0:15

0:17
Today we are back to talk about
0:19
Palestine. But it's a special episode
0:21
because we have a guest. Who is it?
0:24
It is known uh,
0:26
former guest of the show,
0:29
Matt Leeb, who's wonderful. Look,
0:31
he's here to fight the fight with us.
0:33
And we get very real on this episode. So if
0:36
you can't handle the truth, you
0:38
should stay because this is for you. Actually, who
0:46
are we? Where
0:49
did we come from? Who do we
0:51
become? What is it
0:53
to me? What to me
0:55
is it? Where are
0:57
we? Who are my parents?
1:00
Where are my parents? Why
1:03
were we born? We
1:07
are ethnically
1:09
ambiguous? Hi,
1:29
Serene Hi. Another
1:32
week of hell, but
1:36
today's a little bit less hot
1:38
in hell because we have someone else to join
1:40
us in hell so we can talk to them.
1:43
Yeah, it's hell time. So
1:45
we had to ask our favorite sort
1:48
of brother in Hell. I'm gonna
1:50
say, like brother in Christ. This is brother in Hell,
1:53
Matt Leeb to come
1:55
on the podcast. I am
1:58
so glad to be here
2:00
on the podcast to uh,
2:02
you know, as a Jewish American. I'm
2:05
here to confront you guys about
2:07
your rampant anti
2:10
Semitic views. Number
2:13
one, I think being like
2:15
existing as Arab
2:18
or Persian or you know whatever
2:21
Persian is deeply
2:24
anti Semitics, deeply problematic. It
2:27
makes me feel bad for
2:30
knowing that you know, you're still here. You
2:33
know, I don't want you here. And
2:35
uh yeah, So I'm just here,
2:38
honestly to just have some open discourse
2:41
with you guys in which
2:43
I talk over you and tell you
2:45
you're wrong. God bless.
2:48
Yeah, that's what we need. We need to We wanted
2:51
to keep ourselves honest. So yeah,
2:53
thanks, I'm here to keep you accountable
2:56
to me personally, uh
2:59
and to judge you by
3:01
impossible standards. Yeah,
3:05
so you've been so that's
3:08
where like, okay, yeah,
3:11
wait a stream did your book?
3:13
Matt. I've
3:16
changed a lot in the last thirty days. I don't
3:18
know if you guys know this. Remember before how
3:20
it was all like, you know, black
3:23
lives matter, and you know, trans
3:26
rights or human rights and stuff. I'm
3:29
kind of I'm doing a pivot, hard
3:32
pivot pro genocide
3:34
to pro genocide where you
3:36
know, my right to genocide
3:38
is also a human right. And also listen,
3:41
sometimes you got to do a genocide to avoid a
3:43
genocide. That's apparently what
3:45
we're dealing with right now. I
3:48
do. I do
3:50
think I've like touched
3:53
on this earlier, but I think making everything
3:55
is very absurd right now, right and
3:57
I think being able to
4:00
openly talk about how weird it is, how
4:02
absurd everything is, how bizarre everything is,
4:04
is really helpful. So I appreciate
4:07
your voice when it comes to the
4:10
Internet zeitgeist, when it comes to all this stuff,
4:12
because it's very much needed. Matt
4:15
has been doing more of like a satirical
4:18
approach, I guess, but
4:21
it's not even a joke. Really what you just said
4:23
earlier about like our existence is anti
4:26
semitic, because that's what we're seeing. It's all like really
4:28
taking a stretch, you know. Yeah,
4:31
So for anyone who's listening and has
4:33
no idea who I am, all that if
4:36
you're not certain, was clearly a
4:38
joke. The one
4:40
thing I've learned in doing like
4:43
satire videos for the last month
4:46
is that no matter
4:49
how much I go, you
4:51
know, look at the camera and mug
4:53
and go yuck, yuck, yuck, this is
4:56
satire, people will still
4:58
think I'm being deadly serious. At first, I
5:00
thought it was like, oh, well, something's getting lost in translation
5:02
here, and then I realized it's
5:04
like, no, half the shit I'm saying
5:08
is almost verbatim Zionist
5:11
talking points yea, And so it's
5:13
hard to distinguish satire
5:16
from reality at this point.
5:18
And you know, it
5:21
almost makes what I'm
5:23
doing more funny to me, because
5:26
I'm just like, the fact that this could
5:28
possibly be confused with
5:31
something real shows you the level
5:33
of ridiculousness that I can't even think
5:36
of something more ridiculous
5:39
than the reality that we currently live in. So
5:42
that says something to me at least. Question
5:45
how many people have reached out like thank you so much
5:47
for speaking the truth. A
5:50
few people have, which has been very
5:53
nice. I would say the
5:55
majority of the comments have
5:57
been positive, but
6:00
also no, I mean, like, how many Zionists
6:03
don't get it? Oh,
6:05
how many Zionists have reached out so far?
6:07
None? Us. Yeah,
6:11
Zionists are very clear as to what
6:13
I'm doing because
6:16
they it's you know,
6:18
they are almost the target
6:20
audience in a sense. I mean, they're
6:22
the people I'm making fun of. Yeah,
6:25
and they they
6:28
know what I'm doing, especially
6:31
since, like you know, if you stick around for
6:33
any of my videos long enough, you if
6:35
you weren't convinced it with satire,
6:38
eventually you'll you'll
6:40
get it. And then they get very angry, and
6:42
then I have to, you know, get into
6:44
a bunch of arguments with people who you
6:47
know, are so convinced
6:51
of their own either
6:54
victimization or of their own righteousness
6:57
and their cause that it's
6:59
not even worth engaging.
7:01
So that's a lot that's been a lot of fun, a
7:04
lot of a lot of bad faith people. And then a lot
7:06
of people in my own life, I mean, you
7:08
know, like friends or people who
7:12
I mean, I would like to hope
7:14
that they come around and we can still be
7:16
friends, but it's hard to tell
7:19
now who have
7:21
just gone completely off the deep end
7:23
and have decided
7:26
randomly that there are years and years
7:28
and years of being at least
7:31
superficially a part of some sort
7:33
of struggle
7:36
with people in different
7:40
you know, discrete and insular groups
7:42
we have in the United States have
7:44
decided to take a turn for Zionist
7:48
patriotism, despite
7:50
the fact that they are themselves from
7:53
Westchester or from
7:56
Tampa. Yeah, and it
7:58
is. It's been. It's
8:02
been wild. It's been really wild.
8:04
It's been eye opening for me because I did
8:07
not know how
8:09
easily that sort
8:11
of victimization
8:16
narrative and like just
8:18
kind of subconscious trauma could
8:21
be triggered to the point of absolute
8:24
madness. And
8:26
so breaking through that madness has
8:28
been almost an
8:30
impossible task for a
8:33
lot of people that I know. I'm
8:36
seeing that. And
8:38
I also, yeah,
8:41
and like centering themselves
8:43
in this tragedy in a way that makes no
8:45
sense, Yeah,
8:48
in a way that is so detached
8:51
from reality that like
8:54
all of the arguments
8:57
that I would have against it, I
9:00
even imagine they haven't
9:04
already considered because
9:06
they're so obvious. Like, for
9:09
example, are we really going
9:12
to you
9:14
know, be sitting at
9:16
home shivering about a potential
9:20
Jewish genocide in America
9:23
while simultaneously a
9:26
real genocide is happening,
9:28
Yeah, in Gaza, And
9:31
you know, like to me, that's like, well,
9:33
that's obvious, right, guys. And no,
9:37
they they are for the most part, I
9:39
see them consuming a constant
9:42
like loop of Jewish
9:48
victimization narrative media. You
9:51
know, whether it's like college campuses,
9:53
you know, are under attack, or a
9:56
synagogue got you know, uh spray
9:58
painted. And you know a
10:01
bakery you know in Brooklyn that was like a Yiddish
10:03
bakery wasn't even Zionist, it
10:05
was wasn't you know, Hebrew was
10:10
tagged. And you know, I don't excuse
10:12
you know, people's like ignorant behavior,
10:16
but I also put it in perspective
10:19
in the current reality and climate that we live
10:21
in. Like I I don't
10:23
excuse it, but it's not
10:25
at the forefront of my mind, and I
10:27
can't imagine it being at the forefront
10:29
of anyone's mind in America,
10:32
because let's be real, if
10:35
you're a white Jew in America, you
10:38
are white. You're
10:41
just a white person. Yeah. It's so funny
10:43
to me watching like the
10:45
amount of resentment
10:48
from white Jewish
10:52
liberal Zionists resentful
10:54
of people of color in America for
10:57
not being with them, even though I was with
10:59
you, oh my gosh. Yeah. And and
11:01
I look at that, and I go, you know, they don't know
11:03
you're Jewish, right, Like they don't
11:06
you You have to tell them you're Jewish,
11:08
like You're just a white person to them.
11:11
The idea that like a black
11:14
person from Compton is looking
11:16
at a white person and going
11:19
wait, wait, wait, but are they Jewish? Is
11:22
fucking ridiculous. It's just not It's
11:24
doesn't enter and it. You know, there's
11:27
a great essay that James
11:29
Baldwin wrote about this very thing. You know,
11:31
like black people
11:33
are anti Jewish because they're anti white was
11:35
sort of the thing, and it was about
11:38
basically, you know, you were not identifiable
11:40
as anything other than white
11:43
to most people of color in America. To
11:45
other white people, it's different.
11:48
Other white people do tend
11:50
to be like, oh, is that a jew, like
11:53
if they find out you're a Jew. But that's the thing.
11:55
A lot of the times, the people who are making these complaints,
11:59
like Amy Schumer, Yeah,
12:03
I'm just like, you're not even identifiably
12:06
Jewish. You are. You
12:08
are literally a blonde haired, blue eyed
12:10
white lady. Like no
12:13
one knows you're Jewish unless they,
12:15
like I had to walk around looking Jewish.
12:18
If anyone should be like, you know, uh,
12:21
like walking around being scared to
12:23
be Jewish in public, it would be me. I
12:26
can't walk out like, you know, look
12:28
at my fucking face, I look like a
12:30
Jew. She doesn't know. You
12:32
know, we can't comment on that, isn't her? No, No, you
12:34
cannot. You cannot comment on it. If you
12:37
do, or if you even shake your head, then
12:39
I will assume you're anti Semitic and want
12:41
my family did. But
12:43
yeah, it's just, uh, it's just kind of this ridiculous
12:47
like pivot that a lot of like,
12:50
uh liberals that I know have done
12:52
into kind of a blind Zionist
12:56
Israeli nationalism. And I'm just like, how
13:00
how how could like how
13:03
I just don't understand it. I don't understand
13:05
it. Yeah. I think Amy Schumer
13:07
is a great example of because I'm pretty sure
13:10
she's one of the people that posted that meme where
13:12
it's like we went to BLM and
13:14
we stood with these people or whatever, and then they
13:16
came for Jewish people and no one did anything and
13:18
no one stood with us, uh
13:21
and he stood with you people. Yeah
13:25
exactly. It's like, also, solidary
13:27
isn't transactional, Like you don't have to
13:29
be a good person because someone else is a good person
13:31
to you. Yes, yes, But
13:34
I think her just whole
13:37
identity during this whole thing has been
13:39
such a joke I was like in the beginning,
13:42
I was like looking at her page for updates because
13:44
it was so funny. And the one silver
13:46
lining is that she hasn't post it in like a week, so
13:49
yeah, she's
13:51
shamed. Yeah her, I think her
13:54
PR people got her in line. They were like, hey,
13:56
listen, this is Afther
13:58
King's daughter. Was like, yes, my dad
14:01
would not be on your side. I think
14:03
that was a great drag. Yes, yes,
14:05
that was That was unbelievable.
14:07
That was so like, I don't I
14:10
would crawl under a rock and guy from
14:12
shame, like, I, oh my god,
14:15
that was so beautiful. And you know, I
14:17
just I can't like
14:21
express enough my
14:25
admiration for gentiles
14:31
who are taking a stand
14:34
for non Jewish people who
14:36
are actually saying something publicly,
14:39
because that is such a
14:41
bigger risk. Like half the
14:43
reason that I do these videos is
14:46
because is
14:49
because I mean, Israel
14:52
would gladly let me displace
14:55
a Palestinian family like
14:57
Israel is U trying
15:01
to sell me and every diaspora
15:03
jew on the idea of you know, living
15:06
in their state and you
15:08
know, upping the birth rate and keeping
15:10
it Jewish and whatnot, and so
15:14
you know, people who are
15:17
not Jewish are
15:21
you know, it's so easy to paint
15:23
you as an anti Semite
15:25
and then that's it. Move on, you know, like
15:28
like these are and it's not like a
15:32
light accusation. You
15:34
know, it's not something that it carries
15:37
so much baggage with it. I
15:39
mean there's loss of jobs.
15:42
I've seen people who they've lost their
15:44
jobs, they've lost their management,
15:46
they've lost you
15:48
know, they've they've put future job
15:51
prospects at risk. They've been expelled
15:53
from school, they've been arrested
15:56
for protesting. I mean,
15:58
like it is, it
16:01
is not a safe thing, and
16:04
it's almost like there's no there's
16:06
no upside to it in terms
16:09
of like you don't get anything
16:11
from being uh, someone
16:14
with morals and
16:17
which is I think the big difference here
16:19
between kind of like uh,
16:22
the real ones and the fake ones
16:24
has been like, wait, were
16:26
you just were you just posting
16:29
a black square because you because it got you
16:31
something like it got you,
16:33
you know, the the respect of
16:36
you know, the black
16:39
community or like you know, it's
16:41
basically was transactional and
16:43
it's I'm one of the
16:45
good ones. Yeah, you
16:47
risk nothing when
16:50
you are just like I stand
16:52
with Israel. You don't risk anything.
16:55
Yeah, yeah,
17:03
very important points
17:05
that I feel like, you know, it's so surreal that like
17:07
it feels so simple to me. I'm like, yeah,
17:10
of course, yeah. But then like it's
17:14
as they love to say, it's so complex,
17:16
it's so complicated, you guys, it's so
17:18
complicated. Anyone who says it's
17:20
not complicated
17:24
is Hitler. Yeah,
17:29
Hitler's like basic premise
17:32
was complicated. It's complicated.
17:35
Uhous yeah, no, yeah, famously
17:37
said that, but no, yeah,
17:40
it is. It's it all
17:42
seems obvious. Uh.
17:44
And then you hear the talking points,
17:47
and the talking points Zionis talking
17:49
points are there specifically
17:52
to obfuskate and muddle
17:56
and make you feel
17:58
crazy. I mean, it's I've
18:01
never seen such a coordinated
18:04
gas lighting campaign before.
18:06
And it's it's always been that way with like,
18:09
you know, Zionist talking points, but it's never
18:11
had to be so
18:15
ubiquitous before, like
18:17
like because now it's you know, there's
18:19
a giant fucking war happening, and
18:22
you know wars even I
18:24
put that in air quotes. There's
18:26
a massacre happening of Gossin's
18:30
and yeah,
18:32
so it's national news. And so
18:34
now the gas lighting has
18:36
gone national to a degree
18:38
that we haven't seen since like post nine
18:40
to eleven, like just an
18:43
absolute bald faced
18:45
attempt at
18:48
doing Orwellian doublespeak
18:50
and just making people feel
18:52
like they maybe are too stupid to
18:55
understand what's happening. And
18:58
yeah, I mean I knew
19:00
that a lot of Zionist talking points were like
19:03
just a little unhinged and like ahistorical,
19:06
Like you do a little bit of research and you're like, this is not
19:08
correct. But I feel like as time
19:10
is going on, they're upping the ante
19:13
with how ridiculous they're being,
19:15
Like they're sympathizing with Nazis
19:17
now saying but the Nazis
19:20
they knew they were doing a bad thing. Hummuch,
19:22
at least they were sad about it, Like
19:24
in what world? I know, I know
19:27
the idea that Nazis took
19:30
no pleasure in doing
19:33
fucking in like brutalizing
19:36
and murdering Jews,
19:38
like stating
19:42
that in order to
19:44
recontextualize Palestinians
19:47
as being worse than Nazis, Like
19:50
you're doing apologia
19:53
for Nazis now, and
19:55
that is that is just like it's it's
19:58
insane to any thinking person,
20:02
but you know, it's
20:04
it's just widely accepted. It's like
20:06
a thing you're allowed to say. Now, I guess
20:09
like Nazis weren't all weren't all
20:11
that bad? I guess it.
20:14
I mean, I don't. It makes no sense
20:17
none, if it makes any sense to me, Like, I
20:19
feel like people have really lost the plot
20:21
here. Yeah, no,
20:24
they have and and and that is the
20:26
point. The point is for you is for people
20:28
to lose the plot. I mean, is it
20:31
is they want to make it like so they
20:33
want to offuscate the truth
20:35
so libally they can continue genociding people
20:37
the same way they were, Like, we didn't bomb
20:40
the first hospital, and by the time thousands
20:43
have died, we had moved on to the next point.
20:45
I think it's like Israel's Nzion
20:47
is like main like one of their main propaganda tactics
20:51
is to take
20:54
the attention away from the actual atrocity
20:56
by either shifting the blame or
20:58
like talking about something so irrelevant
21:00
and yeah, you gather
21:02
around it, you know exactly, and make the
21:04
conversation about something else, make
21:07
it about something else. And if you
21:09
can move the conversation to
21:12
be about anti Semitism,
21:14
yeah, then you can, uh,
21:17
you know, you can take focus
21:19
away from the crimes that
21:22
you are seeing with your very eyes, and you're told
21:24
not to believe your eyes. You're told not
21:26
to believe anything. And you know, I
21:29
think that tactic isn't unique to
21:33
Israel. I think, you know, not believe in
21:36
your eyes is like a you know,
21:38
a that is
21:40
a tactic of anyone who's doing
21:42
propaganda. It's
21:46
just it's more ridiculous
21:49
with Israel of late, because
21:52
everything is happening so fast, Like
21:55
usually it would be
21:59
this niceolated incident. They
22:01
bomb a hospital and everyone goes, what the fuck
22:04
uh, and then they go, no, we didn't
22:06
bomb the hospital, Like look at this, you know graph,
22:09
look at this thing that we have at this
22:11
angle and this caliber, and you have all their like
22:13
fucking you know, fake military
22:16
wonks being like, actually that looks like a
22:18
bullet that was made in Russia and
22:21
the Russians are the only ones who are
22:24
arming Homas, so blah blah blah. And then
22:26
weeks and weeks and weeks later they
22:29
would, you know, once the conversations
22:32
moved on, toy be like, yeah, we did it, we don't care, but
22:35
there's no outrage because that was weeks ago, and
22:37
now we're moving on to a new thing. The fact is
22:40
is that because this is happening
22:43
so fast, it went from we
22:46
don't we didn't bomb that hospital, We
22:48
don't bomb hospitals. Yes,
22:51
we bomb some hospitals. We have to bomb
22:53
hospitals, like in the in the
22:55
course of a week. So like you're
22:57
seeing this level of gas lighting like
23:00
happens so fast that it's not
23:03
having the effect that it usually
23:05
does. Like usually the
23:08
effect is that people move on, but
23:10
in this case, they you know,
23:13
they had to bomb another hospital,
23:15
and they're like, all right, well, at this point, we can't
23:18
keep saying we didn't bomb the hospitals.
23:20
Yeah, so luckily,
23:25
luckily, you know, people I think are
23:27
seeing through it.
23:29
But of course the people who are seeing through it
23:31
all have no power, so you know,
23:34
I think, you know, the powerlessness
23:36
of all of
23:39
us right now is also what's driving I think a lot
23:41
of people insane, is the fact that we all
23:43
feel super helpless
23:45
because we realize that we could
23:47
all march to Washington demand
23:50
a ceasefire and not move a single
23:53
senator. You know, yeah, I
23:55
mean it is crazy. It's like they're like, we
23:57
can't even like pick up the phone because it's
23:59
just NonStop calls of people demanding
24:01
a ceasefire and like our or
24:04
whatever bosses are telling us just not to answer
24:06
the phone anymore. And it's like,
24:09
I don't know about you. It doesn't sound like a democracy
24:11
to me. Maybe it sounds like you're accouring
24:13
the entire group of people. And guess what Trump
24:16
is gonna take office because no one's gonna vote. It's
24:18
a nice try, Yeah, I mean, smart
24:20
play gets really easy. I mean I definitely
24:22
feel helpless all the time, and it's really easy
24:24
for me to feel helpless. But I was thinking about this like a couple
24:26
hours ago even, and it's
24:30
every time I see videos of some Palestinian
24:32
marches, it's incredible, Like five
24:35
years ago or like my whole lifetime,
24:37
I never would have thought this would be something
24:40
the whole world agreed on. Like the attention
24:42
that Palestinians are getting
24:44
right now from people that like have a conscience
24:47
is incredible, Like it's it's
24:50
it makes me feel hopeful for the
24:52
younger generation who can see through
24:55
all this like weird like
24:58
made up propaganda. Yeah.
25:00
So I do definitely understand
25:02
the helplessness feeling because
25:04
these people can't do anything really. But
25:07
I think when you like
25:10
realize how many people are united about
25:12
this, and like think about how it was like ten years ago,
25:15
how much more silenced
25:18
Palestinians were. I feel like we
25:20
are making steps toward waking up
25:22
the world and hopefully with
25:24
enough people, world leaders
25:27
will I don't know, like
25:31
I don't know. I mean, it's just one worldly
25:33
it is literally just at this point,
25:36
you know, the yes,
25:41
there is sort of like a European you
25:43
know, consensus, but that
25:46
European consensus is cracking on
25:48
Israel. I mean you in
25:51
Europe, more and more and more you are
25:53
seeing people being like Israel
25:55
seems bad and
26:00
that doesn't really matter to the Israelis because
26:03
they have the biggest thug on the block,
26:05
the United States of America backing
26:10
them up. You know, with the
26:12
backing of the United States, they are
26:14
going to they're going to do exactly
26:17
like South Africa did that. They
26:19
don't give a shit. They can pass all the UN
26:21
resolutions they want, but apartheid
26:23
did not end until
26:26
fucking the United States
26:29
stopped backing South Africa.
26:33
And of course I think also the
26:35
Cubans actually helped a lot too. They like drove
26:38
you know, africaners out of Angola and stuff. Which
26:40
is pretty sick. So shout out to Cuba. I
26:42
wish Cuba was around now
26:45
and doing stuff like that. But yeah,
26:49
no, it's it's just like it's
26:53
being in the United States is like really
26:59
it really drives your care because you
27:01
see how the
27:03
Israel lobby has
27:06
completely made
27:10
this issue a non starter
27:13
for our elected representatives. And
27:15
you see, like the biggest
27:17
weakness of our democracy is
27:20
are allowing money
27:23
to dictate everything
27:26
like moneyed special interests have
27:28
They've always you know, been kind
27:30
of the thing that makes us undemocratic.
27:33
But nothing makes that more
27:36
like obvious than this
27:38
current situation, you know,
27:40
because this is a I think
27:45
from the poll numbers I've seen, it's just like a
27:47
vast majority of Americans
27:50
want a cease fire and it's
27:53
not even not
27:56
even made a
27:58
dent, you know. And and I
28:00
am starting to see some
28:03
people use stronger language
28:05
than humanitarian pause.
28:08
But we just have no leadership around it,
28:10
you know. Yeah, Bernie has decided,
28:12
Ah fuck it, I'm old. Fuck that guy. Fuck
28:14
that guy so hard before
28:16
I forget though, Let's take our first break belonged
28:19
too much drim duck, and
28:30
we're back and real quick, I just want
28:32
to point I just got an emailed that the anti racist
28:34
Dinner Party hosts Syrah
28:36
Rao and Regina Jackson were
28:39
dropped by CIA for having, uh
28:41
we basically saying that, you
28:44
know, Israel's comitting a genocide. I mean, like the
28:46
absolute performative
28:49
bullshit. We're saying, like, oh, you used
28:51
to be against racism unless it's unless
28:54
someone's sustling about Israel and then you drop them within
28:57
a second. Yes, yeah,
28:59
I mean racs bro. I
29:01
think more and more stories are
29:04
gonna come out about what's
29:07
happening, at least in the entertainment industry.
29:10
But just from the individual accounts
29:13
that I have heard from people, this
29:15
is a regular thing
29:18
that's happening. Agents
29:20
dropping their clients for you
29:22
know, tweeting something, Agencies
29:26
firing or demoting agents
29:29
for you know, yeah, for supporting
29:32
Palestine even in the most like mealy
29:34
mouth of language
29:37
managers just like you know,
29:39
saying I can't support you anymore.
29:43
It's just it's so egregious
29:47
and disgusting, and you
29:51
know it. On the one hand, it
29:53
of course worries me because like this
29:56
is absolutely having a chilling effect
29:58
on the entertainment can unity. I
30:00
mean, like there are
30:03
tons of comedians
30:05
and writers and fucking
30:08
actors who are just
30:11
saying they won't say a goddamn thing
30:14
because they don't want to be blacklisted essentially,
30:18
and that is
30:21
like, is so
30:26
yeah, it's chilling to me. It's chilling
30:28
to me. But on the other hand,
30:31
I'm seeing so much more
30:35
Palestinian solidarity than I ever have
30:37
before. And it does
30:40
feel like desperate,
30:43
Like the move feels desperate. It
30:45
feels yeah, there
30:47
they are. They are doing everything they
30:49
can and like you know, Israel
30:53
like bombing a hospital,
30:55
saying they didn't bomb a hospital and then being like,
30:57
Okay, we're bombing hospitals because we have to. Like
31:00
this feels like the same amount of like so
31:02
much, so fast is bound
31:05
to have a backlash. It's bound to have an effect.
31:07
And one of the effects I worry about is
31:09
of course, anti
31:12
Semitism, like real
31:15
anti semitism that is coming from
31:17
this like total
31:21
group think of just really
31:24
the entertainment industry is going
31:26
to be like we're fighting anti Semitism
31:29
by literally just being like,
31:31
oh, we all think the same, Yes, we
31:34
do, run Hollywood. That's what they that's what they're
31:36
doing. That is what they're saying, and
31:38
it is so disgusting
31:42
to watch
31:44
them participate in that, like, watch
31:47
them willingly put
31:49
Jews in a position where
31:52
they are going to be resented
31:54
and scorned in the entertainment industry
31:57
by people who are like, you know, uh,
32:00
fucking before
32:02
I wouldn't dream of having the anti
32:04
semitic thought of like, oh, the Jews run
32:06
Hollywood, and now these guys are like, no, let's
32:08
just let's make it feel like the Jews
32:11
run Hollywood, and it just
32:13
it fucking discuss me. It's
32:15
such an anti semitic tactic
32:18
in order to intimidate people into
32:20
not speaking, because the truth of it is
32:23
is that every if everyone just spoke, you
32:26
can't fire everyone. At the end of the
32:28
day, Hollywood, the people
32:30
run Hollywood are money people. That's
32:33
all that fucking matters. Butts and seats, people
32:35
who can sell tickets people. Is
32:38
the fucking content good enough people?
32:40
Uh? And like, just the
32:43
idea that anyone would take it
32:45
upon themselves to project
32:48
a the Jews run Hollywood
32:50
fucking thing where where they're
32:52
firing people for retweeting an
32:54
Onion article like
32:57
it is so abhorrent and
32:59
just disgusting to me that I,
33:02
I, oh, it's it pisses
33:04
me off, and they claim to care about anti Semitism.
33:07
Yeah, no, they're they're they're creating
33:09
a divide, and they're also like stirring
33:11
up Uh.
33:14
On top of all that, how do you
33:16
alienate all the people that you're
33:18
trying to sell stuff to, Because what I'm saying
33:20
is the majority of like real people, like
33:23
actual people. Yes, you're
33:25
pro Palestine and are against this
33:27
genocide. So it's like, oh, now you're going
33:29
to turn around and try and sell stuff to
33:31
these people who are like, oh, no, fuck
33:34
you, Like you think gal Gado
33:36
is going to make a hit movie. No,
33:39
people who hate gal Gado, Now,
33:43
I think it's really funny should get help with Well
33:46
she's she's never cold act anyway. But I think that
33:48
helps us that like the most repulsive celebrities
33:51
are Zionists like Brett Gellman.
33:55
Well that's here's the thing that I'm learning. All these
33:58
we're good, all these edge or who
34:00
are like this is my style of comedy, turns
34:02
out they're just racist. Yeah.
34:04
You know what the funniest thing about Brett Gilman is Brett
34:07
Gilman was instrumental
34:10
in being one of the people that got uh
34:13
that comedian slash
34:16
you know, ironic neo Nazi. Sam
34:18
Hyde got his adult
34:20
swim show taken off the air because
34:23
he was like, guys, this is fucking this
34:25
guy is an anti semi this guy is a racist.
34:27
Don't work with him. And I remember
34:29
being like, damn, like low key
34:32
respect. I mean, I don't know any much
34:34
about Sam Hide. And since
34:36
then I've like watched Sam Heide's content
34:39
and been like, uh, yeah,
34:41
this guy is some weird fucking like
34:44
uh, you know, too
34:46
ironic by half, like neo Nazi
34:49
shit like shit that I'm like, okay, I
34:51
don't this this guy's you know, you
34:54
know, so anyways, being like, well, good on
34:56
you for like standing up for you
34:58
know, h people
35:01
like Jews and and all
35:03
races and whatnot, and then watching
35:05
him just like shift to Israeli
35:09
nationalism. Uh is
35:11
just so like so
35:14
disgusting. It's so disgusting
35:17
and and and yeah, I mean it,
35:19
it is. It's
35:21
great to watch him blail though. Yeah,
35:24
now you're just showing that you're us, that you're racist
35:27
against Arabs and Middle Easterners
35:29
and Muslims. Like yeah,
35:32
also, just look at the demographics at both of these
35:34
rallies, Like just seriously, like the
35:37
pro Israel rally might as well have been a
35:39
KKK rally, like there's not like there's
35:41
no, there's so
35:44
and Van Jones speaking Van
35:47
Jones, I know the whole like beware
35:49
of Muslim thing. I don't know what the exact word he was,
35:52
but yeah, he was. No. He
35:54
he wanted to say, you know, uh
35:57
anti like he's like, beware
35:59
of anti Semitism, beware of anti Muslim
36:01
speak and whatnot. But but people were
36:03
already shouting no fire
36:05
at it, and he got he got
36:08
too scared to
36:10
say the words don't be anti
36:12
Muslim. They they literally
36:14
the crowd intimidated him
36:17
out of saying something that should
36:19
be ubiquitous
36:22
and fucking frankly like
36:24
like liberal fucking
36:27
identity politics shit, you know what I mean,
36:30
Like just like it's so obvious
36:32
to saybic
36:36
for them, for them, like
36:38
being Muslim on its
36:40
own isat
36:43
is anti Semitic, and it is anti Semitic
36:46
threat. And this is the thing
36:48
that I think a lot of American
36:52
Jews don't understand
36:57
that, at least American
37:00
Zionists that don't understand that, I know,
37:03
because they see
37:06
like Arabs talking about this and
37:08
they're like, I don't get it, Like
37:10
they're not even Palestinian, like, you
37:13
know, don't they know why
37:15
do they care? And it's because they
37:17
have a complete disconnect
37:21
from what the Israeli
37:23
state is, whereas
37:26
they see it as like it's a safe
37:28
haven for Jews, like they
37:30
don't understand. They think that the the
37:34
the Arab view on it is we
37:36
hate Israel because we hate Jews, rather
37:39
than it being like Israel
37:43
is explicitly anti
37:45
Arab, explicitly Islamophobic,
37:48
explicitly doing fucking
37:54
apartheid, and
37:57
Arabs take offense to that.
38:00
That is is that is not a strange
38:03
thing for Arabs to look at
38:05
that and be like, there's an apartheid
38:08
state that treats us as uh you
38:10
know, uh like people
38:13
whose lives aren't worth anything. Uh
38:15
So anyways, it's it's just like an
38:18
entire who openly
38:20
just says that, yes, exactly,
38:23
we don't think these are people. These are
38:25
not. And then everyone also is like
38:27
it must it's really complicated, right
38:30
right, and they're like, why do you guys
38:32
care? It must be because you hate
38:35
uh fucking it's because you
38:37
hate Jews, And I'm like, just
38:40
have an imagination reverse the
38:42
roles for a second. Reverse
38:44
the roles. What do you think world jewelry
38:47
would feel if they were the ones in Gaza,
38:49
if they were the ones in the West Bank
38:51
living in these little cantons surrounded
38:54
by settlers from uh,
38:56
you know, different Arab states from around
38:59
the world who could kick them
39:01
out of our homes. We would all
39:03
be like, I have a problem with this,
39:06
and you wouldn't. You wouldn't
39:08
be like, well, you're not even but
39:10
you're not from gossip,
39:13
like you know. I think it's
39:15
insane. I think something that
39:18
is really unfortunate that because
39:20
this is working because of like decades of dehumanization,
39:23
like the fact that like someone can see an Arabic
39:25
word and get like scared
39:27
or hear Arabic, Like that's all part
39:30
of why suddenly
39:33
that it's just demonized. It's like it's it
39:36
worked. Yeah. The last
39:38
thing I'll say about like how
39:41
Israel uses Jewishness
39:44
as like a shield. Essentially they use
39:46
the religion to pretend they're
39:48
not doing anything. But I was thinking about
39:50
how manipulative their flag is, Like
39:53
the flag of Israel has this like
39:55
holy symbol for so many people
39:57
on the planet, and so when you protest
40:00
Israel, when you want a boycott Israel and
40:02
you are talking about the flag.
40:05
A lot of people that don't know any better will
40:07
assume you are anti Jewish because they see
40:09
the Star of David. I was just thinking about
40:12
how fucking manipulative it is to like they
40:15
mean, I mean, there's the whole thing that, like
40:17
everything they accuse the Arabs of they
40:19
do themselves. It's like they are they're using Jewish
40:21
people as human shields, like literally in a way,
40:24
yes, yes, dred
40:26
percent, and it is like it's so it's
40:29
so disingenuous too, because like
40:32
you see the
40:34
the armor cracking a little bit with this, you
40:37
know, the these recent protests.
40:40
You know, so many Jewish groups,
40:43
American Jewish groups and
40:45
Jewish groups around the world who are against
40:48
apartheid Israel, who are pro
40:50
Palestinian, who are pro
40:53
peace, who are pro
40:55
democracy.
40:58
You know, so many of them are
41:00
going out in the streets and making their voices heard,
41:03
and you see the armor cracking because
41:05
they're like, no, no, no, no, this ruins
41:07
the narrative. A Jew who
41:09
says they are pro Palestinian
41:13
ruins the when you attack Israel,
41:15
you attack all Jews narrative. Which is why
41:18
you know, I
41:21
talk to my Jewish friends, and
41:23
you know, the ones who are on the fence, I tell
41:25
them, you know that
41:28
this is you understand that you
41:31
are being used here by the state
41:33
in order to continue their
41:35
criminal existence. And
41:38
they you know, some people take to it, some
41:40
people don't. But
41:42
you see, like the greatest thing
41:44
was the I think it was the editor of the
41:46
Jerusalem Post wrote
41:49
this piece that
41:51
was like, Oh, I hate to do this, but I think
41:53
it's time. I think it's time
41:55
to say we got to
41:57
excommunicate Jews who
42:00
don't stand with Israel. If you are a Jew
42:03
doesn't stand with Israel, you should be considered
42:05
no longer Jewish. Yeah, And I'm like, this is
42:07
such a bold faced
42:10
tactic, such a clear tactic
42:14
that is used to be like, well, then technically
42:17
you don't have any Jews
42:19
who are against Israel. All
42:21
Jews stand with Israel, because if you are Jewish
42:24
and do not stand with Israel, you are no longer
42:26
Jewish. It's so fucking clear
42:29
what he's doing there quite
42:32
anti semitic. It's insanely
42:34
antisemitic, insanely
42:37
like this is like what I think people don't
42:39
understand, Like Jews
42:42
out there who are worried about anti Semitism.
42:45
I feel you. I am also worried
42:47
about anti Semitism, which is why
42:50
I like am vehemently
42:53
pro Palestinian because
42:55
of the fact that Israel is
42:57
the number one exporter of anti
42:59
Semitism around the world. They
43:02
do nothing to help world
43:04
Jewelry. Their entire existence
43:07
is puts Jews at
43:09
risk because of the fact that they are doing
43:13
internationally recognized crimes.
43:16
Yeah, and like the idea
43:18
that, oh, well, they are a
43:21
safe haven if you know, if we ever
43:23
have to go there, It's like, they're
43:26
not. Yeah, we saw that on October
43:29
seventh. They're not. They put
43:31
in danger. Yes, they
43:33
constantly put their own people in danger.
43:36
It is not I love the idea
43:38
of like, oh, well, you know, Israel's
43:40
the safest place for Jews, And I'm just like, I'm
43:43
sorry, but I don't know how you can claim that with
43:45
a straight face. It is clearly not a safe
43:47
place for Jews. It is like
43:49
the existence of like
43:53
of Israel, like as a
43:55
as an apartheid state, is
43:58
very much mean that you are surrounded
44:01
by people who fucking hate you. And
44:03
you know, I don't excuse people's
44:06
like anti semitism, And I feel
44:08
like the idea that
44:11
like, you know, people
44:14
would say, oh, you know, anti
44:16
Zionists, they're all just excusing
44:19
anti semitism. It's like, no, I don't
44:21
I condemn anti semitism wherever
44:23
the fuck I see it. The difference is
44:26
is that when you see the
44:28
Israeli state acting anti semitically,
44:31
you do nothing. Yeah, you in
44:33
fact participate in it, and
44:36
that to me is unforgivable. You
44:39
are the ones participating in anti
44:41
Semitism by supporting an apartheid
44:43
state that put that makes
44:46
fucking you know, deals
44:48
with Victor or Bond in
44:50
Hungary, that you know, is like openly
44:53
anti democratic and is
44:55
constantly forcing
44:58
Jews to be loyal to Israel while
45:00
chastising Gentiles for saying, hey,
45:02
what's this? You know, it sounds like you
45:05
guys are loyal to Israel and it's
45:07
like you are doing the dual
45:09
loyalty trope. Motherfucker's
45:11
ugh it is anyway, Sorry, I'm yelling
45:14
a lot on this part. This is I'm usually
45:16
really like, I'm so funny.
45:18
I mostly talk about eating butts and I
45:21
do do pardy songs about the wire
45:23
Like that's like I'm
45:26
not I've just been it's
45:28
been you know, we've all been going crazy and
45:30
we all had to yell, you're clearly no longer Jewish,
45:32
according to I think, say it was Avi Bader
45:35
that Jerusalem Post. Yeah, yeah,
45:37
Avi something. Okay, let's take a quick
45:39
break and then I want to talk about some other
45:42
stuff that Israel is doing. Hell
45:44
yeah,
45:52
all right, we are back. I
45:54
do want to say, just on
45:56
the note that you were talking about, just how Israel
45:59
stokes Andy Summons is I'm left and right. I
46:01
mean conceptually what Israel
46:03
is is anti Semitic. To try and create
46:06
a very Eurocentric state for
46:08
Jews and then be like you
46:10
should all speak Hebrew and
46:13
sort of not speak Arabic or you know,
46:15
not speak Yiddish, not speak the language
46:17
of your original culture. Right
46:20
to turn away from that Jewish diversity,
46:23
that's anti Semitic, and to say
46:25
that it
46:27
is your duty to move there, It is your
46:29
duty to support
46:32
the state. The idea is tying
46:36
being Jewish and Judaism to
46:39
a state to a nation state,
46:41
which is a modern invention,
46:45
and like making that the
46:49
the height of expression
46:53
of your identity as a Jew is
46:56
anti semitic. It just is like the
46:59
idea that a diaspora
47:01
Jew is any less
47:03
Jewish uh than an
47:06
Israeli citizen, a
47:08
Jewish Israeli citizen. Is like, it's it's
47:10
just it's fucking ridiculous. And it's also
47:14
not only is it untrue, but it is
47:16
also clearly a
47:20
manipulative like tactic. And it's
47:23
yeah, you know, I this
47:25
idea of national like self determination
47:28
and whatnot is just it's a it's
47:30
to me, I look
47:32
at it as such a it's
47:36
another obfuscation
47:39
because it's like everyone says, well, Israel
47:41
has a right to exist, you know, and it's like what
47:44
was it? What state has a
47:46
right to exist? Like what
47:48
what? Yeah, people have
47:51
rights to exist, and like what
47:53
makes a Jewish state if what you're claiming
47:56
is like, hey, what's wrong with the Jewish state? If
47:58
you're saying a Jewish state has
48:01
to be majority Jewish
48:04
in order to be a Jewish state, that
48:07
kind of like ethno religious
48:10
nationalism is like
48:13
to me, I'm like, is that Jewish?
48:15
Is that what makes something Jewish? I don't
48:17
think it. I don't think it does. And also how
48:21
do you maintain that? Like if
48:23
you have a twenty percent minority
48:26
population of Arabs and
48:29
you're already worried
48:31
about birth rates, how are
48:34
you going to maintain your majority?
48:36
And the truth of it is is that
48:38
the plan is
48:41
displacement, and the
48:43
plan is just you know, driving
48:46
Arabs out of there. It's
48:49
and to me, I'm like, okay, well that's
48:51
number one, that's not a Jewish
48:53
state. To me, that's a fascist state. And
48:57
number two like this,
49:00
this is not something that
49:03
has a right to exist. No
49:07
criminal enterprise has the right to exist.
49:10
And you can you know, like the idea that
49:13
that Israel wouldn't be a Jewish
49:15
state if it allowed
49:20
everyone to be equal and allowed
49:23
both you know, Palestinians
49:25
living in the West Bank and in
49:27
Gaza and living as refugees
49:29
in Arab states and European
49:32
and America across the world to
49:34
return, the idea that it would no longer
49:36
be Jewish to me is like
49:39
that's that's an insane thing. Then
49:41
to me, no, that does not have
49:44
a right to exist. You don't have
49:46
the right to continue doing wrongs.
49:48
That's fucking insane. And you
49:52
know, so, I mean, I think it's very
49:54
telling that getting a DNA
49:56
test for an Israeli citizen is like nearly impossible.
49:58
They like make it like almost so legal to have
50:01
a citizen due DNA test because it just
50:03
will prove they're probably from Europe.
50:05
But yeah, and also, like
50:08
you know, the idea
50:10
of like, it's so funny to me
50:12
because like the
50:15
idea of Jews
50:18
being homogeneous,
50:21
all being the same, you know,
50:23
is like number one anti
50:25
Semitic in and of itself an
50:28
a historic and number two
50:31
is just like convenient
50:33
cover for doing
50:38
very European style colonizing,
50:42
like very nineteenth
50:45
century early twentieth century
50:48
colonization tactics and saying no, no, no,
50:50
but Jews, you know, we're all the
50:52
same, We're all Arab,
50:55
we're all you know, from you
50:57
know, all over the Mina,
51:00
and we were never from Ukraine
51:03
to begin with. And it's just like this,
51:06
it's just fucking ridiculous. It's just
51:08
it's so ahistoric. Well,
51:11
in nineteen seventeen, I did an episode about
51:14
this that I could happen here if you guys want to learn more.
51:16
But before the balfloor
51:18
De Declaration, before that,
51:21
Jews made up six percent of the land of
51:23
Palestine, That's right, six percent. So
51:26
it was a very systematic population
51:29
growth that they did on purpose. It wasn't
51:31
like this natural thing that just
51:33
happened. It was it was a movement,
51:36
a Zionist movement, was you
51:38
know, people moving there either
51:41
because they were trying to
51:44
you know, escape what was going on in
51:46
Europe, and you know, Europe was incredibly
51:48
anti Semitic, or you
51:51
know, people who were
51:54
of means in
51:57
England who wanted
51:59
to and got permission to do a little
52:02
colonization project of their own. Valfour
52:04
was an anti semi and he wanted to solve his
52:06
quote unquote Jewish problem, Like that's why
52:08
he decided, like it's rooted in
52:11
extreme anti Semitism to literally
52:13
be like, let's just take the Jewish problem in
52:15
his words, right, put it in the Middle East,
52:18
out of Europe. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
52:20
and and no completely and
52:22
and it was it's just, uh, you
52:25
know, the project in and of itself is
52:28
just a dinosaur
52:30
of an idea that
52:33
has been remolded
52:35
because you know, they they happened to do a
52:37
colonial project at
52:41
the time of mass decolonization
52:43
around the world. And
52:45
so once decolonization
52:49
became kind of the norm, people, you
52:51
know, Israelis and Zionists were like,
52:53
Okay, we're gonna have to kind of like shift the narrative
52:56
here. It's like this is no longer about colonization,
52:58
which they explicitly and openly stated
53:00
early on. I mean this was they use the
53:02
words, they used the word colony,
53:05
colonizing, you know, colonization. They
53:07
use all the same tropes, you know, we will, we
53:10
will bring the indigenous people,
53:12
you know, all the you know, the
53:14
wonders of our genius
53:16
and Western civilization and all that stuff, and
53:18
they had to switch it to no, no, no, we
53:22
are the indigenous folks actually, and
53:25
everyone else is just a wandering Arab
53:28
who just happened to land here. Yeah,
53:32
which is the whole state projects
53:34
which you just do like one quick google mm
53:36
hmm, and it completely
53:39
debunks all of that. Also,
53:41
just like even reading like what Shrane was saying is
53:43
like, oh, like had
53:46
things been different, Israel
53:48
could have been in Africa, right,
53:51
could have been completely somewhere else, so like that
53:53
state, So then what like then
53:56
you guys would have been indigenous to Africa, Like
53:58
what is the what I mean? I
54:00
think if we had, if we had
54:04
colonized Uganda, I think
54:06
we would have a much easier time
54:10
like the rest of the world,
54:13
Like Americans would have a much easier time
54:15
seeing Israel for what it Is. They'd
54:18
be like, oh, there is this thing
54:20
in Uganda where the Jews
54:24
a minority of it would look like exactly
54:26
like apartheid rather than what it
54:28
looks like now, which you can you know,
54:31
argue, oh, well, it's not apartheid
54:33
because you know, fifty percent of the Jewish
54:35
population of Israel is from you know, other
54:38
Arab states, or or the
54:40
descendants of people from other Arab states. You
54:42
know, you could, you could it's
54:45
it's not as black and white because
54:47
literally it's not black people versus
54:49
white people, which is I think one of the is
54:52
used by Zionis as
54:54
like a way to distances, Oh,
54:56
we're not we're not doing apartheid. You
54:58
know. It's like yeah, roads are
55:01
separate, but that's just uh, you know, that's
55:04
just that's security. It's security.
55:07
We got to do security. And of course security concerns
55:09
was the concern of africaners
55:12
and in uh South
55:14
Africa and uh former Rhodesia.
55:17
You know, it's just like, well security, you
55:19
know if we can't have equality,
55:21
because then we won't be safe. You know. That's
55:23
how cops were made, like literally that's how the
55:25
police were like they wanted to protect us from slavery,
55:28
the sleeves were going to revolt, Like yeah, exactly.
55:31
That's every single movement
55:34
for uh, you know, justice
55:37
and freedom and you know, equity and
55:40
people like breaking literal
55:43
or figurative chains has always
55:45
been met with people going, well,
55:49
what if they attack us, you
55:51
know, and just right,
55:54
and and you have to like because
55:56
they know they're guilty, because they know what they did
55:59
was bad. It's like, you
56:02
shouldn't have to
56:04
militarize yourself like that if what you were
56:06
doing was just you shouldn't have to
56:09
destroy a land that you claim
56:12
is holy to you. Like, it really doesn't
56:14
compute to me how
56:17
Zionists like actually explain it to themselves
56:19
in their head. And I think it's
56:22
really unsettling because you
56:24
see people that you know, like
56:26
still buy into it, and it's like, yeah,
56:29
it's like the classic progressive except Palestine
56:32
thing, but it's like ten times over,
56:34
yeah, yeah, yeah, And it's
56:36
it's you know, focusing
56:39
more you know, back onto like America
56:42
and Americans kind of like views of
56:44
it. It's just like the
56:47
work is still that
56:50
needs to be done in order to kind
56:52
of separate the
56:55
state of Israel from Jews
56:58
around the world. Is like there's still
57:00
a lot of work that needs to be done.
57:03
I mean, it's just there needs
57:05
to be a you
57:07
know, a divorce, an
57:10
official divorce between
57:13
the State of Israel and world
57:16
Jewelry. We need to, like
57:19
because until we do that,
57:22
we're never going to be able to,
57:27
you know, to put Israel
57:29
into the into the
57:32
place that it deserves to be, like
57:34
like the category of criminal
57:37
enterprise. You know. It's like, we
57:39
need to be able to
57:42
to stop the obfuscation
57:45
that's done by Zionists
57:47
and be like, no, this is not about anti
57:50
Semitism. This is not about hating
57:53
Jews. This is not about not wanting
57:55
Jews to be safe. This is
57:58
a fucking apartheid
58:00
state. It isn't been called in apartheid
58:03
state by Human
58:05
Rights Watch, by Amnesty
58:08
International, by fucking
58:13
but to sell them in Israel,
58:17
yesh Din in Israel. These are
58:19
human rights organizations
58:22
in Israel that are like, yeah,
58:24
that's what we're doing. It's apartheid.
58:27
And the idea that those
58:31
you know, organizations
58:34
lose all legitimacy
58:37
because oh, well, you know, they
58:39
talked about Israel, so I guess
58:41
they're just anti Semitic. Like that's fucking ridiculous
58:44
and that can only be something
58:46
that anyone takes seriously because
58:49
I think a lot of us continue to conflate
58:52
Israel and Jews. Yeah, and
58:54
that needs that conflation needs to end.
58:58
Yeah, and stuff, I
59:00
mean a lot to eat.
59:03
But why
59:05
I've said this before, but I think that's why, like
59:09
a Jewish anti Zionists are like one of the
59:11
most important groups when it comes
59:13
to the pro Palestine movement, because
59:15
a lot of stuff that non Jewish people say
59:17
gets disregarded as being anti
59:21
anti Semitic. So I think I always
59:23
go back to that because it's
59:26
it's the same fight, you know, It's
59:28
it's there's no division of
59:31
religion or anything. It's like literally like an oppressed
59:33
versus an oppressor. And anyone
59:35
with a brain can fucking see that. Yes,
59:39
And anyone who like has
59:41
the ability to you
59:44
know, to have abstract thought, you
59:46
can see that one who can deduce,
59:49
anyone who can deduce. And because
59:52
like the thought experiment of
59:55
what if roles were reversed, which
59:58
is fucking a child old can
1:00:00
do this, What if roles were reversed,
1:00:02
how would you feel? Well, it's
1:00:05
like a sake a version of like white people want to be impressed
1:00:07
so bad, Like that's what it feels like to me, you know, honestly,
1:00:10
I will say
1:00:12
this to you guys and to your audience.
1:00:14
There is a lot of that what I
1:00:17
have seen in the past month
1:00:19
of like white
1:00:23
Jewish colleagues and friends,
1:00:25
possibly former friends
1:00:30
putting this like
1:00:33
situation in Israel and
1:00:36
in the context of this is our George
1:00:39
Floyd has been
1:00:41
like, it's shocked
1:00:44
me. It's shocked me, and
1:00:46
and I feel like it's
1:00:48
so hard to like
1:00:53
it's hard to talk about because
1:00:55
of the fact that it's so embarrassing.
1:00:58
It's so embarrassing for me to
1:01:02
watch people
1:01:04
that I like, respected,
1:01:07
people that like I'm friends
1:01:09
with family like
1:01:13
just decide two
1:01:16
make total fools of themselves,
1:01:18
right, and and are
1:01:21
like, just it's
1:01:23
embarrassing for me. It's so embarrassing.
1:01:26
I I like, I can't it
1:01:29
makes us all look
1:01:33
foolish, you know what I mean, Like,
1:01:35
like, you know, I just I
1:01:38
can't stand it. I can't stand
1:01:40
it. The fact that you would openly
1:01:43
be transactional like that where
1:01:45
you're openly just like or
1:01:48
openly delusional. And
1:01:51
I think a lot of it too, like a lot of my you
1:01:53
know, anger
1:01:57
and resentment
1:01:59
and and also you know just kind
1:02:02
of righteous indignation
1:02:04
or whatever the fuck stems
1:02:06
from just becoming
1:02:08
a dad like a year ago, and
1:02:12
you know, like you can only
1:02:14
see so many dead
1:02:17
kids and parents mourning
1:02:21
their dead kids, holding
1:02:23
their dead kids before you
1:02:25
just crack. And
1:02:27
when I see people
1:02:30
excusing that because
1:02:34
they're like, well, Hamas
1:02:36
did that to our
1:02:39
kids, you know, I'm
1:02:42
just like, you've lost
1:02:45
You've lost all humanity in this,
1:02:48
You've lost all humanity. You can
1:02:50
be against a terrorist
1:02:52
organization and an act of terrorism
1:02:55
all you want, but as soon as
1:02:57
you start excuse
1:03:00
using that kind of brutality
1:03:02
as like, hey, this is the collateral
1:03:05
damage and like and
1:03:07
for what to carry water
1:03:09
for a fucking criminal
1:03:12
apartheid state that wouldn't
1:03:14
protect you for a second, that wouldn't
1:03:17
protect you for a second, does not
1:03:19
protect you currently. That
1:03:22
is existence is
1:03:25
predicated on like
1:03:29
fucking nineteenth century
1:03:31
attitudes of British colonists,
1:03:35
Like what the fuck, man,
1:03:37
It's just so gross to me, and it's like
1:03:39
I just can't there was
1:03:41
you know, the Yeah,
1:03:44
there's just too many videos
1:03:47
and interviews with doctors
1:03:50
who are dying, you know, or
1:03:52
who ended up dying and
1:03:55
you know, trying to just
1:03:57
heal children, and
1:03:59
I'm just like, I don't
1:04:01
know how you can excuse this. I don't know in what
1:04:03
world the amount of delusion that you need to
1:04:05
have in order to excuse this is just unforgivable
1:04:08
to me. But it's because of Hamma's whole
1:04:10
situation. Is is a real, uh truly
1:04:13
unwell way of thinking to
1:04:15
a point where like, yeah, I have seen
1:04:18
so many dead Palestinian children
1:04:20
that I am actually becoming quite
1:04:22
desensitized to it. When before I was like,
1:04:25
oh my god, I can't even look at this. Now I'm like, Okay,
1:04:27
let's let's see what's happening here, Like it
1:04:29
doesn't affect me like it used to, because now
1:04:32
I've been I've seen so much
1:04:35
yeah, like disturbing
1:04:38
that I'm like hm hm okay, yeah, we need to share
1:04:40
this. People need to share this. I don't care if anyone needs
1:04:42
a trigger warning. You just need to see this. Yeah,
1:04:45
it's you know what, the way, it's not disturbing
1:04:47
to me. And I'm jealous And I miss
1:04:49
those days because I'll be you know, honest with you.
1:04:51
Before I had a kid, I could
1:04:55
watch like one
1:04:57
of my favorite fucking Instagram
1:05:00
channels was kids getting hurt, so
1:05:03
it would be like a kid like like falling.
1:05:07
Yeah, well no, it's they're not dying,
1:05:09
they're just it's just
1:05:11
you know, they'll like kick a kickball
1:05:14
and it'll hits hid in the face
1:05:16
and it's very funny. Uh, or
1:05:19
like you know, a kid who's excited here's the ice
1:05:22
ice cream truck and then he falls his
1:05:25
chair and I was like, this
1:05:27
is you know, And I could watch movies and
1:05:30
you know TV shows
1:05:32
that had like you know, tragedy
1:05:34
befalling children and I wouldn't really
1:05:36
feel anything. It was just so I don't
1:05:39
know, like all of it
1:05:41
was very theoretical, Uh, before
1:05:44
I had a kid. Now, I can't fucking watch
1:05:47
a h like a
1:05:49
fucking shitty TV show that
1:05:52
has a kid getting hurt without turning
1:05:54
it off immediately. Like I'm just so
1:05:57
sensitive to the idea of
1:05:59
a kid feeling any pain at all. So
1:06:01
when you see actual footage
1:06:04
of what's happening to Gossen's,
1:06:07
it's just like it's
1:06:10
horrible and horrifying and
1:06:12
infuriating and h and
1:06:15
I I wish I could
1:06:17
become immune to it, because
1:06:19
then I would, uh, you
1:06:21
know, I wouldn't be so
1:06:24
anxious all the time. But I'm yeah, it's
1:06:28
very anxious. I understand
1:06:30
that. And like and just in
1:06:32
terms of like the
1:06:35
dehumanization of Palestinians
1:06:39
is I think so disturbing
1:06:43
to me because that
1:06:46
the way that people are doing
1:06:49
Islamophobia now is so sloppy.
1:06:52
Yeah, it's so it's not
1:06:54
even accurate. It's not like Palestine
1:06:58
accurate. It's just saying hamas isis
1:07:00
it's like well righthobic, right,
1:07:04
and and it's saying it's basically
1:07:06
just like whatever scary
1:07:11
nine to eleven version you have of Arabs,
1:07:13
Yeah, that's Palestinians. And
1:07:16
it's it's it's ignorant, like at
1:07:19
the very least, Israelis
1:07:23
have a very pointed racism towards
1:07:26
Palestinians. The way Americans
1:07:28
do it, it is just your
1:07:31
fucking classic like
1:07:34
oh they're you know, they're they all
1:07:37
they're all cutting heads off and
1:07:39
saying hassan chop, you know, like it's
1:07:41
a fucking bugs bunny carts. Yeah.
1:07:44
Uh. And like when
1:07:47
you actually know
1:07:50
any Palestinians and you know, uh,
1:07:52
fucking you know, like these
1:07:56
guys are not and not to I'm not dehumanizing,
1:07:59
uh, but like they're not rural
1:08:02
Afghan farmers. That's what people
1:08:05
Americans see when they are like,
1:08:07
oh, yeah, these guys are all, you
1:08:10
know, old turbaned
1:08:14
like uh Afghan
1:08:17
farmers with AK forty seven's
1:08:19
and what it's like cartoon. It's like a cartoon.
1:08:22
Uh. Not that they deserve
1:08:24
to be dehumanized either, But
1:08:27
then you look at like these videos
1:08:29
of Gazans who
1:08:31
are forced to do a fucking trail of
1:08:34
tears to South Gaza. Yeah,
1:08:36
and they are just they got fucking
1:08:39
they got their their cats and they
1:08:42
got birds, and they're wearing
1:08:44
backpacks and they're fucking wearing a Nautica
1:08:47
shirt. And you realize that, like,
1:08:49
these are just fucking people. These
1:08:52
are not even like like you
1:08:54
know this, They're not They're
1:08:56
not even close to the
1:08:59
image that you were trying to portray of them.
1:09:02
And the fact that you don't
1:09:04
even have to be careful
1:09:06
about your racism in
1:09:09
America when it comes to anti Arab racism
1:09:11
is so it's just so telling because
1:09:15
everyone who's criticizing
1:09:17
Israel has to be so careful,
1:09:21
careful how you do it, how
1:09:24
you say it. What is what
1:09:26
is a stereotype? You know, like
1:09:29
don't talk about Jewish
1:09:33
money. You know, you
1:09:35
can talk about the Israel lobby, just don't
1:09:37
mention that they use money to do lobbying,
1:09:40
you know, right,
1:09:45
You know, you have to be very very
1:09:47
careful. And but if you're
1:09:49
a Zionist or a supporter of Israel,
1:09:52
you don't even have to have the right stereotype.
1:09:55
You can just be like they're animals.
1:09:58
Yeah, and they can they take the you know,
1:10:00
they do a lot of things where they take the word like jihad
1:10:03
and just manipulate it to a point where it's
1:10:06
just like yes or martyr, yeah,
1:10:08
oh, martyr, from the river to the seat. They take
1:10:10
everything, everything, everything,
1:10:12
and like this, the the the
1:10:15
focus on semantics,
1:10:17
the focus on the correct words,
1:10:20
you will never be able to
1:10:23
find the correct words. And
1:10:26
because of that kind of tone
1:10:28
policing, people
1:10:31
are just gonna say, well fuck you, and
1:10:34
there will be people who will be saying
1:10:36
some pretty anti Semitic ass ship and
1:10:39
because why not, Because at
1:10:41
this point we can't even say
1:10:43
words that rhyme. You
1:10:45
can't say from the river to the sea. You can't
1:10:47
say Palestine will be free.
1:10:50
Yeah, whoa Every slogan
1:10:52
is like that seed shining sea.
1:10:56
Where does the
1:10:59
idea? Yeah, that like Every
1:11:03
single peaceful phrase
1:11:07
that has ever been uttered on
1:11:10
behalf of the Palestinians or from
1:11:12
the Palestinians is secretly
1:11:14
a call to Jewish genocide. Is
1:11:17
just it's so, it's
1:11:20
just fake and it is it
1:11:23
is meant to keep
1:11:25
you in your head trying
1:11:28
to find the right phrase. Everything.
1:11:30
It's like remember the Gretathrenburg.
1:11:33
Yes, it
1:11:36
was a plushy. Yeah, there was a fucking
1:11:38
plushy. She
1:11:41
was pro Palestine and she was needed
1:11:43
an anti summit, a Semitic right
1:11:45
semitic anti semi excuse me, Yeah,
1:11:47
it makes no
1:11:51
insane adult a fucking
1:11:53
plushy that every fucking child has
1:11:55
because it's an octopus and yeah,
1:11:58
and it's just like so bad faith. And honestly,
1:12:00
it just like it's
1:12:03
open season if you're a fucking Nazi. Yeah
1:12:06
you know what I mean, if you're an actual Nazi,
1:12:09
Oh you don't give a fuck, Like
1:12:11
like, these guys are fucking you
1:12:13
can You've made regular
1:12:17
people be cynical
1:12:19
of the idea of anti Semitism where they're
1:12:21
never not even going to be sensitive to it anymore.
1:12:24
And I don't blame them. I don't blame
1:12:26
people for just being like, ah, fuck it. You
1:12:28
guys say everything we say is wrong. All I'm doing
1:12:30
is crying over fucking Palestinian dead
1:12:33
children, and you're calling me an anti semi
1:12:36
Well everything you say is bullshit, And
1:12:38
so I like, I have trouble. Yeah,
1:12:43
yeah, it really is. You have desensitized
1:12:46
something that is
1:12:49
actually quite evil to
1:12:51
a point where now it
1:12:54
is being used. Yeah,
1:12:56
now people by people who are taking advantage
1:12:58
of an opportunity. Yes, yes, and
1:13:01
and people. And you know, you've
1:13:04
made all of
1:13:06
these other struggles,
1:13:11
uh, you've made them all
1:13:14
less strong. The idea
1:13:16
that you're like putting a
1:13:20
a gay flag in
1:13:22
Gaza and flying it around and being
1:13:24
like this is the first you know, lgbt
1:13:27
Q flag flown in Gaza.
1:13:30
You you are actively hurting all
1:13:32
these other struggles by trying
1:13:34
to tie it in to your
1:13:37
criminal enterprise. And I like, I
1:13:39
look at that, and I go like that is It's just it's
1:13:41
so ah, it's
1:13:44
just so disgusting to me. It's so disgusting.
1:13:46
And you know, like you're
1:13:50
yeah, it's just it's gross.
1:13:52
It's all it's all gross, guys, It's just it.
1:13:55
You know, the only thing that makes me hopeful
1:13:57
is that Israel seems
1:13:59
to have lost
1:14:05
the ability
1:14:07
to pretend anymore.
1:14:10
Yeah. And I think like
1:14:12
even like CNN,
1:14:15
you know, when they're doing their like Hasbara
1:14:18
talking points, they'll interview a
1:14:20
guy and they'll be like, but I
1:14:22
mean, should you buy my hospital? You
1:14:24
know, like they'll like and and you
1:14:26
know, the they can't answer
1:14:29
that question to the satisfaction
1:14:31
I think of the viewers. And I think the viewers and
1:14:33
even the anchors are like, oh, good,
1:14:36
like you from
1:14:40
Orders and they're like, but you were scared of the Gossins
1:14:42
and she exactly and
1:14:44
saved my life. It's like, but would you wouldn't
1:14:46
go back though? Right? She's like, I got my ticket
1:14:49
right now, I'm going back. Yeah, I would go immediately.
1:14:51
Yeah. Like everything was like they're
1:14:53
trying so hard in every person who's
1:14:55
now knows the game, they
1:14:57
knows what the media. They knows, they know the
1:15:00
media is trying to do. And now you have to go in with
1:15:02
such a strategic plan that
1:15:04
they can't fuck you over in this interview while at the
1:15:06
same time not pulling the plug yeah
1:15:09
yeah, or editing it to death
1:15:12
genocide yeah yeah.
1:15:14
And and and I see, like for
1:15:17
me, it's funny
1:15:19
watching Pierce Morgan Uh,
1:15:22
that's that was something I was not expecting. I will,
1:15:24
I gotta say, you can Candice
1:15:27
Hename, what's her names
1:15:31
also like oh yeah, it's a genocide and you're
1:15:33
like, what the fuck do we have these people on our side?
1:15:35
I know. Well that's the other disgusting thing about
1:15:37
it is just you know, now you get you
1:15:40
know, just the most bad faith
1:15:42
like most likely fucking
1:15:45
to be real anti Semis
1:15:47
like also being there. And my thought
1:15:50
on that is like they're not allowed at the march.
1:15:52
Fuck them, no, And I
1:15:54
don't care about their little propaganda
1:15:56
war and trying to get a bite of the Nazi apple. They
1:15:59
need a dick. Ask Cannice Owens
1:16:01
to come speak in a march, you know what I mean? Yeah,
1:16:03
exactly exactly. But
1:16:06
fucking you know, like
1:16:09
Pierce Morgan is to me was a
1:16:11
great example of you're seeing someone who
1:16:15
you can tell that he is doing
1:16:18
a thing where he's going, I
1:16:21
Am going to be playing
1:16:23
the part of guy
1:16:26
doing Hasbara talking points. But
1:16:29
then when he interviews people like
1:16:31
Basim Yusef or like Hassan
1:16:34
Piker or you know
1:16:36
whatever, you know Israeli talking
1:16:39
you know, mouthpiece that he has on you
1:16:43
can see the fact that he's actually allowing
1:16:47
like Hassan and uh
1:16:49
uh bass him to speak. Yeah
1:16:52
you can. I can tell that
1:16:56
what he's doing here, like he's going to continue
1:16:58
his but what about? But what about? But
1:17:01
he's not going to do a good job of selling
1:17:03
it. Like I almost feel like it's on purpose.
1:17:05
He's not doing a good job of he's
1:17:08
letting himself get dragged. And I think it's
1:17:10
because he's playing a game where he knows he
1:17:12
has to do the fucking talking
1:17:14
points. But
1:17:18
there's nowhere in there does it say
1:17:20
you also have to talk over the
1:17:23
guest while they're talking back.
1:17:26
And I feel like that is a
1:17:28
surprising thing from Piers Morgan,
1:17:31
who is you know, by all accounts, a
1:17:33
fucking knob. But like he
1:17:36
I will say that, like that does seem to be
1:17:38
a little bit of It's
1:17:41
like some people in mainstream
1:17:43
media are doing
1:17:46
a little like like signaling to
1:17:48
me, these little cracks in the armor where
1:17:50
they are going they're asking a
1:17:52
blunt question and they're getting
1:17:55
a terrible answer. I mean,
1:17:57
and I think that is you
1:18:00
know, the silver lining is that I see
1:18:02
it cracking and
1:18:05
I hope for the best, and all I can
1:18:08
really hope for is that Americans
1:18:13
wake up to the
1:18:15
fact that this is a
1:18:18
genocide, in that Israel is an
1:18:21
apartheid state, and
1:18:23
I hope American Jews can,
1:18:27
you know, start more and
1:18:29
more speaking up about it, you
1:18:31
know. I it
1:18:33
used to be for a while when
1:18:36
I was younger, I was very
1:18:39
resentful of anyone who would talk to American
1:18:41
Jews and be like, you have to say something, because
1:18:44
I'd be like, actually, it's anti Semitic for you to ask
1:18:46
me to do anything other than live. But
1:18:49
then, you know, in private with Jews,
1:18:52
I would say to them, we got to say something.
1:18:55
We got it, like, this is something we you
1:18:57
know, we can't just keep having this insular converse
1:19:00
with each other while on the
1:19:02
outside publicly we carry
1:19:04
water for the Israeli
1:19:07
government. We can't. It can't
1:19:09
just be this insular like among Jews
1:19:11
we talk about how Israel's racist
1:19:13
is shit, and then in public
1:19:16
we chastise anyone, especially
1:19:19
if they're Jewish, for saying it in public,
1:19:21
like keep that shit in the fucking group chat,
1:19:23
you know. And
1:19:25
now I've like come to the point where I'm
1:19:28
just like, you know, I will say
1:19:30
not just in public this stuff, but
1:19:33
to other Jews, like, Hey, American
1:19:35
Jews, it is our
1:19:38
part of privilege, the
1:19:41
privilege that we have to
1:19:44
it's using your privilege for good. We've always
1:19:46
talked about this when it came to Black Lives matter,
1:19:48
and we've always talked about it with everything else. Well,
1:19:50
now is the chance for you to truly use
1:19:53
your privilege for good. Not that it wasn't
1:19:55
before, but let's be honest. If you're in fucking
1:19:58
you know, San Francisco, U or
1:20:00
you know, any other liberal bastion and
1:20:02
you're saying black lives matter, like the majority
1:20:04
of the elect electorate probably agrees with you.
1:20:07
You know, is there a liberal
1:20:09
standpoint? But this is
1:20:12
a point in which you can use your privilege.
1:20:15
And it is a privilege that we have because
1:20:17
literally, we can move to Israel if we want
1:20:19
to. If we want to, we can move,
1:20:22
and we can displace a family
1:20:24
and we can continue carving
1:20:27
up the West Bank if we want to.
1:20:30
That is a privilege, and
1:20:32
you can speak out
1:20:34
against it and say not
1:20:37
in my fucking name, and you
1:20:39
have that privilege to do it. And
1:20:41
if we all fucking just wake up,
1:20:44
then you know, maybe we
1:20:46
can stop supporting that state. Anyways.
1:20:50
Amen, Amen to that I
1:20:52
feel like I joked around early
1:20:55
on about talking over you guys, and then
1:20:57
I spent this whole time. I
1:21:00
think the best podcast guest lets
1:21:02
me not talk, you know what I mean. That's
1:21:06
how I feel on my The Wire podcast,
1:21:08
I find myself talking too much and then I'm like,
1:21:10
oh, this is gonna be the worst episode. Yeah,
1:21:13
but we brought
1:21:15
you on for a reason. We love your brain and how
1:21:17
it works and your really important.
1:21:21
Thanks. But
1:21:23
for the people that don't know where to find
1:21:25
you, where can people find you? I'm
1:21:28
on Instagram at matt leib
1:21:30
jokes and
1:21:33
that I'm doing a bunch of videos
1:21:35
that are satirical takes on Zionis,
1:21:37
talking points and stuff, and you
1:21:40
know, you can check those out if you like
1:21:42
The Sopranos or The Wire. I
1:21:45
do a TV rewatch podcast called Pod
1:21:47
Yourself a Gun and
1:21:50
it is right now we're doing The Wire. We've
1:21:53
done all of the Sopranos, so you
1:21:55
can listen to that. I do a lot of
1:21:57
parody songs of you
1:21:59
know, for every episode. It is
1:22:02
fucking stupid and takes
1:22:05
a lot of time, and it's usually my
1:22:07
brand, and you know, I
1:22:09
will say that anti Zionism is maybe
1:22:12
my brand once every couple of years
1:22:15
when Israel starts bombing
1:22:17
Gaza and now
1:22:19
it's just taken over my fucking brain, so you
1:22:22
know, but still listen
1:22:25
to my podcast and I love you guys,
1:22:27
and you guys have both been guests on it, and I want
1:22:29
to say too, I love you guys so
1:22:32
fucking much, and I
1:22:35
feel for you guys in
1:22:38
a way that I can't like totally even
1:22:41
put into words because of
1:22:43
just
1:22:45
just how disgusting
1:22:49
that it must be to like watching
1:22:52
America like turn
1:22:55
back into this post nine to eleven fucking
1:22:59
anti Arab, anti brown
1:23:02
person place, you know, where anyone
1:23:05
from the Middle East is like it
1:23:07
is now become okay again to
1:23:09
just completely dehumanize you and
1:23:11
to rob you of your
1:23:14
careers or your future or whatever the fuck.
1:23:18
And I like, uh, I'm
1:23:21
just I love that that it
1:23:23
doesn't call you guys and
1:23:25
it doesn't stop you from
1:23:28
expressing yourselves. And I think that is
1:23:32
way more brave
1:23:35
than me doing my satirical
1:23:37
videos. So
1:23:40
yeah, I just I love you guys. I
1:23:43
mean, I won't lie to you. It's
1:23:45
dark, man, It's dark
1:23:47
out here. It's dark. That's
1:23:50
really nice to say, though. Thanks for saying
1:23:52
that, I think, like every
1:23:54
day is a panic y yeah, and
1:23:58
we I do fear for my family and the
1:24:00
people I know, you know what I mean, Like it's like post
1:24:02
nine to eleven, my mom has my mom was still
1:24:04
covering her hair, and I remember as a kid
1:24:06
being like, is my mom going to be safe
1:24:08
when she walks round in the mall or whatever
1:24:11
it is. And I think the
1:24:13
fear that a lot of American Zionists
1:24:16
are projecting into the world about
1:24:18
like them being in danger, like I really
1:24:20
feel that way for the Arab community.
1:24:23
Like everything. I feel like every Zionist
1:24:25
talking point is sometimes just a projection
1:24:29
what it is, and that's and so when I
1:24:31
when I see like Amy Schumer
1:24:34
or whatever the fuck posting about how unsafe
1:24:36
they feel, it's truly like just
1:24:39
a slap in the face because it's just the most
1:24:43
privileged outlook in the world.
1:24:46
And it is really unsettling to
1:24:49
regress this far back to
1:24:51
like the pre or the post nine to eleven talking
1:24:54
points. But I think the reality
1:24:57
is it was always there. We just kind of covered it up
1:24:59
with other things, and now people are allowed to express
1:25:01
it again, and it never really went away. That's what
1:25:03
it feels like it feels like it never really went
1:25:05
away. Yeah, and it's
1:25:09
it's shocking because although
1:25:12
it never went away in some quarters,
1:25:15
it was definitely
1:25:17
frowned upon in liberal
1:25:20
areas. Yes, And
1:25:22
the fact that you have so
1:25:25
called liberals liberal
1:25:28
Zionists just adopting
1:25:31
the same genocidal language,
1:25:34
the same dehumanizing language as
1:25:38
Israel is like, yeah,
1:25:41
I can imagine. That's fucking shocking because
1:25:43
now it's not just some red
1:25:45
state troll on the internet. It's like your
1:25:48
friend saying that, yeah,
1:25:51
yeah, yeah,
1:25:54
yeah, it's it's real.
1:25:56
And also, universities can go fuck themselves.
1:25:59
I know the way you're treating I
1:26:02
mean, there are a bunch of fucking cowards. They've always been
1:26:04
cowards, and you
1:26:06
know it is it's very
1:26:09
funny to see them continue
1:26:12
to be cowards. But
1:26:14
no, it is. It's awful too, but
1:26:17
you know their rackets.
1:26:19
Anyways, the idea
1:26:22
of paying any of these fucking institutions
1:26:24
for an education and watching what they do, I'm
1:26:27
just like, fuck you don't.
1:26:30
I didn't get a job because I went to college. True,
1:26:33
it's true. I did a lot of heroin
1:26:35
though, so that was sick. Save
1:26:39
that for episode when you come back. We'll save
1:26:41
that to all of that for next time. Yes,
1:26:44
but seriously, it
1:26:46
was so lovely to talk to you. You are we
1:26:49
We love you just as much as you love us, which
1:26:51
I hope is a lot. Uh,
1:26:54
Yeah, that's easy. I
1:26:58
love you guys. It's Ethnically
