00:00:16.000Obviously, big events happening in the Middle East.
00:00:18.000A lot of talk about Iran's intervention in the Middle East process, which has been facilitated by, you know, us flying pallets of cash over to the Iranian regime.
00:00:25.000Don't worry, we'll get to all of it first.
00:00:27.000No one really has time to go to the post office.
00:00:49.000Whether you're a small office sending invoices, an online seller shipping out products, or even a warehouse sending thousands of packages a day, Stamps.com can handle it all with ease.

00:01:45.000Alrighty, so over the weekend, we got a fulsome display of what antisemitism looks like.
00:01:51.000So it's been really interesting to watch as various political players manipulate the issue of antisemitism so as to defend certain parties and not to defend certain parties.
00:02:16.000There are people on the left, the far left, anti-Semites, who suggest that Israel and the Jews are behind all world events, and that's why they're so successful.
00:02:25.000They stand at the top of the hierarchy of power.
00:02:27.000This tends to merge very well with certain intersectional notions of politics, and that is why you see the far left making common cause with the third type of anti-Semites.
00:02:35.000This would be radical Islamist anti-Semitism.
00:02:37.000Unfortunately, a very popular view among Muslims in major countries across the world Polls show this.
00:02:46.000This is not a rip on Islam as a religion.
00:02:48.000This is a rip on how many, many Muslims are practicing Islam as a religion.
00:02:52.000But the fact is that there is a radical Islamist anti-Semitism that is dominant in the Gaza Strip.
00:02:58.000It is dominant in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank.
00:03:00.000It is dominant in Saudi Arabia and Egypt and Pakistan and Afghanistan and Iraq and Iran.
00:03:06.000All these in Turkey, all of these places, all of these places, anti-Semitism is not just something that is is looked upon with some sort of.
00:03:26.000What do we here in the West do about anti-Semitism?
00:03:28.000So if you are on the left, you've had a tendency to overlook leftist anti-Semitism, to pretend that it doesn't exist.
00:03:34.000I've seen it from some people on the right who try to minimize the threat of white supremacist anti-Semitism.
00:03:39.000They look at the white supremacists, they say, this is a small number of people, so why am I worried about it?
00:03:43.000And the answer is, you're worried about it because anti-Semitism, of any sort, is truly evil.
00:03:47.000And these anti-Semites are likely to shoot up mosques, they're likely to shoot up shuls, because very often they're not just anti-Semites, they're also people who hate Muslims as Muslims and want to shoot up mosques, which is why you've seen white supremacists doing just that over the past month.
00:04:01.000Left-wing anti-Semites will overlook the entirety of left-wing anti-Semitism.
00:04:06.000They will pretend instead that it is anti-Zionism.
00:04:09.000So, over the weekend, over the last four days, what you've seen is Hamas, an actual terrorist group, an evil, evil terrorist group, firing hundreds of rockets into civilian areas in Israel.
00:04:23.000The Hamas charter explicitly calls for the destruction of the state of Israel.
00:04:27.000And they call for the death of Jews outside of Israel as well.
00:04:30.000The Hamas Covenant is not a document of peace.
00:04:35.000It is obviously a document of war and anti-Semitism and evil.
00:04:39.000Hamas is a State Department-labeled terrorist group because Hamas is an evil, evil group.
00:04:45.000The Daily Caller has a piece from a couple of years ago by Jamie Weinstein over there talking about things you need to know about Hamas.
00:04:52.000They quote Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna in their charter saying, quote, Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.
00:05:02.000Hamas' charter doesn't just stop at Israel.
00:05:04.000Hamas' charter says, quote, the prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said, the day of judgment will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, killing the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees.
00:05:14.000The stones and trees will say, oh, Muslims, oh, Abdullah, there's a Jew behind me.
00:05:20.000The international community might like the peace process, but their charter says initiatives and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic resistance movement.
00:05:31.000This organization also participates in conspiracy theories about Jews.
00:05:35.000They say there is no war going on anywhere without Jews having their finger in it.
00:05:40.000They say the Jews were behind the French Revolution, the Communist Revolution, and most of the revolutions we hear, heard, and hear about here and there.
00:05:46.000With their money, they formed secret societies.
00:05:49.000And it's Hamas that is firing hundreds of rockets into Israel.
00:05:52.000With their money, they formed secret societies such as the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, the Lions, and others in different parts of the world for the purpose of sabotaging societies and achieving Zionist interests.
00:06:01.000So radical Islamist anti-Semitism suggests that Jews are the nefarious powers behind everything.
00:06:07.000And you'll notice also that what they start doing is they start conflating Jews and Zionists.
00:06:10.000And this is how the left grants cover to radical Islamists, as we will see.
00:06:14.000The left simply suggests that they're not anti-Jewish, they're just anti-Zionist.
00:06:18.000So, sure, they want to wipe six million Jews off the planet, again.
00:06:21.000Sure, they want to destroy the only collective, the biggest and most powerful collective body of Jews on planet Earth, but that's just an anti-Zionist thing, guys.
00:06:28.000That has nothing to do with wanting to slaughter Jews.
00:06:30.000They also say in the Hamas charter that the Jews control the media.
00:06:34.000They say that the only solution is jihad, meaning violent jihad, not internal struggle, guys.
00:06:40.000Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:06:42.000They say that they are in favor of death for the sake of Allah.
00:06:46.000Hamas, of course, accuses Israel of being Nazi.
00:06:49.000They say that the Jews make no exception for women or children.
00:06:52.000And then they say the Zionist Nazi activities against our people will not last for long.
00:06:59.000So here is a map of what it looked like as the rockets fell across Israel over the weekend.
00:07:04.000Every one of these, if you can see this, every one of these red dots Every one of these red pinpoints is a rocket falling.
00:07:12.000Basically, it's all of southern Israel.
00:07:13.000It's everything from Sderot to Ashtod to Ashkelon, everything to Be'er Sheva, everything across southern Israel and central Israel is within the ambit of these Hamas rockets.
00:07:26.000And Hamas is deliberately firing them into civilian areas, and they're very excited about firing them into civilian areas.
00:07:31.000And for those who don't know what rocket fire looks like, here is some footage.
00:07:37.000Hamas is being funded by Iran, so they have new, more sophisticated weaponry.
00:07:41.000Many of these rockets are unguided, but a few of them are in fact guided.
00:07:45.000And here is what it looks like when your country, imagine your city here in the United States, is being fired on by hundreds of rockets from just across the border.
00:08:07.000How do we know we don't care where those land?
00:08:09.000Because one of these rockets, some of these rockets historically have fallen short and fallen into Palestinian areas.
00:08:15.000Over the weekend, a Palestinian pregnant mother and a baby The media immediately jumped to blame the Jews because they buy every aspect of Palestinian propaganda, because if you're covering the Palestinians in Gaza Strip, the only way they allow you in is if you use their propaganda.
00:08:34.000They suggest that people who are killed are civilians rather than members of Hamas or members of Islamic Jihad, another evil terrorist group that works with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and that together with Hamas forms a unity government with the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
00:08:48.000So these so they don't care about any of they don't care about their own citizens.
00:08:52.000If they cared about their own citizens, they wouldn't be spending tens of millions of dollars building terror tunnels in order to fight the Israelis, as opposed to, you know, building up the area that Israel left in 2005.
00:09:01.000This is part of the background that people also need to know.
00:09:04.000OK, this part of Israel, OK, Gaza Strip is not controlled by the Israelis.
00:09:10.000The Gaza Strip was completely pulled out from by the Israelis in 2005.
00:09:14.000So any talk you hear of people talking about the so-called occupation of the Gaza Strip, there are no Jews in the Gaza Strip.
00:09:21.000In 2005, Ariel Sharon, then the prime minister of Israel, decided he didn't want to use Israeli forces to maintain a small Jewish community in what was called Gush Katif.
00:09:30.000And so they forcibly evacuated those Jews.
00:09:33.000Meaning Jews took other Jews out of the Gaza Strip.
00:09:36.000They handed over all their resources to the Palestinian Authority.
00:09:39.000The Palestinian Authority then proceeded to burn down all of those areas.
00:09:50.000They handed all of that over to the Palestinian Authority and the authorities then burned those to the ground.
00:09:54.000There hasn't been a Jew living in the Gaza Strip for 14 years.
00:09:59.000And yet this is still considered quote unquote occupation.
00:10:01.000By the way, in the aftermath of Israel pulling out of the Gaza Strip, supposedly in order to jumpstart a peace process to create a separation that would make Israel safer, the Palestinians immediately elected not the Palestinian authority that Israel had handed over The Gaza Strip, too.
00:10:16.000They immediately elected Hamas, an open terrorist group.
00:10:18.000The Palestinian Authority is a terrorist group, too.
00:10:20.000They've just hidden it better for a while.
00:10:21.000And they're originally headed by Yasser Arafat.
00:10:23.000The Fatah Charter still calls for the extermination of the state of Israel.
00:10:26.000They've never actually publicly agreed that Israel has a right to exist.
00:10:32.000They've called for a two-state solution, but every time Israel has offered one, they've rejected it.
00:10:36.000Israel pulled out of this territory, and then this territory has been used as a staging point to fire rockets at civilians in Israel.
00:10:47.000So, all these rockets are being fired at Israel, and Israel has something called the Iron Dome.
00:10:50.000The Iron Dome system is a system that's been stationed in many of Israel's major cities, and it allows them to shoot down these short-range rockets.
00:10:57.000Here is what that looks like when it's happening.
00:11:00.000So you can see these puffs of black smoke in the air.
00:11:04.000Okay, the puffs of black smoke in the air, that would be the Iron Dome knocking down the rockets.
00:11:10.000Now, it'd be important to mention here that one particular presidential candidate in the Democratic Party voted against even funding Israel's Iron Dome.
00:11:18.000Beto O'Rourke was one of eight congresspeople who voted against giving Israel the ability to shoot down rockets fired at its civilian areas, which shows you where Beto O'Rourke and many members of the Democratic Party are.
00:11:29.000Now, in a second, I'm going to show you the impact of all of this, because there are four people who are dead in Israel, Three Jews and a Bedouin.
00:11:36.000And this, I mean, no country, no country would allow this sort of thing.
00:11:56.000Because after Al Qaeda knocked down two of our buildings in New York, we took down two countries.
00:12:02.000Okay, we went and we knocked out Afghanistan, we took down the Taliban, we invaded them, and we stayed there for near on 20 years.
00:12:08.000And then, in order to prevent another 9-11, this was the actual mission, we went into Iraq as well.
00:12:13.000So, the United States doesn't tolerate this kind of crap, which is why we live a safe and secure life here.
00:12:17.000Israel is expected to tolerate this sort of evil, specifically because the world doesn't care if Jews get killed, so long as those Jews are being killed by certain people.
00:12:27.000And this is where the anti-Semitism question comes in.
00:12:29.000If you're only taking seriously one type of anti-Semitism, I don't want to hear crocodile tears about other types of anti-Semitism.
00:12:35.000If you only care when a Jew gets killed at the Pittsburgh Tree of Life by a white supremacist, but you don't care when a Jew gets punched in Williamsburg by a minority, or you don't care if a Jew is killed by a falling rocket in a civilian area in Israel, spare me your crocodile tears about anti-Semitism.
00:12:54.000First, let's talk about how you make your neighborhood safer.
00:12:57.000Ring's mission is to make neighborhoods safer.
00:12:59.000You might already know about their smart video doorbells and cameras that protect millions of people everywhere.
00:13:03.000Ring helps you stay connected to your home anywhere in the world.
00:13:05.000So, if there's a package delivery or a surprise visitor, you'll get an alert, you'll be able to see, hear, and speak to them all from your phone.
00:13:11.000That's thanks to HD video and two-way audio features on Ring devices.
00:13:16.000I've had Ring devices at my house for years at this point, and since I obviously I'm very much invested in personal security and the security of my home.
00:13:30.000As a listener, you have a special offer on a Ring Starter Kit available right now.
00:13:33.000With a video doorbell and motion-activated floodlight cam, the Starter Kit has everything you need to start building a Ring of security around your home.
00:15:35.000In a second, I'm going to show you what it's like to move, why all anti-Semitism is basically of a piece, and why it should be treated as a piece.
00:15:43.000So, as I say, the same anti-Semites who want to kill Jews in Europe Don't care about Jews getting killed in Israel.
00:15:51.000The same anti-Semites who pretend to care about white supremacist killings at the Tree of Life synagogue will defend Jews being murdered in their beds in Israel.
00:16:00.000So long as the cause is just, according to some anti-Semites, Jewish blood is cheap.
00:16:05.000And so this leads to horrific and sad situations like this is this is a video of a Dutch woman This Dutch family moved from Rotterdam to Nahal Az.
00:16:17.000They moved away from the Netherlands because of the rise of anti-semitism in the Netherlands.
00:16:21.000Rise in hate crimes, many of those hate crimes committed by radical Muslims.
00:16:25.000They moved instead to Nahal Az, which is in the south of Israel.
00:16:29.000Yesterday their house was destroyed by a Palestinian terror rocket.
00:16:32.000Watch this video and watch all the way to the end.
00:17:50.000What touched all of this off is that Hamas terrorists were working with quote-unquote protest groups on the Israeli border to shoot Israeli soldiers.
00:17:57.000Israel retaliated by killing some Hamas terrorists.
00:17:59.000And within days, they were firing hundreds of rockets into the center of Israel.
00:18:02.000But here's an example of what Israel did.
00:18:04.000So Israel knocked out a Hamas financier, a Gazan terrorist, the IDF released a photo of his burned out car.
00:18:13.000It said, we just targeted Hamad Abdelkoudari, a Gazan terrorist responsible for transferring Iranian funds to Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, helping fund their rocket-fired Israelis.
00:18:22.000Transferring Iranian money to Hamas and the PIJ doesn't make you a businessman, it makes you a terrorist.
00:18:27.000And so they specifically targeted this particular guy in his car.
00:18:35.000And the reason that Israel has not been harsher in dealing with Hamas is specifically because Hamas knows, they know for a fact, that if they put all of their weaponry in civilian areas, that Israel is less likely to hit them.
00:18:46.000Because Israel has a rule called Taharat Haneshech, meaning purity of arms, that says that you are specifically, Israel is more humane than any country's military on planet Earth, with the possible exception of the American military, and maybe even not that, just because the American military doesn't have to deal with this on America's borders.
00:19:03.000Israel goes out of its way only to kill terrorists.
00:19:07.000And conversely, terrorists specifically use civilian areas as shields.
00:19:10.000So, for example, here's a picture of where Hamas has placed one of their rocket launchers.
00:19:15.000If you can see this picture, what you will see is that the rocket launcher is placed at the top of a mosque in a minaret.
00:19:21.000And Israel has been hesitant to hit it.
00:19:25.000Islamic Jihad uses mosques as command and control centers.
00:19:29.000The IDF said Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group in Gaza, was using a mosque in al-Shati, a densely populated area, as a command and control center.
00:19:37.000Terrorists in Gaza use places of worship for military purposes.
00:19:40.000We targeted the command and control center last night.
00:19:44.000The Hamas headquarters during the last Gaza war was beneath a hospital because they know that Israel will not hit the hospital because they don't want to kill innocent people.
00:19:55.000Anyone who tries to draw a moral equivalence between the Israelis, who are desperately attempting not to kill Palestinian civilians, and the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, and the people who side with them and voted for them, who are eager to fire rockets into the center of civilian areas, and who won't even protect Palestinian civilians, who deliberately put Palestinian civilians in harm's way, who hide behind their own civilians because they don't want to be killed because they're cowards,
00:20:19.000Anybody who draws that moral equivalence between the Israelis, who have not only handed over without any preconditions the Gaza Strip to the control of the Palestinians, but also have made repeated concessions in terms of territory to the Palestinians over and over and over, who Ehud Elmer in 2008 offered fully 96% of all land in Judea and Samaria in the West Bank, most of which is historic Israel, Offered 96% and the other 4% would be land swaps.
00:20:47.000So the Palestinians would receive 100% of land as well as connections between Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip, as well as East Jerusalem as the capital of a new Palestinian state.
00:20:58.000And Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the Palestinian Authority, walked away from the table without a counteroffer.
00:21:03.000And that was only the second offer in the last several years.
00:21:07.000Israel has repeatedly made concessions from Oslo to the White River Accords to 2000 when Ehud Barak offered to walk... Ehud Barak offered everything.
00:21:17.000And even the Clinton administration didn't understand why Yasser Arafat walked away.
00:21:23.000Anybody who tries to draw moral equivalence between a group that openly... I mean, they're not hiding the ball here, Hamas.
00:21:28.000They openly state they want to kill as many Jews as possible, that the Koran calls for them to do so, and that they want Israel destroyed root and branch.
00:21:35.000Anybody who suggests that their genocidal, anti-Jewish, Nazi-esque treatment of Jews is equivalent with Israel's specific, targeted attempts to kill specific terrorists in defense of their own citizenry, Is morally insane.
00:21:49.000And yet what you have seen is this moral insanity that has conquered the left.
00:22:04.000I mean, isn't that an unbelievable statement?
00:22:06.000So you have an American Democratic ally under attack with hundreds of rockets, hundreds of rockets aimed at civilian areas within days, and not one Democratic presidential candidate has spoken out about it.
00:22:36.000This is do you have the moral courage to recognize what the Democratic Party is becoming?
00:22:41.000Not one comment from a single Democratic candidate as a Democratic ally as Israel is put under attack by hundreds of rockets from an openly stated anti-Semitic terror group?
00:22:50.000And then I'm supposed to believe you guys when you are shedding crocodile tears over Chabad of Poway or over the Tree of Life synagogue?
00:22:57.000I'm supposed to believe the New York Times when the New York Times sheds those crocodile tears at the same time that it refuses to take sides against Hamas?
00:23:06.000Yeah, you can all go do something unprintable to yourselves.
00:23:11.000In a second, I'm going to show you how the left has done this.
00:23:14.000But first, for a few weeks now, I've been reminding you Mother's Day is fast approaching.
00:23:18.000It's just days away now, so I don't know what you've been doing.
00:23:20.0001-800-Flowers is here to help you pick out a gorgeous bouquet that will show her that she's loved.
00:23:24.000Right now, when you order a dozen multicolored roses for just $29.99, 1-800-Flowers will give you another dozen, plus a vase, absolutely free.
00:24:28.000Okay, so as I say, I've been sort of darkly hinting that the left has supported Hamas through this.
00:24:32.000As I say, not a single democratic presidential candidate has even commented on this.
00:24:38.000Can you imagine if England were under attack, the UK were under attack by a terrorist group, by Al-Qaeda, firing 700 rockets into the heart of London?
00:24:47.000Do you think that any of those democratic presidential candidates would be silent?
00:24:52.000There's something different about the Jews.
00:24:53.000There's something different about this conflict.
00:24:56.000And the attempt to portray an attack on Jewish civilians by a terrorist group that calls for the wiping out of Jews all over the planet as anything but anti-Semitism demonstrates how leftist anti-Semitism makes common cause with radical Islamist anti-Semitism.
00:25:09.000And again, I don't want to hear your crocodile tears about Jews getting shot in synagogues by white supremacists when you don't give a damn if Jews get shot in synagogues by Muslim terrorists.
00:25:39.000I remember a few years back, I was on Fox News, and they had on somebody, I believe from CAIR, from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial.
00:25:49.000The Holy Land Foundation was basically a front group for Hamas, raising money for Hamas and Hezbollah, among other terrorist groups, allegedly.
00:25:56.000And this spokesperson for CAIR was sitting there.
00:26:09.000Like, I'm happy to condemn anybody who's evil, but there is a whole group of people who won't.
00:26:14.000And those people include people like Linda Sarsour, who you will recall introduced Senator Kirsten Gillibrand at a rally, is a well-respected member of the hardcore left, a head of the Women's March, a friend to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, those morally despicable freshman leaders in the House.
00:26:34.000Linda Sarsour wrote, I am trained in Kingian nonviolence, which is hilarious since she has campaigned with Razmia Oda, a convicted terrorist.
00:26:42.000She says, I choose nonviolence as a powerful means to change, but I don't have to choose or justify violence to understand where it comes from when oppressed people see no way out.
00:26:51.000We have to be critical thinkers, advocate, and present solutions.
00:26:54.000Hey, that would be her making excuses for Hamas terrorists because Linda Sarsour doesn't care about terrorism so long as it is directed at Jews.
00:27:21.000Also, if you want to be free, maybe you should get rid of the Hamas regime that is oppressing its own people and spending tens of millions of dollars on weaponry to fight Israelis across the border when they have complete domestic control inside the Gaza Strip.
00:27:48.000But if you're going to accuse other people of dual loyalty, Lady, you might want to take a look in the mirror if that's the kind of phraseology that you're happy using.
00:27:56.000She has headlines like this, and framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel, who unjustly oppress and target Palestinian children and families.
00:28:05.000Israel unjustly targets Palestinian children and families?
00:28:08.000This is happening in the middle of a Hamas firestorm directed at kindergartens, directed at ambulances, directed at families and homes.
00:28:18.000And she is saying, oh yeah, this is Israel's fault.
00:28:20.000She's a terrorist apologist, Rashida Tlaib.
00:28:22.000And she's a damned anti-Semite as well.
00:28:26.000It is incredible that she's able to get away with this, and not only get away with this, that the Democratic Party will continue to ignore it.
00:28:30.000These are the same idiots and moral reprobates who wouldn't even pass an anti-Semitism resolution naming Ilhan Omar.
00:28:37.000They had to broaden it out to include all forms of hate.
00:28:39.000Because they understand that if they condemn anti-Semitism, they are condemning the members of their own party.
00:28:45.000It's not just Rashida Tlaib, it's Ilhan Omar, who herself, when I say she's a terrorist apologist, I mean she actively wrote a letter to a judge in 2016 asking that ISIS recruits be given a lighter sentence because they were marginalized communities in the United States.
00:29:00.000I'm talking about a lady who in 2013, in an interview, laughed at the idea that Al Qaeda and Hezbollah were scary and bad.
00:29:09.000So here's what she tweeted out in the middle of all of this.
00:29:16.000Hey, the people who were shot by the Israelis were not protesters.
00:29:22.000They are there, embedded among protesters and firing at Israeli soldiers.
00:29:26.000Two Israeli soldiers were severely wounded and Israel fired back on people who were shooting at them.
00:29:41.000I don't know, why don't you ask the Fogel family, a family living in Israel who were slaughtered in their beds by terrorists, and those terrorists were then, were then, their families were rewarded by the Palestinian Authority and streets were named after the terrorists who murdered, I kid you not, toddlers in their beds.
00:30:10.000There is no occupation in the Gaza Strip.
00:30:13.000The only thing that Israel does is prevent transportation from Israel to the Gaza Strip.
00:30:17.000And the only reason they do that is because Hamas controls the Gaza Strip and has been using those transportation borders as a way to attack Israelis.
00:30:31.000What they will do is they will point to the far-left Jews who have no association with Judaism other than to use it as a cover for their own anti-Israel activity and willingness to cover for anti-Semitism.
00:30:44.000This would include supposed Rabbi Jill Jacobs, who's a rabbi like I'm an NBA player.
00:30:50.000She's a rabbi like Bernie Sanders is a capitalist.
00:30:52.000Rabbi Jill Jacobs, who knows less about Judaism than the average dog owned by a Jew.
00:31:00.000It's comparing her level of knowledge to that of a non-sentient being.
00:31:04.000Rabbi Jill Jacobs writes, came out of Shabbat to more news of needless loss of life, praying for the families of the Israelis and the Palestinians killed today and for political leadership with the courage to seek political, not military solutions.
00:31:51.000The only reason that Hamas continues to function in the Gaza Strip is because Israel is afraid that if they knock out Hamas there will be no one to pick up the garbage.
00:32:00.000IfNotNow says, the indifference of Israelis, Americans, Jews, and non-Jews alike to this is appalling.
00:32:05.000The fact that you're making an excuse for a terrorist group.
00:32:32.000There's a tape of kids in Philadelphia and this tape of kids in Philadelphia chanting in Arabic about taking back Al-Aqsa.
00:32:41.000This would be the Temple Mount, the holiest spot in Judaism.
00:32:46.000By the way, Israel has given up control of the Temple Mount effectively to the Islamic Waqf, which is why if you're a Jew, you can't go up there and say a pittal of Tehillim.
00:32:57.000You can't actually go up there and say a psalm.
00:32:59.000If you say a psalm on the Temple Mount, you could get arrested if you're a Jew.
00:33:02.000If you're a Muslim, you just go to mosque there.
00:33:03.000In any case, here are a bunch of Muslim kids in the United States funded by the Muslim American Society.
00:33:09.000And these kids are chanting, rebels, rebels, rebels, chop off their heads.
00:33:14.000In Philadelphia, in Philadelphia, in the United States.
00:33:17.000Glorious steeds call us and lead us on to paths leading to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
00:34:19.000Were there any questions asked about how the Muslim American Society funded this particular school or what they're doing to prevent this sort of indoctrination?
00:34:27.000Was there any question about, you know, maybe looking into some of the other schools funded by the Muslim American Society to see what else they are teaching, which textbooks they are using, if they are funded by Wahhabists who are pushing a certain agenda?
00:34:38.000No, of course, we're not allowed to ask those questions.
00:34:45.000If you ignore anti-Semitism being preached to eight-year-olds, those kids are maybe six, maybe seven, maybe eight years old, in this video, in the United States, you don't care about that because the only sort of anti-Semitism you care about is the white supremacists?
00:34:58.000Then you don't care about anti-Semitism.
00:34:59.000What you really care about is using anti-Semitism as a political tool to attack your political opponents.
00:35:04.000In which case, I have no interest in your opinions about antisemitism, or frankly about anything else, because this is not just a question of Jew hatred, it's a question of basic morality.
00:35:13.000If you can't condemn one type of antisemitism because you're too politically invested in the outcome, then you're a bad person.

00:37:42.000"We are the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast "and radio show in the nation." So as I say, there is a tendency on the part of many on the left to pretend that what is happening in Israel is not actually happening in Israel, that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, that wanting to destroy the that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, that wanting to destroy the state of Israel and kill every civilian inside it, that really, it's not Jew hatred.
00:38:08.000It's just a political difference, really.
00:38:10.000It's just a political difference that people are having.
00:38:12.000And if anti-Semitism comes from the left side of the aisle, it's not anti-Semitism at all.
00:38:17.000It's just political differences within Netanyahu government.
00:38:20.000Weird, because I saw the same sort of coverage when it was Ehud Olmert, who's on the left, when it was Ehud Barak, who's on the left.
00:38:30.000But as I say, there are folks on the left who are more than willing to overlook anti-Semitism, so long as that anti-Semitism is coming from radical Islamists, because in the intersectional worldview of the left, Muslims are more victimized than Jews, and Jews are more successful than Muslims, and therefore Jews must have victimized Muslims, and therefore anti-Semitism directed at Jews, by Muslims, by radical Islamists, That sort of anti-Semitism is justified on intersectional grounds.
00:38:54.000And then you've got people on the left who say, well, you know, if we're anti-Israel and we decide to print something openly anti-Semitic, you're going to have to forgive us.
00:39:03.000Here's Irene Carmen, who's a CNN contributor.
00:39:06.000Explaining on CNN's reliable sources that we're all paying too much attention to the New York Times' cartoon.
00:39:12.000You know that openly anti-Semitic cartoon that they printed a couple of weeks ago that had the face of Benjamin Netanyahu on a dog and a Jewish star collar around his neck leading a blind Donald Trump wearing a yarmulke?
00:39:23.000A fat, blind Donald Trump wearing a yarmulke?
00:39:24.000Just why are we paying attention to that sort of stuff?
00:39:26.000Now, I know, I'm sure Irene Carmon would say exactly the same thing had it been a cartoon about, say, a Muslim leader leading President Trump around the neck.
00:39:36.000I'm sure it would have been the exact same thing, using every Muslim stereotype in the book.
00:39:39.000I'm sure that that would have been fine with Areen Karman.
00:39:41.000Here she is explaining that we're all paying too much attention to the New York Times' anti-Semitic cartoon.
00:39:49.000I'm the fourth generation of Zionists in my family.
00:39:52.000I thought that the cartoon was offensive, but I also thought that the attention paid to it was disproportionate.
00:39:58.000Beyond folks like us reporting on what happened, which is important, I also saw it kind of being cynically exploited to change the subject from the fact That for example, just over a week ago somebody took up arms and entered a synagogue in California and killed somebody.
00:40:12.000I know that a lot of people seized on this who already have an agenda because they want to discredit the New York Times.
00:40:18.000And I think the New York Times responded adequately and we need to see this in proportion.
00:40:22.000Okay, so notice how what she's doing there is directing away from the New York Times and back toward the white supremacist shooting in the Khabab Poway.
00:40:38.000Now, in a second, I want to show you a couple, I want to play for you a couple of pieces of audio that demonstrate the moral difference between one side and the other in what is happening in Israel and the endemic anti-Semitism that is happening inside the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
00:40:51.000And yet again, the media pretending, many in the media pretending that there is a moral equivalence.
00:40:55.000OK, so to ignore the moral components of what is happening in Israel right now is to blind yourself to reality.
00:41:03.000Dennis Prager, my friend, uses a quick thought experiment to illustrate the difference between the Israelis and the Palestinian leadership.
00:41:11.000And by the way, many of the Palestinian folks who voted for Hamas, they haven't had a vote in the Gaza Strip since 2006.
00:41:19.000But when they were allowed to vote, they voted for Hamas.
00:41:21.000Before that, they voted for the Palestinian Authority.
00:41:24.000I would hope that the Palestinians would now elect, seek to elect a government that was willing to make some sort of deal so all of this can come to the end.
00:41:30.000Do you think that the Israelis desperately want all of their kids to be drafted into the army, serve four years under danger of death in military uniform?
00:41:37.000Do you think that's really what they want to do?
00:41:39.000Golda Meir said this a long time ago, there will only be peace when the Palestinians love their children more than they hate ours.
00:41:49.000If you want to see the difference between the two sides, so yesterday, Million people hiding in bomb shelters, the vast majority of them Jews, in a Jewish state.
00:42:11.000I mean, frankly, this is reminiscent of many scenes from Jewish history in which Jews were trying to drive hope from some pretty hopeless and terrible circumstances.
00:42:20.000Jews driven underground in a bomb shelter.
00:42:21.000A rabbi found a couple that was supposed to be married that day.
00:42:24.000And so he just performed the wedding under a chuppah inside the bomb shelter.
00:42:30.000So that's what was happening in Israel.
00:42:40.000Here is what was happening in the Gaza Strip.
00:42:43.000So as these rockets were falling, as the rockets were falling, here is what Palestinians, many Palestinians, were doing inside the Gaza Strip.
00:44:20.000So last week was Yom HaShoah, the Holocaust Remembrance Day.
00:44:25.000And in order to understand what Israel is, I think you have to understand two videos.
00:44:30.000So number one, you have to understand the video that we showed and played a little bit earlier on in the program of the woman from the Netherlands who moved with her family from the Netherlands to Israel specifically because Europe is becoming unlivable for Jews.
00:44:43.000And so Israel has become a safe haven for many Jews who are seeking a safe place to live.
00:44:47.000The second video you have to see is this one.
00:44:53.000El Al is the Israeli national airline.
00:44:55.000And the El Al plane was flying over Germany, over Berlin.
00:44:59.000The pilot got up and announced to the plane in Hebrew that a year before he'd done this, he said that on Yom HaShoah, he tells the plane his story.
00:45:07.000His story is that all of his grandparents, all four grandparents, were slaughtered in the concentration camps by the Germans.
00:45:13.000And he said, and if my grandparents could be alive today to see a plane with a Jewish star flying over Berlin, then the then I can't imagine what they would think.
00:46:34.000Jews are significantly more likely than U.S.
00:46:37.000Christians to say that President Trump, for example, favors the Israelis too much.
00:46:40.000This has nothing to do with any sort of ethnic attachment here.
00:46:44.000If you are a moral human being, this is a moral conflict, and if you are willing to overlook anti-Semitism among one group because you are afraid that if you don't, that you will alienate your intersectional base, as the Democrats apparently are, If you're willing to do that, then you deserve whatever moral shellacking you take.
00:47:08.000As an American, as an American, it is deeply disturbing to watch many members of the public on all sides of the political aisle say that certain types of hatred are okay based on the person doing the hating.
00:47:20.000And I will say that it is far more mainstream on the left than on the right these days.
00:47:24.000And it's you think that as a conservative, this is not a politically motivated thing.
00:47:30.000I'm not saying this because I want conservatives to win.
00:47:32.000I'm saying this because I want decency to win.
00:47:35.000And if you can't condemn, if you can't have one Democratic presidential candidate come forward and say a thing about Kamala Harris, the only Democrat I've seen who said a thing is Kyrsten Sinema, the moderate senator from Arizona.
00:49:37.000Anytime you do things for the people and you stand up to the wealthy and powerful, you'll be labeled this, that, and the other thing.
00:49:46.000Wait, but this isn't labeled you and Brace.
00:49:48.000Yeah, but all of the issues that we are talking about, these are ideas that in one form or another are in fact supported by the American people.
00:49:54.000Okay, so this is him again trying to run away from the consequences of his own philosophy.
00:49:59.000The truth is that Bernie Sanders still has not condemned what is going on, really, in Venezuela.
00:50:04.000He's been effectively silent about all of that, so it is odd.
00:50:07.000If you're a socialist and you like Norway, why are you having trouble condemning Venezuela?
00:51:31.000Here's Cory Booker doing that routine.
00:51:33.000What do you say to somebody who says, yeah, I'm not crazy about Trump, but the economy has done so much better, and Republicans keep telling me the Democratic nominee is going to raise my taxes, and he is talking about raising taxes, so that might hurt the economy, that might hurt my bottom line.
00:51:51.000Look, I think that we live in a nation with far more patriotism than people are expressing.
00:51:55.000And what I mean by that is, folks want the best for their country.
00:51:58.000And they know that if your family doesn't have a great public school for your kid, if your family does not have great access to health care, then we all are suffering as a result of that, and often creating greater costs.
00:52:34.000Speaking of scary ways to go, Kamala Harris is now doing this routine.
00:52:38.000Everybody on the left is doing this routine where they kowtow to the silly idea that the Georgia gubernatorial race was actually won by Stacey Abrams.
00:52:53.000The Democrats were correct in 2016, where they said that if Donald Trump didn't accept the results of the election, it would be dangerous for the country.
00:53:00.000If we all believe that our elections are rigged, it's going to be very difficult for us to live in a democratic republic.
00:53:06.000And yet Democrats are doing this every single day on the campaign trail and doing it along racial lines, suggesting that black people are being dispossessed at the polls, which by percentage is not true at all.
00:53:15.000Black people were wildly overrepresented at the polls in both 2008 and 2012, and they've been evenly represented by percentage of the population at least since 2008.
00:53:24.000But here's Kamala Harris promoting that lie.
00:53:57.000So spare me your sanctimony about President Trump breaking our systems of government when you're suggesting that every election you lost was unjustly lost.
00:54:42.000I'm Michael Knowles, host of The Michael Knowles Show.
00:54:44.000Freshman Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar prove the age-old maxim, at bottom, all political problems are theological problems.
00:54:57.000We will examine the politics of religion, the religion of politics, from Palestinian rockets to Pennsylvania mosques and gospel hymns for the Green New Deal.
