There was no Smotrich.
There was no Ben-Gurion.
They were Israelis.
It doesn't matter who's in the Israeli cabinet.
There is a strong swell of feeling, which has been swelling and swelling and swelling in Britain and in the West, to defame and to cast Israel as uniquely, a uniquely demonic force in the world.
And that obtains as a view and has swelled as a view, regardless of who is the prime minister, regardless of who is in the cabinet, regardless of anything Israel is doing, if Israel tries to defend itself by killing the enemy, that's it, they're Nazis.
So, you know, don't tell me that it's because of Ben-Gavir and Smotrich.
Loathsome as they may be, it's irrelevant.
People in this country hate Israel because they have been taught lies, defamatory lies, which have poisoned the entire atmosphere and have basically made them lose their minds
over the state of Israel.
And that is a terribly serious situation, not just because of what it means in terms of policy towards Israel or attitudes towards Jews, but what it means about what's happened to the British mind.
To the British mind, that it can no longer distinguish between truth and lies, and that its sense of morality, its sense of conscience, has been linked to the extermination of a country for daring to defend itself.
That is a terrible thing.
I'm sure you would agree.
Oh my goodness.
You didn't tell me that was coming.
What's the one thing we should be talking about that we're not?
I can't remember your frick questions.
What's the one thing we should be talking about we're not talking about?
Yes.
