Jeremy Scahill

Like, yeah, that's bad and it's not good for our country.

And so I just thought it was pretty funny to watch that back.

I was like, he's stepping into a rake kind of moment, but.

That's interesting that there's still that mainstream bubble.

I think it was Crystal was making the point yesterday too on Jonathan Greenblatt because he was on with Jake Tapper.

It seems like he's getting the cold shoulder now from Morning Joe because they seem like they don't really take him that seriously anymore after that last disastrous interview.

But it's just interesting to see like

The conversation was basically about how if the mission of the ADL on paper is to stop antisemitism, which I don't think that's actually Jonathan Greenblatt's job, but if that was his job to stop the rise of antisemitism, well, he's failing on that, right?

Now, if his other job is to defend Israel and to make sure that the American people stand with Israel, which I think is closer to his real job, he's also failing on that.

But then if his third job is

which may actually be what he's attempting to do right now, is just to try to intimidate sort of the remaining pillars that do stand with Israel institutionally in the media or institutionally in the government and to make them afraid of touching certain wires and using certain talking points or saying anything that, you know, goes against IDF printed statements or

If that's his job, he's still succeeding in some ways because you still see the mainstream media is, you know, we'll run Israeli talking points.

We'll have on, you know, IDF commanders and not challenge them in any meaningful capacity.

You know, Congress overwhelmingly still with Israel.

Like there's this massive, massive disconnect that's going on here between the establishment and the people.

And that as an issue, I think, has exposed it more than almost anything else in recent recent years.

Yeah, it's all good.

Yeah, it was a Tapper.

I think he did challenge him a little bit or just ask some basic follow up questions like, do you count criticizing Israel as anti-Semitism?

And he sort of danced around.
