   I thought the Adam hate was a joke until tonight. I dunno why, probably that thing about me being retarded. Anyway, I happen to agree with Mr Curry on a lot of things.

   1. This place is pretty toxic.
   Even after all the evidence people present I still don’t hate the Jews. Their government is another story, but I’m sick of the Jew hate too.

   2. The enemy lives here.
   This is literally where some pretty disturbing things live and it’s easy to take a wrong term into them. Bad stuff, man.

     Was there something else in a recent episode? I haven't listened to the last two. It is kinda that way though.

     It's always good to be critical of things, even things you love. It keeps you from monothink or groupthink.

     A few weeks back, Adam criticized the whole "Chinese at the Southern Border" narrative from Bret Weinstein. Honestly, a good/plausible analysis. But recently Weinstein has gone down to the Durian gap and have seen the Chinese camps themselves with Michael Yon (someone else I respect a lot):

     ..I think Adam's wrong, but there was no malice. He's doing the best analysis he can with the information he has.

     As far as NA being kinda toxic now ... yea .. it sorta is. Curry isn't doing himself any favors by constantly bringing up donations. I've already hit my personal lifetime max for NA (more than I've given any other show/creator really). The constant donation grift is pretty unusual. I don't take issue with faith, but Curry's new found faith is a big shift.

     Hating the Jews is about as stupid as hating Americans. When I lived overseas, there were people who hated Americans. No matter how _democratic_ a State is, in this era, it's never really subject to the will of the people. Are there a disproportionate number of Jews in media/government/banks? Absolutely. Does the average Jew have any real influence over Zionist policies? Probably not. Even by the white pride people, there supposedly isn't anything wrong in supporting your race above others. It's the only reason M Night Shama-lama still makes movies, the built in Indian audience who supports crap just cause identity. Nepotism would have any race do the same thing (except for Germans and American Whites (whatever the fuck that is) due to guilt).
     
     The government of Israel is pretty bad, and I've had Jewish friends who greatly opposed it. You don't have to be pro-Palestine to be anti-Israel. Certain people see it as one big bag, which is one of the problems.

     In addition to the conflation of anti-Israel == pro-Palestine, there are a lot of opinions that are cast together and conflated due to the mix of religion, ethnicity, and government.

     For example, what is a "Jew hater"?

     Does that mean they hate all practicing Jews? Do they hate those of Jewish ethnicity? Do they hate Israel? Do they believe in the existence of the Committee of 300/EoZ?

     "Jew hater"/"antisemite" and "fascist" are often mere homographical pejoratives.

     @eriner @djsumdog @amerika @Truthy Agreed. I was against Israel when I was a leftist and before I care about jews. It's not the guy who runs a deli who is pushing for open borders and infinite money to Israel. Any reasonable person can see that he's a lot closer to you or me than Larry Fink or any of the jewish power brokers. One could argue that he benefits from his ethnic privilege, perhaps connections and supply lines that the goyim don't get, but "deli-jew" is not the guy that most "anti-semites" dislike. On that note, most would rather he leave than stick around because it's too hard to split hairs and sort things out. Personally, I don't care either way as long as deli-jew sticks to running his deli and being a normal part of the community instead of trying to push porn and open borders.

     The Israeli government was not formed via a war/revolution (France, America) or via protest (India), it was formed by politic via the United Nations in 1947 (the same year India gained independence). This isn't a bad thing, it's just a note on founding.
     
     What followed was massive immigration, illegal immigration by the orders of the UN mandate. Many of the conflicts (yom kippur war, six day war, etc. etc.) could be argued as legitimate defense from the large influx in the region. The issue with Zionism is that the entire global guilt trip that created Israel (a nation that littler didn't exist for nearly 2,000 years at that point) destabilized the entire region. Things like the war in Iraq, removing the democratic government in Iran and carpet bombing Libya all benefit Israel. There is the question of is Israel an arm of America, or is America an arm of Israel. (Both could be true).
     
     A great interview about the state of Palestine from its historical perspective is by Zachary Foster for The Last American Vagabond: https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/zachary-foster-phd-interview-3-4-24/
     
     As far as "defending their people," I think there is a lot of evidence to suggest Oct 7th was a false flag event. Israel funded Hamas for over a decade; created it because they thought it was more controllable than the PLO. Maybe it was, to the point Mossad got them to initiate a first strike. Gaza doesn't have good leadership. Everyone smart took the money Israel offered in the 60s/70s to leave. Those left are stubborn or children or both.
     
     Zionism is bad because it's connected to a political movement against westernization in Arab states and pro-destabilization. Netanyahu is practically a monarch. Since his return, he's tried to gut the entire judicial system. The nation of Israel had one of the hashed COVID policies. The government has bulldozed houses and people for decades (Include Rachel Corrie, an American from Olympia, Washington, in 2003). They are clearly authoritarian, and use media manipulate the masses (e.g. the Arab refugee scene in World War Z that leads to the fall of Jerusalem). Evangelicals perpetually give Israel the "God's Chosen People" buff, due to their subconscious perverse desire to see the return of Jesus and the End Times™.

     To add to this great post:
     
     What's wrong with Zionism or the Israeli government?
     
     They are trying to defend their people.
     
     By the nature of humans, politics, and complexity, they are not going to get it 100% right... or probably even 80%.
     
     I suggest that most anti-semitism is just envy for what the Jewish ethnic groups, culture, and religion do well, including their strong ethnonationalism (Zionism).
