I love Ben Shapiro. There, I said it. I’ve been watching him more since October 7. He is a fucking rock star, a hero, and I hope to have one tiny fraction of his ability to debate one day. Ben Shapiro, you’re my hero. Hey that rhymes.
It used to be I’d watch him dismantle trans talking points and it was so fucking satisfying. Now though, he’s debating pro-Palestine college students at Oxford and Cambridge. The Cambridge video starts out about climate change but switches to Palestine at the very end. It’s a sight to behold.
These young fucktards have no idea what they are rooting for. I’m not a scholar but it does not take long to learn the broad strokes—Israel is NOT a settler-colonial colonizing occupying apartheid ghoul. Mkay? And all the sources that tell you otherwise are propaganda. Just like trans. Just like BLM. Just like any social justice movement that would scream at you on the street or on X telling you to fuck off, you bigot TERF genocidal whore.
One of the best articles I came across was from Fathom. I found it after watching a video short of Seth Rogan telling Marc Maron that he’d been “fed lies” about Israel all his life. Poor Seth had been hoodwinked to believe that Israel was good, but now he knew that Israel was BAD. Ew Israel. I’d never live there, would you? No way! Islamic extremists surely jizzed themselves over such a flashy win.
A couple of quotes from the Alan Johnson article explain the critically bereft SJW take on Palestine:
The new thing is to think of Israel as a ‘settler-colonial society’ like America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The Jews are cast as the ‘white’ settler-colonialists and the Palestinians are given the role of the ‘black’ indigenous. And now it’s all so easy to grasp! The Israel-Palestine conflict is just like Derek Chauvin and George Floyd! The racist white European colonialist Jews, we are told, ‘invaded’ Palestine, a foreign land to them, and they collectively knelt on the neck of the ‘indigenous’ Arabs. Israel is, therefore, a ‘settler colonial society’ and so has no right to exist.
And what’s wrong with this new ‘settler colonialism’ paradigm? Oh, pretty much everything.
And:
To call Jews who fled an antisemitic Europe or staggered out of Auschwitz, propping up their skeletal bodies on one another, ‘racist settler colonialists’ is obscene.
As for the origins of the “Israel equals big bad oppressor,” this video explains how in 1967 the Israel narrative became what it is today, aided and abetted by who else? The Soviet Union.
The best thing about the idiotic social justice movement is that people like me, who never before gave a flying fuck about politics or the Middle East, can quickly catch up and understand the current insanity taking over the world. The whole reason I care so much now is because of my kids—my daughter who has been identifying as a gay man since her sophomore year—whose flag means (Jewish) death—and my son who allies himself with every social justice cause, and who believes he’s losing me to the “evil” likes of Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro and the Republican party.
Spolier alert: he’s not! But—I am afraid of losing him to the pro-Palestinian cause, or just to the general mind-virus of the woke Left that I unwittingly and regretfully spoon-fed him years ago. And so I arm myself with knowledge for the day that we actually discuss it, should it come to pass.
In summation, Seth Rogan, Marc Maron oh and let’s throw in droopy, drippy Gabor Maté—that pancake batter-faced expert on all things Trauma—the psychologist that many ROGD parents look to for help in parenting their gender-confused children, the Hungarian-born Holocaust survivor… The three of these sad clowns are self-hating Jews, apologists bowing and scraping for antisemites and terrorists, shitting propaganda out of their face holes and generally helping to destroy Western civilization from the inside. Mazel tov guys. You’re all fucking idiots.
41 days sober today!
L’chaim!

Great post - I always love the number of links you include. I do feel betrayed by gabor. How can people be so ignorant and so blind is one question. But how can Jewish people? I can’t fathom it. I had a discussion with a friends daughter back around May in Israel/Palestine and I was so shocked by her comments - which are now parroted everywhere. Clearly I was living under a rock. I’m not sure what has shocked me more - my initial conversation with her or learning that millions of people believe such simplistic crap that is so obviously nonsensical. TFP has a interesting graph up in their tgif post of how opinion has swung on social media since 7-Oct.
congrats on days sober - well done!!!!!
Can we please be friends?
