Starting point is 00:05:45 We had Ismail Lutfi on Friday, and it was a fucking hilarious and fun episode. And the fact that y'all are missing it, That's a crying shame, I say. It's what I say. It started off with you and me realizing that we'd been mispronouncing his name for a long time. We thought his name was Lufty, as in like Luftwaffe. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Maybe it's that Holocaust education. See, this is a problem with Holocaust education, you know. Problems. Is there a, is there like a, I mispronounce my friend's names. Is there like a crepery and like, you know, Belgian dessert place called Luftwaffe? Oh, if there's not. Because there needs to be. There should be.
Starting point is 00:06:23 and you know what I'd give them a pass for a good pun you can pretty much name your business anything if the pun is good including stuff that is objectively offensive that's right Daniel homie what's this been today Monday November 24th and we're recording this Jimmy Cliff died today at age 81 the great reggae artist and he did the soundtrack famously to the harder they come yeah and you know songs like you can get it if you really want
Starting point is 00:06:52 and oh i love that song yeah by the rivers of babylon he sang and oh that was him no sorry that's not him but it's on this soundtrack so he sort of yeah he uh i like he's featured heavily and i think he was in the film uh might have starred in the film anyway um so i've got that and um and then a bunch of other uh soundtracks to classic black films there's uh the dangerous minds i don't have that one i don't have that one i think of It's a very white film. I filed that one under Fyfer. Fyper's her own, her own genre.
Starting point is 00:07:30 It's not a black film. It's not a white film. It's a Fyfer film. And not Fife Dog from a Tribe Call Quest. Ganja and Hess is a cult classic. And this is the soundtrack to that. Nice. There's a record I don't have, but I realized I had to get it.
Starting point is 00:07:44 So I just ordered it. Here it is. It's the soundtrack to the classic Jamaican film Rockers. And I saw this film a long time ago. and there's just one line that's stuck in my memory because he keeps saying he's this reggae drummer who buys a new motorbike. There's not much of a plot.
Starting point is 00:08:03 He gets his motorbike stolen by a bunch of gangsters and he keeps saying, Rasta, dem tif, Iman bike. Demtief, Iman bike. And that line has stuck in my head for a long time. Demtif? Demtif, they thieved. Ah, man, my bike. I love Jamaican, what is it, Patois?
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yeah, yeah. It's just, it's just the coolest. It is a, it is a cool language. Shaft, of course. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, Barry. It's a bad mother, shut your mouth. Isaac.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Isaac Hayes. Curtis Mayfield Superfly. Of course, one of the greatest. Ghost dog, Forrest Whitaker, Jim Jarmush, Riza, from Wutan Klan, did the soundtrack. That's right. Really cool album. Slam the soundtrack. Saul Williams starred in this film.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I don't know Slam. Do you know Saul Williams? Sounds familiar. We need to have him on the show. He's a really staunch Palestine advocate. Incredible poet. Incredible poet. He's collaborated with Zach Delaroca.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Oh, yeah. I know him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he starred in this as a Washington, D.C. poet who goes to jail over some petty weed positions in the 90s. It's got an incredible soundtrack. including his poetry. It's a great.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Sonia Sohn, who played, you know who. Oh, of course. Sonia Greggs. Yeah. She's the love interest in the film, a fellow poet. Yeah. What is, uh, Kima? She's Kima.
Starting point is 00:09:35 So she comes to jail. On the wire, if you don't know. On the wire. So she comes to the prison he's in and leads a poetry workshop for the men there and they fall in love. Anyway, it's a beautiful film. And finally, what serious look at black films and soundtracks would be complete without high school high the john levitz film you see john lovitz with the jufro there i don't know if that
Starting point is 00:10:02 does a jew frow there going on well yeah yeah yeah it's going to i forgot his blackface movie yeah it's where he plays a high school teacher and it's sort of a parody or it's a parody of dangerous minds yes yes yes that's it's sort of the scary movie for that genre yeah that's the movie that introduced me to the, what is it, is not Bruce Johnston, the other Beach Boy, who, touring Beach Boy, who was
Starting point is 00:10:31 with them, who wrote Reinstone Cowboy. What's the name of that guy? Don't know. You don't know, like a Rhinstone Cowboy. I know the song. I don't know who wrote it. All right. Well, I'm going to look it up now
Starting point is 00:10:45 because this is important for everyone to know. Glenn Campbell. Glenn Campbell. Okay, yeah, very good. Glenn Campbell. was in the touring beach boys for a while when Brian left. Got it. And he was in this film? No. He did that song,
Starting point is 00:10:59 Rhinestone Cowboy, gets remixed at one point. It was in the trailer. Big laugh line for us. Got it. 12-year-olds. Well, you got Keras one. You got De LaSole. You got the Braxton's. You got the roots.
Starting point is 00:11:13 So it's a great soundtrack. There you go. Ladies and gentlemen. There is. And the rest of peace, Jimmy Cliff. Yes. And now it is time to introduce our guest. You know her already.
Starting point is 00:11:24 You love her already. She is. She comes pre-approved. I mean, this guest comes back and every time it is the best episode we've ever had. We have very, there's only a handful, I would say, of Bad Hasbarra guests who constantly get brought up in the comment section every time. Like, have this person back, have that person back. And one of them is our guest, journalist, you know. her from of course electronic intifada ladies and gentlemen and everyone else welcome back to the
Starting point is 00:11:57 podcast nora barrows freedbag hi guys is this my fourth four is this four four four four four maybe five even could i i don't know it's at so many once you start losing count that's how you know that's how you know that you're one of our most prized guests oh so good to have you back have you been um still still bad still bad but um but really good to see you all. Yeah, yeah. Things suck. We're all in it together.
Starting point is 00:12:26 It's fine. I have to ask you, we haven't, because there's been so much Hasbara on, like sort of proxy Hasbara around Mamdani and New York and we're going to,
Starting point is 00:12:38 and like ridiculous American figures like Sarah Hurwitz popping off and giving us just massive fountains of slop. It's been a while since we did any sort of check-in on what's actually going on in Gaza. and since you are part of the electronic intifada whose primary mission is to report from the ground and on what's happening there,
Starting point is 00:13:00 we don't have too much time to spend on it but I was wondering if you could just give us an update like what's the state of the so-called ceasefire and what's happening? Yeah, so there's not a ceasefire. What? But they said. I know, but they said.
Starting point is 00:13:16 They promised. They promised. No, they just keep massacres. Palestinians, lots of children. The siege is still in place. So there's, you know, no food infrastructure, repair, supplies, medicine, medical equipment coming in. Is the killing happening from the air on the ground? Are there Israeli soldiers in Gaza? Yes. Yes, there are still Israeli soldiers in Gaza. they've kind of partitioned it into this like very dystopian the whole thing is dystopian but this very like ridiculous like basically like concentrating all the
Starting point is 00:14:00 Palestinians into a smaller and smaller and smaller strip they're calling it like the red zone and then outside of that is the yellow line and the so-called yellow line it's very vague Of course, it's invisible. The Israelis keep pushing it further and further west. And so it's a concentration camp within a concentration camp, within a concentration camp, and people are still being slaughtered and starving and dying of all sorts of just horrific and preventable diseases. Of course, the winter is upon the Palestinians and.
Starting point is 00:14:43 with, you know, something like 92% of all buildings destroyed and no rubble able to be cleared, people are drowning in freezing cold sewage water. And there's no tents, no shelters. There's thousands and thousands of, you know, tarps and tents and mobile homes ready to be delivered to Gaza. but you know whatever Israel wants it gets and it has you know it just keeps preventing all these essential things from being delivered to Gaza so it's a it's a catastrophe it's an ongoing genocide and it hasn't stopped yeah and this is right here what you're talking about with this yellow line here this is what they are doing in Gaza in terms of concentrating you know pushing people
Starting point is 00:15:40 closer and closer to the sea, which is, you know, I would say ironic. But at this point, it's just, it's ridiculous to even consider the idea that Israelis are or have ever been afraid of being pushed into the sea, which is always been. Yeah, it's always the line that they've, they've had when they are literally right now. Yeah, that's one of the classic lines. That's one of that, I grew up with that line. Yeah. Yeah, same. And it was, it was one of those things I never questioned because I wasn't sure if it was a metaphor or if it was something that people did
Starting point is 00:16:17 like is that some people do they're like oh I hate this group of people let's push them into the ocean and I always confused me and then you know of course as I grew up and saw where Gaza was situated oh you mean right along the sea
Starting point is 00:16:35 yeah I was like oh I think I I think I've seen this before I've heard about this, this whole pushing into the sea thing. I mean, it's fucking, you know, it's awful and we're at a point right now where the media narrative, they've tried very hard to shift it as soon as the, quote, ceasefire, you know, happened. And the hostage exchange, the captive exchange happened. We were supposed to all move on from it and forget about, you know, what's happening. and of course we all knew this was just going to continue.
Starting point is 00:17:13 And it's interesting to see the way in which the story still has been fairly resilient. You know, it's one of the things that kind of, you know, I was worried, I think, you know, once this all happened, I was like, this is going to be a perfect excuse for anyone who is, you know, gaining any sort of like political track. from this issue, to abandon it, to be like, oh, this is good. So I don't have to care about this anymore because, you know, the majority of people have stopped caring because the news told them everything was fine. And instead, you see, you know, a civil war on the right when it comes to this issue. And you still see an insurgent left movement actually winning, you know, in some aspects in our own American, you know, electoral system.
Starting point is 00:18:07 not that they're not that they're not trying when we get to our story about this a furor not furor but furor about the other furor who knows now you're right yeah about the the protest of the Parqueaths synagogue a lot of the Hasbarists wanted to trot out
Starting point is 00:18:30 there's not even a war going on anymore it's a ceasefire what are they so upset about yes you see it was never about Zionism it was never about Israel all along it was just about Jews but I don't want to I don't want to we won't jump ahead of us but you know it is that's why you know it is I think for those of you who listen and watch this podcast who are in that kind of like helpless space of just like seeing this you know continue to go on and you know what am what am I going to do other than you know putting your money where your mouth is and trying to support whatever you can out there,
Starting point is 00:19:08 you know, whoever's got a chuffed account or, you know, whatever organization out there is actually doing good work. Other than that, it is about not letting go of this and remembering that they lie and they will continue to lie to you. That's all Israel does is lie, break, you know, promises, violate whatever treaties or ceasefires or agreements. And they get rewarded for it. So why wouldn't they? Yeah. It's been 80 years of being rewarded for doing the most heinous, genocidal, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, racist shit imaginable. So why would they stop now? Yeah. Doing racist shit while simultaneously acting offended and pearl clutching at perceived racist insults. They're so sad and their feelings are so hurt and that's the most important thing is
Starting point is 00:20:04 their feelings. Yes, yes. We must center Jewish feelings. This is the Jewish feelings podcast. And we remember that we are the center of the universe. And what happens to us is the only thing that matters. The center of Gravlock, Savida. No.
Starting point is 00:20:21 No, you'll get there. Yeah, yeah. Work it out now. But I, speaking of that, centering Jewish feelings, I have a small, I'm Israel AI segment I'd like to do and I of course cannot do it without first playing the bumper Picture of a lion
Starting point is 00:20:45 with an Israeli flag and a picture of Hamas an octopus or a boss I'm Israel I'm Israel I'm Israel I'm Israel A-I
Starting point is 00:21:06 Israel A-I Israel-A-I Oh my God I love it Every time I play it I go I'm not going to play the whole thing And then I'm just like You know there are people who are dancing right now
Starting point is 00:21:18 So I was on Twitter as I like to do And I saw this post From Friend of the Pod Alon Levy who was posting about, well, I'll show it to you. It's from the Jewish News Network,
Starting point is 00:21:36 Archbishop of York accuses Israel of committing, quote, genocidal acts in Gaza. And he wrote, quote, church accuses Jews of poisoning wells. It's genuinely staggering how little Britain has changed since the Middle Ages in some major respects. It's genuinely staggering how Jews have learned how to take their cue from those who were in power in the Middle Ages.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Isn't that staggering? It's, yeah, you know, the things that stagger me are the ways in which middle-age anti-Semitic tropes are now just a list of things we're allowed to do. It's just like, no, we can pretty much do anything. As long as we say it was a trope before, that is something that it's reparations for saying that we poison wells. Don't be going out at night, dearie. The Jews, they come in the night time and they haunt the local shepherds and they'll kill the goats and they'll put them in the wells, won't they?
Starting point is 00:22:36 But mommy, isn't that an old wife's tale? Oh, no, it's very true. The Jewish settlers will come and they'll haunt your dreams. Yeah, I mean, listen, if you're taking all of your, you know, terrorism strategies from old middle age anti-Semitic tropes, that's on you. That's not on the fucking people who are like, don't do that. Also, this guy in this, you know, this Archbishop of York did, at least in the headline, does not say Jews are poisoning wells. To be clear. That's in the West Bank, at least. Jews are poisoning wells. Yeah, now that's what they do in the West Bank. They put, they just last week, they put like, they kidnapped and slaughtered all these like sheep. And then they put the bodies of the sheep in the, in the village wells. Yes. To poison the wells. Jews did that. Yeah. And it's like, it sucks that Jews are doing that. But that is Jews doing that in the West Bank.
Starting point is 00:23:35 You can't just, and so I just wrote like this stupid tweet. At some point, I should try to make matzah out of Christian blood and see if I can get away with it by saying big yikes to the DA who comes after me. Because like the whole thing is like, oh, you're accusing me of a trope. Like, wow, trope much, you know, like I'm Jewish. But I'm Jewish. You can't accuse me of that. If I literally do that and I, they're like, they have no choice but to prosecute me for it. And I go, oh, wow, this is a bit problematic, you guys.
Starting point is 00:24:08 I think we have to talk about my feelings here. Yes. You know that trope is the name for the notational, musical notational system by which people chant Torah? If you read trope, you can read the words, but also read the melody with the marking that go like as a bar mitzvah boy you learn to read the little trope markings yeah trope look at that wow I'm learning something new every day that is amazing are baked into our tropes are part of it so deep so this this tweet is you know whatever I did a tweet and then he started getting attacked by someone who's been like so this is like
Starting point is 00:24:50 I have like a handful of people who I would say are kind of like regulars um you know on your dick yeah yeah that well they yeah they they they've been on my dick for a while you know and i kind of uh i don't you know for the most part i don't block people on on twitter because uh it's just funnier to never respond to them and just kind of see what happens but this person who's finally had enough of me and i just want to show you a series of tweets that they made um Do you think this is funny? Mata, you fucking loser. You're not funny.
Starting point is 00:25:29 You suck balls. Here you are playing donkey. How does someone play donkey? I'll show you. Her name is Claudine Gay Flintstone. Claudine Gay Flintstone, Clal Yisra Kel. Thanks, producer Adam, for coming in, making a salient point here.
Starting point is 00:25:49 In her defense, you do suck balls, he said. I do. That's fair. It's just factual. That's right. As Norman Ficklstein says, I never quarrel with facts. That's right. The fact is balls go in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:26:01 But this person then... They go in and then they go slightly out and then they go back in. And then go right back in. And so this person then proceeded to just make AI versions of me, quote, unquote, doing various sexual acts with a donkey. The ones that I will show, I mean, it's AI, so I, you know, at least unless you have some sort of... SORA password protected porn type thing. There's no actual porn on this, so I can show it. But here's the first image.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Who is that? This is me playing donkey, Nora. Underneath the Golden Gate? Yeah, I guess because this account knows I lived in San Francisco. Here's another one. Oh, my God. Look at the first one. Wow, at least they gave you like a big package.
Starting point is 00:26:50 This one is Mark Maren. Yeah. I just want to know what, what do this person type in? One hump or two, Matt. I know it. This is a double hump. One of them spilled with water. That's a camel.
Starting point is 00:27:04 That is a camel. This is another one. Once again, it's me. Is that quaint tower in the back? That's super hot. Yeah, it is. Yeah. My AI mats are far superior.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Yes, that's true, Adam. Adam actually can make me, like, his scare me. And then finally, this is me. Yes. Like as a, what's it called? One of those satyrs, the horse donkey man. But hold on, hold on, hold on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:32 The donkey's head is sticking through my, yes. Through your, your jock. Thong? Mm-hmm. Your thong, yeah. Oh, yeah. And that phase, that looks actually like producer Youngchomsky of Truenon. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:46 That does look like him. And then you see the Transamerica building in the background. So I just want to shout out to my haters for, using me as their muse to make art. I really appreciate that. I think I just covered, excuse me, God damn it. Let me try that again. Do it again.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Take two. Forgive me, Rabbi. I think I just coveted my neighbor's ass. Fantastic. Fantastic. So that is, that's today's Israel AI segment. We're moving on from that. to talk about something else last week, Nora.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Was it last week? I think it was. I don't know if you're aware of everything that was going on in New York with Mamdani's, you know, with his win, the ADL has been on his ass. And of course, they've been on his ass since before them. But after his win, the head of the ADL, Jonathan Greenblatt, went on various news programs to announce a new phone line at the ADL called the Mamdani Monitor.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Fantastic. He said on MSNBC, Jews of New York, we have your back. We're launching the Mamdani Monitor. The morning after the fucking... God. You know, he's greater...
Starting point is 00:29:13 He's such a loser. I hate that guy. He's the biggest loser in the world. What a sad, sad man. Just the saddest man. I mean, you know, his life is like, you think he has like a picture of like Stephen Miller somewhere in his room where he's just like, curses! There's already a bald Jewish Nazi out there who's got more power
Starting point is 00:29:38 than I do. It's a very sad genetic mix to be Latvian on your dad's side and gila monster on your mom. Well, that's the thing about the gila monster. Hav and a gila monster. He's a havin a gila monster. He's the havin a gila monster. Well, unfortunately, Mandani is a victim of the gila monster's bite, because as you know, once it bites, it does not let go. You have to pry their jaws off at the crowbar.
Starting point is 00:30:04 And he is not letting go of Mandani. He created this basically a phone line where you can call in as a New Yorker and you can report acts of anti-Semitism. This is, of course, in order to up the numbers of... Which the ADL is famous for... doing. You know, they have every year they have a, they have a anti-Semitism tracker, whatever, and they put out all their data in a spreadsheet and they say, you know, anti-Semitic incidents were up 4,000 percent last year, whatever, and you go down the list of what they consider
Starting point is 00:30:37 an anti-Semitic incident. It's like a person saw a Palestine flag pin somewhere at a grocery store. Right. Yeah. They really put the, they really put the Jew in juking the stats. They're right. That's it. That's it. They, Jake those stats. You're fired on all cylinders. Wow. Daniel Latte. Wow. But yeah. So what's really funny about the Mamdani monitor is also like, isn't that already? Like you just, this is what the ADL does.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Why are you acting like this is a new thing that the ADL is doing? But because of that, we had an even better helpline that we invited not just New Yorkers, but the entire world to participate in. It is called the Batar help call line. You call in. Is that a box of Kleenex on the table? That is. Yeah, one hand is a Kleenex and the other one is a missile.
Starting point is 00:31:35 You know. And yeah, and you, of course, still can call in. Phone lines are always open. You can leave a voicemail or you can text at this number, 747-347-348-259. It's a great thing to do together as a family is right after you. Do you like the menorah? Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Call in. Or use the Kleenex? Yeah, yeah, or the missile. For a purpose or the missile. Yes. And so we invite people to call in to talk about an instance of anti-Semitism that they perceived. And we at Betar help will tell them whether or not it counts as anti-Semitism. You know, because, you know, there are some things that don't count.
Starting point is 00:32:18 For example, doing a Sig-Hile-Mexamint. Nazi salute at the inauguration of the president. As long as you're pro-Israel and you're also allowing your website, which you acquired for $48 billion to spout out just a bunch of pro-Israel nonsense, you can do that. Or if you're Trump, you can say Shylock as much as you want as John Podhoritz put so succinctly on Twitter. So we will let you know whether or not it counts. And we have a few submissions. So I want to, first we'll start. start with... Do I get to vote? Oh, yeah. You have to consult. You get to...
Starting point is 00:32:55 I'm a consultant? Yes, you are a consultant. You are finally part of the consultant class. Welcome. It's a dream. Oh, God. It is a dream. And we'll start with the text messages. And we will all, you know, we'll talk it out, see if it counts. All right, first text message. Hi, I went to see fish. And they didn't play a vain and they weren't smoked.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Yes, and they weren't smoke. Oh, that actually almost works in a couple kind of way. And they didn't play Avainu Malcanu. Avianu Malcanu. Yeah. Is that anti-Semitism? Yes. You're counting that.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Okay, okay. Daniel, what do you think? I think that all bands, sorry, I think all bands should play Jewish folk music. I agree. Yeah. And if they don't, that gets added to the list of anti-Semitic incidents. I agree. I agree. I agree. By the strict, honestly, by the strict dictates of the Betar help line, which we are here to represent. We're not here to represent our personal opinions, but there is a sort of standard just for the Mumdani, just like there is for the Mumdani Monitor.
Starting point is 00:34:13 there. So I'm going to have to dissent and say, I'm going to have to ask the person, did they play Jerusalem of gold? Oh. Did they play the Palmach theme song? Oh. You know, the marching fighting song of the Palmach. Did they play Hatikva? Did they do a 25-minute jam band version of Hatikva that you could trip out to?
Starting point is 00:34:38 Right. If not, then you were probably the victim of a hate crime. By omission. Yeah, yeah. Because there are hate crimes by omission. Right. Avina Mol Cano. Do they play a 25-minute version of that chicken dance song, that won Eurovision that year?
Starting point is 00:34:52 Exactly. Yes. Or the ones, I was listening to the Jamie Loftus episode that you guys just did, which was great. Because I love her. Her book is fantastic. She's great. I was like so excited. And she was, and you guys were talking with her about that, that new track by the Israeli
Starting point is 00:35:10 girl band where they have the home. blowing up in the background during the first 10 seconds. And if Fish doesn't A, cover that song, wear the costumes and blow up their set behind them while they're playing, then that is, then they've done in anti-Semitism. All right. Where am I going? Let me see.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I think that if you went to a Fish concert and your first question isn't, is it anti-Semitic for me to go? see live music when the Nova music festival happened, then you are actually doing anti-Semitism by texting that question. Also, I would say that by association, who made an ice cream flavor dedicated to fish? Oh, good. Call. Ben and Jerry's did that. What are you doing, man? What are you doing? What are you doing going to eat that fish food? You understand that, you know, fish is essentially Hamas now. So you come here, you don't mention Nova, and you are seeing a band that partnered with Hamas. This is what's going to happen. People are going to call to this hotline playing all
Starting point is 00:36:23 innocent saying they're looking for incidents against them, but they might actually be the perpetrator. That's right. If you smelt it, you dealt it. That's right. That's right. And, you know, that is, that's in the Geneva Convention. Yeah, basically. We are going to go to a voicemail now. and then we'll finish off with a text message. Here is a voicemail from someone who, of course, called the helpline and needs our help. Hello, I have what I believe might be a case of anti-Semitism happening outside of my house right now.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I am Jewish, and I am seeing a Palestinian flag and something that says, free, free Palestine, and from the river to the sea. Now, I did put them up there myself, but I'm wondering, am I being anti-Semitic towards myself right now? So should I just, like, you know, get some Batar help so that I'm no longer anti-Semitic, internally, I guess. Thank you so much, Mazel to. This is a very brave question. I really appreciate this.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Or Shalom. I miss that. How much, Mazel-Tah, or Shalom. Bye. So look, I really appreciate this question. There's a lot of courage in this because one of the things that many of us are scared to admit is that anti-Semitism is coming at us from all angles, you know?
Starting point is 00:37:56 Yes. From our families, from our workplaces, from the media, from the kids. You know? Everywhere. I'm just like, oh, no. I don't have any more room for it. Oh, oh, no. Every angle.
Starting point is 00:38:16 But we so often overlook the self-attacks. The self-attacks. Did Adam say something funny? The buccocky of anti-Semitism. Go on. Yeah, very good. Yeah, yeah, two girls, one kiddish cup. And I was bouncing around his chair.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Yeah. So the self-attacks, you know, it's always the hardest when these internal parts attack us. And that self-loathing is the part of you that must have while you weren't looking, or maybe in full view of you, went out and planted those flags and those banners. And we don't like to advocate self-harm on this show. But have you ever watched the television show Severance? I've seen it. So there's a creative, you know, we certainly wouldn't want you to do anything to harm yourself. I mean, yourself, the self that is calling.
Starting point is 00:39:18 That's right. However, there is apparently, because television wouldn't lie to us, prestige TV would not lie. There is apparently some kind of surgical procedure out there that can attack just one part of your... The subconscious. subconscious. So I don't know Dr. Ragabi, where you are out there, if you have a version of this for anti-Zionist parts of the brain, but I would encourage you to do some IFS internal family systems therapy, which works on parts, and hopefully you can find an IFS therapist who will help
Starting point is 00:39:53 you hunt down, snitch on, imprison, and bury, if not murder outright, that part of you that is doing this, and then you will have peace. It's like a brain bris. A brain bris. Very good. A brain bris is the new name for a full frontal lobotomy. It's a brain bris. It'll make you calm.
Starting point is 00:40:18 That's amazing. Pour a little wine on it afterwards. You know, I tend to agree with you. I will say that hearing this question for me was a little bit traumatized. Because, like, if you were going to be out there, you know, doing acts that are anti-Semitic, it would really be helpful if you instead could just draw swastika on a synagogue. Or, you know, just get some spray paint and go to a sidewalk and just be like, Jews, boo, you know, something like that. That, at the very least, is the type of helpful anti-Semitism that is actually pro-Semitism. So please, you know.
Starting point is 00:41:10 You mean because people are desensitized and we haven't managed to convince the world that Free Free, Free Palestine is actually anti-Semitic, so we need some of that harder, raw shit? I think we all know that people keep questioning that shit. And it's, you know, I'm not sure if it helps. So let's just go back to the classics, you know. Call in bomb threats. on several hundred synagogues throughout the country as was done by it. Parity, parody, parody, parody.
Starting point is 00:41:38 No, no, no, no, no, yes. This is something that a Jewish kid did. Comedy, comedy. Yes, yes. A joke, bit, having fun. Having a laugh. Yeah. That's a real story that when I...
Starting point is 00:41:53 Taking the piss. Taking a piece. Yeah, that is a real story. of something that happened and I was shocked by it because I think he was Israeli too. Yes, yes, yes. It was in order to drum up much needed. Much needed, fear in the Jewish community.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Fear and victimization. And also, like, the most important thing, again, feelings. Yes. Perceived victimization. That's right. built out of nothing and in fact constructed specifically by someone yeah i mean that's that's the that's the best that's the best we can do and we just got to keep doing it manufacturing consternation yeah um so let's say yes um yes yes you are anti-semitic uh and of course if you are jewish um
Starting point is 00:42:49 then uh you must move to israel as penance yes our final anti-Semitic, and please do better at being anti-Semitic. Yes, exactly. Make it count. Make it count. I know. If you're going to do it, make it count. Do not throw away your shop.
Starting point is 00:43:05 In for a penny, in for a pound. In for a pound of flesh. I'm sorry. A pound of flesh. Is that an anti-Semitic comment? In for a penny? I don't know. I mean, in for a penny, in for a pound, does sound anti-Semitic, but I can't really place why.
Starting point is 00:43:22 You know what? Everything is anti-Semitic when we see it. Everything is a trope. That's right. You know, when I was a kid, I used to watch Saved by the Bell. And I was like, I don't know, but this screech guy. All those idioms. Bird in the hand is worth two in the Hanukkah bush.
Starting point is 00:43:36 That's right. That's right. Okay. Final message. This is a text message. I will read to you. I am Catholic. Bad start.
Starting point is 00:43:48 No. Instantly anti-Semitic. Is Ted Cruz Catholic? That's a good point. That's a very good point. He is a friend. So, no. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:55 All right, some, not all Catholics. He seems so Protestantist, evangelical. Or maybe Marco Rubio? Yeah, probably Rubio. I could see that. There's some Catholics. He loves Israel so much, so he can't be anti-Semitic. That's true.
Starting point is 00:44:09 That's 100% true, and that's a great point. I am Catholic, but my husband's godfather has gone to YouTube University for several years now. I assume it means he watches a lot of YouTube videos. and he thinks that the only reason my husband contradicts the truth in capital letters he is revealing to him is because I am a secret Jew trying to undermine him. What? Am I experiencing anti-Semitism? This has been going on for a decade.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Interesting. Well, easy to answer this. Are you a secret Jew trying to undermine him? If so, cut it out. Take some responsibility. Yeah, exactly. Admit what you did. What is a secret?
Starting point is 00:44:55 Undermine him in broad daylight. Yeah. I mean... Yeah, just like own up to it. Yeah. Obviously, this guy is, you know, he needs, he needs to be antagonized against. That's right. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Like, if he's, if he's, like, going to YouTube University and he's just, like, consuming conspiracy theories, like, kick it up a notch. Yeah. Like, make him, make him scared. it make him scared that's right it's fun go for it go for why not life is short i'd be interested to know what kind of youtube videos he's watching because you know the way in which you've written this makes me think you are a secret jew yeah also i'm not hearing any i feel like stan valchek i'm not hearing anything about israel but you know what i do think what he's saying if he's saying you know my godfather's gone to youtube university and thinks that the only reason my husband
Starting point is 00:45:51 contradicts the quote truth he is revealing to him is because I am a secret Jew I imagine the truth that he is seeing on there is the truth shit I don't really know it really could go either way now seriously we need we need more data
Starting point is 00:46:07 we need more data I think we're gonna have to table this one because honestly I am not sure all I know is all I know is Jews are known for for talking you know circumlocution talking around things you know this is it sounds like a secret Jew to me that's right as Adam said it is what a secret Jew would say exactly and so far I just want to say you know if you talk about secrets you've got a secret political viewpoints going on on each end here and I'd love to know what they are so
Starting point is 00:46:37 and Amisrael the Jewish nation needs you to not keep your genocidal Zionism under wraps we need you to come out with it I know yeah be bold be bold again make it count exactly if you're going to be a fifth column, let people know where you stand. That's what I say. Because what else do columns do? You know what I'm saying? Well, text us and let us know we'll give you a determination with more details. Moving on, I think we do need to take a quick little break or should we go into Melanie Phillips first? Yeah, sure. Why don't we do Melanie first? Let's do a little bit Melanie. Nora, are you in any way
Starting point is 00:47:21 familiar with a British conservative commentator named Melanie Phillips? No, but I can't wait. Okay, we are going across the sea to sunny old England, yeah, and we're going to talk about... That accent is really not going to work today because this woman sounds like...
Starting point is 00:47:38 Is she so posh? She's very posh. She looks like Annie Lennox. True. But, but, you know, the polar opposite politics, And she sounds like Mary Poppins if Mary Poppins was talking about a spoonful of white phosphorus. Excellent. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:47:55 So, yes, so she obviously maybe doesn't sound exactly like what I did, but that's what she sounds like in my head. I have a, you know, this thing, it's like some sort of brain macro that changes all British accents. You unite the kingdom in your mouth. Yes, exactly. There's one action to root them all, isn't it? One crowd, one flag, one accent. One direction. Yeah, one direction, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Without all the Arabs in him, yeah. England is for the English. English for the English. Me got soft teeth. So Melanie Phillips is a British conservative commentator, and she's a professional, has Barris. She used to have a show on the voice of Israel I guess it was a broadcast network that was
Starting point is 00:48:48 either a website or a radio station who the fuck knows and she's sort of in the vein of like the like a Tommy Robinson type of conservative you know the the EDL guy yeah yeah he is you know he and Melanie both do the thing where they constantly talk about Islamization
Starting point is 00:49:10 and whatnot and they talk about the your Arabia conspiracy theory And, yeah, so this whole Islamophobic, you know, through line in their politics, while simultaneously, of course, holding up Israel as some sort of, like, you know, outposts of Western civilization, you know, that whole thing. So Israel is defending the West. That's right. Yes. Our first line of defense is Israel. And, I mean, the only difference, of course, is Melanie, at least, is Jewish, whereas Tommy Robinson.
Starting point is 00:49:45 is just pure shill you know so um so she was at a conference uh that is called rage against oh i did see this oh that's her oh my god she's like she's like full on full nazi yes yeah yeah which is it's amazing that this conference is called rage against the hate love it because she just gives us She's so hateful, shilling in the name of. Hell yeah. Good Lord. 10 out of 10. Those who die are justified because they're Arabs.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I'm the chosen white. Wow. Thank you. That's really good. Hey, you know, I barely had to change into lyrics. So I'm going to play a few clips from this conference. Here we go. Why is all this happening?
Starting point is 00:50:44 Well, I think that the palis. Palestine cause is absolutely central. The Palestine cause, as we all know, let's put that. Yeah, that's going on the soundboard. This is correct. It is absolutely central. Thank you so much, Melanie. You are a comrade and a hero. Here is based on nothing other than the destruction of the Jewish state, but more than that, it is also based on stealing the Jews' own history in the land from them. But the Palestine cause, oh my God. Imagine that. That would be terrible. That would be a crime. This is some sort of war crime here. You're trying to steal all past.
Starting point is 00:51:26 And we're going to let you got a lie with it. Look how indigenous to the Middle East this woman is. Sorry, that's terrible. Oh, God. I had to bring it back. I had to bring it back. I had to bring it back. You have to go back to if you're just start,
Starting point is 00:51:42 you have to go back to the beginning of the episode to get. Yeah. You have to actually not have skipped the, what's the spin? You fucking asshole. This fucking asshole in the comments who every time says, here's the timestamp to skip what's the spin. Mean. But thank you for watching.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Teeth I am on segment. Yes. Has become the cause of causes in the West, which of course is in the business of destroying its own core values, which come from Judaism. No coincidence. What? In my view, the Palestine cause is a form of holy war,
Starting point is 00:52:13 Islamic holy war and there is a trojan course The Palestine cause It's a kind of holy war Okay Great You're down You're super cool
Starting point is 00:52:23 I wouldn't even put it that way She's representing By satanic forces Yeah That's a different type of holiness Adopting the language And the moral inversion Of the Palestine cause
Starting point is 00:52:37 The West has brought into the agenda For its own destruction At the hands of Islam This is a death wig. She's fucking like Saruman, the white, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now rise, my fighting Urukhae. Yeah, and also I just...
Starting point is 00:52:54 I'm Israel Urukai. Yeah. Israel Uru Chai. Yeah, and I love the, you know, she's one of these like Western civilization-type racist nationalists where it's just this constant bringing up the idea. of this civilizational battle when it's literally people who are being genocided who have the keys to the fucking houses they were driven out of in 1948 and just being like clearly this is some
Starting point is 00:53:27 sort of Islam thing wanting your house back yeah i have to say this is like the first time i'm looking a hasbarist in the face who kind of looks like my mom yeah yeah isn't that fuck just that just that sort of nice, youthful-looking, older Jewish lady. Not that my mom's a lady, but you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. Not that she's not a lady either. I'm going to just cut this at him.
Starting point is 00:53:51 But you know what I'm saying? Like this, she looks just like a normal middle class, you know, middle class. Yeah, exactly. White, British, Jewish. She looks like my dentist. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, yeah, I mean, this is how I felt watching Sarah Hurwitz when I was like
Starting point is 00:54:06 looking at her. It's just like tonally, visually, aesthetically, I'm looking at someone who should be reasonable or at the very least intelligent enough to be able to see a video of herself saying these things and go like, oh, I wouldn't like that person. Exactly. Wow, that sounds genocidal. Oh, yeah. Am I a genocider?
Starting point is 00:54:29 Is that me? Is that me? Could never be me. No. Um, but she, she goes on to talk about. by the West. And if you have a death wish, you cannot fight a death cult, which is what the West is facing in the forces of Islam.
Starting point is 00:54:46 It cannot fight it because it no longer knows what it is. The West no longer has the will to defend itself because it no longer knows what that... I'm sorry, but right now it just cuts to you finally seeing the logo of the conference. And it just says... In like army letters? Yeah, an army letter says rage against the hate. And it's just like, God, I mean, Shirah Hadin is one of the most, like, viciously racist lawfare centers in the, in the UK.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Like, they are famous for, I forget what her name is, because I block these people out. Natasha. No, it's a different one. Sure. Anyway, there was, like, one of their top lawyers famously said, like, there is no such thing as a Palestinian. and they are, I mean, they are one of them, yeah, they're just, they're just depraved. Check out their objectives. Brett Goldstein, is that her name?
Starting point is 00:55:42 Oh, maybe, okay. This is how they define their objectives, training the next generation of activist attorneys and legal advocates to fight for the rights of the worldwide Jewish community and Israel, working with intelligence and law enforcement agencies to target the terror groups, their leadership, and patrons, combating the global effort by Israel's and, to delegitimize boycott and wage lawfare against the Jewish state and leading the private sector's war on terrorism. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Super normal stuff. Super normal stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Gotta love that private sector war on terrorism army. Just right against the hate. Just absolute monsters. Yes. Means and insofar as it ever knew what it means, it has tried to destroy it by telling itself that the West is to be hated. This has created a vacuum into which has marred. the Islamists to conquer the West because the West is paralyzed yes she goes on because I mean there's there is a few moments that are insane here that was kind of
Starting point is 00:56:44 ableist at the end there I got to say yeah I mean that's thing it's like as long as well as being Islamophobic Nazis hate famously do not like differently able people that's very true that's very true so it kind of fits I could yeah so here's just a brief little nazi germany for the germans yeah you know i'm talking about it's like you got to love your blood but also your soil yeah why is this so hard to understand you know all i'm saying is we need a thousand year reign diaspora jews need also to realize you are not just americans with judaism added on in britain they're not just british jews with judaism added on they are part
Starting point is 00:57:32 part of the British people of the, sorry, you are part of the Jewish. Oops. Oops. Blimey, it's a right couple there. Me had a gaff. Are you having a gaffe? Paging Freud. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:47 People and the Jewish nation, and that should come first. First and foremost, you are Jews. Everything else is secondary. Yeah. So you agree with the KKK? That's exactly what. So you agree with Nick Quintas? Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Yes. That we cannot be trusted. trusted to be true citizens. It's a dual loyalty thing, yeah. Yeah. It's absolutely insane. And it's like it's coming from, you know, this line of thinking, it's so funny in Britain, like the intense conservative push that we've seen for decades now at this
Starting point is 00:58:23 point of, you know, we must resist Arabization and Islamatization of the UK or of the UK or of Europe in general. It's literally a just, it's just a redoing of the white Great Replacement Theory. It's just a reimagining of the Zog, Zionist-occupied government conspiracy. Like, we're talking about, like, white American neo-Nazi conspiracy theories that have been around for a long time. Yeah. But with a different. master. That's the thing
Starting point is 00:59:04 is like instead of it being, you know, like they both talk about the globalists, but one, in America, when they talk about the people, you know, allowing for the immigration of, you know, migrants from Latin America and from
Starting point is 00:59:19 places that are deemed not worthy to be Americans, they say it's the globalist class that are the Jews. This is essentially what they're saying. They're saying the Jews. There, instead of the Jews, it's the French, which I fucking love. They're like, it's the EU specifically led by the French.
Starting point is 00:59:40 They believe that the French is in some sort of like Islamo partnership. Yeah, the French famously very welcoming of Muslims and Arabs and North Africans. I mean, more so, I guess. Very much. The French historically complicit in what was it, the second or third plague? That's right That's right You know what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:00:04 Yeah Jews of a different stripe Look it up Or see the end of Magnolia If you want to know what I'm talking about Yes Yes Are you talking about the frogs
Starting point is 01:00:16 That's what I'm talking about the frogs falling from the sky Okay But yeah I mean I really love it And I was doing some research Into this very specific Like white European conspiracy theory About you know
Starting point is 01:00:30 Eurabia And it was like, it was a conspiracy theory created by a woman named Bat Yeor, at least that was her pen name. But I think her real name is Giselle Oraby. She's a Jewish, Egyptian, Swiss Zionist who also popularize the whole like Dimi Hezbara, you know, like the idea of being a second-class citizen. Being a second-class citizen, this kind of like, you know, revisionist history of Jews in the Mina as, being like, no, no, no, no, no. They weren't just living together in the same society. They were, they were being treated the way Nazis treated the Jews.
Starting point is 01:01:10 But even in the, in the, in the, in the, in the most, even in the most inflammatory version of the dimmy thing, my understanding, didn't it mean a kind of somewhat protected second class citizenship? I mean, you weren't a part of every aspect of society, but you were taught, like, there's been plenty of places in the world where like, there's a, there are minority groups who have a certain status that isn't the same as being pogromed all the time. Right.
Starting point is 01:01:38 But it's a certain, it's a certain place in a hierarchy that's governed by a larger religion or whatever. But it's like they try to make it sound as if, well, welcome to your new Gulag Jews. Right. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 01:01:54 and here's the thing. I don't know enough about it to really weigh in substantive. And I mean, what's funny about it, the whole thing to me is, is that, like, the person who created this conspiracy theory that is just Zog theory, but Jews are good, is the person who essentially was able to make, like, the whole deemy, revisionist history of Jews and the Mina, it's like, that's now the line when it comes to that.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Like, it is a rewriting of the relationship to the point where people naturally believe that, oh, Arabs and Jews have always hated each other. Right. Right. Yeah, it's the thousand-year conflict of this clash of civilizations, all of this. And it's just straight up, it's just... It's straight bullshit. It's straight bullshit created by a Nazi. So it's like we have this Melanie Phillips who believes that she is doing Nazism on behalf of Israel. And, you know, she is.
Starting point is 01:02:52 And in this very, like, God, paternalistic way, like... Oh, yeah. To the American Jews, you know, like, blah. You're Jewish first, an American second. Remember, you can never be one of them, yeah. People will always be able to tell more your Jewish features, isn't you? I love. Matt, I'll do love and respect to your uniform British accent.
Starting point is 01:03:19 But I would love to get Nora, I mean, if you could be our go-to, posh English woman, because it's very good. I could try my best. I'm voicingly doing. All the Jews, the Jews are the most beautiful and handsome and nice and civilized, not like those filthy other people, everyone else. Oh, even the English. The English are incomparable, dreadful, dreadful, dreadful. Dreadful.
Starting point is 01:03:49 My people came from Latvia and Poland and Poland. And that's why we have an exceptional entitlement to the land of North Africa and West Asia. Because look at us. We burn so easily under the West Asian sun. And we have the most population of melanoma patients in West Asia because we are so indigenous to that land. I'm feeling I'm watching an episode. I feel like I'm watching a two-person Doughton Abbey with the upstairs and the downstairs. The count, the dowager countess and the scullery made.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Yeah, no, I'm Mrs. Patmore. I'm the cook, yeah? We got red hair and freckles in me face. Anyway, so she's a, she's a psychopath. I have one more video clip to play from her. we got to go to break but this is um this is her i mean without further i'm just going to play it just listen to this now there is a spirit abroad in israel which people have not seen before a spirit among younger people they will not be diverted from defeating the enemy it is no longer enough
Starting point is 01:05:13 simply to what was called mowing the lawn to keep the enemy down on the basis that they're always going to be there and we're always going to fight them no enough we will now fight to defeat the enemy because we know that only defeating the enemy is what we should be doing and there's been a realization there's been a realization that this idea of mowing the lawn this idea of not going too far this idea of doing what the world expects us to do that is gallut mentality that is diaspora mentality that is trying to please and appease the world but the world we now understand from what we're being living through and are still living through the world world cannot be appeased. It has to be fought. It has been described, and I think most
Starting point is 01:06:01 wonderfully, as a move from Talmud to Tanakh, by which I mean this. The Talmud, that collection of rabbinical ordinances, which justifiably can be said to have kept the Jewish people alive since their exile from the land of Israel, is very much a diaspora mentality. It is a mentality which looks inward, which says we are up against a world which hates us, which debates things, which has conversations, which asks questions. That is the, like, the she is like true fascist. Yes, yes. Like, it wasn't enough to have these war, you know, these assaults on Gaza every few years,
Starting point is 01:06:42 which, you know, the mowing the lawn, that's where that comes from. And to enact a 17-year, now 20-year siege on Gaza, to slowly starve people. No, we need to go full on, slaughter everybody, and that includes the West Bank and people inside 48, historic Palestine, also known as Israel. And in the same breath,
Starting point is 01:07:11 she's talking about how, and this is like part of the Zionist ideology, right? Anyone who doesn't believe that Palestinians should be genocided for the sake of this fantasy of a so-called Jewish state, you're weak, you're the, you're the, you know, Hitler should have killed you. Yep. And you're a house Jew.
Starting point is 01:07:36 You're a house Jew, right? That is diaspora mentality. First of all, what the hell does diaspora mean? Jews are Jews wherever we are, right? That's the whole thing. The whole, like, this Zionist idea of, like, anyone who's not in this fake, artificial, genocidal, rape, state, colony is somehow diaspora, like, wayward or something. Like, we're still lost in the desert.
Starting point is 01:08:01 These galute diaspora, house Jews. These house Jews. These schmucking and jiving, step and quetch it. Oh, my God. Step and quetch it. Wow. My God. I know.
Starting point is 01:08:20 She wants to move from Talmud to Tanakh, right? So Tanakh would be just the fucking law. Just fucking do it. Just the Torah. No interpretation, no questioning. Yeah. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 01:08:35 She clarifies. Jewish people of antiquity fighting, fighting real battles, killing real people in defense of their nation and their people and their faith. And that is what has to be done. And I see that what we are seeing now in this war that has been fought is the resurrection of the Tanakh Jew, the return of the heroic Davidic warrior. And I want my scalps. And I'm going to have my scalps. Like how, I mean, you know, if we're talking about what anti-Semitism looks like, that's what anti-Semitism looks like. I know.
Starting point is 01:09:13 She, I believe in my heart of hearts that whatever anti-Semitism looks like, that whatever anti-Semitism looks like, that's what anti-Semitism looks like, that's what anti-Semitism. is right now as people think they imagine it is not real because it is not it's it's not backed uh institutionally there is no there are no laws on the books there's no jobs that jews can't get there's no houses that jews can't buy because they're jews it's not a thing it's just a way it's a weapon to be used against people wanting equal rights yeah we have Someone here who agrees with you. Exactly. There's no anti-Semitism in the United States.
Starting point is 01:09:51 That's right. Exactly, exactly. Norm, for all of his many faults, you know, he is someone who has pointed this out continuously because it's a fact. Yeah. And then you have these total genocidal freaks like this English, you know, Downton Abbey Dowager, what I don't even know, who's, who's, you know, who's saying really bigoted shit about Jews who don't support a genocide in the name of Judaism.
Starting point is 01:10:25 So she needs to be, you know, I think she needs to be sent to a gulag. Oh, yeah. Reeducation camp. That's right. And we'll see how that works out. And then we can take it from there. You know, if she doesn't want to live amongst all the other people of this world, she can go break rock. somewhere in some labor camp or throw herself off a cliff or at least have the courage of
Starting point is 01:10:50 convictions go live in a fucking settlement yeah and you know what we have an organization that can help you with that which we're going to get to right after the break that's right it is break time so everyone please stick around we will be right back moral podcast here, of course, with Nora Barrow's Friedman. How you doing, Nora? I'm fine. Good, good. Got a little toasty there. Oh, no. It's the world's most noral podcast. Yeah, I like it. So Adam has let me know that he has better Matt leave donkey AI, and he wanted me to know this, that he made this in the time that it took for me to just talk.
Starting point is 01:11:43 about the previous segment so here is this video here yeah Adam has made this this is incredible that the earphones and the watch yeah I like one earphone in that goes straight to my heart so Adam you couldn't you couldn't make it fucking me come on man also that looks like a pony was that a pony was that a pony Pony, donkey? Matt's not a pony fucker. Either way. Someone,
Starting point is 01:12:17 someone, Mr. Hands me. Am I right out there? The people who understand that bit are laughing. So, moving on, we need to talk. And the painted ponies go up and down when Matt's on the carousel. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:12:32 Yeah, sexually. Daniel, you live in New York. I don't know how I do. I don't know how you do. I don't know how I make it. As a DEMI, as a second-class citizen in the Mamdanian Empire, obviously... I take the DEMI train every day. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:12:55 So you're there, and of course, anti-Semitism, out of control in New York. I mean, you can't turn a corner without someone doing an anti-Semitism at you. Can you tell me a little bit about this hullabaloo that happened at a... some sort of Park East Synagogue? Yeah, the Park East Synagogue on the Upper East Side, venerable Institution, was the site of a horrific gathering of jihadist, anti-Semitic protesters,
Starting point is 01:13:32 or at least that's what I heard. Was Melanie Phillips there? Yeah, they were inside the temple. I like that. It was like, it was a gathering of like just told religious, fascist fanatics fanatics inside the temple who want who want Jews out yeah yeah well actually yeah literally right so here's here here was one of the reactions to the so of course again whenever you hear a bunch of you know an anti-semitic mob gathered outside a synagogue yes
Starting point is 01:13:59 at a Jewish place of worship did you see they're targeting Jews you know there was something going on in there that wasn't a fucking minion yeah yeah it wasn't a bris it wasn't a chuppa ceremony it wasn't Yom Kippur it was some kind of organization with some kind of move to Israel or support the Israeli army
Starting point is 01:14:20 in other words something that's completely a political event right and they want to act like it's not political anyway so there was a protest
Starting point is 01:14:36 the group is called nefish benepish which actually this is true translated literally means soul to soul hell yeah back to life back to the synagogue
Starting point is 01:14:52 beautiful oh wow so people converged of course as they always do because nefesh benefesh is a group that helps people make
Starting point is 01:15:08 Aliyah, okay? Yep. Alia being the Zionist word for moving to Zionist occupied Palestine or, if you even want to call it Israel, call it Israel. However, here's a map from Nefesh Benephish's own site of some of the places where they're helping Jews all over the world move to. Now, what do you notice? Oh.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Hmm. Interesting. You know, I notice a. sort of a dotted line across the screen. Yeah, look at that dotted. What does that mean? Yeah, what is a dotted line? Those are just ants. Yeah, don't worry about it. Why is there an ant hill that's going through? It seems like it covers some of
Starting point is 01:15:50 Jerusalem, but not all of it. Yeah. Yeah, so they're all for those who can't read sarcasm, these are all locations in the West Bank. That's right. And Jordan Steinberg here posted it and said the Neffish Benefish website advertises illegal sediments as quaint little communities for American Jews to move to while settler terrorism
Starting point is 01:16:10 against Palestinians in the West Bank is increasing every day. And a reminder that the settlements are ipso facto, every single one of them, illegal under international law. And while we're there, we can also say that every Israeli town is a settlement, that the cities and the towns inside historic occupied Palestine, so inside what's considered to be Israel, are also settlements and are also part of the settler colonial landscape
Starting point is 01:16:43 where Palestinians cannot go back to simply because they are not Jews. They are. And on that basis alone, Americans whose tax dollars and whose politicians are completely in service of protecting that regime have every right to oppose it. But it's the over-the-green line thing that takes it an extra step. Because at the very least, you could say, that's true, but New York is a settlement too. Vancouver is a settlement. San Francisco's a
Starting point is 01:17:12 settlement. We're all living on stolen land. It's a question of what has international recognition as to, as opposed to, because especially when Mandani is concerned, and he did weigh in and we'll look at his statement, if you're going to be speaking about the law, well then international law governs. And currently under international law, there is some legitimacy to the Israeli state. yeah let's but let's before we get there let's look at nefish benephish's own description of themselves and sort of some of their programs aliyah make it home and you see a family of hopeful white jews with signs that say amisrael hi alia 2024 not just a dream right yeah if you will it it's not just a dream it's a nice little militarized settlement in somewhere else it's a war crime
Starting point is 01:18:03 If you will it, it's a war crime. It's not just a dream. Undeterred. Alia undeterred. We are so inspired by people's unwavering dedication to making their alia dreams a reality, no matter the circumstance. No matter the circumstance. No matter who's living there now.
Starting point is 01:18:21 No matter what side of the green line it's on. Your circumstance, the people's land circumstance, legal circumstance, pretty much by enemies. Yeah. Yeah. Join the thousands of North Americans moving forward with their Aaliyah plans. Let us help you make it home. So what they're doing is they're hooking people up with services, healthcare, communities, education, finances, and all that. Okay. Well, so again, we don't have to like it.
Starting point is 01:18:49 We don't have to like it, but a group helping people move to another country on the surface of it, okay. Yeah. But then there's, then you see this. The international loan soldiers program. Loan soldiers program assists and supports the brave individuals who are required to serve in the IDF after their Aliyah. Our multinational team assists 3,500 lone soldiers annually from over 70 countries. So what they're helping is, but they're helping these new Olim, which is people committing Alia, I'll say. That's good.
Starting point is 01:19:24 That's good. Do is fully integrate into the totality of Israeli society, which of course means participating in the genocidal IOF. and of course means settling the West Bank. There is no more separation. There is no more moving to Israel without being a part of the settlement regime that is terrorizing Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Starting point is 01:19:48 So this is where Nora's point sort of comes home to roost. Whatever you think about the legitimacy of towns within Israel proper, which were of course all based on decimated, demolished massacred's Arab villages, the entire enterprise now, the entire settlement enterprise, is one total thing from the river to the sea.
Starting point is 01:20:10 That's right. And especially in a time when people are up at arms rightfully about a genocide being committed by that country, of course you host a group like this at your synagogue. You're going to get some pushback. You know this. Rightfully so. Rightfully so.
Starting point is 01:20:27 Here's what the ADL had to say about it. Jewish New Yorkers gathered last. night at Parkees Synagogue. They just gathered. They just decided to gather. They were greeted with a dangerous, hateful, and anti-Semitic mom. Do you ever see the movie, uh, conspiracy? It's, it's, uh, it's a, it's a movie about the, uh, Eichmann and, um, all of the
Starting point is 01:20:51 Nazi generals together planning the final solution. Yeah. It's a movie about a gathering. Yeah, it's just a gathering. They were just hanging out. They're just having, uh, normal, you know, just a, a chiller, a kid. kicker, if you will, you know? Get together, kicking around some ideas.
Starting point is 01:21:06 Yeah. Mayor Adams and Governor Hokel spoke out forcefully on the incident. Mayor Mamdani did, Mayor-elect Mandani did not. Here's what Mamdani said. The mayor-elect has discouraged the language used at last night's protest and will continue to do so. Okay, so he's continuing to keep daylight between him and phrases like, globalize the antifada, so on and so forth.
Starting point is 01:21:27 We understand why we can take issue with it. he believes every New Yorker should be free to enter a house of worship without intimidation and that these sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law. Again, a very cany, a very cany approach, right, where he'll, like, grant the premise that, okay, if the issue was people being permitted or not permitted or barred from entering houses of worship, sure, I agree with that. And I also think that houses of worship shouldn't be turned into recruitment villages for illegal settlements.
Starting point is 01:22:05 For war crimes. Yes. They are not, they're, uh, they're not being fucking protesting for fucking going to Shabbat services. Yeah. You know, like this, this idea that people are being, um, protested in front of synagogues because people were simply exercising their religious freedoms. It's like, no, your religious freedom here is not the issue. It's the idea that you're hosting a fucking, you know, let's move and do a war crime fucking, you know, organization.
Starting point is 01:22:37 That's exactly right. So there was just a glut of reaction to this. I mean, I went through it all. I mean, Adam did yeoman's work in, he did yo man's work. In gathering all this shit, I culled it down to like about 10% of what was in the original folder. I'll just go through a few of them. we have a couple of videos to play as well. Here's one of my favorites, because it's Elizabeth Pipko retweeting Rabbi Poopko.
Starting point is 01:23:03 Oh, shit. We got a Pip and a Poopko collab. Pipoop, poop, poop. This is my synagogue. My family has proudly belonged to Parkees Synagogue since their arrival in America in the 1970s, ironically, fleeing from anti-Semitism and scenes just like this. No, there were no scenes just like this anywhere else. No.
Starting point is 01:23:23 I'm sorry. What are we? Where was Pipco? family fleeing from. In the 1970s, I don't know. I mean, listen, wherever you were in Eastern Europe, perhaps there was anti-Semitic scenes that you were fleeing from. They weren't, like, the idea that it's like just like this, you know, people outside of synagogues telling us not to do a war crime. Exactly. Here's one of my favorite sort of tropes that's popping up. It's a very bar-coded thing. Are you scared of what's coming yet? After the abhorrent mob,
Starting point is 01:23:57 Park East Synagogue chanting death to the IDF, globalized the antifada, and resistance is glorious. Zoran Mamdani disgustingly condemned the event at the synagogue. He stated that synagogues, quote, should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law. You mean they should? Jeffrey Lax is a professor of law at CUNY, by the way. That's crazy. CUNY like Sheepshead Bay, weigh the fuck out in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Jews, get the hell out of NYC. there will be pogroms. Uden Rauss. All right. And I love this fucking Jews get out thing so much that I made this. Get out right now! My God. That said get out.
Starting point is 01:24:45 In Hebrew letters and that was Faith No More. I love Jews. Get out. In fact, I have this wonderful organization that will help you with. that if only they would let us convene get out and do crimes yeah it's truly unbelievable so there's a lot more uh we could show this one's kind of funny just because of because who it is and how they start it this is batar explain it to me like i'm three years old oh i'd love to bettah jihadis attack park east synagogue jews complain about mypd and how unsafe nyc is the mayor is eric
Starting point is 01:25:24 Adams. Why are Jewish groups honoring him like combat anti-Semitism if Jews aren't safe? The thing I love about Batar is they'll take their best friends and call them fake friends and be like, the only ones who could protect Jews are us who have 100 followers. Are we is, are we secretly running that account? Like sometimes I'll read their things. I'm going to be like, I would write this ironically as a joke. It serves our purpose. We are running their helpline, Betar help. We are. That's true. That's true. That's true. I just, I love the way Baitar continually posts things that I'm like, you know, other than the, you know, super racisting at the end, facts.
Starting point is 01:26:09 Exactly. The conclusions they draw are genocidal. Yeah. But everything up until that is like, you're right. Eric Adams, the idea that you're blaming when Mundani is hilarious because Eric Adams is the mayor. That's exactly right. So, Matt, will you please play for us the video? You want to start with Hen Mazig or Dr. Logan Lefki?
Starting point is 01:26:34 Oh, I mean, both are wonderful. You choose. Let's start with Hen. Let's warm up. And then we'll go to Logan Levkov, which is incredible. All right. Here's Hen Mazze. NYC Mayor Zohar Mamdani's group is suddenly so obsessed with lying about one Jewish organization for 48 hours straight.
Starting point is 01:26:52 Nefesh Benefesh helps Jews move to Israel, full stop. They don't buy land, they don't sell land, they don't touch real estate. I'm sorry, I love the chat GPT. If you're listening, he has inserted chat GPT into his video in which he asks what does Nefish-Bnefish do. And this is the answer that the chat GBT robot is going to give him is the one he's going to use. That's, I love. That's on brand for him. It's very on brand.
Starting point is 01:27:25 Yeah. Well, the thing is, though, I think technically he's right. This is not one of the real estate organizations. The reason he needs to say that, though, is that many of these synagogue events have been. Like in Clifton, New Jersey. Yeah. Right? Where a brave Jewish man, I forget his name, uh, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:45 Stood up and said, don't fucking do this here in my community, you know. Um, so there are. some organizations that are more like we are selling you a condo here this is more like uh you know logistical support yeah this is a middleman that does the war crime i'm sorry we just love filing papers yes i mean the idea that it's like well you know technically i have nothing to do with this giant cocaine cartel i'm just uh i'm just someone who knows a guy just driving vehicle who knows another guy everything is clean yes everything is clean it's like there's a reason there's ricoh laws my man these guys are the greek in the world just a simple money laundering
Starting point is 01:28:34 exactly god people fill out forms register their kids to school get health care and rebuild their lives where are the schools tell me where the schools are where the schools Ukrainian Jews escaped the war They helped Ethiopian Jews Escape a war in their land Nephish Benafish just helps Yeah Yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:28:56 Jews that need to escape their countries And move to Israel So why the fixation Jews that need to escape their countries That's why they're in the upper east side Yes At a synagogue They've come to where the real need is
Starting point is 01:29:08 And what's hilarious about all of this Of course Is that It's the perfect Anti-Semitism generating cycle that they need. Like I've often said, Israel runs on anti-Semitism. It's its fuel.
Starting point is 01:29:23 It's also it's effluent. It's what it puts out. It gets high on its own supply. So these organizations host these events in broad daylight. They get protested, which shows you how dangerous New York is, which all the more necessitates organizations like this, if only people could access them but for these meddling protesters. Right. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:29:46 I mean, and it's, you know, I, it seems pretty clearly to be, you know, it serves its own purpose every time. I mean, it's just like, we're going to, you know, publicly hold these events that are 100%, I mean, like, I'm not going to say all of them were meant to generate that sort of outrage. But the outrage for them is only proof positive that they're right, that they do need to move. Because look, they're protesting you coming here. When you're just trying to, you're just trying to move back to the land that God promised you, you know? You're simply doing what man's law says is war crime, but God's law says is... Right. I mean, God is the original real estate agent here.
Starting point is 01:30:34 100%. Exactly. You've got the contract set in stone. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Johnny's fans needed a spin to divert attention from the fact that protesters stood outside of synagogue and yelled effing Jewish pricks at Jews going to an event hosted.
Starting point is 01:30:50 Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I haven't heard that chant before. What is that? What is he said? Effing Jewish pricks. Effing Jewish pricks. That doesn't really. That's going to be a new one for me. I'm going to start chanting that everywhere. Exactly. Thank you, Henn. I love, yeah, I do love the idea that you can just kind of just say things that aren't changed. You can say whatever you want.
Starting point is 01:31:15 You can just say whatever you want. It's fine. Like, if effing Jewish pricks was a chant that went around, that would be the first time I would ever be like, hey, I'm going to tone police right here. I think I would finally get on my lib cap and be like, guys, let's not do the effing Jewish. No one is doing that. And of course, you know, like people like Han Mazig and his like thuggish. settler friends are the ones who are literally going around Jerusalem saying death to the Arabs.
Starting point is 01:31:51 Yes. And may your village burn. Yes. What's fun about Han Mazig is he's one of these liberal Zionist guys who pretends to be anti-settlement. Exactly. Here he is, defending to the death. No.
Starting point is 01:32:04 The necessity of an organization sending people to those same settlements that he'll then cluck his tongue at and say this is a real problem that Israeli society needs to deal with everyone else butt out. Right. Yeah. I'm just a small being. It's the small bean settlement organizations.
Starting point is 01:32:21 Exactly. We just want to live in a tiny gated community covered with M16 file. Yeah. Steal all the water for us. It was promised to us. I'm from Poland. I just want to shoot at the water
Starting point is 01:32:38 tanks on top of people's houses. Yeah, that's fun for me. Because it's fun to do. I don't get why I can't have fun. And if you tell me I can't, she's going to love my feeling. I'mma, I can't sleep. Well, have you tried counting sheep?
Starting point is 01:32:56 That's a great idea. Let's go down to the Palestinian well that Abba, where Abba slaughtered all of the lambs. We can count the dead sheep carcasses. I'm not sure if there's anything more worth watching in this video. The other one is the real fucking banger. All right.
Starting point is 01:33:10 This is from... This is like, I have... had to pick from about like ladies fellas fellas take a break fellas take a break ladies pull up a seat oh no oh shit Obama's talking how did he get in here pull up your pants let me be clear let me be clear I had to I had to to sort through and I don't think Adam was cherry picking like there were a lot of videos of like these women influencers Eve Barlow Lizzie Svetsky. Oh, all the best.
Starting point is 01:33:45 Fucking Brooke Goldstein, whatever. Just some of the best of the best. And they just excel at this like, hey, you guys, can you believe this? Sort of stitch incoming kind of like, whatever. Talking to 12 people who agree with you. That's right. So, but this is the one that really fucking got me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:02 This is, I don't know if we've played Dr. Levkov on this pot yet. The blondeest Jewish Hasbaraest we've ever played? Yes. Here's Dr. Logan. Lipkov. I have been very outspoken about Mom Dony and today is going to be no different. All right, hold on. Can she just get a little...
Starting point is 01:34:20 Well, what does she got on her shoulders? Yeah. Idea of Shepardry. Exactly. Yeah. And she's doing like the the like the Picmee Girl thing. Yeah. Oh my God. My hair. I'm doing this thing. She's going for like babes of IDF aesthetic while being, let's be honest, 47. I'm 47.
Starting point is 01:34:44 That's okay to be 47. What I'm saying is that the... Yeah. It's not going to happen. Yeah. You're not gun-wifu. Pick me is what her head lice said. 24 hours to compose my thoughts about the horrific event that happened outside of Parkey
Starting point is 01:35:04 Synagogue the other night. So, raise yourself. Are you fucking surprised, really surprised that our newly elected mayor, instead of condemning the bloodthirsty mob of Jew-hating jihadists outside a synagogue, would instead condemn the sacred space for hosting an event that violated international law. First of all, hosting Nefesh benephash, this amazing organization that helps families navigate the Alia process, is not a violation of international law. And if our newly elected mayor had shown up in history class instead of
Starting point is 01:35:41 well creating baby jihadist group SJP at his college maybe he would have learned about UN resolutions 181 and 273 but oh I'm sorry the ones that Israel violates every day for decades can we get a history lesson
Starting point is 01:35:57 UN resolutions wow so Nora will you explain to us how introducing UN resolutions 181 and 273 into this conversation justifies the presence of nefesh be nefish and their mission?
Starting point is 01:36:12 Like, what the fuck does she think this has to do with anything? I don't understand. 181 was the one that created, or that was the partition resolution. That was the partition. And 273 invited Israel into the community of nations in 1949. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:26 Yeah, but, you know, conveniently, she's also, I mean, if you want to go by UN resolutions here, how about UN Resolution 194, which guarantees Palestinians the right to return to their homes that this fucking bitch thinks that she's entitled to. Yes. Or Resolution 242, the one that declares that the West Bank and Gaza are occupied and should be not occupied anymore. How about the ICJ resolution in 2006 that declared that Israel's wall in the occupied West Bank is illegal and must be dismantled?
Starting point is 01:37:00 That's almost a 20, that's 20 years old. Was it to that? No, it's 2004. What the hell? The World Court. Yeah, it's 21 years old, that one. It's all just cherry-picking. The U.S. judge voted that it was illegal.
Starting point is 01:37:14 That's right. That's right. Or what about the UN resolution that was eventually struck? I can't remember what it was, but it just had its anniversary a few days ago. It was the one that in 1979, I think, the UN declared Zionism as an ideology of racism. And that one, you know, was quickly struck from. the record. But yeah, I mean, this whole cherry-picking of international, I mean, the thing is right now, international law is meaningless, obviously. Correct. Yeah. Because the genocide has been ongoing. Not one of the, you know, the declarations of either the World Court or the ICC have
Starting point is 01:38:04 been followed through with. The genocide or the people who are in charge of the genocide, the people who are in charge of the genocide, keep getting rewarded for it. So, you know, this whole thing, yes, it is still a war crime. Yes, the, you know, the resolutions that were passed in the UN, like 242 and all of these ones, forbid the Israelis, the occupying force from transferring its own civilians into occupied territory, which is what these settlement colonies are. And neither of the resolutions she just cited bear upon that. whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:38:39 No. We're talking about, again. It's stupid. It's so stupid. I agree with you about the hollowness and the, in many ways, the obsolescence of international law at this point. And for someone like Mamdani, it's a useful legal rhetorical tool to be able to say, if we're going to have a standard, even if it's an outdated standard, on this territory, you're not going to be advertising and facilitating the migration of Americans or anyone else. into occupied lands and we can define them as
Starting point is 01:39:11 on the other side of this greenland. That's right. But the whole world has also like agreed. Yes. The whole world has agreed that Israel is a genocidal apartheid entity that must be stopped.
Starting point is 01:39:23 And it's just these like handfuls of, you know, capitulated countries at the UN that have really gone against their own values and national interest. But that's neither here nor anything. I just, yeah, it is so funny to watch when they decide to trot out, you know, international law. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:49 Like, they just, random points where they just go, oh, have you, you ever heard of the ICJ? And it's like, yes, very much so. When's the last time any, I don't know, Netanyahu cabinet ministers have visited the Hague? You know what I mean? Wouldn't that be nice? Our mayor elect, if he'd spent a little more time studying history rather than creating baby jihadist groups, he'd know of something called the Balfour Declaration.
Starting point is 01:40:18 That's right, yeah. Let's see the rest of her video. Yeah. Also, is 181 the OG creation of the partition plan? Is that 181? Because I love the idea of like a plan that it's in and of itself did not really come to fruition because of the fucking, uh, uh, the continued occupation that, that happened.
Starting point is 01:40:42 Yeah, this was, this was the November 29th, 1947 resolution. Right. That it recommended the partition of mandatory Palestine. Right. And if you look at that map. Right. Right. We're never going to honor that in the end.
Starting point is 01:40:53 That's right. And we want it all. Yes. Yeah. And if you look at that map, it's like, that's not the map that you're, you're actually living in right now. Yes. Here we are.
Starting point is 01:41:05 with an ignoramus in Gracie Mansion. We're about to enter Gracie Mansion. I also wonder, though, does he apply that same standard to mosques or just synagogues? Yeah, this is great. All those mosques, all those mosques that are hosting events to help people move to, I don't know what. To join Boko Haram. Jesus Christ. You know how you can't.
Starting point is 01:41:34 Man, every time I pass a mosque is another fucking Boko Haram, fucking orientation meeting. We all get to join. Oh, my God. I wonder. Also, that mob was made up of lots of Columbia students. So as we talk about college parents of Columbia students, I think you should do something. You should check your kid's bedroom. Check for any leftover kofias or...
Starting point is 01:41:59 Leftover. What do you think you ate half of it? What is wrong with this woman? Yeah. Yeah, what did you check? Palli Flats. Order the hummus. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:42:11 And what did they call it? If they said Mediterranean, they're on thin ice. If they said anything other than who moose. Hummus. We only highlighted copies of the Quran and do some fucking parenting. Do people highlight their copies of the Quran? She said. Can you imagine this woman with kids?
Starting point is 01:42:31 I know. I know. I mean, half of this is a. Highlight her in the Quran. Isn't that kind of sacrilegious? I feel like that is, see, this is some people who I don't know whether or not she is a Jewish scientist influencer or evangelical influencer because I'm pretty sure she's Jewish. Well, it's confusing to me then because it's like, wait.
Starting point is 01:42:53 Because she looks like a jikza. Well, first of all, genocides prefer blondes. Yes. But beyond that. Come on that, Matt. Nothing? Oh, that's good. That's good.
Starting point is 01:43:02 But also, like, the highlighting, like, the only time I've ever heard about highlighting passages, this could be a thing. I don't fucking know. People highlight in their Torah's, sure. But isn't that just for when Jesus talks? They're like, well, we highlight and read in the New Testament when Jesus talks. So you can see his words. I assume that that's, I'm just saying. No idea.
Starting point is 01:43:28 I have no idea. This feels secular to me. A little bit. A little bit. It's not too late. And to you as a Jews who elected. That's us. Oh, my God. That's us.
Starting point is 01:43:40 I present. I didn't elect anyone. How you feeling today? Good. Are you happy? Yeah. I could promise you that bloodthirsty mob will never consider you good. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:43:52 We're in the bloodthirsty mob, lady. Yeah, exactly. I'm sorry. They like us. They like us a lot. They do. Yeah. We're kind of the idea of like,
Starting point is 01:44:01 They're never going to accept you. And it's just like, there are, I don't know, shit ton of Jews here, lady. Yep. You're locked in an attic right now. Yeah, where is she even? Like a pantry? You saw a fucking weather. The diary of end crank.
Starting point is 01:44:22 This person's hiding out from a fucking poster of the weather channel. That is great. You're going to need the ones like me. the bad juice me to fight for you do she have an only fans probably I don't want to slut shame but listen I don't
Starting point is 01:44:39 if you are someone it is okay to have an only fan sex work is work but she does look like she films like that's where she films all of her content yeah yeah so you know Dr. Lefcoff
Starting point is 01:44:54 if you got feet picked she's a doctor I'm sure the toenails are blue and white oh 100% I'm sorry, just made me sick a little bit. Yeah, I mean, listen, we're going to see more of these things. And, you know, there was a time in my own, like, kind of, I don't know, liberal Zionist evolution where I was more of an optics guy. Like, I remember when I was younger thinking, you know, one of the things was like, we need to stop using the word Zionist because there's too many definitions. You know, this is me as a...
Starting point is 01:45:32 Oh, right, right. It's okay. You're on your journey. I was on my journey. No, but I remember also being like, I would have seen something like, oh, no, people are protesting outside of synagogues. No, it's a... The optics are bad. I understand, but the optics are bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:49 And I've never been so, like, proud to be so wrong about that. You know, because you look at things like this. And the fact is that we have now elected a mayor who fully understands the Hezbara that's around this type of event and is like going to play the game of being just to be like, first of all, I wouldn't chant death, death to the IDF in front of anywhere, you know, because he's someone who's not going to say death, death, he can say that, I'm fine with that. And then immediately going into also, I hope no one's doing war crimes in their places of worship. that's that's a problem that's a problem it's a problem it's a worship with an oh not an a so please uh maybe don't do that and yeah the fact is is that like that kind of you know bad optics thing is always been sort of a trap you know for people to be like well if we protest this we look like anti-semites and now we are reached a point where that is seen for the bullshit maybe we shouldn't give a shit anymore exactly
Starting point is 01:46:55 Yeah. And, and it's like, it's, you know, this focus on optics, I think is like, because they're not focused on, you know, the optics that we've seen for the last two years. Yes. Have been babies with no brain in their skull anymore because the Israelis dropped bombs that blew it up, right? Yes. Yes. Those are the optics of children dying of starvation, of homes and every single hospital multiple times being blown up. Those are the optics. And people want to, like, crow and get all up in their feelings about synagogues being protested. That's where we need to, and we've talked about this before, as anti-Zionists and as specifically Jews who oppose genocide and don't want these, like, you know, freaks talking for us and at us, then we need to be in the places where this indoctrination is. happening and disrupt it. And those places are synagogues. They are community centers. They are our families.
Starting point is 01:48:04 Yes. That's where Zionism needs to be disrupted. And so this is like, you know, we're trying to do the thing to, you know, some people say preserve Judaism. I don't give a shit about where Judaism goes after this. I think that that genocide is now a part of Jewish history. and we have to own that. And if we don't want that to continue,
Starting point is 01:48:27 then we have to disrupt the root cause of it, which is Zionism. Yes. And if we want to be able to exist in a world where it doesn't feel absolutely and totally gross to be Jewish, and I'd rather live in that world. That's right. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:48:43 We need to speak out about the, you know, not just encroaching, but the prevailing evil in our mainstream communities. I don't want to get on to this topic. because we're soon to wrap up. But when it comes to optics, just have to appreciate Donald Trump for a second for saying to Zoron,
Starting point is 01:49:02 I don't worry about the optics. Just say it. Wasn't that amazing? Just call me a fashion. It's fine. Just call it genocide. I've been called worse. Just go ahead.
Starting point is 01:49:10 It's fine. I have. It was a great moment. Like in what world are we? This is so insane. It was a great moment. It truly was like awesome to watch. And I, you know, it's funny watching.
Starting point is 01:49:23 The amount, and we do need to do a full episode on the entire Hezbarra freakout around Trump's just being like, I like him. Yeah, and then he like, the next day he like wore a suit that was kind of the same color and similar to Zoron. He's never been more like the South Park caricature of him where he's like, oh, come on, guy. Come on, guy. Relax, guy. Hey, Satan. Do we have time for one final good news thing or do we have to wrap? Let's do a good news thing.
Starting point is 01:49:56 It's a good news for us thing. So we started the show with Amisrael AI. And I'd like to end the show with a new segment that I'd like to call Amisrael hi. Hi. Hi. Where we just kind of make eyes at some Israelis and say, hi, we see you, you see us. We don't hate all of you. We're happy if you're listening to us because Orly Noi, we've had some great Israeli guests.
Starting point is 01:50:26 Let's be clear. Some of our best episodes have been with radical Jews living there, radical Jews who have left there. You know, obviously, being inside of it gives you an angle. And we can't privilege those voices over Palestinians who live there, but they have a unique perspective that's important. And Orly Noi came on and she posted on her Facebook in Hebrew, but we have the translation here. I had the pleasure of being a guest on a podcast with the winning name Bad Hasbara, which is, as the brilliant Daniel and Matt call it, the most moral podcast in the world.
Starting point is 01:51:00 That's right. And I was very curious to see what her followers would say to this, okay? So here is what some of them said. And they were all positive. Oh. The most moral podcasts in the world, this is huge. Again, these were all written in Hebrew. These are all translated.
Starting point is 01:51:15 Someone else says, wala, which is an Arabic word, used frequently in, Israeli Hebrew, love them to pieces because to conquer America, then only with them. I think what the meaning was, that's the literal translation, would be like, okay, if you're going to conquer America, do it with these guys. Do it with the badass barra podcast. We sure are conquering America over here. Yeah, well done, guys. Ride the winning wave.
Starting point is 01:51:41 Please subscribe. We're almost at 49,000. It's a lot. Someone said, I listened yesterday. It's not bad. I listened yesterday and you really formulated a lot of the thoughts I had that day. It was really good to listen. It was sad and important.
Starting point is 01:51:56 Toda. Someone else said, thank you very much. And then my favorite comment, this is one of the most powerful podcasts of the English-speaking left. Wow. Well, high praise.
Starting point is 01:52:09 Now, I'm going to admit it. I have some fondness for Israelis. I just do. I always will. Their country is insane. We're both shaking our heads. Hopefully it won't exist in the new future. And they will be repatriated to a much better place.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Exactly. But I love it. I love it when our show can pierce the wall, you know, whether it's Palestinians listening in Gaza, as we know they do, or in the West Bank, or the little pockets of sanity in Israel, or so-called Israel, listening to the show and hearing something
Starting point is 01:52:43 and recognizing what we're pointing to. And maybe, who knows, maybe we can reach people and and soften up that that wall of carnage yeah i mean listen it's it's it's for for me it's not uh like especially like it's someone who's like an israeli is not some foreign thing to me growing up in west l.a you know it's a lot of Israelis i grew up uh in a very um israeli part of the city and uh so that i have no uh you know you You know, there are some people who I think have a knee-jerk thing when it comes to Israel where they're just like, I hate them all.
Starting point is 01:53:24 And I'm like, I kind of get it because all you have seen is, of course, them being bloodthirsty genocidal monsters. Having grown up, obviously, I have no specific prejudice against anyone. But I will say that, of course, Israelis in general, I'll say the society is a sick, racist, genocidal society. And the people who are there listening. to this podcast and who are just like, damn, this is good. There are sane people who are there who understand what's going on, and they, at the very least, have one parasocial output or outlet where they can be like, you know, hey, those guys, those guys get it, we're trash.
Starting point is 01:54:10 And we need for them to get more courageous than that. Oh, I don't know any of these people who commented, you know, except one and I know this that person is is active but you know it's it's not enough ultimately to just be like yeah we suck what are you going to do about it yeah listen I what are you going to do about it asshole yeah yeah but you know I love to be the equivalent of the um you know africonners get real hour and um you know hey listen if you are um if you are um Someone who's an Israeli and you're listening to this podcast and you fucking understand the evils of the Hezbarra machine and also the, what do they call it, the poison machine in internal Israeli society, you know, then I think you, at the very least, can sit back and enjoy being clowned on, you know, it's fine. And send us some shekels for the effort.
Starting point is 01:55:16 Absolutely, absolutely. but it is it is nice i mean orly was fucking uh such a fantastic guest incredible the the uh insights from israelis and palestinians who have you know who live there uh have been really i think um you know uh irreplaceable for this podcast because people do need to know um inside what's going on correct so anyways that's nice oh it's nice to hear something positive for the most part israelis are not norah's favorite segment i'm going to I'm just, I'm, yeah, I will say for the most part, Israelis have been putting us on lists to, uh, to either destroy or at the very least to tank our, uh, tank our five star rating.
