    I decided to watch this video. He goes on for roughly nine minutes whining about how everybody has ‘wronged’ the ‘State of Israel’, going so far as to reject contextualizing the October 7th incident and why it was inevitable, gives us a Judeopessimistic McHistory lesson, then finally he offers his hypothesis: Judeomisia exists because Jew-haters don’t want to be held accountable for their immorality that the Tōrāh identifies. In other words, Jew-haters shoot the messenger.

    That is not why Judeomisia exists. In fact, Jew-haters have traditionally attributed misbehaviors like dishonesty, violence, and other forms of immorality to Jews. Judeomisia exists for a variety of reasons: economic competition, ultranationalism, colonialism, and to a certain extent, distractionism. Driving Jews out of the economy means more positions for goyim to fill. Ultranationalism entails either expelling, massacring, or maybe heavily assimilating Jews so as to create a homogenous nation. During World War II, Jew-haters frequently deprived Jews of their domains and other belongings. Lastly, capitalist goyim tolerate Judeomisia because it draws attention away from captialism’s structural defects. Yes, there may be a deeper psychological cause to Judeomisia, but Phil’s suggestion is entirely unconvincing.

    Can Jews be a light unto the nations? Certainly! Many Jews (e.g. the Baal Shem Tov) can not only serve as good rôle models for us but they can also offer us a simple moral code—the Noahide Laws—that we can try to follow if we so choose. This is not even getting into Jewish contributions to Biblical scholarship and many other fields.

    That being said, the occupation of Palestine is not a good model for anyone. It is a flagrant violation of the Noahide Laws: idolizing stolen land, murdering hundreds of thousands of its innocent inhabitants, stealing not only their land but many of their other belongings, carnally abusing many of them in prisons, denying them justice, and abusing their animals. The only Noahide Law that the settlers haven’t violated is the one on cursing G-d, but I’ll be unsurprised if they have indulged in that, too.

    The only worthwhile thing that Phil said is that the Jewish people are not going anywhere. On that we agree. The rest of his video is a waste of time.

    A nuclear bomb is tiny too, relatively speaking. Somehow it still did horrific damage to civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    As Yoda from Star Wars said, “Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?”

    Then he committed genocide and Luke was like, “Both sides!”

    And then Spongebob Squarepants said, “I’m ready! To do hasbara!”

    And Voldemort was smited by the power of peaceful protest.

      If I had a net worth of over $400 million like Dr. Phil, I’d STFU and go swimming.

    They’re just going to wheel out every D lister, crank, and charlatan with this nonsense for several decades aren’t they?

    How far down in the turd barrel is Dr Phil anyway? When they get to Snooki are we close to the bottom?
