And what broke my heart, made me bummed, and I called my dad and talked to him about it for a while, is my intention in doing this is nothing but bringing people together.

It's nothing but spreading awareness from a perspective that I don't think a lot of people have.

And that perspective is somebody who has been to Israel multiple times, including two times since October 7th.

That perspective is someone who's Jewish, but it's also someone whose best friends are Iranian.

My two best friends growing up, Dhanush and Amir.

And I just actually was hanging out with Dhanush on my show in San Diego.

Shout out, buddy.

CJ Charles Jeweler.

I love it.

That's where he's been working since high school.

He's crushing it.

And I'm far from an expert in any of this, but I do happen to have a lot of unique experiences.

Happen to have been studying this even since Judaica studies as a kid.

And so when I see misinformation out there and I see blatant lies and propagandas that then smart people are believing because there's more of that than there is the truth.

I absolutely feel compelled to stand up.

And what breaks my heart is that there are a lot of people, especially in these comments in particular that I noticed where I'm like, some are bots, right?

But some didn't appear to be.

Some were like people that are probably otherwise caring and smart and great.

And they really believe that I'm wrong and I'm bad and I'm the evil one for doing this stuff to some degree.

And that's unfortunate.
