The NXR Podcast - NXR Livestream - The Cost of War—Measured in Children

00:00:00.000 Grief seizes you when you read the names of children killed in a bomb shelter.

00:00:04.560 Yaakov Bitton was only 16 years old, his sister Abigail was 15, and his sister Sarah was only 13.

00:00:11.800 An Iranian ballistic missile collapsed their shelter in Beit Shemesh, the very place that was meant to keep them alive.

00:00:20.060 Now nothing makes that better.

00:00:22.080 These were real children, children with futures, parents, and names that will not soon be forgotten.

00:00:28.040 Their grief is real, and outrage is appropriate. 0.96

00:00:32.660 Iran knowingly struck a civilian population center. 0.91

00:00:36.460 Whatever geopolitical or theological arguments are made,

00:00:40.560 the bitten children did not deserve to die beneath concrete in the middle of the night.

00:00:46.260 However, grief does not erase accountability.

00:00:50.500 Before turning to theology, consider just the raw numbers.

00:00:53.980 Save the Children reports at least 20,000 children killed in Gaza over 23 months, roughly one per hour.

00:01:02.660 UNICEF estimates 64,000 children killed or maimed by October 2025.

00:01:10.100 A February 2026 Lancet population study estimated 22,800 children killed by direct violence through January 2025.

00:01:20.120 And a peer-reviewed analysis found child mortality increased by 34-fold over pre-war levels, with peak child death rates double those of the Rwanda genocide.

00:01:34.520 UNRWA reported that more children were killed in Gaza in four months than in all global conflicts combined from 2019 to 2022.

00:01:45.760 Oxfam found more children died in the first year of the war than in the entire period from 2005 to 2022.

00:01:55.720 Early in the campaign, over 100 children were killed per day.

00:02:00.560 The rate never normalized.

00:02:02.900 Comparatively, Syria, for example, averaged 7 child deaths per day over 12 years.

00:02:09.540 Yemen, 4 every 3 days.

00:02:12.240 Afghanistan, two child deaths per day, and Ukraine, fewer than one per day. 0.93

00:02:18.780 Gaza exceeded all of them.

00:02:21.460 Under five mortality rates rose to 1.2, all the way with some estimates being 4.2 times that of Niger, Nigeria, and Somalia.

00:02:33.000 IDF internal data reportedly lists 8,900 confirmed militant kills against total deaths exceeding 70,000, implying an 83% civilian casualty rate that's higher than any conflict since 1989.

00:02:52.140 Other reporting indicates authorization thresholds of 15 to 20 civilian deaths per low-ranking militant and over 100 civilian deaths for senior targets.

00:03:06.480 Nearly 48% of blast injury deaths are children.

00:03:10.840 40% are under the age of 10.

00:03:13.780 Mortality for children under the age of 5 rose tenfold.

00:03:18.620 These are not primitive conditions.

00:03:20.300 Gaza has been struck with precision-guided munitions, AI-assisted targeting, and advanced

00:03:27.600 surveillance. When such systems produce casualty rates exceeding Rwanda, two explanations exist,

00:03:35.760 catastrophic incompetence or intentional output, and few argue the foreman. The UN Commission of

00:03:44.560 inquiry in September 2025 concluded genocidal intent was, quote, the only reasonable inference,

00:03:53.300 end quote. Public statements from Israeli officials, including references to Amalek and calls to wipe

00:04:01.120 out Gaza, reinforce that interpretation. This brings the issue into theological focus.

00:04:09.640 Here's scripture.

00:04:11.060 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity.

00:04:14.520 That's Proverbs 22, verse 8.

00:04:17.320 See, the data describe not isolated tragedy, but sustained pattern.

00:04:22.960 17% of Gaza's under 15 population is reportedly dead.

00:04:28.400 Let me say that again.

00:04:30.120 17% of Gaza's under 15-year-old population is reportedly dead.

00:04:37.720 approximately 17,000 children have lost both of their parents. Life expectancy has fallen by

00:04:45.620 roughly 35 years. Gaza now has the highest rate of child amputees per capita in recorded history.

00:04:55.960 The region's escalation is not disconnected. Iran's missile killing, the bitten children,

00:05:01.380 does not emerge from a vacuum.

00:05:04.140 Actions accumulate.

00:05:05.800 Consequences return.

00:05:07.920 Here's scripture.

00:05:09.180 As you have done, it shall be done to you.

00:05:12.080 Obadiah chapter 1 verse 15.

00:05:14.740 This is not triumphalism.

00:05:16.540 The bitten children should have lived.

00:05:19.060 Their deaths are unjust.

00:05:20.680 But scripture does not suspend cause and effect

00:05:24.080 for the sake of sentiment.

00:05:26.280 A moral order exists

00:05:27.840 and it does not dissipate accumulated injustice

00:05:31.100 rather it compounds it. 20,000 dead children is not a statistic that vanishes. It is a seed and

00:05:40.960 according to the text Christians claim to believe seeds grow. The conclusion is unavoidable. Grief

00:05:48.900 is real but so is judgment. Nations like individuals are not exempt. Radical Christian

00:05:58.340 Nationalist Pastor, Joel Webin.

00:06:00.860 Joel Webin.

00:06:02.200 I'm going to talk about Joel Webin.

00:06:04.060 Joel Webin is an accident.

00:06:25.840 All right, we are live.

00:06:28.340 Right now, we're going to be using an article from our Substack.

00:06:32.280 That's NXR Studio Substack.

00:06:33.820 The link is in the show notes below if you want to read this

00:06:36.780 because we're going to cover as much of it as we can,

00:06:38.700 but there's a lot of information that we won't be able to get to,

00:06:41.440 but we have the statistics, we have the data,

00:06:43.220 we have everything in this article that is being published right now

00:06:47.520 in the next few minutes as I speak.

00:06:49.020 You can go to substack.com forward slash at NXR Studios.

00:06:53.240 Again, that's substack.com forward slash at NXR Studios.

00:06:57.200 and again, it's in the show notes below if you want to read all this and get even more facts

00:07:01.460 than what we'll be providing today. But we're going to be reading from this article. That's

00:07:04.840 why we've got all the papers on the desk today. We're going to be going hard in the paint. We're

00:07:08.640 going to start with you, Wesley. You've got a few things that you wanted to highlight from this

00:07:12.580 article. Go ahead and take it away. Well, I'm going to jump right in with that statistic that

00:07:16.500 you read in the cold open, 20,000 children. The rate of child deaths in Gaza, reading now from

00:07:21.640 this article is double that of the Rwandan genocide. At its peak, the IDF's own leaked

00:07:27.680 internal database registered 8,900 confirmed kills against a total death toll exceeding

00:07:32.840 70,000, producing a civilian death rate 260% higher than in other modern conflicts. But the

00:07:40.480 child death rate in particular, it's almost 700% higher. Rwanda used machetes and a collapsing 0.83

00:07:47.060 government to rack up those figures. Gaza is being done with the most accurate weapons targeting 0.99

00:07:52.180 system ever built by human hands, which means somebody made a choice. That choice had a body 0.65

00:07:57.120 count and the body count has names. And at least 20,000 of those names belonged to children. To

00:08:03.660 phrase it another way, Rwanda's death rate was caused by utter civilizational chaos. Gaza's 0.95

00:08:09.720 death rate has been caused by orderly elimination. So if Rwanda was a genocide, which everybody 0.97

00:08:15.320 agrees, then what's Gaza? Think about the math. The slaughter rate in Gaza adjusted for population 0.84

00:08:21.160 and age cohort beats Rwanda's worst numbers by a factor of two and children a factor of seven.

00:08:28.720 This is not a contested figure that's been hauled out of thin air by a pro-Palestinian blogger. It

00:08:34.000 comes from the same international impartial organizations that the Trump State Department

00:08:38.400 and even Biden before him uses to compile death stats and military conflicts and natural disasters

00:08:44.200 around the world. These are peer-reviewed, methodologically rigorous statistics produced

00:08:49.120 by trusted organizations, and they all point the same picture. Ethnic cleansing. The UNRWA 0.99

00:08:56.860 delivered the most arresting single statistic of the entire conflict when they reported

00:09:00.500 in March 2024, so this is just six months or so after the conflict started on October 7th of 2023,

00:09:06.680 that more children have been killed in Gaza in four months than in all global conflict zones

00:09:13.240 combined over the entire four-year period from 2019 to 2022. Oxfam subsequently found that over

00:09:20.000 the first year of the war, more children were killed in Gaza than in the entire period from

00:09:23.960 2005 to 2022 combined. That's roughly 17 years of global conflict folded into 12 months in one

00:09:32.140 territory that's the size of Philadelphia. For comparison, another comparison, the Syrian Civil

00:09:37.620 War killed approximately seven children per day, averaged across 12 years. Yemen killed four

00:09:42.760 children every three days across seven and a half years. Afghanistan tracked roughly two per day

00:09:48.120 from 2009 to 2020. Ukraine, as of late 2023, was recording fewer than one child per day.

00:09:55.080 Gaza, at its operational pace, was killing more than 100 children per day in the early months of

00:10:01.220 the campaign. The daily rate never normalized. It simply continued and continued and continued

00:10:05.620 and the cumulative weight of it broke every historical comparison that anyone could reach

00:10:10.820 for. Gaza, a strip of land smaller than the city of Detroit, generated more dead children per capita

00:10:16.820 than anywhere else on earth. The stats show that the under five mortality in Gaza in 2024 is 1.2

00:10:22.360 to 4.2 times higher, as we said in the cold open, than Niger, Nigeria, and Somalia. Terrible third 0.82

00:10:28.420 world countries in the mix of absolute civilizational destruction. And to put a point 1.00

00:10:35.660 on especially the technology piece. So we've talked about this before. We talked about it last

00:10:39.780 year as far as Palantir and targeting. But one of the AI systems that they use to generate what

00:10:44.560 are called kill lists in Gaza, the Israeli military is highly advanced. They're not big.

00:10:48.740 Israel is only a country of about 9 million people. Iran is 90 million for comparison.

00:10:53.840 So for size, for the individuals in it, it's relatively small. But they're one of the most 1.00

00:10:58.820 technologically advanced in the world. That's what makes these numbers so shocking. One of

00:11:03.760 systems is called, it's been operating since 2019, called Habsora. And in English, that translates to

00:11:10.720 the gospel. And the IDF said, I'm reading now from an Agardian article, that through the rapid

00:11:14.980 and automatic extraction of intelligence, the gospel, this is AI targeting platform that they've

00:11:20.120 called the gospel, produced targeting recommendations for its researchers with the goal of a complete

00:11:24.820 match between the recommendation of the machine and the identification carried out by a person.

00:11:29.660 So the IDF's goal is that when they're matching someone with an AI kill list, complete confidence.

00:11:34.700 This is not a, we're pretty sure we're 75%, more likely than not, complete confidence.

00:11:40.380 Multiple sources familiar with IDF's targeting processes confirmed the existence of the gospel,

00:11:44.800 saying it had been used to produce automated recommendations for attacking targets,

00:11:48.360 such as the private homes of individuals suspected of being Hamas or Islamic jihad operatives.

00:11:53.520 In recent years, the target division has helped the IDF build a database of what sources say was between 30,000 to 40,000 suspected militants.

00:12:01.680 Systems such as the gospel, they said, played a critical role in building lists of individuals authorized to be assassinated.

00:12:08.480 Aviv Kaskavai, who served as the head of the IDF until January, said the target division is powered by AI capabilities and includes hundreds of officers and soldiers.

00:12:17.500 So divisions with hundreds, thousands of personnel on it, one of the most brilliant militaries in the world that's been using AI for almost a decade to generate kill lists, apparently also are missed so badly, the child death rate is over 700% that it is in all comparable global conflicts.

00:12:34.460 I don't believe that.

00:12:35.600 That's called a little bit of something called intentionality.

00:12:38.640 Yes, very well said.

00:12:40.360 Just to give another example.

00:12:42.780 So this is a recent report that just came in.

00:12:44.740 Israeli soldiers. Now, this is alleged, but I believe it. And there have been, this is just 0.84

00:12:51.340 one example. There have been multiple reports like this, and many of them from credible sources.

00:12:56.020 Israeli soldiers torture a one-year-old child in Gaza, including burning his leg with a cigarette

00:13:01.740 and inserting a nail into his leg, according to a report, to pressure his father to make

00:13:07.680 confessions. Here's the big, let me, so we've given a lot of facts. We've given a lot of details

00:13:12.740 and statistics and these things to the best of our ability uh what is true citing credible sources

00:13:17.500 here's the big picture um in the spiritual realm of light versus darkness of good versus evil for

00:13:23.960 us as christians here's the position we don't like war if you were a christian you should not

00:13:31.600 be salivating every single time lindsey graham gets up behind a camera and says i'm sending your

00:13:37.460 sons to die for Israel. That should not excite you. If you are a Christian, you love the Lord 0.79

00:13:43.720 Jesus Christ, there was a post that actually just came out this morning that I really appreciate

00:13:48.780 from an evangelical Christian man who's doing a lot of different metrics. Think of the, what were

00:13:55.500 they, Pew Pulpit would be another example, or some of these different groups. And so he's taken a lot

00:14:01.060 of findings, a lot of data, and published and showed that on the issue of gay marriage, the issue

00:14:06.920 of transgenderism and the issue of abortion. It's not even close. It is a landslide, conservative,

00:14:13.900 political, cultural, conservative position coming from evangelical Christians. Mainline

00:14:18.640 Protestant denominations, spoiler alert, they're super gay. They love abortion. They love sodomy. 1.00

00:14:24.640 They love it all, all right? Catholics, they're kind of split, and we got a lot of Catholic 1.00

00:14:28.980 friends. We love our Catholic friends, but they're kind of 50-50, right? They're over majority. I 0.95

00:14:35.580 think it's like 60, 70% against transgenderism. But on abortion, they're kind of, this is Catholics, 0.67

00:14:42.560 not across the globe, but in America. So American Catholics versus American evangelicals. American

00:14:48.160 evangelicals, it's like 83% is against abortion. Another 80% against gay marriage, 90% against

00:14:55.800 transgenderism. Catholics, the evangelicals are beating them by 20, 30% margins. Mainline

00:15:02.780 Protestants. Evangelicals are beating them by 50-60% margins. So here's my point. Evangelicals

00:15:08.880 do really well. Protestant evangelicals do really well in their voting patterns when it comes to

00:15:14.000 political and cultural issues of our day. Those which are blatantly moral. Things like the sanctity

00:15:20.680 of life from conception in the womb. The sanctity of traditional marriage. One man, one woman.

00:15:27.020 Here's one of the uh, I think the achilles heel of evangelicals

00:15:32.060 They have not yet connected the dots of the very things they vote against and one of the primary sources of those things

00:15:38.780 So on the one hand, they're a bulwark against abortion

00:15:42.460 Against homosexuality on the other hand. They are the biggest zionist supporters 0.99

00:15:47.860 Right your apac funded politicians 1.00

00:15:50.960 Evangelicals vote for them like like there's no tomorrow ted cruz. They love them

00:15:56.340 but ted cruz and lindsey graham and mark levin and these kinds of guys these people are they are

00:16:02.620 war they're bloodthirsty men they are war crazed men there is not a war in the middle east that

00:16:08.940 they don't like that they don't love they they they promote these things and this is what i want

00:16:13.980 you to see from just a pastoral point of view for just a moment here if you are a bible believing

00:16:19.820 traditional conservative evangelical christian you need to hate war in the same way that you hate

00:16:27.800 abortion the same way that you hate homosexuality nations will be judged i believe that america is

00:16:35.440 not just was it certainly was but is a christian nation here's the caveat but a christian nation

00:16:41.560 currently under god's judgment for its apostasy we are a christian nation but we're a christian

00:16:48.480 nation in the process of rebelling against God. And because of our founding being Christian,

00:16:54.380 God is not going to spare us. But our rebellion, our apostatizing from being Christian actually

00:17:01.360 incurs stricter, harsher judgments from God. And so I believe that we are a nation that right now

00:17:08.020 is under God's judgment for the sin of abortion, the sin of sodomy, these kinds of things. One of 0.65

00:17:14.280 those judgments is mass immigration. Now, here's the thing. If somebody is injured, and let's say

00:17:21.980 the source of their injury predominantly is internal bleeding, but they also have some

00:17:27.520 other collateral damage on the surface of their skin, gaping wounds, what do you do? Well, you

00:17:33.300 triage. You're going to prioritize the thing that's lethal, the thing that's going to kill

00:17:37.960 them the quickest, but you want to say, hey, we're only going to deal with the root cause,

00:17:42.460 the most dangerous element of this person's condition and we're not going to do anything

00:17:47.220 for the external. No, you would treat both. There's a triaging in terms of priority, what gets hit

00:17:53.640 first, what's most urgent, but that person would be brought into the ER and they would be treated

00:17:59.140 all the way around. So what should we do? We should fight against mass immigration, invasion,

00:18:06.140 the conquest of foreign nations over our country, but we also have to deal with the root sins that

00:18:12.120 brought about this judgment. And the root sins, when we think of that, this is where evangelicals 0.72

00:18:17.240 miss, they miss the 30,000 foot view. They are meticulous and they're right in the sense that

00:18:23.940 they're saying, look, mass immigration, we get that it's not good, you know, but the real problem

00:18:27.920 is abortion. Well, you know what? I actually agree that abortion is probably one of the

00:18:34.060 quintessential sins of America that has incurred God's judgment. And one of the primary forms of 0.98

00:18:40.500 God's judgment is the conquest of our country by foreign nations. I believe that. But here's the 1.00

00:18:45.600 deal. You can hedge against the immigration, also repent for the abortion, and there is one more 0.88

00:18:50.440 root sin. There's one more causal sin that should be added to the list of gay marriage and abortion, 0.99

00:18:57.160 and it is us as a nation funding unjust wars. That's the point that I want Christians in my 1.00

00:19:06.100 nation that I love to see. I want your eyes wide open. I want you to see this with clarity,

00:19:12.560 with God's perspective. Now, a couple more disclaimers just briefly. Number one, we are not

00:19:18.380 against war. There is, throughout Christian tradition, for over a thousand years, lots of

00:19:25.100 theology and writing has been done on this subject, the subject being just war theory. There is a time

00:19:32.200 for nations to go to war, but they must enter the war for just causes and they must fight the war

00:19:39.600 in just measures, in just ways. So I am a nationalist. That does not mean that I am a pure

00:19:47.260 in all circumstances isolationist. I hate war. I hate war. That does not mean that I think there

00:19:55.340 are no circumstances in which we must fight a war. But what's going on in Gaza and now Iran to 0.63

00:20:01.940 kind of connect it here. Last thing I'll say, connecting it to where we are relevantly,

00:20:06.920 right? Presently, right now. The same nation that has murdered children by the tens of thousands

00:20:13.720 that has the capacity for precision and yet murdered them anyways with dozens of reports

00:20:21.080 of torturing children and babies, burning their legs with cigarettes, inserting nails into their

00:20:28.200 legs in order to get a parent to squeal or tell them something. This nation, Israel, is a nation 0.91

00:20:34.780 that we fund with billions of dollars, with weaponry, with our soldiers, and not only have 0.78

00:20:41.320 they been fighting unjustly in Gaza, in cleansing it, committing genocide, targeting children. Not

00:20:50.120 only that, but the same nation that did that, and everyone was sounding the alarm, and Zionist

00:20:56.220 evangelicals weren't really listening. Maybe they're, oh, well, it's not my favorite, but we 0.61

00:21:00.940 got to still support God's chosen people. Well, that nation that for two years now has committed

00:21:07.180 war crimes that we continue to support is the very same nation that now just in the past few weeks

00:21:14.640 by Marco Rubio's own testimony, by many of our own government officials high up in the Trump 0.85

00:21:21.840 administration that nation has drug our nation into a war with iran why are we bombing iran

00:21:28.260 why why are we and i understand that in this case it is at least what we've been told allegedly it 0.51

00:21:34.080 was an accident killing 200 something children in a school in iran we did that now i don't think it

00:21:41.440 was targeted i don't think it was intentional but but how did that happen well by our own officials

00:21:47.040 word by their own testimony right i'm a simple man i'm not a conspiracy theorist i'm just over

00:21:52.200 here taking marco rubio's word for it when he's doing an official press report and he said we

00:21:58.500 knew that if we didn't bomb iran that israel would not stand down even if we begged them

00:22:05.140 and that they were going to go ahead on the offense and attack and they would do it poorly 0.97

00:22:10.380 and they would do they would hurt a lot of innocence and they wouldn't quite get the job

00:22:15.360 done because they don't quite have the weaponry that we do it would elicit a greater response

00:22:20.820 retaliation from iran that would target u.s military bases in the region and hurt american

00:22:27.800 soldiers and that has happened but again marco rubio saying we think it would have happened

00:22:32.640 even at a higher degree so why did we get into the war because trump is playing 4d chess because

00:22:38.060 this is good for america because it was deliberate we thought about it we talked about it we strategized 0.77

00:22:42.700 for years and now is no israel dragged us in israel has committed a genocide in gaza they now 0.79

00:22:49.240 have drug us into another war with iran oil is spiking through the roof uh polymarket um has 0.73

00:22:55.660 just uh released reported that major ceos of fortune 500 companies are sending out international

00:23:02.700 reports um emails to their international different headquarters around the world

00:23:08.560 informing their higher-up employees to prepare for oil to be above $175 a barrel and to remain

00:23:17.380 above $100 all the way until 2027. The way that this will affect our economy, here's the deal,

00:23:24.460 we are not having the results economically that America was forecasted to have. And because of

00:23:31.520 AI and other factors, unemployment is rising. Typically, what the Fed would do in this scenario

00:23:37.800 in order to keep us out of recession is cut rates.

00:23:41.980 Make money cheaper so that money moves,

00:23:44.440 so that the economy grows.

00:23:46.460 So that at least,

00:23:47.600 even though we're not producing quite as much

00:23:49.360 as we wanted to,

00:23:50.340 you don't have quite the earning reports,

00:23:52.780 you know, unemployment is maybe down.

00:23:54.660 You're making it cheaper for companies,

00:23:56.520 hoping that that would incentivize growth

00:23:58.620 and hiring and all these different things.

00:24:01.080 But the Fed can't cut rates if one thing,

00:24:04.380 and there's one predominant thing

00:24:05.520 that would stand in the way, inflation.

00:24:07.800 They can't make money cheaper if the cost of goods is already skyrocketing.

00:24:12.960 And one of the underlining issues or products that makes everything more expensive because

00:24:18.740 of travel and shipping is oil.

00:24:21.640 So right now, we essentially have our country, our president, sending us into a recession

00:24:29.360 that will mean mass unemployment.

00:24:32.180 That is on the table as a real possibility.

00:24:34.720 Not guaranteed, but a real possibility.

00:24:37.360 People are talking about the possibility

00:24:39.140 of it being likened to the 2008 housing crash,

00:24:42.820 the way that it will affect fathers

00:24:44.240 and their ability to provide for their families

00:24:46.400 and all this because we made a deliberate decision

00:24:49.380 that in the long run, it will be better. 0.63

00:24:50.680 No, because Israel committed genocide 0.86

00:24:52.800 and right after that turned around 0.84

00:24:55.580 and drug us into a war with Iran.

00:24:58.320 If you are an evangelical, conservative, 0.98

00:25:01.040 Bible-loving Christian, you need to hate abortion. 0.99

00:25:04.620 You need to hate sodomy. 1.00

00:25:05.860 You need to see immigration as a judgment. 1.00

00:25:08.700 Walk and chew gum at the same time.

00:25:10.000 You can push back against the judgment and the root sin.

00:25:12.640 We can do both. 0.76

00:25:13.840 See that as a judgment from the Lord for abortion,

00:25:17.220 for homosexuality, gay marriage, transgenderism, 0.96

00:25:20.400 drag queen story out, and I'm simply adding,

00:25:23.580 I'm not saying one or the other, but both end,

00:25:25.300 and America's willful participation 0.81

00:25:28.460 and funding of Israel's unjust wars.

00:25:32.900 It is a sin and God hates it.

00:25:35.300 You don't have to be an isolationist. You should be a nationalist, but you do not have to be an

00:25:39.820 isolationist and you do not have to be a pacifist. We're not pacifists. There is a time, Ecclesiastes

00:25:45.900 says there's a time for peace, there's a time for war, but there is a difference in a just war 0.79

00:25:50.520 and Israel's maniacal war crimes against humanity and them dragging in our nation to fight their 0.57

00:25:59.620 wars again and again. One last little piece. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention. It's not exactly 0.73

00:26:05.600 connected to today's episode, but it just came out this morning. The owner of OnlyFans,

00:26:13.120 a pornography website that pimps out America's daughters by the thousands to get a little bit

00:26:19.520 of money. Some of them make tons, but most of them are making just pennies, selling their bodies 1.00

00:26:25.040 on the internet which is forever so their future husbands and children will see mom 0.55

00:26:29.840 or at least know about it doing unspeakable perverse things and the owner of that company

00:26:37.160 only fans who early life check i'm telling you neo morpheus you're saying that uh that when i'm

00:26:43.180 ready that all i have to do is is an early life check i'm telling you neo that when you're ready

00:26:47.680 you won't have to he's jewish radvinsky that sounds scandinavian german he's jewish and he

00:26:54.060 just died today at 43 years old from cancer. And here's the deal. This Jewish man who owned

00:27:00.380 OnlyFans, a massive pornography website that pimped out America's daughters also happened to 0.91

00:27:07.300 be, and this is not a coincidence, the number one funder of AIPAC. So as he's pimping out your

00:27:13.920 daughters, America, in order to make billions for himself, he then turns around and takes the money

00:27:21.600 he garnered by pimping out your daughters to then fund israel first zionist politicians

00:27:29.780 in your american government who will then pimp out your sons to go to the middle east and die in the 0.72

00:27:36.320 sand that's israel that's jewish influence and that is one of the sins that's not a judgment 0.92

00:27:45.480 Judgment is like mass immigration. 0.94

00:27:48.160 Judgment is the white race dissipating and being replaced. 0.99

00:27:52.280 Those are judgments. 0.92

00:27:53.540 But the root sins that have brought about God's judgment is abortion, the murder of 0.80

00:27:58.960 children in the womb, sodomy and gay marriage, perversion, but also unjust wars and America's 0.87

00:28:07.140 allegiance to Israel. 0.85

00:28:08.820 Not only is it a lie that if we bless Israel, we'll be blessed.

00:28:13.240 i believe that america choosing to monetarily and militarily bless israel has actually brought

00:28:19.960 about god's curses i believe that fully i believe that fully all right yeah well you know what

00:28:26.820 actually real quick let's go to a commercial break and then antonio is going to read some 0.86

00:28:30.660 more from the article and we'll break down a little bit more here we go breaking news you're fat

00:31:49.600 raise the standard reject the slop join the pursuit of the good the true and the beautiful

00:31:56.360 knickknack crush your vice all right we're back so uh Joel earlier you were quoting ecclesiastics

00:32:04.880 there's a time for peace there's a time for war and then you talked about this concept of just

00:32:09.600 war theory and sort of how Christians have articulated when war is necessary, when it's

00:32:14.780 pertinent, when it's righteous versus when it's not. And one of the concepts that's been

00:32:19.560 articulated with respect to just war theory is the concept of proportionality. And so this is

00:32:25.300 basically the idea that in war, the desire is actually always for, it's to achieve your

00:32:31.760 objective, but it is ultimately for peace. It's the idea that the nation doesn't actually want

00:32:35.960 to be at war and proportionality sort of helps facilitate that those dual objectives of peace

00:32:42.480 and the achievement um and of some of the strategy that is so um and what one of the ideas there is

00:32:49.280 that you don't you know when you get slapped in the face you don't pull out a gun when you get

00:32:53.680 punched you don't pull out a knife etc and the idea is there that you can eliminate the travesties

00:32:59.480 that occur during war by not um forcing your enemy's hand into more drastic action so this is

00:33:05.460 this is the idea of the nuke being the the samson option the nuke being the the highest form of

00:33:10.860 aggression and uh first you first start with targeting your uh your enemy's air missile

00:33:16.940 defense system you then go to their navy and then you continue to build up and now we're at the

00:33:21.260 point i think in iran where we're talking about their infrastructure so civilian infrastructure

00:33:25.020 that gives them power gives them heat gives them air conditioning those sorts of things

00:33:29.800 because you continue have to raise the standard to try to try just enough just enough to try to

00:33:34.920 force your enemies into some kind of concession, into negotiations, et cetera. And jumping back to

00:33:41.660 Gaza, I think what we see in Gaza is actually the worst example of what proportionality in just war

00:33:47.660 theory looks like. And one of the most obvious ways that you can see this is the civilian 1.00

00:33:52.740 casualty rate. And obviously, we can look back in history, we can talk about World War II, for

00:33:57.860 example, and America's determination to, and Truman specifically, determination to use the nuclear

00:34:02.700 weapon in mainland Japan. That was an indication, obviously the civilian death rate was bonkers

00:34:09.140 from that act, but that was a disproportionate act. It was the point of saying, I'm going to

00:34:15.060 use a weapon you don't even have because I'm going to end the war right now. And obviously

00:34:19.340 civilian casualty rate is really high. But I want to go back to Gaza. We're going to look back to 0.98

00:34:23.200 this article and I'll read a section here that talks about the civilian casualty rate that we

00:34:27.540 saw in Gaza. It says, quote, a classified IDF database, that's important, IDF database,

00:34:34.340 because some people in the chat will say you're believing propaganda that's, you know, pro-Hamas

00:34:38.520 or whatever, anti-Israel. But the reality is this is IDF. So a classified IDF database reported by

00:34:44.660 The Guardian listed 8,900 named Hamas and PIJ fighters confirmed killed. Cross-referencing

00:34:50.940 that figure against total casualties produces a civilian death rate of approximately 83 percent,

00:34:57.480 which exceeds that of every conflict since 1989. An Israeli sociologist named Yegel Levy,

00:35:03.640 writing in Haaretz, an Israeli publication, noted that the civilian death toll in Gaza

00:35:08.700 is higher than all world conflicts from World War II to the present. Where did his stats come from?

00:35:15.260 Pro-Homaz sources? No. The IDF itself. Two prominent Israeli investigative journalist

00:35:21.280 outlets, plus 972 and local call, citing six Israeli intelligence officers, reported that

00:35:28.060 the IDF explicitly authorized killing 15 to 20 civilians per low-ranking militant and more than

00:35:34.820 100 civilians per senior militant. Do you comprehend how evil this is? This is not a fog

00:35:40.820 of war accident, going back to your point, Wes. This is not a fog of war accident. This is written

00:35:45.960 doctrine. It has a number attached to it. The kills per civilian ratio is a budgeted line item,

00:35:52.080 not a tragic miscalculation. And somewhere in the bowels of the IDF planning apparatus,

00:35:57.080 someone signed off on math that produced 20,000 dead children and then rounded up to the nearest

00:36:02.840 acceptable threshold. And going back to your point is in terms of where we're at in technological

00:36:08.460 sophistication within warfare. You made the right point, which is, and this is true for

00:36:13.920 American intelligence, too. When we go in and we say we're going to kill Kamene, when we say we're 0.96

00:36:19.740 going to kill any given terrorist network leader, whoever it is, we're making the determination of, 0.96

00:36:27.720 okay, where are they at? What is the likelihood that we know where they're at? Who are they around?

00:36:31.640 Do they have family? Do they have children? What's the likelihood we can attack them and not kill

00:36:35.240 the children. And we come up with all of these sort of probabilistic determinations, and then we

00:36:39.960 act on those things with whatever degree certainty we have that we won't harm civilians. But the

00:36:45.220 reality is, it is intentional. So it is no surprise. The probability was always there.

00:36:51.180 You always knew, okay, we have these Hamas terrorists that are in this hospital, and we 0.99

00:36:56.360 know that there are civilians in the hospital, and we're going to target them despite knowing 0.98

00:37:00.500 there is a chance that we will kill innocent women and children.

00:37:04.860 And in fact, they did make that determination.

00:37:06.860 And they did, as a matter of fact, per their own sources, kill civilians.

00:37:10.740 An 83% civilian casualty rate is insane.

00:37:14.440 The American Civil War, so over 650,000 soldiers died.

00:37:19.240 And the numbers of civilian deaths are only in the tens of thousands.

00:37:22.600 And most of those are from famine.

00:37:23.940 Most of those are from disease.

00:37:25.920 And also in that American Civil War, you had very few cases of violence against children.

00:37:30.020 There were Union soldiers put to death because they raped.

00:37:33.480 That's what it looks like.

00:37:34.520 You can have your qualms about how moral the American Civil War was for the South to secede,

00:37:38.960 whether they had the right to do so, whether the Union had the right to invade.

00:37:42.240 But it was a war between two largely Christian groups of people.

00:37:45.580 And more than that, they were principled Western white men.

00:37:48.500 And in a war like that, it looked like 90 to 95 percent of the casualties were the men

00:37:52.460 who were engaged in the conflict.

00:37:54.000 Sexual violence was punished severely.

00:37:56.880 that's what an actual just war looks like. That kill rate of civilians, these death rates of

00:38:02.940 children, and the reason Joel brought up OnlyFans, all these different things, it's all connected.

00:38:08.240 Israel is, Tel Aviv used to, before all this war, host one of the world's biggest pride parades. They

00:38:14.280 revel in sexual perversion. Abortion is provided in Israel free of charge under their universal 0.99

00:38:19.540 health care policy. So this is a nation that in its formal religion hates Christ. This is a religion 0.83

00:38:24.580 that funds violence against unborn children via abortion. 0.99

00:38:27.880 This is a nation that celebrates sodomy.

00:38:30.060 Oh, and then you're telling me when they went into war, 0.99

00:38:32.480 which was a just war as far as Hamas attacked them, 0.93

00:38:35.560 they were brutal, they were a bunch of terrorists,

00:38:37.240 were not on side Hamas, they were attacked by brutal people, 1.00

00:38:40.060 you're telling me this violent, Christ-hitting nation 0.98

00:38:42.200 responded disproportionately, glassed and cleansed the area, 0.99

00:38:45.960 and also took out tens of thousands of children

00:38:48.220 that were the collateral to it?

00:38:49.420 That makes perfect sense.

00:38:50.700 Violence begets violence.

00:38:52.280 Wickedness begets wickedness.

00:38:53.540 and it's all connected for us to say, we have a moral duty to support them?

00:38:58.140 What planet are you living on? Not at all.

00:39:01.660 Right, and to believe that it was necessary. 1.00

00:39:03.240 It's like, I won't pretend to know what the right thing for Israel,

00:39:07.300 who feels like they're in an existential battle for their own existence,

00:39:11.320 for regional power dynamics, whatever the case is.

00:39:14.760 Their justification presumably was, 1.00

00:39:17.520 we know that we're going to kill a lot of women and children. 0.85

00:39:20.820 But if we don't right now, it will mean death and destruction for us. 0.96

00:39:25.420 It will mean our women and children.

00:39:26.780 Now, that's always naturally just the justification any man would make before he commits some kind of travesty.

00:39:32.700 But the reality is, is that they did do it.

00:39:35.900 And then to pretend as if it were the only option, to pretend as if it were necessary,

00:39:43.940 or even worse, as some pro-Israel pundits have attempted,

00:39:49.340 to suggest that it didn't happen at all, these things...

00:39:53.080 There's people in our chat saying this is Hamas propaganda. 0.90

00:39:55.420 Right. Yeah, and so...

00:39:56.900 The Guardian? Right.

00:39:58.200 The Guardian?

00:39:58.780 Or even, yeah, even more specifically, the IDF.

00:40:01.780 The IDF is saying these things.

00:40:04.180 And so to pretend that these things didn't happen,

00:40:07.700 it indicates a malicious motive.

00:40:11.060 Going back to the point of the ruse that has been pulled against the American evangelical,

00:40:17.080 it's like, go look at your grandma's response.

00:40:19.260 Go look at your mom's response to the bombing in Iran.

00:40:22.880 I would flip a coin. 0.99

00:40:24.260 I'd feel very confident that it was probably like, they scream, death to America, bomb 0.99

00:40:29.220 them, right?

00:40:30.280 And so it's this simplicity, this black and white that these malicious actors are trying

00:40:36.920 to bring to these really nuanced, complex issues in the Middle East to garner this sycophantic

00:40:43.540 support for war. And then the worst part is, and this is just where we are in our day, is people

00:40:50.680 are so disconnected from the real consequences of it. This is why the Middle Eastern conflicts, 0.61

00:40:56.140 Middle Eastern wars, had been especially devastating, is because we actually don't

00:41:00.140 feel it on the home front. If you have 50,000, 100,000 American warfighters deployed in the

00:41:06.900 Middle East, what's the likelihood that any given

00:41:08.940 boomer is going to have a grandson over

00:41:10.960 there? It's not that high, actually.

00:41:13.000 I mean, if you think about how big America is,

00:41:14.640 330 million people,

00:41:16.760 60, 70, 80 million boomers,

00:41:19.200 they're not feeling it.

00:41:20.640 They don't see, they're not

00:41:22.340 closely intimated with

00:41:24.980 the terrors, the

00:41:26.740 absolute travesty that is war,

00:41:29.260 and as a consequence, they come

00:41:31.020 to all of these naive conclusions,

00:41:33.060 and they're so

00:41:35.100 easy at the end of the day, they're so easy to manipulate. Yeah, well said. I really do think

00:41:41.380 that it's simple. I don't want to be overly dogmatic, but I think it's true. If you are a

00:41:46.560 Christian, you cannot support abortion. You cannot support homosexuality. You also cannot support 1.00

00:41:51.960 Israel. Israel, I believe, is in utter rebellion towards the Lord Jesus Christ. You're talking 0.89

00:41:58.900 about a nation that was founded on many things, but at least one of those things, if not the

00:42:03.960 preeminent thing was a rejection of Christ as the Messiah, saying, we identify with those who

00:42:10.480 crucified the Lord of glory. We think that they did the right thing. We think that they crucified

00:42:15.620 a false prophet and a blasphemer. Israel does not stand for morality. They do not stand for virtue. 1.00

00:42:21.720 They stand for pornography. They stand for Marxism. They stand for transgenderism. Like,

00:42:28.180 who first introduced that? Let's look at the history books. What books were they burning?

00:42:31.400 you know um pretty much every ism that you can think of the bolsheviks who's behind that uh well

00:42:37.840 it's you know it's the globalists it's the marxists it's the bolsheviks uh guys it's um 1.00

00:42:43.080 it's time for us just to uh to call a spade a spade can god save jews yes are they made in the 0.71

00:42:49.760 image of god yes are they his chosen people are they special no does israel have a right to exist 0.67

00:42:56.700 No. And that's not special or particular to them. No nation has a divine inherent right to exist.

00:43:04.640 They are responsible for maintaining their nation just like any other nation does. They do not have

00:43:10.560 a right to American military support so that they can keep their country and even expand it in the 0.96

00:43:17.820 Middle East at the expense of Muslims who are killed and displaced and then, lo and behold, 0.98

00:43:24.520 coincidentally wind up as refugees here in the West. It's enough. Enough is enough. If you want 0.98

00:43:31.880 to bless God, then bless his people. His people are Christians, not Jews. You want to bless God 0.98

00:43:39.620 and be blessed by God, then bless Christians. Bless Christ and those who have union with Christ

00:43:47.520 through faith, by the work of the Spirit. Bless the church of Jesus Christ. Bless Christian

00:43:54.940 nations. Do not bless blaspheming nations that hate the Lord Jesus Christ, that promote homosexuality, 1.00

00:44:02.660 that promote abortion, that promote pornography, and that drag your sons into wars. Use your tax

00:44:10.540 dollars so that you can't afford to feed your family. Enough is enough. Let's be truly Christian

00:44:17.660 all the way. Let's be a lone bulwark against the moral insanity of abortion and homosexuality, 1.00

00:44:25.480 transgenderism, drag queen story hour, and the United States of Israel. We must stand against 0.99

00:44:32.500 Babylon, real Babylon, actual Babylon. Do us a favor. If you have been blessed and benefited by 0.99
