And if not, now it's ook 497 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 3: at another level, not in competition or anything, but like 498 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 3: that identifying that there's also something in our culture and 499 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 3: how we were raised that needs to be addressed and 500 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 3: that we need to unlearn the things that we were 501 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 3: raised with throughout our lives. And so it's very much 502 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: inward and it's very much more youth oriented at least initially, 503 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 3: and then also really specifically about ending American Jewish support 504 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 3: for for apartheid and occupation. 505 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 2: And like, and I've seen so many wilds, Like I've 506 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 2: seen people call Jewish Voice for Peace like a terrorist group, 507 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: like some really awful shit or like and I and rap. 508 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 2: Since I've known you, and like you've come on the show, 509 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 2: like we've had a lot of conversations where your work 510 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: in you know, standing up and they're being in solidarity 511 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 2: with the people of Palestine has opened you up to 512 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 2: all kinds of attacks like that people would accuse you 513 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: of being like self of self hatred and things like that. 514 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 2: I'm really curious, especially for you, who's so involved in 515 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: this and is looking at it through the perspective you 516 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 2: are like what that's been like to watch watch these 517 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 2: things unfold the last few weeks and begin to see 518 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 2: these rifts open up in really really dramatic ways, and 519 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 2: you know like what that process is to sort of 520 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 2: look on and say, like so, like some of us 521 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: are here, others are completely there. Yeah, like what how 522 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: do we make sense of it? 523 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 3: That's such a good question, And there's still so many 524 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 3: open things that we're learning, Like right now, there is 525 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 3: a use of the statistics. There is a huge difference 526 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 3: depending on your age and like where you fall. And 527 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 3: this issued either as an American of any faith or 528 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 3: no faith, or as a Jew. But I think if 529 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 3: not now in JPP had like shift the paradigm and 530 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 3: made it safer for a lot of people to be 531 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: able to say, like why am I being called anti Semitic? 532 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 3: If these Jews are also believe what I believe? And 533 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 3: then also we do that too, like we say, why 534 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: are we called self hating Jews? If Israel's largest human 535 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 3: rights organization calls it apartheid and there's a whole society 536 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 3: called making the silence? Who are veterans in Israel who 537 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 3: oppose the occupation? Many of them had even refused to 538 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,239 Speaker 3: serve and spend jail time refusing to serve. And it 539 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 3: continues today. And these are like teenagers, like or early 540 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 3: twenty year olds. So there's all this kind of layers 541 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 3: upon layers of people seeking safety through validation. And it's 542 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 3: kind of sad because what results for Palestinians is that 543 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 3: I think you've probably seen all these super clips online, 544 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 3: and that is when Palestinians are brought on to news shows, 545 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 3: they're not asked about if their families, okay, who they lost, 546 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 3: what they fear. They're asked if they support terrorism, you 547 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 3: can ask, yeah, exactly, and it's really and then some 548 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 3: of the Palestinian guests and experts and journalists would say, oh, 549 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 3: by the way, my uncle died and my nieces missing 550 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 3: and XYZ, thanks for asking, know what I mean, and 551 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 3: they would just go they would just pivot back to Amman, 552 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 3: which is really it's it's really I can't imagine what 553 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: that feels like to have to be to not only 554 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 3: have to disavow things like I posted, I mean the 555 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 3: other day it was an asteroid that was coming to 556 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 3: Earth to destroy and I wrote, yeah, but do Palestinian 557 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 3: support it? You know, like it's just like becoming this thing. 558 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 3: We're just gross. And also when they do speak about 559 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 3: anything with Israel and Palestine, a Palestinian has to be 560 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 3: like a PhD in European anti semitism in order not 561 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: to say something that's triggering and this, and I understand 562 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 3: those triggers, but also there's almost zero grace for Palestinians 563 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 3: to just even mourn or speak for their own security. 564 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 565 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, we get this article in the La Times over 566 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: the weekend about how the left has really led us down. 567 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: I mean that we've gotten this article over and over again. 568 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, it's millennials are killing X industry. Is 569 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: the left is really there this week it's this thing. 570 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: And like they're going to be able to find anti 571 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: semitism on the left because there's anti semitism everywhere, Like 572 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: anti semitism is it is a huge problem. But in 573 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: this context, as you're as you're there involved in this 574 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: struggle for peace, it seems like you've seen something quite 575 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: different from anti semitism being on the grid for these 576 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: protests and these actions. 577 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 3: We like to say peace and justice, right, like peace, Yeah, 578 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 3: because like a lot of people, yeah, a lot of 579 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 3: people define peace, and I think peace is the right word, 580 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 3: but a lot of people have redefined peace to mean quiet, 581 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 3: and like, you know, there's no there's no there's no 582 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 3: rally as I can tell for Black Lives Matter right 583 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 3: now on the streets. That's very large right now, But 584 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 3: that doesn't mean there's peace, right there's still those things 585 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 3: are still happening every day. So I guess I like 586 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 3: to remind folks to also say just this part, because 587 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 3: peace in Gaza is four hours of electricity a day, 588 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 3: calorie counting by Israel to not allow too much food 589 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 3: and water, limitations, a blockade around every well, note travel restrictions. 590 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 3: It's just open air prison. And a lot of people 591 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 3: define the day before that horrendous attack by Hamas on civilians, 592 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 3: a lot of people define that that day before that 593 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: it's peace. And yeah, anti Semitism. Yeah. Another thing is 594 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 3: like it's very easy to kind of assume antisemitism is 595 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 3: like in the water in the air, and it's really 596 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 3: it's something that's manufactured by the right, and it was 597 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 3: created by the right in Europe in order to remove 598 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 3: to create, like a middle manager like to create. So 599 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 3: the core of racism is this like supremacy, ethnic supremacy, 600 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:13,479 Speaker 3: and for example, the idea that someone exists like Martin 601 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 3: Luther King or Nelson Mandela or something exists like black 602 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 3: culture defining global culture for decades and decades, all of 603 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 3: these amazing accomplishments, all the inventions, all the things, all 604 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 3: the scientific breakthroughs that any black person does, negates the 605 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 3: idea of white supremacy. So a useful tool to undo 606 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 3: that is the idea of this mystical Jewish person. This 607 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 3: Jewish person, be it Sorrows or whoever, is behind the 608 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 3: success of black people. It's behind the migrant you know, 609 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 3: like the idea that America is this immigrating beacons for 610 00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 3: immigration and all these things. And so it's a really 611 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 3: useful tool to a redirect like financial pain and suffering 612 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 3: from capitalism to a group of people, and also to 613 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 3: protect the idea of the myth of white supremacy. And 614 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 3: I guess, like what I'm seeing on the streets to 615 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 3: your question, finally, what I'm seeing on the streets, I 616 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 3: do see occasionally anti Semitic thing. I will see it, 617 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 3: and then sometimes most of the time I'll call the 618 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 3: person in and be like hey, like they'll be like 619 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,240 Speaker 3: the Jewish state. This is like what the Jewish state does. 620 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 3: And I'll be like, well, do you mean the Israeli 621 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 3: state or do you mean the Jewish state? And then 622 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 3: they're like, oh, I didn't think about that. But had 623 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 3: they said that in front of a New York Post reporter, 624 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 3: that would be on the front page and would be 625 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:51,240 Speaker 3: used to define DSA, would be used to define anything 626 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 3: and try to destroy the left. And what I saw 627 00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 3: in Israel there is an Arab town forget the name 628 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 3: right now, there's an Arab town that after the attacks, 629 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 3: welcomed Jewish refugees. And the history of that Arab town 630 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 3: was it was one of it was the site of 631 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 3: the most horrific massacre by Jews of Palestinians of Arabs 632 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 3: in that town. And they still are opening their doors 633 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 3: to the families affected by that attack by Hamas. You know, 634 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 3: you're seeing these things on the street and you're you're 635 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 3: basically going to find what you're looking for, right, And 636 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 3: the question is what are you amplifying and what are 637 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 3: you using to define an entire thing with? 638 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I've seen how useful that sort of the 639 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 2: left is anti Semitic, like that, how that take has 640 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 2: been used by like establishment democrats and shit to completely 641 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 2: try and take the wind out of the sails or 642 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 2: question the validity of people pointing out that the ills 643 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 2: of Palestinian people living under occupation and then just being 644 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,760 Speaker 2: able to sort of use this like thought killing cliche 645 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 2: to be like, well, they're all anti Semitics, so let's 646 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 2: now back to our person and on the ground from 647 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 2: the IDF that is going to tell us exactly what's 648 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 2: happening now. And yeah, like I see how like in 649 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 2: a way, like for the establishment politics too, like this 650 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 2: has been used to being like, oh, we can also 651 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 2: sort of try and kneecap a movement as well by 652 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: bringing it into this, you know, a very skewed perspective 653 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 2: that they. 654 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 3: Want to show absolutely absolutely.

But also and it 693 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 3: also does this thing of flattening the Palacinian resistance, which 694 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 3: is greater than Hamas. There's a lot of groups and 695 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 3: the most favorite group actually like people don't know their 696 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 3: names and I don't even remember their names. But there 697 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 3: are a lot of youth groups who show up without 698 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 3: any kind of real ideology. It's more like a mutual 699 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 3: aid kind of thing. And they have been springing up 700 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 3: and going after soldiers and going after violent occupying soldiers 701 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 3: and going after violent settlers and getting killed like more 702 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 3: than anyone.

I wish he 818 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 3: had more followers, but he really touches on this really well. 819 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 3: He's on Instagram as a m o y a l 820 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 3: Amyl Ri Moyal and he does a really good video, 821 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 3: really going long form, breaking down the Zionism before Jews 822 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 3: spoke about it, and there is like a link, a 823 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:04,560 Speaker 3: direct link to right wing Christian evangelical kind of folks 824 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 3: and in the UK, and he makes the case like, 825 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 3: you know, the UK decided to offer us a homeland 826 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 3: at the expense of Palestinians, and the question is like why, 827 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 3: Like the UK at that time and even a lot 828 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 3: of time today is one of the most anti Semitic countries, 829 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 3: the most casual anti semitism in the world, and why 830 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 3: would they just end over this valuable piece of strategic 831 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:40,839 Speaker 3: land to just a bunch of refugees from Europe. And 832 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 3: the answer is that there are very powerful people who 833 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,360 Speaker 3: have this interest of end times and they are giddy 834 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 3: to the other day, I was listening to radio and 835 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 3: New York City there was something it's a signal that's 836 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,479 Speaker 3: taken from another town, because when they do the weather, 837 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 3: it's all off. I don't know where, but it's called 838 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 3: the Bridge. And I think there's a podcast the British 839 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 3: Christian Radio or something like that. They were gidy. They 840 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,479 Speaker 3: are if you turn any like evangelical like Christian radio 841 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 3: right now. They are so happy and basically their plan 842 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 3: is coming together and that is death and destruction for 843 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 3: people who are not Christian, and Jew's dying and people 844 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 3: converting and Jesus coming back, and there is a very 845 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 3: much straight line. Like Zionism spiritually means a lot of things, 846 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 3: like we at every prayer, at every dinner, we talk 847 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 3: about or in holidays we talk about going back to Israel, 848 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 3: and a lot of people read that in many different ways, 849 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 3: like I'm from Uzbekistan as a Jew there in this 850 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 3: ancient society, like we when we said we were called Israel. 851 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,240 Speaker 3: So our actually we weren't called Bujarians. We're called Buarians 852 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 3: because a white man found the first of us in 853 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 3: a town called Buhara and decided this is a Buhari 854 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 3: and now forever we're called Buarians because of its white traveler. 855 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,080 Speaker 3: But we were always called Israel. We were called Esareel. 856 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 3: So when we said esil, we meant us where we are, 857 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 3: where we're home. And you know, there is a lot 858 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 3: of tradition about that. I could go into on a 859 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 3: whole other show. But the spiritual meaning has many This 860 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 3: is why a lot of Jews are so even human 861 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,879 Speaker 3: rights caring Jews are so triggered with even the term 862 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 3: anti Zionism and all these things. It's just wound up 863 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 3: in so much of our Even that wedding song we 864 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 3: were singing on the bus protesting Israel. We're singing on 865 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,919 Speaker 3: the bus. It has a reference to Israel in the song. 866 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 3: You know. So there's a lot of contradictions. 867 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 2: Right right, because I think a lot of people also 868 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 2: underrate like just how you know, there's like a group 869 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 2: called Christians Unified for Israel that has like a lot 870 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 2: of sway, especially within the Republican Party. 871 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,239 Speaker 3: People talk about APAC all the time, but actually the 872 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,400 Speaker 3: biggest thunders are Christian Zionists as well. 873 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's and a lot of people 874 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,919 Speaker 2: are like, well, I don't like, you know, I think 875 00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 2: it really became clear, especially right after the embassy was moved, 876 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 2: and Donald Trump at a rally was like, yeah, he's like, 877 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 2: you think the like people would be excited about it. 878 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 2: He's like the evangelicals, they're actually more they're more excited 879 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,040 Speaker 2: than the Jewish people about this. 880 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,720 Speaker 3: And oh yeah, he's always lambasting on us. He's always 881 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 3: saying we're not returning the favor and right, yeah, and 882 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 3: he's saying the Christians and are the ones who are. 883 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 2: Grateful, right, and now we're like and now, like to 884 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 2: a certain point, I'm like, okay, well I'm glad, Like, 885 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 2: you know, Pompeo and Pence obviously like aren't part of 886 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 2: the mechanic, the mechanical, the machinery of the government, but. 887 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 4: We still it's still a huge force to be reckoned with. 888 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 4: And I know Joe Biden, like one of his like 889 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 4: sort of community outreach people he had during the transition 890 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,880 Speaker 4: comes from this like evangelical Wow, yeah, so like you 891 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 4: see that like there's still there's like a consistency to 892 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 4: all this, and now like as I see and watch 893 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 4: what the president is doing now, I'm yeah, like I mean, 894 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 4: I'm he's he's pretty consistently been saying like yeah, no, 895 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,239 Speaker 4: it's like no matter what this is, this is what 896 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 4: we're going to stand with Israel. But as but I'm 897 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 4: always curious to see, like especially when you see people 898 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,439 Speaker 4: in the streets like saying this is not what we want, 899 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,800 Speaker 4: not in our name, or we cannot repeat the mistakes 900 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,840 Speaker 4: that we did like in nine to eleven with immediately 901 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 4: just jumping to conclusions and like unleashing just unrestrained wrath. 902 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 4: Like how he like how even this administration is looking 903 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,320 Speaker 4: at it and like what they're even calculus is you 904 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,319 Speaker 4: know what I mean, Because I'm like, yeah, this is 905 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 4: a lot of people that voted for you. There's a 906 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,359 Speaker 4: lot of people that you gave them the binary of 907 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,360 Speaker 4: like well you know, it's the lesser of two evils 908 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 4: or like I'll hold my nose. But now with increased 909 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,720 Speaker 4: resistance to what is happening, I'm I'm just like, really 910 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,759 Speaker 4: that's also just I see how further things can ravel 911 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 4: even domestically. 912 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's it's like uncharted territory. With Biden, 913 00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 3: it seems like he could he could pass something and 914 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 3: it's going to create a climate, core of workers, and 915 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 3: it's going to be like this amazing thing that we 916 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 3: never thought any president would do. And then on this side, 917 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,280 Speaker 3: he took forever even just to mention Palestinians and lied 918 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 3: about like the beheaded baby story and other things. I 919 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,279 Speaker 3: really don't know, Like it's just like it's so uncharted 920 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 3: to me what to expect. But it's like anything is 921 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 3: up from this because it's so dire. But I am 922 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,840 Speaker 3: moved though. I am moved because if you do see people, 923 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 3: they are taking stands. During when we did the White 924 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,279 Speaker 3: House thing, if not Now, we steeled every if not 925 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 3: now people field every entrance and exit. There's so many 926 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 3: of them, more than a dozen, and Secret Service and 927 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 3: everyone came to arrest them. And during that moment inside 928 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 3: the White House, there are there were people who signed 929 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 3: an internal letter who agree with us. While we're screaming 930 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 3: on the streets, Joe Biden's opening up his email and 931 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 3: his a is reading like a letter from his own 932 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,840 Speaker 3: staff protesting his position. Same thing with Staffers in Congress 933 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 3: have written up hundreds and have written internal letters and stuff, 934 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 3: and people are resigning all over the country from their companies, 935 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 3: from agencies and also getting fired. There's a young woman 936 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:23,800 Speaker 3: who got fired from CIA recently for her stance. Yeah. 937 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think what they I think that they 938 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 2: posted something as like innocuous, as like we're starting to 939 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:35,280 Speaker 2: see who supports genocide? Yeah that, And I think that's 940 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 2: when we've been saying this, like for the last few weeks, 941 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 2: the landscape has so become so hostile towards any sort 942 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 2: of utterance of like a resolution like if it's not 943 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 2: a full throated support of like yeah, they have the 944 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 2: right to defend themselves no matter what. If that's not 945 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,840 Speaker 2: the take, like then you see a lot of. 946 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 3: It's interesting is when they do speak like that, especially 947 00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 3: off the cuff, when they say like we must do 948 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 3: what's necessary because you know whatever, and if it's innocent people, 949 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,919 Speaker 3: it's innocent people, but we have to get blah blah blah, 950 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 3: and that's that's what they chose. They say, so like 951 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,840 Speaker 3: Israelis are saying that the Israeli military hawks are saying 952 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 3: they chose Hamas even though that election was like almost 953 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,880 Speaker 3: two decades ago whatever, But like that, they chose Hamas 954 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,240 Speaker 3: and therefore they deserve it. But that's also what Hamas 955 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:27,400 Speaker 3: said when they went into those settlements, those towns. This 956 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,960 Speaker 3: is not defense of them, but those towns where they 957 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:36,279 Speaker 3: were invading, invading, were quote invading but also invading. They 958 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 3: those were the forms. So Gaza, the existence of Gaza 959 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 3: is ethnic cleansing. So it's these Palisines used to live 960 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 3: all across Palestine Israel, and now they're pushed in there 961 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 3: and remove the right to vote. So that's literally the 962 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 3: existence of Gaza itself is already ethnic cleansing. So there's 963 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 3: really no debate. So they actually Hamas says the same thing, 964 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,640 Speaker 3: and al Qaeda said the same thing when they did 965 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 3: the towers. They said that we voted for Bush and 966 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 3: others who who are bombing Arabs and the thing and 967 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,239 Speaker 3: al Kaid are awful evil.

You know, 1003 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,040 Speaker 1: that's let alone, like the people who have lived in 1004 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 1: an open air prison and an apartheid state for you know, 1005 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:24,440 Speaker 1: over Dame. 1006 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 3: I don't know how much time we have, but like 1007 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 3: there is something that would be useful to help decode. 1008 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:33,120 Speaker 3: And one of that is like a lot of this 1009 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 3: is like at least in the Jewish community and people 1010 00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 3: who want to stand with us, are these triggers, And 1011 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 3: one of them is like there's all these like interpretations. 1012 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 3: So like when someone goes to a rally and someone 1013 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,680 Speaker 3: screams from the river to the sea, a lot of 1014 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 3: people get triggered, and really you should follow up and 1015 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 3: ask what that means. And usually the answer is everyone 1016 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,160 Speaker 3: should have a vote, Like it's really even the one 1017 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,760 Speaker 3: that they try to make into a monster, into this 1018 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 3: evil super whatever left kind of thing BDS, which is 1019 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 3: boycott divest campaign, which is the single most unified thing 1020 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,520 Speaker 3: that Palestinian civil society demands. This is when when you 1021 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 3: say what should we do for Palestine, it shouldn't be 1022 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 3: what Americans are saying or Jews are saying. It should 1023 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 3: be what Palaestinians are saying, and Palasinians are saying, Boycott, 1024 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 3: divest from from until we all have one person, one vote, 1025 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:28,040 Speaker 3: which is just like the most basic line kind of 1026 00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 3: human rights thing. It's not it's not radical at all. 1027 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 3: It's not scary at all. What is scary to people 1028 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 3: is and it's understandable too. It's not sometimes like it's 1029 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 3: either you want to choose villains or whatever. But I 1030 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:44,080 Speaker 3: can't look at my uncle who's great on everything and 1031 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 3: problematic on Israel and say he's a monster. But he's 1032 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 3: confused and he's afraid that there's going to be another 1033 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 3: time that Jews don't have self determination. Yeah, and you know, 1034 00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 3: and there's there's ways to fight self determination, fight for 1035 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,880 Speaker 3: democracy where you are. That's one point. There's also models 1036 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 3: for multinational, multi ethnic date kind of things that you 1037 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,720 Speaker 3: could do with Israel. There's you know, it's just like 1038 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 3: a lot of this is emotional and triggering and actually 1039 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,840 Speaker 3: solvable with conversations like I've had those conversations.
