But there's also a lot of stuff that Israel does or Israel advocacy groups do that objectively does look insane when you explain it.

Like one of the things that I've talked about or one of the things that I talked about early on was like, sometimes you hear something that Israel has done and you're like,

Did they did they do that?

Are you being anti-Semitic right now?

And then you find out you're like, oh, my God, they did do that.

That is insane.

So like there is that element of it, too, where on the one hand, a lot of defenders of Israel will call like anything that you say blood libel, like, oh, Israel kills children.

That's blood libel.

How dare you say that?

It's like, well, I've seen it.

Like, I've seen the children.

The numbers are there.

And I've also personally seen some of the children that have been murdered with these bombing campaigns.

Right.

So that already undermines the impact of blood libel as a as a way to have a conversation about blood libel to begin with, which is a real historic wrong, a real historic way to associate violence.

people of the Jewish faith with like, you know, whatever heinous acts that led to the pogroms, right?

So you're undermining antisemitism every time you do that, but then also simultaneously, you're teaching people that like,

This is a good thing.

Like this is something that you defend.

This is something you consider to be defensible.
