A speaker recounts debating anti-Israel activists in Washington, D.C., arguing that claims of apartheid and genocide are deliberate falsehoods repeated to breed belief. He connects this strategy to broader left-wing cultural shifts he says fuel anti-Israel sentiment.
I was brought to Washington, D.C. to debate the Middle East with folks who were anti-Israel, and I was partnered with a pro-Israel partner. I took it because I feel a moral obligation to defend Israel against the staggering amount of hate and lies that are told about Israel. The two biggest lies are it's an apartheid state and it's committing genocide. The left correctly understands that if you say anything enough, many people will believe it. Many people believe believe that a man could become a woman or a woman can become a man. That's all thanks to the left. They have drilled that into especially young people, and it's mostly young people who are anti-Israel. So if you say genocide and apartheid enough, as was said in the debate— you're targeting Palestinians, that is a genocide— and is said constantly, then people will believe it.
