"So if you're the kind of person who wants to learn, understand, and dive deeper into Israel, then join us on our journey as we pose 18 pressing questions to the 40 Israeli journalists, scholars, and religious thinkers you need to hear from today."

"I know from a lot of Israelis who over the years went to J Street conferences, they would come back appalled that anything anti-Israel you would say would get tremendous applause. But there was nothing in the conference about great things that Israel's doing, showcasing good things about Israel, and that if they said good things about it, it would never get applause."

"Now they're even going to use the term Holocaust. If you're in America in 2020, they'll put white supremacy. So since October 7th, a new placard appeared, and it reads as follows. It says, keep the world clean. And it has an image of a Star of David in a trash bin. And that is the logical conclusion of this policy. If you are going to equate Israel, Zionism, and the Star of David with all that is evil in the world, because the words are not chosen because they have any relation to reality. They're almost always the opposite of reality. They're chosen because they're synonyms for evil. And if you create a 360 situation, academia, international organizations, journalism, media, social media, placards, everywhere, people hear that Israel, Zionism, Star of David equals evil. Then the logical conclusion is to rid the world of that evil by any means necessary, which is also what we've seen much more after October 7th. What has been Israel's greatest success and greatest mistake in the current war against Hamas? The greatest success has been Israel's internal mobilization. I think for years, people thought that Israelis are too tired, exhausted, too soft to sacrifice for our existence here as a sovereign people. I think that no one thinks that anymore. The greatest failure has been the total conduct of the war. We have, I wrote about it, our leadership caved in on four issues. The first four issues that were crucial to our ability to win and therefore have deprived us of that, covering it with empty- Which four issues are you- I'll say in a minute. And they insisted on one issue, which was really stupid. So the four issues that they caved in, the first, they agreed to collaborate in the lie that Hamas doesn't represent the Palestinians. When President Biden came here a few days after October 7th- That's right. We thought we would be slaughtered from every direction. People now try to downplay it, but we were incredibly close to annihilation. If you look at Sinoir's plan, it was very well thought of. Gaza, then had Hezbollah launched what we now know they had, supported by Iran, having the Arabs of the West Bank, maybe even the Arabs within Israel rise up, we would have been slaughtered. It really meant a lot for America to send its aircraft carriers, for the American president to be here, to give a speech about the evil that was unleashed."

"I've called it for many years the placard strategy, because you see it more easily on placards and anti-Israel demonstrations. Those placards are ingeniously built as equations that say Israel, Zionism, sometimes they just draw the Star of David, equals."

"And the placard strategy has been so successful that it's become more open, more confident, more confident, more open, more open, more open, more open, more open, more open, more open, more open. In many ways, it is now openly expressing its ultimate conclusion. I've called it for many years the placard strategy, because you see it more easily on placards and anti-Israel demonstrations. Those placards are ingeniously built as equations that say Israel, Zionism, sometimes they just draw the Star of David, equals. And the placard strategy has been so successful that it's become more open, more confident, more powerful, that everyone knows what's on the other side of the equation. And it's never Israel, Zionism is the political movement for the liberation and self-determination of the Jewish people in their ancient homeland. Granted, a long placard, but that's not what you see. The strategy has been so effective that everyone knows what's on the other side of the equation sign. Israel, Zionism, Star of David, equals, colonialism, imperialism, racism, apartheid, then it escalates, genocide, Nazism. Now they're even going to use the term Holocaust. If you're in America in 2020, they'll put white supremacy."
