  "account": "In the latest episode of The David Frum Show, host David Frum begins by reacting to a shocking shooting that took place at the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Ontario on Yom Kippur. The synagogue, which dates back to the early 20th century but was built in the mid-1950s, was a symbol of North American Jewish life. However, the building had no security measures beyond a locked door, as violence against Jews was not a concern at the time of its construction. This incident, like many others, marked an intensifying trend of violence against Jewish worshippers around the world since October 7, 2023.\n\nDuring the show, Frum is joined by Jessica Tarlov, co-host of Fox News' The Five and Raging Moderates podcast, and author of the new book I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends. They discuss the book and offer advice on how to argue effectively without alienating friends. Frum and Tarlov also debate when to engage in a debate versus when to ignore someone to avoid giving them a platform.\n\nIn the final segment, Frum reviews the novel Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. Before delving into the book discussion, Frum opens the episode with his thoughts on the shooting at the Ontario synagogue, which occurred during the holiest day of the Jewish year. He emphasizes the importance of condemning anti-Semitic violence, even when it comes from those who spread myths about Jewish conspiracies, as hollow condemnations ring true. Frum criticizes the notion that one should not conflate Jews in different locations, as it can be viewed as incitement to violence and offers safety to some Jews on the condition that they disavow others.",
