=== Intersectionality and Israel (02:50) ===

[00:00:00]  I spoke yesterday at a rally in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills to be precise, on behalf of Israel.
[00:00:08]  Noting, as I have on the show, that if you cannot call Hamas evil, it is only a reflection on you.
[00:00:16]  You have either an agenda of Israel's destruction or you are so blindsided and indeed blinded by propaganda of the left.
[00:00:30]  That it's a very sad, very sad and worrisome situation.
[00:00:36]  You know, they speak on the left about intersectionality.
[00:00:40]  You've all heard about that, right?
[00:00:43]  Intersectionality.
[00:00:44]  Everything's related to something else.
[00:00:46]  So that even though gays have full rights in Israel and have no rights in almost any Muslim country and certainly Israel's neighbors, Nevertheless, a gay should support the anti-Israel crowd.
[00:01:07]  Right?
[00:01:08]  That is the argument of LGBT. We have no rights among the Palestinians.
[00:01:13]  We have all rights among the Jews.
[00:01:16]  But nevertheless, support the Palestinian aim of exterminating Israel.
[00:01:24]  Because it's intersectional.
[00:01:26]  You have to be anti-West, anti-colonialist, etc., if you are LGBTQ. So I was thinking, there really is intersectionality.
[00:01:41]  I have sort of modified my view on it.
[00:01:44]  There is intersectionality on the left.
[00:01:51]  It came across beautifully during the Palestinian or the Gazans or really Hamas' massive attempt to murder as many Israelis as possible and Israel's response.
[00:02:07]  Now, let me ask you a question.
[00:02:10]  If you say men give birth, what are the chances of your being pro-Hamas?
[00:02:21]  Interesting question, isn't it?
[00:02:26]  By golly, there is intersectionality.
[00:02:31]  What are the odds of a person who says men give birth supporting in this last war Hamas?

=== Belief Over Reality (03:37) ===

[00:02:42]  I would say the odds are 99 to 1. Nearly 100% of those who say that.
[00:02:49]  We'll be pro-Hamas.
[00:02:52]  What percentage of people who say, no, only women give birth, will be pro-Israel?
[00:03:00]  Again, I suspect that the percentage is virtually overwhelming.
[00:03:05]  Not virtually, is overwhelming.
[00:03:09]  Now, one would ask, why does one have anything to do with the other?
[00:03:19]  Whether or not you believe men give birth, why should that have anything to do with whom you supported in the last couple of weeks, Hamas or Israel?
[00:03:34]  And think about it.
[00:03:35]  What is the answer to that question?
[00:03:40]  It's not easy.
[00:03:43]  The obvious answer is you don't think clearly on any issue.
[00:03:48]  So therefore, if you don't think clearly on any issue, you don't think clearly on any issue.
[00:03:52]  Okay.
[00:03:53]  But that's true.
[00:03:57]  But it's not enough.
[00:04:02]  It's your ability to digest reality, moral reality, and reality is compromised.
[00:04:12]  Or you believe only what the left tells you to believe.
[00:04:17]  That might be hitting it more accurately.
[00:04:23]  You believe men give birth, you're adamant about it.
[00:04:27]  You even tell us science backs you up.
[00:04:31]  And by the way, the list is long.
[00:04:38]  The people who think you should wear masks after being vaccinated, I'll bet you the great majority of those are pro-Hamas.
[00:04:48]  What does that have to do with anything, right?
[00:04:51]  It's a phenomenon.
[00:04:58]  It is truly a phenomenon.
[00:05:03]  It's worth making a list.
[00:05:05]  If you believe X, then you will believe A, B, C, D, E, F, G. And if you believe Y, you will believe H, I, J, K, L, M, N. Right?
[00:05:18]  Basically, people agree on nothing.
[00:05:25]  Nothing.
[00:05:29]  If you believe, how about this?
[00:05:31]  If you believe that there was Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, I'll bet you were more likely to be pro-Hamas.
[00:05:40]  Now, why would that be?
[00:05:41]  What does one have to do with the other?
[00:05:44]  Because the left told you to believe something.
[00:05:50]  Doesn't matter if it's true.
[00:05:52]  Doesn't matter if it's moral.
[00:05:57]  That's why I have said for years that the gulf between left and right is unbridgeable.
[00:06:02]  It's not on one or two issues.
[00:06:09]  Well, welcome to the show.
[00:06:11]  I'm Dennis Prager.
