I’m no fan of Ben Shapiro, quite the opposite. But I really admire the strong stand he’s taken on antisemitism in America. This was a wonderful interview, Batya! Antisemitism on the right has been rolled back to the point it’s not a big issue anymore. Thomas Massie and MTG are gone, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens have been ostracized, Nick Fuentes left the GOP to join the Democratic Party, and the MAGA coalition are firmly behind Israel. It’s the left whom have a big problem with antisemitism. This isn’t your grandfather’s Democratic Party anymore people! Now they run ex-Nazis like Graham Platner and sex therapists who want to put Zionists in concentration camps. Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson wouldn’t recognize the Democratic Party of today. Jews have long for the most part aligned with the Democratic Party and the left. Now, both have betrayed them. Jews were active in the Civil Rights, Women’s Liberation, Gay Rights, and Disability Rights Movements. American Jews wrote the New Deal. Most Jews have voted overwhelmingly Democratic for decades. But the Democrats and the left turned on Israel in 1967 when Israel had the audacity to win the Six-Day War, recapture territory that rightly belonged to them and become a regional power. If Jews aren’t victims, they aren’t any good to the Democratic Party or to the left.
Jews are 100% American and have been with since the 1600s. Haym Salomon, Irving Berlin, Norman Mailer, Stan Lee, Bernie Sanders, Milton Friedman, Danny Kaye, Kirk Douglas, Abraham Ribicroff, Jacob Javits, Betty Friedan, Joe Lieberman, Levi Strauss, Albert Einstein, Dr. Jonas Salk, Louis Brandeis, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Steven Spielberg, Bob Dylan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Bob Kane, Jack Kirby, Sandy Koufax, Hank Greenberg, Emma Goldman, Emma Lazarus, Robert and Richard Sherman, J.D. Salinger, Mel Brooks, David “Mickey” Marcus, Henry Kissinger, Paul Wellstone, Stanley Kubrick, the Marx Brothers, and Jerry Lewis are just a FEW of the Jewish individuals who’ve helped make America the great and special nation it is! If the Democrats and the left can’t appreciate and protect the American Jewish community, they don’t deserve to have them as part of their party!
Batya, this was such an important segment on your show last night. Ben Shapiro has the gift of really explaining somewhat tangled and complicated issues into very simple terms. My mother and I actually paused a few times as we were watching because Ben was talking too fast for her too drink in everything he was saying and she wanted to hear every bit of his explanation 🤣She too is just so appalled by what is going on right now. She was a lifelong Democrat who left the party last year at age 83. We are not Jewish but I don't think you need to be Jewish to realize how disgusting and abhorrent all this has become. I look forward to reading your book! I've ordered a hard copy and the audio because I like to read and listen to a lot of my books... read a little and then continue
reading while cooking and doing chores by reading with my ears 😃
I’m right there with you and your mom. I can’t believe that the public would ever vote for one of these democrats right now. I’m just appalled that our people think this behavior is acceptable.
I’m secretly hoping that all the news channels are lying and people are disgusted enough to make sure there is no blue wave in the mid terms. 🤯
He didn't really explain why the Left turned on the Jews, though. I would suggest the reason is the Left simply doesn't need the Jews anymore, and they are more useful as a boogeyman than as a partner.
You may be right but he still very nicely explained the evolution of the word Zionist and the connection to Israel and antisemitism. My mother was very interested in this explanation because as an 84 year old life long Democrat who recently left the party, she is flabbergasted at the antisemitism.
Your book arrives Tuesday. I am ready for it! For now, my theory is that the Left, in order to continually foment radical change, must, by definition, embrace groups it can designate as losers in the current order. That ain’t Israel. It’s not “the Jews.”
Watch the film The Sunshine Family it explains it all & in 2020 I wrote to the ADL to ask why they ignored left wing violence - & - concentrated only on the right wing

Batya, I am an American Christian. I hope and pray that we can live up to the faith in us that you so movingly expressed.

You are such a dear, Elizabeth. Thank you and big hug to your precious mama

Thank you Batya. I hope I could get the tangos with lyrics in Yiddish, but after years of unsuccess I only have two with their scores.
I can’t wait to read this! I am such a fan. You do great work Batya. Thank you. 😊
Ben Shapiro also has moral clarity in calling out antisemites like Tucker Carlson, who wants to ruin the Right by attacking Jews.

Come on, now. This is not the first time the left turned on the Jews. That's pretty much been their track record since 1917.
JINO's Jews in name only
