00:00:00.000 Tonight, a woman escapes ISIS only to meet one of her torturers on a bus in Canada.
00:00:05.620 It's June 26th and you're watching The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:14.180 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:18.000 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:21.700 You come here once a year with a sign and you feel morally superior.
00:00:24.660 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:00:35.380 Canadians like to help. It's part of our national DNA and that includes taking genuine refugees.
00:00:42.220 According to the UN definition of that term, that's people who have an imminent danger of being persecuted by virtue of their race or religion.
00:00:50.520 It doesn't mean economic migrants and it doesn't mean the persecutors too.
00:00:57.020 Joining us now via Skype is our friend Barbara Kay with a terrifying story of how Canada has taken in both the wolves and the lambs from Syria and Iraq. 0.72
00:01:06.440 Barbara, great to see you again.
00:01:08.440 Good to be here.
00:01:09.440 I want to talk about your important article in the National Post.
00:01:12.220 Let me quote the headline of it.
00:01:13.740 The Yazidis are in danger of extinction and Ottawa stopped helping.
00:01:19.380 Now, I've talked about the Yazidis before, but maybe you can remind our viewers, what is a Yazidi?
00:01:24.560 Who are they?
00:01:25.280 Where do they come from?
00:01:26.320 And why did you meet with them?
00:01:28.660 The Yazidi are a small people, about a million strong altogether.
00:01:31.900 And they're a very ancient people with roots going back 6,000 years in northern Iraq, which is the place that they originated from.
00:01:41.240 Their faith is kind of a mixture in a way of all the Abrahamic religions.
00:01:48.840 There's things that would be recognizable to Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
00:01:54.940 But it's their own.
00:01:56.200 It's quite unique.
00:01:57.980 They are a peaceful people, monotheistic.
00:02:00.180 They do not proselytize.
00:02:01.800 They've never hurt anybody.
00:02:03.200 But a lot of people have tried to hurt them.
00:02:04.920 And they have suffered 74 genocides, Ezra, including having lost 350,000 people under the Turks alongside the Armenians from 1914 to 18.
00:02:17.740 So this is a people that has suffered greatly but has never caused suffering to other people.
00:02:21.980 And they are in the crosshairs of the Islamic State who, in August of 2014, just attacked them in their ancient homeland.
00:02:37.540 And they were supposed to have been protected by the Kurdish Peshmerga, but they weren't.
00:02:42.860 They've suffered so terribly executions, sex slavery, you name it.
00:02:49.560 There is nothing so horrible that you can think of that these poor people have not suffered.
00:02:54.080 And they desperately, desperately need support and help to get away.
00:02:59.180 Yeah.
00:02:59.560 You know, when I first encountered Yazidis when I visited Germany, of all places, a couple years ago,
00:03:06.920 some Yazidi rape slaves had been accepted as refugees to Germany.
00:03:14.940 So these were, they killed the Yazidi men.
00:03:18.140 Yes.
00:03:18.660 They kept the women as sex slaves, rape slaves, and they were prized. 0.99
00:03:24.280 They were brought and sold at a market.
00:03:26.000 And they were prized for their blue eyes in some cases.
00:03:29.020 I met a Yazidi rape slave in Germany who told me she had lost count after she had been raped 240 times.
00:03:39.340 And it was just horrific.
00:03:43.260 Let me throw one more detail at you.
00:03:44.680 I'd like you to reply to this, and I'd like you to tell me about your experience.
00:03:47.340 I met this Yazidi rape slave in Germany. 0.98
00:03:51.160 She fled to Germany as a refugee.
00:03:53.480 She was at a refugee absorption center.
00:03:58.140 And she had to flee from that official German refugee center again to a retreat, to another retreat within Germany.
00:04:13.100 Because even in Germany, Islamic State predators were there with her. 1.00
00:04:20.200 They came in Germany with her.
00:04:21.920 And if she had stayed in that absorption center, she would have been targeted yet again.
00:04:28.120 So she was actually the guest of a Christian nun.
00:04:33.800 That's how predators have come with her. 1.00
00:04:37.580 The wolves have come with the lambs.
00:04:38.820 That's what I detected in Germany two years ago.
00:04:41.200 Yeah.
00:04:41.620 Yes.
00:04:42.040 I think it's impossible to do the kind of serious vetting.
00:04:46.320 When you're bringing in people by the thousands, it's very difficult to do the kind of vetting that would allow you to separate, you know, the lambs from the wolves.
00:04:55.380 So I heard a similar story on Sunday when I went to an educational meeting about the Yazidi situation.
00:05:03.900 And there I met two Yazidi women from London and the priest and counselor who had come with them who interpreted for me as they told me their stories.
00:05:15.300 And one I wrote about in my column this week.
00:05:18.900 And it was a pretty gruesome story, very much along the lines of what you just told me.
00:05:24.800 And she, in August 2014, when the Islamic State came for the Yazidis, she and her two little children, she was 29 at the time, were separated from the men.
00:05:40.380 She never saw her father-in-law and her husband again.
00:05:43.340 They were doubtless killed almost immediately.
00:05:47.680 And she was taken.
00:05:49.120 And with the other girls, most of them teenagers, they're not supposed to take it.
00:05:54.080 Their own code says they're not supposed to take married women as sex slaves. 1.00
00:05:57.740 But she was very attractive.
00:05:59.900 And she, too, for months and months and months, she was sold back and forth to many, many men.
00:06:08.040 And the man who organized the auction, the man who organized the sales of the girls and women, she was also his sex slave for a while, too.
00:06:22.320 So eventually, it's quite a long story, but eventually she did manage to escape, to return to Kurdistan, to her relatives there, and eventually to come to Canada with her children.
00:06:33.900 I met her, I spoke to her for about an hour, and she told me that recently she was on a bus in London, Ontario, and she was shocked and horrified to see that the man who had organized the sex slavery ring that she had been a part of was sitting on the same bus.
00:06:52.480 She got off the bus, she got off the bus, he got off at the same stop, she stared at him, he stared back at her, realized who she was, covered his face and ran away.
00:07:01.840 She immediately went to the refugee center to tell the people there what had happened.
00:07:08.740 She told them, she told them his name, his real name, and his Islamic State name.
00:07:15.520 And their response was, oh, you've been very traumatized, you can't trust yourself to have recognized him with reliability.
00:07:25.640 And they also said, according to her, this woman or the person said to her, don't tell anyone.
00:07:33.580 And that kind of just made me real.
00:07:37.420 Is that, that's the response?
00:07:39.080 I guess, I guess the sense is, hey, this is embarrassing.
00:07:44.820 If an ISIS guy is here in Canada, well, what's our first response? 1.00
00:07:49.680 Not find the guy, but tell the victim to be quiet.
00:07:53.400 I mean, that was horrendous.
00:07:55.020 And I, of course, wrote that, I wrote it up.
00:07:59.420 And I said, well, she did tell someone, she told me, and I know this guy's name.
00:08:03.920 And then I waited to be, to see if I'd be contacted by the government, by immigration or, or somebody.
00:08:11.120 So, in fact, I did get contacted, but by a Canadian border security agent, who was not contacting me officially.
00:08:19.940 He read, he read it and he said, look, I, I want to follow up on this.
00:08:23.700 Has anybody contacted you?
00:08:25.200 And I said, no.
00:08:26.340 He says, well, I'm going to follow up on this.
00:08:28.520 So, I put him in touch with the, the, the head of the Yazidi community, who had done my translation and, and who was helping these women.
00:08:40.460 And I certainly hope that that will lead to, hopefully, finding this guy and, and apprehending him.
00:08:49.360 But you're saying this contact was not done in his official capacity.
00:08:53.800 It was like he was calling you off duty or something, unofficially.
00:08:57.580 So, no one, officially, no one with authority.
00:09:00.640 So, he was, he was on the lowdown.
00:09:01.820 He, he was saying, I'm, I'm, this is just a private act.
00:09:04.900 So, no.
00:09:05.620 Well, he said, I'm going to, no, he said, I'm going to go immediately to my commanding or superior.
00:09:11.140 Oh, no, no, no.
00:09:11.620 He wants to do it officially, but I thought it was very interesting.
00:09:14.640 I didn't hear from Immigration Canada.
00:09:16.580 I didn't hear from CSIS or I didn't hear from the, I mean, I didn't hear from anybody that you would expect would be in charge of.
00:09:24.980 I'm just glad this one guy got in touch with me.
00:09:27.640 But you remind me of an old movie.
00:09:30.560 I think it starred Dustin Hoffman called The Marathon Man where, where a Nazi concentration camp guard finds himself in New York and he's walking down the street and his survive, the victim survivors of the concentration camp spot him on the street.
00:09:48.140 That sounds like what this is.
00:09:51.000 And, and yet your story is shocking and horrifying, but we know that more than a hundred, well, we estimate it's more than a hundred.
00:09:59.140 We know for a fact 60 Islamic State terrorists have come back to Canada without prosecution.
00:10:06.000 We know the New York Times recently had an extended podcast interview with one of them boasting, not just about rape, but about murder.
00:10:15.500 And there with impunity here, how can that be?
00:10:19.620 I mean, I understand people would say, well, how do we prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a rape was committed, that a murder was committed?
00:10:26.540 But you don't have to prove that our, our criminal code had special amendments after 9-11 that simply supporting a terrorist group, going to support a terrorist group, flying to a terrorist group, all of those are serious offenses.
00:10:41.080 You don't even have to prove, because how could you possibly prove beyond a reasonable doubt what happened in a rape slave camp in Iraq?
00:10:48.240 But you can prove that he was there as a terrorist.
00:10:52.000 That's enough to convict.
00:10:53.480 Why haven't we had such a prosecution?
00:10:56.360 Look, I, I, search me.
00:10:58.840 This government seems very, very reluctant to probe or to, to get into the business of truly fighting back against, I mean, their idea of what to do with, with people who go and fight for Islamic State is to send them through a de-radical,
00:11:18.240 legalization program.
00:11:19.260 This is a very unrealistic government, Ezra, and a government that is not serious about helping the true victims.
00:11:26.960 The Yazidi people, by the way, they, a few hundred have been brought over here, but the government has no plans to bring any more in, in 2018.
00:11:36.260 And I, I'm just baffled by why that should be.
00:11:39.820 These are the true, they, these people cannot go back there.
00:11:43.540 They're, they're, they're being persecuted exactly as you say, the Jews were in, in, in, uh, Germany.
00:11:50.460 They are, uh, sure, uh, Syrian refugees, very important to help them if they are displaced by, by war.
00:11:57.940 I understand that they need help.
00:11:59.540 Uh, but these, these people need more than help.
00:12:01.560 They need to survive and they are on the brink.
00:12:04.820 I mean, these are very small numbers, these people, and these are true victims that have not been fighting with anybody and don't want to fight with anybody.
00:12:12.260 Uh, they would be ideal citizens.
00:12:14.160 We know their children would not grow up to be radicals.
00:12:16.900 That's for sure.
00:12:17.620 And why isn't our government reaching out to do more for them?
00:12:21.460 I don't get it.
00:12:22.340 Yeah.
00:12:22.720 You know, uh, I mentioned when I was in Germany and I met this, this, I was at this, um, sort of retreat where these rape slaves were being rehabilitated.
00:12:31.780 Um, I was also in Cologne, Germany, a fairly large city, and I was going down a very Muslim street, just talking to Muslims.
00:12:39.080 And one guy said, come over here.
00:12:41.800 I want to talk to you away from those other guys.
00:12:44.580 And I did.
00:12:45.420 And I said, why don't you want to talk with your buddies?
00:12:47.120 He said, I'm actually Yazidi.
00:12:49.520 And he pulled out some little necklace kind of thing, showing a religious symbol.
00:12:53.820 He said that even on the street, if those Muslims knew, and he's a man now, I'm not talking about a woman.
00:13:01.720 He was trying to blend in.
00:13:03.520 He said, if they knew he was a Yazidi, they would attack him in the streets of Cologne, Germany.
00:13:09.960 You know, Barbara, I don't know if you know, last summer we went to Iraq and we went to refugee camps.
00:13:15.700 There are special refugee camps, not run by the United Nations, full of Christians and Yazidis. 1.00
00:13:23.760 We went to one camp that was mainly Christian, but also Yazidis, because they don't, they're terrified to go to the UN refugee camps. 1.00
00:13:31.580 Those UN refugee camps are run by Muslims at the top and dominated by Muslims in the camps.
00:13:38.580 If they are ISIS friendly, a Christian would be killed, a Yazidi would be raped in the UN refugee camps. 0.74
00:13:47.140 And so there's...
00:13:47.580 Yes, and I'm sure, yeah, and I'm sure our government knows that, why they insist on only dealing with, through UN channels,
00:13:54.820 when it would be very, very simple to go to these other camps.
00:13:58.100 You know, we have Canadian troops in Kurdistan.
00:14:03.680 We've got boots on the ground there.
00:14:05.640 It would not be difficult for them to go to these camps, to escort people from the government,
00:14:13.400 to meet these people, to talk to them, to find out, and to get them here.
00:14:18.880 I find it, there's a kind of indifference in this government to anybody but Muslim refugees and Muslim needs, Muslim interests.
00:14:31.340 It's quite shocking to me that the true victims or the worst victims, Christians and Yazidis, 1.00
00:14:39.460 people who are never probably going to be going back to their homes ever,
00:14:46.880 although Muslims can go back after the dust settles.
00:14:50.620 And these are like the boat people from Vietnam. 1.00
00:14:53.520 Remember how we reached out and we brought them over?
00:14:57.120 Well, to me, these are the new boat people. 1.00
00:15:00.260 And where is the passion?
00:15:02.320 Where is the interest?
00:15:04.500 Well, I think you want to use the word passive.
00:15:07.020 I'm going to disagree with you.
00:15:08.180 You might recall that there are government-funded refugees, government-chosen refugees,
00:15:14.080 about 50,000 of them Trudeau brought over, just under 50,000.
00:15:17.660 But there's also a private refugee track.
00:15:19.960 That's when a church or another group gets together and says,
00:15:22.540 okay, we're going to scrape together the dough and we're all going to take an interest.
00:15:26.460 So first of all, we're going to pay the bills for this person.
00:15:28.620 Don't worry, taxpayers, it's not on you.
00:15:30.340 And second of all, you've got a bunch of church ladies who are going to ensure that that refugee gets integrated, 1.00
00:15:36.280 gets, you know, socialized.
00:15:39.820 The Trudeau government, for no reason that's discernible,
00:15:44.940 capped private refugees at 1,000, but has unlimited government refugees.
00:15:52.360 The private refugees were disproportionately Christian because you had a bunch of Christian churches
00:15:56.940 says let's bring the Christian refugees over. 0.99
00:16:01.300 There's no other explanation for why private refugees would be capped
00:16:05.260 other than they were Christian and Trudeau preferred Muslim refugees.
00:16:09.460 Because, by the way, they were far more likely to be integrated,
00:16:13.180 far more likely to get jobs, far more likely to learn English or French
00:16:16.960 than the government refugees just dumped in the bureaucracy.
00:16:20.380 That is not passive or neutral, Barbara.
00:16:24.140 You've got a good point.
00:16:25.500 That's Justin Trudeau.
00:16:26.200 And let me play for you a quick clip.
00:16:28.060 I don't know if you remember this, but I sure do.
00:16:30.240 Here's a clip from the 2015 federal election.
00:16:33.560 I remember clearly Justin Trudeau, I think he was at a Loblaws or something, was asked,
00:16:37.680 will you continue to choose the victims and favor the victims of genocide and ethnic cleansing
00:16:43.500 who happen to be Christian?
00:16:45.480 And Trudeau said absolutely not.
00:16:46.980 Here, take a look.
00:16:48.080 Good morning, Mr. Trudeau.
00:16:48.900 I wanted to start by asking you about the Conservatives' policy of prioritizing ethnic
00:16:53.700 and religious minorities when bringing in refugees.
00:16:56.200 Is that something that would continue if the Liberals were elected?
00:17:01.300 As we gather this weekend with our families over Thanksgiving
00:17:05.220 and talk about the kind of country we have and the kind of country we want,
00:17:10.280 I think we need to think about families across the oceans
00:17:16.100 who've been desperately seeking to build a better life for themselves and for their kids,
00:17:21.460 who've gathered all their worldly belongings on their backs, in plastic bags,
00:17:27.440 gathered their kids around them,
00:17:30.120 and hope that maybe somewhere there is a place where they can build a better life.
00:17:35.940 And to know that somewhere in the Prime Minister's office staffers were pouring through their personal files
00:17:46.200 to try and see whether these families or find out which families would be suitable
00:17:52.540 for a photo op for the Prime Minister's re-election campaign?
00:17:59.680 That's disgusting.
00:18:06.180 That's not the Canada we want.
00:18:10.140 That's not the Canada we need to build.
00:18:12.780 Barbara, that is not passive. 0.78
00:18:15.700 That's not an accident.
00:18:16.540 He deliberately said he will not show favor between the wolves and the lambs.
00:18:23.000 You know, thank you.
00:18:24.320 Yeah, thank you for reminding me about that.
00:18:26.120 That's really dreadful.
00:18:29.280 And it makes it all the more hypocritical in the light of the fact
00:18:32.340 that he just recently apologized for the government,
00:18:36.660 previous government's treatment of the Jews on the St. Louis.
00:18:39.780 We remember when they were trying to flee the Nazis and find a safe refuge,
00:18:43.940 and countries kept turning them away, including Canada.
00:18:47.280 So, effectively, effectively, the Yazidis, they're in a camp, 0.88
00:18:52.500 but they might as well be on a ship looking for a home.
00:18:55.220 And he's effectively saying, sorry, not here.
00:18:58.420 We're only interested in Muslim refugees, not you. 1.00
00:19:02.900 I find that, well, you know what I think.
00:19:07.900 Yeah, well, I mean, it would be like there were two ships,
00:19:10.900 one full of Nazis and one full of Jews. 0.58
00:19:14.480 I mean, you want to distinguish.
00:19:15.960 You want to say, well, we don't want Nazis.
00:19:17.860 We want the ones the Nazis are killing.
00:19:20.540 But bizarrely and weirdly, Trudeau deliberately said no
00:19:24.500 only to the private Christian refugees.
00:19:26.460 And what's interesting is Trudeau did grudgingly accept
00:19:32.020 that it is a genocide against Yazidis.
00:19:35.640 He finally, under pressure from the conservatives,
00:19:38.740 conceded it's a genocide against Yazidis.
00:19:42.040 But he would not acknowledge that there's a genocide against Christian Arabs.
00:19:47.440 And that, to me, is odious.
00:19:49.960 Because I've seen it with my own eyes.
00:19:52.060 I've seen the Christians in Iraq.
00:19:54.440 And, of course, we see what happens in Egypt.
00:19:56.280 There's something foul.
00:19:58.120 And no one's calling out this government,
00:19:59.860 not even the conservative party.
00:20:02.080 I've got to say this, Barbara.
00:20:02.900 I'd love your reaction to this.
00:20:04.380 Michelle Rempel, the conservative immigration critic,
00:20:07.460 has championed Yazidis.
00:20:09.160 Yes, she has.
00:20:10.380 But she has not emphasized the Christians who have been attacked.
00:20:15.780 And she has not dared to point out,
00:20:18.340 why are you bringing in 50,000 Muslim refugees?
00:20:22.760 There's no genocide of Muslims.
00:20:24.860 There's no ethnic cleansing of Muslims.
00:20:28.100 I think Michelle Rempel is timid. 0.86
00:20:31.340 I think maybe you're right.
00:20:33.100 And I agree that that is really not acceptable at all.
00:20:37.280 The thing about the Muslim refugees is 1.00
00:20:39.640 they're sitting in a place surrounded
00:20:42.040 by hundreds of millions of their religious brethren.
00:20:46.580 And why they have to come to Canada
00:20:48.900 when the Arab countries around, 0.94
00:20:52.460 some of them are taking none whatsoever,
00:20:54.240 let the UN pressure them.
00:20:56.660 By the way, I think the only reason that Trudeau did admit
00:20:59.620 that the Yazidis were subject to genocide
00:21:01.640 is because the United Nations had already said
00:21:05.740 that they meet the criteria.
00:21:08.040 What's happening to them meets the criteria
00:21:09.680 for the Geneva Convention on genocide.
00:21:13.360 So he really didn't have much of a choice on that.
00:21:15.400 But seriously, why do the refugees 1.00
00:21:19.660 that are probably going to go back home eventually,
00:21:22.380 why are they coming so far away
00:21:24.400 when they will have a choice sooner or later?
00:21:27.420 So many questions, so few answers.
00:21:30.420 Yeah, the answers and the fact that Omar al-Jabra,
00:21:33.200 former head of the Canadian Arab Federation,
00:21:35.880 who supports Hezbollah and Hamas,
00:21:37.740 literally called for their legalization.
00:21:39.700 The Canadian Arab Federation called for the legalization
00:21:42.820 of Hezbollah and Hamas.
00:21:45.180 He's now in charge of our consulates,
00:21:46.980 which is one of the intake points for refugees.
00:21:50.360 Here's an image.
00:21:51.220 I know you've seen this one before.
00:21:52.920 It's a massive tent city in Saudi Arabia,
00:21:57.080 air-conditioned, used for the Hajj pilgrimage.
00:22:01.580 Saudi Arabia, Qatar, those rich OPEC Gulf states,
00:22:05.340 they could take their co-religionists,
00:22:08.740 but they're not crazy, Barbara.
00:22:11.260 They don't want people from a terrorist hotspot.
00:22:13.680 They don't want to have to vet
00:22:15.820 to choose between the ISIS terrorist
00:22:18.260 and someone who just looks like one.
00:22:20.600 They're not dumb.
00:22:22.560 What a depressing, depressing place we're in.
00:22:25.400 And I just don't see either voices in the mainstream media
00:22:30.400 or even voices in mainstream conservatism daring to speak out
00:22:34.700 for fear of being called an Islamophobe.
00:22:37.160 Last word to you.
00:22:37.820 I suppose you write for the National Post,
00:22:40.200 so I must acknowledge that the Post allows you the forum.
00:22:44.700 God willing, they will continue to do so.
00:22:46.840 Candace Malcolm in the Toronto Sun.
00:22:49.040 But you can count on one hand the media voices
00:22:52.300 or political voices in this country
00:22:53.840 that speak truth about these things.
00:22:55.760 Last word to you.
00:22:56.480 Thank you for having me on about this.
00:22:59.440 I want to use that last word to thank you, Ezra,
00:23:02.480 because I know you have a tremendous following
00:23:04.820 and I know you have hundreds of thousands,
00:23:07.440 if not millions of viewers.
00:23:08.820 I think this is such an important issue.
00:23:11.640 I wish Canadians would go to find the website
00:23:16.140 of the Yazidi Human Rights Foundation,
00:23:20.080 educate themselves, indicate their support.
00:23:22.780 You know, I think education is very important
00:23:25.760 and we need a critical mass of people
00:23:27.600 demanding that the government take action on this file.
00:23:30.720 And I really appreciate you giving me the time
00:23:32.680 to talk about this.
00:23:33.860 Well, you're so welcome.
00:23:34.880 I'm not sure if we have millions of supporters,
00:23:37.020 but I know we have hundreds of thousands.
00:23:38.780 And I'm glad you're reaching hundreds of thousands
00:23:40.860 also in the National Post.
00:23:42.280 So I wish you strength.
00:23:43.800 And I'm so, and I would recommend,
00:23:45.260 let me read the headline again one more time
00:23:47.300 for folks who didn't catch it.
00:23:49.480 It's an article in the National Post.
00:23:51.460 It's just chilling.
00:23:52.480 It's about Nada, not her real name,
00:23:55.000 a Yazidi rape slave in London, Ontario,
00:23:57.040 who saw her rapist captor on the bus.
00:24:00.600 The story is called
00:24:01.160 The Yazidis Are in Danger of Extinction
00:24:03.320 and Ottawa stopped helping.
00:24:05.200 The sub-headline, Nada Survived Sexual Slavery
00:24:07.320 at the Hands of ISIL.
00:24:08.780 Recently in Ontario,
00:24:10.440 she recognized the man who'd enslaved her in Iraq.
00:24:12.820 What's he doing here?
00:24:14.240 Just must read journalism.
00:24:15.700 Thank you, Barbara, and good luck out there.
00:24:18.020 Thank you, and have a great trip.
00:24:19.800 Thanks very much.
00:24:21.160 All right, folks, more ahead.
00:24:23.400 Stay with us.
00:24:41.580 Well, that's my special long-form interview
00:24:43.760 with Barbara Kay.
00:24:44.640 She is so brave,
00:24:45.580 and I'm glad that she's able to write these things,
00:24:47.900 at least for now, in the National Post.
00:24:49.900 She's a fighter. 1.00
00:24:51.000 Hey, I'm pre-recording this
00:24:52.620 because I'm actually in Israel today
00:24:54.760 with the rebel Israel,
00:24:56.980 but I want you to see a clip
00:24:59.340 that we filmed today.
00:25:01.460 Take a look at this.
00:25:03.020 It's our first night here in Israel.
00:25:04.880 Actually, I'm along the beach in Tel Aviv,
00:25:07.120 and I want to talk to you about fake news
00:25:09.820 because Israel is where fake news 0.59
00:25:13.300 was first incubated as an idea,
00:25:15.540 where it was first workshopped
00:25:16.960 and where it was first perfected,
00:25:19.340 and we're seeing it play out right now
00:25:21.080 in the Western world.
00:25:22.240 When we see those images
00:25:23.640 of children in cages
00:25:25.720 being used to attack the Trump administration,
00:25:28.320 even though they were put in cages in 2014,
00:25:31.320 or when we see Time magazine run a cover
00:25:33.960 of a crying little girl
00:25:35.480 supposedly separated from her mother at the border,
00:25:38.980 but she wasn't,
00:25:40.680 those images and that strategy
00:25:42.860 to attack an administration on an issue,
00:25:45.280 well, that was perfected right here in Israel.
00:25:48.020 In fact, there's a cottage industry built around it.
00:25:50.440 It's called Pallywood,
00:25:52.000 a play on the word Hollywood,
00:25:53.340 and it's the production of propaganda
00:25:56.940 and propaganda images
00:25:58.420 to bolster Hamas
00:26:00.440 and attack the Israelis 0.98
00:26:01.860 and the Israeli government
00:26:03.100 to portray them as heavy-handed
00:26:05.760 or malicious or violent
00:26:08.160 towards the Palestinians.
00:26:09.860 And this week,
00:26:10.600 I'm going to show you
00:26:11.540 that that's just not true.
00:26:14.120 For TheRebel.media,
00:26:15.500 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:26:17.000 That's our show for tonight.
00:26:18.120 On behalf of all of us here
00:26:19.100 at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:26:20.280 goodnight,
00:26:21.140 and keep fighting for freedom.
00:26:23.340 We'll see you next time.
