      Please don't distort history. They went to the Arab Maghreb countries after what happened in the Spanish Inquisition and were very well treated there. Ask any Moroccan Jew. Watch King Hassan II of Morocco speak to Moroccan Jews at a reception they had arranged for him in New York City. Now Americans they had nothing but kind words for him and Morocco.@@deborahfreedman333

    Contempt for everyone who is not within the elite and hatred of America - taught at the elite universities. Absolutely spot on. Regretfully, I am a recipient of their sheepskins. Thankfully, I escaped and deprogrammed myself, mainly by associating with the subjects of this disdain who were brighter, more productive, and better people than most people whom I encountered at the universities. Our friends are in the heartland, in most of Upstate NY, and what remains of normal America. Thank you Batya for letting everyone know!

      Trump doesn’t care for Israel or anyone else if it doesn’t benefit him. Also do you realize Trumps supporters are a huge percentage of white supremacists, white nationalists and far rt militias. Sorry young lady but your totally wrong not only about President Biden but your totally uninformed about what Trump has done to America! He will throw you under the bus just like he’s done to everyone. Wow! Listening to you you really don’t understand the Republican Party of today! Your betting on Trump when America has to worry about also protecting our democracy. Womens rights, civil rights! Your talking about hating America yourself without understanding what is happening in America since Trump! I’m 100 % for Israel but you don’t know what your talking about. Your description of President Biden is so off the mark I really think you need to start paying some attention to what exactly happening in America.

      If conservatives values are supporting someone with no morales or values like Trump then there is a bigger problem in the US then I already know about. Again Biden has always supported Israel 100%. Because of the way news about Gaza is distributed here Biden more or less had to address the false figures coming out of Gaza, in the end he will stand with Israel.

    Batya Ungar-Sargon used to be a regular on Raising. Briahna Joy Gray has become very acerbic on the issue of Israel and Palestine. Has Batya not been on since Oct 7th because of her stance? She also has not been on Breaking Points with Krystal Ball and Sagar, coincidence? Will that limit her ability to promote her new book, "Second Class?"

But Batya has too much integrity to do the same thing in the opposite. Good for her! 🇮🇱

    20:15 "There's been a complete realignment." Or, a course correction. Remember, the Republican Party (mostly Northerners) was formed in 1860 as the anti-slavery party. They were responsible for passing the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery and the 15th Amendment, giving black men the right to vote. On the other hand, the Democratic Party (mostly Southerners) were responsible for the KKK.

      Read select chapters in Karen Armstrong's book A History of God to see how, while tolerant, the Jewish experience in the Dutch Republic included a heavy undercurrent of anxiety.
      My best friend lives there now for three decades or more, not Jewish, and sees the Dutch even now as claiming (independent of religious issues) to be tolerant, but not really so open minded and limber as they imagine themselves.

    Why do you think Democrats are so bad? I'm a democrat, & I can assure you that I'm not trying to control underlings.
    I have no underlings.
    I just tend to think that Republicans identify with the rich, typically (not counting my husband), and have NO CLUE what most people must experience.
    I think you're really alienating a lot of people, in not liking democrats. I'm watching this because I like Oren of travelingisrael, and I support Israel over animals ( not that all Palestinians are animals---- I think probably most of the women are good).
    I love this little Palestinian girl, Sham, though. She reminds me of my sister, after our father died. I've been commenting that I think she needs to be saved. She's more like you, than them. She says her mother is out of the country, but I'm not sure of the situation. I know this sounds crazy, but you could do this, for Sham, through your Palestinian friends. In the peace talks, can they get it agreed upon that they are offering Sham a part in a re-make of "Family Affair", as Buffy? She would be So Great in that part, and it would keep her self-confidence going. You can tell she's bright, and really special. She's in the CZcams shorts. She needs help, and she could get this help through her role as Buffy ( whose parents are dead, and she's living with Sissy, Jody, & Uncle Bill). Your Palestinian friends can help you save this one, and she'll help save other Palestinian women from what I see as the slavery of women.

By omitting a few words of his quote..the meaning is completely changed.
