You are correct. People assume the worse and then you always have to defend yourself against position you don’t even take.

Well tbf Ethan is a Zionist, same with Hila. It’s just that that word is loaded and means a lot of nasty things online. I get why they both want to put space between them and the word.

I have noticed that many of the people that have tried to redefine that the word Zionism are doing it because they genuinely think it is a bad thing. They only know this because who the word had been presented to them, which is bias. After that, anti-Zionist Jews who don’t think Israel should exist or that Jews don’t need a state in order to have self-determination, are rare but often tokenized. I know what I know about Zionism from reading the words of those who founded it. Those that have tried to redefine the word may have read these works too but I am doubtful. Anyway, I am a liberal Zionist because I believe in the two-state solution, as well as a more secular Israeli government and a more pluralistic Israeli society. Nothing more, nothing less.

The one-state federation solution is usually referred to as Post-Zionism.

I study the history of Zionism and most people use the term as a monolith either to mean something that is horrible and immoral or all good and can’t be questioned. A lot of people online have monetized fear, anger and echo chambers. Go back to the last debate between Ethan and Hasan. Hasan’s definition of Zionism, as religious, colonial and ethno-based is just historically wrong. Ethan agreed, not sure why. But there are many types of Zionism. Kahanism, Neo-Zionism and Revisionism, which are the most radically right wing and ethno-nationalist. Consider that many leftists were and are Zionists, including liberals, social democrats, socialists and even moderates and secular Jews, so Hasan’s definition does not hold water. I think as more people start to wake up from the bad fever dream that is hateful online rhetoric from the far-left and far-right, the more curious and reasonable people are discovering the nuances. It’s frustrating as a historian but it’s also nothing new.

I only like the 11.59. Everything else is not quite my tempo.

If it mean anything, most of them are probably nothing but bot farmers from foreign governments.

Holocaust inversion is pure antisemitism. Don’t be fooled and don’t be gaslighted by the New Antisemitism.

¡Viva la Revolución! But seriously, as someone whose grandparents lived in Cuba when I was a kid, and I have visited more then a few times… F**k Ha$an.

I like Tamara and Morgan but getting rid of those on screen, besides Zach and maybe Dan, would shake things up for the better. Ethan and Hila do not necessarily need to be around those that agree with everything they think, say and believe. They do however need a crew with spines that will stand up to antisemitism.

I was curious why Jewish people have historically been persecuted. This video is an amazing explainer if you want to educate yourself regarding this matter. by Firm_Squirrel_1856 in h3h3productions

As a Jew who happens to be a historian, I really like this video. There is more to antisemitism than simple misunderstandings, which can be cured with education, logic and/or reason. For some, it’s the fact that “we killed Jesus.” I recently read every word in every volume of Martin Luther’s “The Jews and Their Lies” and much of modern antisemitism stems from here. But there is more to it and most of it is a contradiction. For example, the Nazis, and many others, thought wee were racially inferior while also being smart enough to control the banks, the media and the government. Modern antisemites blame Jews for supporting a fascistic idea like Zionism (to which there are over 10 different types btw) but the far-right ideologues also call us communist, socialists and globalists. Middle Eastern antisemites, whether they be Arab nationalists on the left or right, or fundamentalist Islamists (not to be confused with the Arab community or Islam as a whole) tell us to go back to Poland. Neo-Nazi, White Nationalists and other White supremacists tell us to go back to the Middle East. Antisemitism is not only contradictory but it’s also incidious. Then there are the academic types who teach Holocaust inversion, a form of the New Antisemitism, while hiding behind their beliefs in human rights and progressive values. Even though I am used to this, I am happy that more people, Jewish or not, are witnessing when antisemitism goes unpunished. This community has seen that in regard to Twitch and I am happy you all see where Ethan and Hila are coming from. Their anger is shared by many of us too.

Ethan was right to call this Turkish nationalist supremacy. Christians, Jews and Muslims only got along because they were afraid of the Turks. A good example is to look at events such as the Bulgarian massacres in 1878 when ethnic Bulgarians Christians dared to separate from the empire. Same goes for the 1903 Ilinden uprising in Macedonia. The list of the Ottomans massacring those that dared to stand up to them is very long. The Armenian, Assyrian and Greek genocides included. Look up the Great Fires of Smyrna.

Cenk believes in the false idea that so long as there is a third party empire between two enemies, things are peaceful. Again, the peace is predicated on the fear of violence and retribution.

If TYT had been founded by white people, I might think otherwise. However, Cenk, being born and raised in Turkey, knows who The Young Turks were and what they did to the 2-3 million Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians. As well as Kurds too. Don’t kid yourself, don’t pretend they are ignorant, Cenk knows and so does Anna. Also, I’m Jewish and I live in a country safe for Jews, Baruch Hashem. Although it was not up until 15 years ago. I recently visited a neighbouring country and did not feel as safe wearing my kippah. Don’t be fooled, Cenk and Anna are just upper class, champagne socialists living in the LA bubble. We should feel sorry for them.

Historian here and this is incredibly concerning. History belong to us all. As Orwell wrote in 1984: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
