In this video Jimmy dissects Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement that he is reading Jews Against Rome by Barry Strauss and commenting, “Well, we lost that one. I think we have to win the next one” . He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger interpret this as Netanyahu declaring the United States—which he equates with “Rome”—the enemy, with one rabbi quoted as saying America and Europe “have to go down to their knees” before Israel.
Jimmy and Kurt connect these comments to the theological concept of “Amalek,” which some Israeli officials have used to justify actions against Palestinians, and argue that Zionist rhetoric frames the conflict as a continuation of the ancient struggle against Rome. The hosts conclude that this reveals a goal of destroying Western civilization rather than defending it, exposing the “Judeo-Christian” alliance as a lie.
