What a delusional take by Cenk. 16:50

“I didn’t know there was mass immigration from Israel into Paris.

and turn on cable news now and you will see one politician after another and one anchor after another talking about the Islamists, the jihadists, the Muslims in the streets.

They’re the ones doing this to invert reality so that you support Israel and their next war that will drive up fuel prices even more and food prices even more.

And then they’ll say, “No, no, no. It’s not the French or the Italians, by the way, or the Belgians.

No, it’s always the Muslims that are at fault.

And that’s what the real issue here is. You see, our mainstream media is not news.

It is propaganda.

And amazingly, it’s propaganda for a different country”

The only time I watched the Young Turks was election night 2016 and 2024.

I’m keeping it that way.

Not this time, not enough Jews in France (they were almost entirely killed three generations ago). But I'll give you a hint... it is another Semitic group and their religious followers.

Goodness gracious. Is anybody keeping track of how many “real reasons France is burning” there are so far? It seems like Occam’s Razor may come in handy right about now. It seems like there should be a common denominator.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found it.

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:21-22 (ESV)

Sadly, we’re heading over the same cliff.

Cenk Uygur is lying as usual.

Grok:

No. The claim that the United States has spent $8 trillion on Israel (as framed by TYT/Cenk Uygur) is false. It conflates total estimated costs of the post-9/11 wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, and related operations) with direct U.S. aid or spending specifically for Israel.​
Actual direct U.S. aid to Israel

Cumulative bilateral aid since Israel's founding (1948/1949 onward) is in the range of roughly $150–350 billion, depending on the exact methodology:
Non-inflation-adjusted (current dollars): around $150–180 billion (including military, economic, and missile defense).
Inflation-adjusted: commonly cited figures are ~$250–320 billion (or higher in some recent tallies that include more categories), with military aid making up the large majority in recent decades.​
Annual baseline under the current 10-year Memorandum of Understanding (through 2028): about $3.8 billion per year ($3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing that must largely be spent on U.S. equipment + ~$500 million for cooperative missile defense programs such as Iron Dome).
Since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack and the ensuing Gaza war (and related regional fighting), additional/emergency military assistance has been substantial—estimates from Brown University's Costs of War project and related reporting put direct military aid to Israel in the first ~1–2 years in the $18–22 billion range (a record annual spike), plus several billion more for related U.S. regional operations (e.g., against Houthis). Total U.S. costs tied to the post-Oct 7 period have been reported in the low tens of billions.​
These are large absolute numbers and make Israel the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since World War II, but they are orders of magnitude below $8 trillion.
Where the $8 trillion figure comes from
Brown University's Costs of War project (and related analyses by economists such as those associated with Joseph Stiglitz) has estimated the total economic costs of the U.S. post-9/11 wars—primarily Afghanistan and Iraq, plus related operations, homeland security increases, veterans’ care, and interest on the debt incurred—at roughly $8 trillion (as of the early-to-mid 2020s; figures vary slightly by cutoff date and what is included).​
TYT and similar voices have described these wars as effectively “Israel's wars” or a “global war on Israel's enemies/neighbors,” thereby attributing the full $8 trillion (or similar large sums) to support for Israel. That is an interpretive political claim about motives and consequences, not a factual accounting of money transferred to or spent directly on behalf of Israel. The bulk of those costs involved U.S. forces, contractors, veterans’ benefits, and interest in theaters that were not primarily “for Israel.”
Bottom line
Direct U.S. assistance to Israel: hundreds of billions over ~75 years (plus recent wartime supplements in the tens of billions).
Broader post-9/11 war costs: ~$8 trillion.
Equating the two is inaccurate. Claims of “$8 trillion on Israel” (or even higher figures sometimes circulated) do not hold up against the actual aid data or the standard accounting of war costs.

Pitching or catching? There’s a world of difference.

Yup, God wanted to be the king of Israel and they rejected him and the vast majority of them also reject Christ today. Amazing how hardly anybody checks the bible to see what happened and where we're going before shooting off their mouths. Next thing you know they will call God an antisemite. All a bad path to be on if you're expecting something good to happen to you.

One of the readons, aside from Islam, is that France is a stratified society, where those on top stay on top. Those not, stay on the bottom. France only allowed third worlders into the country to do the grunge work and the grungers have come to realize they would always be at the bottom no matter what they did.
