I’ve not found that the openness to antisemitic messaging on the precise below the age of 45, that it’s a response nearly in any respect to supposed Israeli genocide or accusations of battle crimes in Gaza. These folks don’t —— They don’t, so far as I can inform, they don’t purchase the Gaza line. They do have openness to Jewish skepticism and to attainable antisemitism. Nevertheless it’s not about Gaza. See, to me, that’s a really pessimistic studying from my perspective, as a result of it appears to counsel the Gaza battle is hopefully a brief overseas coverage disaster that has yielded all types of considerations in regards to the U.S. relationship to Israel, all types of considerations about Israeli coverage. However these considerations may very well be time sure. You alter the overseas coverage dynamic, and antisemitism doesn’t go away, however it diminishes. If that’s not the case, then it appears to me that we’re speaking about extra one thing that’s basically rooted within the tradition of the web, possibly the tradition of elements of my very own faith. You’re suggesting that appears to me to be a darker narrative, a purpose to be extra pessimistic than you’ll be able to know. I’m sorry. I wasn’t, I used to be —— I do know you weren’t attempting to be optimistic. No, I used to be simply attempting to be factual. This super hurricane of a struggle that we’re seeing on the precise shouldn’t be about overseas coverage. When the difficulty was, Trump is about to begin World Conflict III as a result of the Jews are dragging him into battle with Iran; america goes to occupy Iran; 1000’s of persons are going to die — what occurred was that as an alternative of claiming, oh, the Trump group, they’re really fairly good at this. They really know what they’re doing. They’re not the outdated neocons. As a substitute of claiming that, they instantly switched to Epstein. Yeah, however so doesn’t that, however a part of that —— It simply obtained a lot worse. The anti-Jewish messaging over the summer time was a lot worse than earlier than the Iran assault, as a result of it went to Epstein, and after Epstein it went to Charlie Kirk, and did the Jews kill Charlie Kirk? There was all yr lengthy a nonstop anti-Jewish marketing campaign to differing levels in numerous podcasts. And that marketing campaign shouldn’t be about overseas coverage. International coverage is among the instruments in its arsenal.
