And Zionism is antisemitic. Although founded by a jew it was a response to the abuse jews experienced in Europe, the UK, the US. Theodor Herzl founded Zionism in 1897. But it took the The Balfour Declaration from 1917 from antisemite Arthur Balfour and WW2 before The US, the UK and Europe decided to help Zionists create this state. Because they saw it as a solution of "the jewish problem" and probably some degree of guilt from allowing germany to kill around 6 millions jews. And the fact that they did that by displacing, murdering and enthically cleanse hundred thousands of Palestinians. Is also antisemitism. Because what is a "semite" Someone practicing Semitic languages. Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic etc. Meaning hate of arabs is also antisemitism.

Salaam! Thank you for this podcast - first time listener(though have followed you on here!) Dang, even as a former Catholic it makes me CRINGE and get so angry about these “christian” cultists who weaponize a guy who was very progressive for his time and would be currently be deported. Also as an almost 20 year cancer survivor I can say that this horiffic shit regarding healthcare has been going on a long time - and I realize that even though I’m Sicilian 2nd Gen have a lot of privilege - especially with a Jewish maiden name (long story that will be on my Substack) I DIGRESS - I ran into hours and hours of dealing with insurance companies who were insane about covering a clinical trial I was on. I know close cancer friends who have died not being able to continue treatment, and also 2 diabetics that couldn’t afford insulin, and one that died waiting for a new organ (they were young and fit the criteria back in the late 90s). It will get worse… Also I let my son swear today (9 also, we are both AuDHD) and he picked this to say - “DjT is a shitty racist person” and I’m kinda proud of that ;) Though he also knows that there is no president that has been fair, equal, and non-destructive. We learned about Capoeria today and I am learning Tatreez with my Muslim friends. He won’t grow up with a narrow biased bigoted view and knows we all have to take care of each other, sometimes even the “mean people”. I hope he will be a light in the world, not a dimmer. It’s a lot to decolonize but I hope I’m giving him a good start. Thank you again. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸❤️‍🩹 Sending you and your family love.
