7:40 – I am pro-Israel in the Palestinian conflict, hating Jews based on jealousy, supporting Israel is a pro-Conservative stance

42:34 – Reading the 'College Fix' article, cancel culture on anti-LGTQ predicted speech going against groupthink, Christianity is uniquely regularly cancelled compared to other religions, Left like Hamas fear alternative viewpoints
55:03 – Closing thoughts, WW3, Hamas could win through sabotage of society
