What's Behind the Demonization of Israel? - video

Recently... there's been an increasing demonization of Israel and, by association, Jews who support it.

We’ve seen these campus protests on American universities where they have these signs, "From the river to the sea." That's an eliminationist slogan that Israel would be wiped off the map from the Jordan River all the way into the Mediterranean Sea and, I guess, dumped into it...

Why in America now?

Well, the first is DEI. Diversity, equity, and inclusion divided the nation into a 70/30 binary. It was dreamed up by... Obama because he felt he didn't have enough traction with the old binary of 12% blacks being victimized...

So, he bundled a new group and said... If you're not white, you are a victimized, oppressed person...

The second is demography... the Muslim birth rate in the United States is about 2.6, and all other ethnic groups, white, black, it's about 1.7. And that population is about 5 million, and it’s projected to increase to a number higher than the Jewish population...

More importantly, we're getting billions of dollars. The UAE, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia are among the top five donors to universities in America, and they have founded Middle East studies programs, and those are not Middle East studies programs. They're indoctrination centers for the entire student body.  

The third is the Democratic Party is not democratic anymore. As I've said before, it has a Jacobin agenda, a French revolutionary party agenda...

But they have a holistic socialist agenda: open borders, illegal immigration mainstream, mass amnesties, no-cash bail, critical legal theory, DEI, and massive cuts in defense, raising taxes, and more entitlements. And of course, in the Green New Deal.

But embedded in that agenda is anti-Israelism and indifference to antisemitism...

You have to embrace it if you’re a Democrat...

The final irony, the so-called bigot, Donald Trump, the so-called racist, Donald Trump, he has admitted he's probably going to be the last president that wholeheartedly supports Israel...

... Cotler-Wunsh's far greater mobilizing message is this: the assaults on the institutions and codes of conduct at the heart of that post-war order have been decades in the making.

In fact, she said, they date back more than half a century to 1975 when the United Nations adopted a resolution defining Zionism as racism. The resolution’s revolutionary convolution of language and logic meant that every Jew and, indeed, every supporter of the State of Israel’s right to exist, must prove the negative of not being a racist...

The mistake, Cotler-Wunsh warned, is to shake our heads or our fists at this 51-year history as if it is a series of individuated events rather than an intricate strategy being played out...

What has played out for the past five decades, she said, is the strategic execution of an "unconventional war" against Israel, yes, but the foundational order of North America and at least Western Europe...
