=== Why The Left Misses Evil (06:41) ===

[00:00:00]  And the moral decay of the left.
[00:00:03]  I mean, if you can't distinguish right and wrong between the Hamas and Israel, you are a sick human being.
[00:00:12]  Truly sick.
[00:00:13]  You're sick in your soul.
[00:00:17]  Hamas is evil.
[00:00:18]  Is that not obvious?
[00:00:22]  Okay, the word Palestinian is irrelevant here.
[00:00:25]  Just like the word German was irrelevant in World War II, what was relevant was the word Nazi.
[00:00:30]  Okay?
[00:00:31]  Nazis were evil.
[00:00:32]  Hamas is evil.
[00:00:33]  I see very little difference between them.
[00:00:37]  The left doesn't see that.
[00:00:39]  The New York Times does not see that.
[00:00:41]  It's a moral cesspool out there.
[00:00:47]  Israel might be, which would not be the first time, Jews end up being the canary in the mine.
[00:00:56]  So what will the miners do?
[00:00:58]  The poison gas in the mine is leftism.
[00:01:00]  So will the Democratic Party leave the mine?
[00:01:06]  Will they fight the toxic fumes?
[00:01:09]  or will they die as all liberals have when they have supported the left?
[00:01:15]  So the waste matter will hit the fan on some issue and it appears that in this case it will be Israel.
[00:01:32]  The liberals are okay with all the anti-American evil coming from the left.
[00:01:38]  They're okay with the distortion of the human species into the belief that men give birth.
[00:01:45]  Well, some issue has got to give.
[00:01:49]  And apparently it might be Israel.
[00:01:55]  If you can't call Hamas evil, you're evil.
[00:02:00]  Are you a nice person personally?
[00:02:03]  Yes.
[00:02:04]  Could well be.
[00:02:07]  That happens.
[00:02:11]  Nice people have supported evil throughout history.
[00:02:16]  And not nice people have.
[00:02:19]  And the same on the other side.
[00:02:21]  Though I have no doubt that, as a general rule, conservatives are nicer than leftists.
[00:02:26]  If for no other reason, then they are happier.
[00:02:31]  Yeah, happy people make the world better, the unhappy make it worse.
[00:02:36]  It's one of the mottos of my happiness hour.
[00:02:41]  So, it's a very interesting thing, to say the least.
[00:02:49]  Well, except what we have here now.
[00:02:53]  Fox News.
[00:02:54]  Democrats take tougher stance against Israel as conflict escalates.
[00:03:00]  There's a growing schism in the Democratic Party over the U.S. relationship with Israel as some progressive lawmakers demand that President Biden take a tougher stance against the Israeli government amid an increasingly aggressive confrontation with Palestinian groups.
[00:03:21]  Oh, my God.
[00:03:24]  Well, that's why I wrote my column, which I ask you to look at on Town Hall at DennisPrager.com.
[00:03:33]  It comes out Tuesdays.
[00:03:34]  Then it moves to Daily Wire, American Greatness, and to the Jewish press, and a lot of other places.
[00:03:43]  But you can see it today at DennisPrager.com and Town Hall.
[00:03:48]  Men give birth.
[00:03:50]  The United States was founded in 1619, and Israel is the aggressor.
[00:03:57]  There you go.
[00:04:00]  Three things the left advocates and believes.
[00:04:07]  So it is.
[00:04:09]  Ryan in Aberdeen, South Dakota.
[00:04:11]  Hello.
[00:04:14]  Hey, thank you for taking my call, Dennis.
[00:04:16]  I've been a long time...
[00:04:19]  I'm a fan of PragerU and your work on the internet.
[00:04:24]  And just wanted to give a shout out to WZFG Fargo there and hearing your show for the week.
[00:04:32]  That's great.
[00:04:33]  I kind of wanted to talk about why, in my mind, the Israeli alliance with America is so important.
[00:04:46]  And I'm sure as a practicing religious Jew, you probably know the story of Moses and Jethro, his father-in-law, and the idea that when Moses asked Jethro how to be a leader of men, Jethro said, well, just don't try so hard, you know?
[00:05:10]  Whatever's local should remain local.
[00:05:15]  It is my belief that in the history of human affairs and government, two countries have enshrined that idea of freedom as a virtue into their founding documents, and that's Israel and America.
[00:05:42]  I believe that it's important, the Israeli-American alliance is important precisely because of that that those two countries have in common.
[00:05:55]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:05:57]  Well, what does America have in common with Hamas?
[00:06:02]  Ask the left that, compared to what America has in common with Israel.
[00:06:08]  20% of Israel is not Jewish, is Arab.
[00:06:13]  They sit in Parliament.
[00:06:15]  They are, in fact, the makers of the Prime Minister.
[00:06:19]  They're so powerful.
[00:06:20]  Because it's a Parliament, so you have to get a certain number of seats or party votes in order to be a Prime Minister.

=== Apartheid State Debate (00:22) ===

[00:06:29]  It's the way it works there, as it does in Europe, in the parliamentary system.
[00:06:36]  An Arab sat, maybe still sits, on the Israeli Supreme Court.
[00:06:42]  Some apartheid state, eh?
[00:06:45]  Well, men give birth.
[00:06:47]  Israel's an apartheid state.
