1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: I was pretty blue yesterday. Yesterday was a sad, morose 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: day reflecting on what happened in Bondai, the Jewish deaths 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: and their horror, and it was made worse by this 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: never ending stream of video coverage from every angle. Never 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: has a massacre been as documented and then distributed as this. 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: It's the power of citizens who basically have broadcast studios 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: in their phones. Right now, we have video after video 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: spread by the very social media that Australia banned for 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: the under sixteens this past week, and we saw the victims, 10 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: the dead and the dying, and those being given CPR 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: in their summer shorts and their flip flops, ready for 12 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: a day of family fund by the sea. They looked 13 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: like us because they are us, and the father and 14 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 1: the son they looked une remarkable, portly fat on the 15 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: life of comfort Australia has given them, and yet they 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: did what they did the face of evil itsel off 17 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: and banal. Now are you beginning to think these days 18 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,959 Speaker 1: that Winston Peters knew what he was talking about when 19 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: he refused to back a state of Palestine earlier in 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: the year. I was one of the few who did agree. 21 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: There is no state. There was no governing authority or 22 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: governance legitimacy. But underneath it all there was no indication 23 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: that the Palestinians wanted peace, and his concern that her 24 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: mass was still armed and recognition could push her mass 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: and their supporters to a more hardened position. That's what 26 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: Winston said. So in the wake of the killings, there 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: was a Jewish block that I saw on the phone 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: in front of the dead and the dying, and he 29 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: let rip. He talked about October the seventh, He talked 30 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: about the harmas atrocity, and then he railed about Alberanesi 31 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: and all the other states and statesmen who then sent 32 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: money to Guaza and made virtue signaling noises about state 33 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: recognition and Lovererhold, what do we see? An angry, empowered people, 34 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: big grudge, still adopting a hardened position. Benjamin Nettinnah, who 35 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: wrote to Alberenzi back in August, He warned that Australia's 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: moves to recognize the Palestinian state poured fuel on the 37 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: anti Semitic fire and emboldened those who menace Australian Jews 38 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: and encourages the jew hatred which now stalks you a 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: street now, was Nettannaho wrong? Apparently we have a peace process. 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: Obviously it's not working. Apparently the endgame for the end 41 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: of violence between these two faiths is a two state solution. 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: But can we rarely see these two people co existing 43 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: anytime soon.
