undefined

Jason Louv: I mean, I usually smoke weed all day long. (01:36):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Please smoke weed as much as you want. Okay. (01:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: Fair enough. Other than that, let's go. (01:41):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Well, why don't we just kick it off then? then please introduce yourself and (01:43):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: tell us, tell the audience who you are. (01:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: My name is Joe Paul. I'm a superstar extraordinaire. I'm a champion for Israel (01:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: and the Jewish people. I love America. (01:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: I love you guys. How's that? (01:56):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: That's perfect. That's perfect. Well, we love you. And, and since we set up (01:59):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: this, so I reached out to you on, on Instagram cause I love your videos. (02:04):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: They're very effective. They get, they get through. I love the fact that you (02:07):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: curse so much cause it gets people's attention. (02:11):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: God knows what's going on with the US election. F***ing A. (02:35):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: It's a it's a mess. (02:36):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's a that's a sticky subject. But I like the way that you reported that (02:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: accurately by saying the Golan Heights or northern Israel, (02:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: because far too many times I hear people say the occupied territories or the (02:45):
undefined

Jason Louv: Israeli occupied territory of the Golan Heights. (02:50):
undefined

Jason Louv: And that is some fucking bullshit. And that needs to stop because that that (02:53):
undefined

Jason Louv: further exacerbates the problem, giving people like sending a message to the (02:57):
undefined

Jason Louv: world like Israel is operating on land that it's not supposed to be on. (03:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: And it is very much supposed to be there if they knew what, you know, (03:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: they want to talk about international humanitarian law, the law of armed combat. (03:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: You know, it's not again, it's not a violation of the law to acquire territory (03:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: through defensive strategic military conquest. (03:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: So I wish people would stop saying the occupied territories because Syria is (03:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: never getting the Golanites. (03:25):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, well, let's just dive. Let's just go straight for that. (03:26):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Let's go straight for because you've you've run. (03:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: And my heart goes out to the Druze community. That's what, you know, (03:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: when people are reporting this and saying, (03:36):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, the Israeli occupied territory are calling the Druze, (03:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, Arabs and they're not Israelis or they're, you know, (03:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, orange card carrying Syrians when, you know, that's, that may be the case. (03:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: But, you know, there was the Syrian civil war in 2011 and majority of Druze, (03:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, sought to obtain Israeli citizenship because of that. (03:53):
undefined

Jason Louv: I believe 25% of them already are citizens and majority of them are on the pathway (03:56):
undefined

Jason Louv: to to become Israeli citizens. (04:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: And sure enough, the children, the Israeli Druze children that tragically died (04:04):
undefined

Jason Louv: because of the Hezbollah attack, I'd have to assume that they were born inside Israel proper. (04:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: And that gives them instant citizenship, if I'm not mistaken. (04:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: But don't quote me on it. But, you know, but they were Israeli children and (04:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: the whole world should definitely be outraged. (04:22):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: My understanding also is the Druze also have an insanely high education But (04:25):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: they also are extremely loyal to Israel and have a higher mandatory conscription (04:29):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: rate than the rest of the country. (04:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: Well, they have a mandatory conscription rate or a voluntary conscription rate. (04:36):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Excuse me, voluntary, voluntary. Yeah. Please check me if I get things wrong because, you know. (04:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: Oh, no. Likewise. I mean, the thing that that people, you know, (04:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: let's let's jump right into it. (04:46):
undefined

Jason Louv: You know, the whole claim, the whole claim of apartheid. Let's go straight there. (04:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: The definition of apartheid is a top down initiative, you know, (04:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: that is installed by the governing body to basically forcefully persecute, (04:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: segregate or disenfranchise a marginalized class already. (05:00):
undefined

Jason Louv: And if anything, you can argue that the Arabs within Israel and the Druze within (05:04):
undefined

Jason Louv: Israel actually have more rights than the Jewish Israeli citizens or the Christian (05:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: Israeli citizens because they don't have a mandatory conscription that they (05:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: have to, you know, serve in the IDF. (05:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: And their service is completely voluntary. (05:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: And we absolutely thank them for their service because the Jews, we love the Druze. (05:23):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Okay so let's just go straight to (05:28):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: you know one of the things with this issue is you know (05:31):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: i feel two ways about about it in terms of people's perceptions one (05:34):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: is you always hear the line and people say it's complicated the middle east (05:37):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: is complicated which kind of suggests oh you shouldn't even look at it or think (05:40):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: about it well it's like it's really when you look at october 7th it ain't that (05:44):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: complicated you know all you have to do is look at what happened and ask yourself (05:47):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: what would you do and that's really all you need to see i think but the other (05:51):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: side is you You know, as it's really, (05:54):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: it's easy to get, this is an incredibly detailed issue, (05:57):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: let me put it that way, and it's easy for people who get, who are attached to (06:02):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: it to get very, very, you know, obsessive about it sometimes. (06:07):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: But, and then, so it's easy to forget that most people don't even have the slightest (06:11):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: understanding of it at all. So even when you talk about... (06:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: Nor do they have the patience to comprehend the complexity of it. (06:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: And what adds to the complexity of it, you know how you said, (06:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, it's not that complex. (06:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: What makes it complex is the dissemination of misinformation and propaganda, (06:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: which is used as a weapon of war. (06:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: And people are not familiar with that tactic. (06:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: They don't realize that that is, they believe what they see. (06:36):
undefined

Jason Louv: I mean, it's hard to not believe your eyes when you see it, but, (06:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, there are some tremendous production value videos that are forcefully, (06:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, forcefully shoved in front of your eyes. (06:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: We're talking about like, imagine making a propaganda video to demonize Israel (06:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: and then taking Iran backed funds and promoting the video. (06:56):
undefined

Jason Louv: Like imagine spending a million dollars on an Instagram on promoting an Instagram (07:01):
undefined

Jason Louv: video or a tick tock video. (07:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: And that's what is being done. And you know what? And the Jews, (07:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: we haven't done anything like that. We don't care. (07:11):
undefined

Jason Louv: It almost looks like we don't care about public perception. We just want to (07:13):
undefined

Jason Louv: get the job done because we know deep in our hearts that we're humane and moral people. (07:16):
undefined

Jason Louv: But the dissemination of this false rhetoric and this demonization of the Jews (07:20):
undefined

Jason Louv: and Israel has taken such a toll on all of us that it's like we're putting out (07:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: fake fires before we're actually getting a chance to fight the real one. (07:32):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that must waste just so much energy that could be going to much better uses. (07:36):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Well, let's go straight to the core of that and then disinformation then, (07:42):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: which would be the claims of illegal occupation. (07:44):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And you mentioned land that was taken in 1967. I don't think people even understand (07:47):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: that that was a war or what happened there. (07:51):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: The most that people will say is, well, it goes back to 1948, (07:53):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: but they don't have a real sense of what happened in 1948 or certainly not before then. (07:57):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Let's just go straight to that and address that, the claims of illegal illegal (08:02):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: occupation, if you're up for that. (08:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: I'm always up for that. (08:08):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Okay. (08:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: So their claim of illegal occupation can take two turns when you're discussing (08:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: it or debating it, or if you're objectively listening to somebody speak about it. (08:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: One, they could always go with the Gaza and the West Bank, that those are illegally (08:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: occupied and they've been under a 75-year occupation, (08:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: and we'll decipher and distinguish between both of them. (08:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: So let's start with Gaza. So Gaza, as well as Egypt, was under British control since 1882. (08:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: So Egypt, because it owned Gaza, was technically under British Egyptian control. (08:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: So the people that were in Gaza didn't really have the identity of Palestinians. (08:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's why you hear them being called the Arabs of Palestine rather than Palestinians. (08:53):
undefined

Jason Louv: Because back then, because of the Bible and the historic and biblical reference (08:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: to the word Palestine, it was mostly associated with who? (09:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: Jews. So the Arabs of Palestine didn't want to be considered Palestinians or (09:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: take on that identity because of the affiliation with Jewish people and the (09:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: Jewish religion and the biblical prominence, if you will. I think that's the word, if not, you know. (09:17):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Go fuck yourself. So... (09:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: Gaza was basically under Egyptian control up until 1967 when Israel declared its independence. (09:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: Gaza, for lack of better words, was not under a military occupation because (09:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: it was still establishing itself and its own borders and actually getting the (09:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: ball rolling with actually people's settlements and government. (09:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: I mean, a lot goes into establishing a nation, (09:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: and the reason why the Palestinians never have actually went forward and got (09:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: that two-state solution or their own nation is their lack of representation (10:00):
undefined

Jason Louv: and their lack of organization. (10:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: And I'm not saying that as a smite or as a diss to them. (10:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's just the reality of it, because had they had better leaders with better (10:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: organization skills and better leadership skills and took the actual steps of (10:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: what is required through the UN General Assembly and through lobbying from other (10:22):
undefined

Jason Louv: nations to sanction the vote to certify them as a state. (10:28):
undefined

Jason Louv: If they would have went through that actual process like Israel did, (10:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: we'd invest in a terror infrastructure rather than providing for its people. (10:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: And I do feel for the Palestinian people because majority of Palestinians have Jewish heritage. (10:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: I mean, I always say that the Palestinians are just... (10:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: Basically, Romanized, Islamicized Jews that lost their way. (10:50):
undefined

Jason Louv: Because back in the Levant, in the Jerusalem area, when the Romans came in the (10:56):
undefined

Jason Louv: third century and changed the name from Judea, Samaria to Syria, (11:01):
undefined

Jason Louv: to Syria, to Palestine, who do you think occupied those lands? (11:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: You had Arabs. I mean, I wouldn't say Muslim because Islam wasn't founded until the seventh century. (11:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: So we're still in the third century. So you had polytheistic tribes, (11:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, which, you know, prayed to many gods and different idols. (11:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: You had Jewish people, which were the monotheistic, you know, people. (11:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: You started to see the Christians actually, or Catholicism, Catholic, (11:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: I don't even know how they would (11:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: actually describe it, but that's when it really started to take form. (11:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: But, you know, once the Romans came and conquered, it's like basically they (11:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: it was their way or the highway. (11:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: And it was a lot of conversions and forced conversions. (11:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: So and then when Islam came, it (11:44):
undefined

Jason Louv: was the same thing. And they ultimately colonized the entire Middle East. (11:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: You know, so when they say that Israel is a colonial state, Israel is actually (11:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: the the the best example of a decolonization project ever there was. (11:55):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Yeah. Let's talk about that, because that's like, you know, the two. (12:01):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: The two things you hear people shrieking about are imperialism or white supremacy. (12:05):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Neither of one is relevant in the slightest. (12:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: No, it's relevant, but it's misguided. (12:12):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Okay, okay. (12:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's misguided because if you ask nine and a half out of ten people who are (12:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: the Jews, they won't be able to answer you. (12:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: Whether they're Jewish or not, they won't be able to answer you. (12:28):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: So (12:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's kind of. (12:32):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: What's your answer for that well. (12:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: Who are the Jews? I mean, that's a very. (12:38):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Very deep question. (12:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: The Jews are a remnant of an ancient civilization that has basically reestablished (12:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: its presence within mainstream society and come together with a Zionistic practice (12:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: of being able to migrate to our ancestral homeland to survive. (12:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's that's basically it i mean and that was the most scientific definition (12:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: i'm definitely going to like screenshot that because that was beautiful however (13:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: i don't think i can repeat that as good as that was but for (13:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: lack of better words the arabs of palestine don't know who the jews were and (13:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: majority of the jews didn't know who they were i'd say 90 90 to 95 percent of (13:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: the incoming jews from like 1880 to the early 1940s was completely secular zionism was not a religious (13:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: movement at all or socialist or socialist. (13:27):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: If i'm right. (13:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: But more more communistic event okay i mean yeah because their whole practice (13:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: their whole theory was to basically, (13:36):
undefined

Jason Louv: establish these settlements or these kibbutzes and you know live off the land (13:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: and be able to you know what one person does you know is you know provides for (13:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: another and what that person does should provide for you and we all basically (13:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: give to each other while we're while we're establishing this place. (13:50):
undefined

Jason Louv: And communism, you know, from that aspect, when you're establishing a nation, (13:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: isn't necessarily a bad thing, as opposed to when a nation is already established (13:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: under some sort of, you know, democracy or fascist, you know, dictatorship, (14:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: and then communism is the law of the land, then it becomes a problem. (14:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: But in the establishment, you know, I feel like it was necessary, (14:11):
undefined

Jason Louv: because there was no established, you know, government right from the jump, (14:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: you had these settlers that basically did not come into the land and start kicking (14:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: people out of their homes. They set up tent cities in the fucking desert. (14:22):
undefined

Jason Louv: So it's like, what are they supposed to do? So they cultivated the land and (14:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: they lived off the land and then they traded with each other. (14:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: So it was almost like without the exception of no one person can have more than the other. (14:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: It wasn't like that. It was more like one person, like a commune, (14:36):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, basically like everyone provides for each other. (14:39):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: So, so. (14:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: I forgot what the actual initial question was but you'll have. (14:44):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: To bring me back yeah well occasionally i. (14:46):
undefined

Jason Louv: Go off on a tangent. (14:48):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: That's the beauty of podcasts uh somehow it all comes back to the where it's (14:49):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: supposed to go uh yeah i have i have an ex-girlfriend whose parents grew up (14:55):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: on one of the kibbutzes in the 60s and it sounded like a lot of fun actually (14:59):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: like they were they were partying non-stop i think except. (15:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: They didn't have tv they only had radio. (15:05):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: That's not the worst thing you know know. (15:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: In terms of like getting the media, like imagine having to hear about the six (15:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: day war on the radio and you don't have actual broadcasters that you can watch (15:16):
undefined

Jason Louv: and see footage of what's happening. (15:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: So just from that aspect, you know, it's a little, it's a little weird, (15:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, but then again, I don't know. (15:28):
undefined

Jason Louv: I don't know that way of life. And it was completely normal. And. (15:30):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Well, I think that one people, I think something that people don't understand (15:35):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: is that Israel is a tremendous collection of different, of Jews from all over the world. (15:37):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: So ethnic groups from all over the world and also ideologies and forms of Judaism. (15:41):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And, and it's incredibly diverse in that way. (15:47):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And then, but you see people say incredibly offensive shit, like go back to (15:50):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Poland and assuming that all Jews are white. (15:53):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And like, there's, there's so many levels. I mean, not, not least the fact that (15:56):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: that's where the majority of the Holocaust happened. And there's so many levels (16:00):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: of unbelievably foul to statements like that, but I see them on the internet (16:03):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: every day. And so, you know. (16:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: I mean, the best, the best way to describe the Jews is when it comes to Poland (16:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: or Russia is we were a pinball that basically got stuck at the top of the, of the game. (16:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: And we just bounced around for a little bit, but we were never really supposed (16:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: to be there and they never really wanted us there. We never were able to obtain citizenship. (16:24):
undefined

Jason Louv: We weren't able to migrate and immigrate elsewhere. (16:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: We had a forced conscription of a 35-year military term. (16:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: We were converted to Orthodox, a Russian Catholic. (16:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: We were taken from our homes at 12 years old to a detention center, (16:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: converted, and had an indoctrination of six years until you were 18, (16:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: and then you had to serve until you were 43, and who knows if you were ever (16:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: able to see your family again. (16:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's why a lot of the males that were taken under, I believe it was Tsar Nicholas (16:57):
undefined

Jason Louv: I or II, and if any historians are watching, they're going to be like, (17:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: no, you should know that, you should know that, but I'm high and whatever. (17:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: So that's why you see a lot of Russian nationalists that don't really subscribe to their Judaism. (17:13):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's more about their nationalistic Russian identity, And that's a form of, (17:20):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, forced conversion because ultimately, if they knew who they were, (17:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: they would denounce their, you know, fake Russian heritage and realize that (17:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: they were originally from Judea. (17:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: But you can't convince people once they have, you know, strewn off the path. (17:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: So, yeah, we were a pinball that got stuck at the at the northern part of the (17:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: game, which is northern Europe. (17:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: And we weren't really even wanted there. And, you know, the pogroms from 1880 (17:45):
undefined

Jason Louv: to 1920, you know, experienced, you know, the worst wave of attacks that Jews (17:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: have basically ever seen. (17:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: And it was surprising that Theodore Herzl was able to, you know, (17:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: foresee that this was happening and and instill and instilled the idea of migrating (17:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: back to Zion or to Israel, to Judea, Samaria, (18:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: because we need to need it to for our safety. (18:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: But it was also part of a bigger nationalist movement. (18:13):
undefined

Jason Louv: It was like the Jews actually like raised their eyebrows and said, (18:16):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, well, OK, so the Russians, you know, are Russian from Russia and, (18:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, the the Germans. (18:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: Are Germans from Germany. But who are the Jews and where do we belong? (18:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: And the only logical answer, if you look at any of our prayer books for the (18:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: past thousands of years, is, you know, we were trying to go back to Zion. (18:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: We were trying to, you know, and next year we will rejoice in Jerusalem. (18:43):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: So, well, one thing that's happening, you know, now, which is, (18:48):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: you know, unbelievably tragic and disturbing is, well, let me put it this way, (18:52):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: you know, Theodor Herzl, which people don't know is the father of Zionism, you know, he was right. (18:57):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And unfortunately, every passing decade proves him more right in the fact that (19:02):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: you now see that, you know, there was this assumption forever that America just (19:05):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: is with Israel no matter what. (19:09):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And I think it will still be that way. And we need to reassert that forcefully. (19:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: You know, people don't realize that America really didn't jump on like Israel's (19:16):
undefined

Jason Louv: bandwagon until like the mid 70s. (19:21):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Right. (19:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: And we. (19:24):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Weren't great on the Holocaust cost either we refused to bomb the train lines (19:24):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: to auschwitz and all this stuff so. (19:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: I mean and we had you know immigration quotas you (19:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: know that well i mean anyone could look up it's called the emergency immigration (19:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: quota act of 1921 and then it was refined in 1924 and basically what that did (19:36):
undefined

Jason Louv: was it it limited the amount of jews that they let in to a percentage that they let in in 1910. (19:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: So it's like from Lithuania, from Bulgaria, from Romania, from Russia, (19:50):
undefined

Jason Louv: however many Jews that they let in in 1910, they would only let in 2% of that amount in that year. (19:56):
undefined

Jason Louv: And then in 1924, they refined it and they reformed it and they said, okay, we're going to do. (20:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: We're going to do only 2% of what it was back in 1890. (20:11):
undefined

Jason Louv: So you started from 1924 with 3%, and then you went back to 1890, (20:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: which if anyone knows their history, not that many Jews were able to actually (20:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: get out of Northern Europe in the late 1800s because of extreme persecution, (20:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: lack of transport, (20:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: as well as no funding in order to do that. (20:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: Most of the Jews that came to America were broke. There was a story about there (20:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: was a rule that you weren't allowed to get off the boat unless you had at least a dollar, (20:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: because a dollar meant that you'd be able to survive for at least the night or two. (20:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: So you had the I forgot what the name of the of the person that assists on the (20:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: dock, you know, with the deep passenger ring of the people. (20:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: But he would basically bring a dollar onto the onto the ship, (21:01):
undefined

Jason Louv: hand it to the person. The person would walk back and hand it to another person, (21:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: and they would just do this. (21:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: But for lack of better words, the Jews that came to this country were flat broke. (21:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: So there was a real need for us to seek refuge in the only place that we thought (21:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: people weren't going to kill us. (21:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: And look how good that did. But thank God it did. because had not had Theodore (21:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: Herzl's project or experiment not taken form, me and you would not be here. (21:31):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Yeah. And that's something that I think people need to understand and need to see going forward too. (21:38):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: I mean, you say Jews came here flat broke, but they also built this country in the years since. (21:43):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And without, you know, one of the things that, one of the reasons why I've just (21:48):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: been trying to do whatever, (21:52):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: you know, say whatever I can is that the kind (21:53):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: of what I'm i'm seeing under the surface is you have america saying maybe we (21:56):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: shouldn't really support israel and then you also have people you (22:00):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: know israelis understandably saying like we can't trust america we (22:03):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: can only trust ourselves and that's an (22:06):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: understandable reaction and i think that needs to be america needs (22:09):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: to get its shit together because as far as i'm concerned we made (22:13):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: a promise to protect israel and that is a promise period and we don't get to (22:16):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: go back like we're going back on that and it feels like that and that if that (22:22):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: happens that you know it's not just it's not just israel it's america's gonna (22:25):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: fall apart the whole world's gonna fall apart and if i was if i we're. (22:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: Gonna be stuck in one one islamic caliphate and it's not me being prejudice (22:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: against arabs or islam i'm prejudice against radical islam. (22:38):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And radical. (22:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: Arabs and i think i'm pretty justified i want to i want to do a little experiment with you. (22:43):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And all. (22:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: Of your guests okay this is nothing Nothing romantic, but close your eyes. (22:48):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: All right. Okay. (22:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: In the order that you hear this, I want you to rate what is scariest from scariest to less scary. (22:56):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Okay. (23:04):
undefined

Jason Louv: Praise Jesus. Baruch Hashem. Amen. Amen. Amen. (23:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: So which one's scary? (23:11):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Okay, yeah, it would definitely be Allahu Akbar, followed by praise Jesus, (23:12):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: which in comparison, by the way, not that scary these days, finally followed by Baruch Hashem. (23:16):
undefined

Jason Louv: Yes. (23:22):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: But, you know, in comparison, nothing is as terrifying as, and let's talk about that. (23:22):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Because, you know, one of the things a friend in Israel has said is, (23:27):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: you know, people have said. (23:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: And this is not, and this is not being prejudiced against all Arabs. (23:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: So I want this to be very, very clear, because if you want to clickbait this (23:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: and you want to like clip this to be like, oh, look, you know, (23:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: he's racist against. It's like, fine, whatever. (23:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: You fucking want me dead anyway. So it's like you want to believe that that (23:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: I'm being racist towards you when you want me actually exterminated. (23:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's like, let's talk. That's a real fucking problem in itself. (23:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's like, OK, my words hurt you, but your ideology wanting to kill me. I'm not. (23:56):
undefined

Jason Louv: I'm going to be cool with it. Oh, thank you. Thank you. (24:00):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: So I have a friend in Israel that he was saying, you know, students in America (24:03):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: claiming that Israel is, you know, imperialism is, (24:07):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: you know, compared to, you know, compared to or rather radical Muslims talking (24:11):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: about imperialism is the height of irony. (24:15):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And I wanted to read, I'm reading this. This is a book from Yale, Islamic imperialism. (24:18):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Okay. And it just has four quotes in the beginning from different periods. (24:24):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: So it starts with Muhammad. (24:28):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: It says, I was ordered to fight all men until they say there is no God but Allah. (24:30):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: That's Prophet Muhammad's farewell address, March 632. (24:34):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Followed by Saladin, I shall cross the sea to their islands to pursue them until (24:38):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: there remains no one on the face of the earth who does not acknowledge Allah. Saladin, January 1189. (24:43):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Followed by the Ayatollah, we will export our revolution throughout the world (24:49):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: until it calls, there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, (24:53):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: or echoed all over the world. (24:57):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: So that's the Ayatollah Khomeini, 1979. (24:58):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And then finally, I was ordered to fight the people until they say there is (25:01):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: no God but Allah and his prophet Muhammad. (25:05):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And that's bin Laden, November 2001. So there you go. (25:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: So let's go and let's add to that with the 1988 Charter of Hamas, (25:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: which is chase every last Jew behind every last rock and tree until every last (25:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: Jew behind that rock is dead. (25:20):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And probably a lot of the other countries, also Yemen. I mean, (25:22):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: we went through the Houthis. (25:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's some scary shit. That's some scary shit right there. Like they talk about like Jewish supremacy. (25:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: Like you don't hear our prayers like and we will convert everybody to judaism (25:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: and show them how great moses was how big his staff was like right but we won't be satisfied. (25:37):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Till everyone's eating chinese food on christmas. (25:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's fucking hysterical that is hysterical i might i might steal that from (25:45):
undefined

Jason Louv: but go ahead please please go ahead we the jews we will not be satisfied fine (25:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: until everyone eats Chinese on Christmas. (25:56):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Right. It's not too frightening. Yeah, and I don't think that people understand... (26:01):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Well, first of all, they don't understand that Israel's fighting a war on seven (26:08):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: fronts. They don't understand how serious people are. (26:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: The people that aren't Jewish don't care. They have zero care in the world for (26:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: it because everyone has their own agenda. (26:20):
undefined

Jason Louv: I mean, there's a lot of people that are for the fight that aren't Jewish, (26:24):
undefined

Jason Louv: but my friends that aren't Jewish, unless they hear it from me, (26:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: it's not in their algorithms. (26:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's business as usual. it's you know not like if they see something on the (26:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: news it's like oh an attack on jews it's like it's almost commonplace now so (26:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: you don't realize that the amount of anti-semitism has went up you know from (26:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: a global perspective by like anywhere between six and eight hundred percent (26:45):
undefined

Jason Louv: which is that's scary and it's not like it's not like. (26:49):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: It was low before so it. (26:53):
undefined

Jason Louv: Wasn't but it wasn't so in your face it's like we knew you hated us now you're (26:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: wearing it on your shirt yeah now you're Now you're like, you know, (26:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: that's in your bio on Instagram. (27:02):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Yeah. And now we're seeing like people are putting like Hamas is coming, (27:04):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: spray painting it on the Liberty Bell, burning the American flag. Like, hello. (27:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: At this point, it's like I'm like, remember those proud boys? (27:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: You know, they were all like strapped with guns, ready to like, (27:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, it's like, all right, guys, listen, I know you guys don't like Jews, (27:20):
undefined

Jason Louv: but I'm sure you don't like them. (27:22):
undefined

Jason Louv: You know, I'm sure you love America more than you hate the Jews. (27:24):
undefined

Jason Louv: So, you know, I mean, it's time to show up. I mean, our space lasers, (27:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, we're still tweaking a couple of things, so we're not going to be (27:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: able to actually fire them off for a little bit. (27:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: So we can use some help here in the name of democracy and Jewish freedom. (27:35):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Well, that's one thing that people need to understand. I think that number one, (27:39):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Israel is awesome. And number two, this is everyone's fight. (27:42):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: This idea that people don't realize it. (27:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's it's staggering. (27:49):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: What do you think the best way to make that point to people is? (27:50):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Because I saw, you know, I, you know, look, I went to the UK. (27:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's easy. It really is. (27:57):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Okay. (27:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: Let's say, let's say Israel is crushed and there's no more Jews and Israel is (27:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: now the 24th Muslim entity or nation. (28:04):
undefined

Jason Louv: Is there going to be peace in the middle East? Does that, is that, (28:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: is that going to, is that going to stop right there? (28:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: What happens next? Do you think that, because the only reason that they are (28:16):
undefined

Jason Louv: basically not wanting Israel to exist is because of their absolute passionate love for the Jews. (28:22):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: So. (28:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's not all of them where do you think they're (28:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: going after this because they're gonna have to make sure (28:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: that there's no retaliation from the other jews so you (28:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: think they're just gonna stay over here in the middle east i mean we've already (28:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: seen kind of them and i hate to i mean it sounds like it but it's almost like (28:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: a fungus that lower bacteria that is spreading and it's going beyond control (28:46):
undefined

Jason Louv: we see germany we see the uk is just fucking lost yeah france you know um dearborn Dearborn, (28:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: Michigan is not in Dearborn, Michigan. (28:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: It literally is the first Sharia law state. (29:02):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Is it actually? Is it? (29:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: Well, the pride flag is banned there. Females are not allowed to be out unless (29:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: accompanied by a male suitor. (29:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: I believe they have to be in their burqas or their coverings at all times. (29:16):
undefined

Jason Louv: I mean, don't quote me, but this is what I've seen or I've read in different newscasts. (29:20):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: But I haven't. (29:24):
undefined

Jason Louv: Actually went to Dearborn and actually seen it firsthand nor do i think i'm going to go. (29:25):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: There but um. (29:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: Yeah if there's one place that's not on my to-do list at any point in time anytime (29:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: soon it's probably dearborn michigan. (29:35):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Yeah i was on twitter started just i set up a twitter column where i was following (29:37):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: all the politicians in dearborn and yeah they're tweeting like they're in yemen (29:41):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: or something it's just like non-stop fuck israel it's just like wait this is (29:46):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: like these are american politicians Yeah. (29:50):
undefined

Jason Louv: No, I have I have a real problem with the with the delegations from those states, (29:53):
undefined

Jason Louv: because it almost feels like a hostile takeover or a slow takeover by by voting (29:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: the ones that you want in that are sympathetic to the radical cause. (30:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: And I don't think they even know how fucking dangerous it is. (30:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: I don't even know if they, I mean, I'm sure that they believe what they think (30:13):
undefined

Jason Louv: in their heads, but I don't know if anyone's actually really tried to explain the truth to them. (30:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: And it's very disheartening because what are you going to do when you see, (30:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, the most perfectly executedly fake crafted death of a baby being crushed by a building in 4k. (30:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: Like you can't tell someone that that's not real, even though we see the videos (30:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: of the people, you know, before the building falls, you know, (30:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: getting makeup put on them and people. (30:46):
undefined

Jason Louv: Oh, I got to say, I'll send you as many as like, yeah, you never heard the expression, Pollywood? (30:49):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: I've definitely heard that. If you can send me some, I would love that because (30:54):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: then I can put it in the YouTube. (30:57):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: But I've seen things like Sean King got into a bunch of trouble because he tweeted (30:58):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: this video of IDF soldiers beating on a Palestinian woman in a marketplace. (31:02):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: But then people sent the whole clip and the part that he didn't show is her (31:10):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: just walking up and stabbing the shit out of the guy. (31:14):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Just out of the blue for no reason. (31:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: You showed that video recently in the airport where, (31:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: Like the guy got kicked in the face? (31:23):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: No. (31:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: So I'm trying to remember where it actually was. And maybe I shouldn't talk (31:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: about it because I don't have the exact. (31:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: The whole point is that the entire video was not shown. (31:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: And the video beforehand, or when you see the entire video, it's like these (31:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: two gentlemen are basically trying to beat the shit out of these soldiers. (31:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: And there's a law that you're not (31:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: allowed to basically use your hands on somebody (31:45):
undefined

Jason Louv: that's resisting because you have to take your hand off of (31:50):
undefined

Jason Louv: your gun and then that means that they can possibly grab your gun so (31:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: they were using their feet okay and they kicked this and they kicked this dude (31:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: right in the face and you know i probably would have done the same thing because (31:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: it looked like they were causing some fucking mayhem and trying to beat up everyone (32:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: but it's a scary fucking world out there so well one of the misinformation and (32:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: the uh and the fake videos and the propaganda, (32:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: it's enough to make you go crazy. It's like I said in the beginning. (32:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's like you spend most of the (32:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: time putting out the fake fires without actually fighting the real one. (32:19):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Right. So one of the things that really just hit me like a brick in the face (32:24):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: maybe two or three months into this conflict is... (32:28):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Just the extent to which it's like it's just like how much war has changed it's like (32:34):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: it's like you have the shooting on the ground but then you have the social media (32:38):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: war it's like the whole world is involved in this war on social media and i (32:42):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: didn't necessarily want to make that comparison because it's like oh yeah like (32:45):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: shit posting online is the same as people fighting in the idf but at the same time it's like it's. (32:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: Very it's very much relevant like i don't know how old you. (32:54):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: 42 okay. (32:56):
undefined

Jason Louv: Perfect so you remember watching like you know like cnn or msnbc back Back in (32:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: the day when they were covering like the Iraq war where it's like, (33:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, it just wall to wall coverage and all you see is like the missiles and the bullets flying. (33:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's like it was captivating. You just were watching it, but it's like there (33:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: was no context behind it. (33:13):
undefined

Jason Louv: Now you have context in 4k mixed with a whole shitload of misinformation and videos. (33:15):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: You have a war over the context itself. You know, it's like people like trying (33:22):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: to change, manipulate the how it's not just showing you things. (33:26):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: It's telling you how to perceive them. (33:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: And they're using our laws and practices to their own advantage and saying that this is, listen, (33:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: calling for an intifada or calling for the final solution should not be allowed under free speech. (33:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: I understand in the context of free speech, you're allowed to criticize the government. (33:47):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Free speech does not mean inciting violence. (33:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: Lens it doesn't or does it mean you know (33:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: screaming it like hateful death (33:56):
undefined

Jason Louv: threat type of remarks out in the streets and it's like you don't see you don't (34:00):
undefined

Jason Louv: see jews protesting out saying you know eradicate all the muslims you know like (34:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: kill all the palestinians like you don't see and you don't see jews underneath (34:11):
undefined

Jason Louv: yeah you don't see jews under palestinian people's posts you know like you know (34:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: death to all the Palestinians you know we're hiding their faces, (34:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: yeah I like IDF should bomb the whole place like you don't see this shit but (34:22):
undefined

Jason Louv: yet we're the fucking problem it's like wake the fuck up world and I know that like, (34:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's, you know, a lot of this is out of frustration that like our voice has (34:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: been suppressed and we don't have the reach that we should and we don't have (34:36):
undefined

Jason Louv: the backing that we should. (34:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: And we're not as organized as we should. And one thing is for fucking sure, (34:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: if the Jews ran the media, we would not be dealing with this fucking shit at all. (34:44):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Yeah. Wouldn't you just be able to pick people off with the Jewish space lasers? (34:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: Yeah, absolutely. Use a fucking, you know, a Magandavid fucking, (34:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, Jewish stars like a Chinese star and just fucking start winging it at people. (34:55):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Did you ever see uh i'm sure you've seen space balls right they have that part (35:00):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: in the end where they have the star of david spaceships flying uh yep i love (35:03):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: that movie yeah that's great she. (35:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: Didn't look jewish. (35:09):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Well one thing that i think in terms of counteracting narrative is that i think (35:10):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: can be really really powerful and effective is addressing specific you know (35:16):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: quote unquote influencers so you you mentioned the word intifada which i don't (35:20):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: think people understand the context of that or what that means at all. (35:24):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: They think it means resistance. (35:26):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: One person who is incredibly pernicious is Abby Martin, who's been going around (35:28):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: saying, globalize the intifada and like holding up signs saying that and then (35:34):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: claiming she's the voice of peace and justice. (35:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: I'm sure she's a nice person. (35:39):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Oh, yeah. I'm sure she's delightful. Yeah, yeah. But I think that maybe I've (35:41):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: noticed in my advocacy for Israel is that people will come back with say, (35:46):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: well, what about Abby Martin? (35:52):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Or what about norman finkelstein people like this and i my background is the (35:53):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: left i was about 20 years ago i was about as liberal as you can possibly get and i haven't. (35:57):
undefined

Jason Louv: Really changed my. (36:01):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Opinions that much it's just the world has gone completely insane. (36:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: Right the world has changed me it's like i haven't really i haven't taken a (36:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: conscious effort to change but it's like seeing what i've seen around me has (36:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: forced me to tweak my ideologies or my beliefs or you know my my focus i mean it's It's like, (36:13):
undefined

Jason Louv: you have to, I mean, if you're not able to adapt and overcome in today's society, (36:20):
undefined

Jason Louv: you're done for, you know, but in terms of Abby Martin or Norman Finkelstein, (36:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: you have a lot of self-hating, self-loathing Jews. (36:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: And the only thing that I can think of is if I have a product and I want to (36:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: market it to a certain bunch of people, and I want to maximize on the amount of money that I can make, (36:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: do I want to market it to 15 million people? (36:46):
undefined

Jason Louv: Or do I want to market it to 2.3 billion people? (36:50):
undefined

Jason Louv: Which way would I make a little bit more money? So that's one aspect that, (36:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: and I have no way of substantiating that. (36:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: I don't know one way or another, but I do believe at some point, (37:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: Norman Finkelstein definitely had either his girlfriend or his fiance or his (37:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: wife that got fucked very, very well by an Israeli, (37:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: like better than he ever could lay down his dick game. (37:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: And since then, he has been salty as a pair of fucking 80-year-old sweating nuts. (37:22):
undefined

Jason Louv: But I don't know his motivation of why he does this, but it's so toxic and it's so, (37:28):
undefined

Jason Louv: infuriating because he's a brilliant man who does say some brilliant shit, (37:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: but it's very misguided and it's very out of context, (37:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: and a lot of it is skewed to show favoritism for his side, which is basically (37:45):
undefined

Jason Louv: trying to highlight the plight of the Palestinians or what he thinks that should happen in the future. (37:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: So in terms of his stance on individual things, like we can pick those apart (37:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: because I'm very sure on all of the things that he's done. (38:04):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be great. (38:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: But all you have to do is, I mean, it's a long debate, but Lex Friedman had (38:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: a debate with Norman Finkelstein, with Destiny, with Benny Morris. (38:16):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: I saw that. Mr. Borelli. Yeah. (38:20):
undefined

Jason Louv: That was. (38:22):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Hilarious norm lost blue his top that was so funny. (38:24):
undefined

Jason Louv: If you just think about it like this you don't (38:28):
undefined

Jason Louv: even have to watch the whole thing when he's trying (38:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: to pick apart a quote from the most notable historian in history that's a double (38:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: neck that's like most notable historian in history in history yeah like benny (38:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: morris he's trying to take a quote from benny morris's book and try to tell him, no, (38:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: this is what you meant when you wrote this book, which is from the greatest (38:53):
undefined

Jason Louv: historian of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. (38:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: And he tries to always bring it back to this quote. He's like, (39:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: no, but they had to have been like this, and you meant this. (39:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: And trying to argue with the person that wrote it just shows you the type of person, (39:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: he is. You could go to his Wikipedia and you could actually read that people (39:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: say that he falsifies truths. (39:22):
undefined

Jason Louv: He embellishes, you know, the actual facts. (39:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: I mean, would I love to debate him? Sure. I mean, he'll probably, (39:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, talk about a thousand different things besides the actual topic at hand. Right, right. (39:34):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: What do you think the core of, so you said you would love, you you're well versed (39:39):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: in his points and what do you think the core of his points are and how you would counteract them. (39:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: Howard it's the belief and (39:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: the material that he first studied i bet you it has heavily a lot to do with (39:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: the hundred year the hundred years of palestinian war by rashid kalidi i can (39:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: almost guarantee you that you know noam chomowski which has been his mentor (40:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: has you know basically almost indoctrinated him to be like a second gnome. (40:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: And, you know, even though, you know, we're supposed to, you know, (40:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: say, you know, not speak ill of the dead, you know, rest in peace, whatever. (40:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: But and I know that's insensitive, but I really don't give a shit because it's (40:20):
undefined

Jason Louv: like when you are a Jew and you go against the Jewish people, (40:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: you're like you're worse than a capo. (40:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: A capo was like forced to do that, you know, in order for survival. (40:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: Nobody's forcing you to go against the Jews right now. Now, only your stupid (40:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: twisted ideology and how you perceive things and how you deem yourself as the (40:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: foremost expert when you're talking straight nonsense is just garbage. (40:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: If you want to believe, if you want to talk about the root of the cause, (40:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: you have to go to, let's see, and we can start at the very, very beginning, you know, where, (40:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: okay, so this is all about Islamic honor and the preservation of Islamic honor (40:57):
undefined

Jason Louv: and thinking that you have a place in somebody else's story in order to preserve that honor. (41:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: And I believe that's what Norman Finkelstein tries to do. (41:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: But the ideologies that he has with his studies of, or I'd say, (41:13):
undefined

Jason Louv: not his ideologies, his perception of the 1982 war in Lebanon with Israel is (41:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: where it actually first started. (41:24):
undefined

Jason Louv: And I believe that he bought into a lot of the propaganda where. (41:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: Israel allowed the Coptic Christians to basically massacre a lot of the, (41:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, Lebanese people, you know, in an uprising. (41:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: Meanwhile, that's only one side of the story. (41:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: It wasn't like Israel, it wasn't like Israel, the IDF would let them do anything. (41:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's like they didn't occupy Lebanon. (41:46):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Right, right, right, right, right, right. (41:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: Invade them. But it's like we can't really control what another group does. (41:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: Similar to we can't control what the Leahy did at Deir Yassin. (41:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: And that whole contention with that massacre, even though there's substantiation (41:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: that it wasn't a massacre, or at least wasn't a massacre like people think. (42:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: It wasn't 240 innocent civilians massacred. (42:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: The delay he went into, dear Yassin, with megaphones and said, (42:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: clear out. We are coming through. (42:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: Get out. I mean, there's going to be a war here. and they were in fortified (42:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: houses with machine guns firing at them. (42:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: The one massacre that they do claim that people said was that 13 soldiers were (42:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: lined up in a firing squad when they were captured and they were systematically executed, (42:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: which is a war crime and the Leahy were persecuted for it because they were (42:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: deemed as like a terrorist organization. (42:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: So when people say, oh, did Jews ever do anything bad? Like, (42:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: yeah, we did a couple of things, but not on the level of that. (42:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: But the point that I'm making is even how bad that was, there was a guy by the name of Dr. (42:57):
undefined

Jason Louv: Khalidi who was actually the grandfather of the author of the 100 Years Palestinian War. (43:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: And you know that Rashid Khalidi teaches at Columbia University. (43:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: So how the students are indoctrinated like that, I think he's head of Middle Eastern studies. (43:11):
undefined

Jason Louv: So his way is what they're learning and dissemination of that false propaganda (43:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: that 1948, Israel stole Palestine. (43:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: Rather than 1948, Israel declared itself a state and had a declaration of independence (43:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: and won its freedom from seven different fronts that sought to attack it the (43:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: day after they declared their independence. (43:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's a very different story. And it's not like they don't have a good rationale (43:46):
undefined

Jason Louv: behind why they're doing it, but it's misguided. (43:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: And that lie has been perpetuated for almost a century. so the battle of Deir Yassin Dr. (43:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: Khalidi comes in and says we need to maximize on this massacre and we need to (44:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: call for a caliphate because like a call to action it was almost like sending (44:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: a mass text listen we're about to fuck shit up everybody come in, (44:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: so he so he made up a lie and went to the news stations and the media reporting (44:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: and the newspapers of the time which basically was controlled by the Ottoman (44:20):
undefined

Jason Louv: Empire because this was very very I'm sorry by. (44:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: By the ruling body right after the Ottoman Empire. (44:28):
undefined

Jason Louv: So free speech just kind of started, but it was still regulated to a certain extent. (44:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: So he lied and said that the IDF raped pregnant women and killed babies. (44:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: And that's where the whole blood, that's where that particular blood libel of baby killers, (44:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, stems from, you know, even, you know, I know it's been hundreds of (44:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: years since they said that the Jews basically took the, you know, (44:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: Christian babies and use their blood for different rituals or whatever. (44:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: But that lie spread to all the villages. And rather than. (45:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: Pulling all of the Islamic and Arabic, you know, nations together to vanquish (45:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: Israel, it scared the villages and they basically turned to flight. (45:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: They thought that if the IDF would rape pregnant women and kill babies, (45:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: we should leave our houses. (45:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: So that propaganda, that lie helped cause the displacement of the 700,000 Palestinians, (45:24):
undefined

Jason Louv: which the Nakba is not actually the displacement of the Palestinians. (45:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: The Nakba, it was a catastrophe that seven armies went against these subservient, (45:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: second-class citizens and the people that were looked at as not even human beings (45:44):
undefined

Jason Louv: like the Jews were able to defeat them. That's a catastrophe. (45:50):
undefined

Jason Louv: The fact that the 700,000 were displaced, they were a victim of circumstance. (45:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's collateral damage in my book. But that's not the Nakba. (46:01):
undefined

Jason Louv: The Nakba is the catastrophe of the Arab armies losing when they were a dominating (46:04):
undefined

Jason Louv: force for close to a thousand years. (46:09):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And then that got repeated in 1967, which people don't understand the history of either. (46:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: Right. Well, so 1967 is actually I did I put that post out yet? (46:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: I don't know. I'm actually putting that out probably later today. (46:24):
undefined

Jason Louv: Age. But in 1967, you have Abdul Nasser, who has an agreement with King Hussein (46:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: of Jordan, that he has control of the Jordanian army for the sole purposes of attacking Israel. (46:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: Nasser also has an agreement with King Assad of Syria, that they're going to (46:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: attack simultaneously, basically one right after another, or as soon as one (46:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: of them gives the, you know, it's all hands on deck, let's go. (46:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: While lining up all the troops along the Sinai Peninsula, inshallah. (46:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: In Egypt, which is on the border of Israel. Israel sees this and gets intel that this is happening. (46:56):
undefined

Jason Louv: And they make the decision to launch a preemptive strike because war was imminent, (47:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: like they had sufficient intel to launch that preemptive strike. (47:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: And if they didn't, there would have been a lot more casualties. (47:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: So June 5th, 1967, they launch a preemptive strike. (47:13):
undefined

Jason Louv: And in the most systematic, you know, bombardment of the Egyptian Air Force (47:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: and completely decimated them, which they've been practicing, (47:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, to go to war with Egypt for years. (47:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: So in one failed swoop, boom, Egyptian air force completely decimated. (47:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: They no longer have, have any sort of air support for anything. So basically they won. (47:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: Egypt spreads a rumor. See how propaganda, this is how propaganda gets you in trouble guys. (47:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: So Egypt spreads a rumor that they were victorious to maintain the rapport with the Egyptian people. (47:44):
undefined

Jason Louv: So Nasser could hold onto his, you know, position of power and they don't, (47:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, like throw him out, you know, for, for losing against the, against the Jews. (47:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: So the media covers this as a great victory. (48:01):
undefined

Jason Louv: They try to contact Syria to let them know. (48:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: Now the military tries to contact Syria or our NASA's people, (48:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: but, and this is where I might not have my facts correct, but their encryption (48:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: machine to decipher cipher coded messages, they had just upgraded. (48:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: And Syria didn't do the Microsoft update of the time to basically be able to read it. (48:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: And so Egypt was warning Syria about, listen, we just got crushed by the Israelis. (48:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: So you might think twice about doing that. (48:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: So in that process, Syria hears the broadcasting from Egypt about the great (48:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: victory, and they think it's business as usual. (48:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: They attack israel they lose israel (48:45):
undefined

Jason Louv: now has hold of the golan (48:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: heights because it drove syria back it was (48:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: it took hold of jerusalem because it was able to drive the jordanians back and (48:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: now israel is very very large with territory they also take over the sunai peninsula (48:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: so now israel really is the promised land which was promised to abraham you (49:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: know basically from mesopotamia to egypt you know, (49:11):
undefined

Jason Louv: without actual Egypt proper, so to speak. (49:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: So I hope this is not boring to you, I guess, because I know there's one big (49:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: like history lesson, but everyone, light your joints because I still got more to go. (49:21):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Very good. Very good. Yeah, there's a lot to, there's a whole lot of moving parts here. (49:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: Right. So in war, when you lose, you lose territory. (49:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: You also don't have the right to cry about it. (49:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: If you're lining up all of your troops and you're about to strike, (49:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: but we hit you first, but you came to the schoolyard to fight. (49:43):
undefined

Jason Louv: I just happened to be at the schoolyard already. So you actually took the initiative (49:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: to come there. You don't get to cry about it afterwards. (49:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: And this is also within context, while Syria, Jordan, (49:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: and Egypt are fighting or trying to attack Israel, you also have the Palestinians (50:02):
undefined

Jason Louv: within Palestine or the West Bank and Gaza that also are having uprisings and (50:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: trying to add to the fight. (50:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: But the main fight was the call to action from the Arab armies, (50:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: which basically fought on behalf of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (50:22):
undefined

Jason Louv: or the Palestinian movement at the time. (50:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: So this occupation is not (50:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: an occupation patient if you lose because of (50:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: military conquest if you're fighting in one area and (50:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: i need to kill you in order to stop you (50:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: from killing me but i have to go into that territory you (50:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: think i'm gonna let you back so you could do it again no like that's right like (50:44):
undefined

Jason Louv: let's look at it in the in the context of gangs and territories and turfs okay (50:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: okay i'm one gang i'm operating on my block selling my shit you're operating (50:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: on your block selling your shit you come onto my block looking for a fight. (50:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: I engage with you. I drive you back to your block where, you know, (51:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: you, you, you run shit, but I beat you. (51:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: Am I letting you have that block back? Cause what if you try and do that again, (51:11):
undefined

Jason Louv: this block is strategic for me to have so that you can't come and attack me (51:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: again. So now I can sell my shit on both blocks. (51:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: And you know what? Now you're never getting it back because you attack me and that's not nice. (51:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: So that's, that's the Golan Heights in a nutshell. show. (51:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's like, because of where it's located geographically and strategically, (51:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: if Syria or Lebanon were to have hold of that, like you'd have free reign to decimate all of Israel. (51:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: You could literally see everything from the mountain range of the Golan Heights. (51:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: So that is not an occupied, that is not Israeli occupied territory. (51:46):
undefined

Jason Louv: That is Northern Israel. (51:51):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Now, let's talk about 2005 and Gaza and Judea and Samaria or the West Bank. (51:53):
undefined

Jason Louv: And let's do it quick because I'm definitely going to have to go to the bathroom, (51:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: Sean, and I definitely got to go run out because I got to take my pops to a doctor's appointment. (52:02):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Oh, boy. OK, well, maybe instead of that. (52:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: Then we'll go through Gaza. (52:07):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: OK, let's go through that then, because I also don't fully comprehend why Israel (52:09):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: would give the territory back. (52:13):
undefined

Jason Louv: Me either. But you know what? Israel has a way of cutting its nose off the spite (52:15):
undefined

Jason Louv: its face in the interest of peace and not just peace in the region. It's peace worldwide. (52:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's for the sanctity of, (52:28):
undefined

Jason Louv: peace of mind. Okay. Not only just peace, but peace of mind. (52:31):
undefined

Jason Louv: Like when the world has peace of mind and they don't have to worry about it, (52:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: it's almost like the matrix effect. (52:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's like, if you didn't know that, you know, the matrix, you know, (52:39):
undefined

Jason Louv: was, you know, what really is going on and the, and the, your eyelids are pulled (52:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: up to what reality actually is. (52:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: You might want to be, you know, back in the matrix where you don't know any (52:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: better and it's just business as usual. (52:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: So the world operates a lot better when the status quo is maintained. (52:53):
undefined

Jason Louv: So in 2005, it was (52:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: after seeing the 140 separate (53:01):
undefined

Jason Louv: suicide bombings from 2000 to (53:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: 2005 in what's called the second intifada so these (53:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: things that that they're calling for are violent uprising even the first intifada (53:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: which they say you know oh it was just you know kids throwing stones at the (53:16):
undefined

Jason Louv: idf like if you picture 30 people with rocks and we're talking like rocks that (53:20):
undefined

Jason Louv: are like this big We're not talking like like little fucking like little pebbles that, (53:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, we're talking like boulders that get thrown at cars and soldiers and (53:30):
undefined

Jason Louv: people like that's not a peaceful demonstration. (53:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's not a a lightly shaking off. (53:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: They like to say that the definition is to shake off. It's a violent uprising. (53:44):
undefined

Jason Louv: Rising so the whole reason that there is a blockade and (53:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: a fucking checkpoint and there's a (53:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: border is because of the second intifada when the israeli people can trust that (53:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: the palestinians don't want to kill them every chance that they get maybe that (54:00):
undefined

Jason Louv: blockade and that border and those checkpoints will calm down a little bit but (54:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: prior to 2000 there was no blockade there were no checkpoints So they can't fucking say, (54:09):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, end the blockade, stop the blockade, (54:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: you know, you know, because if had they had Gaza not smuggled weapons from Egypt (54:16):
undefined

Jason Louv: and through the Mediterranean in order to commit these heinous acts, (54:22):
undefined

Jason Louv: there would be no need for the blockade and there would be business as usual. (54:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: Gaza had one of the most beautiful beaches in all the world that a lot of people (54:28):
undefined

Jason Louv: in southern Israel used to frequent on a regular basis. (54:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: So there was a lot of people that worked between Gaza and Israel proper. (54:38):
undefined

Jason Louv: So the whole reason of 2005 of – what are we talking about in 2005? What do we want to know? (54:43):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Hamas and them coming in. Okay. Where they fit in. (54:50):
undefined

Jason Louv: Where they fit in. So 2005, PLO and Fatah was basically the governing body. (54:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: And there was a coup that was staged to basically eliminate Fatah. (55:01):
undefined

Jason Louv: And then subsequently, Hamas, you know, through force, kind of took over, (55:05):
undefined

Jason Louv: forced an election, forced a victory. (55:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: And then a second place victory party to Fatah was throwing them off the roofs (55:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: of buildings and killing their opposition. position. So Hamas has been in control since 2005. (55:19):
undefined

Jason Louv: And under the, I guess the, (55:24):
undefined

Jason Louv: the shield or the force field of UNRWA, you know, which is the biggest problem (55:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: in the entire grand scheme of things. (55:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: So you have a radical regime that basically is indoctrinating their youth, (55:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: starting at five years old to be trained to kill Israel, storm Israel, (55:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: take hostages, become a martyr, and get you 72 virgins by becoming a martyr (55:45):
undefined

Jason Louv: and grace and blessing your family, you know, from your martyrdom. (55:51):
undefined

Jason Louv: How do you fight against that? How do you win a war against people that are (55:55):
undefined

Jason Louv: willing to train their kids to kill? (56:01):
undefined

Jason Louv: That's a deeper form of evil all in itself. (56:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: And Israel, being the strong nation that it is, the fact that they were complicit (56:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: in allowing Hamas to get this much power and allowing it to actually operate, (56:17):
undefined

Jason Louv: it's almost like they were willfully blind. mind. (56:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's like, you can't tell me that they didn't know that some shit was going (56:25):
undefined

Jason Louv: on and they were just hoping that they wouldn't reach the capabilities or have (56:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: the balls to do it, knowing that if you attack Israel, Israel is going to attack you tenfold. (56:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: So that's Gaza in a nutshell in 2005. (56:38):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Well, I know you got to go. So I think a good place to end it on is my perception (56:41):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: right now is that Israel is screaming at America and the world to wake up. (56:45):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: And so if you could encapsulate what that needs to involve. (56:49):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Help us take the hummus pill, if I can call it that, in modern parlance. (56:54):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: What do we need to wake up to? (56:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: It's hard to say wake up to the propaganda because it's like you have thousands (57:01):
undefined

Jason Louv: of millions of people that are screaming like, you know, like conspiracy theory (57:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: and the deep state and this is, you know, AI. eye. (57:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: And if you do the slightest bit of research of who the Jews actually are and (57:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: who the Jews actually were versus who people thought they were and who people thought they are, (57:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: you might get some level of understanding. (57:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: But if I had to sum it up, the Jewish people have been shitted on since the dawn of time. (57:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: And we know how it feels to be shitted on. So we would never want (57:37):
undefined

Jason Louv: to do that it's not like you know oh you (57:41):
undefined

Jason Louv: got molested by your uncle so now you're going to molest your (57:44):
undefined

Jason Louv: nephew like it's not it's not one of those things like we (57:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: were persecuted so much that we would never want to (57:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: do that to another group of people let alone would we ever want to pick a fight (57:53):
undefined

Jason Louv: with somebody that like literally it's a thousand to one like the finger blaming (57:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: and the and the and the justifications and the rationales are understandable, (58:04):
undefined

Jason Louv: but they're a little misguided. (58:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: And they're based on lies that have been compounded for over a hundred years (58:12):
undefined

Jason Louv: by an ideology that stems from a hundred years ago, from the first Palestinian (58:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: leader, which is Haj Amin al-Husseini. (58:23):
undefined

Jason Louv: Who was basically taught by Dr. Khalidi. (58:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: Like, I mean, he was taught, I'm sorry, who was taught by Rashid Raida, (58:29):
undefined

Jason Louv: who was an Egyptian scholar, (58:33):
undefined

Jason Louv: who had the first known encounter of calling the Arabs of Palestine non-complacent (58:35):
undefined

Jason Louv: entities because they were just people within the Ottoman Empire that didn't identify as anything. (58:42):
undefined

Jason Louv: So that whole ideology of this letter that he wrote to them saying that you're (58:49):
undefined

Jason Louv: going to let the Jews come in and turn you into slaves and they know so much (58:57):
undefined

Jason Louv: about society that they're going to basically far exceed what your capabilities (59:00):
undefined

Jason Louv: are, so you need to act up and act now. (59:06):
undefined

Jason Louv: And then followed by Hajimini al-Husseini's quote, which is there would be no (59:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: stop to any of the fighting until every last Jew was vanquished and Palestine was Arab only. (59:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: You only have to go back and look at that to understand the ideology of what we're faced with now. (59:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: And if people in America can wake up and understand that we're dealing with (59:27):
undefined

Jason Louv: a bunch of people that have taught their dogs to be dog fighters. (59:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: And I'm not meaning to call them dogs, but once you're a rabid dog, (59:36):
undefined

Jason Louv: it's very, very hard to rehabilitate you just by the snap of the fingers or (59:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: just by trying to talk to you. (59:44):
undefined

Jason Louv: It doesn't work. But the people that know better should act better. (59:47):
undefined

Jason Louv: And the people that are smart enough to understand that the wool is being pulled (59:52):
undefined

Jason Louv: over your eyes and they're force-feeding you some shit that really, (59:56):
undefined

Jason Louv: in common sense, is not believable. (59:59):
undefined

Jason Louv: Stop perpetuating the fucking narrative of the genocide, the apartheid, (01:00:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: the ethnic cleansing, the blockade, and all of the other stupid buzzwords that they use. (01:00:08):
undefined

Jason Louv: So wake the fuck up, America, and realize that like you realize that i'm a that (01:00:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: i'm a real motherfucker and i'm not going to like peddle some you know propaganda (01:00:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: there's bullshit on you because i'm not getting paid for this or neither am (01:00:21):
undefined

Jason Louv: i yeah but have hasbro give me a call after right right. (01:00:25):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Right yeah i say i i say i just want access to let me just use the jewish space (01:00:28):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: lasers once that's all i want. (01:00:32):
undefined

Jason Louv: Exactly just once i would say more about the birth of the palestinian refugee (01:00:34):
undefined

Jason Louv: problem 1948 1949 by benny morris okay and and less of the 100 years Palestinian war, Rashid Khalidi. (01:00:40):
undefined

Jason Louv: Because this one, the Rashid Khalidi, is the equivalent of the elders of Zion. (01:00:48):
undefined

Jason Louv: And the propaganda, that was the first mind-cum-f, almost. (01:00:54):
undefined

Jason Louv: So it's a lot of propaganda, it's a lot of opinion rather than fact. (01:00:58):
undefined

Jason Louv: And Benny Morris actually is the historian that went into the archives and is (01:01:03):
undefined

Jason Louv: telling it from the most objective point of view. (01:01:07):
undefined

Jason Louv: And if you need to understand what I mean by objectivity, he is totally against (01:01:10):
undefined

Jason Louv: any of these the illegal settlements or whatever you want to call it in the (01:01:14):
undefined

Jason Louv: west bank so so you could believe what he's saying and take it as gospel because (01:01:18):
undefined

Jason Louv: it's not like he's showing favoritism he's just reporting the facts okay. (01:01:23):
undefined

IamjopauL on Israel, Islamism & Middle East Escalation: Well thank you so much for being on the show it was lovely to speak. (01:01:26):
undefined

Jason Louv: Absolutely you enjoy yourself have a good week thank you again thank you. (01:01:30):
