Jodie and Matthew delve into the topic of Jewish Extremism as they discuss Chapter 3 of Mark Jurgensmeyer’s “Terror in the Mind of God” (TITMOG). Much of modern Jewish extremism and violence is related to Zionism in one form or another. Without getting into too many details about Zionism (that’s a topic for another time), Jodie and Matthew discuss Jewish extremists such as Meir Kahane, Yoel Lerner, and Baruch Goldstein to try to understand their forms of Zionism and extremism and follow the logic of these extremists and understand why they may have advocated for these horrible acts.Works Referenced and Recommended Readings:Juergensmeyer, Mark.
