Zionism and The Left (Ft. Overzealots )

In this week’s episode, I am joined by Isaac Zale of the rising socialist YouTube channel “Overzealots” who has most recently gained traction for his videos critiquing “commentary” YouTubers like Ethan Klein and Streamers like Destiny, who are currently “at war” with pro-Palestine leftist figures like Hasan Piker (Hasanabi). 

In this episode, I ask Issac about his journey from a conscious rapper to “LeftTuber”, how he was “radicalized” and how being loudly critical of Israel made him isolated in the music industry. Most importantly, we discuss the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the untold history of Israel, why America really supports Israel, and the myths of “liberal zionism.” 

In The Backroom on Patreon, Issac and I talk about The Global Gender Political Divide, in which I pitch my theory of what is causing it, what most leftists miss, and how this contributes to Men moving to the right.  Become a Patron at ⁠Patreon.com/OneDime⁠ if you haven’t already!
