Statistically, a Jew in Canada is now 9 times more likely to be a victim of a hate crime than a Jew in the United States. How did this happen in a country known for politeness, diversity, and social democracy? Is this even a real phenomenon, or is anti-zionism being misclassified as antisemitism?

Lots of insights gleaned by listening to this series. This is a courageous and important series.
An important listen for all sides of this argument. Both people deserve dignity and respect. Both belong on that land. And peace will come with shared respect. Well done, Jesse. Strong reporting on an important topic for Canada and the world.
What happened to this podcast?! The entire last season is absolutely infuriating- entirely lacking context. I’m surprised this is allowed to air.
Listened to a few episodes and nothing has changed in the minds of these people-770+ days since the beginning of this brutal genocide. Unfollowing. Disgusted at how narrow minded this host is.
The host starts from the premise that being anti-Zionist is anti-Semitic. From there, here is never willing to question this premise and only interrogates people in illogical and biased ways, trying to prove that he is right.
