Thank you so much for your insightful comment @Renewable Lethargy. I think you’re right in that most people marching have no idea what’s going on. Western self-hatred is one hell of a drug.

On one hand I understand looking around at our decaying West and think there is nothing good about it. But it’s the rejection of all the good things that has got us here— on the part of our corrupt leaders, who want to drag us into post-modern hell— and a nihilistic segment of the population who want to tear everything down with no thought about what that means for our future.

Read Thomas Sowell’s “Black Rednecks, White Liberals”. He may have cracked the code on hatred of the Jews (and other similar minorities).

What an outstanding discussion. I am here in the UK , watching the whole reaction to the situation in the Middle East play out in the forms of huge street marches every weekend calling for an end to the bombing etc, and at the same time the media absolutely united (apart from the BBC) in condemning this as a cloak for rampant anti-semitism. Now, it seems to me that a lot of ordinary Brits (who don't have any particular interest in the history of Israel, Palestine and historical claims to rights of settlement and all the rest) just want the campaign in Gaza to end and can't see why a solution isn't achievable. And I would have to say that I am reasonably sure that very few of these demonstrators would in any way endorse what happened on October 7th. That is important here. So they suspect other agendas in play involving the USA and UK governments notably. Consequently it is almost impossible to question what is going on without being called anti-semitic. I think your guest is right when he mentions a resentment of Jews by some people just because they are clearly a smart and resourceful group of people - whether you call them a race or religion or culture. The thing is that if I said this as a Christian in polite society, I would almost certainly be called an anti-semite, using stereotypes etc, which is ludicrous of course. It's generally true that other ethnic or racial groups are smart and resourceful and successful and it should be allowed to observe that truism. But the so-called left wouldn't stand for that of course. Which is where EDI and the rest of the socialist ideology comes in. Just a broad take on some of the points brought up. But the points about anti-Israel sentiment being de facto anti-Western sentiment is really undeniable. Brilliant talk, Kate. Thank you.

Its simple, they do not assimilate with others! they seem to think they are superior, they believed Jesus was not for them, because he was for everyone!

They seem selfish, they seem lost! do you see Jewish people, I don't ! where are they. They just stick to their exclusive pack. They also have very skewed values, their ownership of Hollywood, is based in pedophilia! they are just not extending their services to others! Where I see Catholics/Christians, go to them and feel bad for them! We even had a sedar in our own Catholic school? does a Jewish school welcome Christians?? are they open to Christians, I have heard stories that in Israel there are Jews that spit on Priests, what kind of behavior is that!

Have you ever considered how tyrannical it is for them to demand we repair the world into ‪what they think the world should be?

Tikkun Olam leads to normalizing pedophilia, prostitution, transgender ideology, and more.

Talmudic Judaism also declares all non-Jews to be cattle and declares we are fit as as slaves or pets.

How could any sane person accept this as reasonable?

Would you also apologize for Nahuatl religion sacraments?

Very interesting podcast. Prof Graham touched on many societal symptoms. Any group that stands out can prove a target by others but add financial/personal success and it is easier to claim that they somehow stole something from ordinary people.

Like any identifiable group, there is the same broad personality mix of human beings. Some of these are overly tribal i.e., sociopathic. There are Jewish individuals who tout that they are the only ones "chosen by God", the Chosen Ones. Those tribal-thinking individuals seeking power and wealth use these statements and Jews as a whole as the reason why others have not done well. Some Jews are exclusive and prefer to remain insular and become particular targets because they remain in the fringes of popular society.

The issue is not being Jewish or any other identifiable group but the tribal-mentality of a few abusing one group to gain power over all others This personality is present in small doses everywhere but highly destructive.
