00:00So, for instance, somebody will say the dissolution of the state of Israel is an anti-Semitic.
00:04But then when you ask them what that means, they'll say, well, it should be a single state where Jews are a super minority in the region.
00:11And then when you ask them, OK, well, no, it should be a state where all human beings have people rights, regardless.
00:16Just a moment. I want to I want to turn this over.
00:18Just to be clear, though, that would be a Jewish minority, though.
00:20That would be a Jewish minority.
00:21But like in the U.S., like in the U.S., Destiny, let's just be honest.
00:25But the United States, though, but the United States isn't full of people that have spent the entirety of the last 100 years attacking Jews the same way that the Arab states have.
00:33Right. I'm sorry. No, that's factually incorrect.
00:38Which part of that was factually incorrect?
00:40When Jewish immigrants started coming from Europe, they were welcomed with open arms by people like my grandparents, who were then ethnically cleansed, as you know, the Neckba in 1948.
00:49So they weren't always with open arms. There were times where they were welcome.
00:52And then there were times where as early as 1920 in Iran, there was a massacre of Jewish people.
00:57These happened all across the Palestinian mandate.
01:00There was a reason why. In 47, the whole reason why Israel eventually became independent, it was coming anyway, was because all of the Palestinians there tried to do a civil war and lost.
01:10And then all the Arab states joined in war and lost.
01:12I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Destiny.
01:13In 48 and in 67 and 73, there was a massive exodus of Jews from all of the surrounding Arab countries because of their pogroms, because of other types of discrimination that Jews were facing due to Israel.
01:24This is this is basic history. Of course, Palestinians will rewrite the history here.
01:28No, it matters.
01:29Palestinians are not that we should be deporting people from the Arab states because of these viewpoints.
01:32It's just a certain.
