Something like 1.2% of Communist Party members in the Soviet Union were of Jewish background.
1.2%.
That's hardly enough to sway the other 98.8%.
Like, that's a very tiny, tiny fraction.
And the key into entering the Soviet Party in the USSR...
was that you have to abolish your own religion.
You have to absolve yourself from religious belief, because in communism, religion is illegal.
So the idea that this 1% of people were able to sway the entire population into a communist agenda is completely insane.
But the idea that was created now in the right wing, in the bifurcating sort of misinformation, is the Jews caused communism.
Well, if you look at the formation even of Israel in the region which was administered by Great Britain at the time,
It was the communists that did not side with Israel.
The communists sided with, well, at the time it was the Palestinian Arabs, not the Palestinians, because everybody in the Palestine region were the Palestinians, the Palestinian Arabs, right?
And so Yasser Arafat, who was the founder of the PLO, who ended up representing, let's say, the new identity of Palestinians, which is the Palestinian Arabs, which are now just the Palestinians.
So we've kind of, you know, the terms have changed.
He was the creation of the Soviet Union.
He was trained in Moscow, and his entire life biography was falsified.
It was said he was born in Jerusalem.
He was born in Egypt.
His daughter today is worth $6 billion.
What?
