About this listen
This event took place on February 8, 2006.
©2006 92 nd Street Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association (P)2006 92 nd Street Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew AssociationEditorial reviews
Prolific New York Times analyst David Brooks - ostensibly a conservative - has built a reputation around his nuanced take on society and culture - his tendency to blur the lines of partisan politics. On the issue of fighting anti-Semitism, Brooks’ opinions are, likewise, fluid, having evolved over time. In this 92nd Street Y seminar, the Jewish commentator admits he wasn’t particularly concerned with anti-Semitism in the years prior to 9/11, viewing it as a brand of prejudice on the wane. Unfortunately, Brooks’ opines, the tides have turned since that tragic day in 2001. Here Brooks reflects on growing anti-Semitic sentiment in Middle Eastern electoral politics, as well as 21st-century security threats faced by the U.S. and Israel, including the increasing likelihood of a nuclear-armed Iran.

Worth a Listen Given and Despite Current Events!
I love David Brooks and this speech affirms why. Even though this speech was delivered almost two decade ago, it is still relevant. As always, David approaches matters pragmatically, with humility and respect for others' beliefs, understandings and decisions. This has been him through and through.
It is sad where we find ourselves as a collective human race . I think this speech offers an understanding of the roots and perpetuation of Anti-Semitism without denigrating other groups. It is possible to be thoughtful, empathetic and balanced in differentiating between being hateful, pure evil and the right to live meaningful full lives regardless of our ethnicity.
Hope there will be an updated speech by David Brooks through the prism of what this past decade has been like, the current events, and a projection into the future.

If Only . . .
. . . all of the conservatives in this country were as introspective and intelligent and possessed the intellectual curiosity of David Brooks, I honestly believe that people in this country would get along much better. The same is true of course, of the country’s liberals as well.
I’m always impressed and grateful for Brooks’ compassion and fairness and each time I encounter him I wonder, as he must, where all the true Republicans have gone.

Weak delivery
Waste of time. Very superficial and hurried. Over rated. Not recommended for serious student of the subject.
