Noa Tishby: Antisemitism has ‘shape-shifted' into antizionism
A new Voice of the People survey among Jewish Americans found that 78% listed antisemitism as one of the top five challenges facing them today. Noa Tishby, the former special envoy to Israel for combating antisemitism, joins 'Elizabeth Vargas Reports' to discuss antisemitism and how it's causing fear for Jews around the world. 'There was an understanding that this has been settled after World War II. … But, as we see, antisemitism is the oldest form of hate and discrimination that's still being practiced today,' Tishby says. She says today it has shape-shifted into something new — antizionism. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
