CAEF presents "Why is Contemporary Antisemitism So Sexy?" Part 2 of a Unique Psychological Analysis
Part 2 - Strategies for Counter-Messaging: Undermining the Three Enabling Envelopes, is presented by Dr. David Nussbaum, PhD., C. Psych., Chair of the Extremism and Terrorism Section of the Canadian Psychological Association, Senior Research Scholar with ISGAP.
Despite a concerted effort to counter the factual and logical distortions marshalled against the blight on humanity of antisemitism, the scope and intensity of antisemitism continues to grow.
Part 2 shows how the basic strategies are translated effectively into many standard tactics tailored to particular situations, such as crises, and intended for specific target audiences.
The various tactics falling under different strategic categories identify the three contemporary existential threats faced by Israel, the Jewish People, and the Western World. Given this understanding, specific recommendations for strategic counter-messaging to undermine both the sanctioning cultural envelope and the derivative antisemitic slander are provided.
CAEF presents "Why is Contemporary Antisemitism So Sexy?" Part 1 of a Unique Psychological Analysis
Part 1 - Antisemitism as Extremism: Background & Basics, is presented by Dr. David Nussbaum, PhD., C. Psych., Chair of the Extremism and Terrorism Section of the Canadian Psychological Association, Senior Research Scholar with ISGAP.
Despite a concerted effort to counter the factual and logical distortions marshalled against the blight on humanity of antisemitism, the scope and intensity of antisemitism continues to grow. The first session of this two-part program provides a definition of antisemitism from a psychological information processing context, and as a special case of extremism.
Antisemitism is analyzed from the perspective of basic approaches to “truth” used by extremists of all stripes, looking at long-term consequences of factual and logical errors, different types of information processing systems and common “culturally adjusted” messages across different cultural envelopes through which antisemitism is delivered.
