Modern antisemitism comes dressed in academic robes, not white hoods. Writer Nick Pell breaks down the growing threat here on Skeptical Sunday!
Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:
- Today's antisemites aren't cartoon villains — they're professors, writers, and soft-spoken intellectuals armed with charts and citations, making them far more dangerous than traditional extremists.
- The "109 countries expelled Jews" myth crumbles under scrutiny — it's closer to 12 actual countries, with many expulsions being debt defaults by kings who borrowed from Jewish lenders.
- Kevin MacDonald's academic trilogy weaponized evolutionary psychology to frame all Jewish actions — whether capitalist or communist — as serving a unified supremacist agenda.
- Claims about Jewish "overrepresentation" miss the point entirely — success isn't suspicious, and asking "what's the proper amount?" flirts dangerously with totalitarian thinking.
- Combat bad ideas with better arguments, not censorship — engage with sophisticated antisemitism directly, learn the talking points, and dismantle them with facts rather than silence.
- Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. If you have something you'd like us to tackle here on Skeptical Sunday, drop Jordan a line at jordan@jordanharbinger.com and let him know!
