I I thought the lord was interesting as I love all of your episodes. And I am not a huge Trump supporter, but I guess I don’t really understand why an American Jew would vote for Kamala because Biden has been very wishy-washy with support for Israel. Kamala has zero experience with foreign affairs. And she’s already shown wishy-washy support for Israel.
We don’t know any of her policies. We really don’t know any of her plans. I don’t see why she’s less wildcard than Trump? He has a Jewish son-in-law that he shown much support for the four years who was president.
Keep bringing on interesting guests, and sharing your opinions. It gives me a lot of insight from San Francisco.
Listening from the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. You are welcome anytime, though I need a heads up to have kosher food for ChayaLeah because I’m super goy.
I thought your guest, Mr. Kaufman, had an interesting observation that the black experience of civil rights and achieving legal and social equality was very unlike the path sought by the Palestinians. The triumph of civil rights was peaceful protest, civil disobedience, but peaceful disobedience, where the violence came from authorities and angry racist mobs (which when televised turned the country in favor of the goals of MLK and his allies); the civil rights movement also built coalitions and multiethnic organizations. It certainly had a critique of middle America and white Americans who said the right things but were otherwise complacent, but the reaction was not to murder those people.
However, the memory of those times has been purposefully obscured and a different narrative, which elevates the Black Power movement, the violent leftist resistance movements, and terror groups, which were aligned with the PLO, as the “true heroes.” The people who espouse anti-racism now lionize the Black Panthers (who Michael Moynihan has identified as thuggish Marxist monsters who spent a lot of time murdering one another and rival group members like the one headed by Ron Karenga, founder of Kwanza and paranoid torturer of women), and other violent groups and activists. This is after the long march of the more radical common wisdom of the left through the institutions, where the histories of the Weather Underground, Panthers, and other Radical Chic groups is swept under the rug and otherwise remembered as people who were trying to do good things. And of course, they were in the same boat with the PLO, European radicals and Japanese Red Army.
This legacy seems to have imprinted over the fact that legal equality and social change was largely accomplished with the tools of non-violence and political coalition building, and the radical lie, which makes Palestinian and Black Power violence the cool sexy thing, and something that alleges that any perceived oppression is the same is what has been preached, by leftist activists, faculty, the NGO-industrial complex, and Islamists.
Persuading people otherwise is going to be difficult because if it’s not somebody else’s fault, people have to look at themselves and their own societies, and there’s a lot they don’t want to see.

Whoops, a typo in my comment. It was supposed to say I thought the episode was interesting.🥺
