- Retired medieval history professor Richard Landes (Boston University), who is perhaps best known for coining the term "Pallywood," presents a lecture on the meaning of a phenomenon identified by his physicist friend and colleague David Deutsch, known as "The Pattern," which refers to the circular nature of the necessity of legitimizing anti-Semitism throughout the ages.
