Repulsive Op-Ed on Gaza
00:12:44
|
|
| Hey everybody, down the Charlie Kirk show, a repulsive op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. | |
| It's just hard to even fathom what these two individuals are arguing here, basically saying that if you don't take in the people of Gaza, you're a bad person. | |

| Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. | |
| Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. | |
| I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. | |
| Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. | |
| I want to thank Charlie. | |
| He's an incredible guy. | |
| His spirit, his love of this country. | |
| He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created. | |
| Turning point USA. | |
| We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. | |
| That's why we are here. | |
| Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com. | |
| Today, we have the CR, the dirty CR, that they're trying to sneak through because your members of Congress obviously need a Christmas break. | |
| We're going to be covering that. | |
| But there's a sneaky, very, very sneaky thing happening. | |
| Biden could do this unilaterally, and he might do this unilaterally. | |
| We have covered extensively how Joe Biden is losing Muslim voters, and it's becoming a very serious political liability for him. | |
| Not just Muslim voters, but hard left, pro-Hamas type activists. | |
| They're all across the country. | |
| They're on college campuses. | |
| They're always looking for something to complain about, some sort of crusade of justice, and they have found their cause right now. | |
| And Joe Biden is seeing his support erode because Joe Biden has a constituency of some people that are very pro-Israel in his administration that are donors to him. | |
| But then also he has a much bigger in-number constituency of people that want nothing to do with supporting Israel. | |
| So Joe Biden is going to be looking for some way to remedy his falling poll numbers. | |
| And I think I found out what he's going to do. | |
| This is very sneaky. | |
| And by the way, it's not just Joe Biden. | |
| Many Republicans are on board for this. | |
| So I was reading the Wall Street Journal this morning. | |
| And I always, you know, I flip through article after article. | |
| And then this one just is one of the most infuriating op-eds that I have seen in quite some time. | |
| The Wall Street Journal publishes by Danny Dinan, who I've met before, smart guy, and Rahm Ben Barak, two Israeli government officials. | |
| Mr. Dinan is a senior Likvood member of the Israeli Knesset. | |
| Ben Barak is the former deputy director of Mossad and the Yesh Atid member of the Knesset. | |
| These are political parties. | |
| Also, Ben Barak used to run some of the Intel services in addition to Mossad. | |
| Okay. | |
| This article is not just some sort of one-off thing that they wrote. | |
| This is obviously coordinated. | |
| If it goes all the way up to Netanyahu, who knows? | |
| But there is definitely a push within the Israeli government to trial balloon something that will impact the West and impact America. | |
| And I find this to be repulsive, and you should too. | |
| By Danny Dinan and Rahm Ben Barak, quote, the West should welcome Gaza refugees. | |
| Says Europe and the U.S. accepted millions who fled earlier wars. | |
| Quote, it is imperative that the international community explore potential solutions to help civilians caught in the crisis. | |
| First of all, hold on. | |
| Why doesn't Israel just give all the people of Gaza citizenship? | |
| Why don't you just make them all citizens of Israel? | |
| Oh, you don't want to do that. | |
| And honestly, you shouldn't do that. | |
| That would be a bad idea. | |
| They hate you. | |
| They don't share your values. | |
| You want Israel to be a Jewish state. | |
| God bless you. | |
| You have every right to do that. | |
| Self-determination, self-government, self-sovereignty. | |
| I think it's ridiculous when people start to lecture that Israel should take people into their country. | |
| Okay, so you don't want to do that because you know that the people of Gaza have been radicalized throughout the years. | |
| Okay. | |
| Well, the people in the region would make really a lot of sense, right? | |
| Does Egypt or Jordan want these people? | |
| Do the people of the Middle East want the Hamas sympathizers? | |
| Well, the king of Jordan came out and he said very clearly, under no circumstances, this is a non-starter. | |
| Wait a second. | |
| The king of Jordan allegedly has bloodline ties all the way back to what they call Prophet Muhammad. | |
| He's right there. | |
| It's a rich-ish country. | |
| It's not as rich as Saudi Arabia. | |
| But Jordan is by no means poor. | |
| It's a stable country. | |
| It's actually more of a pro-Western country than most Middle Eastern countries. | |
| And he says it's a red line. | |
| Absolutely not. | |
| So why isn't Danny Dinan and Rahm Ben Barak writing in the Wall Street Journal, Jordan, you have a moral imperative to let these refugees in? | |
| No, no, no. | |
| Instead, the Israeli government officials are writing in the Wall Street Journal that you, Americans, have a moral imperative. | |
| We're going to guilt you into bringing in more Rashida Talib types or Elon Omars. | |
| Listen to this, PlayCut 42. | |
| Chill on the issues of refugees coming to Jordan. | |
| And I think I can quite strongly speak on behalf not only of Jordan as a nation, but of our friends in Egypt. | |
| That is a red line, because I think that is a plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create de facto issues on the ground. | |
| No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt. | |
| Wow. | |
| You don't want your fellow Muslims, King Abdullah? | |
| I thought you guys are all like one under Allah and that we all are, you know, big into, isn't one of the big pillars of Islam charity? | |
| They're always like lecturing us. | |
| Yeah, one of the pillars of Islam is showing charity, especially towards our fellow Muslims. | |
| What's that all about? | |
| You guys don't want? | |
| I thought they're beautiful people. | |
| I mean, you guys are lecturing the entire international community about Israel is committing a genocide. | |
| Well, then end the genocide. | |
| Bring them all into your country. | |
| Oh, it's a red line. | |
| You know why? | |
| Because the King Abdullah loves his country. | |
| He loves Jordan. | |
| And he knows that if you bring in refugees from Gaza, that they're going to cause problems on the ground. | |
| Same with Egypt. | |
| Egypt's like, I don't want them. | |
| Jordan, I don't want them. | |
| Israel definitely doesn't want them, nor should Israel want them. | |
| Israel should not let people who hate their country into their country. | |
| That's what America's for. | |
| America specializes in importing people who hate us into our own country. | |
| We do it every single day. | |
| If you need a nation that is willing to bring the most radical, the most fringe belief systems, that's what America is for. | |
| So they write in the Wall Street Journal, the West should welcome Gaza refugees. | |
| Now, mind you, you read this piece. | |
| It's not a very long piece by Danny Dinon and Ben Barak. | |
| Not once in this piece do they say that they're going to improve your country. | |
| They say this. | |
| This is their argument. | |
| They say that the West, including Europe, brought in a lot of Syrian refugees. | |
| Oh, you mean the thing that has basically destroyed Europe? | |
| As Douglas Murray said, it's the strange death of Europe. | |
| It has destroyed Germany. | |
| It is destabilizing Sweden, where the most popular name for young men in Ireland is Muhammad for young boys being born. | |
| Most popular name. | |
| Complete conquering of the Western world. | |
| Italy, Greece, you name it. | |
| The Muslim population is ascendant. | |
| So why is the Israeli government pushing for this? | |
| Because the Israeli government doesn't want to solve the problem themselves. | |
| So they say, hey, it's the West's fault. | |
| Or it's the West's responsibility. | |
| It gets worse than this, than that. | |
| The international community has a moral imperative and an opportunity to demonstrate compassion, help the people of Gaza move forward towards a more prosperous future and work together to achieve greater peace and stability in the Middle East. | |
| Oh, so you're a bad person, Danny Dinon and Ben Barak say. | |
| Now, mind you, this is not an official position of the Israeli government, but it's pretty close to it. | |
| So the question should be by Speaker Mike Johnson, he should look at this op-ed and say, hey, can we get an answer from Bibi Netanyahu? | |
| Is this the official position of the Israeli government? | |
| We just want to know. | |
| If you're telling us that we should take people in, what is the official position of the Israeli government? | |
| Was this done by mistake? | |
| Did these two people who used to, one of which used to be the second in command of Mossad, is he just kind of one-off saying, you need to do this? | |
| Is this, or is this consistent as a trial balloon? | |
| We deserve to know. | |
| Has a moral imperative. | |
| So you're a bad person if you don't solve Israel's problem. | |
| If you don't take in, they say minimum 10,000. | |
| They say even if countries took in as few as 10,000 people each, it would help alleviate the crisis. | |
| Israel, you first take in 10,000 people of Gaza. | |
| Come on. | |
| Solve the problem, man. | |
| Oh, they're too dangerous to be in Israel, but it's fine to have them in Cleveland, Ohio. | |
| In fact, if you don't put them in Cleveland, Ohio, you're a bad person. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I'm not going to be lectured about morals from Danny Dinon and Ben Barack, but it's not just them. | |
| There's Republicans calling for this too. | |
| Strong cell is amazing. | |
| I got to tell you, the combination of NADH, CoQ10, and collagen is really something. | |
| You know, people ask me, they say, Charlie, how do you keep your energy up? | |
| How do you just keep on pushing? | |
| Look, part of it is diet nutrition, but I'll be honest, I take supplements really seriously. | |
| Fact check me on this. | |
| You can say, oh, Trump, I'm going to fact-check you. | |
| Type this into your search engine. | |
| NADH. | |
| Just type it in. | |
| What does it tell you? | |
| It might tell you that it is the secret to living long, anti-aging properties, more energy. | |
| Well, all of that is being proven in more and more clinical trials. | |
| NADH is a precursor so that your mitochondria can remain healthy and vibrant. | |
| The elites, a lot of billionaires, people, a lot of money, they spend a ton of money on NAD. | |
| It's a fact. | |
| NAD just might be your secret weapon for more energy. | |
| I take NAD every single day. | |
| I could tell you that NADH, compared with CoQ10, the trials show very, very good things on it. | |
| Don't take my word for it. | |
| I mean, honestly, my word should be good for something. | |
| But fact-check me. | |
| Look at it. | |
| And if you do it over 30 days, you'll see an increase in energy. | |
| I wake up better than ever before. | |
| NAD can help you potentially, again, fact check me on this with depression, anxiety, other issues that you might be dealing with. | |
| It is nature's gift to you so that you might have extra energy and mental clarity. | |

| The international community has a moral imperative and an opportunity to demonstrate compassion. | |
| What I find so interesting about this piece that Danny Dinon and Rahm Ben Barak wrote is nowhere in the piece do they make an argument as to how this will improve the West, how this will make our lives better, will increase prosperity, will strengthen the bonds that tie us together. | |

Leaders Must Act Now
00:09:00
|
|
| No, instead, they kind of dance around the issue. | |
| They talk about the humanitarian crisis that is happening, and then they go straight for guilt. | |
| They go straight for guilt. | |
| I find this line of argumentation to be toxic, offensive, and morally repulsive. | |
| And we deserve to know if this is the official position of the Israeli government. | |
| They say that you have a moral imperative. | |
| Oh, so we're bad people in the West. | |
| We give Israel billions of dollars. | |
| We are defending Israel on campus. | |
| We are defending Israel against the terrorists and Hamas. | |
| But now, if you don't take the terrorist sympathizers of Gaza, you're breaking your moral imperative. | |
| Imperative. | |
| Not, I mean, it would be one thing if they just said you have a moral opportunity. | |
| Imperative. | |
| You must do this, Danny Dinon says. | |
| You must. | |
| If you don't, you're basically, you could fill in the pejorative. | |
| So Joe Biden has declining poll numbers with Muslims, majorly declining poll numbers. | |
| He might sign a deal to bring in 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 Gaza refugees as a way to try to build up his poll numbers. | |
| And let's be very clear. | |
| You know, Danny Dinon says, oh, you guys have done this in the past. | |
| Yeah, we did this with the Somali population. | |
| And what a mistake that was. | |
| We've Elon Omar. | |
| We have the balkanization of the beautiful city of Minneapolis. | |
| That's not exactly a good argument. | |
| And why are we listening to foreigners about our immigration policy? | |
| Like, what is that all about? | |
| Like, why are we listening to people that are currently sitting in a foreign scene? | |
| Why is the Wall Street Journal publishing it? | |
| Danny Dinon wants what's best for Israel. | |
| He should want what's best for Israel. | |
| He's a member of the Israeli government. | |
| So why are we taking this seriously? | |
| And by the way, American Jews should be petrified by this idea. | |
| Is the Anti-Defamation League going to come out and say, no, we're not going to do this. | |
| But it's not just foreign leaders. | |
| It's not just members of the Israeli government and former leaders of Mossad. | |
| It's not just them saber-rattling in the Wall Street Journal that you must take people of Gaza. | |
| No, Who needs foreign government spy agencies? | |
| Who needs them when you have Nikki Haley? | |
| PlayCut 41. | |
| You have to realize that whether we're talking about Gazans and Palestinians, you know, all of them don't, you've got half of them at the time that I was there, didn't want to be under Hamas's rule. | |
| They didn't want to have terrorists overseeing them. | |
| They knew that they were living a terrible life because of Hamas. | |
| You had the other half that supported Hamas and wanted to be a part of that. | |
| We see that with Iran, too. | |
| There are so many of these people who want to be free from this terrorist rule. | |
| They want to be free from all of that. | |
| And America's always been sympathetic to the fact that you can separate civilians from terrorists. | |
| Bring them in. | |
| If they're so wonderful, Nikki Haley, why doesn't Jordan want them? | |
| Why doesn't Egypt want them? | |
| Shouldn't they be fighting over them? | |
| Shouldn't there be a long line of, no, no, no, no. | |
| I want 25,000. | |
| Get out of my way. | |
| I want 40,000. | |
| Get out of my way. | |
| By the way, why doesn't Saudi Arabia take them? | |
| Saudi Arabia has a landmass the size of, I'm just estimating, like Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, like the southeastern part of the United States is massive. | |
| Basically, all of the Arabian Peninsula, absent Qatar, the UAE, Yemen, Oman, and Bahrain. | |
| I'm just doing that off the top of my head. | |
| Blake can correct my geography, but it's huge. | |
| I mean, Saudi Arabia is massive. | |
| And they also have trillions and trillions of dollars. | |
| Okay, thank you. | |
| I was approximately right. | |
| Saudi Arabia is one-fourth the size of the U.S. | |
| I wasn't that far off. | |
| So they got plenty of land, plenty of land. | |
| So why don't they want them? | |
| How about Qatar, Bahrain? | |
| Aren't they all fellow Muslims? | |
| Aren't they all in this together? | |
| How about Iran, who is funding many of the terrorist activity? | |
| So let me get this straight. | |
| So Iran funds the terror activity, and then they don't want them to come. | |
| What's that all about? | |
| No, it's the West's fault because we're suckers. | |
| We're chumps. | |
| We have Nikki Haley and our leaders. | |
| And by the way, they're probably going to get this done. | |
| Speaker Mike Johnson, where are you at, man? | |
| Demand an answer. | |
| You should send out a press release. | |
| Is this the official position of the Israeli government? | |
| Yes or no? | |
| I want to talk about ReliefFactor.com. | |

| So what is the driving motivator here for wanting to open up our borders? | |
| You know, Steve Salier, who came on our program a couple of weeks ago, I believe coined the phrase, invade the world, invite the world. | |
| And it is a perfect summary of neoconservatism, which is we must try to remake the world in our image and then invite them to the American homeland. | |
| Has that worked? | |
| Has that been proven to be a strong set of policies to strengthen the homeland? | |
| So while two, I want to be very clear. | |
| I don't know if this is the official position of the Israeli government. | |
| We received an email, freedom at charliekirk.com. | |
| Charlie, that is not the view of all American Jews. | |
| Just want to make that clear. | |
| That's great. | |
| I'm glad to hear that. | |
| I just want to make sure that the Israeli government clarifies this. | |
| But understand that as these two people, Danny Dinon and Ben Barak, again, they're not schleps. | |
| These are top level, but okay. | |
| We'll see if it's actually the position of the government. | |
| Right now, there was supposed to be a Stand for Israel rally in Washington, D.C. | |
| The Department of Homeland Security late last night elevated the threat level to the highest possible threat. | |
| And so many Christian groups decided no longer to show up. | |
| In New York, you have Muslims tearing down flags. | |
| You have hundreds of Muslims going out. | |
| Again, I think Joe Biden's a traitor to the United States. | |
| But think, I mean, this is unacceptable. | |
| You have hundreds of Muslims showing up at the home of a president of the United States, and we act as if that's normal? | |
| Oh, yeah, it's perfectly fine. | |
| Yeah, it's just civil disobedience. | |
| Really? | |
| Like, we're just supposed to act as if that's perfectly fine. | |
| They're taking over. | |
| Now, mind you, this is what's interesting, is that pro-Palestinian forces took over Grand Central Station, which were actually Jews, interestingly enough. | |
| Jewish Voice for Peace, which it feels very astroturfed. | |
| That's a separate issue. | |
| I do not believe, maybe I'm wrong. | |
| Is that, we could get the picture, by the way, I sent it. | |
| I sent the picture earlier to one of my friends. | |
| It is a very, yeah, here it is. | |
| Very, very powerful picture, just to see what you're dealing with. | |
| So there is this group called Jewish Voice for Peace. | |
| And we don't know if all these people are Jewish or if they're just people that are in favor of the cause. | |
| But yeah, thank you for getting that up so fast. | |
| They're groups that basically took over all of Grand Central Station. | |
| There they are. | |
| All in black shirts, obviously very, very well funded, right? | |
| And all over Grand Central Station. | |
| There you go. | |
| By the way, they say we want to ceasefire. | |
| You guys had a ceasefire on October 6th. | |
| You didn't have to start the war. | |
| You did. | |
| Stop complaining that you're losing. | |
| And what's really telling, if you watch this, by the way, if you just look at this picture, it's almost all middle-aged women. | |
| That's a thing, I got to tell you. | |
| And by the way, just so we're clear, the IDF is doing very, very well. | |
| Again, my advice is not exactly listened to by the Israeli government. | |
| But hey, Israeli government, if you want to lose or at least weaken, soften the support that you have from American Christian right, stop saying that we're bad people if we don't want to have the people of Gaza into our country when you obviously don't want them into your country. | |
| By the way, if you wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal and you said, here's why they're so beautiful. | |
|
Guilt in Secular Society
00:03:11
|
|
| They're entrepreneurial. | |
| They're peace-loving. | |
| They respect private property rights. | |
| They love free speech. | |
| You wouldn't write that because you know it's not true. | |
| At the very least, they're soft sympathizers of terror. | |
| At the very worst, they were the people that were applauding when there were dead Jewish bodies being paraded through the streets of Gaza. | |
| So don't give me that. | |
| No, you dodge and you avoid it and you just cut straight for emotional blackmail and manipulation. | |
| That's what this is, guys. | |
| Don't fall for it. | |
| Hold on. | |
| Hold on. | |
| Just prove it to me and just make a couple points. | |
| Like all on board, by the way, because I've seen the track record. | |
| Like for example, right now, if the Cuban government started to terrorize citizens even further in Havana and there were 10,000 Cubans that wanted to come to Miami, I'd be open for that conversation, legitimately. | |
| Why? | |
| The Cuban people have proven to be anti-communist, anti-Marxist, liberty, freedom-loving, assimilate to American culture. | |
| They're turning Miami-Dade County red. | |
| Great. | |
| Open for that conversation. | |
| Have I seen a track record that letting in radical Muslims from the third world into America has made America freer, stronger? | |
| No, we have Elon Omar, who's an ingrate, full of ingratitude, the very woman who should have plenty of gratitude. | |
| So they're saying, oh, it's only 10,000 people. | |
| Okay, in two generations, that'll be 130,000 people. | |
| Plus, you have chain migration. | |
| They have six or seven kids per family. | |
| It's very telling. | |
| But I want to just go a level deeper. | |
| What motivates this? | |
| And I think guilt is the operative word. | |
| The guilt that so many Americans feel is an outgrowth, by the way, of secular society. | |
| The more secular a society gets, the harder people have, the more difficult, the more difficult it is for a person to deal with their guilt. | |
| That's a legit thing. | |
| So, the more secular the society gets, they need to figure out how to deal with their guilt. | |
| In Christianity, we have a process of dealing with sin, with guilt. | |
| You ask for forgiveness. | |
| You try to engage in a holy life. | |
| You realize in Christianity, you are forgiven of your sins. | |
| They are washed away, not because you earn it, but because of grace. | |
| Now, whether you're a Christian or not, That is a far superior moral framework to design a society around. | |
| It's a lot better than what the critical race theorists would have just on the race issue, which is that you have white privilege and nothing you can do can remedy it. | |
| You have to live with the guilt of being racist for the rest of your life, and there is nothing you could do to break free of it. | |
| It is, by definition, a control tactic, and guilt is a political tactic. | |
| Because if you have millions of people, which by the way, you put that picture back up of middle-aged Jewish women from New York, how many of them walk around with guilt? | |
|
Central Planning and PR
00:02:29
|
|
| Probably a lot. | |
| You don't occupy Grand Central Terminal wearing, by the way, you see how many masks there are? | |
| Tells you the whole thing. | |
| These people are neurotic. | |
| I'd say there's probably half of the audience is wearing masks. | |
| Like, that's the tell right there. | |
| By the way, that's not an Arab occupation of Grand Central Terminal. | |
| These are allegedly, I mean, we don't know, right? | |
| But they are self-proclaiming that, they're self-describing themselves as Jewish voices against a continuation of what's happening in the Middle East. | |
| And by the way, how many of these wealthy liberal Jewish women that live on the Upper East Side wearing a mask after they get their ninth Pfizer vaccine, who go occupy Grand Central Terminal, how many of them will allow a Gaza refugee to come over for a Passover Seder or to be a housekeeper? | |
| Yeah, come on in. | |
| Come on in, hollid. | |
| Just here's a seat at the table. | |
| Of course not. | |
| But the driver of so much of this, the driver of neoconservatism is twofold or neoliberalism. | |
| Number one, it's arrogance. | |
| I can remake the world. | |
| We can handle it. | |
| Our culture is so superior, so strong that we can go make Iraq a democracy. | |
| Has it become an actual liberal democracy? | |
| Of course not. | |
| The premise of neoconservatism is that our ideas, our planning, the central planning of neoconservatism is no better than the central planning of Anthony Fauci. | |
| No different. | |
| Hubris, arrogance, pride, self-righteousness, that I can go into a third world country and because I'm in charge, I can remake them in our image. | |
| The second part is guilt. | |
| So you have this incredible tension between pride and guilt, like two of the lower impulses of our species, by the way. | |
| Those are not the higher virtues of courage, of love, or at the very least, justice, which Aristotle said is the messiest of all the virtues. | |
| So you have the animating force guilt, these people that are, they feel guilty because they live in the West and they can kind of figure it out by allowing in a bunch of foreigners. | |
| Or the second is pride. | |
| We're so strong, Nikki Haley says, that we can bring them in and change them. | |

Breaking the Right Apart

|
| Yeah, just tell that to Elon Omar. | |
| I got to be honest, the government of Israel has badly handled the PR of this, which should have been the easiest PR fight ever, starting to pick fights with celebrities. | |
| I think it's been better the last couple of weeks, honestly. | |
| But now this, this is so bad for me personally. | |
| And again, if they would have wrote this article without the last paragraph, I wouldn't be so intense about this. | |
| But I want to just reiterate, the international community has a moral imperative. | |
| We have a moral imperative to solve your mess. | |
| Are you kidding me? | |
| So we have a moral imperative to send you $14 billion, a moral imperative to send you $4 billion. | |
| And now we have a moral imperative to bring in the people you obviously don't want that no one in the region wants. | |
| Like, really? | |
| So I want to just reiterate this. | |
| And you see this kind of, like you see this bubbling up, right, in conservative circles. | |
| And I don't take this stuff seriously, right? | |
| That's not fair to say. | |
| I don't take this stuff heavily. | |
| I take it, I just kind of shrug it off. | |
| But if you were to type my name into a search engine, there has been this drumbeat of low IQ degenerates that are like, well, Charlie Kirk is anti-Semitic. | |
| It is so, it is so dishonest and damaging to American discourse to call someone like me anti-Semitic. | |
| And what it does is, forget me, is those of you that know my heart and that know my worldview, especially conservatives that are looking to see where they align on these issues, | |
| it doesn't exactly make you more likely to be engaged in the pro-Israel cause when you see someone like Charlie Kirk, who goes on campuses and defends Israel. | |
| I was just at UCLA, defending Israel, defending Israel, defending Israel, defending Israel. | |
| And how does that get you treated? | |
| It gets you treated by attacks not just from the left, but you get the Washington Times publishing a pile of trash saying that I'm an anti-Semite. | |
| And again, honestly, they don't listen to anything I've said. | |
| So what's to say they're going to listen now? | |
| But it's very important for those of you that care about Israel and care about the case. | |
| Israel has successfully sapped and drained the enthusiasm out of your most ardent supporters. | |
| That's what's happened. | |
| It doesn't change my, my beliefs don't change based on reaction. | |
| But your energy does. | |
| Your enthusiasm certainly does. | |
| Being smeared as an anti-Semite, I kind of say, really, guys? | |
| Okay. | |
| And then to add insult to injury, just one example of many, you're a bad person if you don't take in our foreigners. | |
| Oh, the foreigners. | |
| It's really, it's really something. | |
| It's kind of the new racism, to be honest. | |
| They call you a racist. | |
| They're like, oh, no, I'm not a racist. | |
| I'm not a racist. | |
| I'm not a racist. | |
| It doesn't bother me to be lied About like that. | |
| What does bother me is how dishonest the narrative and the zeitgeist has become from the right. | |
| Some people say that. | |
| And look, by the way, you see this current kind of feud happening between Shapiro and Candace, and I'm sure that thing's going to bubble up and keep on going. | |
| In some ways, this is breaking the right apart. | |
| And I guess my one piece of advice, for whatever it's worth, to the Israeli government or to pro-Israel voices or forces is: I don't know, someone like, let's just take myself, someone who honors the Shabbat, | |
| who studies the Torah literally for hours a week, who's trying to learn Biblical Hebrew, albeit clumsily, who is there for the embassy opening for Jerusalem and is accused of being a Jewish shill more times than not, and someone who has the heart for the Jewish people. | |
| Probably not strategic or wise to call that person an anti-Semite. | |
| Probably not. | |
| But hey, what do I know? | |
| The American right is losing its gusto for Israel. | |
| And part of it, not all of it, part of it is because of how ferocious, hostile, and unfair some, not all, but some pro-Israel forces, authors, and voices have been towards their greatest allies, myself included. | |
