420 word summary
The speaker discusses the long history of the left's war on Israel, highlighting the support given by communist countries and radical leftists to enemies of Israel, such as Arab dictatorships, Palestinian groups, and anti-Israel terrorists in Western Europe. The speaker argues that understanding this history is important because it reveals the true nature and identity of the left.
The speaker briefly provides a crash course on the history of Israel, starting from 1947 when the United Nations proposed a partition plan that gave the Jews a smaller portion of land than originally promised. The Arabs reacted by launching a war to destroy Israel, but Israel managed to survive and win. The speaker then explains how the Arab states organized themselves under the idea of pan-Arabism and received support from the Soviet Union. Israel faced attacks from the Arab states in 1956 and 1967 but managed to defeat them.
The speaker emphasizes that throughout these existential threats, Israel has maintained its identity as a country that respects individual rights and has a rule of law. The Arab states, on the other hand, have fallen into various forms of authoritarianism. The speaker questions why the left supports the Arabs despite their disregard for the values the left claims to uphold, such as democracy, secularism, workers' rights, women's rights, and diversity. The speaker suggests that the left's support for the Arabs stems from envy and a desire to see Israel weakened or destroyed.
The speaker addresses common criticisms of Israel, such as accusations of apartheid and settler violence. The speaker dismisses these claims, arguing that Israel is not an apartheid state and that settler violence is not representative of the entire Israeli population. The speaker also discusses the British government's Balfour Declaration in 1917, which supported Jewish immigration to Palestine, but notes that it did not come to fruition.
During the Q&A session, the speaker responds to questions about the peaceful intentions of Palestinians, the support of American Jews for the left, and the role of envy in the left's war on Israel. The speaker suggests that while there may be Palestinians who desire peace, there is evidence to suggest that many support Hamas and other extremist groups. The speaker also suggests that American Jews may support the left due to a misguided sense of morality and a desire to be seen as good people. Finally, the speaker clarifies that the envy motivating the left is not about wanting what Israel has, but rather a hatred of Israel for being successful and good.
