In this solo monologue, the speaker (Dennis Prager) argues that the root cause of antisemitism is the Jewish proclamation of a morally demanding, judging God revealed at Mount Sinai. He cites a Talmudic anecdote that plays on the Hebrew words “Sinai” (the mountain where the Ten Commandments were given) and “sinah” (hatred), claiming that the hatred (sinah) stems from Sinai. According to him, the Jews introduced the concept of a demanding, invisible God, which provoked Jew‑hatred worldwide. The proposed remedy mirrors the cause: by encouraging the entire world to accept and live by the Ten Commandments as originally given at Sinai, antisemitism will diminish. He criticizes Jews for not spreading the Ten Commandments more broadly and suggests that broader adoption of these moral laws is the solution to Jew‑hatred.

The solution to antisemitism, to Jew hatred, is the same as the cause of Jew hatred, in my opinion. So listen to this, this will fascinate you. The second holiest work in Judaism is the Talmud, written by rabbis about 1,800 years ago. And it's, it's a gigantic work. It's the size of the Encyclopedia Britannica. And the rabbis asked in it about 2,000 years ago, what's the cause of Jew hatred? And they answered with a pun on Hebrew words. And you'll get it because you won't know what the words mean, but you'll, you'll hear how similar the sound is. Sinai and sinah. Sinai is Sinai, Mount Sinai, where the Jews got the Ten Commandments. Traditionally believed where they got the Torah, but certainly the Ten Commandments. That's sinai. Sinah is hatred. The rabbi's play on words was the sinah comes from Sinai. The hatred comes from Mount Sinai. I believe. The Jews have— the Jews disrupted the whole world with the concept of a judging God, a morally demanding God who is invisible, etc. So this was how the hatred began. And my insight is that that is how the hatred can end. Sinai, Mount Sinai, is the cause of Jew hatred, and Mount Sinai is the solution to Jew hatred. The more people who embrace the Ten Commandments as written in the Bible and believe that the, the God who revealed himself first to the Jews gave these Ten Commandments. The world lives by them. Jew hatred will subside. Jews have missed the boat in not spreading the Ten Commandments.
