Gad Saad Exposed The Pattern Nobody Wants To See

Evolutionary psychologist Dr. Gad Saad delivered a powerful address at the World Symposium Against Antizionism in Toronto, hosted by the Tafsik Organization. Drawing on insights from evolutionary psychology, history, and political culture, Dr. Saad examines what he argues is the recurring pattern of anti-Jewish animus throughout history. Using a biological analogy, he compares antisemitism to an ever-evolving virus that continually adapts to new social and political environments while retaining its core characteristics. Saad traces historical manifestations of Jew-hatred—from religious persecution and blood libels to modern conspiracy theories—and argues that contemporary anti-Zionism often serves as the latest expression of a much older phenomenon. He challenges audiences to consider whether ideas that are presented as social justice or political activism may, in some cases, represent the rebranding of longstanding prejudices. The speech also explores the concept of "suicidal empathy," a theme from Saad's bestselling book, and examines the cultural and ideological forces shaping public discourse in the West today.
