Trump breaks another leftist who takes a DNA test to prove she's a minority. It's October 16th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show, where Ezra explains why Elizabeth Warren is of little interest to many Americans.
00:09:38.260Anyways, everyone kept playing along with this, Emperor Has No Clothes Business, and Elizabeth Warren just got bolder and bolder because she got away with it.
00:09:46.480She started submitting, get this, traditional Indian recipes in cookbooks.
00:09:52.840This is from the Pow Wow Chow cookbook.
00:10:31.940But she was asked gently, and she answered thusly.
00:10:36.420Warren says her great-great-great-grandmother is Cherokee, but genealogists have yet to confirm that.
00:10:42.800Warren referenced a photo of her grandfather on her mantle as part of the family lore.
00:10:47.880My Aunt Bea has walked by that picture at least a thousand times, remarked that her father, my papa, had high cheekbones like all of the Indians do, because that's how she saw it.
00:11:03.820And she said, and your mother got those same great cheekbones, and I didn't.
00:11:09.260She thought this was the bad deal she had gotten in life.
00:11:12.880Is that how people talk about their own race?
00:11:17.880My Aunt Bea says she wanted high cheekbones like all of the Indians do.
00:22:12.220The analysis of Warren's DNA was done by Carlos Bustamante, a Stanford University professor and expert in the field who won a 2010 MacArthur Fellowship, also known as a genius grant, for his work on tracking population migration via DNA analysis.
00:22:27.320So you know the Boston Globe is doing some heavy lifting here.
00:22:30.100He concluded that the vast majority of Warren's ancestry is European.
00:23:57.080To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American?
00:24:09.700It's because scientists believe that the groups Americans referred to as Native American came to this land via the Bering Strait about 12,000 years ago and settled in what's now America but also migrated further south.
00:24:20.520So this genius geneticist didn't actually test if she's Native American.
00:24:26.880And he tested if she was Peruvian or Colombian.
00:24:32.560And maybe she has one 1,000th of her from Peru or Colombia.
00:24:38.540So she actually might have zero Native Indian.
00:26:10.940Yeah, no, that ain't quite true, is it?
00:26:14.060I mean, the white liberals believe it.
00:26:17.200But here's a press release by the Cherokee Nation.
00:26:20.160Actual Indians that she claims to be one of.
00:26:23.000I'll just quote the last two lines from their press release.
00:26:25.700They say it makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven.
00:26:37.880Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.
00:27:05.020I mean, if you actually believed in advance that this blonde-haired, blue-eyed, light-skinned lady was a woman of color before, why would you change your mind now?
00:27:15.200But for the rest of us not in the media political cult, yeah, she's a white girl.
00:28:55.880Well, as you may know, there is a technical definition of the word refugee.
00:29:00.360It's not just someone who calls himself a refugee under the United Nations rules themselves.
00:29:06.180You have to be fleeing an imminent danger based on some characteristics such as your race or religion.
00:29:12.860Therefore, to say that there are millions of Palestinian refugees living in Jordan, Lebanon, places like that, is just simply technically false.
00:29:23.560In fact, the actual number of Palestinian refugees, or Palestinians who were displaced when the state of Israel was created, is about 20,000 souls.
00:29:34.280The rest, who were counted by the UN, are the descendants of refugees.
00:29:38.780And they're no more refugees than, I suppose, I am if my own family left troubled parts of Europe a century ago.
00:29:46.200No, the reason I mention this is because Palestinian refugees are an industry into themselves, a multi-billion dollar industry, and an excuse to be weaponized against the state of Israel.
00:29:59.200Donald Trump has recently recognized this and has reduced American support for the Palestinian Authority, including for the UN Refugee Works Agency that pumps money into Hamas-controlled schools in the Gaza Strip.
00:30:15.160But Canada has decided to fill that gap.
00:30:18.420Joining me now to talk about this is Hillel Neuer, the executive director of the leading NGO called UN Watch.
00:30:26.440He joins us now via Skype from Geneva.
00:30:28.740Hillel, what a pleasure to have you on the show. Thanks for being here.
00:31:10.600In Jordan, it claims to have some 2 million Palestinians who are registered by UNRWA, the special agency for Palestinians, as, quote-unquote, refugees.
00:31:19.000The large majority of these 2 million individuals have Jordanian citizenship.
00:31:23.580So if you are a Jordanian citizen, how are you a refugee?
00:31:28.720The definition of the regular UN refugee agency, which is across the street from where I'm speaking to you right now, is that if you've found shelter somewhere, you're not under threat, and you have residency and citizenship of that new country.
00:31:43.280Like you gave an example of your family.
00:31:45.280My family fled to Canada in 1904, fleeing persecution from the Russian czar, and were welcomed in Canada, and no longer was a refugee.
00:31:53.920And my great-grandfather's children and grandchildren are not refugees.
00:31:57.560But somehow UNRWA has treated Palestinians who fled for whatever reason, either because of war or because Arab leaders told them to flee so they could destroy Israel.
00:32:08.600I was told that there's, in fact, Palestinians who live here in Switzerland, who may live in Zurich and have a Swiss passport, and yet be called Palestinian refugees.
00:32:19.620I'll just mention one, which is that Palestinians who live in the West Bank and Gaza, in what the UN calls the state of Palestine, what I would call the Palestinian Authority, they, too, are called refugees.
00:32:31.640Now, if you're living in Palestine, whether it's Gaza or parts of the West Bank, how are you possibly a refugee?
00:32:39.440Well, it seems like they're saying you're a refugee from Israel.
00:32:42.180And at the end of the day, what we're looking at is a situation that has nothing to do with any other categorization that the United Nations has for refugees around the world.
00:32:54.040But it's really, as you said, Ezra, it's a tool to weaponize these individuals as pawns, as a political tool, cynical tool, to use them in a war against Israel.
00:33:03.220And it's something that UNRWA officials, at rare moments of candor, dating back to the early 1950s, are quotes from some UNRWA officials who said, we know exactly what's going on.
00:33:12.480These are Palestinians who have fled into nearby countries, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and elsewhere, and they're not being resettled.
00:33:20.200I mean, the most normal, humane, decent thing would be for them to resettle.
00:33:24.000If we take an example of the United Empire loyalists, people from the United States of America who fled, they didn't want to give up being loyal to the British crown.
00:33:34.200And they were welcomed as people who were, you know, speaking the same tongue, neighbors.
00:33:39.520And the normal thing, what Canada was, proto-Canada did, was take them in.
00:33:45.800And if Americans were fleeing and came to Canada, they would be taken in and they would be integrated in Canada.
00:33:51.640And so the most normal thing for Arabs living in what historically was considered greater Syria,
00:33:57.740when they left a part of Palestine and went to Lebanon, the most normal thing, these are Arabs speaking Arabic, Muslims,
00:34:05.620the most normal thing would be for them to be resettled.
00:34:08.120And one of the most cruel acts by the Arab world is that these individuals were never resettled.
00:34:14.380And they're being kept in so-called refugee camps only to use it as a grievance.
00:34:19.020It's part of the grievance politics of the world to attack the state of Israel.
00:34:22.380Yeah. You know, when I was in Israel last, we had a little rebel mission to Israel this June, July.
00:34:29.660We saw what was called a refugee camp, but is indistinguishable from a regular urban neighborhood.
00:34:36.960We were standing in Jerusalem. We saw apartment buildings, streets, schools, everything.
00:34:41.220When you hear refugee camp, you think temporary tents, people living somewhere until they can find, you know, a bricks and mortar house.
00:34:49.240These so-called refugee camps are bricks and mortar houses, and it's just a lot of euphemisms, but I think you sum it up well.
00:35:00.140The reason we've invited you on today, and I appreciate you talking about this background story, is to talk about this UN agency.
00:35:08.780It's a difficult acronym. It's UNRWA, pronounced UNRWA, United Nations Relief Works Agency for Palestinians.
00:35:19.240They teach anti-Semitism and anti-Israel extremism to young Palestinian kids in Gaza.
00:35:30.260Can you tell us the evidence for that charge? I'm aware of it, but our viewers might not be.
00:35:37.340And can you tell me what's been exposed about how this UN agency is actually trying to radicalize Palestinian kids?
00:35:46.200Well, I think what's important for people to understand is this is a UN agency unlike any other in several ways.
00:35:52.640Well, first, as I said, UN Refugee Agency, the UNHCR across the street from my office, is the organization responsible for refugees around the world.
00:36:02.260If people are fleeing war in Syria or in Sudan or in Somalia, it's the UN Refugee Agency that will take them and try to resettle them, try to find them a home,
00:36:11.520whether it's in other parts of Africa, in Canada, in Europe, whatever.
00:36:15.780UNRWA is different. It's not trying to resettle these people anywhere, even if they have been resettled somewhere.
00:36:20.700The whole point is for them to keep them on the rolls and their kids and their grandchildren on the rolls as refugees.
00:36:26.300And what we found with UNRWA, and I'll say, you know, we at UN Watch did something very discreet and something very focused,
00:36:36.900where we just went on Facebook and we typed in UNRWA teachers, and we found dozens and dozens and dozens of UNRWA teachers.
00:36:44.860They're on Facebook. You see their name, Nassim, Abu, Ghanim, and you see them all on Facebook.
00:36:51.200And you flip on their Facebook page and you see them in school at UNRWA.
00:36:54.220You see them in Arabic, which you can translate easily using Google or some other tool.
00:36:58.660And here they are with the kids teaching them in Gaza or in Lebanon or in Syria or in Jordan.
00:37:03.700And then you keep skimming on this guy's Facebook feed and you suddenly see a picture of Adolf Hitler.
00:37:09.140And he'll say something like, Adolf Hitler was a great guy. Too bad he didn't kill more Jews.
00:37:13.140Or you'll see a picture of a Hamas terrorist who just stabbed Jews, killed Jews in Jerusalem.
00:37:17.040And he'll say, amazing, praise be to Allah for killing these Jews in Jerusalem.
00:37:21.080We documented, as right, dozens and dozens of cases of UNRWA principals and teachers and other employees
00:37:26.600who openly incite to jihadist terrorism and overt anti-Semitism, as I said, praising Hitler, saying he didn't kill enough.
00:37:34.880Now, if in Canada and these things happen, if it was found that a teacher was preaching anti-Semitism or jihadist terrorism,
00:37:43.660that gentleman would be barred from teaching for life.
00:37:46.700That happened in England. It happened in Canada. It happened in the United States.
00:37:51.400And UNRWA response has been one of a few things.
00:37:53.700Either they say this is all lies that never happened, that the Facebook accounts are false,
00:37:57.580is if people are putting up false Facebook accounts of people named Mohammed Abu Ghaneem with pictures in front of an UNRWA classroom in Gaza.
00:38:05.160I mean, so that was part of UNRWA's response is that these Facebook accounts are false, right?
