Answer me something. No, no, no. Done. No, stop for a minute. It's not done. No, not when you don't let me finish.
00:00:08.940
Let me finish. I'll give you a long answer. I'll give you a long answer. Do you support Hamas? No, I don't support Israel. Do you support Israel?
00:00:18.780
Yes. And the believers will be asked, have the disbelievers been paid for what they used to do? That day is going to come.
00:00:25.480
Islamnet is raising funds to establish a masjid and community centre in Norway and they urgently need your support.
00:00:33.820
This donation will be a sadaqa jari for you because every person that comes a step closer to Allah for your donation, you will inshallah be reaping the reward.
00:00:43.060
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:46.120
Came across this video of Mehdi Hassan absolutely annihilating an ex-congressman who's a Israeli shill.
00:00:54.880
I mean, this was one of the most bizarre ones I've ever watched in my life.
00:01:00.480
I mean, his behaviour, how he grabs the paper out of his hands, anger, shouting, hitting the table.
00:01:05.940
What an absolute weirdo because he cannot defend Israel's actions.
00:01:09.580
You're going to find this really, really amazing, subhanallah, and shows the hypocrisy of these people.
00:01:14.440
The kufr, the disbelief they have, makes them unjust.
00:01:17.760
The biggest unjust is shirk and the biggest justice is tawheed.
00:01:21.700
Anyone that doesn't have that cannot apply justice into the world.
00:01:27.580
...spoken opponent of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, going as far as to call it a genocide.
00:01:32.360
But when it comes to Gaza, you've criticised people for calling Gaza a genocide.
00:01:38.320
Why is what's happening in Ukraine a genocide, but not what's happening in Gaza,
00:01:43.220
when far more people have been killed and displaced in Gaza than in Ukraine?
00:01:48.560
I think Putin is trying to kill, and he has been for three years, Ukrainian civilians,
00:02:05.180
Even though Israeli government members have said far more genocidal stuff than Vladimir Putin has.
00:02:10.300
There are extreme members of Israeli government.
00:02:17.240
The president and prime minister of the country have said stuff that Vladimir Putin has not
00:02:23.220
If you said, neither is a genocide, then I'd be fine if we move on, we'll talk about other
00:02:28.200
What I find fascinating is that you're happy to say genocide here, but if you say it there,
00:02:32.940
I mean, that's a fantastic point that Mehdi made.
00:02:35.060
You know, at the end of the day, he's like, oh, Putin's intent is to kill everybody in Ukraine.
00:02:48.260
But when Israel does the same thing, and they are vocal.
00:02:51.000
I've never seen a Russian MP or defense minister or this minister or that minister outright come and
00:02:56.620
call for saying that the Ukrainians are subhuman.
00:03:03.880
I don't hear them saying that, but this man says that Russia wants to indiscriminately
00:03:19.660
I just think Putin's intent is to eliminate the Ukrainian people.
00:03:29.140
Why is Israel's words and actions not the same?
00:03:34.120
Again, you can find some, but Israel's actions...
00:03:37.400
I can read you all day if I started reading out all the genocidal statements from Israeli
00:03:42.000
I can find you a more history of actions of not.
00:03:46.260
Just a few days ago, the deputy speaker of the Israeli parliament, a senior member of
00:03:49.700
the Liquid Party, Netanyahu's party, said that the Palestinian civilians, his words, civilians,
00:03:54.880
are scum, subhuman, and the women and children should be separated so that men can all be killed.
00:04:04.540
I don't hear Joe Walsh condemning that as genocide.
00:04:06.540
Well, I would condemn that, and I will condemn that statement.
00:04:12.820
I'm saying, Mehdi, that is a very minority view overall in Israel.
00:04:18.020
Oh my God, in Israel's government and among the Israeli people.
00:04:32.040
Bro, that's the whole view of nearly the entire Israel.
00:04:35.720
Zionists, all of them, be it your layman, to your doctor, to your salesman, to your defense minister, to your soldiers, to the guys right at the top.
00:04:47.920
People in podcasts saying, if I can press a button, why have I got that?
00:04:51.380
Is it Israel's intent to kill, to target and kill Palestinian civilians?
00:04:58.080
That's been their intent from day one, after October 7th.
00:05:04.040
The deputy speaker of the Bible said, let's kill all the adult men in Gaza.
00:05:07.560
So you're just putting your hands in your ears?
00:05:21.600
Medi, again, I can find extreme things that members of Israel's government has said.
00:05:28.940
And that's why they're at the ICJ, and that's why ICJ is investigating.
00:05:31.640
That's why some of Israel's leading Holocaust scholars have said it's a genocide.
00:05:40.760
Kill men, women, children, babies, ox and donkey.
00:05:43.620
A lot of people ask the question, what did the donkey do?
00:05:46.140
Brothers and sisters, they are using scripture.
00:05:48.640
Just imagine us as Muslims, when these extremists come and use our religion falsely,
00:05:53.860
where there's no statement in the Quran hadith to ever tell you to kill innocent men, women,
00:05:56.900
and children, or even donkeys, for that matter.
00:06:06.220
Israel wanted to exterminate the Palestinian people.
00:06:12.100
That's the worst argument you've ever made in all the time I've ever had.
00:06:15.160
Vladimir Putin could have erased everyone in Ukraine with a nuke.
00:06:24.060
Your argument is, Israel is not genocidal, because they haven't killed everyone in Gaza,
00:06:28.120
I'm saying, Vladimir Putin could kill everyone in Ukraine, and he hasn't.
00:06:30.740
Therefore, according to Joe Walsh's logic, Vladimir Putin is not genocidal.
00:06:43.780
Israel is fighting another sovereign nation with a full-on military, with the support of
00:06:53.840
Do you even know what the definition of genocide is?
00:06:57.320
Do you think that, one, if I intend on killing all Chinese people, but I just managed to
00:07:09.820
To this footage, because Gaza, over the last 16 months, have a look at the screen, has
00:07:24.880
That is something out of, I don't even know what to, is that a Mad Max movie?
00:07:33.360
Maybe in one town, Mariupol, but I haven't seen the entire Gaza Strip.
00:07:37.140
Mehdi, by every measurement of urban warfare, Israel has gone up.
00:07:50.360
Please don't give me some talking point about urban warfare stats.
00:08:02.140
What is your human reaction to seeing entire towns, cities, refugee camps wiped out?
00:08:12.900
But I'm not going to lay the lion's share of the blame on Israel for that.
00:08:17.800
The people who chose to adopt £2,000 bombs on civilian homes, apartments, buildings.
00:08:22.400
I'm going to lay the lion's share of the blame on Hamas for starting the war on October
00:08:26.460
7th, knowing exactly what would happen, hiding for years behind their civilians, putting
00:08:35.620
It's a very strange argument that says they started a war knowing that would happen.
00:08:39.340
So if I start a fight with a known gangster or murderer, and he kills a bunch of my family
00:08:48.080
You're basically conceding that Israel was going to respond in a genocidal way.
00:08:50.800
I mean, look at how his body language, when he was seeing Gaza, it's like he was shocked.
00:08:56.360
Like, he was like, oh my gosh, but it's undefensible.
00:09:03.840
Do you see how when Allah tells us in the Quran that when we are told that our limbs will
00:09:08.680
talk, our hands will testify, Allah tells us that we ourselves are an enough witness.
00:09:14.800
Because it's like his body language was saying, this is horrific.
00:09:19.720
These people should be put to capital punishment.
00:09:24.580
I mean, that's how he, but what his body was reacting and what his tongue was saying
00:09:49.880
By the way, you said, I see you say this all the time.
00:09:54.940
And yet when Israelis actually use Palestinians as human shields, you don't say anything.
00:10:02.040
Last week it emerged that an 80-year-old man, Israeli press reported, was being used as a
00:10:06.520
They were taking him into houses, putting him in front of them.
00:10:18.500
Have you condemned that as a use of human shield?
00:10:24.560
Why are you not acknowledging that this is Hamas' policy?
00:10:30.900
What I acknowledge about Hamas is irrelevant because...
00:10:44.640
No, not when you don't let me finish sentences.
00:10:49.960
I'll give you a long answer if you let me finish this one sentence.
00:11:01.860
Why do I talk about something we both disagree with?
00:11:03.500
Hamas has been the governing entity in Gaza for how many years?
00:11:10.260
Because Hamas did what they did on October 7th.
00:11:19.620
You're trying to dodge it with what about us about Hamas.
00:11:28.540
This is a pub blood by an Israeli sniper who's...
00:11:34.280
It's a sniper who shot at a Palestinian grandmother.
00:11:46.160
You know I can go through multiple examples, right?
00:11:50.180
The Al-Dos family in Gaza whose apartment building was bombed.
00:12:01.480
But if an Israeli Zionist is killed, we will make sure it's Hamas.
00:12:10.820
But if it's a Palestinianist, we need to know who it is.
00:12:19.240
An Israeli soldier relays that a senior commander asked him to shoot an armed man with a white
00:12:28.400
Another Israeli soldier told Plus 972 there were no restrictions on ammunition.
00:12:35.440
When soldiers see someone approaching, it's permissible to shoot them.
00:12:40.240
This is testimony from Israeli soldiers, Joe, that it's a free fire zone.
00:12:48.360
That is what you're defending today, which is kind of sad.
00:13:02.060
I'll say what Hamas did on October 7th was a war crime.
00:13:10.080
I don't trust some international group who has...
00:13:12.960
You don't trust Palestinians who talk about being great...
00:13:15.560
Their own newspaper, Haaretz, is saying that their commanders were telling them, shoot.
00:13:43.880
Widow of the most pro-Israel senator in our lifetime.
00:13:46.480
She has said that people are starving to death in Gaza.
00:14:02.220
Answer it the first time, and I don't have to repeat it.
00:14:07.600
But gosh darn it, Israel has gone out of their way to allow aid in.
00:14:13.720
I mean, for two, three years, who's robbed the aid trucks and all the aid coming in?
00:14:21.260
According to the U.S. government, the Biden administration, you supported it, they didn't present evidence
00:14:25.400
The criminal gangs that Israel actually supports, according to the Israeli press.
00:14:28.740
Bro, even when food aid is not coming in, they blame Hamas.
00:14:32.060
Like, it's like if a lightning, a thunder hit Israel or something like that, they will
00:14:49.620
And I do not sit in front of you and say that this is all one-sided, like you pretty
00:15:03.500
Joe, 10 seconds ago you said, I didn't say I put it all on the Palestinians.
00:15:07.920
Medi, I don't put it all on the Palestinian people.
00:15:26.140
And if they say that, Medi, then the Israeli people have to accept that.
00:15:32.880
Well, you don't know what you're talking about.
00:15:38.160
If the Palestinian people said tomorrow, if they all rose up...
00:15:47.040
It was part of the PLO chapter as of a few years ago.
00:15:55.560
And you know why I'm going to end this with Surah Mutaffifeen.
00:15:57.600
What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say in the Qur'an?
00:16:22.440
But on that day, the believers will be laughing at the disbelievers.
00:16:34.040
Have the disbelievers been paid for what they used to do?
00:16:39.940
As you guys commit genocide, massacre, call us the terrorists.
00:16:47.500
It's a graduation party for us because of your oppression to us.
00:16:55.240
And say, have you been paid back for what you used to do?
00:16:58.200
You evil, double standard hypocrites who have seen a genocide
00:17:01.400
and cannot even say one word against it because you've been paid.
