In the wake of 9/11, did you know that the Muslim student newspaper Al-Talib was founded by a man who was a supporter of al-Qaeda and Hezbollah? Did you know he was a writer for the Daily Bruin? And did you realize that he also wrote for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal? Well, if you do, you're in for a treat. This week's episode is a mashup of two stories from the past and present that make you think about what it means to be a Muslim-American in the post-9/11 world, and why multiculturalism is a failure and why we should all be worried about the spread of Islamic extremism in the 21st century. This episode is brought to you by the Anti-Defamation League and the Electronic Intifada, and edited by David Rothkopf.

00:00:07.000The Muslim Student Association, an organization that has routinely supported Hamas and Hezbollah ideologically and otherwise, put out a student newspaper at the time called Al-Talib.
00:00:16.000That student newspaper joked in the run-up to 9-11 about renaming the newspaper Al-Taliban and making Osama bin Laden editor-in-chief.
00:00:23.000They also, again, in rhetoric, supported Hamas, Hezbollah.
00:00:26.000They didn't make any bones about any of this.
00:00:28.000When I started to write about this stuff as an undergrad for the UCLA Daily Bruin, which was the campus newspaper, I was told such columns would not be run.
00:00:35.000Those were the only columns I ever wrote for the UCLA Daily Bruin, and this is back in like 2000-2001, that the Daily Bruin ever refused outright to run.
00:02:05.000But multiculturalism doesn't just excuse evil abroad, it brings it home.
00:02:10.000Multiculturalism suggests that we in the West, in the United States, the UK, France, Germany, and the rest of the Western world, we have to open our borders.
00:02:17.000After all, if we don't, we're racists.
00:02:20.000If you believe that all cultures are morally equivalent, that all cultures are equally meritorious, the only reason then to deny somebody entry is race, and that makes you a racist.
00:02:29.000There's a reason that multicultural advocates are open borders advocates.
00:02:45.000We've all been afraid to say it for decades, even in countries where the leadership has recognized the failures of multiculturalism, broadly speaking.
00:02:51.000That same leadership has been totally unable to speak the truth about migration, and when they do, they are chastised by the media.
00:02:57.000This is why the media has pretended away disproportionate criminal activity from Middle Eastern and African migrants to Europe.
00:03:03.000To recognize the truth would be awkward.
00:03:05.000It might seem racist because we're not allowed to point out that it's not about race, it's about culture, and not all cultures are the same.
00:03:12.000We're seeing this shyness today across the world and the effects of it as fundamentalist Muslims rally in favor of Hamas, a terror group that slaughtered 1,300 Jews in Western countries.
00:03:22.000They are joined by useful idiots on the radical left who believe in a coalition of the dispossessed that can help tear down the institutions of the West.
00:03:29.000Hence all the talk recently by left-wingers about mass murder of Jews as just, you know, decolonization.
00:03:34.000Question, are these people we actually want in our country?
00:03:38.000These are not people who are protesting for a Palestinian state or even protesting Israeli policies.
00:03:43.000These are people who are protesting in favor of a terrorist government that just committed the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust.
00:03:49.000And there are thousands of such protesters in the West.
00:03:52.000Because multiculturalism is a failure.
00:03:56.000And what we're watching right now, breaking out from London to New York, from our campuses to the streets of Paris, is a breakdown in the social fabric of the West.
00:04:04.000It's a breakdown brought about by a failure of confidence in our own values and unwillingness to declare the superiority of those values.
00:04:10.000Now we're feeling that in my community directly today.
00:04:13.000That is because Hamas has now called for a global day of rage in the middle of a war that they initiated because they decided to slaughter civilians in their beds.
00:04:22.000Instead of directing all of their resources toward helping Gazan civilians, which is, you know, what a normal government might do, they've decided that doesn't matter at all.
00:04:30.000Instead, what they are doing is they are calling for a worldwide day of jihad.
00:04:35.000They're referring to the day as the Al-Aqsa flood, according to Breitbart.
00:04:38.000The Middle East Media Research Institute, MEMRI, which has been doing amazing work for years, largely ignored.
00:04:43.000You've seen them on this show, but a lot of other shows haven't played their stuff.
00:04:47.000All they do, literally, all they do all day long is they watch Hamas TV, and they watch Palestinian Arab TV, and they watch Al Jazeera in Arabic, and then they translate that stuff and they put it online.
00:04:55.000MEMRI reported Hamas as saying, quote, We declare next Friday the Friday of the Al-Aqsa flood as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world.
00:05:04.000It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively.
00:05:07.000It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all of its aggressive schemes.
00:05:11.000It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted messenger.
00:05:20.000We call upon the free people of the world to mobilize in solidarity with our Palestinian people and in support of their just cause and legitimate rights to freedom, independence, return, and self-determination.
00:05:28.000They've called, more specifically, for protests.
00:05:32.000They have suggested that Palestinians rise up within Judea and Samaria in the so-called West Bank.
00:05:39.000They've called on Arab citizens of Israel to attack the state.
00:05:42.000They've called on Arabs in the surrounding countries to attack the borders of Israel.
00:05:46.000And these protests that they're calling for across the globe, they aren't just protests.
00:05:54.000Well, this has resulted in law enforcement having to step up patrols on Jewish houses of worship and businesses.
00:06:00.000According to NBC News, local and federal law enforcement agencies across the United States are stepping up their patrols of Jewish houses of worship, Jewish-owned businesses, Israeli diplomatic buildings.
00:06:09.000I can tell you that the amount of worry in the Jewish community in the United States is extremely high.
00:06:13.000A lot of people keeping their kids home from school today because they're worried about the global day of Jihad.
00:06:45.000Well, apparently the NYPD canceled all training for officers on Thursday or the entire force to be in uniform and on patrol.
00:06:53.000The officials at the police department said that they'll have additional security at large gatherings, cultural sites, and houses of worship.
00:06:59.000All personnel have to report in Los Angeles in uniform as well.
00:07:04.000So, things are getting very ugly in a lot of these major cities.
00:07:10.000Apparently, none of the online threats are specific and credible at this point.
00:07:14.000But, out of an abundance of caution, again, there are schools in New York that are actively shutting down.
00:07:20.000They're saying there are no credible threats, but I don't know what you would expect Jews to believe at this point about a credible threat, considering it was the greatest slaughter of Jews since, again, the Holocaust.
00:07:30.000So a lot of Jews are very, very worried today.
00:07:32.000Some Jewish schools I mentioned in New York have closed.
00:07:48.000Apparently, according to odyssey.com and 1010winds, a 19-year-old woman attacked a 24-year-old male Israeli student with a stick outside of Columbia University's main library amid division on campus regarding the Israel-Hamas war.
00:08:00.000The police responded to a report of the assault in Morningside Heights outside Butler Library at 6.10 p.m.
00:08:06.000The attack occurred when the victim confronted the woman after watching her tear down flyers displaying the names and pictures of Israelis kidnapped by Hamas last weekend.
00:08:15.000The victim, who asked to be referred to anonymously for fear of safety, suffered some minor bruises.
00:08:22.000But apparently what happened is that a group was hanging up posters of the people who are currently being held hostage.
00:08:29.000And the suspect ripped the posters down.
00:08:33.000And when they said, why are you doing that?
00:08:34.000The suspect then attacked the people who were putting the posters up.
00:08:38.000And you might think that's an isolated incident.
00:08:40.000You might think, well, you know, this sort of stuff happens on campus all the time.
00:08:44.000Except for the fact that what we see in broad scale, and universities are the very center of it,
00:10:41.000A Fairfax County school board member named Abrar Omeish, an elected official in Fairfax County, this is Virginia, actively opposed a moment of silence for the victims of the Hamas massacre.
00:11:49.000Or perhaps we have a lot of very, very evil people who believe a very lot of evil things living here in the West because the West has opened itself up wide with its multicultural nonsense.
00:11:59.000Here are Michigan Democrats just the other day refusing a vote on a moment of silence for Israeli victims.
00:12:04.000This is because a huge percentage of Michigan Democrat support comes from the Michigan Muslim community.
00:12:09.000That would be the same community in, for example, Dearborn that was holding a mass rally in favor of Hamas over the course of the past couple of days.
00:12:53.000you know speaker just as a matter of fact the voting the house adjourned to stand adjourned
00:12:56.000until tuesday october 17th at one Without objection, so order, the House will stand at ease.
00:13:08.000That's right, the Michigan House, dominated by Democrats at this point, refusing a moment of silence for Israeli victims, for Jewish victims of, again, the worst massacre in the past 80 years against Jews.
00:13:21.000In one second, I want to get to what's happening on campus.
00:13:23.000First, obviously, all of this is creating an enormous amount of uncertainty in the economic sphere.
00:13:30.000And the uncertainty in the economic sphere is going to dominate for the next couple of years, if not longer than that.
00:13:35.000One way for you to actually hedge your bets on that sort of stuff is to take a look at Birch Gold.
00:13:41.000Well, Birch Gold will help you at least diversify into assets like precious metals.
00:13:45.000You can call Birch Gold today, preserve your savings in a tax-sheltered retirement account.
00:13:48.000I've been a customer of Birch Gold Group for years.
00:13:50.000They're the experts in precious metals, and they make it incredibly easy to become a customer.
00:13:53.000If you have an IRA or a 401k from a previous employer that's just gathering dust, you should call Birch Gold.
00:13:57.000They'll help you convert it into an IRA in gold.
00:14:17.000Claim your free info kit on gold today.
00:14:22.000America's campuses are, of course, the sort of chief rallying point for not only radical Muslim activity in the United States, but also for generalized left-wing activity in the United States.
00:14:31.000So if the green-red axis, the Hamas far-left axis, is going to form an alliance, obviously it's going to be on campus.
00:14:57.000And shouting from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
00:15:02.000That slogan, of course, is a genocidal slogan meant to destroy literally every Jew in the region.
00:15:07.000And as we've seen from Hamas, we know exactly what that means.
00:15:10.000That means the full-scale slaughter of Jews.
00:15:11.000And those are Americans, presumably, who are shouting that in the middle of the Columbia University campus.
00:15:16.000Now remember, these are campuses that are deeply worried about microaggressions.
00:15:20.000But if you shout, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, That, like, directly the same week that 1,300 Jews were murdered in their beds.
00:15:27.000Well, then, that's just, you know, complex moral nuance because multiculturalism, gang, is just a different culture.
00:15:34.000It's just a different type of thinking.
00:15:35.000And we have to explain, we have to understand that really things are just very nuanced and cycle of violence-y.
00:15:42.000Now, you can feel people reverting back to their priors.
00:15:44.000I said a couple of days ago that people have revelations about politics in hot moments, in moments of clarity, and then they immediately revert to the priors.
00:15:51.000You can feel it happening in real time.
00:15:53.000And so, already, the shock effect of people who are protesting in favor of the people who just murdered and burned babies, already the shock effect of that is wearing away.
00:16:01.000Because we are going already, you can feel it happening, we are already going back to our Western priors, which is Everyone's reasonable.
00:17:02.000And you can feel it happening in real time.
00:17:04.000Because otherwise, to look at the specter of thousands, I'm talking thousands of people across the United States, rallying in favor of a group that is as bad or worse than Al-Qaeda might be somewhat disquieting.
00:17:15.000It might call into question some of our priors about who we should let into the country, or about which cultures are equivalent to other cultures, and which cultures are abjectly, manifestly inferior.
00:17:25.000There is no such thing as an inferior race.
00:17:28.000Well, I mean, it's not clear exactly where the boundaries are between races.
00:17:32.000Race is a genetic aspect that has to do with facial structure, or maybe has to do with point of origin, or maybe has to do with your skin color.
00:17:39.000None of that is relevant when it comes to human interpersonal relations.
00:17:42.000The only thing that really matters is culture.
00:17:55.000Saying that certain cultures are worse than other cultures is simply saying that some ways of thought and ways of acting are worse than other ways of thought and ways of acting, which is obviously true unless you are an idiot.
00:18:05.000At UCLA, mass protests, people screaming, Intifada, Intifada, Intifada means uprising.
00:18:10.000This is a call for more Palestinians to murder Jews, obviously.
00:18:13.000And this is a pretty massive rally at my alma mater.
00:18:16.000Again, folks, if you have a kid who's getting ready for college, you should think very seriously about whether you wish to send them to one of these garbage indoctrination centers.
00:18:23.000And instead, maybe, you know, get them a job.
00:18:25.000Here is what it looked like at UCLA yesterday.
00:18:44.000The reason they're wearing masks is because they don't wish to be identified.
00:18:47.000Why don't they wish to be identified with their cause?
00:18:49.000Because they know that that cause is evil.
00:18:51.000That is particularly true for the members of radical Muslim communities who are not saying this stuff just for show.
00:18:58.000There are a lot of fellow traveler liberals who are trying to demonstrate their bona fides in the same way that you saw a bunch of morons go out in the street rallying with the perverse organization Black Lives Matter in order to demonstrate their bona fides to their fellow liberal friends.
00:19:09.000You're seeing a lot of that at these campuses.
00:19:11.000That would be the red part of the Green Red Alliance here.
00:19:13.000But the people who are truly committed, those are the ones who are covering their faces.
00:19:17.000We'll get to more of these protests on college campuses in just one second.
00:19:21.000I gotta tell you, my phone coverage, it matters a lot to me these days.
00:19:23.000I've been spending literally every moment on the phone.
00:19:26.000The phone coverage that I trust, Pure Talk, as you know, Pure Talk happens to be a great company.
00:19:30.000They speak to, they have core values that are aligned with the values of The Daily Wire.
00:19:36.000Our veterans gave everything to protect the nation, and Pure Talk understands the sacrifices that they've made.
00:19:40.000They set an ambitious goal to eliminate $10 million in military debt by Veterans Day.
00:20:52.000In case you can't hear what they are chanting, what they are chanting is, they've got tanks, we've got hang gliders, glory to the resistance fighters.
00:21:02.000That would be a reference to the Hamas members who jetted in on hang gliders into an EDM music festival and mowed down nearly 300 people.
00:21:12.000That is them at George Mason University openly cheering that.
00:21:23.000One of the amazing things about the arrogance of the West is that they say it right out loud to your face and you're like, nah, don't believe you.
00:22:37.000In the United States, whenever there is any sort of horrific shooting that is committed by somebody who's even vaguely associated with a political cause, everybody vaguely associated with that political cause comes out and condemns it.
00:24:37.000It seems to me that supporting Hamas is a pretty good barrier to entry for people earning a solid living at Chase Manhattan Bank, or it should be.
00:24:46.000University of Washington had a mass pro-Hamas protest as well.
00:26:14.000Has one protester acknowledged that if Hamas would stop all of this, if they would turn into a legit government, which is what Israel wanted them to do for 20 years, after handing over the entire Gaza Strip to them, that none of this would have happened?
00:26:28.000That civilian deaths are on the hands of... Of course not.
00:26:31.000Are there any demands on the governing body in the Gaza Strip, which is Hamas, to protect civilians?
00:26:37.000Because the goal is the destruction of Israel.
00:26:39.000And if they can't do it by running into Israel and murdering every civilian, then they will attempt to do it by relieving the international legitimacy of Israel by planting babies directly in front of military targets.
00:26:50.000That's precisely what they are doing right now.
00:26:52.000Again, these campuses, which are supposed places of safety and openness and diversity, well, when it comes to Jewish students feeling, you know, just a little threatened by people who are now defending mass murder of Jews, And then, of course, there's nothing to be done.
00:27:04.000Here are Jewish students at University of Washington witnessing this pro-Hamas rally and being told by the authorities, well, you know, that's just the way that it goes.
00:27:10.000Now, listen, free speech is indeed free speech.
00:27:12.000Also, free speech has never obtained at these campuses.
00:27:15.000I've been banned from half these campuses for trying to just speak about things like economics.
00:27:20.000These are places where, again, if you use the wrong pronoun, they will put you in the gulag.
00:27:25.000But if you say Jews should be murdered en masse and it's justified, then if a Jew gets upset, that's obviously, you know, that's when the free speech bone kicks back in.
00:27:35.000Interesting how your standard kicks back in the minute the Jews are the victims.
00:28:01.000Again, remember, it's a micro... Why would Jews live in fear after 1,300 of them were slaughtered and then all of their advocates come out on campus rallying for the slaughterers?
00:28:12.000In the world of microaggressions, I noticed that there are certain microaggressions you guys do not seem to care... macroaggressions, rather, that you don't seem to care very much about at all.
00:28:20.000Now, I get back to this question of, how much support does Hamas have in the so-called moderate Palestinian community or pro-Palestinian community?
00:28:25.000And the answer is, I'm still looking for the people who are wildly attempting to dissociate from Hamas at this point.
00:28:33.000So there's a Palestinian-American activist and a human rights attorney named Noura Erekat, who's on with Katie Tur.
00:28:39.000The media, by the way, are desperately searching for a Palestinian advocate who will dissociate from Hamas and say that Hamas is utterly unjustified, a garbage organization and terror organization.
00:29:08.000So here is a moderate Palestinian-American activist and human rights attorney.
00:29:12.000This is what human rights attorneys do is they worry deeply about the legitimacy of Hamas.
00:29:17.000They worry deeply about how much Hamas was provoked to this.
00:29:21.000This is Noor Arikat saying that Israel is responsible for all of it.
00:29:25.000Nora, the images that we've been seeing for the past six days, both inside of Gaza and the images of what happened to the Israeli citizens, both have been so gut-wrenching, so difficult to watch.
00:29:39.000It makes it feel like there is an intractability to this fight.
00:29:44.000As you've been studying this, what can happen next?
00:29:51.000These are indeed gut-wrenching images, but they are also preventable images and preventable mass atrocities.
00:29:58.000The largest crime and the condition that sustains this violence is the crime of apartheid and the apartheid system that Israel oversees and that the United States has been the primary supporter of in military, financial, and diplomatic support.
00:30:15.000Okay, by the way, Noora Arakat, again, a human rights attorney.
00:30:18.000She's very much in favor of human rights.
00:30:19.000She says that Hamas is a political movement.
00:31:31.000And a unity government, I think Hamas can stay.
00:31:35.000Whether or not they can or cannot stay is not the issue because the alternative of what you're saying is that we decimate Hamas.
00:31:41.000And I have to remind viewers, Hamas is a political movement comprised of Palestinians who believe in a freedom struggle forward.
00:31:49.000They are not merely these sensational images that you see.
00:31:52.000The members of Hamas that you saw recently, right?
00:31:55.000I just want to make clear to people that these are not monsters who emerged from underground just wanting to terrorize Israelis.
00:32:04.000These are Young men who have only grown up under siege for the past 17 years, who have been subject to four large-scale offensives that have bombed them in their homes, that have targeted medics and hospitals and water supplies, that have refused
00:33:08.000And if you can't say that, there is something wrong with you.
00:33:10.000But there is something wrong with the media.
00:33:11.000The thing that is wrong with the media is they hate their own culture so much that they cannot even deal with the idea that there are superior and inferior cultures and they've surrendered.
00:33:20.000By the way, again, not just a problem for our media, it is also a problem internationally.
00:33:26.000The number of mass protests that we are seeing all around the world in favor of Hamas should be truly terrifying to Westerners who actually care about, you know, Western values.
00:33:35.000According to a recent report, Planned Parenthood continues to rake in billions in taxpayer funding and private contributions, and yet pro-life organizations are winning the hearts and minds of their clientele.
00:33:43.000While Planned Parenthood continues to rake in the big bucks, the number of abortions performed year over year is slowly decreasing.
00:33:48.000In short, we are winning the fight to end abortion, but there is a long way to go.
00:33:52.000This is why my show partners with Preborn.
00:33:54.000They're the largest provider of free ultrasounds in the United States.
00:33:57.000Preborn has figured out that by letting a woman see her baby on ultrasound and listen to its heartbeat, that baby's chance at life is doubled.
00:34:02.000But Preborn operates on a really, really slim budget.
00:34:05.000All the money is going towards saving babies.
00:34:06.000They rescue over 200 babies every single day, no government funding.
00:35:22.000Like, what obligation do we, the West, have to take in people from a culture that says that what Hamas just did is totally fine and part of a broader struggle?
00:36:58.000Okay, so all of this is part and parcel of This group of people, and when I say this group of people, I mean Hamas and its supporters, who are playing a sucker's game with you.
00:37:06.000And the sucker's game is that you are a fool and you will revert back to your priors.
00:38:40.000The Hamas advocates, they've now decided that they have degrees in international law, which is exciting.
00:38:46.000Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, one of our most brilliant expositors of international law, being a bartender and all, she says, she's talking about the cutoff of water and power to the Gaza Strip.
00:38:57.000The Israeli energy minister, Katz, he said, no electrical switch will be turned on, no water hydrant will be open, no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli abductees are returned home.
00:39:05.000Well, again, seems like a conditional statement.
00:39:08.000At this point, AOC could say, you know what?
00:39:10.000They're holding like a bunch of Americans in abject terror.
00:39:13.000Probably some of them have already been raped, if not all.
00:40:00.000But it also means that the United States has a responsibility to ensure accountability to human rights, to prevent the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and to ensure that horrors do not happen in the names of victims who do not want their tragedy used to justify further violence and injustice.
00:40:24.000She's going to speak on behalf of the dead Jews in Kfar Aza?
00:40:27.000She's going to speak on behalf of the dead Jews in Sderot?
00:40:30.000She's going to speak on behalf of the grandparents who watched their grandchildren be murdered in cold blood?
00:41:01.000That's not how international law works.
00:41:03.000Geneva Conventions, Article 29, the party to the conflict, in whose hands protected persons may be, is responsible for the treatment accorded to them by its agents, irrespective of any individual responsibility which may be incurred.
00:41:14.000When Hama, in other words, for those who can't read and don't speak legal, what that means is that if you are the governing party and you have civilians and you put them in front of military targets, that is your fault.
00:41:25.000Article 28, the presence of a protected person, that would be a civilian, may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.
00:41:33.000Which is precisely what left-wing morons are claiming today.
00:41:37.000That basically, murder Jews plus I hide behind children means immunity.
00:41:53.000No prisoner of war may at any time be sent to or detained in areas where he may be exposed to the fire of the combat zone, nor may his presence be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.
00:42:11.000Utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas, or military forces immune from military operations constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts.
00:42:22.000How about the 1977 Additional Protocol 1, Article 51.7 says, quote, the parties to the conflict shall not direct the movement of the civilian population or individual civilians in order to attempt to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield military operations.
00:42:37.000You may have noticed that that's precisely what Hamas is doing.
00:42:40.000Israel is currently telling people to leave and Hamas is currently telling them to stay, to use them as human shields.
00:42:49.000According to the Geneva Conventions, Article 53, any destruction by the occupying power of real or personal property belonging individually or collectively to private persons is prohibited except where such destruction is rendered absolutely necessary by military operations, which is what is happening right now.
00:43:06.000I mean, It's clear under international law that a country has the ability to defend itself.
00:43:12.000And it is also clear under international law that the human rights violator is the person who stations babies in front of its rockets.
00:43:31.000By the way, her garbage about ethnic cleansing is a talking point that I just like to bunk.
00:43:35.000I like to clean this up real fast, this talking point.
00:43:38.000The Palestinian population in 1948, which is the year of the establishment of the state of Israel, in that region, in the region of Gaza, Israel today, Judea and Samaria, all of it, 1.37 million.
00:43:50.000Here are the populations today in these particular areas.
00:45:00.000And this is why Jake Tapper yesterday, he was pointing out, you know, I noticed that Muslim countries are not doing anything to help Gazan civilians.
00:45:29.000Egypt, Jordan, I mean, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, all these countries that talk about how much they care about the Palestinians, they could help right now.
00:45:40.000They could help the Palestinians escape.
00:45:43.000They could say, okay, stop bombing and we will go in there and we will help Gaza become a thriving society.
00:46:57.000And massive underground barriers that are 20 meters deep to stop those tunnels from entering into the Sinai Desert, which is controlled by Egypt.
00:47:06.000The barrier is made of bomb-proof super-strength steel which cannot be cut or melted.
00:47:11.000So, yeah, that's a thing that I noticed.
00:47:14.000As far as where the Muslim countries are, the answer is where they always are, using the Palestinians as a tool for their own revenge, while simultaneously denying them entry to their countries.
00:47:20.000Again, in 1948, 700,000 Palestinians were either leaving or expelled.
00:47:24.000Unclear how many left, preemptively, because all Arab society had broken down in 47, 48, and how many were kicked out.
00:47:31.000But 700,000 Palestinians leave or are expelled.
00:47:34.000Zero are taken in by the Arab countries.
00:48:18.000What we care about is that if Jews are victimized by Muslim terror, then Jews have to basically let themselves be victimized.
00:48:23.000And the only good Jew is a submissive Jew.
00:48:26.000Seems to be the world's perspective on these particular issues all too often.
00:48:31.000This, of course, is why the world has decided immediately that the civilian casualties in Gaza brought about entirely by Hamas, it could be ended tomorrow by Hamas, all of that is on the Jews.
00:48:42.000Naftali Bennett, the former Prime Minister of the State of Israel, he was on Sky News and he was confronted with this dumb argument and here was his answer.
00:48:50.000And what about those Palestinians in hospital who are on life support and babies and incubators whose life support and incubator will have to be turned off because the Israelis have cut the power to Gaza?
00:49:03.000Are you seriously keep on asking me about Palestinian civilians?
00:50:18.000I don't see a lot of the anchors on Sky News shedding great tears over all that, because it happened a long time ago.
00:50:24.000But I'll just point out at this point, forget about World War II.
00:50:26.000I mean, if you look at World War II and the amount of civilian death that was incurred by the Allies in the defeat of Nazi Germany and fascist Japan, you're talking well in excess of a million people who were killed.
00:50:39.000The firebombing of Dresden killed tens of thousands of people.
00:50:42.000The firebombing of Tokyo killed like hundreds of thousands of people.
00:51:12.000And that was not an existential threat to the United States.
00:51:16.000Hey, terrorism was a threat to the people of the United States.
00:51:18.000Hamas is an existential threat to Israel, especially because if Hamas were to emerge from this unscathed, Hezbollah would come in from the north, and everyone knows that.
00:51:26.000And if Hezbollah comes in, by the way, you're looking at nuclear war.
00:51:30.000We'll get to the international of this in just one second, because what we're attempting to avoid here by allowing Israel, and I say we as the United States, what we are attempting to avoid here is a very small regional conflict developing into a global war, including nuclear weapons.
00:51:43.000But just to get back to the civilian point, the number of dead civilians in Iraq due to the Iraq invasion of the United States, approximately 200,000.
00:51:54.000That is not next door to the United States.
00:51:56.000But put that aside, how many dead civilians are there in Libya thanks to the Libyan bombing campaign undertaken by the Obama administration?
00:52:37.000When Jews defend themselves, that's when they get very uptight.
00:52:39.000That's when it's like... And it doesn't matter if those Jews are taking more precautions to save civilians in Gaza than the ruling power of Gaza.
00:52:59.000In order to justify that you have to come up with some sort of moral self-justification.
00:53:05.000The way a lot of people have done it is by involving themselves in propagandistic efforts to deceive themselves.
00:53:09.000As I said before, everyone wants to go back to their priors.
00:53:12.000And going back to your priors, the moral equivalence prior that was always stupid, it has been stupid for 40 years, The best way to do that is to just deny that what's happening is actually happening.
00:53:20.000And the best way to do that is to pretend that you're being lied to.
00:53:38.000I didn't want to show it to you, but we have to know the nature of our enemies in the same way that we made a huge mistake as a country in the United States by not showing on a loop what happened on 9-11.
00:53:47.000When we barred that from our TVs, we blinded ourselves to what our enemies are.
00:53:51.000And then we're reminded of it every so often when, you know, they take over a country like Afghanistan and murder tens of thousands of people and blow up a bunch of American soldiers.
00:53:59.000Then we're reminded of it, but we put ourselves to sleep.
00:55:36.000Knowing that there will be a bomb that descends on your roof in five minutes if you start the thing.
00:55:42.000So, the real risk for Israel in not finishing off Hamas right now is that this is taken as a sign of weakness, as it certainly would be, by Hezbollah.
00:55:48.000Hezbollah is a far more dangerous terrorist group than Hamas.
00:55:52.000They just proved it by killing 1,300 Jews.
00:55:53.000Hezbollah currently has over 100,000 highly sophisticated rockets aimed directly at the north of Israel.
00:55:59.000Estimates suggest that were Hezbollah to fire all of those rockets, we wouldn't be talking about 1,300 dead Jews.
00:56:04.000You'd be talking about somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 dead Jews, day one.
00:56:10.000If Hezbollah gets in, Israel will have no choice but to unleash the air force.
00:56:13.000If they unleash the air force, they're not going to be worried at that point about civilian casualties at all.
00:56:17.000They're simply going to have to eviscerate the entire south of Lebanon and topple the regime in Lebanon that supports Hezbollah.
00:56:24.000If that happens, Iran undoubtedly gets in and so does Syria.
00:56:27.000If that happens, and Israel is now faced with a full war in the north, Combined with a war in the south because they will not have defeated Hamas, that's the predicate.
00:56:37.000If Israel is forced to the wall, the possibility of nuclear exchange is extremely high.
00:56:41.000That is why it is very important that the United States provide the material aid to Israel and that they also dissuade Hezbollah from getting in.
00:57:11.000Mostly if you're in the United States, you get your friends killed.
00:57:13.000But, it certainly got a lot of Americans killed in Iraq when we showed our neck to Iran.
00:57:17.000In any case, The United States and Qatar, which is an Iranian cutout, have now reached an agreement to prevent Iran from accessing $6 billion recently unfrozen as part of a prisoner swap.
00:57:27.000Now, the real question here is why the United States is not putting pressure on Qatar to turn over Hamas's leadership to an international court.
00:57:36.000The United States has that kind of leverage over Qatar.
00:57:38.000Perhaps they should be, you know, encouraging Hamas to, Hamas leadership to be arrested, but they're not, they're not doing that.
00:57:43.000At the very least, that is a tacit admission that what's going on in Qatar, again, the entire Hamas leadership, they don't care what happens in the Gaza Strip.
00:57:50.000They're worth millions of dollars and they're living in Qatar in like posh five-star suites, as is very typical of terror groups.
00:57:57.000The great lie of these terror groups is that the leadership deeply cares about the cause.
00:58:01.000Very often, the leadership doesn't care about the cause.
00:58:02.000They just like getting rich and living in posh estates.
00:58:05.000Yasser Arafat, by the time he was done, was worth hundreds of millions of dollars that he had stolen from his own people.
00:58:28.000I know Lindsey Graham says dumb words sometimes, but like, aside from Lindsey Graham, can you name people who are like, yeah, let's go to war.
00:58:47.000What it really is, is people understanding the Middle East, and understanding that if you do not throw people off the ball right now, it's gonna get way worse really quickly.
00:58:58.000Because again, Iran, if Iran gets involved, Iran has sponsorship from both China and Russia, and things get really ugly really quickly.
00:59:05.000Yeah, well, This week has been just devastating.
00:59:08.000Absolutely devastating on every level.
00:59:10.000It's been devastating for Westerners generally, or should be, if they had a shred of class or an ounce of dignity.
00:59:17.000There are many millions of people who do.
00:59:20.000I'm not discounting any of those people, obviously.
00:59:22.000The outpouring of support from Americans for Israelis and for Jews generally has been amazing to watch.
00:59:27.000I've gotten calls from tons of Christian friends, calls from tons of people who are areligious, just people who are seeking to help.
01:00:38.000A retired Major General for the Israeli Defense Forces raced to rescue his son and his family who were hiding in their home near the Gaza border as Hamas terrorists destroyed their village.
01:00:45.000Noam Tibon, 62, recalled the moment he assured his son, journalist Amir Tibon, he would save him and his family when their small kibbutz of Nahal Oz fell under siege by Hamas on Saturday.
01:00:55.000He said, you have to be quiet, you have to be locked.
01:01:01.000Over the span of 10 hours, he's 62, the determined father raced from Tel Aviv to his son's home, where he rescued several survivors of Hamas and fought against terrorists while on his way to save his family.
01:01:11.000So his son was in his home Saturday morning, heard the mortars flying overhead, and then he and his wife raced to hide.
01:01:18.000They have two young daughters, three and one.
01:01:21.000He said, when you live on the border with Gaza, attacks like this happen from time to time.
01:01:24.000You sometimes wait an hour, you pack your bags.
01:01:25.000Meanwhile, when there's a break of a few minutes, you shove the kids in the car, you go toward a more secure place.
01:01:30.000Instead, Hamas infiltrated the kibbutz and he thought, we're going to die.
01:01:33.000After being reassured his father would come for them, Amir said he tried to keep his daughters calm and quiet, telling them to trust their parents.
01:01:39.000I have to do the same thing right now.
01:01:43.000Noam Thibon and his wife then raced from Tel Aviv to Nahal Oz that's about an hour and a half away.
01:01:48.000They stopped along the way to help survivors of the Nova music festival massacre who were running away barefoot.
01:01:53.000After delivering as many people as they could to a safe location away from the border, Thibon went back and arrived at the outskirts of Nahal Oz.
01:02:00.000And he pulled out a pistol to fight the members of Hamas, many of whom were armed with automatic weapons.
01:02:07.000T-Bone once again opted to put his personal mission on hold to help the wounded retreat to a hospital before going back to look for his son.
01:02:12.000By the way, that is... I mean, can you imagine that?
01:02:15.000Your own child is calling you from the bunker and asking for your help, and you literally stopped to help other people on the way.
01:02:59.000Many people who were murdered 1819 years old rushing to the scene to try and save people
01:03:04.000to the the nation of Israel is coming together.
01:03:09.000There have been at least three weddings that took place in rushed circumstances on IDF bases.
01:03:14.000People who are scheduled to get married in the next couple of days when all this broke out.
01:03:18.000And instead, they just decided they were going to hold their wedding on an IDF base.
01:03:22.000here is footage of one of those weddings.
01:03:35.000Again, this is a soldier who's gonna go into harm's way to protect his fellow Jews and fellow Israeli citizens, Jewish and non-Jewish alike.
01:03:43.000There are weddings like this that were put together spur of the moment.
01:03:46.000People dancing and singing in the wake of human evil.
