Like when I was critical of Joe Biden...
That didn't make me anti-Catholic.
And when I'm critical of Benjamin Netanyahu, that doesn't make me anti-Semitic.
I don't understand.
You know what I don't understand?
Well, there isn't a sufficient monetization path there the way it is when the ADL and similarly aligned groups try to make the American people think that anti-Semitism is hiding behind every bush.
Well, when you're a witch hunter, you have to first convince people of the existence of witches.
And so I think that for the broad goals of the ADL, they have to make the country believe that we are somehow aligned against the Jewish faith and against those goals.
Well, there has to be a villain, and that's what white people have become in this really threat-constructed environment around identity.
And no one should take them seriously, because they are an advocacy group for a particular ethnic group, and that is fine.
Well, I think that in a lot of ways there are similarities when – like ethno-nationalism is the objective.
And obviously ethno-nationalism is the objective in Israel.
It's the organizing principle of the country.
That's fine.
That's not our country though.
But oftentimes people are pursuing the policies here in the United States that benefit Israel and our own interests and the interests of our people.
And the plight you described that so many young people have endured is not a priority.
I don't think it's just even white people.
I think it's also non-white people who see the attack on white culture not as an attack on like colonialism but as an attack on success and progress and order.
I know a lot of non-white people.
