This episode of the Elders of Zionism podcast, Protocol 44, finds Judah Friedman and Guy Goldstein opening at (00:01) with Guy's new Substack article, a love letter to the idea of France, and the unrest burning across the country. At (03:41) Guy argues that once the Palestinian flag appears at a protest, violence has been declared permissible, and at (09:05) he says the West is no longer watching protests or riots but a globalized intifada that no policy, police force or change of government can settle. At (11:10) they look at what October 7th tested and who failed, then turn at (12:48) to Trump's early read on protest movements and why the 2020 loss may have been a blessing. Trump's endorsement of Netanyahu is unpacked at (16:37), Judah corrects last week's Polymarket comment at (17:29), and the two argue at (18:44) that antisemitism will not end when Netanyahu leaves office. Guy gives the two minute guide to how Israeli elections work at (24:12), followed at (26:00) by a look at the Arab parties and Arab voters in the Knesset. At (28:34) they take up JD Vance's CBS town hall and his Tucker Carlson problem, and at (33:54) they split the American immigration debate into its southern border and Islamic immigration halves, with Guy crediting Marco Rubio and the H1B pushback at (36:22). The settler violence story and the refugee status loophole run from (37:39), the collapsing standards for disqualifying a candidate from (43:02), the Macklemore donation to a terrorist-linked group from (45:33), and the BBC calling the French riots mostly peaceful from (48:47). At (50:19) Guy surveys the rightward shift from Brazil to France, Britain, Germany and Spain, and closes at (52:59) on why civilization means planting trees whose shade you will never sit under.
