Opinion: Antisemitism Gets Normalized by Good People Who Do Nothing
I’m in North Africa shooting a TV show. I have never been a good sleeper and have gotten into the bad habit of checking my phone in the middle of the night.
Last night, I read the Daily Beast article, “Did I Witness a Hate Crime in Manhattan’s Liberal Melting Pot?” It was texted to me by my great friend Ben Sherwood, which isn’t strange at all—we’re always texting articles. What is strange is that he wrote it. (Full disclosure, he’s also the new CEO of The Daily Beast.)
More importantly, he’s a veteran journalist, having reported from serious war zones, and the last thing I expected was this story.
