=== Jews and Aryan DNA Dreams (03:20) ===

[00:00:00]  I'm sure Benjamin Yatna Netanyahu has a lot of Aryan DNA.
[00:00:06]  And I am almost positive that he has a lot of Semitic DNA that if you look on a 23andMe chart would like place him in that area.
[00:00:16]  Well, is it Israel for Mizrahi Jews only?
[00:00:19]  Yeah, you could make that argument according to Tucker's logic, which is the only Jews who have a right are the ones that have just been there forever.
[00:00:27]  And they're the ones that are actually like indistinguishable from Palestinians and Arabs.
[00:00:34]  But it's basically the Ashkenazi Jews and the Sephardic Jews that are the straw that stirs the drink.
[00:00:41]  They've got some Aryan DNA.
[00:00:43]  A lot of them seem to have like 100% Aryan DNA.
[00:00:47]  Blonde hair and blue eyes.
[00:00:48]  You could find plenty of Jews like that.
[00:00:50]  The very least, they look very white and they sort of are white.
[00:00:54]  And they want to do stuff like Zionism, which is many things, but in the original or a base conception, a basic conception by Herzl is like part of the nationalist wave of the 19th century leading into the 20th century.
[00:01:14]  Every population should have a homeland.
[00:01:17]  We Jews, I wish we could assimilate, but we just can't.
[00:01:22]  And it's become embarrassing.
[00:01:24]  We've become a joke.
[00:01:26]  We're ghettoized.
[00:01:27]  We hate our neighbors.
[00:01:28]  We're weird, etc.
[00:01:30]  So we need our own homeland where we can ironically become more Aryan.
[00:01:36]  Like we're not going to be bankers or playwrights like Herzl.
[00:01:41]  We're going to be farmers.
[00:01:42]  We're going to be badass.
[00:01:45]  This is the kind of contradictory impulse within Zionism.
[00:01:50]  And it is admirable in many ways.
[00:01:54]  It's understandable at the very least.
[00:01:57]  I mean, I think I mentioned this, this Carl Shorsky, Shorsky, I believe.
[00:02:02]  Yeah.
[00:02:02]  I haven't read this book in a while.
[00:02:03]  I should revisit it.
[00:02:04]  But he has a book on Fantasie Echo Vienna.
[00:02:08]  Yeah.
[00:02:09]  And he has a number of different chapters.
[00:02:11]  It's kind of an elliptical book.
[00:02:13]  And he talked about this diary entry from Herzl that he listened to, I forgot which one, which opera it was.
[00:02:23]  It might have been like, I think he might have listened to Tannhuizer.
[00:02:27]  Yeah, it's Tannhuizer by Wagner.
[00:02:29]  And he had an image of this march of Jews through Vienna, and they would go to Stefan's Dome, and they would all do a mass conversion to Catholicism.
[00:02:41]  And it would just basically be like, we give up.
[00:02:45]  Like, we're no longer Jews.
[00:02:48]  We are fully assimilated here.
[00:02:50]  We're just giving over an identity to embrace this Christian, Catholic, Germanic, European identity.
[00:02:59]  And that was one, again, this is an unpublished thing, but it's a kind of fantasy of Jews of just total assimilation that even Herzl would flirt with.
[00:03:12]  And he obviously, you know, in his explicit work, went in a totally different direction, the opposite direction.

=== Almost See Us Give Up (00:24) ===

[00:03:20]  But you can almost like see that of, you know, like an internet atheist who writes in his journal, like, I just want to, ah, this is too hard.
[00:03:29]  I just want to give it up and just be like, Christ, take me.
[00:03:33]  I get it.
[00:03:34]  It's very human.
[00:03:36]  Anyway, these are the contradictory emotional and intellectual currents at the heart of Zionism.
