Joe Rogan's Israel Problem | Gad Saad, "Suicidal Empathy" & When Lies Become Common Sense
Ami's House
Joe Rogan pushed back hard on Gad Saad about Israel and we break down what that moment reveals: false narratives have become mainstream common sense. Michael Weber returns to unpack it all.
Joe Rogan recently had Gad Saad on to discuss his book "Suicidal Empathy" and what happened on that show reveals something deeply disturbing: anti-Israel narratives have become so mainstream that even people without malicious intent are now holding opinions rooted in falsehoods.
Michael Weber returns to Ami's House for his first appearance in months to break down this cultural moment. They cover what Joe Rogan's aggressive pushback on Gad Saad signals, why the "genocide" label has been normalized through propaganda, how the Jewish lobby trope seeps into well-meaning people, and what the real conspiracy is Qatar, China, and Russia funding anti-Israel sentiment in academia.
Plus: a moving story from a Manhattan synagogue that captures just how much has shifted and what it means for how we engage with this conversation going forward.
