Award-winning comedian Alex Edelman looks at why Jews are still so problematic for so many

Alex investigates how antisemitism has crept into the mainstream, especially in America with the rise of QAnon, and looks at why Jews are still so problematic for so many.

Award-winning comedian Alex Edelman asks why Jews are still so problematic for so many.  With the rise of QAnon and elected members of congress like Marjorie Taylor Greene, antisemitism has somehow crept into the mainstream, especially in America, and a lot of it still seems to go unchecked.  As an observant Jew himself, he looks at all the ways his faith, and people's reaction to it, impacts his life and the ways in which society still fails to understand the issues many Jews like him have to live with.
