Yeah, yeah, exactly.

No, I mean, well, Israel is a little bit different because, like, at a certain point, there is an overwhelming force of people who are on board.

I get that.

So...

What I what I show always to people is that there's a difference between a lot of Jewish institutions and how Jews actually feel.

And I actually sometimes will make a plea to not only my Jewish fans, but just to whoever is listening.

And hopefully people will take away this message as well to try to separate.

Israel from their institutions and to show themselves as if you consider what Israel is doing to be repugnant, then stress that there is that distinction between a Jewish institution that you might be a part of and how much they celebrate Israel or how much they try to fundraise for the IDF, for example, or do settler fairs, which are illegal inside of synagogues, right?

Because

From my experience, there are a lot of Jewish advocacy organizations in this country and a lot of Jewish institutions in this country that simply masquerade as Jewish institutions and Jewish advocacy organizations when they're just pro-Israel advocacy organizations and institutions.

The ADL is a great example of this.

The Apartheid Defense League, as I like to call them, led by Jonathan Greenblatt.

is very obviously not invested in combating antisemitism at all and is simply using antisemitism in this cynical way to attack critics of Israel, prominent critics of Israel that have spent decades fighting antisemitism and still continue to do so, myself included.

And that separation, that lack of separation rather, is teaching Americans who have not been inundated with, you know, Zionist indoctrination, who haven't, you know, who don't have any association with Jews other than watching Seinfeld and thinking, oh, you know, they control the media, but they make good movies, right?

Like that's the attitude of the average American about Jewish people who are some, I think the most celebrated religious minority in this country, most celebrated religious group in this country,

I don't know where it is right now, but that's what the polling is consistently.

And the least is, I think, Mormons, weirdly enough.

But anyway, surprising.

But the way that people see it is they watch heinous violence unfold.

And they see the Israeli state call itself the Jewish state.
