How to Become a Christian Antisemite in Four Easy Steps

Well, let me give you four easy steps to become a Christian anti-Semite. Welcome, welcome to the Line of Fire.

This is Michael Brown. That is Thoroughly Jewish Thursday. I am back from Italy. So thrilled to be sitting here live with you. Had a wonderful time of ministry in Italy from last Thursday through Tuesday. Flew back, let's see, left 4.15 Italy time yesterday in the morning or 10.15 Eastern time Tuesday evening. Got home about 18 hours later.

Yeah, a couple flights and great trip back. So blessed to be here with you. Here's the number to call. We've got some really critically important stuff to cover today. 866-34-TRUTH. 866-34-TRUTH. 866-34-TRUTH. 866-34-TRUTH. 866-34-TRUTH. Any Jewish related question of any kind is absolutely welcome today.

866-34-TRUTH. I will comment a little bit more on the university anti-Israel pro-Hamas rallies, protests. I talked about them some last week and of course have written articles on it.

But I'll weigh in on that a little bit more. I do want to set the record straight on a new House of Representatives bill that different prominent folks like Tucker Carlson and others are saying would forbid quoting of the New Testament in its in its protection of Jewish people. So I'm going to set the record straight on that in a little while. But again if you have a Jewish related call 866-34-TRUTH. I want to lay out for you today four simple ways that Christians become anti-Semites. And I've been watching this happening over the years. I'm watching it happening more and more now. So I want to tell you in advance so you can watch for these things as they happen among friends, colleagues that you have hopefully not the pastor of your church or leader of your ministry.

But be on the lookout for these things. Four simple steps that people take and they end up becoming Christian anti-Semites. Christian people who demonize Jews as a people. Christians who delegitimize the state of Israel as a nation itself. So four simple steps. First step is this. You say that based on the Bible God is finished with the Jewish people as a people.

That's where you start. You say that based on the teaching of scripture God is finished with the Jewish people as a people. Yes individual Jews can be saved like anyone else but God is finished with the Jewish people as a people and the promises once given to Israel in the Old Testament now find their fulfillment through Gentile Christians in the church. In other words that you hold to one form of replacement theology or another whether you call it fulfillment theology or expansion theology etc.

Now let me be perfectly clear. There are Christians who have held to these views who are not anti-Semitic. There are Christians today who hold to these views who are not anti-Semitic. I am not saying if you believe based on scripture that God is finished with the Jewish people as a people that you are therefore anti-Semitic.

I am not saying that if you believe the promises once given to physical national Israel in the Old Testament find their fulfillment through Gentile Christians today. I am not saying that makes you an anti-Semite and there are plenty of Christians who hold to those views today who are not anti-Semitic. I am saying that the embracing of those views in many cases is the open door to become an anti-Semite.

That that is the first step or the foundation. I can say for sure that I do not know any professing Christian in the world today who can clearly and accurately be called an anti-Semite. Someone who demonizes the Jewish people as a people. Someone who demonizes Israel as a people as a nation.

Someone who speaks of the Jewish people in caricaturate inaccurate false terms. I do not know any professing Christian who is an anti-Semite who does not hold to some form of replacement theology. In other words, recognizing God's eternal purposes for Israel and the Jewish people is the anchor that stops us from becoming anti-Semitic because of the tide of the world, the tide of human opinion, the tide of satanic attack, and the weaknesses of Jewish people like all other people. All right, so to repeat, I'm not saying you're an anti-Semite if you hold to some form of replacement theology even if you don't like that term.

I am saying that that historically and to this day is the open door. It is the beginning of a view that can become anti-Semitic. So that is the first step. You hold to a theology that says God is finished with the Jewish people as a people based on scripture and or the promises God once gave to physical Israel now find their fulfillment in gentile Christians and physical Israel has no place as a nation, as a people, as an entity on the earth today in God's larger purposes. Individual Jews can be saved but outside of that there are no purposes that remain for Israel.

Okay, that's step number one. Step number two is you begin to believe more and more negative reports about the Jewish people. You begin to see, yeah, I think the Jews do have too much power in America. You know, I think, well, yeah, Jews do seem to control a lot of the money.

Jews in Hollywood, look at what they're putting out. Yeah, and you know, actually the more I look at the situation in Israel, the more I see how evil the IDF is, the more I see how evil the Israelis are, the more I see how innocent the Palestinians are. So you begin to believe more and more negative things about the Jewish people as a people. You begin to believe some of the standard caricatures. You begin to believe some of the standard libels about the Jewish people or about the people of Israel.

And conversely, you become so pro-Palestinian, so much standing with the Palestinian cause that you now even downplay the atrocities of Hamas. Well, we don't know. They really didn't know. They didn't behead babies. Oh, okay. So only beheaded adults. So it's not so bad.

Yes, some children could, but not intentionally. Oh, okay. And they didn't rape any of the women.

All right, so these are all just bogus reports. You even go that far as your sympathies shift to the point that you downplay the atrocities of Hamas and that you demonize the IDF as a whole. All right, so step number one, you embrace the theology that says that God is finished with the Jewish people as a people and or the promises once given to physical Israel now find their fulfillment in Gentile Christians.

That's step number one. Step number two, you begin to believe more and more wrong things, caricatures, overstatements, misleading statements about the Jewish people and about the nation of Israel. So you now personally become somewhat hostile to Jewish people.

It could be joined with bad experiences you had. I don't doubt for a moment that some of the black Hebrew Israelite antipathy towards Jewish people, towards white American Jews is based on bad personal experience over the years, interpersonal issues and things that have come up over the years. Or maybe it was a rich Jewish businessman who didn't do your community right and you suffer for it or a rich Jewish landlord and you resented that and felt you were taken advantage of as a tenant or whatever it was. So maybe Jewish kids in school, they seem to be richer, they were in the faster track in class and more advanced. And why was that?

It didn't feel fair. There was something negative. So whatever it is that feeds in now negative feelings, impressions about the Jewish people.

That's number two. Number three, you now go back and reread the Bible through different eyes, through eyes that are now hostile to the Jewish people. And you begin to see, yeah, what is it about these Jews? Always stiff neck. God said they're stiff neck. Moses said they're stiff neck.

The prophet said they're stiff neck. And now these become caricatures of all Jews through history, right? And anything the New Testament says that is negative about Jewish leadership, right? That now speaks of all Jewish people through history. So now all Jews through history somehow become Christ killers. All Jews through history are now guilty of deicide, killing God since Jesus was God incarnate. All Jews through history are stiff necked hypocrites. So you now read the New Testament through a new light, which causes you to misunderstand passages, misrepresent passages. All Jews of all time have the guilt of the blood of Jesus hanging on their heads, based on a passage in Matthew, for example. Or God has given the kingdom over to a new people. Ah, so he's taken it from the Jews and given it to the Gentiles, based on a misreading of another passage in Matthew.

Or all Jews displeased God and are Christ killers, based on a misreading of a passage of Paul in 1 Thessalonians. So that's step number three. You now read the New Testament through different eyes, in which you say, yeah, look at that.

Look at that. And then number four, and you're home. You're home with this. You've now officially become a Christian anti-Semite. It becomes sort of part of your sacred mission to expose the evil of the Jews. It now becomes part of your sacred mission to expose the evil of Israel. It becomes part of your Christian calling to reveal the demonic nature of what the Jewish people are doing on the earth today and how dangerous, quote, the Jews are. Now friends, what I am describing, I've seen happen with my own eyes. It's not just my spiritual logic saying this. It is what I've seen and witnessed with my own eyes.

And it happened recently. I was to my shock. I got an email from an editor of a Christian website, conservative Christian website. I'm not posting articles on this site currently, so it's not, again, you can't look at and try to figure out who I'm talking about. But I was shocked by what this editor said.

You know, spouses, you might say conservative Christian, Catholic, values, etc. And the editor was just blasting away an evil Israel, downplaying what Hamas did on October 7th. And the IDF is just, they're just out by design, by goal, sniping, killing innocent Christians in Gaza or in the West Bank and Palestinian children just by design, going about doing it.

Now you kind of go back and reread the Bible and etc. So fair criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic. Fair criticism of a Jewish person is not anti-Semitic.

Caricaturing Jewish people, demonizing Jewish people, delegitimizing the state of Israel, those things are anti-Semitic, must be called out. And through four easy steps, you can get there yourself unless you are careful. Be forewarned. You're going to see it increase a lot in the coming days. Friends, we will be right back.

All right. I got an email today from Andrew Torba, who is the CEO of Gab, and he made some very, very strong statements claiming that House Bill HR 6090 is a threat to the Christian faith. And then I started receiving other emails from folks saying, have you seen this? And I've been interacting with Charlie Kirk. We haven't been able to talk directly because of our respective radio shows, but from Turning Point USA about this very issue to try to set the record straight.

So that's what I'm going to do here now. So Charlie Kirk, who is known as a strong supporter of Israel today, Charlie Kirk posted this on X, formerly Twitter. Did the House of Representatives just make parts of the Bible illegal?

All right. I think it's got like 30,000 likes. Did the House of Representatives just make parts of the Bible illegal? So Tucker Carlson responded with yes, the New Testament, also with like 30,000 likes. So Tucker Carlson, who has been increasingly accused of harboring anti-Semitic views. So Charlie Kirk, strong supporter of Israel, but Tucker Carlson has increasingly been accused of harboring anti-Semitic views and aired a horrific interview with an anti-Semitic pastor, Munter Isak, in recent days.

He's got millions of views and it's tragic. It's misleading, terribly misleading. So he responded to Charlie Kirk. Charlie said that the House of Representatives just make parts of the Bible illegal. Tucker Carlson said yes, the New Testament. And I'll read to you exactly what Andrew Torba said. Andrew Torba, in his book on Christian Nationalism, has a whole chapter taking on whether he's anti-Semitic or not because he's quite frequently accused of being anti-Semitic.

And Gab is known to be a hotbed for anti-Semitism. So Torba wrote this, that the House bill adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism, which includes the basic biblical truth that the Jews killed Jesus Christ as classic anti-Semitism. The bill has raised serious concerns among Christians who believe that their first amendment rights are being threatened.

For example, H.R. 6090 could potentially make it a crime for pastors to preach sermons that adhere to biblical passages of which there are many which explicitly state that the Jews killed Jesus. And Torba writes this, friends, as a Christian nationalist, his words, and he signs off saying Christ is King. Now, we've addressed the Christ is King issue recently.

I've said this plainly. I will proclaim and shout from the rooftops that Christ is King, that Jesus is King, that the Messiah Mashiach is King. I will shout that from the rooftops, period. It is biblical. Jesus was born King of the Jews, died King of the Jews. He will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. So Christ is King.

Yes. At the same time, I will call out those who are anti-Semites and tie their anti-Semitism in with Christ is King, such as Nick Fuentes, who talks about how Jews have to be removed from all positions of power in America. And he says there's going to be a holy war and we're going to kill them.

They're not going to kill us. And then says Christ is King. I will call that out. That is evil. That is sinful. That is a destructive misuse of the phrase and statement that Christ is King. So, what's the basis for the statement then? Where are they coming from? These are not people who are uneducated, people who are unable to read.

They're reading something and it's alarming them. I got an email earlier saying that it's not a matter of replacement theology. It's not holding to replacement theology. It's simply a matter of what does this bill say. So let's look at it, all right? The House bill quotes the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism, which has been used for a number of years now. It's a fairly well-known definition.

I've interacted with it over the years as well. It says accusing Jews as a people. So anti-Semitism is accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group or even for acts committed by non-Jews.

Excuse me, that's an example. Let me read the definition. Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and or their property through Jewish community institutions and religious facilities. So anti-Semitism is expressed as hatred towards Jews.

All right, pretty simple. So the IHRA now is going to give examples, specific examples, including accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group or even for acts committed by non-Jews. Or another example, accusing the Jews as a people or Israel as a state of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust. That would be Jew hatred, anti-Semitism.

Or, and this is the one that has Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson and Andrew Torba and others very concerned. This is on the IHRA website, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance website. In terms of their definition of anti-Semitism, remember the House has adopted this definition. Here's an example of what would be considered anti-Semitism that would now be considered hate speech by the House. And before I read this example, you might say the House bill goes too far. You may say the House bill, which was passed roughly 320 to 90, you might say the House bill infringes on people's freedom of speech. That's a totally separate issue. Does it forbid quotations of parts of the New Testament?

Absolutely categorically, no. So here's where the misunderstanding arises. An example is this, using the symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism, for example, claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel. So blood libel is that every Passover, Jews will kill a Christian child or a priest and use their blood for the making of Passover matzah, etc. Using the symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism, for example, claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel, to characterize Israel or Israelis. That would be considered anti-Semitism. So in other words, to say that Israel is a Christ killing nation, that Israelis are Christ killers, that Israelis are guilty of deicide, that would be considered anti-Semitism.

And it is, rightly so. It is not saying that if you hold to the New Testament truth that Jewish leaders gave Jesus over to be crucified, that you are therefore an anti-Semite. Even if it refers to, quote, classical anti-Semitism claims of Jews killing Jesus, it's talking about the historical manifestation of that, that Jews through history are somehow Christ killers, that all Jews are guilty of the death of Christ. That is the anti-Semitic application, and that is wrong and that should be opposed. Whether it should be illegal or not, whether it infringes on free speech in general, that's a separate issue.

But that's the issue. Not quoting New Testament passages such as Acts 2 36, let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified Lord Messiah. That would not be anti-Semitic to quote that. It would be anti-Semitic to say that Israelis today are all Christ killers or that all Jews today kill Jesus or are Christ killers or guilty of deicide. That would be considered anti-Semitic and it should be. It is anti-Semitic and it's absolutely unbiblical. What about these actual verses?

We'll unpack them on the other side of the break. Michael Brown here, my delight to serve as your voice for moral sanity and spiritual clarity. We are living in such urgent times today, friends, that all of us are in the line of fire.

There's a target on your back, there's a target on my back.

I'm here to say, friends, that I am not about to be silenced and I don't believe you are either. It is time for us to stand up. It is time for us to say enough is enough. It is time for us to push back in Jesus' name, not fighting the way the world fights.

No, overcoming evil with good, overcoming hatred with love, overcoming the flesh with the power of the Spirit, overcoming lies with truth. And that's what we're here to do on the Line of Fire broadcast. And friends, it's not just a broadcast, it is a movement of people around the world.

Michael Brown, delighted to be with you fresh back from my Italy trip. 866-34-TRUTH. Okay, very important exciting announcement. We have been back with a substantial gift this month up to $50,000 total to help with our radio ministry expansion to get us on more and more stations. We just launched earlier this year a 30-minute equipping broadcast. We have invitations from hundreds of stations across America to get on the air. They find it much easier to air than our one-hour live broadcast and we've just got open doors everywhere. We just got a massive open door that we're stepping through in faith that will help us blanket Los Angeles.

Come on, think of this. Blanket Los Angeles with The Line of Fire broadcast. How important is that? Speaking the truth, getting our three R's out, revival in the church, gospel-based moral and cultural revolution, redemption of Israel.

So it's a matching funds grant and that means that a dollar donation becomes two, a $50 donation becomes a hundred, a thousand dollar donation becomes two thousand. So would you join with us today if you feel what we're saying is important. Maybe you're unable to commit to be a monthly supporter but you feel what we're saying is important. You want to help us get this message out. You believe it's important to reach out to the Jewish people with the good news of Jesus the Messiah while also standing against the rising tide of anti-Semitism. You believe it's important that the church leads the way in moral cultural transformation without getting politically obsessed. You believe that revival has to start among us God's people and you feel that the way we're getting the message out speaks for you, represents your voice just in a way that you can stand behind. This is a great time to get behind us friends. We are making a difference literally around the world by God's grace. Any good that comes out of this ministry is to his glory and his credit alone but we get to do this together.

So one time gift is doubled this month. Go to thelineoffire.org. Thelineoffire.org.

Just click donate one time. All right thelineoffire.org. Stand with us and as we're stepping through some of these doors by faith because it takes several years to build up support with each new radio station you take on.

Those of you standing with us today you help help us get a jump start going out of the gate. Okay so let's let's look at what the New Testament actually says. Does the New Testament say that all Jews through all time are guilty of killing Jesus? Obviously not because the New Testament is addressing people that were alive at that time. Does the New Testament indicate that all Jews were guilty of the death of Jesus in the days of Jesus?

Obviously not as it speaks of of large Jewish crowds following Jesus, of the Jewish leaders being afraid of the crowds because they held that Jesus was a prophet and that all the first followers of Jesus were Jews with multitudes of tens of thousands of Jewish followers of Jesus in the time of the book of Acts by the time you get to Acts 21. So under no circumstances is the New Testament teaching that all Jews in Jesus' day were guilty of crucifying Jesus but rather that the nation as a whole bears corporate responsibility because of the acts of the leaders as is common in biblical speech. So Acts 2 36 Peter preaching to a Jewish crowd says that all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ this Jesus whom you crucify. So he's speaking to the Jewish people, he's speaking to the house of Israel and saying you're guilty of rejecting him.

You as a people are guilty of rejecting him and therefore because of the actions of the national leaders therefore you must repent. That's a New Testament statement. Yes Acts 3 13 to 15 again Peter preaching to a Jewish crowd in Jerusalem. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers glorified his servant Jesus whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate when he had decided to release him. But you denied the holy and righteous one and asked for a murderer to be granted to you and you killed the author of life whom God raised from the dead to the spirit of God raised from the dead to this rear witnesses. So he's telling his people corporately you killed the author of life why because the Jewish leadership was guilty of turning Jesus over to the Romans to be crucified. And then Paul writes this 1 Thessalonians 2 verses 14 to 16 right into gentile Christians in Thessalonica. For you brothers became imitators of the churches of God and Christ Jesus that are in Judea for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and drove us out and displeased God and opposed all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the gentiles that they might be saved so as to always fill up the measure of their sins but wrath has come upon them at last. This is taken by Christian anti-Semites to mean that the Jews meaning all Jews are complicit in killing Jesus and the prophets and driving out the apostles and that the Jews as a whole right to this moment displease God and oppose all mankind. I even had Catholic anti-Semite Michael Jones basically make that very statement on my radio show. Well let's unpack that verse. Again I remind you of the fact that other verses in the New Testament about Jewish guilt and the death of Jesus hold the leadership responsible and therefore the nation as a whole is responsible for the acts of the leaders and shares in the guilt which is why judgment fell on the nation as a whole and the temple was destroyed in the year 70. There was national guilt. It never implies suggest at any level that all Jews were guilty of the death of Jesus obviously because Peter, Paul these are Jewish followers of Jesus the disciples were all all the disciples the 120 in the upper room the 500 that saw Jesus after he rose they're all Jews they're all Jews and again Matthew 21 verse 43 is often taken as saying that God is now replacing the Jewish people with Gentiles with the church because it says that God has taken the Kingdom from you Jesus says this and given it to a people bearing its fruit but then if you keep reading it says the chief priests of the Pharisees realized that this was being spoken about them about them it was the corrupt leadership but they were afraid of the people who the Jewish people who held that Jesus was a prophet he said yeah but what about Matthew 27 when the Jewish crowd says his blood be upon us yeah a crowd of Jews incited by the leaders said we take responsibility for his death let his blood be on us and our children we take responsibility for his death that does not indict every Jew through the world in that day of being guilty a Jewish crowd several hundred people we don't know the numbers exactly a Jewish crowd in Jerusalem it cannot now invoke the guilt of the entire nation how based on what the scripture based on what scriptural logic impossible of course not nor can they invoke this guilt on all Jews through history they say we take responsibility let the judgment fall on us and our children which it did did fall on them and it did fall on their children but what about first Thessalonians 2 I'm going to read it to you from a modified tree of life translation by modified I changed a few words so it reads in a way that would be a little bit more familiar all right but otherwise accurately conveying what the Greek is saying this is what Paul writes to the Thessalonians for you brothers and sisters became imitators of God's communities in Christ Jesus that are in Judea right so other translations saying churches it's the congregations right it's speaking of messianic Jewish believers in Judea for you brothers and sisters became imitators of God's communities in Messiah Jesus that are in Judea for you suffered the same things at the hands of your own countrymen as they did from the Judean leaders or simply the Judeans speaking of the Jews of Judah who are guilty of these acts so you're reading it in Greek okay the word for for Jew in the New Testament is literally Judean so you're reading it in Greek and it says hey you're suffering the same thing that the Jewish believers in in Judea suffered from from the Judeans from their own Jewish people in Judea that's all it's saying is that a statement about all Jews for all time so let me keep reading I'll start again for you brothers and sisters became imitators of God's communities in Messiah Jesus that are in Judea for you suffered the same things at the hands of your own countrymen as they did from the Judean leaders or simply the Judeans who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and drove us out they mean the same trouble making Judean leaders who rejected Jesus and the prophets and the prophets and apostles he said are not pleasing to God and hostile to all people hindering us from speaking to the gentiles so that they might be saved as a result they constantly fill up the measure of their sins but wrath has come upon them at last it's not speaking of all Jews of all time obviously not not all Jews of all time opposed the apostles this is the Jews in Judea these bad apples these troublemakers who were guilty of what killing Jesus they were guilty of killing the prophets that he sent they were guilty of driving us out the apostles and now they're trying to stop us from speaking to gentiles these these are bad apples these particular Jews of Judah these particular Judeans or specifically Judean leaders as as the term Eudaea can also mean in Greek Eudaios they are bad apples they are bad people they are sinners they are wicked and God's judgment has come upon them at the last that's it's that's all it's saying and Paul saying hey you suffered the same thing for your countrymen as we did from ours we suffered that in Judea and these kind of things coming after us and we know for example Thessalonica Jews there stirred up trouble for Paul then they went elsewhere to stir up trouble for Paul those those are the people he's talking about the the trouble making Jews the the Jews who were complicit in the death of Jesus those are the very same ones now read into the book of acts the very same Jewish leaders who gave Jesus over to be crucified now persecute the apostles now go after the the prophets in the early church just as Jesus said what happened I'm going to send you prophets I'm going to send your apostles you're going to persecute them he did that and they did that that's all that's being spoken about end of subject now here's the deal is it anti-is it anti-semitic to quote these passages no does the house bill say you can't quote these passages no does the house bill say a word about history here no not a syllable what it says is it is anti-semitic to take these charges that the Jews killed Jesus and now apply them to Israel as a whole today or Israeli individual Israelis that you are all Christ killers or the nation of Israel today is a Christ killing nation that is anti-semitism and that's what the bill is against it's have you had a setback from an injury accident or surgery that left you feeling weaker and a loss

broadcast this is michael brown always blessed to have this time with you it is thoroughly jewish thursday okay a few more comments on the campus protests that continue to spread across america number one i do not believe for a split second that suddenly there has been a massive wave of pro-palestinian sympathy across campuses of america and that thousands and thousands of students now really really care about the well-being of the palestinians i don't believe that for a split second for sure there are muslim students who over the years have cavity concern about the plight of the palestinian people and they are part of some of these protests i get that and there may be even jewish students among them joining in protests or wanting to unless they're forbidden from it who say they don't agree with israel's war in gaza the way it's being carried out etc i i get that and and some other non-jews muslims that may have some concerns but i do not believe for a split second that suddenly we care about the palestinian people we won most people couldn't even identify the issues and when they're chanting from the river to the sea palestine will be free they don't even know what river and what sea they don't even know what they are chanting and look when there are these blm riots and marches all around the world a few years ago after the killing of george floyd i didn't believe for a second that suddenly people all around the world were concerned about african-americans were concerned about police brutality no i don't believe that they were concerned it was just some some for sure some okay but the thing that was driving it is bigger it's this raging against the machine it's it's pushing back against the man it's no to the status quo it's it's it's part of just a larger uprising mentality or revolution for revolution's sake you know when i got caught up in the whole ideology of the counterculture 60s and the anti-war movement on the one hand i was not raised in a home my mom and dad served in the military in world war ii but i was not raised in a home where you're taught you know it's your patriotic duty to go in the army or something like that and the idea of a draft mandatory draft where i turn 18 and i'm going to end up in in in vietnam in a war that i didn't want that but the larger ideology anti-war i didn't i didn't know why i was anti-war because the larger ideologies we got caught up in that whole thing you know and that was that was the protest against the older generation so a lot of what's happening now is just the protest movement and the credible sources will point a lot of it back to money from george soros himself a a radical leftist american jew a hungarian origin but american jew for for decades and his open society and wanting to undermine many of the foundations of democracy in america and around the world there can be exaggerated credit given to soros in terms of the evil things that he allegedly produces but he's certainly involved in tons of causes that that we as followers of jesus and conservative valued people would would militantly oppose and and helping some of the most radical people in america get elected helping bills get passed etc so you don't you don't want to exaggerate his role but you don't want to diminish it either so a lot of the protest is just the standard pay a protester thing and and now it spreads from campus to campus or your standard organizers that are involved in other campus protests now they're helping spread this uh from place to place and then a lot of it ties in with a larger spirit of anti-semitism a lot of it ties in with a larger spirit of jew hatred and i'm not finding anti-semitism under every rock and accusing every person as an issue with israel today of being an anti-semite no you can fairly criticize israel as a friend of israel you can take issue with things individual jews do and uh as as just as other people that's not the issue the issue again is is demonizing the issue again is is false caricatures etc and broad brushing in ugly ways so there is no question that behind these these rallies is an anti-semitic spirit that is not just pro-palestinian it is pro hamas you have to understand that and and america is a friend of israel or part of the establishment also comes out as the bad guy hence trying to replace the american flag on campuses in america with the palestinian flag or defacing a george washington statue or defacing a and putting a palestinian flag there or kafia you know the the the the well-known look of the kamash terrorists or the plo uh militants etc you know the scarf so uh you have to look at what's really behind it there's something larger there's something bigger going on it's not just sympathy for palestinians which some protesters have but if it was just a humanity-based thing where is all the sympathy for the israelis on october 7th why did that disappear so quickly why was it never there in the first place why weren't these same people all over the nation raising their voices and and saying to america uh you must put pressure on hamas right now and and they must be branded in the strongest ways is pariahs and we've got to do everything to stand with israel to take them down no you didn't hear that and and where are all the protests on behalf of the the hostages where where's all the humanity where all the bleeding hearts speaking out on behalf of the hostages we're not seeing that you have to realize kamos is rightly characterized as a terrorist group kamos's initial charter stood for the annihilation of the jewish people in israel they either must be expelled or killed so they say no we're not attacking jews worldwide but those living in israel and they've made clear it's not about a two-stage solution some of the protesters have made that clear there was a protest in vancouver a few days ago in canada and one of the protesters said one of the organizers this is not a struggle that goes back 70 years this is a struggle that goes back over a hundred years and it's quoting basically verbatim from a document that hamas put out after october 7th downplaying the atrocities and and saying that there was some civilians hurt but that was by mistake so downplaying the barbaric things they did initially there was a lot of celebration and a lot of body cam stuff being shown and look at what we did and and and all that and and i had to pull that plug pretty quickly because of the the international shock over what happened which then quickly faded in the name of pro-palestinian and pro-kamos rallies and by october 10th so three days after the massacre october 10th and before israel launched any type of major offensive the muslims in sydney australia at the opera house were already chanting gas the jews so hamas puts out a document saying no this does not just go back 70 years this struggle goes back 120 years and a protest leader in vancouver quoted the document verbatim friends verbatim if you're missing any of this if if you haven't seen my articles on this by all all means sign up for emails today we're putting out such

letting you know here the latest articles and videos we put out and we have been hammering these issues about what's happening on the campuses and how the campuses themselves are fostering anti-semitism cultivating anti-semitism by their rhetoric by their marxist ideology one of the columbia university professor excuse me protesters is doing her doctoral dissertation as a pro-marxist doctoral dissertation so that it's israel the colonizer versus the oppressed colonized people it's america the colonizer versus the oppressed native americans so these are the pictures being painted the palestinians become the native americans the israeli settlers become the americans slaveholders it is the occupiers against the occupied the colonizers against the the colonized the the oppressors against the oppressed this ideology is cultivated and the ultimate expression i've said this before but i want to say it again in their eyes the ultimate expression of the evil colonizer of the oppressor class is the zionist characterized as a white supremacist jew that is the way that this is viewed friends and this is cultivated on our college campuses and you add in other aspects of islamic anti-semitism in the mix and there you have something very toxic and then you add in aspects of historic christian anti-semitism which continue to raise their their heads today and boom there
