Transcript [00:00] Why are so many US Democrats dumping on [00:04] the Jewish state? What do they think [00:05] they're going to achieve? Do they think [00:07] that by dumping on Israel they're going [00:09] to strengthen America or strengthen [00:10] their own base? Well, [00:13] that's probably not the reason. It's [00:15] something much more sinister and Lee [00:17] Shrink, who is an entrepreneur and a [00:20] commentator, had a great take on it [00:22] which I really liked and I thought I [00:23] should share with you. Before I do, [00:24] don't forget to build Israel. [00:26] Buildisrael.com helps us build the land [00:29] of Israel, helps us this program.

[00:40] >> Nancy Pelosi just voted to cut off [00:42] Israel, but everyone's still asking the [00:44] wrong question. [00:45] They're asking why the Democrats turned [00:47] on Israel. The real question is, why [00:50] Israel? Why the obsession with this one [00:53] tiny country? It's not the answer you [00:55] think. [00:56] This week more than half of House [00:58] Democrats voted to strip every dollar of [01:00] aid from Israel. Pelosi included, the [01:02] woman who ran the party for 20 years. [01:05] And it's definitely not about foreign [01:07] aid because only minutes after the [01:09] Israel vote, Massie moved to cut [01:10] Jordan's aid and nearly every Democrat [01:13] voted to protect it. [01:14] So, more than 100 Democrats will defund [01:17] Israel and almost none will touch [01:19] Jordan. [01:20] But, the truth is this isn't about the [01:22] vote. It isn't even about the money. [01:24] This is about the direction of travel [01:27] for the Democratic Party. [01:28] Embrace yourself. [01:30] Over 200 Democratic Socialists now hold [01:33] office in this country. [01:36] And anti-Zionism, [01:37] the destruction of Israel, is a [01:39] requirement for membership, a condition [01:41] of entry. [01:42] >> Sad, sad, sad. [01:43] >> crisis on Earth, they want to end this [01:45] little country of 10 million people. [01:48] Not Afghanistan where the Taliban has [01:49] erased the entire nation of women from [01:51] public life, not Sudan where hundreds of [01:54] thousands are dead, slaughtered, 14 [01:56] million driven out, and widespread [01:58] famine, but Israel must be dismantled. [02:03] And I'll tell you a little secret. [02:05] Israel isn't the actual target. [02:09] It's the stand-in. [02:10] You see, Israel is everything they [02:12] resent most about America. [02:15] Strong free capitalist successful [02:18] with a powerful military. [02:20] >> Biblical, and biblical, and religious, [02:23] and observant, and godly, and moral, and [02:25] and family, and anti-jihad. Add those [02:27] things. Not just strong. It's not just a [02:29] strong identity. It's not just a strong, [02:31] you know, economic identity, or or [02:33] liberal values. I'm talking about [02:35] liberties for people. Those things are [02:36] very important, but it's also about God, [02:38] and it's also about the Bible, and it's [02:39] also about family, and it's also about [02:41] anti-jihad, right? Those are the values [02:43] that Israel stands for, and where Israel [02:46] and the conservative alliance with the [02:48] United States works, okay? And Lee, your [02:51] point is that these people want to [02:53] dismantle that. Am I right? [02:54] >> Everything they want to tear down here, [02:57] Israel is over there. [02:59] A legitimate American politician can't [03:01] stand behind a podium and say, "I hate [03:04] America." [03:04] >> Mhm. [03:05] >> Not yet. [03:07] But they can say it about Israel. [03:09] So, Israel becomes the proxy where they [03:12] comfortably say the quiet part out loud [03:14] without having to say it about America. [03:18] Israel is the appetizer. [03:20] America is the main course. [03:23] The same movement that wants Israel [03:24] dismantled wants America remade. Same [03:27] idea, same contempt, different zip code. [03:31] When they chant against Israel, they're [03:33] not finishing a thought. [03:35] They're starting one. [03:37] So, the next time you hear them come for [03:38] Israel, listen closely [03:41] because they're not telling you how they [03:42] feel about a country halfway around the [03:43] world. [03:44] They're telling you how they feel about [03:47] ours. [03:49] >> I think it's an excellent point. I [03:50] really agree with that in general. It's [03:52] like It's like Israel's this thing. It's [03:54] your boogeyman. It's this thing that you [03:56] want to attack cuz you want to see those [03:58] values destroyed. You want to see those [04:00] values destroyed. And they are the [04:02] values of liberty and freedom, of [04:04] family, anti-jihadism, and the Bible, [04:07] and God, and strong identity. I [04:10] personally believe that progressivism [04:13] uh [04:14] is actually the first strike of the [04:17] artillery of the jihad. First, they get [04:19] rid of your identity, whatever [04:21] masculinity you have, whatever whatever [04:24] historical uh pillars you had that help [04:26] you hold up your country and tell your [04:29] story, your narrative. They destroy all [04:30] that. They destroy it with the New York [04:32] Times. They destroy it with progressive [04:34] values on campus. [04:36] They undermine everything that's yours [04:40] and and what you are, and then the jihad [04:43] is let in and it takes over. So, I think [04:45] it's like a two-step. Uh but what Lee is [04:47] saying here is anti-Israelism [04:50] is really anti-those values that they're [04:53] trying to destroy within. And if you [04:55] think about it, really, that's what [04:56] anti-Semitism is. It's like It's like I [04:58] want to get rid of that force in this [04:59] world. Certainly, Hitlerian [05:02] anti-Semitism was of that ilk. And [05:05] Nietzschean anti-Semitism, it's like, we [05:06] got to get rid of those values that the [05:08] Jewish people stand for, the value of [05:10] every individual person, the value not [05:12] of strength over [05:14] you know, one person being able to bully [05:16] the other, [05:17] but rather the rights and liberties of [05:19] every individual person, the the the [05:21] fight against authoritarianism, [05:25] the fight against [05:27] the kind of uh you know, elements that [05:29] want to subdue society and take away [05:31] freedoms, uh the fight against the real [05:33] Bible using a kind of fake Bible. So, [05:37] uh I think Lee is right. [05:39] And I think all those people [05:41] out there on our side need to identify [05:43] what's really going on [05:46] and view anti-Israelism for what it is, [05:48] which is an assault on your identity, [05:50] wherever it is. And then a standing up [05:52] for Israel is actually a standing up for [05:54] your identity, your connection to God, [05:56] your belief in in freedoms and [05:58] liberties, your anti-jihadism. That's [06:00] what I think Lee is hitting on. All [06:02] right, folks. Uh don't forget that if [06:04] you believe what Lee just said, and you [06:06] want to see a strong Israel, help us [06:07] build Israel. buildisrael.com is the [06:09] website we created for you.
