RERELEASE: Stop Saying “Antisemitism!” Jonah Platt Urges You to Fight Anti-Jewish Racism

Being Jewish with Jonah Platt

Why won’t people call antisemitism what it really is?


In this powerful monologue, drawing from personal experience, Jonah shares why the word "antisemitism" is outdated, misunderstood, and often ineffective at calling out real, harmful bigotry. Jonah breaks down the urgent need for clarity in how we talk about hate toward Jews. 


If you’ve ever been frustrated by the muddled debates around antisemitism, then this monologue is for you. It’s time to stop being polite, and to start getting real about Anti-Jew hate.
