Watch the Full Interview
I recently joined Mike Leavitt again on his show And If Love Remains, this time to discuss the release of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from prison as well as my new free e-book (and audiobook) A Brief History of Palestine: From Canaan through the Mandate Era.
Bullet-Point Summary
Topics we discussed include:
- How Julian Assange was long persecuted by the US government for exposing its criminal activities.
- Why Assange’s release from prison is fantastic news, although the downside remains that the US government has effectively criminalized the practice of journalism.
- How WikiLeaks’ role in exposing the fundamentally undemocratic system in the US led the Democratic Party in collaboration with the Deep State to perpetrate the whole “Russiagate” hoax.
- How Americans are indoctrinated from a young age into what I call “the state religion”, and why it is so critical for people to free themselves from this mental slavery.
- Why I had stopped writing about the Israel-Palestine conflict entirely in recent years until I returned to the topic because of the Hamas-led attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, and Israel’s genocidal retaliation in Gaza.
- How I came to write my freely downloadable e-book A Brief History of Palestine: From Canaan through the Mandate era (also downloadable as an audiobook narrated by me).
- How Christian Zionists who “support Israel no matter what” somehow manage to overlook the central theme of the Hebrew Tanakh, or what Christians call “The Old Testament”.
- Why many Orthodox Jews viewed the Zionist movement as heretical (and why there are still Orthodox Jews who are anti-Zionist).
- How key Biblical narratives cited by Jewish and Christian Zionists are unsupported by archaeological evidence.
- The surprising truths that genetic studies have revealed about the ancestry of Jews and Palestinians.
- Why the argument that all of Mandatory Palestine belonged to “the Jews” is totally nonsensical.
- Why the claims that there was never any place called “Palestine”, that Arabs only recently immigrated to the area, and that the very idea of a “Palestinian” people is a modern invention are all idiotic hoaxes.
- How the faux “libertarian” argument from genocide apologists Walter Block and Alan Futerman that the root cause of the conflict is inherent Arab anti-Semitism is contradicted even by their own cited sources.
- How one major reason for Western support for the Zionist movement was rampant anti-Semitism (and the two other major reasons why the British government issued its infamous Balfour Declaration policy).
- How Jews, Christian Arabs, and Muslim Arabs had peaceful relations in Palestine until the Zionist movement.
- Why the claim that Arab states in 1948 launched an aggressive war to wipe Israel off the map is ahistorical nonsense.
- Why the popular belief that the UN created Israel is a myth.
- Why the ongoing genocide in Gaza is an effort to finish the job that was started in 1948 when Israel was created by ethnically cleansing most of the Arab population from their homes in Palestine.
- How the US-led so-called “peace process” was always the means by which Israel and its superpower benefactor blocked implementation of the two-state solution.
- Why Israel to this day does not meet the definition of statehood under international law.
- Why to achieve a just peace requires Americans to awaken to the true nature of the conflict (as opposed to persisting in delusional beliefs resulting from indoctrination into Zionist propaganda narratives).

Mentioned Books
Here are the books of mine mentioned during the show:
- Free e-Book + Audiobook: A Brief History of Palestine: From Canaan through the Mandate Era
- Obstacle to Peace: The US Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Extremely interesting. I didn’t have time to go through everything. Are you aware of Red Jihad? Essentially a lot of evidence (including kgb whistleblowers) that jihad was non existent until KGB started meddling in Middle East in order to destabilize the region for cheap commodities
This goes hand in hand with Zionism. Zionist are communist. They use communist propaganda. The same that is used to manipulate people into believing there was a genocide of native Americans by the evil whites whose land and wealth is “stolen”
I’ve never heard this “Red Jihad” idea before. As for American history, there was certainly ethnic cleansing of natives and arguably genocide.
