criticism of israel not so mysteriously becomes criticism of jews in general the israel lobby will smear any critic as an anti semite just recall the treatment given jimmy carter and helen thomas i'm joined by dr abraham so we will probe so called new anti semitism a political ploy to silence americans insulate was interesting because i know an author who's very very timid and concerned about how his family and friends will perceive him after his book is published which is on israel rather in truth telling book i also know  an activist locally that has mentioned that people have what looks like a morbid fear speaking out about israel do you see that as well you see it everywhere you go are americans are willing to speak of their mind only in private and in a very timid  thing that somebody will call you if they pass by and see you that you are a nazi or a tyson lying it or name calling is very common whether it's a really busy on through with it or not that doesn't really matter but americans are also becoming aware of the issue when we give you a scenario in israel and they say that it's fundamental to being an israeli jewish israeli that you have settlements how do you respond israeli conflict will continue forever and it will be a flashpoint for much bigger problems in the middle east we're talking about the old double bind if i support the is really claim that settlements are necessary and i have to deny the palestinians their right not to be snuffed out of existence or to be treated for very different format of ethnic cleansing is there any evidence today of traditional any semitism people hating jews for being look at look in america here and you will find the number of the jewish people is almost about one point six one point seven percent of the population but actually fifty three percent of the seats of the highest court in the land  still this support for israel the sensitivity to any should never trump morals then there's no such there moral and it's also practical because the mistakes of the are committing out of costing america directly both inside america and i would say that america what about the evidence the so called new anti semitism we mentioned earlier jimmy carter and helen  most any submitted organizations and you have to have good good sponsorship you have to have a good good discourse you have to have good recruitment and you have to really basically be a threat if it's wrong that they are actually willing to even i q was there a fellow jews of being a threat to israel well this is taken a new twist just recently to stand with this organization whose bullets tried to shut down yeah yeah because the them it's life threatening it's an existential threat if you will that is a beacon at the site but the smear does take a toll on you know people have to worry about their reputation they have to worry about their family they have to worry about explains why the members of the u s congress whether it's of the house or the senate totally for whatever israel asks for even if it was again is the interest of the united states of america we have every example of that so that's another story by himself and he's conducting his own private american foreign policy with a play minister of israel and now he's throwing to move the aid to israel from being a foreign aid to being part of the really started to behave according to international laws and give back the land that it took by force and the respect of the human rights and the rights of return for the palestinians and so on i think of the world will be much better than it is now and they don't anti semitism in that some of them believe and will not exist but that means that if they give a zionist and which is all about you know a land without people for people without land which we know now is not true well it just happened to be in accuracy and they have been resentment it's boomerang on israel unless american unqualified support to israel is looked at carefully by the american people the american people need to break that mental psychological plays on that they have been americans out of here by and in the mind and in the psyche well for the viewer sake we can conclude you've certainly got to be against the crimes of israel is not to be against the jewish anymore to be against the mafia is to be because if you finance a kind i am then you are part of the cry if you know that i am has been committed or is being committed and you remain silent then you are also part of the claim itself so i think that actually a big part of the problem and then of success in passive consent by refusing to see for refusing to oppose it refusing to speak out is wrong well it's what happened to the jews with the nazis oh absolutely yeah yeah  majority of american jews are not speaking out because the majority of american jews actually support israel you have to look at the psyche of the jewish people themselves through them and the horrors of the inquisition or the  the nazis have done that to us then we have now an excuse to go and do it to somebody else especially since we were told that it's a land without people so it's sort of you we just found that there are palestinians actually they have and we would predict that the symbol by gradually and systematically ethnically cleanse of that you know the overwhelming majority of israelis were for the attack on the gaza flotilla they just you know really had a parade for their commandos and not confined by that mental prison that was built over the last fifty years or so then go to generations are looking at the facts in front of them and saying gee if you suffer from the holocaust which is true and then you now have your own country and you're trying to ethnically cleanse the people who have been living in it for hundreds and hundreds of years then there must be something wrong with what you're doing and i'm just not willing to accept that just because you want me to have to support a state that has a lot as and judaism all in one package and also the land without with the palestinians like the have to make some choices do they have to return of the sixty seven borders well i know i think the problem is bigger than that i is going to definitely take people overcoming this morbid fear of being labeled an anti semite i think i think i think is the key the key actually is not in the hands of the u s government in the key in the is in the hands of the medic and public  it's obvious that there is so much poet of now in america here that i actually consider it as the interests of israel before the interests of america itself look at the budget cuts in america and look at the how many people are losing their homes and the genocide in the races absolutely and there is nothing in the world of increasing anti americanism and can you think programs for america and security and i mean i want to point out of food being against the crimes of israel i issue alone whether you're for israel or opposing what israel is doing it's all americans that have got to overcome that morbid fear of any sin that isn't and be strong and stand by their principles and speak out yeah yeah i think they key is in the hands of the american people themselves and that they can do it very peacefully and they should not think that they are doing it for the sake of someone else they are actually doing it for their own sake before anything else because th is nothing that's increasing untie americanism in the middle east and that is of the wall and then that unbelievable misbehavior of israel and then the unqualified protection of the united states so that behavior doesn't tutu had a very interesting expression polishing the chains of your captivity that's if you're just giving in but not really addressing the political forces that caused the problem which is really what we want viewers to tonight you've got to stand if you've got to speak you've got to overcome that so called weapon of any summit is take back the take back the language take back our morals here and let's bring peace and justice and universal human rights for everyone in the middle east absolutely is there any escaping the fact that what's going on in israel with zionism is racism oh absolutely not like i said just there that something is really wrong when we see eric cantor doing a jewish member of the american congress sitting foreign policy for israel and there's all that money being transferred in nope no traction obama has not been able to
