To any readers, we are Tired of all all the PROPAGANDA/BIAS/DOUBLE STANDARDS/GASLIGHTING??? we see it over and over and nothing changes. At the same time MANY ARE CLUELESS ABOUT WHATS GOING ON WHICH. So how can we INFORM THE UNINFORMED better?? Keep showing past lies/context/double standards/msm coverage on previous Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya/Syria wars.we NEED a independent platform something like a AP Archive/Wikipedia/KZbin combined!!!!! Something for uninformed people who can get as much context/proof as possible on one platform. Something that would be tough to censor (as social media continues to get censored and it will get worse with Trump/Zionist allies in office all over the world) and evade MSM as an alternative source showing all proof and as much context available about Palestine/Syria/Lebonan. We have to continue to inform the uninformed, can’t have the same ignorance we had during the Iraq/Afghanistan war, that ignorance is costing lives and time wasted. You’ll be shocked how uninformed people are, people have no clue how bad the atrocities happening in Gaza are and have been happening well before October 7th. They only see what msm shows them, headlines and Google/KZbin (which is already censoring content Palestine related, its only going to get worse with corporations, Trump and AI ), they’ll try their best to hide every atrocity in Gaza, if they have the audacity to purposely ethnically cleanse Gaza they will do everything to hide the proof. We need to show everything… Life in Palestine before 1948, the Nakba, everything before October 7th, all the rhetoric Israeli politicians spewed over the years, every double standard, every US politician double standard, every Company/CEO/politician that supports Israel and what they’ve done, every law passed the benefits Zionism, every war crime, every video of IDF soldiers filming themselves before and after oc 7th, every IDF power tripping video, EVERYTHING ARCHIVED. It'll make ICJ life easier and easier to inform people, when people want proof they can see as much proof as possible. Keeping track of every journalist, every MSM headline/video, every organization, politician, everything tracked. So lets say 10 years from now someone searched Piers Morgan/Ritchie Torres or a journalist they can see all the shit he’s said in podcasts/his own show/tweets all archived. Just want to spread this idea, I think if campuses/students/people got together and colloborated we can make it happen. Having everything together will show the full context and we gotta dispel every msm talking point: why don’t Egyptians or Jordanians take them? Because gazans don’t want to leave!!! Stop destroying their land on purpose. 2 million Palestinians already live in Jordan. This is what many uninformed people don’t understand and we have to show them as much context and proof as possible. We see now why the Nakba happened, what countries were complicit then? What Arab countries looked the other way back then? What countries genuinely tried? What celebrities grifted? what news host/journalist played the public back then like a Piers Morgan?? It would be cool to have an archive of as much context/history/proof as much as possible to understand that better? And see patterns that are happening now. Imagine if every student/organization/people journalists collectively worked on a platform together, can we inform the uninformed better and bypass msm. Many people are still uninformed. Imagine we had one like this for the Iraq war/Afghanistan war. It would wake people up to BS from MSM/politicians and it would help people see their agenda more clearly!!! Spreading this concept and having multiple platforms like this would be huge. How helpful would it have been if we can now see what MSM/politicians were saying about Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya back then? seeing the full context in hindsight? every segment/very headline/every politician supporting it? It would’ve been helpful to see patterns now. We know George Bush/Tony Blairs but we don’t know the politicians at the Ritchie Torres/Brian Mast level or even small time journalists that pushed it (who were probably promoted now for being complicit back then). We need our own platform with as much proof and context possible. Maybe a tagging system? not sure but want to get the ball rolling, even spreading this concept/idea will go a long way! Please guys share this idea/concept!?!? Encourage people to save and archive/document any proof/context they can find!! It’s crucial during this time!! Keep showing people things to look up or proof/context!!!! SAVE EVERYTHING YOU FIND!! it matters during this time!! Just encouraging people to do that is huge (we can’t assume they already do, always expect the worst case scenario) We simple can’t afford to have Iraq/Afghanistan war like ignorance, it’s costing thousands of lives. We need as much context/proof available when we look back!!! Even after all this so many people are going to be clueless/ignorant and when another situation happens, we can’t afford for people to be ignorant!

[@Muhammad-sx7wr]

Palestinians have more ancient hebrew DNA than do modern european jews. Genetic studies have explored the ancestral connections between modern Palestinians, European Jews, Israeli Jews, and the Kohanim lineage. These studies often focus on Y-chromosome haplogroups, which trace paternal lineage. Haplogroup J1 (J-M267): Palestinians: Approximately 38.4% of Palestinian Arabs carry the J1 haplogroup. Ashkenazi Jews: About 14.6% of Ashkenazi Jews possess this haplogroup. Sephardic Jews: Approximately 11.9% of Sephardic Jews have the J1 haplogroup. Kohanim Lineage: The Kohanim, a hereditary priestly class in Judaism, have been associated with a specific genetic signature within the J1 haplogroup, known as the Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH). Prevalence in Kohanim: Studies indicate that approximately 46.1% of Kohanim carry Y chromosomes belonging to a specific lineage within J1, suggesting a common paternal ancestor. Shared Ancestry: Research suggests a significant degree of shared ancestry between Jewish populations and Palestinian Arabs. A study found that a substantial portion of Y chromosomes in both Jewish men (70%) and Palestinian Muslim Arabs (82%) originate from the same ancestral gene pool, indicating common paternal ancestors from the region within the last few thousand years. Conclusion: While specific haplogroup frequencies vary among these groups, the presence of shared genetic markers points to a complex and intertwined ancestral history in the Middle East.

This interview is like a professor talking to teenager who saw couple of tiktok videos and thinks who know everything!

[@Izzy-mt2xm]

I’m a Muslim and have enjoyed listening to the Rabbi. But boy! Doesn’t this kid’s parents taught him to stay quiet when an older person is talking let alone he was interrupting with silly questions. Had to skip through the stick example instead of pulling my hair

[@johnm5556]

33:00 this is so painful to watch. I think Jake didn’t take any physics at school. I feel Like the rabbi is talking to a child. I’m sorry this is so painful to watch.

[@Monneez]

Jake is overly and unnecessarily argumentative. Your argumentative style made his explanations longer, then you complain that his explanations are long and you wanna get on to other things. Let the man finish his points even if you dont agree.

[@zoomonkeydotcom2005]

Sooo frustrating

[@Muslimah1987]

True but I also found it quite endearing since they're like father and son with the age gap - plus the rabbi remains unfazed as ever so no harm done really.

[@SoMuchMass]

Jake is not at the Rabbi’s level, lol. When he was confused at to how they would know the child is the mothers I knew how this convo would go. The infinity argument just proved it.

[@alphapen_dragon8554]

Lol English isn't even my home language but even i realized how stupid Jake was being...

[@esay1980]

You’re not even paying attention. You have no idea how knowledgeable this rabbi is. You only want to believe what you believe despite any logical argument so no point in wasting this brilliant rabbi’s time.

[@Home4Facts]

1:30:18 - You’re right, Jake nearly falls asleep here finding it hard to keep up. He has classic content creator brain rot. He is constantly trying to “catch out” the rabbi so he can create YT clips in the future with titles such as “STUMPS” “CONFUSED” “CORRECTS” etc for clickbait.

[@tartarus1322]

This is not a rabbi. He is spreading lies about the Torah. The Torah, our central text from which our traditions originate call us גוי and calls us עם and בני ישראל. This is within the first book alone. Then there are other גויים like the Egyptians etc. This makes it clear that not only are Jews a nation like other nations and unlike religions, they are defined by being children of Israel.and we know from the prophets that even when a member of our nation is not abiding by the law of his people, he remains a Jew. It is not a fact that has ever been disputed. I don’t know why a teacher of Torah would make such a thing up. We have pages and pages of cultural and scholarly works on this since before the Jews even got to Europe. If he weren’t speaking English this would be apparent. Besides ethnicity is just the word English people try to use to explain it. That’s what the English people decided described what it is to be an עם or a גוי

[@Home4Facts]

@@tartarus1322 You’re second paragraph shows you’re only talking from a Ashkenazi point of view. Question: If the Torah didn’t exist, would the Jewish people exist?

[@abulbees]

I am an atheist, but the way Jake doesn't understand simple concepts, including what it means for something to have a definition or what infinity means, is infinitely frustrating. Now it makes sense why he is a Zionist and argues for things he doesn't even have common sense about. When it comes to Zionism, this guy is as smart as a sponge.

[@salampakistan3691]

He raised the argument muslims used in the belief in existence of God. We use comosmogical argument in dawah videos. I think he listens to it as they work well on athiests. It gives them the logical argument they want and dispels the rumor that belief in God is not logical.

[@scivnce4273]

[@manueldestanque7136]

As a French man of Jewish descent, I can certainly affirm that France is NOT an ethnostate, considering the amount of non-christians, non-white FRENCH people living in the country.

[@glbale]

I don't know about an ethno-state but the French state has tried to impose cultural uniformity. You can see it historically with discrimination against use of the Breton language by the Celtic people in Brittany. Or today with various forms of bans on the hijab.

[@greybushMEproductions]

@@manueldestanque7136 So you'd agree than, France is not for the French? France should allow unlimited Muslim immigration and one day in the near future France will be a majority Muslim nation. Will it still be France? I'd argue it will cease to be France a short while after the Muslim population becomes the majority. That's how Islam works. Hopefully there still exist some French people who believe France is for the French. Without French people as the majority in France, France will cease to be France. Paris will be the Tehran of the of Europe. What a great thing to hope for.

[@Aris-yb1uy]

"Let’s not go biblical because you are not religious..." and "you do not have an advantage here." I thought that was brilliantly put at the beginning by Rabbi Shapiro. I have to add to my comment, Jake, Rabbi Shapiro is way too smart and knowledgeable for you.. you should go back to study before being able to keep up with someone like him. Moreover, Rabbi Shapiro is, by far, the most subtle intellectual Jew I have heard who speaks honestly about Judaism and the history of the Jews. While I am not Jewish myself, I have been studying Jewish Scriptures for a very long time, and, at last, I see an honest Rabbi remaining truthful to his own history. This gives me hope.

As a Muslim I have utmost respect for the Rabbi

[@BBB-ex3ti]

I’m a Muslim, and first I’d like to really pay respect to Rabbi Shapiro. The man is very well educated, and posses much knowledge and wisdom. A lot of people are sorta bashing Jake, well yes in the beginning Jake was hot on his feet but as the interview went on I noticed that Jake actually started listening, and paying attention and understanding what Rabbi Shapiro was explaining. Jake is sincere and I see that he just needed clarity and answers, which he got and things started making more sense to him. As a Muslim, I agree with Rabbi Shapiro, The Jewish identity in the eyes of Muslims is a religious identity, because they are believers and practitioners of the teaching and beliefs of Judaism and what is in Torah. Jews for thousands of years, just like Muslims and Christians spoke different languages, ate different food, were citizens and residents of different countries, wore different clothes, but Jews were connected to each other through their religion and the Torah. Zionism is the ideology that hi jacked Judaism and tried turning it into something which it never was before, as Jake said “rebrand” the Jews. Personally, if a person self identifies as a Jew they have that right, a basic human right to self determination and self identity, regardless of which religion their ancestors practiced or not. If you want to be a Jew, Christian, Muslim, it’s up to as long as you you’re sincere and you make the effort. No one else can come and say you’re not a jew or you are jew. It’s between you and God. Overall wonderful interview.

[@zhaidalian5845]

Sadly I reached 17:15 and went to the comments to confirm that Jake was completely out of his element. Much respect for Rabbi Shapiro for enduring this 2hr conversation. I’m certain I missed out on learning from this very engaging, thoughtful and wise man.

[@vibz8346]

Jake, you can’t refer to it as an ethnicity because that’d essentially undermine the very purpose of such distinctions. If you define it by lineage, then virtually every Palestinian’s significantly more ‘Jewish’ than literally every Ashkenazim; you’d also be compelled to call African an “ethnicity”, even more so actually. If you think in terms of culture, i.e., heritage, that’d demand referring, for instance, to any peoples who have notable history of trade with one another as one too, e.g. Spain and Morocco, which again, undermines the very purpose of such distinctions. To quote one of the most prominent Rabbis in Jewish history, Rabbi Saadia Gaon, “the nation is not a nation except in its Torahs”, i.e., it’s merely a religion- that’s been the consensus for most of Jewish history, and that too is self-evident, given it’s plainly the *only* unifying principle there is. If I’m being super charitable, you could _maybe_ otherwise define it as a quasi-ethnicity, since there’s technically still an inherent matrilineal principle of identity, but *you simply can’t call something people could convert to an “ethnicity”, full stop.* Feel free to retort :)

And yes, we can create new sounds (words) to have an uncountable amount of abstract nuanced definitions, but we’re left with the words we have in this moment to communicate until we create or introduce new words in the future. That said, we can be at this forever until we can agree on a “word” that defines the same image in our brains. Jake can use the word “ethnicity” because ethnicity has both objective and subjective elements to it. Never mind the fact that you can have multiple ethnic identities at once. You can use “religion”, because not even the scholars of that field have truly been able to define that word outside of “things you just kind of do regularly or ritually, with or without purpose.” But let’s keep it real, that’s not what a layman’s person envisions when they say “a religion.” And keeping it simple, seeing that Jews are still considered Jews, by the majority, even if they’re atheist, that says enough right there, that it’s not a religion by the laymen’s conceptualization of “a religion”… from the Abrahamic belief systems, at least. Tribal affiliations encompass ideas of ethnicity and family but outside people’s CAN join tribes. Usually by marriage, custom, or by ritual, but the amount of conjured possible ways are as infinite as the members in the tribe want to make it. This is where your comment of conversion is misleading and is missing the nuance. Because conversion is another one of these words that just means you’re changing into something else within the context of whatever it is you’re doing. And in this case, your joining a “peoples” and choosing to adopt their ways, more or less. Bloodline is and is not technically a real thing, because it dabbles in what is “essence” but also in what is lineage. But even lineage is abstract. Because how much “blood” or “genetics” does one actually carry from an ancestor a 100 generations ago. Probably actually zero. But it’s still an objective fact that you descend from them or at least the objective action of them making a baby and procreating. Words are just misleading and trickery. What is a race? It’s just a group or people or anything technically that one subjectively drew lines anywhere to differentiate. ie: the elf race, the human race, the red curly haired race, the short race, etc etc etc and for ever etc…

The fact that the descendants of Muslim Arab colonialists (the Palestinians) live in the Levant, does not give them claim to nativity. Let alone a more legitimate claim than a Jew whos descendants were pushed out of Israel by Arab crusaders.

@@MrBerto800 Sure I will… _“Tribal affiliation and/or bloodline”_ so lineage or heritage. Already retorted. On “words”; *a)* they’re all social constructs, not _“mostly”._ *b)* they broadly never capture ‘mental images’, at least not quite, bc defining scope is very demanding, and different people have different conceptions of the same notion, i.e., for convenience and clarity. *c)* they’re a bridge between concept and expression, not an iconicity of the former per se. _“has both objective and subjective elements to it”_ Social constructs, of which “ethnicity” is, are effectively inter-subjective- essentially quasi-objective, which is as close as it gets. Still, the criteria are pretty much one and the same, so how would that have _any_ bearing on the perceived aptness of his usage? There are quite a few definitions for religion- though yours is definitely a peculiar one- , but in common parlance, it’s used for systems of faith that have mechanisms of worship. _“Seeing that Jews are still considered Jews by the majority even if they’re atheist”_ for most who do, it’s been a relatively recent development. Besides, would you demonstrate that… Arabs broadly don’t, for instance. Re “Abrahamic belief systems”, Islam defines Jews as followers of the Torah. Only women could _“join”_ a tribe, if even that, mostly bc they’re regarded as vesseIs for the proliferation of the tribe- that and society’s patriarchal nature, but the belonging there would be inferred, not explicit: That is, not as would be with her presumed progeny. There’s also no uniform “Jewish” culture beyond religion, so even then, it’s an amalgamation of tribes at best. If supposedly none of this is technically real bc of being abstract, then what does that leave truth? Also not real? Then why even have a conversation- you couldn’t even settle on a basis for reality… _“how much blood or genetics does one actually carry from an ancestor a 100 generations ago. Probably actually zero.”_ Infinitesimally small, but still not zero. I’m not interested to engage in postmodernist discourse, so please cut it out :]

Does Jake enjoy displaying his stupidity? If you’re going to attempt to argue a point, you need to have something/ anything to bring to the table. Why you’d embarrass yourself in such a manner is beyond me!

There’s not pushing back and having nothing to pushback with. Jake has been attempting to push this agenda for at least a year and through simple observation, he is learning nothing; or doesn’t want to. His standard line of questioning lacks a true desire for the answers he receives. He didn’t even realise that the quotes diminishing the Jews were all made by actual Zionist Jews.

there's another 17 minutes of content that I didn't post... it's a continuation of the final monologue about zionism. I didn't include it because it was more of a lecture than a back-and-forth interview. That being said... maybe I should post it. Who thinks I should post it?

I'm not Jewish even though I have Jewish cousins who share the same maternal grandfather and the same amount of "Jewish DNA." That's because our grandfather married twice to non-Jewish women. My cousins' grandmother converted, and my grandmother (the first wife) didn't. Apart from our different religions (I was brought up Church of England), my cousins and I share a common culture, or close to it - but it's not a Jewish culture. I'm a white Australian and they are white New Zealanders.

[@atomiccreamery]

It was explained to me long ago by my Shoah survivor Zeyde that G-D is a verb. Thinking of G-D as a verb means seeing G-D as an ongoing force or action rather than a person; this idea focuses on G-D as the energy behind everything that happens-creating, sustaining, and connecting all things. In Hebrew, G-D’s name is linked to the word for “being,” meaning G-D is not something you can see or hold but is present in every act of living, growing, and doing good. Similarly, in Islam, Allah is often understood as a transcendent force beyond human form, defined by actions such as mercy, justice, and creation. Both traditions emphasize the divine as active, infinite, and intimately tied to how we live and engage with the world.

I am sorry rabbi. I have to correct you there (1hr and 20mins). It’s not that G-d handed over the religion to the Arabs/Muslims. Rather, the region of submitting the will of G-d was rehearsed to Arabs again. The same religion given to Abraham, Ismael, Ishaq, Yacob and his descendants. This is the religion of Mossi and ieasha. They were nothing but submitters to the will of G-d (chapter 2, the heifer, verse 136). I am sorry to say many people from yahude tribe reverted back submitting to the will of g-d historically. Submitting to will of g-d is islam.
