Gad Saad, would you do a talk with Michael Millerman? I think it's important; he's a friend, translator, and expositor of Aleksandr Dugin.
Gad - Enjoyed your new book. Appreciated the references to Feynman & Bronnie Ware. The quote you had about an all you can read buffet was a slogan years ago on a local library. :)
I will cast my lot with the Jews. It's what feels morally right to me, despite the spin and propaganda going on.
Agree, no doubt
It's interesting how the Proff Davidai said that he thought he was woke. But the thing is that for Woke mob crazies Jews/Zionists can't be woke. But those mobs are Antisemitic and violent. It's about time people saw the truth.
מודה לך
Just realize, if you are a Christian, Rabbinical Jews (over 90% of religious Jews) despise you.
I choose the cow!
I am not a Jew and all that is happening scares me a lot.
It should.
Fear is a crippling device if you let it rule your life.
תודה
@@marty7442 Fear also keeps you alive
Covid was proof that humans are easily manipulated and led to a mob mentality. That scares me. I’m Christian and have been wearing a Star of David in solidarity of Jewish people everywhere since the massacre. We visited Isreal in 2019, my lifelong dream realized and I wasn’t disappointed.
Thank you for being resilient. Support Israel period!💙🤍
He's still half naive but it's nice that he's not totally naive
I'd say he's 3/4 or 7/8 naive and has a very long way to go before he wakes up. He says he's a wuss and he's right. He says he's still "woke" and even more so than before. He says Jews are a "model minority" which is an image of Jews that only exists in the minds of Jews -- not in any non-Jew I have ever met. He said the vast majority of Muslims have no problem with Jews and do not dislike them. This is a total denial of reality. He needs to view videos featuring Timor Aklin, an Israeli Arab who converted to Judaism and who tells it like it is as far as what Israeli Arabs ACTUALLY think of Jews. In my own experience most Muslims very much have a problem with Jews and they are not afraid to say it. Both Davidai and Saad gloss over the fact that their friends don't get upset about anti-Semitism the way that they would object to prejudice against any other group, dismissing it as not indicative that such "friends" share those anti-Semitic views. Big Mistake. They don't get bothered by anti-Semitism because they do share those views.
the more i listened to the conversation, the more i was shocked by his remaining delusional views. but considering he is a woke university professor, the late change in his views is no small thing.
About 95% naive, and 5% not.
Well, it is now 2 months later and the remaining naive half of Shai Davidai has indeed shrunk considerably.
@@elenatramsti5176 Good. Jews need to wake up to reality.
It's nice that professor davidai has had somewhat of an awakening to the reality of Jew-hatred, but I feel that he's still holding on to some aspects of leftist fantasy and is in for a few more 'shocks' as things get worse for Jews in the future.
This dude is crazy. He pinned the jew hatred to the far right. Not ONE word about islam.
Yes he is...truth hurts, it's hard to stater it in the face , he is still in partial denial. The fact that he mentioned 'Islamophobia' and it's supposed 'rise' on the same sentence, saying he does not differentiate it from Anti Jewish hatred..., it's a typical ill-informed, knee jerk reaction of progressives, also he said 'DEI and Equity' are important 'as long as not take to extremes'. Sounds like Shai does not know what 'Equity' really means. He simply ignores the historical Islamist hatred towards Jews. He likely does not know what a 'Dhimmi' is.
@@PyromancerRift at least he mentioned first the "illiberal left" . P.s. he just mentioned Islam, at least extremists fundamentalists (31min of the video)
A huge amount of leftist fantasy.
Professor Shai has yet to experience the essence of his Jewishness. Can I say this? I think so. My leftish Jewish friends discovered, in the end, who has their backs and who doesn’t
I agree that he is still naive but finally realizing, slowly. There is always a start point. Thanks Gad for a great interview!
I dunno about Isreal - but I do not see this equivalence of hateds in the West. I do not see the anti-semitism balances out, in evil, with the Islamophobia, which balances out with Christian extremism. This to me - is a cowardly cop-out posing as some kind of virtue - a very fake fairness.
Firstly, there is no such thing as "Islamophobia." It is a made up word. One designed to conflate racism with concern over the teachings of Islam and the actions of Islamists. There is anti-Muslim bigotry, but it's heavily clamped down on in the West (unlike anti Jewish and anti Christian sentiment). And it is a tiny problem (maybe not in Israel).
Then, there is a mass of anti-semitic feeling out there. As we are seeing weekly in London. Much of it rekindled by the UK's new Muslim migrants. Lastly - the Christian extremist threat is so insignificant, so tiny, we should worry about invasion from outer space sooner.
Yes -- what I am saying is 90% of this shit is coming from Islam. No equivalence. This leaving aside the territorial dispute out there in Israel.
agree. this professor still has a long way to go until he finally wakes up
Yup he's still willfully ignorant and virtue signaling to wokes, muslims and palestinians who could give two shits about him and rather he were dead.
Well said
Yes, he has long way to go..
This guy supports a two state solution along the 67 line! He’s Quixotic.
The people in the kibbutzim that were attacked on Oct. 7 were "peaceniks" who also believed in a 2-state solution. The survivors don't believe in that anymore. In fact, many have said every single Palestinian needs to removed from Gaza -- period.
My thanks once again Gad, for producing and posting this. I am not optimistic about the future for the State of Israel and Jews in general, due to the exponential rise of Antisemitism & Jew hatred in countries like Canada. After Canadian schools removed teaching the history of the Holocaust, James Keegstra & Ernst Zundel filled that vacuum with Holocaust denial literature. Holocaust denial saw such an immediate popularity in Canada, that Canada's government instituted Anti-Hate-Speech legislation, as a preventative measure to combat AntiSemitism. After October 7th, AntiSemitism spiked in Canada, yet the government of Canada with these new policies in place to prevent its rise, did absolutely nothing. In essence the government of Canada, while voicing support for Israel, through inaction and action has been fostering AntiSemitism and supporting those behind it like UNRWA. Justin Trudeau spoke of a pause in funding for UNRWA, shortly after the Liberal Minister overseeing funding of UNRWA, increased funding by over $40m, to UN bodies that tacitly contribute to Hamas. The degree of inaction by governments to help Israel and worldwide Jewry, in time of their greatest need, does not leave me optimistic.
Trudeau has to go. I’m Canadian, I didn’t know that Schools in Canada stopped teaching Holocaust. That’s dumb. When I was young, I remember learning about Holocaust in school and watching at least 2 movies about it. I remember that I couldn’t understand how some German became so hateful, leading to the Nazis. Now, I can’t believe it, I’m living in an era where it’s happening all again. I wish there were super big demonstrations organized all over the world in support of love and the Jews. Big signs saying « Stop the hate ».

What an endearing, yet deep chat...Had just written about Shai Davidai in an answer to a post that he is very interesting, bravely fighting the good fight, yet naive too. This confirms it.
Bari Weiss interviewed a prominent Isreali Arab Muslim figure married to a Jewish Isreali. It’s an interview worth listening to. She gives an interesting perspective.
Yes! Lucy Aharish - an incredible woman
muslim women marrying non muslims is not allowed islamically.
Being awake also means being awake to hatred. Shai needs to awaken to diabolical hatred. It’s awful to face and terribly depressing
The moment he said he is lefty, I paused the video. He doesn't get that he is the problem. He caused Oct 7.
The Israeli left is not as cluless as its US counterpart.
I was very angry about what he said as well. I don't think the lefties completely caused Oct. 7 but they sure had a big hand in it with the policies they pushed. Many of them still cling to those ideas.
The Israeli left is not as cluless as its US counterpart.
One, just a few weeks before Oct. 7 Lefties were calling for CIVIL WAR over the supreme Court issues. Second, 50% of reservists were not showing up for duty due to Bibi being Prime minister. Third, if you listen to interviews with survivors of the massacre, the first thing they all say I was a LEFTY before Oct 7, and I am still a lefty. Israel is bordering on fascism and they don't see their flaws. @@elenatramsti5176
@@elenatramsti5176and the irony is sadly that those attacked, murdered and kidnapped were very left. They wanted two state solution, and very naively embraced the Palestinians who butchered them.
Funny. I am also a Mossad agent but for the Orthodox Jewish community. There. I said it.(Sarcasm)
Roughly half of my class at Columbia was Jewish. We were all born in 1942. Woe is Columbia.
If it means anything to you fine gentlemen, I have your back as well. These types of testimonials need to be heard around the world. This support would be given to any person, wherever they stem from, protecting from those where their only intention is to harm. Thank you for speaking up. Courage.
but Jews are an ethnicity. all of us, regardless if we are Ashkenazi or Sephardi, or Mizrahi, except only first generation converts, are carrying a very certain genetic marker, the J-gene, as it’s nicknamed, that is common for all of us and connect us to the Middle East, Levant and the Land of Israel in particular. we are an ethnicity. but even more so we are a people, a nation and probably even a civilization.
That's not accurate. What the genetic research shows is that the core groups of Jews, namely Ashkenazi and Sepharadi Jews, we are indeed descendants of the ancient Judeans coupled with some non-Judean ancestry along the way (which can come from various sources along the centuries - conversions, mixed marriages, rapes and conquest, etc). The non-Judean elements are mainly our Mediterranean conquerors - i.e mostly Italian and other southern European. The Ethiopian and Indian Jews are more clear cases of conversion, although they do have some Jewish ancestry as well.
The bottom line is that we're somewhere in between an ethnicity and a religion. This is why the words "nation", "people" or "Identity" are more appropriate, even if this identity includes a significant ethnic factor.
Look up "Genetic studies of Jews" on Wikipedia.
You are both right. But Jews are definitely an ethnicity first. No question. All DNA data shows the Levantine Jerusalem ethnogenesis origins.@@amirabiri2
as a mossad agent I think the world order we offer is awesome and you should support it!
What?
As a mossad agent i agree
So you moslim?@@PyromancerRift
Well done professors!
Fantastic thanks all so much.
Another brave young man! God bless you, sir! Thank you, Gad, for bringing him on; it gives us a sense of hope!
“Islamophobia is as bad as antisemitism” - is that true? not all ideologies have equal value with regard to morality, intellectual substance or truth. It is understandable and rational to be “phobic” of some ideologies, indifferent to others, and even supportive of some. Speaking for myself, I’m quite “phobic” of fundamentalism and totalitarianism in general, and I’m wary of cultures that are oppressive and pose a threat to peoples cognitive liberty…
Thanks to Gad and his erudite guest, I now aspire to be a fierce honey badger fighting against the evil poison ivy schools. 🤣🤣🤣 Watch me unleash my inner Hugh Jackman!
It stared for the Sunday people, in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestinian National Authority. Also, I forgot to mention the Yazidis, don't know the people of which day to call them, so that middle Eastern say should be updated
Thank you.
Truth will always win. Reality will defeat delusion. Because the truth exists, but delusion does not. It is only a matter of time.
This young professor is still very naïve.
Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.
"Still believe in a 2 State Solution" 😂😂😂
I'm sorry, but anyone who still says this, needs help!
Will you have Ayman S. Ibrahim on? He just wrote four books on Islam. The first one is called A Concise Guide to Islam. He's an Egyptian Christian. He writes books for Zondervan, the Bible publishers.
In addition to the blatant anti-Semitic rhetoric and general anti-western sentiment, the fact that the pro-Hamas protestors have been permitted to employ their heckler’s veto with impunity is distressing.
Greatest video
Just at the beginning of the video and so shocked about the group at the university that think that what Hamas did is justifiable resistance…rape etc is ok. Really horrific how sone have really lost their moral compass.
These people should watch the TH-cam interview with Bari Weiss with the Israeli Muslim woman to get a reality check as to what has been going on in Israel and who has been attacking whom.
@@theinngu5560 Bari Weiss would lie about what she had for breakfast. Why listen to propagandists?
The violent torture that was inflicted on Israelis on Oct. 7 was so over the top sadistic, it is impossible to believe that any moral person could justify it. Unfortunately, the word "rape" is used to describe what happened to so many women and men when it was sadistic sexual and physical torture -- the word rape doesn't come close to describing what was done to those females, some of whom were children and even to men. Russell Rickford, a black professor at Cornell said he felt energized and exhilarated by the Oct. 7 attacks, never even considering this to be in any way racist at the time he made those remarks. Such people never had a moral compass to begin with.
A very fine conversation, and quite shocking that college professors and academic professionals consider 'rape as a form of resistance'...Appalling.
Having said I think Shai is still mistaken and naively taken by the woke left influence. When he says DEI and equity are important, as long as 'not take to thei extreme'....sounds like Shai honest really understand what 'equity' really means. Equity is incompatible w/ logic, fact, evidence and meritocracy.
Also him mentioning 'the rise in Islamophobia' and not differentiating it from Anti Jewish/Anti Semitic hatred is naive and misguided, it's another knee jerk reaction that Leftist Progressives often resort to automatically. The whole 'both sides' thing....
Maybe Shai, as an Ashkenazi , ignores the true extent of the discrimination that Sephardim and Mizrahim had to go through when they were minorities in Muslim majority lands. Leftist Progressives often espouse the idea that 'before 1948' ...'Arabs and Jews lived in perfect harmony' , like it was all some type of Sunday afternoon picnic in the park w/ apple pie and coca cola.
Damn...who knew I was subbed to a mossad agent.
just saw the clip... outstanding how he seems to feel its normal to spy on your country for a foreign entity...
He’s still clinging to, and defending, his well-meaning, leftist loyalty as if it will save him; not fully woken up to the fact that it’s some of these divisive, theoretic ideals which have the actual effect of separation and breeding resentment. Equity, diversity and inclusion… oh please!
Disagree with him on other issues as well, but an enjoyable conversation nonetheless.
Shocking to hear about the awful treatment he’s been receiving.
Would love to see you speak with Warren Smith!
a lot of nerve for youtube to play ads to donate money to the terrorists during your video...
Professor Davidai makes the same mistake all non-Muslims tend to make: He speaks of "Muslims", and does not given consideration to ISLAM. But it is the religio-political system which we know as Islam (Mohammedanism) which is the underlying problem. Sam Harris refers to it as "the mother-lode of bad ideas". ISLAM does not have 'versions' (eg 'peaceable' or 'Jihadi'). Authority to decide whether an action is 'Islamic' or 'Un-Islamic' rests within its trilogy of scriptures: the Koran, the Sira and the Hadiths. If Mohammed did it; then that is good, Islamic, behaviour: even if it involves murdering Jews, or killing homosexual people for just being homosexual.
woke antisemitism by david bernstein gotta be interviewed
on being woke... there's more to life than ascribing pain to different groups... people are individuals and may not identify with what you are ascribing to them.
why muslims got whooped 20 muslim countries vs 1 israel in 1948 war and the 6 day war
23
Mediocrity and failure envies and resents success and genius, and I see a common thread in many movements that this current conflict falls under.
I think, if certain group of people, has a 99% agreement on some issue, you can generalize, as a matter of practicality. After all, you’ll be right 99 times out of a 100.
I cannot cope with the feeling i have right now. This is more than a simple struggle or 2nd digital war of the minds, it encompasses millenia of humanity and moral good.
Utter madness. For those who support terrorsts... justifiying rape?! The bleep?
Islamophobia is like AS ? And the risk and dangers is the same in America ?
I do not differentiate the two ?
I do understand that hate is hate , but one group has 1,700,000,000 ppl
One 12,000,000 that I’m the pay faced a genocide .
This need to be ohh everyone is the same , mostly peaceful and loving .
I will never ever celebrate rape or justified it 99% of Muslims in America and Europe did .
How do we know that , they did not protests against what happened , condemn it , in a real way Not without “but apartheid “
There is a way to say hate is hate in general , and respect one another bla bl and at the same time to say
With all due respect it is unacceptable to call for genocide of JEWS on the street of NY !
Unacceptable to creat a map with JEWISH organizations on it .
Dude you have flawed philosophy. Hyenas will eat you
exactly! I took a stand to learn as much as possible about the region and its history and my conclusion is that its overwhelming hate form the 1.7 billion side that is the culprit. Its that simple and clear. Analyzing a person coming at you with an axe with the intent of decapitating you is not a good philosophy. You will die in that case and may still die if you fight back but at least you had a chance.
I don't understand what went wrong with the pro-Muslim crowd.
(1) I'm an Ashkenazi atheist Jewish American. Why am I all these things?
I'm an Ashkenazi because my antecedents were Ashkenazim, making me "a member of one of the two great divisions of Jews comprising the eastern European Yiddish-speaking Jews" (Merriam-Webster aka M-W). I'm Jewish because THEY were Jewish, because my Jewish father's sperm got together with my Jewish mother's egg and became the blastocyst that eventually turned into me.
I was born atheist, I've been atheist since I became a blastocyst. However, my society considers me Jewish from birth because the egg and sperm that joined to create me were from Jewish parents. That makes me biologically Jewish, but not a religious Jew. Religion is a philosophical construct; I would have to choose Judaism in order to be a religious person, a believer in a faith system with a deity at its apex and its zenith.
Yet I was raised in a Jewish family, among other Jewish family members and with Jewish family traditions. This makes me culturally Jewish. I have a biting, sardonic sensayuma, one sure sign of Jewishness. Another is a strong sense of fatalism; because I am a Jew, events like the Spanish Inquisition, Russian pogroms, the Holocaust of WWII, the genocidal Hamas attack of 7 October 2023, and worldwide Jew Hatred are inevitable - how else can you explain our sensayuma?
However, I'm atheist because the absurdity of deities is stronger even than the South African charge of Israeli genocide against Palestinians, stronger even than religion itself, stronger still than the idea that faith - the abandonment of reason, evidence, and critical thinking individuality - is a virtue.
(2) IDGAF what the Other thinks of me because of (1) above. That's THEIR choice, therefore THEIR problem. I can help them, if they'd like, but there's nothing they can help me with, because it's not my problem, it's THEIRS.
(3) What a wonderful opportunity to write about this amazing outbreak of worldwide Jew Hatred! Think of all the evidence y'all can gather, then analyze, and finally opine about! What a silver lining we all have!
(4) Nu?
ETA: Professors Saad and Davidai, this would be a great time to start gathering surveys and interviews from those that have chosen not to speak out and those that have chosen to speak out. Of course, they can be anonymous or nonymous, as each individual chooses.
Please allow me to assist y'all in your investigations of silence vs. stridence!
I have heard that in the dayly prayers Moslems have to say they in fact condemn Christians and Jews although these are not explicitly named. Still the exegisis of the prayer seem to be very clear about its contents. Of course this does not mean that all Moslems would act violently. Yet the hatred of Jews is inherent in Islam. And in fact in the Christian gospel there are anti-jewish views present.
#MossadAgentsUnite 💪🇮🇱❤
Obscenity is obscenity and lies are lies. Hope your dreamworld comes true.
Outsiders see two Middle Eastern cultures killing each other. Jewish tribes have been interacting with European tribes for two thousand years. The cultures have developed together. Focus on the similarities between Israelis and The West. That there is no FGM, far less femicide, no murder of homosexuals in Israel. MGM is still an issue, remember Freud concluded that this Jewish tradition was at the root of European anti-Semitism. Regardless, when it comes to human rights Israelis are more like The West than they are to Muslims. Even though Israelis are very Middle Eastern in their behavior. Might makes right, shame and honor, and all that. I’m explaining HAMASide to my propagandized Canadian friends. It’s a unique Gazan war tactic that interleaves military gear into civilian populations, different in degree if not in kind to other wars.
Accept Jesus is king
לא תודה
You mean accept that a Jewish rabbi and preacher who lived in Israel 2000 years ago, and who was a social justice warrior and trouble maker is the King of the Jews? Or accept that the religion that Paul created long after Jesus died using him as some mythical character and breaking away from any Jewish practice at the time is the one true religion?
@@amirabiri2 Jesus is the messiah your own Torah and Tanaka proves that. Paul was alive during Jesus disciplining.
@@Goodtimes4100 What in the old testament that never mentions Jesus you think proves that he is king?
Paul was around when Jesus was alive, yes. But he wasn't one of the twelve apostles and was in disagreement with them. Early Christianity was fractured and Paul's factions eventually won over time. A lot of his views don't seem to have anything to do with the things Jesus said when he was alive.
@@amirabiri2 Isiah 52&53 genesis 12 psalm 22. Just to name a few, read your Torah. And your history is so wrong about Paul, he teaches the same thing that Jesus does.
Is this Pascal Najadi?
Please both of you, look up Francisco Gil White. Lost tenure at Penn!!!!!!
hamas rejects a "two state solution."
I'm called a Hasbara troll all the time. Where is the check?
why are you not making Aliyah>??????????????????????
Excellent interview! Except I’d wish you would challenge him a bit more onthat he seems to think this whole issue is about land and not about religion at all which is untrue it is just westplaining the issue!
And thinks Islamophobia is a thing. Oh dear.
i wanna b shallow and note that this turtle neck sits perfectly under this gorgeous silver beard
Green so much better.
Shai you need to read the Quoran and everyone should actually
Shai, you seem like a very smart and nice guy, but given some of your answers to Gad’s questions, you haven’t fully woken up.
Shai still beliefs in some good but he looks naive, it will be very painfull for him to wake up realiy. It us very obverse which extremists combined with their relgion and beliefs harm the word extraordinay
Sorry guys, but I just stop listening after eight minutes. There’s just another lefty professor without any actual knowledge of the Islam faith
Sorry.😢
Mosad keep a low profile, how stupid to label either of you an agent. They will never know who the agents are.
Sometimes the best way to disguise yourself it to hide in clear sight
Why do you care about the State of Israel Gad? You live in Montreal; why not move to Israel if you feel your loyalty lies there?
why do you care so much for Gad? If you care so much move to his street? Why do you even care so much that he cares about anything. I guess caring about something now needs to be justified by the "care sensor crowd" like you.
So all those who are on the streets 'caring' passionately about the Palestinians should go and live there?
Why do people who hate Israel attack Jews outside of Israel?
@@jazura2 Yes of course. Both Arabs and Israelis should leave our beautiful homelands and fight it out over there.
They want the conflict over the region, stop proxying it in a place that my ancestors built
כי אנחנו יהודים. נקודה
'only 5%' .. 'islamophobia' .. he probably thinks Europe is like NY.
He is naive
Lol jews
So you are saying that you are a racist?
Racist aka the lowest form of life!
Talking about "both sides" and calling Judea and Samaria "occupied"...
This guy has good intentions, but it seems the penny still hasn't dropped. Gad should send him a copy of "The Parasitic Mind" as a delicate clue.
