It has F-22s, it has tanks with bombs and imprisons over 3,000 Palestinians without trial.

We would call those hostages, but of course our media doesn't.

And so that kind of chilling effect had tremendous impact in chilling opposition to the genocide when it really mattered in early 2024 and late 2023.

One silver lining, I will say, sorry to interrupt, is that Jonathan Greenblatt has become more overtly right-wing, especially with Trump in the White House.

So you remember when Elon Musk did the clear-his-day Sig Heil at the inauguration, he dismissed it as an enthusiastic gesture.

And Elon Musk, again, goes on Twitter almost on a monthly basis and goes on great replacement conspiracy theories.

That's a fundamentally anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, the great replacement.

And the ADL never criticizes him because, again, he broadly supports Israel and they're an Israel lobby posing as a civil rights group.

But go ahead.

I apologize.

I think it's Trumping style bluster because as many lawyers have pointed out to sue, you have to have discovery of fundamental claims.

The claim that Kristof is making has been well documented by a number of human rights groups.

This is not new information.

It's been reported on by Haaretz.

It's been reported on to some extent by the Washington Post.

You would have to discover the fundamental fact set, which I will reveal that these types of abuses are actually very, very common.

And so I don't it'll never get to that point.

It is it is an intimidation.

Again, these intimidations and these threats, whether it's targeting, you know, Hassan Piker or whether it's targeting Nicholas Kristof.

they're never really for the person they're targeting.
