A viral clip raises a provocative question: is Holocaust education unintentionally reshaping how young people view Israel and Palestinians? (Original: 12 minutes → Condensed: 2 minutes.) Hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti dissect remarks from Sarah Hurwitz, a former Obama speechwriter and US Holocaust Memorial Council appointee, about social media, graphic footage, and shifting moral frameworks. You’ll get the core arguments and counterpoints: Hurwitz’s concern that Holocaust lessons cast Israelis as powerful actors, versus the rebuttal that images of civilian suffering reflect real policy outcomes — not just media effects. Key takeaways: how social media changes public opinion, the role of gatekeeping in elite discourse, and why policy solutions (reducing civilian harm) matter more than censorship. Keywords: Holocaust education, social media, Israel, Gaza, narrative control, media influence. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
