I think your confident answer neglects to recognize the dynamics of antisemitic campaigns that we observe today. Of course, there are individuals who are openly antisemitic and dislike Jews regardless of the circumstances, having been brought up that way. However, we are currently witnessing a rise in hatred among the younger generation. If we exclude foreign students from the Middle East, it is evident that even the "best and brightest" American students at elite universities are joining the ranks not because they were raised that way in their families, but due to the aggressive DEI environment within our educational system. This is their new religion with its indisputable covenants. These students have been influenced and, lacking real knowledge and education, they feel proud to protest against Israel and the Jewish people, whom they see as culprits of the difficult impasse in the Middle East. They are zombied by the propaganda and disregard the facts. This is a new phenomenon that exemplifies the complete failure of our educational system. It not only highlights the troubling issue of antisemitism but also signifies the dire path that Western Civilization is currently heading unless significant changes are made to this educational framework.

Fabulously inaccurate! Netanyahu's treatment of Gaza like the Nazi ghettos of prewar Germany and his unsanctioned settlements and brutal poaching on Palestinian people and land in the West Bank have not gone unnoticed by hundreds of thousands of American youth. These students were not “imported” and Their “bias” didn’t exist in any material form before Netanyahu became Israel’s PM.

Poster slogans aside, I’ve yet to see any major network inverview protesters to assess whether their grievances are anti Israel and anti Netanyahu or anti Jew and antiemetic.

Curious as to how touring with Jordan Peterson is going. I do listen to his podcasts if I want to hear his guest. I know he's extremely intelligent and well readed, not that I agree with everything he says, but my biggest beef with him, is that he doesn't give his guests enough speaking time. This was evident with Helen Joyce who could probably match him for intellect.

I agree that JP can out talk his guests. However, I rather have JP be his authentic self, than to change is ways to suit what others expect and want from him. To be quite honest, it is the reason why JP is where he is, he won't shut his mouth or say what others want him to say. I would never ask JP to change in any way, and I ask the same of KK. He must never change how he says and does things just to appease the crowd. I sometimes disagree with what KK says and how he says it, but I would never ask him to change it.😘🤟

Because of his popularity and incredible range JP often gets wonderful guests. I turn on to listen to them and all I'm saying is if he invites them to his podcast, give them a chance to talk. He often talks over them.

I totally agree with you but JP, to me, has always done this whether he is the guest on a podcast or has people on his podcast. The first YouTube video I saw of him was when he was talking to Stephen Fry about beliefs. I can recall thinking very much the same way as you back then, this man is talking over Stephen Fry. JP kept on interrupting Fry's explanations and thoughts to finish it off in his own why. However, I have come to understand this is how JP works. This how he tries to understand his guest. It is flawed but it is authentic. It is frustrating when he does have interesting guests who should be given more chance to speak than JP. Somehow I feel the interveiw is more for JP to gain knowledge and understanding, than it is for his audience to that.

JP's interview manner of continously interrupting and talking over his guests is rude. As a fellow Canadian, this is a serious offense. If he graciously allowed his guests more space to interact, he would gain even more knowledge to add to his already sizable foundation.
