One of the

Characters who played a very big role in spreading the anti-Semitism and the violence in Israel in the 1920s was a guy named Haj Amin al-Husseini, who was known as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

He was very close with Hitler and Mussolini, and he was working with them to try to get some claims to the Middle East once the Jewish people were annihilated.

And what he did for a very long time was he did the same shtick, only it was before you had smartphones and YouTube, where he would say, the mosque is under attack.

These imperialist Zionists are coming in to try to destroy the mosque.

Getting them in the name of religious rights to go and kill people, which really is more of a perversion of the religion than I think the true essence of what Islam is.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

But the people who use Islam or the mosque as a justification for violence, those are people who I think are really disrespecting the Islam religion.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

I learned very quickly that the difference between a political deal and a business deal is that in a business deal, you have a problem set, you come to a conclusion, and then if you buy or sell something, you either have more cash or you have a company, so more to do, less to do.

#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

Political problem set is very different, where the conclusion of a problem set is essentially the beginning of a new paradigm.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

You couldn't say, let me just solve the problem.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

You have to think about what happens the day after the signing and how do you create a paradigm that has positivity to it?

So the biggest piece of what President Trump did during his four years in office was he really strengthened the relationship with Israel, number one.

#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And he did things like recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

He moved the embassy to Jerusalem.
