Because of your podcast, I learned about Levy. I have used that info to make fun of him when I see him mentioned in a story or in comments. Thank you, Viewer and missionary

I'm with Daniel, trying to shoehorn Israel into a white supremacist framework is unhelpful, confusing, and largely incorrect. I'd go so far as to say that what Israel has done in this century is worse than white supremacy in the U.S. Like, your average IDF soldier is less moral than your standard American Nazi.

If a progressive tried to quibble with me about the finer points of Jewish Supremacy and avoiding the appearance of antisemitism, Eli Roth could make a horror movie about the aftermath.

Quick rejoinder to what Daniel says around the 33 minute mark: a communist isn't going to be bringing in the income, I can't think of a single example of a Marxist-Leninist being elevated to the heights of monetizable media popularity. Now, progressives (whatever that means) and anarchists, on the other hand... honestly, I doubt the gatekeepers would even allow a militant trade unionist to sneak past.

Joseph Stalin suggested executing 50,000 of the highest ranking Nazis to set an example and I wholeheartedly believe that sort of approach would be justified in rare situations like this.

Getting Jews out of the USSR was a brilliant and obnoxious piece of western propaganda that simultaneously bolstered Israel while denigrating the Soviets.
