The Ben Shapiro Show - Jew-Hatred Is So Hot Right Now | Ep. 1261

00:00:00.000 A spate of anti-Semitic attacks follows Hamas's war on Israel, while top Democrats condemn Islamophobia.

00:00:06.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:06.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:16.000 Your data is your business protected at expressvpn.com.

00:00:19.000 Slash Ben, we'll get to all the news in just one moment.

00:00:21.000 First, you can really save a lot of money on your cell phone bill.

00:00:24.000 And I haven't thought about this recently, but this is the reality.

00:00:27.000 The fact is that if you are with Verizon or AT&T or T-Mobile, you are spending too much money and switching over to Pure Talk USA will in fact save you money.

00:00:34.000 In fact, Pure Talk saves the average family for over $800 a year.

00:00:38.000 Here's the best part.

00:00:39.000 You don't have to sacrifice coverage because it's on the exact same network as one of those providers.

00:00:43.000 Friends, switching is easy.

00:00:44.000 You can keep your phone, keep your number, get huge discounts on the latest iPhones and Androids.

00:00:48.000 Right now, you can get unlimited talk, text, six gigs of data for just $30 a month.

00:00:53.000 And if you go over on data, they don't charge you for it.

00:00:55.000 It's just one of the many reasons they've been named the top wireless provider by Consumer Affairs.

00:01:00.000 Why wouldn't you save yourself hundreds of dollars a year?

00:01:02.000 If you could.

00:01:03.000 Well, right now you can by switching on over to Pure Talk USA.

00:01:06.000 From your cell phone, dial pound 250, say Ben Shapiro, you'll save 50% off your very first month.

00:01:11.000 That is pound 250, say Ben Shapiro to get started again.

00:01:14.000 Dial pound 250, say Ben Shapiro, get started with Pure Talk USA, save 50% off your first month and hundreds of bucks down the road, because what you need is not what all these big cell phone providers are actually promising you, which is the moon.

00:01:25.000 Instead, what you need is unlimited talk tech, six gigs of data for just 30 bucks a month.

00:01:28.000 And if you go over on data, they're not gonna charge you for it.

00:01:30.000 Check them out, Pure Talk USA, dial pound 250, say Ben Shapiro.

00:01:33.000 Also, before we get started, I do have a very important announcement.

00:01:36.000 We are looking for a producer here at Daily Wire.

00:01:39.000 That's right, this is a senior level position at our Nashville HQ.

00:01:57.000 Dailywire.com slash careers.

00:01:59.000 Alrighty, so.

00:02:01.000 I want to begin today with a simple fact.

00:02:04.000 I wear a yarmulke.

00:02:06.000 I've worn a yarmulke since, basically, I'm old enough to remember.

00:02:10.000 And there are a lot of folks who ask me why I wore a yarmulke or why I didn't take off the yarmulke as I grew in my career.

00:02:15.000 And the answer is because this is who I am and this is what I do.

00:02:17.000 It never occurred to me to take off the yarmulke.

00:02:20.000 And I've seen, over the course of the last week or so, this increase in anti-Semitic attacks.

00:02:26.000 I know a rabbi who, over the weekend, explained That he was at a supermarket and a man walked up to him and to his son wearing a Hamas headband and started cursing him.

00:02:38.000 Cursing the Jews. 0.99

00:02:39.000 And so a lot of people ask why I wear a yarmulke.

00:02:42.000 I don't talk about this frequently.

00:02:43.000 The reason I'm talking about it now is because I think it's really, really important to understand why Jews wear a yarmulke. 1.00

00:02:48.000 The reason that Jews wear a yarmulke and make ourselves identifiable. 0.98

00:02:52.000 Theoretically we could hide, although historically that has not been a winning strategy for Jews.

00:02:56.000 The reason I wear a yarmulke is for two reasons.

00:02:58.000 One, there's a religious reason.

00:03:00.000 Going all the way back to the Talmud, Jews have worn yarmulkes. 0.99

00:03:02.000 They've covered their heads out of submission to God and as a reminder that God is above us at all times.

00:03:07.000 And the second reason is because, no, I'm not going anywhere and anybody who has a problem with it can write off.

00:03:14.000 Okay, the simple fact of the matter is that I believe in the promises that were made by God in the Bible.

00:03:20.000 I believe in those promises.

00:03:22.000 I believe Isaiah, when he says, Isaiah 8.10, I believe that when Isaiah says, plan your plan, speak your words, it will come to nothing, for God is with us.

00:03:37.000 I believe that because I believe in biblical values.

00:03:40.000 I believe in the first book of Samuel, where Samuel says, And the eternal of Israel, the eternal God of Israel, is no lie.

00:03:50.000 And that means the eternity of the Bible and biblical values, those are no lie either.

00:03:56.000 I wear a yarmulke because I am proudly a descendant of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Moses and David.

00:04:03.000 I am of their people.

00:04:05.000 I am of their ideals and of their values.

00:04:07.000 And if you have a problem with it, not only do you have a problem with Jews, you have a problem with the entire Judeo-Christian line of values.

00:04:13.000 I wear this yarmulke because I am proud of that identity.

00:04:17.000 And you know what?

00:04:18.000 I'm proud that the state of Israel exists as well.

00:04:22.000 I am proud that there is a state of Israel, a state that is a repository for Jewish values.

00:04:27.000 I am proud that there are Jews out there carrying guns in defense of Jews, because for thousands of years, that was not the case.

00:04:35.000 I am proud, as all civilized Western people should be, that there is a state in the Middle East that stands for the reality, not only of strong Jews, but stands for a democratic truth, stands for a democratic state.

00:04:49.000 And you've heard that Israel is some sort of apartheid state.

00:04:52.000 Let me give you a quick stat, okay?

00:04:54.000 Here is the number of Jews in Israel right now, 1.9 million Arabs in the Jewish state of Israel.

00:05:01.000 Hey, there are 9 million people total in the state of Israel.

00:05:03.000 1.9 million Arabs.

00:05:04.000 You know how many Jews there are in all of these so-called non-apartheid states surrounding Israel?

00:05:08.000 There are a grand total of 10 Jews in Egypt.

00:05:11.000 Population, 100 million.

00:05:14.000 There are zero Jews in Jordan, population 10 million.

00:05:17.000 Zero Jews in Saudi Arabia, population 34 million.

00:05:21.000 100 Jews in Lebanon, population 7 million.

00:05:23.000 Zero Jews in Syria, population 17 million.

00:05:26.000 Four Jews in Iraq, population 39 million.

00:05:29.000 8,300 Jews in Iran, population 83 million.

00:05:33.000 How many Jews are there living under the wonderful auspices of the Palestinian Authority?

00:05:38.000 Population 2.7 million?

00:05:40.000 Zero.

00:05:41.000 How many are living?

00:05:42.000 Under the tender mercies of the terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, zero.

00:05:46.000 There are two million people who live under Hamas.

00:05:49.000 In Israel, 20% of the population is Arab.

00:05:53.000 Minimum and rising.

00:05:55.000 And that is because Israel is tolerant and Israel is democratic.

00:05:57.000 And I am proud of that as a Westerner.

00:06:00.000 I am proud of the fact that Israel is humane.

00:06:03.000 In the middle of wars, Israel is attempting to minimize civilian casualties of a population that supported Hamas by poll statistics.

00:06:11.000 That Israel is attempting to avoid killing civilians.

00:06:13.000 Meanwhile, its enemies are attempting to shield their own weapons with civilians.

00:06:17.000 I am proud of the fact that Israel carries out its values in war and in peace.

00:06:23.000 And I'm proud of the fact that Israel is in fact in an outlying area of Western democracy. 0.91

00:06:31.000 Not because it is some sort of colonialist outpost, but because the Jews never left, and because the root of the West remains through that Judeo-Christian line. 0.53

00:06:40.000 I am proud of all those things.

00:06:41.000 And because I'm proud of all those things, as an American, and as a Jew, I wear this yarmulke. 0.99

00:06:47.000 And if you have a problem with this, you can f*** right off. 0.96

00:06:50.000 And I mean that to all the anti-Semites who are out there, all the anti-Semites who want to suggest That Jews everywhere should be living in fear of wearing a yarmulke or speaking their values? 0.98

00:07:04.000 Which happen to be correct values?

00:07:06.000 Everyone out there who suggests that if you support Israel, you deserve to be treated as a second-class citizen?

00:07:12.000 Or that Israel itself ought to be treated as a second-class country?

00:07:17.000 I wear the yarmulke because I stand against all of that.

00:07:20.000 And I know that there are tons of people who are not Jewish who believe the same things that I do.

00:07:25.000 And I'm so grateful for that.

00:07:27.000 I get your notes.

00:07:28.000 I get your letters of support.

00:07:31.000 I get that the vast majority of Americans understand the truth, not only with regard to the Israel-Arab conflict, which of course is a foreign conflict, but also they understand the underlying truth about the nature of Jews living in the United States and the reality of Jewish values.

00:07:50.000 And I say all of this to say that if people fail to recognize these basic truths that Judeo-Christian values undergird American values and Western values and liberties that we all enjoy.

00:08:00.000 If people fail to recognize the basic decency of one state attempting to minimize civilian casualties while another terrorist group attempts to wipe every Jew it can off the planet.

00:08:10.000 That if people fail to recognize this, and if they in fact forward this agenda, and if they cheer that agenda, they are complicit in the anti-Semitic attacks that we have seen over the course of these weekends.

00:08:19.000 I'm not saying they're responsible for those attacks unless they openly call for them, because I have a very strict standard when it comes to quote-unquote incitement.

00:08:24.000 But you have raised the temperature, you have made it more comfortable.

00:08:28.000 And that is what I am seeing.

00:08:29.000 Okay, I have...

00:08:32.000 Close relatives who live in New Jersey.

00:08:34.000 People in- Jews in New Jersey were told over the course of this weekend that they were supposed to stay in their homes over Sabbath.

00:08:41.000 That is un-American. 0.78

00:08:43.000 I have a lot of friends in New York who are walking around in groups because they are afraid to walk around alone in the city of New York in the United States.

00:08:52.000 These attacks are not fake.

00:08:54.000 These attacks are not rare.

00:08:56.000 Jews, historically in the United States, have been the number one target of hate crimes in the United States.

00:09:01.000 But that's constantly forgotten because, of course, we now live in a world in which victimization can be linked to your historical dispossession so long as your group is not well-educated and wealthy.

00:09:11.000 In the same way that anti-Asian sentiment went completely by the wayside for years because Asian-Americans tend to be well-educated and wealthy, anti-Semitism has gone by the wayside.

00:09:21.000 Unless it's a convenient club with which to beat people on the right.

00:09:27.000 The reality today is that institutionalized anti-Semitism lives on the American left.

00:09:33.000 The truth is that the spate of anti-semitic attacks that we've seen over the course of the last week is not coming from white supremacists. 0.98

00:09:39.000 White supremacists are scary enough. 0.98

00:09:40.000 Believe me, I've spoken up about them. 0.97

00:09:43.000 Just a couple of years ago, the FBI arrested a white supremacist attempting to threaten and hurt my family.

00:09:49.000 But the threat that we have seen over the last week, people in the streets going around attempting to beat Jews, that is not coming from white supremacists.

00:09:56.000 That is coming from A radicalized Islamic population backed by the American left in many ways.

00:10:08.000 So let's get into what exactly happened over the weekend.

00:10:12.000 So over the course of the last week, several Jews in New York have been beaten up by Palestinian mobs.

00:10:18.000 Here is one Jew talking about that experience over the course of the last week.

00:10:24.000 I was walking on the way, had my Amica on, my Keepa, and around 48th Street, at the corner of my eye, I see someone chasing me.

00:10:31.000 Before I could even react, I was surrounded by a whole group of, you know, individuals who then proceeded to, you know, kick me, punch me, hit me with crutches, beat me with, like, flagpoles.

00:10:42.000 I've seen videos in L.A., I've seen videos in London, and you think it can happen anywhere, but, you know, when it actually happens, like, I mean, it's incredible.

00:10:56.000 And let me just point out something.

00:10:58.000 He says, you know, I was just wearing a yarmulke.

00:11:00.000 And people identified me as a Zionist and as pro-Israel because I was wearing a yarmulke.

00:11:04.000 Okay, number one, there are some Jews who are not, but put that aside.

00:11:09.000 The reality is that in the United States of America, if you're wearing a yarmulke or if you're wearing a shirt that says, I stand with Israel, that doesn't mean that there's now an excuse to beat the hell out of you.

00:11:20.000 If you were wearing a shirt that says, I support Palestine, you don't have a right in the United States to beat somebody up or be beaten up.

00:11:29.000 This is insane.

00:11:30.000 But there is this feeling out there that has become quite predominant on the radical left that if you support Israel in any way, shape or form, that you deserve to have this done to you. 0.92

00:11:40.000 It's sick.

00:11:41.000 It is a sickness.

00:11:43.000 According to Fox News, NYPD Hate Crimes Division said Saturday it's investigating two more incidents targeting Jewish people in New York City that appear to be prompted by the recent Israel-Palestinian conflict.

00:11:52.000 By the way, quick note.

00:11:53.000 I checked the New York Times webpage last night.

00:11:55.000 I checked their whole page.

00:11:56.000 No mention of any of this.

00:11:57.000 The Washington Post did have a story on it.

00:11:59.000 That is their first story, I believe, in a week.

00:12:01.000 The New York Times had nothing.

00:12:02.000 As of last night.

00:12:04.000 Two Jewish teenagers were reportedly surrounded by an angry mob with baseball bats around 6 or 7 p.m.

00:12:08.000 Saturday on Ocean Parkway and 18th Avenue in Brooklyn.

00:12:11.000 The crowd demanded that the teens chant, free Palestine before beating them because nothing says, there's no need for a Jewish state anymore. 0.97

00:12:18.000 Quite like beating up random Jews in the streets. 0.97

00:12:20.000 Makes perfect sense. 0.96

00:12:22.000 The same people who are saying if there were no Israel, there would be no antisemitism are literally beating up Jews in the streets.

00:12:27.000 I don't believe you.

00:12:29.000 I think you are lying. 0.98

00:12:31.000 I think you just hate Jews. 0.76

00:12:33.000 Dev Huyken is the former state assemblyman and founder of the grassroots coalition Americans Against Anti-Semitism. 0.88

00:12:38.000 He said in a tweet that the teens were saved by a Muslim Uber driver who drove them to safety. 0.98

00:12:43.000 Another incident in Brooklyn on Saturday involved Orthodox Jews who were reportedly harassed in front of a synagogue on 16th Avenue by a group of males yelling, free Palestine, kill all the Jews.

00:12:52.000 I have friends in Los Angeles who over the holiday of Shavuot last week were walking home from synagogue and people drove by shouting free Palestine at them and Allahu Akbar.

00:13:00.000 So wonderful things happening all over the United States.

00:13:03.000 We'll get to more of this in just one second.

00:13:05.000 First, let us talk about the fact that my kids wake me up extraordinarily early in the morning, and that means I need my coffee.

00:13:10.000 I didn't used to be a coffee drinker.

00:13:12.000 My kids have made me a coffee drinker, and the coffee that I prefer is Black Rifle Coffee.

00:13:16.000 They're delivering your daily dose of freedom in one delicious cup at a time.

00:13:20.000 Black Rifle Coffee Company is a veteran-owned coffee company serving premium coffee to people who love America.

00:13:25.000 Veterans CEO and founder Evan Hafer spent over seven years on the ground overseas with U.S.

00:13:29.000 Special Forces and as a CIA contractor.

00:13:32.000 Black Rifle is continually committed to supporting veteran, law enforcement, and first responder causes.

00:13:36.000 In our country and overseas, courageous frontline workers risk their lives every day to protect ours.

00:14:26.000 Okay, so all of that is happening in New York.

00:14:31.000 Also, New York having some of the world's worst criminal law enforcement at this point.

00:14:38.000 They have now released a man who beat up a Jew in Midtown Manhattan.

00:14:44.000 According to the Post Millennial, a man arrested in connection to the beating of a Jewish man in Midtown Manhattan was released on bail Thursday, telling prosecutors on Sunday he would do it again. 0.95

00:14:52.000 He said openly he would do it again.

00:14:53.000 He was released on bail because this is New York now.

00:14:56.000 Waseem Awawdeh, 23, was held on $10,000 bail after being accused of beating Joseph Borgen with crutches, as well as punching, kicking, and pepper spraying the man.

00:15:03.000 That was the first person we quoted today.

00:15:06.000 Awawdeh, according to a special prosecutor at his Sunday arraignment in Manhattan, reportedly told one of his jailers, if I could do it again, I would do it again.

00:15:14.000 By the way, when he was arrested, he was wearing a shirt that just said Free Palestine.

00:15:18.000 It was the entire map of Israel.

00:15:20.000 Because when people say Free Palestine, understand, they don't mean the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

00:15:24.000 They don't mean Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip.

00:15:25.000 They mean all of it.

00:15:28.000 Prosecutors say the attack on Borgen, who was walking near Broadway and West 49th Street on his way to a pro-Israel demonstration in Midtown, was unprovoked.

00:15:35.000 By the way, Broadway and West 49th Street is not a bad area of New York.

00:15:38.000 I know they're now all bad areas of New York, but this is, like, right near Times Square.

00:15:41.000 Friends of WADA told the New York Post he was the one that was attacked first.

00:15:45.000 He said he would do it again.

00:15:45.000 Uh-huh.

00:15:46.000 I'm sure that's right.

00:15:47.000 Uh-huh.

00:15:47.000 Save the police.

00:15:48.000 Uh-huh. He said he would do it again. I'm sure that's right.

00:15:51.000 Mm-hmm.

00:15:52.000 Iwata is facing charges of assault as a hate crime, gang assault, menacing, aggravated harassment as a hate crime, and criminal possession of a weapon.

00:15:59.000 Save the police.

00:16:01.000 Borgen was walking down the street sporting a kipo when a man started running at me, running at him.

00:16:06.000 He said, I turned around to try to figure out what was going on.

00:16:08.000 The next thing I knew, I was surrounded by a whole crowd of people who proceeded to physically attack me.

00:16:13.000 And he has a concussion, by the way.

00:16:15.000 So really solid stuff happening in New York.

00:16:19.000 Speaking of which, Luca Robert Davis, a 20-year-old rookie goalie for the New York Red Bulls Major League Soccer team, said on Thursday night in New York City he was accosted by a group of six to eight Palestinian men who accosted him and asked him if he was Jewish as they brandished knives, according to the Daily Wire.

00:16:33.000 Lewis wrote that when he said he was not Jewish, one of the men said, good. 1.00

00:16:37.000 But when Lewis prompted, what if I was Jewish, the man got in his face saying, I'd beat the effing bleep out of you and kill you. 1.00

00:16:43.000 This is what he wrote on Instagram. 1.00

00:16:47.000 Again, wonderful things happening in New York.

00:16:49.000 But it's not just in New York.

00:16:52.000 An armed citizen had to intervene in Miami, according to Breitbart.

00:16:55.000 In Fox News, on May 21st, Fox News reported that Eric Organ and his family were walking down the sidewalk in the Ball Harbor neighborhood, which is a heavily Jewish neighborhood of Miami.

00:17:04.000 When a group of men allegedly pulled up in a vehicle and started shouting and throwing garbage at them. 0.99

00:17:08.000 Oregon told CBS 12 that the men in the vehicle also allegedly screamed, free Palestine, die Jew, eff you Jew, I'm going to rape your wife. 1.00

00:17:15.000 An armed citizen in another vehicle saw it was happening and then intervened. 0.99

00:17:19.000 This is Florida, so there are actual consequences to this sort of stuff.

00:17:22.000 Oregon says the guy in the car behind them saw everything go on.

00:17:25.000 I saw him pull a gun and get in between.

00:17:26.000 I mean, he was almost there as our guardian angel, just protecting us.

00:17:29.000 I think once they saw him, they just took off.

00:17:30.000 By the way, it is worthwhile noting, I'm in South Florida.

00:17:33.000 What's happening?

00:17:34.000 These pro-Palestinian crowds, these demonstrators who are running around chanting anti-Semitic slogans, they're going specifically to Jewish areas. 0.53

00:17:40.000 They're not going to legislative areas and talking to legislators.

00:17:43.000 They're going to the most Jewish areas they can find in South Florida in an attempt to intimidate. 1.00

00:17:48.000 Carrying around pure anti-Semitic hate slogans, in many cases.

00:17:52.000 So, if you're running around Jewish areas carrying around anti-Semitic hate slogans, basically you're the Nazis walking through Skokie.

00:17:59.000 You've just decided to identify a Jewish area and then try to intimidate everybody that you can. 0.99

00:18:04.000 Which is disgusting. 0.96

00:18:05.000 But unfortunately, not rare.

00:18:06.000 Four U.S.

00:18:07.000 synagogues were vandalized in the past week.

00:18:10.000 Not by white supremacists. 0.72

00:18:11.000 Not by white supremacists. 0.93

00:18:12.000 Believe me. 0.99

00:18:13.000 I have enough hatred to go around for the white supremacists. 0.98

00:18:15.000 And they have enough hatred for me. 0.96

00:18:18.000 What we are seeing on the streets, what we've seen in Europe, is not white supremacists predominantly. 0.98

00:18:21.000 What we are seeing right now is radical Islamists who are going around attempting to beat, intimidate, and threaten Jews. 0.80

00:18:30.000 Meanwhile, over in Europe, you're seeing exactly that.

00:18:34.000 Over in London, tens of thousands of people showed up to protest basically the existence of the State of Israel, carrying anti-Semitic slogans.

00:18:41.000 A man standing on a lion statue in Trafalgar Square yesterday held a Palestinian flag.

00:18:45.000 Beneath him, a placard read, Stop doing what Hitler did to you.

00:18:48.000 A poster held up by a woman read, Israel, the new Nazi state. 0.99

00:18:51.000 This is all anti-Semitic bullcrap, obviously. 0.98

00:18:54.000 You're literally talking about Israel facing down a terrorist group that openly pledged in 1988 in its charter documents to kill every Jew it could find. 0.99

00:19:02.000 But don't worry, the Jews defending themselves, those are the anti-Semites. 0.97

00:19:06.000 Those are the Hitlerian genocidal people. 1.00

00:19:10.000 It's crazy. 0.98

00:19:11.000 And meanwhile, people are walking through the streets of London, accompanied by the police, chanting that they would like to hunt Jews.

00:19:18.000 This is video from just over the weekend.

00:19:22.000 We'll find some Jews there!

00:19:25.000 I'm not the blood.

00:19:32.000 No.

00:19:43.000 OK, so it's just wonder and joy out there.

00:19:45.000 It's just truly wonderful stuff.

00:19:47.000 So what has been the response of the mainstream left increasingly?

00:19:52.000 The response of the mainstream left has either been to cower in a corner or to make excuses for this sort of stuff, because there's a basic logic that predominates.

00:19:58.000 And that is that if you're a Jew wearing a yarmulke, it must be that as a supporter of Israel, which you probably are, not all are, but virtually all Orthodox Jews support the existence of the state of Israel, not just because they're Jewish, but also because they believe in the common values of the West and the state of Israel.

00:20:13.000 As an American, that is what I believe.

00:20:15.000 But the idea is that if you support Israel, somehow you deserve what's coming to you. 0.97

00:20:19.000 That's what's so amazing.

00:20:20.000 You'll see people say, well, you know what?

00:20:22.000 If you're shouting bad things at the Jews, but they're about Israel, then that's just anti-Zionism. 0.71

00:20:27.000 It's not anti-Semitism. 0.93

00:20:29.000 Weird how the same exact people who are expressing anti-Zionism are willing to beat Jews with pipes, apparently.

00:20:35.000 Weird how that crossover is strange.

00:20:37.000 Almost like a Venn diagram that looks just like a circle.

00:20:41.000 The crossover is 100% virtually.

00:20:46.000 It's an amazing thing.

00:20:47.000 So, what has been the response from the left to papoo this stuff and to take sides with Hamas?

00:20:52.000 Now again, what's amazing truly about this particular conflict is this is not even about the drawing of borders between, for example, the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli authorities.

00:21:01.000 It's not about that.

00:21:02.000 This is not about the Legal case that was happening in Sheikh Jarrah.

00:21:05.000 This is about a terrorist group, an American State Department designated terrorist group, firing rockets at civilians in Israel.

00:21:12.000 Israel making pinpoint attacks in an attempt to knock out their infrastructure.

00:21:16.000 And hundreds of thousands of people marching in the streets to say that Israel shouldn't exist as a response.

00:21:20.000 And a bunch of leftists in American life and abroad saying that Israel is the problem here.

00:21:26.000 If you believe Israel is the problem in a conflict between an actual genocidal terrorist group and Israel, Let me just say you're an anti-Semite.

00:21:32.000 Okay, because there really is no other rationale. 0.86

00:21:34.000 You're gonna have to explain the rationale as to why you are siding with the genocidal terrorist group that, by the way, is subjecting two million citizens in the Gaza Strip to a perfect form of absolute tyranny, in which gay people are killed and informers are murdered, and it's... It's an incredible thing.

00:21:51.000 I've never seen a clearer moral conflict than Hamas, an actual terrorist group being backed by the radical left, And people in order to justify that pooh-poohing Islamist attacks on Jews around the world.

00:22:06.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:23:11.000 Okay, so what has been the mainstream left's response to all of this?

00:23:15.000 Well, first, the media basically attempted to ignore all of it.

00:23:18.000 So the New York Times, all of last week, paid no attention to the anti-Semitic attacks that had been happening in its own city.

00:23:23.000 That's not a shock.

00:23:23.000 We saw Bill de Blasio suggest that there was no anti-Semitism in his city, just like two years ago, when Jews were routinely being beaten in the streets of Williamsburg.

00:23:31.000 We saw the left act as though there was no anti-Semitism anywhere in the New York, New Jersey area, when there was an actual black Hebrew Israelite terrorist attack on Jews in New Jersey.

00:23:39.000 Oh, well, where did this come from?

00:23:41.000 Okay, like, Orthodox Jews can tell you exactly where I came from since they're the ones getting beaten in the streets of Williamsburg. 1.00

00:23:47.000 It's an amazing, amazing— So the first response is just ignore it.

00:23:50.000 The second response is to come out in strong defense of people who have been raising the temperature and telling the same anti-Semitic lies that act as fodder for people who actually commit these sorts of attacks.

00:24:02.000 Let me be clear about this.

00:24:04.000 One of the things that has been happening in terms of the upswing in street violence that we are seeing right now is a broader thing happening across American society.

00:24:10.000 In the wake of last year's decision by cities across the nation to basically tell the cops not to police, radicals of virtually every front have decided that it's open season.

00:24:22.000 After a year of Black Lives Matter protesters devolving into riots, and people committing high levels of street crime, and murder rising by 30% in America's major cities, and beatings going unprosecuted, and criminals being unmolested by the cops, it turns out a lot of people think they can get away with nearly anything. 0.51

00:24:40.000 Those two things are not unrelated.

00:24:41.000 When you remove the cops from the situation, chaos ensues.

00:24:44.000 And usually the people who pay the price, very often when chaos ensues, when law enforcement don't do their jobs, when people who are bad feel that they can go out and do whatever they want, Jews very often pay the price for that, historically speaking. 0.95

00:24:55.000 But it's more than that.

00:24:56.000 On an ideological level, the radical left has decided that there is a commonality between Black Lives Matter, for example, and and Palestinian terror groups in some cases.

00:25:07.000 There's a whole article in the Washington Post.

00:25:09.000 Black Lives Matter activists recently took to the streets of Indianapolis to protest for Palestinians.

00:25:13.000 In Congress, a lawmaker who cut her teeth as a Black Lives Matter organizer and who has compared her clashes with police to those faced by Palestinians tweeted Friday, a ceasefire ends the bombardment, not the violence.

00:25:24.000 During the height of the recent Gaza hostilities, the official Black Lives Matter organization called for, quote-unquote, Palestinian liberation, six years after the group's early leaders took a trip to the Middle East that planted the seeds for the current alliance.

00:25:34.000 By the way, when they talk about Palestinian liberation, understand you're talking about control by the Palestinian Authority, a terrorist group, Hamas, a terrorist group, and Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group.

00:25:43.000 This was in the Black Lives Matter formative documents.

00:25:46.000 It was on their website to free Palestine.

00:25:48.000 Why?

00:25:49.000 Because there's a broader theory that I've been talking about on the show It goes all the way from Frantz Fanon and forward.

00:25:53.000 And the basic idea is that the systems of power in the West benefit Jews. 0.87

00:25:59.000 There's an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on the left that crosses streams with mainstream leftist ideology.

00:26:05.000 Mainstream leftist ideology is that the institutions of the West create unequal outcomes.

00:26:10.000 And because those institutions of the West create unequal outcomes, this means that anybody who is successful under those systems is a beneficiary of the system and cannot be a victim.

00:26:18.000 And anybody who is unsuccessful is victimized by the system and cannot be an oppressor.

00:26:23.000 And so when you look at that internationally, what you see is that if Israel is very successful, this means that it must have oppressed the Palestinians, even though Israel pulled out of the Gaza Strip in 2005, 16 years ago. 0.52

00:26:33.000 Even though the vast majority of Palestinians live under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority, which is their governing agency.

00:26:40.000 They do not live under the day-to-day administrative mercy of the Israelis.

00:26:45.000 They live under the day-to-day administrative chaos of the Palestinian Authority, which is the reason why Israeli Arabs have not sought out migration to Palestinian areas.

00:26:53.000 They're not interested.

00:26:54.000 They wanna stay in Israel, because Israel actually governs its citizens well, as opposed to its enemies.

00:26:58.000 But Black Lives Matter, because again, they buy into this basic international intersectionality theory, whereby we can identify victimized groups and victimizer groups by level of success, This means that there's a commonality between Black Lives Matter and the Palestinian Authority and Hamas and all of the people who support the destruction of the State of Israel.

00:27:18.000 Black Lives Matter in the United States, which has grown into a potent political force amid a national reckoning on race, has responded forcefully to the violence in the Mideast to extend its reach into foreign policy, according to the Washington Post, pressing the Democratic Party to adopt a dramatically different approach to the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

00:27:33.000 This of course is right. The radical left is pushing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because again, there's this idea that if we tear down systems of power, this means the Jews fall too. There is simple crossover. And how has the mainstream left responded to this delusional nonsense? They've responded by patting it on the head. So AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, wrongly called the quote unquote Israel lobby by its enemies. 0.81

00:27:59.000 Basically, it's just the same as a pro-Italy PAC in the United States or a pro-Irish PAC in the United States.

00:28:05.000 They exist for nearly every country in the United States.

00:28:07.000 In any case, AIPAC has been made this big bugaboo by anti-Semites across the United States.

00:28:10.000 AIPAC is really quite a moderate organization is the simple fact of it.

00:28:14.000 AIPAC, in fact, was so dominated by Democrats at its top level that during the Obama administration, they didn't even push for a vote on the Iran deal.

00:28:22.000 It was very controversial inside the halls of AIPAC, in any case.

00:28:24.000 AIPAC put out some ads pointing out that Ilhan Omar is an anti-Semite.

00:28:29.000 All they did was quote her.

00:28:30.000 They put out ads in which, for example, Omar's face was superimposed onto Hamas rockets, with text that claims when Israel targets Hamas, Representative Omar calls it an act of terrorism.

00:28:41.000 That's correct, because what she tweeted was, Israeli airstrikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism.

00:28:47.000 They were not killing civilians in targeted fashion, they were attempting to kill Hamas members.

00:28:52.000 Ilhan Omar knows that.

00:28:54.000 Of course, the Washington Post defends Ilhan Omar.

00:28:56.000 The ad distorted Omar's tweet from last week in which she said that Israeli airstrikes killing civilians in Gaza, not Hamas specifically, were an act of... The missiles were aimed at Hamas members!

00:29:06.000 Okay, so I understand the Washington Post is just the press office for anti-Semite Ilhan Omar, but that's pretty incredible stuff.

00:29:12.000 Omar's office warned the company similar images of her face with Hamas attacks have directly inspired death threats against her.

00:29:18.000 So this is the way that the left is going to play this, is that if you're a radical anti-Semite who de facto supports Hamas, I mean, she literally has attempted to block aid to Israel's Onion Dome, which is a defensive technology preventing rockets from falling in civilian areas.

00:29:31.000 But if you do that, then you put an ad out there, then you're the real problem.

00:29:36.000 Nancy Pelosi came to Omar's defense. 0.92

00:29:39.000 She has not chided Ilhan Omar.

00:29:40.000 She refused last year to condemn Ilhan Omar after openly anti-Semitic statements.

00:29:46.000 Okay, and Nancy Pelosi rushed to her defense. 1.00

00:29:50.000 Omar's office has called on AIPAC to apologize and her deputy communications director, Isi Bearbrin, called the ads anti-Muslim hate speech.

00:30:01.000 AIPAC said this is a fair and accurate statement.

00:30:04.000 Okay, the fact that then Ilhan Omar called on Facebook to remove it.

00:30:07.000 Okay, so how did the rest of the Democratic Party respond to all this?

00:30:10.000 So we've seen this radical uptick in anti-Semitic attacks over the course of the last week, largely by Palestinians and Palestinian supporters.

00:30:17.000 So how have mainstream Democrats responded to this?

00:30:19.000 They responded to it with the same kind of moral equivalence that they were so quick to decry when President Trump, for example, suggested that there were problems on both sides in Charlottesville.

00:30:30.000 Right, what they said, And it's truly incredible.

00:30:34.000 They're all tweeting out, en masse, on message, that there's a radical increase in anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

00:30:40.000 Now, can anyone show me any evidence of increased anti-Islamic attacks over the course of the last week?

00:30:45.000 Any?

00:30:46.000 Any?

00:30:47.000 The answer is no, because it's a lie.

00:30:50.000 What they are saying is that if you are pro-Israel, you are Islamophobic, and therefore, It's not super anti-Semitic if you are attacked.

00:30:56.000 That's the logic here.

00:30:57.000 And it's being put out there by every radical Democrat.

00:31:00.000 Every single one.

00:31:01.000 Bernie Sanders tweeted this out.

00:31:03.000 He tweeted out, We've recently seen disturbing anti-Semitic attacks and a troubling rise in Islamophobia.

00:31:08.000 Really?

00:31:08.000 Where's the- Really?

00:31:09.000 If you are committed to a future of equality and peaceful coexistence, please stand united against anyone who promotes hatred of any kind.

00:31:15.000 It's- Unbelievable.

00:31:16.000 The same people who rip on Trump's rhetoric?

00:31:19.000 That guy's rhetoric?

00:31:21.000 A guy took that guy's rhetoric and shot up a bunch of Congress people, and that was not even a national story for more than a week.

00:31:25.000 And now here he is, after having suggested that Israel is essentially an apartheid state.

00:31:30.000 Now, again, any statistical data to demonstrate that there's an increase in Islamophobia, Islamophobic attacks, in the United States or abroad?

00:31:35.000 member of the squad, the Ringo star of the squad.

00:31:37.000 She tweeted out, I strongly condemn the rise in antisemitism and Islamophobia we're seeing across the country.

00:31:43.000 And Islamophobia.

00:31:44.000 Now, again, any statistical data to demonstrate that there's an increase in Islamophobia, Islamophobic attacks in the United States or abroad?

00:31:52.000 Nope, nope.

00:31:54.000 What does she mean?

00:31:55.000 She means that if you defend Israel, you're an Islamophobe.

00:31:57.000 That's what she means.

00:31:58.000 That is the logic here.

00:31:59.000 That if you are pro-Israel, in a conflict between Israel and an actual, honest-to-God, Islamist terrorist group, then this means you're an Islamophobe. 0.51

00:32:06.000 And so we can count that as Islamophobia.

00:32:08.000 On the same level as people who are just attacking Jews in the streets. 0.75

00:32:11.000 Who, by the way, those Jews, I mean, let's be real about this, those Jews probably support Israel, so probably they're Islamophobic, so kinda they deserve it. 1.00

00:32:17.000 Jamal Bowman did the same thing. 0.88

00:32:18.000 We've seen an increase in anti-Semitic and Islamophobic hate in New York City and nationwide.

00:32:22.000 And it's not just them.

00:32:23.000 It's over and over and over.

00:32:24.000 Okay, there are dozens of Congress people who are doing this.

00:32:28.000 Congresswoman Marie Newman is anti-Semitic and Islamophobic attacks across the United States. 0.93

00:32:34.000 Julian Castro.

00:32:36.000 He says, forcefully condemn anti-Semitic and Islamophobic attacks.

00:32:39.000 Where are the Islamophobic attacks?

00:32:40.000 Seriously, where?

00:32:42.000 Have there been incidents that we are unaware of nationally on this?

00:32:46.000 Leslie and Brandt, same sort of deal.

00:32:48.000 This is the shtick.

00:32:50.000 Okay, the shtick is that we are going to pretend that a rise in anti-Semitic attacks is always increased.

00:32:56.000 It's always driven by a rise in Islamophobia.

00:32:58.000 That's truly what lies at the root of all of this.

00:33:01.000 Okay, so that's what's happening at a Democratic Party institutional level is they've decided to buy into the intersectional logic that means that if you believe that Israel is not wrong in this conflict and has a right and a duty to defend its own citizenry, or let's face it, if you wear a yarmulke, well, you know, if the intersection, I mean, you are kind of white, You are kind of white. 0.55

00:33:21.000 And Israel is kind of powerful.

00:33:24.000 So that you can't be a victim.

00:33:25.000 Probably you're more like a victimizer, probably.

00:33:28.000 And then they wonder why anti-Semitism is rising. 0.93

00:33:30.000 Get rid of the cops.

00:33:31.000 Get rid of the militating institutions. 0.97

00:33:33.000 Tell people that Israel is an apartheid terror state. 0.95

00:33:35.000 Lie to them about that, which is an anti-Semitic lie. 0.68

00:33:39.000 Suggest that anyone who's wearing a yarmulke is responsible for that.

00:33:42.000 And then...

00:33:44.000 I wonder why this is happening.

00:33:45.000 But where's the entire left?

00:33:45.000 I wonder why.

00:33:46.000 The same left that Trump says that Trump raised the temperature and caused the Tree of Life synagogue shooting.

00:33:52.000 Even though the guy who committed that shooting was overtly anti-Trump.

00:33:57.000 Doesn't matter.

00:33:58.000 Trump raised the temperature and his language was bad.

00:34:00.000 And I, back in 2015, pointed out that Trump winking and nodding at the alt-right was a terrible, terrible thing.

00:34:06.000 Okay, but these are the same people who suggested that Trump was the real anti-Semite.

00:34:09.000 Oh, Trump's the most pro-Israel president in American history. 0.93

00:34:11.000 He's the real anti-Semite. 0.83

00:34:13.000 Meanwhile, they're supporting open anti-Semitic attacks, open anti-Semitism, Congress people who hate Jews, or going silent, being like Chuck Schumer. 0.95

00:34:23.000 Oh, every so often I'll tweet something out, Chuck Schumer. 1.00

00:34:26.000 Chuck Schumer, that pathetic hypocrite. 0.99

00:34:28.000 Chuck Schumer, a man who used to go around the city of New York explaining to people that his last name, Schumer, came from the Hebrew Shomer, which meant that he would be a guardian of Israel. 1.00

00:34:36.000 Yeah, where is he?

00:34:37.000 Anywhere?

00:34:38.000 Nah, he's running scared because maybe AOC is going to primary him. 1.00

00:34:42.000 Pathetic. 0.95

00:34:43.000 Meanwhile, you see the international agenda being pursued by the Biden administration, which, frankly, I'm surprised that they held out as long as they did before telling Israel to stop with regard to knocking out Hamas. 0.94

00:34:55.000 When we get to the international agenda, the broader international agenda is fomenting Hamas. 0.98

00:35:01.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:35:02.000 First, let us talk about protecting yourself.

00:35:04.000 So as you may notice, I'm pretty concerned about protecting myself these days, which is why I own a bevy of weapons.

00:35:10.000 It's also why I have AR-500 armor.

00:35:12.000 People all over the country are buying body armor from AR-500 armor because they offer armor selection for everyone, whether you want armor for discreet use in public or something more robust for protection while you're hunting or at the shooting range.

00:35:23.000 Owning body armor is becoming synonymous with owning a firearm, and it should be.

00:35:26.000 The Second Amendment protects both arms and armor.

00:35:29.000 Body armor is purely defensive.

00:35:30.000 Some armor is so discreet, nobody even knows that you are wearing it.

00:35:33.000 AR500 Armor makes buying body armor super, super easy, approachable, affordable.

00:35:37.000 You can buy it online, have it shipped directly to your house.

00:35:41.000 Plus, I know the people who run AR500 Armor, and these are people who really do share your values.

00:35:44.000 It's pretty fantastic.

00:35:45.000 Best of all, they've put together some packages specifically for listeners of The Daily Wire, so there's something for everyone at AR500Armor.com.

00:37:38.000 We would love to hear from you.

00:37:39.000 You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:37:42.000 So meanwhile, the Biden administration, they are making some of the right moves.

00:37:50.000 They are saying some of the right things.

00:37:51.000 So for example, the Biden administration, Joe Biden put out a statement today.

00:37:55.000 He said, the recent attacks on the Jewish community are despicable and they must stop.

00:37:58.000 I condemn this hateful behavior at home and abroad.

00:38:00.000 It's up to all of us to give hate no safe harbor.

00:38:03.000 So good for him. 0.98

00:38:04.000 That's an actual statement, as opposed to all the rest of these pathetic Democrats who are putting out statements about antisemitism and Islamophobia. 0.97

00:38:10.000 Again, it's a pretty incredible thing. 0.94

00:38:12.000 From the same people who are very concerned about the phrase, all lives matter.

00:38:17.000 When someone says Black Lives Matter and someone else says All Lives Matter, how dare you?

00:38:19.000 You're devaluing our movement!

00:38:21.000 The same people are like, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

00:38:24.000 Now, at least All Lives Matter was rejecting the basic contention that black people were being specifically singled out for harsh treatment by the police with regard to being murdered by the cops.

00:38:33.000 Yeah, that's a statistical reality.

00:38:35.000 But when it comes to anti-Semitism, there is a radical uptick in anti-Semitism and these same Democrats are like, yeah, and also Islamophobia, which is the same way they shied away from Ilhan Omar being a radical anti-Semite last year when they were like, we condemn anti-Semitism and also all these other forms of hatred and everything bad in the universe. 0.98

00:38:51.000 Baffling with bullcrap.

00:38:52.000 Anyway, the Biden administration saying the right things on anti-Semitism. 0.98

00:38:55.000 The Biden administration suggesting Israel had a right and a duty to protect itself last week.

00:38:59.000 So they did a lot better on this than I thought they were going to.

00:39:02.000 Meanwhile, however, they are indeed pursuing bad policy with regard to the Iranian regime.

00:39:06.000 So the Iranian regime is the state, it is the sponsor state of Hamas. 0.99

00:39:11.000 Hamas admits that they got all of their technology from Iran. 0.73

00:39:15.000 And Hamas acknowledges that Iran backed them.

00:39:19.000 And in fact, Iran cheered the attacks. 0.89

00:39:21.000 According to the New York Times, Tehran jumped at the chance to portray militants' barrages on Israel as revenge for Israeli attacks on Iran.

00:39:28.000 The leadership of Iran engaged in a long shadow war with Israel on land, air, and sea did not try to conceal the pleasure it took in the most recent Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 0.63

00:39:35.000 Tehran praised the damage being done to its enemy.

00:39:37.000 State news media and conservative commentators highlighted Iran's role in providing weaponry and military training to Palestinian militants in Gaza to hammer Israeli communities.

00:39:44.000 So Iran is making no bones about the fact that it supports Hamas. 0.64

00:39:48.000 Meanwhile, Hamas is acknowledging that they openly commit war crimes.

00:39:51.000 Here is Hamas' spokesperson on Sky News basically saying, yeah, sure, we commit war crimes.

00:39:56.000 Any people under occupation, based on the international law, have all the right to defend themselves by all feasible means they have.

00:40:04.000 Not by firing rockets from a civilian population?

00:40:07.000 I have said it clearly.

00:40:08.000 Palestinians, as unoccupied people, have the right to defend themselves by all feasible means, including armed resistance.

00:40:15.000 But when it comes to civilians, we have said it many times, we are ready to stop firing It's unbelievable. 0.98

00:40:27.000 So he's saying openly, right?

00:40:28.000 This is Bassem Naim, who's the Hamas spokesperson.

00:40:30.000 Remember, this is the government that people are supporting.

00:40:33.000 When you say, I support the Palestinians and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, you don't mean the Palestinian people unless you also want to get rid of Hamas. 0.90

00:40:39.000 But you don't want to get rid of Hamas. 0.82

00:40:41.000 So what am I left to conclude?

00:40:42.000 Okay, they're openly saying that they fire rockets from civilian areas at civilians.

00:40:47.000 They say that sort of stuff openly.

00:40:48.000 They're not hiding the ball here.

00:40:50.000 Meanwhile, even despite the ceasefire, Hamas supporters were attacking Jewish homes outside Jerusalem over the weekend.

00:40:57.000 There's video of it.

00:40:57.000 They were literally just firing ordnance down from Arab areas near Jerusalem into the Jewish areas of Jerusalem.

00:41:04.000 You can see it happening.

00:41:06.000 They're shooting fireworks at the Jewish areas in Jerusalem.

00:41:09.000 Unreal.

00:41:10.000 of the uh...

00:41:17.000 i hear the uh...

00:41:22.000 so where there's more equivalents You shoot randomly rockets at an ordinance at Jewish homes, right?

00:41:27.000 These are civilians.

00:41:28.000 They're not military targets.

00:41:29.000 Shouting allahu akbar.

00:41:30.000 That's exactly the same as the Israelis targeting military infrastructure.

00:41:35.000 In any case, how has the Biden administration responded to the fact that Hamas and Iran-backed terrorist group just committed a vast act of terrorism against America's ally Israel?

00:41:45.000 Blinken says we have to cut a deal with Iran.

00:41:47.000 Here is Tony Blinken, the Secretary of State.

00:41:50.000 Many of these actions are going forward now, and have gone forward over the last few years, under the so-called maximum pressure being exerted by the previous administration, and clearly did not get the result that we all seek, which is to curb all of these activities.

00:42:05.000 But the first thing that we need to do is put the nuclear problem back in the box.

00:42:09.000 That's why we're committed to trying to see if Iran will come back into compliance with the nuclear agreement, the so-called JCPOA.

00:42:15.000 That's what we're engaged in now.

00:42:16.000 The lie that the Biden administration is talking about here is they say, well, if we get them back in the nuclear box, we'll stop them from the terrorism.

00:42:21.000 Except that's not what they do, OK?

00:42:23.000 The JCPOA did not stop Iran from fomenting terrorism. 0.96

00:42:26.000 How do you think Hamas got all these rockets?

00:42:27.000 Hamas was having its stockpiles built up more rapidly before Trump pulled out of the JCPOA than after the JCPOA was ended.

00:42:35.000 And Hamas... 0.86

00:42:37.000 All these terrorist groups get support from Iran. 0.74

00:42:38.000 When Iran has more money, they spend the money on terrorism. 0.92

00:42:40.000 John Kerry admitted as much after cutting the Iran deal in the first place.

00:42:44.000 Well, Israel understands that it has to rely on itself in large measure here, which is why there was a giant blast at an Iranian complex housing their drone factory.

00:42:53.000 So Israel shot down an Iranian armed drone the other day.

00:42:57.000 And mysteriously, a complex that houses a factory that makes Iranian drones has now suffered a major explosion.

00:43:02.000 The blast over the weekend injured at least nine workers at the petrochemical factory in Isfahan.

00:43:08.000 The Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company, which produces a variety of aircraft and drones for Iranian and pro-Iranian forces, is located in the complex.

00:43:16.000 Iran has not provided information on the cause of the incident, but Israel, of course, has carried out significant strikes internal to Iran.

00:43:23.000 Meanwhile, speaking of the supposed non-radicalism of Palestinians on the Temple Mount, remember, according to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and everyone else lying about the situation in Israel, This is all kicked off by Israelis attacking Palestinians on the Temple Mount, which is insane.

00:43:36.000 Again, I've been up on the Temple Mount.

00:43:38.000 Jews have to be guarded by police forces as they are ushered through the holiest site in Judaism.

00:43:43.000 Meanwhile, Arabs have free reign on the Temple Mount because it is effectively run by the Islamic Waqf. 0.99

00:43:48.000 Al-Aqsa was being used as a staging ground for attacks on Jewish police officers.

00:43:52.000 So even after this, there's a vast video emerging, like after the ceasefire, of people attacking police officers on the Temple Mount.

00:43:59.000 In fact, videos on social media have shown Believe it or not, that members of the hundreds of Palestinians inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque were cheering.

00:44:12.000 They forced out the Jerusalem Grand Mufti.

00:44:14.000 The Jerusalem Grand Mufti is a guy named Mohammed Hussein.

00:44:16.000 He works for the Palestinian Authority.

00:44:19.000 And supporters inside Al-Aqsa forced him to leave while shouting, we are Mohammed Diaf's men.

00:44:25.000 Mohammed Diaf is the terror head of Hamas.

00:44:28.000 They're chanting this inside a mosque, a very peaceful and religious place.

00:44:32.000 I remember the last time inside a synagogue we started chanting for support of terrorism, but apparently this is common practice inside all Aqsa these days. 0.89

00:44:39.000 So they're chanting about how they are Muhammad Dayef's men.

00:44:49.000 Don't worry, everything is fine.

00:44:51.000 And you know what?

00:44:52.000 Moral equivalence, abduwazu, and also it's about antisemitism and also Islamophobia, Man, there are certain conflicts in ideology where things sort of crystallize.

00:45:03.000 And honestly, if you have a tough time with this one, I've got to question your moral bona fides.

00:45:07.000 If you have a real tough time questioning the difference between an Israeli government that attempts to minimize civilian casualties and a Hamas government that attempts to maximize them, between an Israeli population that is attempting to coexist with an internal Israeli-Arab population and treat those Israeli-Arabs as full citizens with full rights, And an Arab world that treats Jews not only as second-class citizens, but, I mean, Jews do not exist, effectively speaking, inside the Arab world?

00:45:33.000 Inside the Muslim world, more specifically? 0.99

00:45:35.000 If you are somebody who has a tough time just saying anti-Semitic attacks are bad, regardless of the source of the anti-Semitic attacks, I do have to question your ability to perform basic moral math.

00:45:46.000 And the Democratic Party increasingly cannot perform basic moral math.

00:45:49.000 Good for Joe Biden for at least doing some of it, but I fear that Joe Biden is not the wave of the Democratic Party future.

00:45:55.000 I was there in 2012 when Antonio Villaraigosa, who was heading up the Democratic National Convention, actively overrode a voice vote and allowed the Democratic National Committee platform to include the idea that Jerusalem was the capital of the Jewish state.

00:46:11.000 I was there when there was a voice vote on it, he lost the voice vote just to overrode them.

00:46:16.000 I remember this vividly.

00:46:18.000 And now you have 200 Democrats who voted in the House not to cut off funding to groups that fund Hamas.

00:46:25.000 So yeah, the future of the Democratic Party does look a lot more like the Squad, and like Jamal Bowman, and like AOC, and like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib in terms of their anti-Semitic attacks on the Jewish state, and by extension, a certain level of tacit support for anti-Semites in the United States.

00:46:42.000 And sometimes not so tacit.

00:46:43.000 I mean, AOC was meeting with Jeremy Corbyn.

00:46:47.000 People talk about they fear for the future of the Republican Party because of Trump and authoritarianism and all this.

00:46:52.000 The party that I fear right now is not the Republican Party, and it is not close.

00:46:56.000 When it comes to being a Jew in America, the party I fear is the party that has been poo-pooing, playing up. 0.70

00:47:02.000 And minimizing the impact of anti-Semitism in the United States.

00:47:06.000 That is a scary, scary thing as a Jew living in the United States who wears a yarmulke proudly and will continue to do so. 1.00

00:47:12.000 Alrighty, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.

00:47:14.000 In the meantime, go check out the Michael Moll's show where he discusses the story of Teen Vogue teaching young girls how to perform witchcraft with their bodily fluids.
