Weekly Q&A with Glenn Greenwald: September 3rd, 2026

The first one comes from Matthew M., who asked this, quote, Pretty soon we're going to be serving in Israel.

to pay off our Uber Eats orders.

I'm guessing you can tell what my request is about, Glenn, that Jerusalem Post op-ed about getting American soldiers to become serfs for Israel.

Hoping you could talk about that.

It's shocking to me that a major news outlet would vet and release something that atrocious.

All right, so what he's talking about there is something quite remarkable.

It is a op-ed in the Jerusalem Post, which is an Israeli newspaper, very large Israeli newspaper, quite old.

It's almost 100 years old.

It's English language, but it has a Hebrew version as well.

The founder of it is someone named Zvika Klein, who's an Israeli-American journalist born in Chicago to an American Jewish family, but like so many went to his real country, which was Israel.

And I saw this article circulating online, and it's so shocking that, as the questioner suggested, a major Israeli newspaper, a mainstream newspaper, would publish an argument like this.

It's so perfectly crafted to provoke the anger of most Americans in a way that almost is deliberately intended to do that.

Let's come up with the most grotesque and noxious argument that we can possibly think of that would make Americans hate us.

I've actually went and checked multiple times in terms of verifying it because I just couldn't believe that it was real.

And even though I went on the site and found it, I actually had to then verify the site.

I really didn't believe it.

But it really is true.

And it's not just some like one of those blogger submissions that just gets uploaded without the consent of the paper.

This is like an actual op-ed that went through an editorial process.

They get hundreds of op-eds.

Obviously, they can't publish most.

They choose which ones to publish.

And here's the one.

that they publish.
