a note. That is as perfect as you can do this kind of stuff. I've never seen anybody do it that well actually. That's the best I've ever seen.

And I would like to compliment Israel and Netanyahu's staff because they were as wise as Musk was in knowing how to do this for optimum mutual benefit.

But here's the punchline or the kill shot to add all. I don't know if you know this name. Dov Hikind used to be in politics in New York state but he's well known as a defender of Jews, defender of Israel, one of the stronger more public voices about who's an anti-Semite and who's not. And he did a video. He didn't just do a post with words. He did a whole video in which he said I've devoted over 50 years to fighting Jew hatred. I can smell an anti-Semite a mile away. And let's be completely clear on this. Elon Musk is no anti-Semite.

Now I am going to give him a little bit of Dov because he had to add this. He's made some mistakes in his judgment. You know I do that too. Like if I'm supporting somebody that I don't support every single thing they've ever done. You know I'll do that. Well you know he's made some mistakes. But here's the better way to do it. The better way to do it is to say I haven't agreed with him on everything. It's kind of a dick move to say he's made some mistakes in the same breath that you're supporting him. It's just a dick move. So Dov has got a great reputation, does good work so I respect him and his work. So this would just be advice not criticism. I wouldn't word it that way. If your overall point is supportive don't say he's made some mistakes. Say I would have done it differently. It's the same thing but it's just not a dick way to say it.

All right. I would like to call your attention to an account which fascinates me because I'm surprised he's still alive. All right the account is called Martyr Made. It's two words. If you just search for that on X. So Martyr and the word Made. Here's why it's interesting. So this account is doing a pretty aggressive effort of trying to do what I'll call, I'll put this in quotes, both siding the issue. Both siding the issue with Gaza and the Palestinians and Israel.

Now he's not both siding October 7th, right? He's completely against the violence of October 7th. He's not pro-Hamas. Not pro-Hamas. Let me say that three times. He's not pro-Hamas. Not not not. Okay. But he is trying to create a complete picture so that we better understand what everybody's thinking and that part is of value. But it is really dangerous territory because you so easily could get lumped in with supporting Hamas and then your life is destroyed. So I respect him for the risk that he's taking in the service of making sure that we have a more complete understanding of things.

However watch me. Watch me not say he made some mistakes because right I'm going to model my own opinion. I would say there are a few things that I would have handled differently. See isn't that better? Like you keep your respect to the person but you can still say there are a few things I would have handled differently.

So on one of his posts today he was talking about, well I'll just read his post. So he said this and I'll tell you what I had a problem with. He said where did people get this idea that half a century of brutal military occupation, he's talking about Israel and the Palestinians, could possibly result in anything but burning hatred of the occupiers, his word, by the occupied? How would you feel about foreign soldiers strip searching your sister or killing your little nephew? Of course those are anecdotes and things now.

So here was my response. Number one good question. That's a good question. How would you feel? Perfectly good question. But it's not the only question. So where I would have handled it differently is this is a totally good question but it's incomplete and in its incompleteness it maybe is misleading.

So here are the questions I asked. A related question is whether Israel would be under the same level of danger from Hamas no matter what they did. Don't you think that Hamas's assumption is that Israel would be under less risk if they only treated the Palestinians the way the Palestinians wanted to be treated? That's a good question too. Because my assumption is that Israel would be under exactly the same risk because I never hear the Palestinians say you strip searched my sister. I've never heard that. I mean I'm sure that
