What's dangerous, Don, just a very important point, what's dangerous is you have people like Elon Levy, the former spokesman for the Israeli government, on social media suggesting that anyone who's opposed to Israel or is anti-Zionist or wants to, you know, reconstruct Israel as a binational, secular nation,
state for all Palestinians, the one state democratic solution.
Anyone who advocates that, and you can disagree with this stuff, everyone's free to their own opinions, but he said anyone who advocates that is anti-Jewish.
And that's a very dangerous road to go down because I've spent my life telling people in my communities, on the left, in Muslim circles, don't conflate Israel with Jews.
Jewish people are not responsible for Israel.
Israel is a nation state.
It has its own government.
Don't conflate the two.
That's what Jewish friends of mine told me growing up.

Am I anti-India?
That's what some people call me, but I'm clearly not.
I love India.
It's a great question, Don.
