Money, money, money. It’s always about money. The much more important question of what these left-wing influencers are actually going to say is never addressed. Will they call everybody a racist and a homophobe? That’s already been done a million times over and everybody is tired of it. It’s not the money the Left lacks. It’s ideas.
Beyond name-calling, what have you got?

Awww, it’s cute they think they can buy that Joe Rogan magic. Even after it walked away from them in disgust.

To be fair, why wouldn’t they believe that? They’ve successfully socially engineered our societies to support BLM, climate hysteria, anti-natalism, etc. They have to be feeling good about their chances to psyop americans once again.

They overplayed their hand by doing these ever-more outrageous performances. After insurrection, an apocalypse in 12 years, and “literal Nazis”, what’s left? Everybody is jaded at this point.

True. I used to follow standup comedy back in the day but after Trump it became unbearably preachy. The absolute nadir came in 2018 in the form of Nanette, an hour long netflix comedy special in which Hannah Gadsby spent all her time recounting her trauma, including an account of getting beaten up by a man because she was a lesbian.
Exactly what I want to listen to on a saturday night in a comedy club, out with my date.

No. Its not always about money. The strategic interests of nation states not simplified to such basic greed only.
The British ignore the Israeli staff members, engaged to be married, brutally murdered in Washington DC. They promote their UN 242 British French written attempt to return Israel to its pre Six Day War borders! The borders which prevailed when both England and France invaded Egypt to seize the Suez Canal in 1956. Israel categorically rejects Europe’s Two State Solution. Based upon the simple fact that (1) it only promotes European imperialism (2) it has never worked when applied – ever.
Your critique of the UK and EU as acting in a neo-imperial, Mandate-era fashion has strong historical resonance. UN Resolution 242, co-drafted by Britain and France post-Six-Day War, notably avoided calling for a complete withdrawal from all territories, instead framing it ambiguously. That resolution continues to be used selectively by European powers to pressure Israel — even as these same powers neglect to acknowledge how their own imperial legacies (e.g. Sykes-Picot, the 1956 Suez Crisis) created much of the current instability in the region.
The invocation of humanitarian principles by leaders like Lammy, Macron, and Kallas may mask what is, from an Israeli view, an ongoing campaign to impose a framework that privileges European geopolitical interests and weakens Israel’s sovereignty in determining its security strategy.
The British and EU response, especially given the brutal murders of Israeli citizens on foreign soil, smacks of selective moralism. Their unwillingness to confront antisemitic violence directly or to center the 590+ day hostage crisis in Gaza reflects an imbalance in diplomatic concern.
While Israel is heavily criticized for its military campaign and the humanitarian crisis, there is comparatively minimal European pressure on Hamas — a terrorist organization using human shields, rejecting ceasefire proposals, and diverting aid.
Israel’s firm stance against the current form of the Two-State Solution reflects decades of failed negotiations, Palestinian internal division, and the strategic abuse of land concessions (as in Gaza post-2005). From Israel’s standpoint, “land for peace” has produced neither peace nor security.
Many in Israel view the European model as obsolete, grounded in a 20th-century diplomatic vision that ignores present-day asymmetrical warfare, jihadi ideology, and the failure of Palestinian political institutions. Hence, the Israeli response frames such external pressure as both tone-deaf and dangerous.
While the UK and EU may see this as an assertion of liberal democratic values, Israel perceives it as a betrayal of mutual interests — particularly amid Iranian regional aggression and surging antisemitism in Europe.
Israel’s pivot toward strengthening relations with the U.S., India, Gulf states (under the Abraham Accords), and tech-forward Asian economies signals a reorientation away from dependency on the increasingly adversarial EU. If Europe continues leveraging economic and political agreements to impose ideological conditions, Israel may respond by further decoupling diplomatically, betting on partners who do not predicate alliance on compliance with disputed international norms.
A deeper political and philosophical rupture: Europe’s invocation of universalist ethics versus Israel’s insistence on particularistic national survival. For many Israelis, the war in Gaza is not a humanitarian crisis of their own making but the unavoidable result of a genocidal neighbor-state hybrid entity entrenched in civilian areas. For Europeans, the war is a test of human rights values. The gap between these worldviews is widening — and may well lead to a historic recalibration in Israeli-European relations.

When Israel came out of Egypt the Torah teaches the prophetic mussar that Amalek-Anti-Semitism attacked the weary weak stragglers of Israel. Next the Torah defines these “Israelites” as lacking fear of Elohim. A reference to “Baal Shem Tov or Master of the Good Name. Not the Hassidic founder that goes by this Title, but a reference to the obligation of the Israelites to strive to protect and maintain their Good Name reputations. Hence the term “Fear of Heaven”.
The 2nd Sinai commandment: do not worship other Gods. The Monotheism preached by the Av tumah avoda zarah of Islam decapitates the 2nd Commandment of the Sinai revelation. If only One God then impossible to worship other Gods; like in the case of Par’o and Egypt. Therefore, what caused or generated the Torah curse of Amalek? Answer: Jewish avoda zarah – the direct 2nd Sinai commandment! How does the Torah define the 2nd commandment? Through the precedent negative commandments (1) Do not ask how the Goyim worship their Gods, that Israel might to likewise. This negative commandment interpreted to mean (A) Do not assimilate the cultures and Customs of the Goyim who reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, like as both Xtianity and Islam clearly do. Neither the bible nor the koran counterfeit faiths ever once bring or mention the Name revealed in the 1st Sinai commandment. Translating the Divine Presence Spirit, revealed in the 1st Sinai commandment to other words; in Hebrew the Sin of the Golden Calf – these are the אלהים/Gods who brought you out of Egypt. Hence since nothing in the Heavens, Earth, or Seas compares to the revelation of the Spirit Name revealed in the First Sinai commandment, therefore translating this Spirit Name to other words, such as Allah or Jesus or Father etc — herein defines the k’vanna of the substitute theology of the sin of the Golden Calf.
Consequently, when Israelites violated the 2nd Sinai commandment – the result of their assimilation to the customs and culture of Egypt and intermarried with Egyptians ie ערב רב/mixed multitudes – this avoda zarah destroyed their Good Name reputations making them “weak exhausted stragglers”. Not physically weak and exhausted but spiritually weak and exhausted! Who brought Israel out of Egypt HaShem or the strong and mighty hand of Israel? The Torah teaches the prophetic mussar that HaShem brought Israel out of Egypt! Hence whenever Jews assimilate and embrace the cultures and customs practiced by Goyim who reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, as do Xtians and Muslim religions, Amalek the Torah curse plagues Israel like as did the 10 plagues which cursed Egypt and Par’o. Jewish avoda zarah caused the Torah curse of Amalek in all generations.
