Project Veritas Kicks James O’Keefe Out!? [12:06] JP Reacts
Some interesting news dropped this week. The Project Veritas board has apparently kicked out its founder James O’Keefe. Some say this is a coup attempt. It’s definitely fishy, to say the least. James has arguably been the most influential person in journalism since founding the company in 2010. I dive into this and the theories surrounding it in my latest reaction video.

The Pervasive Assault on Israel by Jews: Why Does this Hatred Persist? By Alex Grobman, PhD
February 02, 2017 – The ubiquitous denigration, demonization and holding Israel to a double standard by those whom Daniel Greenfield calls “tenured academics, progressive journalists and irreligious clergy for whom Jewish values, like American values, mean appeasement and surrender to terrorists,” is an ongoing problem, although not a new one.
As early as May 1, 1936 Labor Zionist leader Berl Katznelson asked: “Is there another people on earth whose sons are so emotionally twisted that they consider everything their nation does despicable and hateful, while every murder, rape and robbery committed by their enemies fills their hearts with admiration and awe? As long as a Jewish child…can come to the land of Israel, and here catch the virus of self-hate…let not our conscience be still.”
In an article in Haaretz, attorney Uri Silber calls this phenomena “the Jew Flu: the strange illness of Jewish anti-Semitism” and “its Jewish anti- and post-Zionist mutations, afflicting a small,” but very vociferous minority of Jews. “Those infected with the virus exaggerate Israeli sins real or imagined, while excusing or rationalizing Palestinian Arab anti-Semitism and outrages against Jews.”
Silber asks, is Jew Flu a genuine illness? Michael Welner, a world-renowned forensic psychiatrist, who is Chairman of The Forensic Panel and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, submits that Jewish anti-Semitism is similar to a personality disorder, enabling an individual to “derive some psychological benefit from this pathological thinking.”
