He presents it in the same way as Nick Fuentes does. They both believe Jews operate in a monolithic

manner and that they have a singular investment in the continuation of the state of Israel.

Of course, Jake Tapper also, simultaneous, who we say that's very anti-Semitic when Nick Fuentes

says it, but he says it himself. I don't agree with that. No one is irredeemable.

Everyone can change their attitudes on issues. And if Jews were a monolithic force, if this

organized jewelry was a real force to be reckoned with, then there wouldn't be so much investment

in Zionist indoctrination for Western Jews. There just wouldn't be this much money being spent to

ensure that every young American Jew that goes to Jewish camp or goes to Jewish school

was getting unlimited amounts of Zionist propaganda, Zionist indoctrination.

And yes, this doesn't mean that there aren't otherwise liberal American Jews that lean into

illiberal ethno-nationalism, crude, tribalistic ethno-nationalism when it comes to Israel. Of course,

there are. Aren't you simultaneously doing the Mershheimer and Chomsky argument at the same time?

Yes, I have always been a centrist when it comes to this issue because one, in my belief,

doesn't exist without the other. Israel doesn't get to create this lobby. Israel doesn't

get to create these Zionist institutions on U.S. soil without fair restrictions if Israel doesn't

play the role of a reliable ally during the Cold War against the rise of pan-Arabic nationalism.

If Israel doesn't play the role of an American satellite for American imperialism and this resource

rich region, Israel doesn't get to have this sophisticated propaganda apparatus working on U.S.

soil as aggressively as it has for the past 80 years. It's that simple.

In terms of and would never use the phrase Jewish lobby, there is no such thing as a Jewish lobby.

There is an Israel lobby. That's the problem. Which has evangelical Christians in it.

It has evangelical Christians and it has. Military industrial complex. It has all kinds,

it has hundreds of organizations or parts of it. Many of them. The fear that I always have,

the fear that I always have is this. It's far easier to teach Americans tribalism.

It's far easier to get Americans on board on opposition to Israel through an anti-Semitic

framework than it is to teach them about anti-imperialism, anti-fascism to have a morally consistent

anti-genocide position. That's the problem. And if you don't actually develop this framework,

then you're not going to, you are never going to be able to fully comprehend why what America's

doing is is also wrong. That's the problem. America's the entire world, dude. No, for sure.

For sure. What is this joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Italy,

Netherlands, Norway, and Canada? The Israeli government's decision to push construction tenders,

the tenders for the E1 settlement project is unacceptable. Here we go. Oh man, you got grave concerns

about the settlement project once again. Yes. Yes. Brother Islam has been around for 1400. What is

this? They have been warring with the West for literally over a millennia. Terrorism is loaded

in false term. The literally spreading of Islam look toilet paper. I'm a Muslim, by the way.

Propaganda, literally opposite Jewish historians believe Islam is a reason Judaism survived today.

I'm so confused as to what argument you're trying to make.

As an anti-Zionist Jewish person whose temple is reform and deeply Zionist, it's difficult to even

approach trying to change their minds. No, I understand that. I understand that. My, I mean, look,

to the anti-Zionist Jews in my community, you have a very tough job ahead of you. Well, you have to go

back to your communities and try to get your elderly relatives to understand that this connection

between Israel and Zionism that is expressed over and over again through a lot of these Jewish

institutions, okay, is teaching people the idea that Jews are monolithic and this is a dangerous,

it is a very, because look, it's a very dangerous mode of propaganda. And you want to know why?

Because people don't fuck with Israel any longer. And if Jews in America keep putting

this, this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone's

going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel mind you, but against American Jews.

Okay, we're teaching people the wrong lesson. At the end of the day, American Jews do not prioritize

Israel, but they do prioritize anti-Semitism. And that's precisely the reason why a lot of this

propaganda that is facing the American Jewish side from a lot of these Jewish outlets, right?

We'll tie the two all the time. And we hear that from outlets like ZBS as well, right?

When the host asked Angie Nixon, like, oh, well, don't you think we shouldn't stop giving

weapons to Israel at a time when anti-Semitism is exploding? Where's the connective tissue between

these two events? American Jews do care about anti-Semitism. It's understandable to care about anti-Semitism.

They don't care about Israel. So how do you tie the two? You say, well, Israel is the only thing standing

in the way of the next Holocaust happening. That's how you do it. That's how you do it.

So every single time you have prominent Zionist Jews come out and be like, no, this is anti-Semitic,

to oppose Israel is anti-Semitic. You're teaching people that you're teaching people the trope of dual

loyalty. That's where you're teaching people. After you teach them that, you can't turn around and say,

oh, well, this is dual loyalty. This is anti-Semitic because at a certain point, people are not going

to give a shit. And we're already past that point. It's that simple. I read this not as an actual

retreat from anti-Semitism charges, but enhanced preparation for pressing on Islamophobia, given the

plausible rise of voting public's less beholden to the power of every arant anti-Semitism charge

shipping away at the offices of anti-Semitism's ours. That's precisely what's going on. Yes,

they're not going to give up on claiming that people are anti-Semitic, of course. They're going to

keep doing that because there's a lot of institutional value. There's a lot of institutions that will still

take action once the anti-Semitism allegation is brought up. But what they're doing is the Israeli foreign

ministry has recognized at this point that there is no way to defend Israel. So they'll take the

second best thing, which is to foment Islamophobia, who's fighting against the hordes of Muslims, the

dangerous Muslims that are destroying the Western world. The Jewish state is, of course, this is a

battle between the Western forces and the scary Eastern hordes of Muslims who are barbaric. That's

the way they present it as. In Israel, you might not like them, but at least they're a bulwark against

the scary hordes of Islam. And they'll take that. That's the next best thing for Israel at least.

Knowing full well that they can press that Islamophobia button over and over again.

Not realizing that those who oppose Islam in the West, those who consider Islam to be a dangerous

toxic force, a dangerous toxic force that's destroying Western civilization also find

Jews to be a dangerous toxic force as well.

Anyway. Yeah, Jeremy Moss, the Democratic nominee for U.S. House Michigan 11 says this

is the person who took who won Haley Stevens's seat, by the way, says, Abdul is going to have to

demonstrate some serious outreach to Oakland's Jewish community. I wonder what he asked to do.

To gain the support of Oakland County's Jewish community.

Yeah, he has to drop his critiques of Israel. That's what it is.

Now, is Oakland County's Jewish community in unison making this demand of Abdullah Said? No,

of course not, but if there isn't opposition from Jewish figures in this community that are

loud about the, the, the.
