=== Why Jews Shocked by Left's Abandonment (03:41) ===

[00:00:00]  There's all this talk about Elon Musk being an anti-Semite.
[00:00:07]  It's amazing.
[00:00:08]  I wrote a piece two, three weeks ago.
[00:00:12]  My column was about why are Jews so shocked that the left has abandoned them if the Jews, that Jew, individual Jew, or the Jews in general are...
[00:00:29]  Are worried about Israel and haven't the Jews played such a disproportionate role and profound role on the left?
[00:00:41]  I mean, saying that is not even debatable.
[00:00:48]  That doesn't mean most Jews are leftists.
[00:00:51]  It does mean that Jews have played a disproportionate role.
[00:00:58]  Is the figurehead, and yet awful Jewish organizations like the ADL, who do more damage than good for Jews, say that if you attack George Soros, it's anti-Semitic.
[00:01:14]  I wonder if ADL had been around in 1917. If you attacked Leon Schrotsky, were you anti-Semitic?
[00:01:28]  George Soros is not attacked because he's a Jew.
[00:01:31]  He's attacked because he's evil.
[00:01:35]  He doesn't even identify as a Jew.
[00:01:37]  The whole thing is remarkable.
[00:01:41]  When he's called a Jew, he's being misgendered.
[00:01:46]  He's being deadnamed.
[00:01:49]  Isn't that true?
[00:01:52]  George Soros is...
[00:01:54]  George Soros has...
[00:01:56]  Less in common with Judaism than most Protestant pastors.
[00:02:07]  That's a given.
[00:02:08]  That's pretty obvious.
[00:02:10]  But he's being attacked because he agreed with a tweet talking about Jews and the left.
[00:02:20]  I wrote about this 40 years ago.
[00:02:23]  The chickens will come home to roost for Jews who either are on the left or vote for the left.
[00:02:32]  But because I have done far more for the Jews than the ADL, yes, little old me, there's no question, I have done more good for Jews than the ADL. I have helped bring more people to a respect or even a liking of Jews.
[00:02:52]  Than the ADL has, I have more effectively combated anti-Israel hate through my videos and through my debate at Oxford and so on in my books.
[00:03:05]  I brought more Jews to Judaism than anyone I can think of who is living.
[00:03:14]  So I can say things that perhaps a non-Jew like Musk is not allowed to say.
[00:03:26]  The whole attack on Musk as being anti-Semitic or allowing hate on Twitter, or now X, is to shut him down because the left always suppresses free speech.

=== No Example Since 1917 (00:17) ===

[00:03:41]  There's no example since 1917 of the left being in power, whether in a country or at an institution.
[00:03:51]  And not shutting down dissent.
[00:03:55]  Free speech is the, is the antidote to leftism.
