Serendipitously, I came across this TikTok video on LinkedIn and created a transcript of Hayden’s remarks. He covers a lot of historical and geopolitical ground in 1 minute and 19 seconds.
Kudos to Hayden for speaking truth to power.
(0:00) I’m Jewish, and as a result, the state of Israel will literally give me an all-expenses-paid (0:04) vacation to come visit, and on this trip, they will plant IDF soldiers, who will also (0:09) get to enjoy this vacation, with the purpose of, one, humanizing the soldiers who are carrying (0:16) out their violent colonialism, but also, I don’t know, maybe I’ll find one of them attractive (0:21) and we’ll hook up and settle down and I’ll get to marry an Israeli. (0:24) Also as a benefit of my Jewishness, if I wanted an Israeli citizenship, I could get it like (0:29) that, and not only will I be a citizen of the state of Israel, but the government will (0:34) literally give me the money, resources, and weapons to go to the West Bank and steal a (0:40) Palestinian’s home, and if I happen to kill a Palestinian while doing that, the punishment (0:45) I will get will be like barely a slap on the wrist. (0:48) But if a Palestinian literally has the keys to the home that their family has lived in (0:52) for hundreds of years, that is meaningless in the eyes of Israel.(0:56) And if a Palestinian child throws a rock at the tank that is currently rolling through (1:01) their town that the bulldozers just demolished, they will be arrested and held indefinitely (1:06) with no trial. (1:08) So I can’t imagine why people would call Israel an ethnostate built on the idea of Jewish supremacy.
