Antisemite and white nationalist, Vincent James didn't take
kindly to TYT's coverage of antisemites like Kanye West and
his appearance on Alex Jones's show.
And so he decided to do a video response to one of our rants and
there have been many for good reason.
So let's take a quick look.
>> There parading around literally a mentally ill person
who is spewing the most vicious antisemitic garbage about
a man who slaughtered millions of people, slaughtered them.
I like that's what he said, he said that he liked him.
He did some great things.
What did he do? That was so great.
I just can't with these people.
>> What's worse slaughtering one person, slaughtering millions of people or
a group of people slaughtering Jesus Christ?
>> So let's reframe the question he asked, which by the way,
is a disgusting way of framing things because he is essentially
justifying the slaughter of millions of people during the holocaust.
Because he doesn't have his facts right.
And thinks that in his words, the Jews killed Jesus.
Which by the way, I'm not a religious person.
But if you believe in religion, if you believe in the gospel,
what he's saying is not true and I'll get into that in just a moment.
But first I wanna get a reaction from you, Ben.
>> Well, I mean that's it's the most insane comparison I've ever heard.
First of all, there wouldn't be Christianity if Jesus were not killed and
he's God himself and God's son.
And so I'm pretty sure what happened to him was part of a plan to happen and
was prophecy and predicted and all of that good stuff.
You can share more details on that in a minute.
But even aside from that, if a God is truly Godly wouldn't
one death be far less bad than millions of deaths.
Then millions of people not slaughtered
almost makes it sound too easy to gloss over
put in gas chambers burned in crematoriums.
I visited Dargah in Germany and was sick to my stomach,
looking at the still standing crematoriums and gas chambers.
I stood there in the chambers where my family was brutally executed for
zero reason other than the religion they were born into.
How people like this with their dark shadowy followings
of disgusting human beings, Subhumans are allowed on
any platform is so inappropriate and so disgusting.
Those platforms should be ashamed of themselves.
They should root this out as their highest priority.
Any hate, whether it's against Jews or any group.
>> I mean, it's something I see often with hateful people
who like to hide behind religion to provide cover for their hate, right?
And in this case, that's exactly what he's doing.
Like at the end of the day,
he just hates Jewish people like that's what this is really about.
It's not just Jewish people.
I mean, I had the unique displeasure of having to look at his content and
get a better grasp on who he is and what his beliefs are.
He thinks he's pro life, except he just advocated for
the slaughter of millions of people.
>> Yeah. >> He provided cover for that and
used his alleged religion to hide behind as he's spewing his disgusting hate.
And like let's actually look again, I'm not religious.
I grew up going to Sunday School.
So I'm familiar with Christianity, that's what I was raised into,
but I'm now an atheist.
So I think the idea of using religion as the excuse to slaughter people is so
ridiculous and so unbelievably hateful.
But here's what the reality is.
Okay, you referenced a little bit of it, Ben,
but I wanna get into more details here because this is a myth.
It's deicide and it is a myth associated to deicide.
Now, Historians and Christian leaders have agreed that the claim is baseless.
They have agreed people who actually know what they're talking about.
People who know the gospel inside and out say this is complete Bs.
In the new testament, Jesus is said to have been tried in a Jewish judicial
body called the Sanhedrin before being turned over to Roman authorities.
Time and time again,
these circumstances have been cited as proof of Jewish deicide.
Now one of the earliest and clearest examples appears in Matthew
27:25, written several decades after the events.
In fact between 40 to 70 years after the events when
Pontius Pilate second-guesses his decision to have Jesus crucified,
Jews are caricatured as a bloodthirsty lynch mob.
But most scholars agree that the gospels were written some 40 to 70 years after
the crucifixion.
And this narrative is patently false.
Okay, while certain leaders in the local Jewish community felt that Jesus'
teachings were politically subversive, experts have gathered that Jesus was not
perceived as particularly threatening or enraging to the Jewish people around him.
The Romans killed Jesus for treason and rebellion by the way.
Modern readers misinterpret the trial of Jesus as a conflict between Jews and
Christianity, but this does not square with the Jewish origins of Christianity or
with the fact that Christianity emerged years after Jesus's death.
The only non-Jews present in the story of Jesus' crucifixion were the Romans.
In fact, so that's from the anti defamation League slate
had a piece back in 2001, that provides even more clarity on this.
And they write because the Jews were rebelling against the Romans,
a repudiation of Christian kinship with the Jews could be politically
advantageous.
It is for these reasons, the scholars argue,
that the Gospels 1 assign primary blame to the Jews, not the Romans, and
2 sympathetically portray Pilate, I don't know if I'm saying that.
>> Pilate. >> Pilate.
That's right, I looked it up and I forgot immediately.
You're right, Pilate. >> You're not a religious
doctrine for this.
>> Pontius Pilate.
Who is described in other ancient texts as a cruel despot.
Additionally, many scholars have stressed Jesus' identity as a political subversive,
which would explain why the Romans chose a means of execution, crucifixion,
usually reserved for insurrectionists.
And there's more including the fact that the catholic church has rejected
the myths as well.
Pope Francis said that the myth is false and is not supported by scripture.
And then final graphic for you.
The catholic church under Pope Paul VI finally discredited the notion
of Jewish deicide in 1964 in its Declaration on the Relation of
the Church to Non-Christian Religions, published by the Second Vatican Council.
In no uncertain terms, the Declaration states that the crucifixion of
Jesus cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction,
then alive, nor against the Jews of today.
I mean, look at the end of the day, what that guy advocated for or
provided cover for was the slaughter of six million jewish people.
That's what he did. And
it wasn't just jewish people who were killed during the holocaust.
Let's be clear about that.
But they were one of the main targets and
people are still experiencing the overwhelming pain that
came with that insane tragedy that happened in the world.
And all these little creeps are coming out of the woodwork,
coming out from the shadows to share just how hateful they really are.
And they're using religion to hide behind it.
>> 100% Ana and my inbox has been filled since on the main show on
Friday went off on Kanye and his insane despicable antisemitism and
the cover provided for him by Trump and others.
My inbox has been filled now thankfully overwhelmingly with kind people
showing support and saying that it brought them to tears.
And they feel so terrible and
they are there as an ally with the Jewish people and have our backs.
But I've gotten dozens of hate filled, disgusting antisemitism,
horrible jokes, making light of murdering and
committing genocide against the Jewish people.
Like disgusting jokes in my inbox with crying, laughing emojis,
just mocking to my face the murder of my own family.
>> Yep.
>> What has anything that happened in the Bible to do with modern day?
Even if a Jewish person did kill Jesus, which apparently has been discredited,
even if so you don't hate on the descendants of that religion.
Thousands of years later, I go to Germany and have fun hanging out in Germany,
I don't have anything against the German people.
I have things against modern day Nazis who are currently espousing the beliefs.
It's about what you do as a people today.
You can never move forward as a planet if people aren't able to
get past the divisions of the past.
You have to be able to forgive the past, as long as somebody now or
a group of people now are repentant and are good people now.
And disavow those horrible actions of the past.
And if they do they can be your full allies and best friends and partners and
romantic partners and whatever you want in life, whatever you need.
When people hold on to these past beliefs,
that's when there's a bridge you can't cross.
And words still when they espouse it and still make cover for it and
normalize the behavior of the most disgusting elements in our society.
It just cannot be allowed anymore.
And it still happens.
It is still happening.
I'm sorry to continue calling out comedian buddies of mine.
But this comedian that I've been friendly with Tony Hinchcliffe is doing a show
coming up in LA and his poster.
It's called Tony Hinchcliffe and people are still his friends.
And there's Netanyahu on the poster and then there's Hitler on the poster and
Kanye on the poster.
>> What?
>> And the show is sold out.
This is a joke.
And I called him out in his comments, I'm like that is disgusting dude.
And he goes I said how desperate you sell tickets?
And he goes it's sold out lol you weirdo.
And I said well you're not the first person to figure out that hate sells but
have some standards.
This is the problem.
This is the exact problem with the normalization of hate.
People think it's and the comments were predominantly hilarious poster man
[LAUGH] love it, and that is the quick creeping in of incredibly dangerous,
poisonous, hatred, bigotry, racism in this country.
That is allowed by people who think it's funny, who don't stand up for things,
who wanna take advantage of moments to sell tickets.
Screw you straight to hell for doing that enough.
>> Yeah.
No, it's really incredible how many of our fellow Americans really stand for nothing.
>> Yep.
>> And at the end of the day, when you go home and you feel empty inside,
it's because you've decided to chase the views, the cash, whatever you thought
would get you the attention you needed to make some quick money.
But at the end of the day, look at the world around you, and
look at the environment you created around you.
When you don't stand for anything, when you have no principles or values and
you don't take care of your just your fellow man, right?
You look out for people, that's the whole point of life.
To me that's what spirituality and religion is.
It's about lending a hand, looking out for people, and
wanting to watch people thrive and succeed.
And if your entire existence is just consumed with hate or
justifying the hate or exploiting that hate for dollars,
you make the bed that you're gonna sleep in and I wouldn't wanna sleep in that bed.
>> That is what gets you into Heaven if Heaven exists.
Obviously I talk about this in my special that the whole segment about God's gonna
care if you got his name, right?
Why would He care if you got his name, right?
He cares if he follows His beliefs.
If He teaches, follow His principles, his teachings.
And if you're someone who calls yourself religious and is okay with or
laughs at or even stand silent in the face of hate towards any group,
even that not of your own, you are a horrible evil person.
And if hell exists, that's where you're going.
