Caroline Glick is a journalist with the Jewish News Syndicate and host of the Caroline Glick Show. She moved to Israel as a young woman, became a member of the Israeli Defense Forces, and has been living through the war with her family in Jerusalem.
00:02:54.980So to say that I was, you know, that I was flummoxed by it, no, I mean, it never occurred to me that it would happen,
00:03:01.640but it never occurred to me that it didn't happen.
00:03:03.360But on the other hand, our experience with the international media and with their Palestinian fixers and their Palestinian correspondents in Gaza in particular,
00:03:14.220but also in the West Bank, has been that the Palestinian fixers and the Palestinian reporters that work for these international news agencies
00:03:24.100are very much mobilized on behalf of these Palestinian terrorist organizations.
00:03:29.360We saw back in the 2000s in the Palestinian terror war, Reuters photographers and Reuters reporters repeatedly were ferrying terrorists to and from terrorist attacks in Gaza.
00:03:42.620We had a 2003 suicide bombing at a restaurant in Tel Aviv adjacent to the American embassy called Mike's Place.
00:03:53.940And the terrorist suicide bombers, who were British, actually, were brought to the site of the bombing by an Italian journalist.
00:04:02.260I mean, so we've had a lot of incidences over the years in which Palestinian and also international journalists have been engaged in assisting in terrorist attacks against Israel.
00:04:19.220And then the coverage itself has been constrained or has censored, self-censored information.
00:04:26.020For instance, AP censored deliberately the fact that Hamas dead, that they count them in over the years and in repeated rounds of fighting against Israel.
00:04:40.120They count their dead terrorists as civilians so that they so that now they're saying there are 4,000 dead children.
00:04:47.880There are, I think, 9,000 overall civilian casualties.
00:04:50.960And there's absolutely no reason to trust the numbers because in the past we've discovered that both news services and Hamas, which is putting out this information as propaganda, always say that their fighters are, you know, 8-year-old children and they're not.
00:05:09.360And so we're not surprised by the collusion of the media.
00:05:13.200We're not surprised by the propagandas.
00:05:15.580The fact that these photographers, I mean, we saw Reuters photographer was actually doing a selfie of his invasion of Israel and he was holding, he's holding a hand grenade in his hands.
00:05:30.080He's, he's on the back of a motorcycle.
00:05:32.280Hassan Esliaya is, you know, someone who has worked for all of these major news organizations and he's got a grenade on the back of a motorcycle.
00:05:41.340That, you know, even with what you've discussed and I've known some of it, it's still shocking to me that they would ride shotgun on the way to an invasion.
00:05:56.720I mean, that's the point is that these people say that they're reporters and they're actually terrorists and they're part of like the, you know, military spokesman, you know, agency unit in the Canadian military or in the Israeli military or in the American military or what have you, except that they're both terrorists and so-called reporters.
00:06:16.020And what's worse about it is that, you know, our soldiers who are in the military spokesman's unit, they, they, they're, they're in uniform and you know that it's their statements.
00:06:25.380But in this case, the New York Times, CNN, AP and, and Reuters are paying them for their propaganda.
00:06:33.200They're paying, they're actually financing terrorism by paying these people money for their work.
00:06:39.360We've been dealing with the issue that our state broadcaster here in Canada, CBC, won't refer to Hamas as a terrorist organization.
00:06:57.700But we seem to be in the minority among many in the, in the Western media.
00:07:04.340Uh, we finally got some pushback where they've started to say when the reporting, the death counts that you were discussing before it was just the Hamas Ministry of Health says, and there would be, or yeah, sorry, the Gaza Ministry of Health.
00:07:22.860There'd be no, but it is the Hamas Ministry of Health.
00:07:25.900There'd be no acknowledgement until recently that, well, okay, maybe take this with a grain of salt, but this group controlled by Hamas says this.
00:07:35.540They're now, some of them, starting to say the Hamas-controlled Gaza Ministry of Health.
00:07:43.120How do, you know, average citizens who still, for the most part, I believe, are on Israel's side here in Canada and in the United States, how do they put on the pressure on these media outlets to start telling the truth?
00:08:01.220We, we've been subjected to this brutal abuse by the international press corps here in Israel for decades, for decades, for as long as I remember.
00:08:12.540Um, you know, we've, we've never, ever seen coverage, uh, by the so-called mainstream media in the West of Israel that is anywhere, even in the neighborhood of fair or objective.
00:08:30.620Uh, you want to, you want to say you're not going to pay your fee for CBC, uh, so long as they continue to, uh, treat Hamas as some sort of a military organization because you'd never heard of a military organization that burns babies alive.
00:08:46.920I mean, you can do any of those things, but I, I, it's the longest they have, uh, they, they know that they will always be budgeted, that nobody will be fired, that nobody will be held to account.
00:08:59.080And that's what we see also in Israel.
00:09:00.720I mean, our media is terrible here as well.
00:09:02.600And the worst are the people in the state media, because they don't have to worry about any profit margin.
00:09:08.680They'll get their money no matter what.
00:09:10.620And as long as your government doesn't threaten their funding from the government, they're going to continue on.
00:09:15.600So I think the only thing that you can do is pressure your government to stop funding them.
00:09:19.740Israel has, um, I was having this debate with, uh, with one of my colleagues.
00:09:24.500I said, I think Israel has done fairly well in the PR battle.
00:09:28.520And they said, do you really think so?
00:09:31.860And I said, well, imagine what it would be like if the spokespeople for the IDF weren't out there, uh, putting out straightforward information and you can take what the IDF says with a grain of salt as well.
00:09:43.400If you wish, you know, it's probably wise to, to do that for all sides when you're dealing with a, with a war, but without them being out there, they wouldn't, I mean, it would be even more one-sided than it is now.
00:09:57.800But, but, but I want to ask you, you, you've got teenagers, um, the, the, the world has changed and young people are consuming all their news, what news they do consume.
00:10:09.260Um, um, at the end of their hand on their phones, they're on Tik TOK.
00:10:13.860And so the IDF and the various spokespeople, they're great at going on TV.
00:10:18.460They're even pretty good at Twitter and Facebook.
00:10:20.800Um, but one of my colleagues recently did an audit of how the, the war is being covered on Tik TOK.
00:10:30.580Um, have, have the Israeli defense forces, the Israeli government, have they adjusted for the new time period?
00:10:38.380I mean, there's nothing you can do about Al Jazeera, but, you know, have they adjusted to the new technology and the way people are, are consuming news?
00:10:46.400Because I'm sure you saw the poll that showed 18 to 24 year olds in America, mostly backing Hamas.
00:10:53.040Look, I mean, the, first of all, yes, I think that we have soldiers, young soldiers who are doing videos on Tik TOK as well.
00:11:02.480And a lot of Israeli influencers are on Tik TOK as well, but there's really nothing you can do because Tik TOK is a Chinese platform and they're pushing out this stuff with their algorithms and they're putting the Bella Hadids of the world on everybody's front page.
00:11:17.400And this is very much a deliberate policy on the part of the Chinese communist, uh, uh, regime.
00:11:23.320So, you know, this isn't, this isn't entirely, and, you know, in something that can be controlled by Israel and, uh, and, and it's a problem.
00:11:32.800I mean, the Trump administration's warnings about Tik TOK, which the Biden administration ignored were based on, on reality.
00:11:40.520You know, Tik TOK is a hostile platform.
00:11:42.760They're poisoning the brains of Americans.
00:11:44.420They're poisoning the brains of young people all over the Western world.
00:11:47.600And you look at the, what, what the content that Chinese, uh, children are, are getting, are consuming from Tik TOK and it's all mind games.
00:11:55.660It's all Rubik's cubes and things like that to improve their, their cognitive capabilities.
00:12:01.400And in America, they're, they're the exact opposite.
00:12:04.280They're trying to dumb everybody down and make them addicted to pornography.
00:12:07.720So, you know, there's only so much that you can do in a platform like that.
00:12:12.080And I think Israel is doing its best, but I was looking at the data.
00:12:15.780Maybe it was the data that you're, that you guys compiled, but I mean, it, it, the, the disparity between what young people are seeing of pro Israel versus pro Hamas, uh, Tik TOK posts.
00:12:30.980I mean, it was an, it was an enormous disparity between the two.
00:12:34.760And I, I don't know how much, uh, how many resources Israel can put into it.
00:12:39.180I mean, the other thing is that you have to understand that these young people are predisposed to hate Israel because they've been indoctrinated, uh, by the, by the, by the, uh, what are they called?
00:12:50.200The, the, the diversity crowd, the, the EI crowd to think that, you know, that Israel is an oppressor here and that Hamas is the oppressed and Israel therefore can do no good.
00:13:00.760And we deserve to be raped and butchered and kidnapped and Hamas can do no wrong because, you know, whatever.
00:13:07.340Or the fact that there's been no Israeli presence in Gaza since 2005 is immaterial.
00:13:13.120You know, the, it's all facts have no meaning for people who have been indoctrinated into this false narrative that says that Israel is to blame for everything.
00:13:21.940It's a blood libel, but it's being taught to children throughout Western, throughout the Western world, beginning in kindergarten and going through university and, and, and postgraduate studies that, you know,
00:13:34.660you can go to the best university in, in, in, in, in a Western country, you can go to the best schools and you will never read a book about Israel that has any truth to it.
00:13:46.000And they're all written by professors who have been tenured because that's what they do.
00:13:50.740They've, they're on this assembly line of lying.
00:13:54.000And so, you know, these people in many cases, they just, you know, you, you, they're, it's like a lead box, you know, you can't get any truth into them because they're fully indoctrinated.
00:14:05.440It's a bigger problem than TikTok, but the same people who allow TikTok to operate in Western countries, knowing that it's a Chinese communist party platform for propaganda.
00:14:16.380They're really, you know, they're to blame and they're the same people who have been enabling this indoctrination of, of, of the West.
00:14:24.280We, we had professors at York university and the university of Toronto at law schools, probably our two most preeminent law schools in the country, put out statements in support of the resistance in the hours and days after the October 7th attack.
00:14:44.320Uh, this week we've had, you know, more demonstrations at Concordia university in Montreal, a professor from the university of Montreal showed up at Concordia and was yelling at a Jewish student, go back to Poland.
00:15:00.280You know, that's one of the tropes, right?
00:15:02.120Well, Jews aren't, um, they're not, they're not indigenous to the Middle East.
00:15:07.620They come from Eastern Europe, go back there.
00:15:09.260Uh, but the students behind them just kept yelling colonizers, colonizers at a group of Jewish students trying to set up a, just a, it was an information table that that's, that's the level of indoctrination that you're talking about, that we, we didn't seem to care or mind as these ideas are put forward.
00:15:31.760And people would just say, oh, don't worry about it.
00:15:37.420And I've been speaking out against it for years and now we see exactly what kind of harm this causes.
00:15:43.480Yeah, I've been speaking out against it and warning about it for more years than I can remember, but, um, you're right.
00:15:50.820Uh, and, uh, and now suddenly the Jews in America, the Jews in Canada, the Jews in Australia and other places are waking up to the fact that while they were,
00:16:01.760they were explaining away this anti-Western indoctrination that placed the Jews sort of in the center of the groups that you're supposed to hate, right.
00:16:13.220In addition to white people, in addition to their, their founding fathers and all of their different countries, um, you know, that they were explaining this away and black lives matter and we're liberal.
00:16:23.540And, you know, we want to help the oppressed because we believe in that too, because we're liberals that they never understood that the people who were pushing these lines, hate them.
00:16:33.680And now they're suddenly waking up that this is what they, they refuse to see.
00:16:38.480And, you know, people like, I assume you, and certainly myself, you know, we were demonized for calling out the hate because we were alarmists.
00:16:47.340So we're, well, how can, how can you be against, how can you be against diversity, Caroline?
00:17:52.920And, and the sheriff of Ventura County in Los Angeles is saying he doesn't know, you know, he died of cerebral bleeding after he fell on his head.
00:18:01.840And he doesn't know whether it was a blow to the head by a megaphone that caused him to fall or whether maybe he had some, you know, brain problem that caused him to fall and he would have fallen anyway.
00:18:11.380You know, it's like, you know, you were shot in the head with a, with, with, with, with a bullet and your brain explodes.
00:18:17.780But, you know, you know, the shooter isn't arrested because the sheriff can't decide whether, you know, your brain might've exploded on its own, even if you hadn't been shot.
00:18:27.920And that's what he's saying that's that 69 year old, uh, Philip Kessler, who is dead, right.
00:18:34.900Is, is, is still not, it's still, his assailant is at large because Los Angeles can't figure out whether killing an old Jewish man holding an Israeli flag in front of a bunch of pro Hamas, pro genocide, uh, demonstrators on the streets of Los Angeles, California, where they're killing him as a crime or not.
00:18:58.240Uh, we, we, we've had an, an, a mom in Montreal lead people in a chant calling for God to kill all of, uh, their enemies.
00:19:07.740Uh, I'm looking at one of the videos that you posted in Brooklyn of Hamas supporter taunting a Jewish man because he's bleeding after they hit him over the head with a chair.
00:19:18.860Uh, Suella Braverman, who's the British home secretary actually came out with a,
00:19:24.960a piece in the times of London saying that police in that country, metropolitan police specifically in London are treating what's happening now very differently than they would any other,
00:19:37.640uh, mass, uh, protest organizing, um, that they would crack down on others and they're not cracking down here.
00:19:48.700There are calls for her to be fired for pointing this out, but whether it's here in Canada, in the United States, in Britain, there is a double standard at play.
00:19:58.760Look, I mean, Suella Braverman isn't saying anything that should be even slightly controversial, right?
00:20:08.460But the metropolitan police, they have an, an Islamic affairs advisor.
00:20:19.320And he's advising the metropolitan police in London about how to handle Muslims.
00:20:27.300So not surprisingly, if these are the people who are giving you advice, people who support the annihilation of the Jewish state and the Jewish people,
00:20:35.380then you're going to come up with all kinds of things.
00:20:37.640Like, for instance, on your national remembrance day of, for the British soldiers who were killed fighting world, the world wars,
00:20:46.300that you're going to have, um, a million man march of terrorist supporters of, of genocide supporters walking through the streets of London.
00:20:56.120And, you know, openly, virulently hateful of Jewish people, hateful of, of Britain, hateful of the country that they've immigrated to.
00:21:05.540They hate it and they hate what it represents and they hate Jews and they want all Jews to be dead.
00:21:12.080And the metropolitan police doesn't have any problem with them marching.
00:21:15.700And by the way, you know, every previous weekend that they've had these mass marches, mass rallies on the streets of London by these jihadists,
00:21:25.280people, these jihadists have, lo and behold, attacked and hurt people, hurt police officers.
00:21:31.820They've attacked police officers, they've attacked Jews, they've attacked innocent people walking down the street, including innocent Jews, right?
00:21:40.880There's such a thing, but nothing's happening to them.
00:21:43.860Instead, the metropolitan police is demonizing Suella Braverman for calling them out on this.
00:21:48.720Our prime minister finally came out with a bold statement a few days ago, uh, denouncing anti-Semitism, saying that this is not who we are as Canadians,
00:21:59.700but it took Justin Trudeau several weeks to do this.
00:22:04.180Um, he, uh, he had to wait until there were two fire bombings in his hometown of, uh, one of a Jewish community center, one of a, um, a, uh, a synagogue.
00:22:14.200Um, there has since then been two shootings at Jewish schools in the same area.
00:22:21.220Um, we've had the, you know, a Roma espresso bar, uh, targeted with thousands of people showing up outside locations, banging on the windows, graffiti, yelling for boycotts, uh, because there is Zionist businesses, a cafe land where the same thing.
00:22:38.940Um, this has gone on and on, and it, and it took him weeks to finally say it.
00:22:45.140If leaders don't speak up early and quickly, it allows this sort of bullshit to grow.
00:22:53.440And it's not just that you have to remember what the effect of these, of these attacks on these Jewish, on these Jewish, uh, institutions and, uh, kosher restaurants.
00:23:03.880I mean, all of them are located in neighborhoods with large Jewish populations.
00:23:09.740And so the people who live in these areas, even if they weren't, they weren't directly targeted, they're terrorized by what just happened because it's in their home.
00:23:26.300Um, these are cafes that, you know, that, that religious Jews eat at because they're kosher.
00:23:32.520So you're, you're, you're talking about a phenomenon, but that's, that's geared towards terrorizing the entire Jewish community of, of, of, uh, of, um, of Canada.
00:23:44.760And just like it's happening in America as well, and in Australia and in other countries.
00:23:49.040And the thing about your prime minister, Justin Trudeau, I'm glad that he came out with a statement.
00:23:52.820I haven't seen it, but you know, we have to remember, I mean, we in Israel were appalled and the image was widely shared on Halloween, right?
00:24:01.800After they beheaded, I don't know how many hundreds of Israelis, soldiers, young men and babies, right?
00:24:11.720On October 7th, his son had, he, he took a picture, how cute of his son's, uh, uh, Halloween costume that his son is about to go out in.
00:24:23.260And it's of somebody without a head and he's carrying the skull in his hand.
00:24:28.960And Israelis looked at that and said, what the hell is this?
00:24:33.280I mean, he's got cultural sensitivity to every, every minority group.
00:24:41.260And some probably that you've never heard of, but we just went through a slaughter of Holocaust proportions.
00:24:47.840Where among the many sadistic acts of, of Hamas monsters was wholesale, wide-scale beheading of Jewish victims.
00:24:59.280And not only Jewish victims, also Thai, uh, Thai farmers who work here as, as, uh, as, um, as guest workers in our fields.
00:25:10.160They were also subjected to beheading and torture.
00:25:14.780And here is the prime minister of Canada's son dressed up as somebody without a head.
00:25:20.920It, it was, we, we were appalled by it.
00:25:24.360And that's actually, frankly, the only thing that I remember since October 7th in relation to your prime minister.
00:25:31.260Yeah, well, he, um, he's been a bit soft.
00:25:37.080He was good with his initial statement on Israel having a right to defend itself in calling Hamas what it is, a terrorist organization.
00:25:44.620Uh, but, uh, until this statement just a few days ago, he's been, he's been very soft.
00:25:50.300He's been trying to heal divides in his party because, uh, there are people who think, um, he shouldn't be so kind to Israel.
00:25:59.100That he should be more on the Palestinian side.
00:26:02.460And, you know, that's something that progressive parties in particular, not just them, but in particular, they are having to deal with right now as, um, as this pulls them apart.
00:26:12.300Caroline, we've got to take a break, but when we come back, I want to ask you about the institution capture and the capture of our professional class in this.
00:26:22.600Because so often when we discuss, uh, bigotry like this, people slough it off as, well, it's the uneducated.
00:26:32.720Um, we're seeing right now that it's the exact opposite.
00:26:36.400So I want to ask you about that when we come back.
00:26:38.680At McGill University on November 9th, the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, there was a poster being distributed and it called for a national day of shutdown in support of a rally for Gaza.
00:26:57.600And you could say, well, look, it's free speech.
00:27:03.480But here's the problem, the poster calling for the national day of shutdown, being distributed on one of Canada's preeminent universities in a city with a large Jewish population, a school with a large Jewish population, featured an image of a group of individuals kicking and breaking glass windows.
00:27:20.840They were memorializing Kristallnacht while calling for the national day of shutdown in relation to Gaza.
00:27:28.260Caroline, these are our supposed elite institutions.
00:27:33.480I have watched doctors, lawyers, academics, union leaders, the people who are supposed to be the best and brightest of our society, be the ones leading the charge on horrific anti-Semitic statements, including one doctor saying, in response to another doctor online, who, you know, one doctor in Toronto said, I'm worried seeing Jewish businesses targeted, um, our schools, daycare centers, and everything else next.
00:28:03.020And a fellow doctor replied, look at what's happening in Gaza, you guys deserve all this.
00:28:11.780This is not what people think of, that we don't, you know, stereotype, yes.
00:28:16.860But it's stereotyped that, well, this sort of bigotry belongs to the uneducated.
00:28:28.500You know, I mean, I saw that Professor Alan Dershowitz spoke about this, uh, I think yesterday in a clip that I saw today, where he said that these, uh, pro-Hamas demonstrators on university campuses are today's Hitler youth.
00:28:42.680Um, they're acting with the same, uh, with the same thuggery that the Hitler youth, uh, have behaved, trying to shut down anybody who opposes them and beating them.
00:28:53.960And we've seen this on Harvard campus.
00:28:58.180We've seen it at all the elite campuses in the United States.
00:29:01.380And the other thing that we find, and I have a podcast, the Carolyn Glick show a couple of weeks ago, uh, Victor Davis Hanson was my guest.
00:29:08.720And, uh, and Victor Hanson explained, he said, look, you know, when you look at the data with the polling, the higher the level of education, the less the support for Israel, because the people who go through these institutions of higher learning, particularly the more elite ones are fully indoctrinated into this anti, this Jew hatred, which has been repackaged from antisemitism, which the Nazis and the proto-Nazis invade invented when they said that the Jews were erased.
00:29:38.700I mean, we're not erased, but whatever.
00:29:40.540They said the Jews are erased and where we're subhuman, we're the lowest on the totem pole, and we're also the most dangerous.
00:29:47.020And therefore we have to be destroyed because every single person who is Jewish is a threat to all that's good.
00:29:53.220And they repackaged it after the Holocaust is anti-Zionism because the center of Jewish life moved to the state of Israel, the Jewish state.
00:30:01.020So if you say that you're not antisemitic, you're anti-Zionist, well, that may be true.
00:30:05.200Maybe you don't hate Jews as a race, but you hate Jews as a nation.
00:30:08.700And now the majority, the largest Jewish community in the world are the Israeli Jews.
00:30:13.960You know, there are 7 million Jews in Israel.
00:30:16.860And so when you're saying you're anti-Zionist, what you're saying is that you reject the basic humanity and the right to exist of the largest Jewish community on earth.
00:30:31.380And just as the Nazi youth were all located at the most prestigious universities and elite institutions in Germany in the 1930s,
00:30:44.160So, too, you see that the same annihilationist, genocidal Jew hatred that is taking off throughout the Western world,
00:30:56.280its epicenter is the most elite institutions in those countries.
00:31:03.620And so it's not a surprise that Harvard and Yale and Columbia and Stanford and Cornell have become epicenters of this call for the annihilation of the Jewish people,
00:31:16.700because that's been the focus of efforts of these jihado Nazis, you know, spending billions and billions of petrodollars,
00:31:26.740first from Saudi Arabia and then later from Qatar, and then billions of dollars from cultural Marxists like George Soros,
00:31:34.140to indoctrinate the young of the West to believe that the heart of evil is the source of it all are the Jews,
00:31:43.800and particularly the largest Jewish community in the world, Israel,
00:31:48.580and any Jewish person in the diaspora outside of Israel, America, Canada, wherever, that supports Israel.
00:36:05.280And it's supported by far-left groups from Antifa and Democratic Socialists of America and others,
00:36:14.660and also from more mainstream progressive groups, including the Democrat Party,
00:36:19.160who want to get out ahead of the race issue and say that they support these organizations.
00:36:25.100But from the very outset, the Black Lives Matter group has been openly anti-Semitic.
00:36:33.620In their riots in 2020, they attacked Jewish businesses in Los Angeles and synagogues and everywhere from Los Angeles to Peoria, Illinois, deliberately.
00:36:45.200They're also infused with the radical anti-Semitism of the nation of Islam.
00:36:50.200You've had leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement, like Patrice Coulard, going to, going to, going to the Palestinian Authority on organized trips where they can conflate racial prejudice in the United States with Israel's oppression of the Palestinians.
00:37:13.220And they've done this, you know, and they've enabled anti-Israel, the pro-Hamas, the pro-PLO, the pro-annihilation of the Jewish state Muslim groups,
00:37:28.260to be an integral part of the intersectional alliance of Muslim organizations, progressive organizations, communist organizations in America and in other countries throughout the world.
00:37:44.960So that's the last point I'll make, is that this whole thing is under this headline of intersectionality.
00:37:51.040And the idea is, just like you see with the diversity, equity, and inclusion gestalt, that there are only certain groups that are protected because they're the ones that are oppressed.
00:38:03.340So the intersectional alliance is the red-green alliance in action, where you have all of the groups that have been approved victim groups.
00:38:12.500And the Palestinians are very much members of this group, the Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks the annihilation not only of Israel, but of the entire free world, is very much a part of this group.
00:38:25.320So a couple of years ago, New York University, you had the Muslim students called for a boycott of all pro-Israel operations on campus.
00:38:38.180And that call was joined by 52 student groups, because they're all part of this intersectional victims alliance.
00:38:45.740And so the Palestinians called for boycotting Jewish students, and you had 52 groups on New York University campus who signed on the petition and said that they would boycott these Jewish student groups.
00:38:59.740Wow. Before I ask you about what we're missing in the news here, I do want to ask you, do you take any hope that the U.S. House of Representatives did vote to censure Rashida Tlaib, the Democrat from Michigan, over her comments?
00:39:21.460Look, I think the problem is the same as you're experiencing in Canada, which is that, you know, the surveys show since October 7th that two thirds or a couple of weeks ago, I saw three quarters of Americans support Israel and want Israel to finish Hamas.
00:39:42.120And not only do they support Israel, but they passionately support Israel.
00:39:46.800They think that supporting Israel is more important than any other foreign policy priority, including securing the U.S. border with Mexico.
00:39:57.900And yet the quarter or the third of American voters who side with Hamas and against Israel are predominantly members or voters of the Democratic Party.
00:40:10.100And so when President Biden looks at the political reality of his party going into an election year, his willingness to actually do what the American people want him to do is small, is smaller than you would expect it to be.
00:40:34.940His support for Israel with U.S. efforts to curtail Israel's military efforts by, among other things, constantly hectoring Israel about what we can and cannot do in war.
00:40:45.520And trying to force us to accept ceasefires that will only aid Hamas and imperil our soldiers on the ground in Gaza.
00:40:56.000It's because, among other things, I mean, there are also a lot of people inside of the administration holding key positions that are deeply hostile towards Israel, like the special envoy to the Palestinians, Hadi Amar, who has legion ties to Hamas.
00:41:09.500So you have people in key positions in the State Department, in the Pentagon, in the White House, who have histories of anti-Semitism, of support for Palestinian terrorism, of hatred for Israel.
00:41:24.540But aside from that, if you assume that Biden really wants to support Israel, he has a political issue, which is that he has so many voters.
00:41:34.360The state of Michigan, for instance, hangs in the balance, and he can't win re-election without Michigan, that has the largest concentration of Muslim voters, and many, many of them are radicalized and hate Israel in the United States.
00:41:49.000And so he's looking at the political situation, and despite the overwhelming support that Israel enjoys from the American people, it's not clear that that support can actually be translated over time into meaningful and lasting support from the Biden administration for Israel.
00:42:08.680As we pursue this existential war against this monstrous group of barbarians and savages who want to do us all in, who want to do to us what they did to our brothers and sisters and children on the Gaza border on October 7th, and what they continue to do to the hostages.
00:42:32.020What are the main points, the main stories that we may be missing if we're outside of Israel?
00:42:41.100You watch the news constantly, you comment on it on your own show.
00:42:47.040I'm always pleasantly surprised when I see a good piece of reporting, and I'll give a shout out to NBC News that interviewed and pushed the Hamas leader on his call for a ceasefire recently.
00:42:59.220I thought that was good, but we often get, as we were discussing earlier, a one-sided view.
00:43:05.200There was a story that came out about Israeli tanks protecting a corridor so that Palestinian civilians could leave.
00:43:13.100That doesn't get played up in the news.
00:43:15.160What should we know, what should we look for that we're not seeing in the mainstream media?
00:43:20.240It's hard for me to tell because I haven't been following your media so much to give specific things, but I want to just make a couple of general points that I think are really important.
00:43:32.120The first one is that Israel always follows international law.
00:43:37.900So anybody claiming that Israel is not acting in accordance with the laws of war is lying.
00:43:52.060In Israel's 75 years history, there has been one recorded example of Israeli soldiers receiving an illegal order and carrying it out, and this was in the early 1950s, okay?
00:44:09.580So anything that you're reading in the paper that's claiming that Israel is carrying out war crimes is simply a lie.
00:44:15.880I think we said at the outset of our conversation, you know, the data of Palestinian casualties being put out by the so-called Gaza Health Ministry is all Hamas propaganda.
00:44:27.960In 2002, there was a pitch battle between dug-in Palestinian terrorists in Janine against IDF reservists.
00:44:38.600And in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Janine, Janine was the epicenter of the Palestinian suicide bomb complex.
00:44:48.420And every house in the area that was the site of the battle was booby-trapped.
00:44:57.000And our soldiers were being shot at from all directions, okay?
00:45:01.120And at the end of the battle that day, the Palestinians said that it was like the Warsaw Ghetto, that Israel had conducted a carnage of Nazi-like proportions against innocent Palestinians.
00:45:14.760Kofi Annan, the Secretary General of the UN at the time, called for a fact-finding mission and accused Israel of crimes against humanity.
00:45:24.340They said that there were 500 people killed, at least, and that they were all civilians, and that Israel had deliberately targeted them.
00:45:33.000And when the dust settled, we had lost 22 soldiers that day.
00:45:38.100And you know how many Palestinians were killed?
00:45:57.960And all of these credible, moderate Palestinian spokesmen that the West always said that they were the peacemakers.
00:46:05.840They were the ones that need to get a two-state solution.
00:46:08.180First and foremost, Saibar Ikat, if anybody remembers that name.
00:46:11.200They were the ones putting out this blood libel on CNN, to Kristina Amanpour, and to all these other senior reporters.
00:46:19.140And none of the reporters that were propagating this blood libel were ever called to account for the lies.
00:46:24.960And none of the Palestinians who were disseminating this blood libel were ever disgraced and refused entry to television studios worldwide.
00:46:34.780And none of the international diplomats that were accusing Israel of carrying out Nazi-proportioned crimes against humanity were ever demoted or fired for doing this.
00:46:45.560But Israel, the blood libel of the Janine refugee camp, lives on still today.
00:46:50.920And it resonates in the horrid, the wretched reporting regarding what's happening on the ground in Gaza.
00:46:57.660I don't know how many people on the Palestinian side have been killed.
00:47:01.420And I don't know what the breakdown is between civilians and terrorists.
00:47:09.700But what I do know, and what everybody knows, everybody who knows anything knows, is that the data that is being put out by Hamas are lies.
00:47:20.420And the idea that the AP, the CBC, Reuters, CNN, BBC, all of them are reporting these numbers, even if they say the Hamas-controlled Gaza health ministry, they are parroting lies being put out by a terrorist organization.
00:47:38.620People have to recognize that so much of the information that they're getting on the ground from Palestinian sources is pure and utter crap.
00:47:48.820It's just not true, and it's all propaganda.
