| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Is This Real Life, a Bravo podcast that relates our favorite shows to our own lives in the world around us. |
| 0:18.4 | I'm your host, Mandy Sleutzer. Let's get to it. |
| 0:34.7 | Hi, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. My week started out a little rough, and I've been debating |
| 0:40.6 | whether or not to talk about it on this platform. And I decided over the last couple of days, |
| 0:46.7 | I'm just going to do it regardless of what the response is to me. You guys know that I make this podcast about nuance, about life in the gray, |
| 1:00.7 | not in just the black and white, and looking at things from different perspectives and changing |
| 1:05.4 | our mind on things when we are presented with new information. And just in general, just being kind and empathetic |
| 1:13.6 | towards those people that we watch on TV and towards each other. I'm always blown away by |
| 1:21.0 | all of your insights and thoughts and how kind you can be when calling me out when I say something wrong or make a mistake |
| 1:30.4 | or get information incorrect. I always appreciate and learn from all of you. And we have a lot of |
| 1:37.0 | laughs and we share memes and it's a good time. And so I assume the people who follow me and who |
| 1:43.8 | listen to this podcast do it because |
| 1:46.8 | they like listening to it and because they appreciate nuance. And this week, I received some hate |
| 1:55.7 | that was so shocking that it really rocked the foundation of everything for me and made me question |
| 2:04.5 | who it is I've cultivated to follow me. And so I'm going to share this experience and how it made |
| 2:13.1 | me feel and just speak from my heart and hopefully you guys will listen if not just keep skipping |
| 2:20.6 | ahead till we get to my amazing guest, Nimade. So I posted last weekend about a sign that I saw |
| 2:30.8 | at my alma mater, the George Washington University, that was very hurtful and |
| 2:36.7 | anti-Semitic as part of the ongoing protest against the Gaza War. Now, let me make it very clear, |
| 2:43.2 | I have no problem with people protesting a war. The problem was with the anti-Semitism that it came with. And there was a poster about |
| 2:55.4 | Israelis and Jews going back to Europe or the U.S., quote-unquote, their real homes. And not only |
| 3:06.1 | is it anti-Semitic, it's incredibly ignorant because most Israelis don't even have any ties to Europe. |
