Ralph and I discuss whether or not these anti-non-Jewish sentiments (say that 3X fast) are the norm in the region or if they're the result of fringe groups. We also discuss Joe Rogan's recent statements and what should be classified as antisemitic and what should not. But not to worry, we still have fun!
