You’re Discrediting Jews & Don’t Even Realize It, The Most COMMON Antisemitism Hidden in Plain Sight

Antisemitism has evolved — and most people, including most Jews, can't even see it happening. Jonah Platt exposes the most common form of anti-Jewish bigotry in the world today, and the chances are you've already done it. What is epistemic antisemitism? It's the systematic invalidation of Jewish voices when speaking about Jewish experience, Jewish identity, and antisemitism itself — simply because they are Jewish. In this episode, Jonah unpacks how this insidious form of bigotry operates across the full political spectrum, from the far right to the progressive left, and why it's so difficult to fight when most people don't even know it has a name. Drawing on the scholarship of law professor David Schraub and his paper "The Epistemic Dimension of Antisemitism," Jonah explores how normalized antisemitic tropes quietly become embraced as fact, how Jewish voices are discredited through conspiracy theories and racist narratives, and why rising anti-Jew hate continues to go unchallenged.
