Abe Socher is editor of the Jewish Review of Books. It’s become one of my favorite magazines. This week Abe sent out “Podcasts full of straw” (“Tucker, Fuentes, the algorithm & that good old-fashioned antisemitism”) to followers of the JRB Substack. It’s a preview of JRB’s forthcoming issue.
I asked Abe if he would say something about it for us. He responded: “I wrote it to capture what it’s like to doomscroll–literally, of course–Tucker & Co. at this particular antisemitic moment without losing one’s sense of humor–or anger. As I say in the piece, these guys are drawing from a deep and poisoned well. So the laughs are dark going into a holiday of light. Then again, Hanukkah commemorates a proud confrontation with Jew hatred.”
Abe invites Power Line readers to subscribe or give JRB to others this holiday season with his best deal ever — click here.
