did leave it as a voicemail questioned by calling two one nine two david p
let's listen to this question those and then respond
do art earthquake
some of that particular uh...
uh...
deride angle prereq for uh... are here
and irish
corral happen that they did we lose him
an ul me let me go back and play that again
let's see if we were before
and is crossing is that i've referenced that i'm jewish will contain crocker
arm or prepare for other uh... jewish people around here
and i was just wondering because correctly
arm how do you think you being
in pakistan
here why for how you view of the world
it this is a very difficult question to answer because
having always grown up in a jewish family
how can i say it well this is what would be different if i weren't jewish i mean
what eddie conservative agarwal christian uh... i have no idea it's very
highly louis you're jewish
hell can you really kwok qualify how
being jewish is intact in your world view and your life
uh...
not really having your right or you can do is look at other people and say well
maybe i'd be a bit more conservative maybe i'd be a bit more religious maybe
uh... bunny not that there are conservative jews and religious jews
right now i just i mean the area we grew up in bright
uh... is more of a secular progressive jewish area right up
net net signed with what you make of a question like this is the question in
some way an unfair question
i don't think so i think what uh... being jewish brings the equation is
uh...
i mean jews are sort of unique among minority groups in that
uh... the
the society as a general
old doesn't and has unrecognized
the fact that they are an oppressed group in any way and in part because
jews
differently from other oppressed groups have also succeeded
in certain respects and many societies including the u_s_
in nino important professions so there's that so i think it gives you
a sort of unique
view of the injustice of not recognizing injustice so
it's similar to other minority groups and also different in that
there's sort of in the inability of some people uh... people to recognize that
jews
all religion that minority group so i think it it's sort of pinpoints
a sense of injustice well the interesting thing also lewis's uh...
that with you do you think about the vote uh...
uh... the jewish people and that the amount of time for a walk through which
jews have been oppressed by different groups in relatively modern history
in current times
thousands of years ago
and then u
you you then say well you would think in that case that
you wouldn't really have still so much anti-semitism that seems to be based on
the existence of israel which is often completed using you often hear uh...
comments criticisms made of american jews who have never been to israel a
relatively secular whatever the case may be
based on policy
that is being affected by israel and it's funny because it doesn't that the
what the times describing it doesn't carry over to for example
if ireland does something that's uh...
that some group of individuals says that's really not good policy we think
that policies discriminatory whatever the case may be
are irish americans who are
third-generation americans already write it so they're they're the third
generation to be
board in the u_s_
or they want in with the policy of ireland and they're not and this is i
think were a lot of people get really well and that when you get into the
conspiracies nobody thinks there's this kind of
irish conspiracy to but that that spans across
country lines but it does appear to be the case with israel and jews even
though most jews have not been to israel
and and and that it's incredible how that happens
right i will say that definitely being jewish i think we can all agree
has certainly made its uh...
research and think a bit more about what is going on in israel and that that
situation because
that even though we're not israeli and we don't really that speak
uh...
in our personal lives about it on a regular basis right uh... people just
automatically
target us as being either knowledgeable or affiliated with uh...
with israel for certainly haven't and also we get lumped in for being quote
progressive
with a particular point of view on that as well
neither of which is based on any conversations with its rhetoric yeah
okayed so i think it's a keep the questions coming two one nine two david
