Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman.

My guest today is Dr. Gad Sad.

Gad is a visiting scholar at the Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom in Mississippi,

and he is also an evolutionary psychologist.

Today, we talk about Gad's forthcoming book called Suicidal Empathy,

in which he argues that the political

left has taken empathy to a dangerous extreme. We also talk about Gad's childhood as a Jew in Lebanon

and his family's experience of the Lebanese Civil War. So without further ado, Dr. Gad sad.

Thank you. ado, Dr. Gad sad. Now, are all the traitors present?

Let's get started, shall we?

From rags to riches.

I'm so sick of this.

Working like a dog and being treated worse.

okay gad sad thanks so much for coming on my show oh i'm delighted to be with you thank you cohorne

so tell me about your background growing up as a Jew in Lebanon.

Right. Okay, so I was born in 1964, as you said in Lebanon. We were part of a very, very minuscule community of Jews. At one point, there could have been a few thousand Jews in Lebanon,

but by the time we were still there in the mid-70s,

we were probably down to a few hundred people.

My parents had steadfastly refused to leave Lebanon,

perhaps not reading the writing on the proverbial wall.
