The video shows Michael Yon making false claims regarding so-called "terrorists coming across the border being funded by Jewish money." Yon was speaking at a "Take Back Our Border" convoy in Texas.

In the video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the man can be heard claiming that HIAS, a global Jewish nonprofit that works to protect refugees, is responsible for funding terrorists coming to America.

25% of the Jews I know on social media are still flying the I stand with Israel flag.

How many Jews do you know and how many of that 25% claim that any criticism of Israel is antisemitism? Because otherwise, I'm not sure why that's relevant.

I always hate fighting with you. It's tiring.

How many is a good number, 5, 10, 20, 50 where's that line exactly that makes it right versus wrong? There are certain number that makes it worth it for you?

The industry I'm in has a fair amount of Jewish people. We get a lot of employees from friends and family.

It's not until this most recent conflict that we've had problems in a point of view.

You gave an anecdotal example that gave a statistic which didn't actually support your point.

Asking you for a number based on that statistic doesn't seem out of order.

Your claim, if you have forgotten, was that 25% of the Jews you know support Israel, therefore we need to differentiate between two types of antisemitism even though one of them isn't antisemitism.

So, again, I think 'how many people is that and how many of them actually believe that critics of Israel are antisemitic' are fair questions.

If you do mean to suggest that any Jew that supports Israel thinks any non-Israel supporter is antisemitic... well that is an antisemitic stereotype in and of itself. That is real antisemitism, assuming what Jews believe without them making it explicit to you. And I can tell you for a fact that there are Jews who support Israel and accept that others do not and also aren't antisemites.
