Conversation with Prof. Susannah Heschel: Antisemitism as Cultural Sadism
Prof. Susannah Heschel of Dartmouth University offers a striking analysis of the rhetoric in campus protests following October 7: they stem from social sadism—the enjoyment of witnessing others’ pain.
We also discussed why her university hasn’t seen the same extreme incidents as other U.S. campuses, in part due to a different policy approach that she helped shape.
