e's a Hamas TV but I guess there is. It's not MSNBC. It's a Hamas TV. You could get those two confused, I know. But the grandmother said that the jihad against the Jews is a top priority of the Palestinian people. And she said directly that she's ready to sacrifice all of her 17 children. She has 17 children and 65 grandchildren. So she's willing for all of her children and all of her grandchildren to become martyrs for the cause of killing Jews and taking over the Jewish land.

Now can Israel get any luckier with its enemies? If you ever had a chance to choose your enemies, the one you should choose would be the one who says yes, go ahead and please kill all of my children and all of my grandchildren because we'll be quite happy about that situation. You know, we go to heaven and stuff. I mean they're making it kind of easy for Israel to do what it must do to protect itself. Now isn't the biggest conversation about Gaza has been who killed whose babies? Right, because we don't care about adults as much as babies. So it's like your babies, you killed my babies, you killed my children, no you killed more of my children. It's all about killing children because that's the most powerful mental model that alarms us the most. So of course we'd see the most of that. But here's somebody who actually says, you know, I don't mind if you kill my children and grandchildren as long as we're working on this mission to kill you. That really does give Israel a free hand.

Can I say this directly? I don't know if I can say this directly and stay on social media. I'll say it maybe indirectly. If you create a situation where your enemy has no choice but to kill your children, your enemy has a free pass. They have an ethical and moral free pass to kill all of your children if you've stated I have trained my children to grow up and kill you even at the risk of their life. Nothing shall stop my children. My children, I encourage you to go out and kill the enemy. The enemy has an absolute total ethical right to kill all of your children. Let me say it as directly as possible. People like this grandmother, and she does not speak for all Palestinians, I should say that for sure, doesn't speak for all of them. But unfortunately the world is going to see messages like this and they're going to say, you know what, if Israel killed all of their children it would be a horror beyond imagination and completely justified from a self-defense perspective. Those both can be true. From a conscience perspective it's the worst thing you could even imagine, killing anybody's children intentionally. From a self-defense perspective, absolutely necessary.

So let me say it directly. It's hard for me to have sympathy for people who have weaponized their own children. How do I do that? I'm not sure I can even muster any, honestly. It's a cruel world and terrible things happen and I wish it didn't happen. I very much wish nobody's children got killed. But if you weaponize your children and then you brag about it, the other team gets to kill your kids. That's just the way it is. So that's good for Israel. That takes a lot of pressure off them from at least the mental part that people would put on them.

So given those examples, let us go to the whiteboard. I want to give you my impression of what's happened in the brainwashing landscape. So as I said, when I was a kid the model was the government would influence TV. You know, the CIA specifically would have lots of influence over the TV and they'd tell the TV, you do a lot of patriotic stuff, make sure the people love America and think we're awesome. Make sure you do a lot of melting pot stuff. Make sure we're all getting along, that sort of thing. So they controlled largely what the schools taught and what the TV taught you indirectly. So then the kids were taught capitalism, patriotism, and the melting pot. So that was my experience.

Now again, the patriotism part probably turned America into a bunch of, how many of you would agree with that? I love America. I think we're awesome. But I think it went too far. I think
