The Sci-Fi Story That Explains 2,000 Years of Anti-Semitism
Manage episode 499597757 series 3481090
What if the most profound explanation for anti-Semitism was hidden in a science fiction classic? In this episode, I explore Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End (1953) and uncover a startling parallel between its central idea and the way Jews have been perceived throughout history. From the Christian demonization of Jews to modern anti-Zionism, I propose that the Jewish people are often feared and hated not for what they do, but for what they represent: a challenge to the world’s existing order, and a call to enter a higher, more God-connected phase of human existence.
