00:00:00.000 What is anti-Semitism, and why does it matter? In recent years, words like racist and abusive
00:00:05.000 and hate speech and anti-Semite have been weaponized and broadly applied without definition.
00:00:09.840 In fact, nobody really knows what these terms mean. Is telling a man that he's not a woman
00:00:13.580 hate speech? Is not wanting to move into an all-black neighborhood with a high crime rate 1.00
00:00:17.640 racist? Is attacking the doctrine of dispensationalism anti-Semitic? Well,
00:00:22.220 it depends on who you ask, and that's my point. While I don't care who calls me names,
00:00:26.040 this conversation becomes far more important when government agencies adopt these terms
00:00:29.920 as legal enforcement categories. This is why you need to understand that it's not whether America
00:00:34.620 will have blasphemy laws, but which blasphemy laws will be enforced. For example, why does the United
00:00:40.440 States, an allegedly free speech nation, have a federal task force dedicated to fighting
00:00:45.400 anti-Semitism? Will we have one for Islamophobia? What about the Germanic peoples or Asians? 0.55
00:00:51.580 Here's the problem. In America, you can mock Christ openly. You can desecrate Christian symbols.
00:00:56.800 You can blaspheme in the name of Jesus, and it's protected under free speech.
00:01:01.520 But criticize Israel, Zionism, or Judaism as a religious system,
00:01:04.880 and suddenly you're an anti-Semite or a Nazi, and maybe the U.S. government begins to watch you.
00:01:10.060 Now, here's my point. 0.76
00:01:11.540 Criticizing a system, a religion, or a nation state is not the same as hating individuals.
00:01:17.260 If I had to define anti-Semitism, I would make a distinction between attacking people and attacking systems.
00:01:23.260 I'm not against individual Jews or individual Muslims. 0.96
00:01:26.800 I want them all to come to Christ, but I am against Christ rejecting Judaism and Islam 0.69
00:01:32.160 and their religious political integration with America.
00:01:35.280 So no, I'm not anti-Semitic.
