    Huh Shapiro calls himself an Orthodox Jew at 11:35 in this interview but I was under the impression they were anti-zionism whereas I get the impression he’s not that. Are there two different groups claiming Orthodox?

    Also I have to say Andrew Neil is a big fucking shitbag but he’s a bloody fucking good interviewer when he put on appearances of being less biased at the BBC. He’s shit now that he’s not there.

      Orthodox isn’t just one thing, there are a lot of different sects. one sect are the guys who hate Israel because they don’t believe Israel can exist until the Messiah comes or whatever. another sect are the terrorist settlers.

      I don’t pretend to be knowledgeable about judaism but he’s also very very loud about abortion even though I was under the impression judaism does not forbid it? He talks about “judeo-christian” values an awful lot because he knows his target audience.
