It was uphill to begin with a white coded man schooling a black woman.
The Rabbi had a good start with Sachs and should have stopped the history lesson there. Not only did the Rabbi wander after a strong start, he began in the 12thC, making it almost impossible in this format to link it to modern antisemitism and its cover antizionism. His reliance on relativism and the supremacy of lived experience was an incredibly lame way of prosecuting what ought to have been a very strong case.
Owens is a lot smarter than she’s given credit for, doubtless due to the sometimes idiotic positions she’s taken on other issues. It’s troubling that what should have been a clear win for the Rabbi turned into a no score draw and I fear for Israel’s future as a consequence.
