I'm confused about it, actually. What do you think?

Yeah, I mean, I don't think we're dealing with Nazis here.

No, these people wouldn't know fascism if it stood right in front of them. So we don't have to listen to them. To be more sort of precise about it, I think it was a huge mistake of the Democratic Party to use the fascist word during the election. And I think they themselves would agree with that now.

I think that's right. I remember at Hay-on-Wye Festival in England once, I was doing a conversation with Simon Sharma, who's a friend of mine. So for joke, we just called it Two Jews. And we got a massive number of complaints from people accusing the festival of anti-Semitism at the time. But those were happy times when that was the biggest problem. But I think that's right.

I think we've vastly overused anti-Semitism I think the Israeli government has vastly undermined... Actually, this is a slight side issue, because there is real anti-Semitism, but I think the Israeli government, by accusing everybody of anti-Semitism whenever they criticise Israel, has done us a huge disservice, actually. And I think...

When the Israeli ambassador, after October 7th, put on the yellow Star of David, the yellow badges on his thing, and wore it, it was such a clumsy... I think Netanyahu and the present government in Israel have grossly, grossly overused it to the extent that it's become meaningless. So I think, I'm afraid, our own side has made colossal errors in this. But language is hugely important. And...

the strange phenomenon of omni-anti-racist. Everybody says they're anti-racist, but we hate Israel. I think the sort of homogenization and romanticization and universalization of the Holocaust is a tragedy of history and of morality because I think as Jews, we wanted to include other people in this story. And by the way- Why?

Well, this brings us back to what you were saying about Jews in America, because everything's about America. America's the center of the world and the center of world culture.
