We love simple villains. In the 1940s it was Charles Lindbergh; in 2026, it’s Israel and ‘the Jews.’ In this episode of TheJewFunction, Dr. Jonathan Reich—cardiologist, aerospace engineer, and author of A Convenient Villain—shows how America turned Lindbergh into the antisemitic bad guy and quietly let the system that blocked Jewish refugees off the hook. "A convenient villain": https://a.co/d/06HhgVomW: aconvenientvillain.com-- --WHAT IS THEJEWFUNCTION - A 10min EXPLANATIONhttps://youtu.be/5TlUt5FqVgQLISTEN TO THE MYSTERY BOOK PODCAST SERIES:https://tinyurl.com/y7tmfpesSETH'S BOOK:https://www.antidotetoantisemitism.com/FREE AUDIOBOOK (With Audible trial) OF THE JEWISH CHOICE - UNITY OR ANTISEMITISM:https://amzn.to/3u40evCLIKE/SHARE/SUBSCRIBEFollow us on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/Tiktok @thejewfunctionNEW: SUPPORT US ON PATREONpatreon.com/thejewfunction

Neuroscientist Zack Dulberg helps us explore a question that has haunted humanity for centuries: why does Jew hate keep returning across completely different cultures, religions, and political systems?c Drawing on neuroscience, moral psychology, and social cognition, Zack examines why societies create scapegoats, how moral narratives form, and why Jews continue to occupy a unique place in humanity’s imagination. Is antisemitism simply prejudice—or does it reveal something deeper about human nature itself?
