratives are secretly manipulating US national
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: policy through APAC or other influenced tools were seven point
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: five times more likely to be among the top quartella
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: believers in anti Jewish tropes. Since nineteen sixty four, ADL
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: has measured to what extent Americans believe certain anti Semitic
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: tropes through detailed quantitative surveys to allow for comparisons across time,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: ADL has repeated a battery of questions from the original
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: survey that was designed in partnership with researchers at the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: University of California, Berkeley in the National Opinion Research Center
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: at the University of Chicago. These questions form an index
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: used by ADL focused on engaging belief in particularly historic
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: anti Jewish tropes. Was stereo types such as whether Jews
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: stick together more than other Americans, Jews have too much
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: power in the business world, and Jews have a lot
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: of irritating faults. Historically, ADEL has used a simple majority
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: figure endorsing at least six out of eleven anti Jewish
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: statements in a bank, referred to as the ideal index,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to classify part of the population as holding anti Semitic views.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: ADEL has also added questions over the past several years
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: capturing more contemporary forms of anti Semitism. Specifically, researchers have
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: added numerous questions to better explore the dynamic between sentiments
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: towards Jews and those toward Israel Together. All these questions
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: are designed to paint a holistic portrait of anti Semitic
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: attitudes in America. In this report, we provide results from
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: our latest survey on anti Semitism. The survey of four thousand,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty three respondents representative of the general
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: US population, collected over a roughly two week period in
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: January two thousand twenty four and the first section of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the report examines belief in anti Jewish tropes, charting the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: trajectory and agreement with those tropes over time, and some
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of the key characteristics predictive of predicative of agreement. The
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: next three sections delve even more deeply into sentiments about Israel,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: focusing on sentiments toward people, for example, supporters of Israel
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: property for example, comfort with Boydcotts, policy and politics for example,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: voting for a pro Israel candidate and place, for example,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: support for Uiewish state. This approach has allowed researchers to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: veteran understand the various connections and disconnection between anti Israel
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: beliefs and anti Jewish anti Jewish tropes. Over the past
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: two years, researchers have found increasing endorsement of anti Jewish
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: tropes among the American public. After steady decline from nineteen
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: sixty four to twenty nineteen, endorsement of six or more
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: anti Jewish tropes has increased. Just under twenty four percent
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: of Americans endorsed six or more anti Jewish tropes of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the original eleven tested, up from twenty percent in twenty
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: twenty two. The average number of anti Jewish tropes endorsed
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: by Americans increased from four point eighteen to four point
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: thirty one out of fourteen two Anti Jewish troopes are
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: endorsed by majority of Americans. Jews stick together more than
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: other Americans Forty five point nine percent. Jews and business
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: go out of their way to hire the Jews. Forty
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: one point four percent. Jews are more loyal to Israel
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: than America thirty one point four percent. Jews always like
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: to be at the head of things. Twenty eight point
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: six percent Jews that I share my values twenty three
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: point five percent. Jews have too much power in the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: business world. Seventeen point four percent. Jews have too much
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: control and influence on Wall Street. Seventeen point six percent.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Jews and business are so shrewd that other people do
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: not have a fair chance of competition. Seventeen point seven percent.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Jews are more willing than others to use shady practices
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to get what they want. Fifteen point four percent. Jews
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: don't care what happens to anyone but their own kind.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Fifteen point percent. Jews have too much power in the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: United States today. Fourteen point nine percent Jews have a
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: lot of irritating faults fifteen percent, Jews are not just
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: as honest as other business people eleven percent Jews are
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: not warm and friendly eleven point five percent, and that
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: those percentage that I quoted was listed as somewhat true
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: in the overall percentage points. The average number of anti
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Jewish troops believed by each generational cohort continues to reverse
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the trend seeing in the latter half of the twenty
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: fi century, during which the older responders were the more
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: likely they were to endorse anti Jewish tropes. Millennials agree
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: with the greatest number of anti Jewish tropes on average,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: at five point four. They're followed by Gen Z at five,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: gen X at four point two, and baby boomers at
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: three point one. The younger generations endorse more anti Jewish tropes.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Gen Z five tropes endorsed Millennials five point four, Gen
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: X four point two, baby Boomers in the Sinate generation
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: three point one. Researchers also look to what extent Americans
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: have friends or family members who disliked Jews. People without
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: any friends of family that disliked Jews endorsed the fewest tropes.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Those with some family friends that dislike Jews agree with
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the agree with a similar number of tropes as those
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: at all family and friends who disliked Jews. People with
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: more family and friends that dislike Jews endorse more anti
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Jewish tropes. No friends and family three point seven, A few,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: five point six, some, seven point five, many, eight all eight?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: How many of your close friends and family disliked Jews.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: As we found in a twenty twenty three report, a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: general disposition toward conspiracy theory belief was highly correlated with
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: anti Jewish trope endorsement. Further, as detailed in a joint
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three cars C Post study, not only with
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: conspiratory ideation highly correlated, but that the finding remained true
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: regardless of political idioty and I encourage you to obtain
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the executive summary of this report and read it for
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: you so that you could see the level of agreement
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: with the American conspiracy thinking scale that it lays out,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the social dominance orientation correlates with the anti Jewish beliefs
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: that it lays out. There's much much more that's important.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: You know, people with an unpressed versus a pressed worldview
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: endorse more anti Jewish troops. Look at the report so
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you can specifically see all so that there's a clear
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: understanding of what's going on around as released to people
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and their potential belief especially the younger people here in
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the United States. Where did it begin? Who's influence in
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: all of that? Now? I think if you do your
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: independent research, you'll find out where it's really coming from,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: if you truly want to. And having said that, as
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I always like to bring in the biblical
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: perspective because that's important based upon my belief system. I'm
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: not speaking of yours or yours or yours respecting whatever
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: your belief system is, but I'm speaking of mine. Well,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: are you ready? You sure? All right? So let me
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: take a sip of my water. Speaking of the Jewish
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: community in the nation of Israel, Deuteronomy chapter seventh, verse
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: seven through nine tells us the Lord did not set
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: his affection on you and choose you because you were
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of all peoples. Because the Lord loved you and kept
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the land of slavery. From the power of Pharaoh, king
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of Egypt. Know therefore that the Lord your God is God.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: He is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to one thousand generations of those who love him and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: keep his commandments. God chose the nation of Israel to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: be the people to whom Jesus Christ would be born,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the savior from sin and death, and you can see
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: that in John chapter three, verse sixteen. God first promised
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: that Messiah after Adam and Eves fall into sin. You
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: see that over in Genesis chapter three, and God later
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: confirmed that the Messiah would come from the line of Abraham, Isaac,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and Jacob. Has seen in Genesis chapter twelve, verse one
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: through three. Jesus is Christ is the ultimate reason why
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: God chose Israel to be a special people. God did
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: not need to have a chosen people, but he decided
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to do it that way. Jesus had to come from
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: some nation of people, and God chose Israel. However, God's
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: reason for choosing a nation of Israel was not solely
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: for the purpose of producing the Messiah. God's desire for
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Israel was that they would go and teach others about him.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Israel was to be a nation of priests, prompts, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: missionaries to the world. God's intent was for Israel to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: be a distinct people and nation who pointed others toward
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: God and his promised provision of a redeemer, Messiah and savior.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: For the most part, Israel failed in this task. However,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: God's altimate purpose for Israel, that of bringing the Messiah
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: to world, was fulfilled perfectly in the person of the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ.
