and express our jewishness? >> there is a unique cultural characteristic of the bay area. certainly, the jewish community in the bay area. we are really defined by flexibility. we have this adventurous spirit, kind of like a cultural coarseness. we don't, in general, express jewish life in a very particular way but there is openness to integrating and i would say remixing from other cultures and other universal values. that is really the character and the way in which jewish life is celebrated and expressed here in the bay area. >> it seems interesting because in a reductionist way, the faith communities generally think of the locust of their faith community life in their place of worship, like a church or a temple or a synagogue or a shrum or a mosque. part of what i hear you saying is that in the coarseness of all of this, it might be that the locust of our jewishness is actually not singular. it is not monolithic, it is not even in one thematic structure. >> that is very well put. >> yeah. we are really in th

so i'm open about being jewish. if someone has a problem with that, they should just come and sorted out with me as long as i'm mcclellan. if that was good before she knew, i think there are many different reactions because it's quite distinct. and even on the same person, there's the feeling of i know that i'll get my suitcase out because i have to be better prepared for what's happening. you perfect. can i really permanently belong to society here? and though am i sufficiently protected? where do i move to either in for some jeez, that one place they can feel safe? is israel, the world's only jewish state? since 1950. choose from all over the world and gentle convert to judaism, are entitled to settle in israel and receive full israeli citizenship if they wanting from me ask for me as a practicing jew, it's meaningful when i can celebrate jewish holidays there and. and it's a safe haven i, there's also the feelings or there's a country that there's a place on to simply b and, and to maybe not handle the feeling of

so i'm open about being jewish. if someone has a problem with that, they should just come and sorted out with me and long as i bumped maclam. if that was good the for she knew, i don't think there are many different reactions of because it's quite distinct even in the same person. there's the feeling of i know that i'll get my suitcase out because i have to be better prepared for what's happening here. perfect, can i really permanently belong to society here? and though am i sufficiently protected? where do i move to live in? for some jeez, that one place they can feel safe. is israel? the world's only jewish state since 1950 jews from all over the world and gentle convert to judaism, are entitled to settle in israel and receive full israeli citizenship if they want to confirm me. ask for me as a practicing jew, it's meaningful when i can celebrate jewish holidays there and, and, and it's a safe haven i, there's also the feelings that there's a country that there's a place on to simply b and to maybe not handle the

and elsewhere, it's directed against the jewish state, the jewish people, their right to have a jewish homeland. i think that's one classic manifestation of antisemitism. what i learned from my father and whatever history is that you may not be able to eradicate it if it's been around that long. but you have to be able to resist it. to resist it, first of, all the jewish people have to stand up proud and be strong. non-jews have to realize that hatred that begins with the jews doesn't end there. we saw that with taylor. it just spreads and involves integrate inflammation to others. i think my own rule and my own responsibility as the prime minister of israel is to keep the jewish state very strong, to support the governments who oppose antisemitism, and many do, to support the jewish communities, to tell people to be proud, to stand strong, to fight back the lies, and to fight back these bigots. don't let them when the day. >> premised netanyahu, thank you so, much i really appreciate your time. and i know i speak for everyone watching right now that i hope things de-escalate. and i ho

and there it runs into these obstacles, you know, attached to it by the jewish leadership, the jewish agency in jerusalem. other jewish leaders have attached a note to it, effectively pleading for the allies to bomb the railway tracks. you know, if this is a factory, then take out the conveyor belt that is bringing -- in bomb the railway tracks. but it gets to what gets to winston churchill. he has a five page summary of the verb of it's a report he writes in the margin in his own hand. what can be done. what can be said as if he's left speechless by what he's reading in this account. he you know he's far his deputy anthony eden he has a meeting him he tells him he has no objection to the bombing of the way railway tracks anything out of the air ministry. the air force you can it goes to the head of the air ministry. we can't this we only bomb at night. this is an operation the day. so this is one for the americans, i would say right the americans and the brits divided up bombing schedules. that's what they had. the americans bombed by day. the brits did. the raf, the royal air force

don't you think this undermines your commitment to jewish people and jewish— your commitment to jewishriously? well, thank you for that question. _ this seriously? well, thank you for that question. i— this seriously? well, thank you for that question. i think _ this seriously? well, thank you for that question. i think and - this seriously? well, thank you for that question. i think and i - this seriously? well, thank you for that question. i think and i hope . that question. i think and i hope that question. i think and i hope that my actions over the last 2—3 years have made absolutely clear that my commitment is to tear anti—semitism out of this party by the roots. that was the first thing i said as leader of the labour party, that is why we�*ve taken the action that we�*ve done, that is why i�*m pleased today that the commission has said they are confident in the plan that we put forward. but look, as i said a moment ago, this is not the end of the road, this isjust a signpost and we must be as robust as we go forward this would be until now. whatever cases and allegations are put

he has a jewish daughter and son-in-law. he has jewish grandchildren.e has never been a president in the history of the republic as personally close to the jewish people as donald trump. and things like the abraham accords, these were really important. and yet at the same time when asked to call out white supremacists -- >> proud boys, stand back and stand by. >> when he stood there days after charlottesville and said -- >> but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. >> the neo-nazis knew exactly what he meant. his attitude, his language. the choices that he made ushered in this hate. >> excuse me. i saw the same pictures as you did. >> reporter: so jason greenblatt, he argues if you read all of the remarks in that charlottesville press conference he did condemn the neo-nazis and the white supremacists. >> and i'm not talking about the neo-nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally. >> if donald trump convincingly, consistently, clearly called out the extremists and the anti-semites it wouldn't even m

jewish money buying elections is a stereotype about the jewish faith, popular among the alt right. i recall no apology unlike representative omar, to or for this tweet. this is far from the only example of the hypocrisy. representatives on the republican side have defended and agreed with well-known white supremacists and anti-semite nick fuentes and spoken at his events. other republican members have complained zionist supremists are conspiring to flood europe with migrants to replace the white population there is. my republican colleagues have quoted adolf hitler in congressional remarks promoted the great replacement theory and invite add holocaust denier to the state of the union. finally when this congress moved the house resolution condemning anti-semitism, there was only one member that voted against it. and it wasn't a democrat. so, why is this member being targeted today? we don't have time to go through the entire list of objected remarks the other side has made. the point is none of these comments caused any members who made them to be removed from committees. not remove

i don't know if i would just for myself as a jewish american. ready or into a jewish family but i. ready i don't consider myself to be jewish in the sense of the city or nationality or any sort of identity. and i do consider my brooklyn, it's one point somebody. and then finally, just say i, i think my activism in my work, it's not so much about t. ringback as much as justice and i do believe the only way to to get to. ringback ready i think it's an important distinction to make that being anti zionist or anti israeli government is different right, than being anti semitic. i mean, is that fair and how might you expand on that distinction? the, the issue today has been some weaponized to target activists. peace, people seeking peace and basically all palestinians. ready who challenge. ready legitimacy of the occupation with legitimacy the currently exists. ready operates in what many c as a folio colonial state, as well as an apartheid state. and all of those things that i've described are all . ready violations of international law law or human rights law and have nothing to do wit

it's not the hidden from here you get to see what we call the center of the jewish will center of jewish life, history. heritage. everything about our connection to jerusalem. you shall, i am, starts and has continued for 3800 years from here. i'll i calling it the pumping station of the jewish world. jerusalem runs through not just our psyche, our part of our soul, but is in the veins and the blood of every single jew no matter where they are in the world, is 225000 jews in eastern eastern today. no body is moving. those 200000, my parents were brought up with a very zionist traditional and religious home, and it was obvious that one day they would come to israel, which they did when i got married. in fact, no, i was in some ways it started off my life here because i was conceived here in israel. but at some point my mom who was pregnant went back to australia and that's why our branch interrupted a stranger and 25 years ago. am i basically returned home? my body may have been estrella, but that's all and said is a beautiful country, but it was never, i can't refer to it as home. home h

the jewish state we get caught in between.'s why in addition to the attitudes, laura, anti-jewish incidents have reached an all-time high. we've been tracking that for almost 45 years. we've never seen the kind of numbers, unfortunately, we're seeing today. >> you know, you mentioned politics and while you were talking we were showing on the screen some of the stereotypes that people are thinking are mostly true. but i do want to play for you, because jake tapper did ask netanyahu if he had any concerns on social media about trump potentially being back in the white house in 2024. listen to what his answer was. >> okay. >> i did praise president trump because he did great things for israel. he recognized jerusalem as our captor. he recognized or sovereignty in the golan heights. he got out of what i think was the dangerous nuclear deal with iran. he helped forge the four star peace accords with the arab states. he has done great things. i think he made a big mistake on this kanye thing. and i said. so i'm not going to interven

now, after some 20 plus years of british authority, a plan was devised to establish a jewish national homeland within palestine. thus carving up the land into a jewish state and an era stayed with both parties objecting to the other getting jerusalem. and that's just one crux of this multi pronged debate. the birth of israel in 1947. and since continued territorial expansion into gaza in the south and the west bank along the jordan river, 2 major wars, 194-8900. 67 displaced hundreds of thousands of palestinian arabs. those who remained in the territorial homeland say, they live in an apartheid state. and here to weigh in is heard a morry, she's the co founder of the direct action network for palestine. she's joining us from the u. k. product is israel and apartheid state. i mean, would you compare it to south africa between 1948, and 991. so i would describe as all of her state practices out apartheid, apartheid the word apartheid season. afrikaans words which make means separateness . and to put it simply means a donation of one racial creep over another and to understand in the con

clearly amplifying an anti-semitic stereo type about the jewish people and money. in response, congressional democratic leadership, her own party immediately released a statement by saying, anti-semitism must be called out, confronted and condemned, whenever it is encountered without exception. not long after representative omar trivialized the terrorist attacks of september 11th 2001 by describing that day of infamy as some people did something. that's horrific. some people did something. yes, mr. speaker, some people did do something. some people committed evil acts of terrorism and killed nearly 3,000 americans and in response, some thousands of our fellow citizens, myself included, enlisted in our armed forces to defend the gentle lady's rights to make her prejudice remarks and many went off to combat and even died, but they did not die to have their bravery in fighting to be undermined by a member of the foreign affairs committee. mr. speaker, i have no words to describe how unacceptable these comments are. that's not all. in 2021 the gentle lady referred to i
