1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440
there's literally nothing that israel won't do in the name of vengeance and in the name of

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:12,320
continuing zionism for some people the takeaway is as long as they're not literally putting people

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,360
in ovens as long as they're not doing exactly what the nazis did that somehow that's okay

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,320
it's actually not okay never again doesn't mean never again in the exact same way that

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,800
the nazis did it if that's your takeaway from the holocaust you really need to look at yourself and

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,800
do some soul searching i'm jewish i lost members of my family during the holocaust and the truth is

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:39,200
israel does not represent me israel does not make me safer in fact it puts me and all jews in greater

8
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,320
danger because as israel commits these crimes against humanity and live streams them and in

9
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,360
some cases gleefully live streams them we've seen soldiers doing this israel doing that and saying

10
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,560
it's in the name of jews that will create anti-semitism the idea that israel represents

11
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,560
all jews is in itself an anti-semitic idea the dual loyalty trope says that all jews are a monolith

12
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,520
and we're all loyal to israel and we can't be trusted to be loyal to other governments regardless

13
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:11,120
of where we live that is really what israel is leaning into and you have anti-semites and then

14
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:17,200
the government of israel apac and the adl all making the same argument which i think really shows

15
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:25,120
you the dangers and the inherent anti-semitism of zionism people like to claim that anti-zionism is

16
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,720
anti-semitic well it's actually not given that you literally have more christian zionists in the world

17
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,520
than you have jewish zionists this particular christian form of zionism wants jews to go back

18
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:43,280
to israel so we can provoke the end times armageddon all jews except a very lucky 400 who accept christ as

19
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,960
their lord and savior burned for all of eternity so these are the allies all these cancel culture

20
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,320
warriors who talk about right-wingers being canceled are very silent interestingly enough when it comes

21
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,400
to critics of israel who are probably the most canceled people of all if you're a palestinian

22
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,680
critic of israel you're very very very canceled if you're a jewish critic of israel you're less

23
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,320
canceled but you're still canceled you're just canceled as a self-loathing jew as opposed to an anti-semite

24
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:14,240
which is a significant difference i mean i was fired by a network for saying that israel is an

25
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,200
apartheid state so my being jewish didn't really protect me and of course there's a huge bias in

26
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,480
the way that corporate media reports on israel palestine they're very clear when russia does

27
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,600
something russia bombs russia strikes russia kills when it's israel it's often palestinians killed in

28
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:38,720
attack palestinians dead after bombing we even know that networks and outlets instruct their

29
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,560
writers and reporters not to use certain words like genocide not even to use the word palestine

30
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,400
in fact the reporting by the new york times on the alleged mass rape used by hamas was so bad

31
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,840
that they had to cancel a podcast that they were going to do about it because there was so little to

32
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,760
back it up now on the other hand you have countless stories and allegations of israelis

33
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:07,920
raping palestinians that got totally ignored it's really fascinating that we hear time and time again

34
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,400
about the 40 beheaded israeli babies even though there was no evidence of that and we do have evidence

35
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,400
of actually beheaded babies children with their heads blown off i mean we saw a child literally

36
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,280
shredded various representatives of the israeli government are never asked about that

37
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,400
they're never asked to condemn israel's violence they're never asked to condemn israel's terrorism

38
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,760
there was a doctor who was tortured to death if you don't already feel disturbed by the images of

39
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,440
palestinians or the stories of palestinians the story of hin rajab who was left in a car to die

40
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,480
when she was begging for help and israeli soldiers shot up the car and shot up the ambulance trying to

41
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,480
rescue this girl if that doesn't haunt you i really urge you to imagine this happening

42
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,880
to a jewish child during the holocaust i think that jews should understand this if anything more

43
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:06,880
than other people because of our history of being targeted of being otherized of being compared to

44
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,880
vermin of attempted extermination of genocide and ethnic cleansing and of the world looking

45
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,680
the other way that is something that we have to remember that happened to us we can't let that

46
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,800
happen to other people that's not justice that's not how we honor those killed in the holocaust

47
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,080
everything that israel tells you about its founding about its history and about its role today is

48
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,000
a lie some people think oh israel was founded for holocaust survivors and then it got greedy and took

49
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,880
over too much land and and ruined its founding mission which was to be a safe haven for jews

50
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,400
the truth is it was founded on ethnic cleansing it was not a utopia i think it's really eye-opening

51
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,880
to look at the actual language of early zionists because they were calling their banks colonial

52
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:57,200
trust they were talking about how natives always resist colonists in other words it's not just

53
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,880
critics of zionism who described zionism as colonial it was the zionists themselves israeli society

54
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,280
really had a lot of disdain for holocaust survivors so they did something very disgusting they both

55
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:15,280
weaponized the holocaust to justify their extermination of palestinians and they mistreated holocaust

56
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:21,360
survivors in fact they even referred to them as sapon which means soap in hebrew and that was because

57
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,920
there was a myth that nazis turned jewish bodies into soap it's not true but that was a myth and the

58
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,120
important thing is that people thought that was true and they thought it would be appropriate to

59
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:37,760
call survivors by that name israel wanted to create a new jew that was armed that was working the land

60
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:43,200
they were ashamed of the jews who were killed they thought that they went to their slaughter like sheep

61
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:50,720
they were ashamed of jews who were religious jews who were scholars jews who were also cosmopolitan

62
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,080
they really did ironically internalize a lot of anti-semitism there were zionist bombings in the

63
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:03,920
middle east that were used to scare people into emigrating out of iraq out of morocco and into israel

64
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,880
that's how little they cared about jewish people they bombed synagogues in order to get people to leave

65
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,640
the middle east and go to israel where they would be mistreated which is what happened

66
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,560
to mizrahi jews some were basically put into camps they rejected yiddish which was spoken by eastern

67
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,320
european and diasporic jews and they also rejected arabic which was spoken by mizrahi jews of the

68
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,600
middle east yiddish is an amazing language and it's dying out and the reason it's dying out is because

69
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:36,800
israel chose to create modern hebrew which no one spoke and they had a lot of disdain for a lot of

70
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:43,440
jewish culture so israel has always been a racist project in many ways against palestinians but even

71
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,440
against jews themselves and it's been an anti-semitic project as well not only is judaism obviously much

72
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,080
older than zionism but there was christian zionism from the very beginning and that was fueled by

73
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,040
anti-semitism and the desire to get jews out of europe lord balfour of the balfour declaration was a major

74
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:07,840
anti-semite zionism actually requires anti-semitism to justify its existence so for zionists they don't

75
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:14,080
want to defeat anti-semitism they want to use it to strengthen the state of israel it's also true to

76
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:21,280
remember that this is not a conflict about religion or culture jews and christians and muslims lived in

77
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:29,760
peace in harmony in many areas of the middle east for centuries this is about power this is about land

78
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,880
this goes back to resources this goes back to the west wanting to have a foothold in the middle east

79
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:41,840
this is not about religion jewish anti-zionism has existed since zionism a lot of jews opposed

80
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:49,440
zionism because they i would say rightly predicted it would create anti-semitism there is a very rich

81
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:56,080
radical history of jewish internationalism during the spanish civil war which many people see as the

82
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,600
dry run for world war ii among all the international brigades so all the volunteers who left their

83
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,760
countries to fight in a war against fascism the most common language spoken was yiddish which speaks to

84
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,200
this tradition if we look at so many struggles like the civil rights movement in the united states

85
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,400
there were lots of jews involved in that jewish people were overrepresented in that movement if you

86
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:24,400
look at south africa some of the most active anti-apartheid activists were jewish that's the tradition

87
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:31,280
that i'm proud to be part of not a tradition which weaponizes trauma tragedy and the holocaust to kill

88
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:38,240
more people israel is unsustainable there's no coming back from this something new needs to be

89
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:45,840
created jews can live side by side with muslims and christians in palestine just as they have for

90
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:52,800
centuries if coexistence is so impossible and if anti-semitism is so impossible to fight against

91
00:08:52,800 --> 00:09:00,000
how is it that jews live in germany today germany was where anti-semitism turned into the holocaust and

92
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,360
yet somehow jews are able to live in germany in safety but we're supposed to believe that they

93
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,800
can't live in palestine in safety palestine is not the country that created adolf hitler palestine is not

94
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:18,000
the country that created the holocaust the biggest threat to jewish safety is not a free palestine it's

95
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:24,320
zionism it's essential to challenge the lies and propaganda of mainstream media you won't see

96
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,120
videos like these in the mainstream media which is why it's so important to support the work of

97
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:43,120
double down news on patreon and if i do say so myself the katie halper show
