Look, there have been governments in Israel covering the whole gamut of political orientations, and while, to your point, I think there is greater animus towards Israel today than maybe in the past, I've always known there to be Israeli animus in many places.
For example, at my own university,
well, which I will be leaving shortly, Concordia has been colloquially referred to as Gaza University for 25 plus years.
Benjamin Netanyahu in 2002 was not able to speak there.
They shut him down and they canceled him.
And this is when he was then a private citizen.
Why did they say they were shutting him down?
Well, because it's the Zionist entity and the same talking points, right?
You just change what is the culprit.
So now we say it's the devastating images of Gaza.
But 20 years ago, it would have been an other story.
No, you're absolutely right.
But now that, I think, comes from two sources.
The first source was when I told you earlier that the brainwashing that's going on American campuses where Jethro is now also wearing the keffiyeh.
But the demographic realities of the West in general, including the United States, are such that we've let in people from those societies at a much greater number than in the past, right?
Do you know Pew, P-E-W, right?
So they're a nonpartisan survey company that, if anything, tends to lean more towards progressive.
