using violence now who was right and who was wrong because that is in fact what that particular ideology which whatever you call it that has taken over much of university life and we didn't really notice it we were sort of all taught it but we didn't really take it seriously and we didn't realize that it could have real life effects and i think october the 7th was

To call it a wake-up call is an understatement. The parallel is in those kind of... When you read about ethnic conflicts, you know in those ethnic conflicts, and you read about it, and you say, our families lived next door to each other for sort of 60 years, and then suddenly they came round and slit our throats. I mean, it is...

like a much more peaceful Western bland version of that, where people that we trusted, professors, journalists, charity workers, suddenly started celebrating, on October the 7th, the killing of civilians, the murder of grandmothers, the rape of girls, and the stealing of people as an act of war. And that was a terrible moment, and I think we all went through it, And it was astonishing.

And I was watching it because Twitter is so ghastly in many ways, but it's also so valuable and so unique in many ways. Because if you avoid all those horrible arguments and the trolls and the morons and the pub boars, You can actually find experts and also watch amazing historical events kind of live.

But that day, I remember sort of watching professors who were sort of at Harvard and Yale and Princeton suddenly saying, no, no, no, this is just a wonderful act of resistance. And that was terrifying, wasn't it?

Well, I think American Jews are such a unique... I mean, we're in a very interesting time in history in the Jewish nation because basically all Jews now live in Israel or in America. I mean, obviously there are big communities in France, but essentially those are the big populations. I mean, if you went back 125 years, it would be Russia and Poland where the biggest communities of Jews lived.

And that's just a fact in history. It started with the giant migrations. I mean, most history is made by migrations. I think that's an easier way of putting it. Migration is everything in history. When it's a lot of men riding on horses, we call it an invasion. It's an army. But when they take their families along, whether in carriages or on steamed ships, it's a migration.
