The speaker asserts that ten years of irresponsible liberal policies have weakened borders and divided people. They believe it's crucial to end this division and unite the people, ensuring everyone feels safe and puts foreign conflicts behind them upon arrival. Another speaker expresses disagreement, stating that people from around the world care deeply about where they come from and should have the freedom to do so. They criticize the treatment of Palestinians as disgusting and claim that what's happening in Gaza has become a genocide. They advocate for an immediate ceasefire, the return of something, and a two-state solution with a viable and free Palestinian state living in peace and security alongside Israel. They question the role of dictating domestic policy in the Middle East and suggest getting out. Another speaker emphasizes the need for consistency in working together.

Two speakers present political grievances. The transcript centers on funding to Israel, veterans’ welfare, and oath fidelity. Speaker 0: "Sending billions of dollars to Israel. Meanwhile, veterans are homeless and committing suicide. You heard that right. I am deemed a threat to national security because I don't support Israel's genocide." Speaker 1: "I swore an oath to the constitution. I didn't swear an oath to the president, to the congress. 20% skill. 15% concentrated power of will. 5% pleasure."

Speaker 0: Were I a Jew, I would be a Zionist. And my father pointed out to me, I did not need to be a Jew to be a Zionist, for I am. Israel is essential to security of Jews worldwide. Speaker 1: That this is not theoretical. This is not just about things that happen on Twitter. Antisemitism kills. Hate kills. Speaker 2: I come before you not only as The United States Secretary of State, but also as a Jew. My grandfather, Maurice Blinken, fled pogroms in Russia. My stepfather, Samuel Pizar, survived concentration camps, Auschwitz, Dachau, Maidanic. Speaker 3: We have a common agenda to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and preventing Iran's aggression, maintaining the security and prosperity of this region, and seeking to expand the circle of peace. Speaker 4: On October 7, Hamas terrorists murdered nearly 1,200 people, including over 40 Americans, and kidnapped hundreds of civilians. They perpetrated the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Speaker 5: Holocaust. Holocaust. My grandfather fled Nazi Germany. Fled Nazi Germany. If we wanna create peace in the Middle East, resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, we don't need boycotts. We need business. We don't need divestment. We need investment. We don't need sanctions. We need startups. We need startups. They met with several Israeli companies looking to expand into The United States. Speaker 1: Actual, literal, no shit, Jews will not replace us anti Semites as very fine people. Speaker 6: I support Israel's ability to defend itself. Speaker 7: It's about time we stop those of us who support as most of us do, Israel and this body for apologizing for our support for Israel. There's no apology to be made. None. It is the best $3,000,000,000 investment we make. $3,000,000,000 investment we make. Speaker 8: two of us were brought together by Apex Education Foundation for a mission to Israel. We hear the call of our Jewish brothers and sisters. Israel was this place I had always felt an, I don't know, unexplainable pull. Speaker 5: And the Jewish people have been the recipients of boycotts for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Speaker 6: So I just had a frank and constructive meeting with prime minister Netanyahu. I told him that I will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran backed militias such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Speaker 3: Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders. Speaker 9: Why does Israel need our help? We need to get out of their way. Speaker 6: I've said it many times, but it bears repeating. Israel has a right to defend itself. Speaker 2: The message that I bring to Israel is this. You may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself, but as long as America exists, you will never ever have to. We will always be there by your side. Speaker 1: He is a friend of the Jewish people by aligning not even with Israel, but with a certain kind of politics within Israel. And I just think that the American Jewish community are a lot smarter than that. Speaker 7: And even suggested breaking from the long standing US policies on settlements. Jerusalem. Jerusalem. Speaker 9: I was one of the few in congress that said it's none of our business, and Israel should take care of themselves. Speaker 8: Perhaps he does not know that I am the child of a holocaust survivor. Perhaps he does not know that my mother lost almost all her family at the hands of the Nazis. At the hands of the Nazis. Speaker 9: Israel has 200, 300 nuclear missiles, they can take care of themselves. Why should we commit? We don't even have a treaty with Israel. We don't even have a treaty with Israel. Speaker 7: Were there not an Israel, The United States Of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region. Speaker 9: Why why do we have this automatic commitment that we're gonna send our kids and send our money endlessly, to to Israel?

"What are you doing about the starving children in Gaza? What are you doing?" "Taking money from APAC, with respect. That's something that is infiltrated our our government." "APAC. APAC money. Watch congressman Jake Auchincloss discover in real time that his voters know he's bought and paid for by the Israeli lobby." "What are you doing to prevent the use of our taxes to starve and kill people in Gaza?" "Starvation is not is not what my tax dollars should go to." "Do you believe killing children and civilians in the name of strategic defense is ever justified? Yes or no?" "It's somewhat related question. I wanna make clear, I'm a lifetime Democrat, and I will probably continue to be. But I also feel that all three branches of our government are betraying the people of The United States right now."

Across college campuses, Yale and Columbia are being shut down and overrun by these anti Jew protesters, these pro Gaza protesters, these terrorist sympathizers. That's what they are. The Democrat party is being radio silent on this, why? Because these are their own supporters. In the case of Billie Anne Omar, her actual daughter out there standing in the picket line and protesting us. It's disgusting, and they should be calling it out. It's pretty easy to come on and say, hey. We're pro Israel. We're a pro Jewish people. We're pro America. It's that simple. But instead, the Democrats are supporting this anti Israel message being spouted by their supporters out there in Columbia and Yale, and they're they're supporting this death to America chant by letting this continue on. They've got to put a stop to this. On the other hand, Republicans are pro Israel. We're pro America, and we're pro protecting Jewish citizens not only in Israel, but across the world, even here in America. That is our stance. It couldn't be more clear, and their stance couldn't be more disgusting. They've gotta act fast, they need to speak out now.

The speaker criticizes the United States government, stating that the values of Zionism do not align with the values of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. They argue against providing military aid and claim that the country lacks democracy, being controlled by fascists. The speaker expresses frustration with politicians, including Joe Biden and booby Kennedy, and asserts that they are the only candidate who speaks out against Zionism. They advocate for a grassroots movement and encourage viewers to visit shiva for president.com to volunteer.

"Is all over the country, specifically Yale and Columbia. They're getting shut down and overrun by these anti Jew protesters, these pro Gaza protesters, these terrorist sympathizers." "The Democrat party is being radio silent on this." "in the case of Bill Hanna Omar, her actual daughter out there standing in the picket line and protesting us." "It's disgusting, they should be calling it out." "We're pro Israel. We're a pro Jewish people. We're pro America." "they're supporting this Death to America chant by letting this continue on." "Republicans are pro Israel. We're pro America, and we're pro protecting Jewish citizens not only in Israel, but across the world, even here in America."

I want to have you address the question that was shouted about the starving children in Gaza. "Israel has a right to defend itself." "It's genocide." "You believe in genocide?" "I am so disappointed." "I am so disappointed in how you represent us." "I don't think you you're the right fit for us anymore." "You just don't relate to most of the places anymore and you gotta know when to step down." "I think it's time." The speaker critiques the leadership and calls for stepping down. They express disappointment with how they are represented. They state that the person is no longer a good fit.

Speaker 0 argues that there are self-hating anti‑Zionist, anti‑Israel Jews in New York, including friends and family, who will vote for Mamdani, whom he calls a vicious anti‑Semite. He says Mamdani would never recognize Israel as a Jewish state or the nation state of the Jewish people, but recognizes Jordan, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia as Muslim states with hierarchies that exclude certain groups; for example, in Saudi Arabia you can’t become a citizen unless you convert, and in Qatar you can’t own a Christian or Jewish Bible. He asserts a double standard and calls that the core of antisemitism. He claims Zorn Mandami is a vicious antisemite and contends that if he is elected mayor of New York, antisemitism will spread to other democratic cities. After six years as a Democrat, he says he formally quit the Democratic Party and is now an anti‑Democrat who will work hard to see the defeat of the Democratic Party, which he describes as anti‑Israel, anti‑Zionist in many respects. Speaker 1 asks what he thinks about Jews and Israelis who voted for Mamdani and what they tell him when they ask why. Speaker 0 replies that there are Jewish rabbis and former rabbis who support Mamdani, calling them self‑hating Jews. He says some Jews have supported Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini, and that being Jewish does not make one immune to political folly. He contends these are people who are Jewish on their parents’ side, who have “never entered a synagogue, never been to Israel, know nothing about Judaism,” yet claim, “as a Jew, I support Hamas. I support Mamdani. I support terrorism. I support all that.” He asserts that because the Democratic Party has turned anti‑Israel, they must be fought, though he says it is hard to be opposed to the Democrats after six years as a Democrat; he cannot vote for a party that is anti‑Zionist, anti‑Israel, and anti‑Semitic, and that encourages leaders like Mamdani, and he suggests that news now will leave the Democratic party. Speaker 1 asks if, if Mamdani and professor Dostoevitz win in York, he would advise Jews in the city to leave. Speaker 0 answers: No. Fight back. He pledges to lead the fight against Mamdani, to bring him to court and to apply legal, political, economic, and other pressures to prevent his success in anti‑Zionism, anti‑Israel, and anti‑Semitic attitudes. He concludes: we must continue to fight him, but do not leave—stay and fight.

In this video, the speaker expresses frustration with the Democratic Party in Chicago. They believe that the party does not support them and suggests that it is time for Republicans to step up. The speaker states that they would rather deal with the Republican Party than the Democrats, as they feel betrayed by the latter. They also mention that they will not tolerate being ignored by their state representatives, congressmen, aldermen, and mayor. The speaker concludes by mentioning that during the Democratic convention in Chicago, many black voters chose Republican ballots, which they see as a significant statement.

The speaker questions the understanding of those who chant "free Palestine," explaining that it actually means the end of Israel's existence. They argue that Israel is the only Jewish state and that Jews and Arabs live there peacefully. They express concern about what would happen if Hamas took control of Israel and criticize the support for Hamas despite their oppressive actions. The speaker also highlights the assistance Israel provides to Gaza and questions why Hamas does not provide basic necessities. They argue that supporting Israel is the path to peace. Another speaker shares their experiences in Israel, including the security measures and restrictions faced by Israelis. They express doubt in the two-state solution and believe that Israeli control is necessary for the region's stability. Another speaker discusses the aid provided to Palestine by the US and challenges the notion that all aid goes to Israel. They highlight the significant amount of assistance given to Palestine and the recent announcement of additional humanitarian aid.

Speaker 0 states they 100% support Hamas for not accepting the ceasefire, because they do not want a situation where they can be bombarded again in the future. Speaker 2 says that innocent people are being killed and no one is taking their side, and that they are ashamed to be Canadian and to be in Canada. Speaker 1 says that Canada affords people the privilege of peaceful protest without fear of attack, where they can wear and say what they want, and suggests that if Speaker 2 is ashamed to be Canadian, they should leave. Speaker 1 calls this the side of the peace movement that other networks won't show.

In this video, the speakers discuss the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. They criticize the Israel lobby's efforts to label anti-war students as terror supporters and the use of accusations of anti-Semitism to target activists. They highlight the importance of activism and disruptions, such as blocking weapons shipments destined for Israel, and the growing resistance against Israeli aggression. They also criticize mainstream media's biased coverage and the Democratic Party's alignment with pro-Israel sentiments. The speakers express hope in the global movement for justice and equality for Palestinians and condemn the violence and atrocities committed by Israel.

The transcript portrays a chaotic confrontation during a congressional hearing on U.S. involvement in a war tied to Israel and Iran. The speakers push a stance that America does not want to fight this war for Israel, repeatedly asserting that “America does not wanna fight this war for Israel” and “America does not wanna fight this war in Iran, and the soldiers don't. Right?” They claim there is a war in Iran and that “our military brothers and sisters are going to die for Israel,” insisting that they do not want to die for Israel and urging to “Stop the war in Iran right now.” Throughout, Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 heckle the officials, describing the officials as robots and criticizing their focus, with expressions like “Look at you guys. You're robots. A US senator. You won't even look back” and “What is happening right now? I front robots. Shame.” They demand that those at the hearing “please cooperate with us” and “go behind the line,” while noting that the audience should be cleared and the hallways opened. A Marine veteran interrupts the hearing, drawing attention to the dissent. The veteran, identified later as Brian McGinnis, is described as interrupting the hearing because “there is a war in Iran, and our military brothers and sisters are going to die for Israel, and we are here to say no. We do not support Israel. We do not wanna die for Israel. Stop the war in Iran right now.” The confrontation becomes physical: “they pulled him out, got his arm trapped in a door, broke his arm, like, tackled him to the ground.” He is reported to have suffered a broken left arm, and there is an impassioned plea for medical attention as others note, “What did they do to him?” and “He broke his arm.” Witnesses describe the scene as “very intense” and express anger toward those at the hearing, calling them “cowards” for not facing the interruption. There is a recurring theme of opposition to intervention: “Palestine will be free,” referenced in the chant “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. Palestine will be free.” The speakers repeatedly reiterate that they do not want to fight for Israel and that they oppose both the war in Iran and the broader U.S. commitment to military action in the region. The exchange ends with a insistence to move people aside to allow passage and to maintain order, while the speakers emphasize their demand that the United States should not engage in the war in Iran or fight for Israel.

Israel encouraged and started Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat. The speaker claims this served Israel's purpose at the time. The U.S. imposes its system on the world, such as invading Iraq to teach people how to be Democrats. The U.S. encouraged Palestinians to have a free election, and they elected Hamas. The speaker asserts the U.S. indirectly and directly, through Israel, helped establish Hamas. After Hamas became dominant through the election, the U.S. then had to kill them. The speaker concludes this does not make sense.

In this video, the speaker expresses frustration with the Democratic Party in Chicago and encourages Republicans to seize the opportunity. They believe that the Democratic Party is not supporting them and that both parties are essentially the same. The speaker prefers dealing with the Republican Party over the Democrats. They assert that they will no longer tolerate being ignored by their state representatives, congressmen, aldermen, and mayor. The speaker also mentions that during the Democratic convention in Chicago, it was discovered that many black voters chose Republican ballots.

Google, Palantir, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, X, Oracle, Amazon, what do all these companies have in common? Well, they're making a bag off the Palestinian genocide. These four companies, Google, Oracle, Amazon, and Microsoft run data centers for the Israeli military, storing the massive amount of surveillance data they track Palestinians. It's the infrastructure for the genocide. They feed that data, store it in these data centers, providing the compute for Palantir's AI killing systems, their algorithms that they've entered into a massive warfare deal with Israel for. It's allowed the systematic destruction of Palestinian civilization in Gaza. That's Palantir. They've netted hundreds of billions since entering this deal. They provide the means. Who provides the weapons? Well, of course, everyone knows this answer. It's The United States taxpayer. It's our war company. So add them in there too. On top of this, you have Google, X, and Meta all taking money from Israel, all taking money from Netanyahu's propaganda arm to push propaganda to Americans, denying the genocide, denying war crimes, denying masturbation in Gaza. Most recently, drop site news exposed Google and X, Google taking 45 mil, X taking 2 mil, from Netanyahu's office to deny masturbation in Gaza. This started just days after Israel began cutting off all aid to the Gaza Strip for over eighty straight days. This is complicity at the top level. I didn't forget about Apple. Of course, they run their largest R and D center in Israel, complicit in apartheid and occupation. They also match employee donations to the IDF and groups linked to the IDF. They're funding war criminals. Let's take let's take our attention away from Israel and look back home. Every single one of these companies are run by Zionists. Every single one of them. They've all donated to Trump because if they get in his good graces, Trump will let them do whatever they want. Trump loves letting billionaires do whatever they want. In fact, that's why only five companies control 90% of The US media market. It's true. That doesn't include social media, but we'll get to that in a second. Five companies, none of The US outlets are willing to call it a genocide or call out Israel's crimes. That's because their editorial boards are controlled by Zionists. This is not some conspiracy theory. It's factual. You cannot go to CNN, let alone any conservative site. But CNN, Reuters, Washington Post, New York Times, none of them none of them are calling it genocide. They're all covering up. They're all playing the propaganda game for Israel. Now let's turn our attention to the social media because that's not included in the 90%. We have the top three, the big three, Meta, X, and TikTok. And TikTok's an interesting case. But first of all, Meta blacklist pro Palestinian activist. I'm blacklisted on Meta for my free speech criticizing Israel. They've also hired hundreds of ex IDF soldiers from the intelligence unit, unit a two hundred, to run their moderation team. That's why this is all happening. They put Zionists in charge of their free speech policy. That's similar to what TikTok has done. They got lobbied by the ADL. They were pressured by the US government, surely, by this bipartisan bill to ban TikTok because of hosting anti Israel content like mine and many people, to hire an ex IDF soldier and put her, Erica Mendel, in charge of their hate speech policy, which she changed, and those changes went into effect on September 13. Since then, every single one of my videos criticizing Israel, making connections, talking about how literally, everything I'm talking about in this video, that's what has been getting pulled off the For You page or just getting banned out right now. The censorship is super ramped up, they're trying to sell TikTok US to Larry Ellison, who is the CEO of Oracle, the one who runs the data centers. You know, Larry Ellison once offered Netanyahu a seat on the board of Oracle. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. They're buds. They're like that. He's gonna con he's a Zionist, magabillionaire. Right? Whatever. And he's going to censor everyone once he owns it. So we got two things for TikTok. Met we covered MetaX. Elon Musk, he banned his own chatbot, Grok, when it started telling people there was genocide in Gaza. He's disgusting, and, you know, obviously, he took the money from Israel to run propaganda ads. So that's just great. That covers about everything. Welcome to The United States Of Israel, guys. Welcome to The United States Of Israel. We haven't even touched we haven't even touched on what our government has done under Biden. They arrested 3,200 student activists and professors who protested the genocide peacefully on college campuses, calling on their schools to divest their massive endowment funds worth billions from all these complicit companies I'm telling you about right now. But the schools wouldn't do it. They wouldn't do the right thing and stand with humanity. And, you know, there's a lot you can talk about under Biden. He, conducted most of this genocide, oversaw the destruction of every single one of Gaza's hospitals, amongst other things, while lying about a ceasefire even though he never pressured Israel for a ceasefire once. Now Trump, you know, he ramps it up even more, and they're talking about taking away US citizens' passports if you criticize the state of Israel. They are deporting student activists like Mahmoud Khalil, who, you know, is pro Palestinian. He stands in solidarity with them. They're pulling funding from schools that allow allow anti Israel or pro Palestinian protests that are peaceful. They're pulling funding. Both parties were involved in passing that bill to ban TikTok, which has led us to where we are now with Larry Ellison. So, you know, we can we can blame both parties for that. Let's look at the parties a little more closely, though, and who funds them. APAC. APAC spent over 100,000,000. They're just one part of the massive prosely lobby. They spent 100,000,000 and elected into power a super majority of Zionists into congress. They supported a super majority of Zionists in 2024 and got them elected. Almost every single one except like two, I believe. That's why no one in government is gonna say no to giving Israel as many weapons as they ask for. That's why they're gonna do everything they want to to suppress criticism of Israel, do all these things that I just described, enable these companies to make a bag off the Palestinian genocide? Why do only 20 of our 435 congress members say it's genocide when half of American voters are saying it's genocide? And just look at the Democrat party, what is it? 77% of their base says it's genocide? 92% of their base wants to stop sending weapons to Israel? And yet they can't even they can't even criticize Israel. The party won't stop weapons to Israel. They won't even vote on that policy on their platform. This is a pretty good picture, like, the wide view of what is happening. You have all the billionaires aligned with Israel, whether they be Christian or Jewish Zionist. You have every single big tech company supporting Israel in some way, fueling the systems they are using to commit genocide, taking money for propaganda. You have all our media institutions doing the same thing and running cover for them. And you have all of our politicians as well. This isn't some conspiracy theory. This is real life. You have to admit that there might be there might be a problem when you have four and a half percent of congress saying genocide while 50 plus percent of American voters are saying it's genocide. What's going on? We've lost our sovereignty. It's not a joke. It's not hyperbole. We go to war against Iran on Israel's behalf. We change our laws prevent criticism of Israel. We're trying to ban boycotting Israel to throw American citizens in jail. The DOJ has been given the power to denaturalize anyone they see fit and explicitly those who are critical of the state of Israel. This is this is great. Trump also threatened to not do a deal with Canada because they're recognizing Palestine. We're sanctioning the international courts. We're threatening to pull out of the UN if they kick Israel out. Both of us on the left and right need to unite and rid Zionist influence out of America. This is insane. They don't care about what we think. They don't care about our interests or our human morals or the fact it's our tax dollars funding all of this. Every single one of these genocide profiteers must be held accountable. Our politicians, the companies, and the billionaires. You can support my work by clicking the link in my bio, which will let you subscribe to my Substack. Thank you and free Palestine.

Israel encouraged and started Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat. The speaker claims this served Israel's purpose at the time. The U.S. imposes its system on the world, such as invading Iraq to teach people how to be Democrats. The U.S. encouraged Palestinians to have a free election, and they elected Hamas. The speaker claims the U.S. indirectly and directly through Israel helped establish Hamas. Because Hamas became dominant after the election, the U.S. then had to kill them. The speaker concludes that this does not make sense.

The speaker asks where Palestinians should seek accountability for their grievances. The second speaker states the U.S. will always stand up for human rights, and that is why the U.S. continues to endorse a two-state solution. They claim a two-state solution protects Israel’s identity as a Jewish and democratic state, and it will give the Palestinians a viable state of their own and fulfill their legitimate aspirations for dignity and self-determination. The first speaker repeats the question: where do they go?

Speaker 0: "I'm very pro Israel" and "defensive of their right to defend themselves," but "I have absolutely no skin whatsoever in defending any lobbyist group, including AIPAC" and asks, "what they do to get the loyalty of politicians." She refuses outreach to visit Israel, wanting to "cover this conflict from here" and insisting she is not "on Hamas" side. Speaker 1: "'APAC is not registered under FARA' and explains lobbying tactics: taking freshmen on 'a very special trip to Israel,' inviting 'influencers,' and that Israel receives '3.8 billion dollars in funding for Israel.' He notes 'Israel is the only democracy in The Middle East' and says Israel can 'use that money to buy from Israeli defense contractors' instead of American ones. He cites Judge McFadden on flag-burning and says, 'We don't have time to fund what you're doing.' Ad: 'text m k to the number 989898.'

The discussion centers on how politicization of intelligence has manifested in different eras, comparing past and present administrations. Speaker 0 asks whether the politicized weapons claims about Iraq and the CIA’s statements in the 1990s can be compared to today’s politicization of intelligence under John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard as head of DNI, arguing it is much worse now because of the mediocrity of those in control of key agencies. Speaker 1 counters by recalling the 1980s, noting that there was significant politicization of the Soviet threat to justify Reagan’s defense buildup, and adds that this is why he testified against Robert Gates in 1991. He asserts that politicization is bad, and insists that the current situation is worse than in the past. Speaker 1 explains: “It’s Because I look at the people who are ahead of these groups. Come on. Let’s be serious.” He targets the leadership of the director of national intelligence, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the CIA, saying, “Have you ever seen a cabinet in The United States of such mediocrity, of such venality?” He emphasizes his background, stating, “I haven’t,” and that nothing compares to what is going on now, warning that “a lot of damage is being done to The United States and to the constitution of The United States and to the importance of separation of powers and the importance of rule of law and the importance of checks and balances. This is very serious stuff.” Speaker 0 attempts to steer toward historical figures like Robert Maxwell, but Speaker 1 dismisses that concern as off point, insisting he is making a point about Israel. The exchange then shifts to U.S. support for Israel, with Speaker 1 asserting that “Israel gets what it wants from The United States. It gets it from democratic presidents and from republican presidents.” He also criticizes Barack Obama for signing what he calls “that ten year $40,000,000,000 arms aid agreement,” arguing that Obama “never should have signed” it “because they treated Obama so shabbily in the first place.”

According to John Fetterman himself, his Zionism puts him out of step with the rest of his party, which—“I'm sorry, only 13% stand with Israelis against the Palestinians.” The speaker argues that this is a party whose grassroots are currently captured by the left, and therefore Zionism does not have a future in the American left. The Democratic Party’s relationship with Zionism, the speaker says, depends on whether it is willing to repudiate that far left. The speaker emphasizes how appalling this is by noting that Jews built the left in this country and built the labor movement; “We broke the New Deal.” The speaker asserts that “70% of the lawyers who worked on civil rights cases were Jews” and that Jews have been at the forefront of every liberal and leftist issue in the country. The speaker condemns the idea of telling Jews they are not welcome, calling it a form of “absurdity” and drawing a vivid analogy: when bars banned smoking and the speaker, a former smoker, felt outraged and imagined a turf war where smokers would have to concede to the bars. The point is to illustrate how easily one can imagine a counterfactual in which the left in America reasons that opposing Zionism would cost them their beloved Jews who had stood with them at the forefront of the movement. The speaker asserts that this is not what happened; the left did not oppose Zionism to keep Jewish support. Instead, they did the opposite. The core claim is that Zionism is being pushed to the margins within the American left because the left’s grassroots have shifted leftward, and this shift is incompatible with Zionist alignment as presented by the speaker. The speaker argues that the left’s relationship with Zionism hinges on whether the left will repudiate its far-left tendencies, and he maintains that the left did not repudiate Zionism or push Jews away; they, in effect, embraced a stance that makes Zionism increasingly unwelcome within the party. The overarching message is that Jews have played a central, formative role in the left, and to claim otherwise or to bar Zionists from participation would be a betrayal of that historical involvement.
