1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well. Had a whole 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: bunch of updates coming out of Israel and Gaza that 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: just felt like couldn't wait, So I wanted to break 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: down a number of things for including message from the 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: Pope over this holiday season, viral message from a Palestinian 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: reverend in Bethlehem. We also have new evidence emerging, including 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: videos of potential war crimes. We have a new report 8 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: from the Washington Post comparing this level of destruction in 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: Gaza to all other wars this century and finding that 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: already in just this comparatively short period of time, this 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: surpasses the brutality and destruction of anything that we have 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: seen this century. They've got maps and data to prove that, 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: so I'll show you that as well. We've also got 14 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: some new data coming out of Israel about just what 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: Israeli Jews want to see in the quote unquote day 16 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: after spoiler alert. It's ethnic cleansing, and clearly this is 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: also what their political leaders are pushing for as well. Well. 18 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: And lastly, we've got this is a huge development, Israel 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,639 Speaker 1: allegedly assassinating one of Iran's top generals, doctor Tresa Parsi, 20 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: had a really important thread breaking down what this could mean, 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: what Israel could be pushing for here, and of course 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: this sparking concerns additional concerns of a potential regional war 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: which would certainly directly pull in the United States of America. 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: But I wanted to start with a viral Christmas message 25 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: from a reverend in Bethlehem sharing his thoughts on what 26 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: is happening. This is Palestinian Reverend month or Isaac preaching 27 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: in Bethlehem on December twenty third. Let's go ahead and 28 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: take a listen to what he had to say. 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: Raza today has become the moral compass of the world. 30 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: Rassa was hell before October seventh, and the world was silent. 31 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: Should we be a surprise that they're silenced now. If 32 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: you are not appalled by what is happening in Raza, 33 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: if you are not shaken to your core, there is 34 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: something wrong with your humanity. And if we ask Christians 35 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 2: are not outraced by the genocide, by the weaponization of 36 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: the Bible to justify it, there is something wrong with 37 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: our Christian witness and we are compromising the credibility of 38 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: our gospel message. If you fail to call this a genocide. 39 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 2: It is on you. It is a sin and a 40 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: darkness you willingly embrace. Some have not even called for 41 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 2: a ceasefire. I'm talking about churches. I feel sorry for you. 42 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: We will be okay. Despite the immense blow we have endured. 43 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 2: We the Palestinians, will recover. We were rise. We will 44 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: stand up again on the midst of destruction as we 45 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: have always done as Palestinians. Although this is by far 46 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: maybe the biggest law we have received in a long time. 47 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: But we will be okay. 48 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: Very powerful words there, and I intentionally began with that, 49 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: not only because of the season appropriate message for the season, 50 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: I suppose, but also because it helps put in context 51 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: everything else we're going to talk about today, because I 52 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: do think there will be a time not long from now, 53 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: when everyone looks back and is horrified by the atrocities 54 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: that have been committed here on a daily basis, with 55 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: the not only acceptance, but the United States, the most 56 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: powerful country in the world, aiding in a betting these crimes, 57 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: shipping weapons, providing diplomatic cover, providing rhetorical cover. You know, 58 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: doing this, playing this game of pretending like Joe Biden 59 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: and co. Are really concerned about civilian lives, which is, 60 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 1: you know, at this point, just a ruse to try 61 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,279 Speaker 1: to buy Israel even more time to commit the atrocities 62 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: that they've been committing. And I also wanted to share 63 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: with you the Pope with some similar language, I would say, 64 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: calling out the horrors of this war. And he has 65 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: been very unspoken throughout this war, including calling some of 66 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: Israeli's actions terrorism and certainly calling for an end and 67 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: a ceasefire and end to the bloodshed. This is per Reuters, 68 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: as posted in Haretz. Pope Lament's war in Holy Land 69 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: on solemn Christmas Eve put France's lamented war in the 70 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Land of the Birth of Jesus on Sunday, where Christmas 71 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: Eve brought only fresh bloodshed and an intensification of fighting 72 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: across the length of the Gaza Strip. Tonight, he said, 73 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: our hearts are in Bethlehem, where the Prince of Peace 74 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: is once more rejected by the futile logic of war, 75 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: by the clash of arms that even today prevents him 76 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: from finding room in the world. Palestinian Christians, they say, 77 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: earlier held a Christmas vigil in Bethlehem with candlelight hymns 78 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: and prayers for peace in Gaza. Instead of the usual celebrations, 79 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: there was no large tree, the usual centerpiece of Bethlehem's 80 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: Christmas celebrations. Nativity figurines and churches were placed amid rubble 81 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: and barbed wire in solidarity with the people of Gaza. 82 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: And as I had mentioned before, the Pope's most recent comments, 83 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: as far as I'm aware before this had been with 84 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: regard to the IDF killing of two Christian women, a 85 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: mother and daughter, who were sheltering at a historic Christian 86 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: church in Gaza. They were walking I believe, to use 87 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: the bathroom at the convent, and an IDF sniper took 88 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: them out, and those were the actions that the Pope 89 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: referred to as terrorism. So he continues to speak in 90 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: grave terms about what we are witnessing here, and there's 91 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: a good reason for that. It appears that we may 92 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: have just seen the most deadly stretch of killing yet 93 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: since October seventh, since Israel began their assault on Gaza. 94 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: This is per Al Jazeera. Israel intensifies Gaza strikes, killing 95 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty Palestinians in twenty four hours. More 96 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: than one hundred people have been killed in Israeli strike 97 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: on the Magazi refugee camp with families still trapped in rubble. 98 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: Let me read you a little bit of this they 99 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: spoke to, or they are recording the comments of a woman, 100 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: a bereft woman on Monday at that refugee camp, saying, 101 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: my entire family is gone. All five of my brothers 102 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: are gone. They didn't leave me any brothers, all of them. 103 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: Palestinians lined up to touch the shrouded bodies of those 104 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: killed and Israeli strikes on the camp in a funeral 105 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: on Monday, commemorating dozens of people who were killed, many 106 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: of them women and children, and Al Jazeera reporter in 107 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: Gaza said the figure has now reached more than one hundred. 108 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: The government media office in Gaza said seven families were 109 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: wiped out completely in that Israeli attack on a residential 110 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: square in the camp camp. One of those residents, Zaiyad Awad, 111 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: told Al Jazeera the Israeli army doesn't spare civilians. My 112 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: child said to me, help me, what's happening. I can't breathe. 113 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: And of course we're all very well aware of the 114 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: unbelievable toll in terms of civilian deaths in terms of women, 115 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: in terms of children. That's another way in which this 116 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: conflict stands out from all others. And you know, when 117 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: you cover this, when you care about this, you always 118 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: get these questions of like, oh, why are you so 119 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: focused on this? There are lots of terrible things happening 120 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: in the world. And that's true, lots of terrible things 121 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: happening in the world. But even with that being said, 122 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: on the level of starvation, on the level which I'm 123 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: about to show you of the destruction of buildings, just total, 124 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: you know, turning the whole landscape into a moonscape or 125 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: a parking lot, destroying all kinds of civilian infrastructure. This 126 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: is the worst this century, and certainly in terms of 127 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: the number of children killed, which is significantly over ten 128 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: thousand kids killed at this point. This is like nothing 129 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: else that we have seen in recent history. And then 130 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: you add to that, as an American citizen, the fact 131 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: that you know, when you're sending in your taxes here 132 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: in the new year, they are going for some of 133 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: these two thousand pound bunk or busting bombs that have 134 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: been indiscriminately dropped all over Gaza. And there was a 135 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: report I don't have the element here for you. But 136 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: you know, another many tons of weapons and AMMO just 137 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: being shipped by Biden to Israel. So all of their 138 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, supposed concerns about civilian life. I know we've 139 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: been having these tough conversations. Total and utter nonsense, Total 140 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: and utter nonsense. So let me show you. And this 141 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: is this is very disturbing, but I think it's important, 142 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: if you're able to bear it, to see some of 143 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: the video that is emerging. We talked before about reports 144 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: of summary execute We also talked previously on breaking Points 145 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: about how they were rounding up civilian civilian men, stripping 146 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: them naked, posting pictures of there were you know, utter humiliation. 147 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: Even Israel admitted after those roundups that most, the overwhelming 148 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: number of those who had been you know, rounded up, 149 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: strip naked and humiliated in this way, that they were civilians. 150 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: So we have another video that has emerged here that 151 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: I want to share with you may go ahead and 152 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: uh and pull this up. And this The sound is 153 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: not important on this one, so I'll keep it low. 154 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: But take a listen to those so you can see 155 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: here these in some instances children, I mean, if you 156 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: look closely at these pictures. You see men and you 157 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: see little boys who have been rounded up, hands on 158 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: their head. They're using a an empty uh soccer field 159 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: or football field to conduct these masked attentions. This is 160 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: from Rami Abdul with Euromed monitor and they have a 161 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: report about alleging these war crimes and documenting some of 162 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: the summary executions. What he writes here is field executions 163 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: and massed attentions. Alarming footage of Israeli forces turning a 164 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: stadium in Gaza into a massed attention camp. The video 165 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: shows the detention of hundreds of civilians, including women, elders 166 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: and babies. Euromed monitors confirmed that the Israeli forces are 167 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: carrying out field executions against civilians in Gaza after forcibly 168 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: removing them from displacement centers and stripping them. So that 169 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: is what you are watching in this horrifying video. And 170 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: they have, as I said, they have pulled together a 171 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: report that they have submitted to un Rappertours and the 172 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: ICC prosecutor. This is a primary report documenting dozens of 173 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: field execution cases in Gaza. Read a litle little bit 174 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: of this to you and a primary report submitted to 175 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: you on special Rapperturs and the prosecutor of the ICC 176 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: euro Met human rights monitors documented dozens of cases of 177 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: field executions carried out by the Israeli Army and the 178 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: Gaza strip. The Human Rights Group requested an immediate investigation 179 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: into these crimes, calling for the perpetrators to be held 180 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: accountable and for justice for all victims. If you read 181 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: through this, they have documented multiple instances of what they 182 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: describe as crimes and liquidations. You can see the dates 183 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: here and some of the details that they have submitted 184 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: with evidence in order to start an investigation hopefully and 185 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: some accountability. Hopefully. Wouldn't hold my breath on any of this, 186 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: because the truth of the matter is, I think, after 187 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: what we're seeing unfolding here, with the active participation of 188 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: the United States and with US providing diplomatic cover, etceter like, 189 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: any idea that human rights war crimes that any of 190 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: this matters, I just don't know how you sustain it. 191 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: And we are truly back to, you know, pre World 192 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: War two period, and that comes out in Natan Yahoo's 193 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: rhetoric of course, where he says, oh, well, you know, 194 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: we're not doing anything different than what the allies did 195 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: and what you all did in terms of World War two, 196 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: and anytime anyone says that, remember, first of all, there 197 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: is actual data to show that the level of destruction 198 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: Goza now surpasses what we did in places like dressed 199 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: In that were synonymous with mass civilian casualties and destruction 200 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: of civilian infrastructure. But second of all, there's a reason 201 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: why after World War Two we put in place things 202 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: like the Geneva Conventions so that civilians would face some 203 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: level of protection and so that we wouldn't have the 204 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: horrors unfolding again that we saw in wars like World 205 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: War two. So but all of that completely completely out 206 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: the window. So let's talk about this, you know, fake 207 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: conversation about what is going to happen on the day after. 208 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: Of course, US officials, oh, we want the Palestinie authority 209 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: to come in and then we want a two state solution, 210 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: completely ignoring that Netanyahu is adamantly opposed to that. Has 211 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: been clear that he's adamantly opposed to that, has been 212 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: bragging about how he is the reason why there is 213 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: no Palestinian state, has been bragging that he is the 214 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: guy to continue to prevent such a state from taking hold. 215 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: And now we have just the latest indication of many 216 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: reports that you know, we've tried to bring you, that 217 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: he knows what he wants on the day after, and 218 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: it is ethnic cleansing, he said in a lacud meaning today, 219 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: according to a Hebrew Israeli outlet, that he is actively 220 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: working to ethnic transfer Palestinians out of Gaza. And as 221 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: this person rightly indicates, similar statements have been made by 222 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: other ministers, but none of them had direct involvement in 223 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: war policy. Now we've got it coming straight from Netanyahu, 224 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: and it should be seen as a statement of intent. 225 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: And I saw others saying that, hey, listen, you know 226 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: we should be asking every US politician and every media 227 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: figure at this point, every analyst what they think about 228 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: this potential, you know, ethnic cleansing of Gaza. We know 229 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: bb net Nyahu has talked about us. He's pushing his 230 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: senior aid to come up with plans to quote thin 231 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: out the Gaza strip. We're seeing all of this incredibly 232 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: dystopian language, framing this in humanitarian terms, and the game 233 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: here is very clear render all of Gaza uninhabitable, which 234 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: frankly has been a project years in the making and 235 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: is just vastly accelerated by this current assault. Northern Gaza 236 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: is already uninhabitable, unlivable sea water being pumped into tunnels, 237 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: which is rendering the aquifer unusable, further compromising. It is 238 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: already the case that the overwhelming majority of Gazans had 239 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: no access to clean water even before this, you know, 240 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: destroy all of the civilian infrastructure. That was the game 241 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: with Al Shifa, which was you know, a beating heart 242 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: of Gaza civilian life. So you know, destroying all of that, 243 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: making it so no one can come back, and then saying, oh, 244 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: the humanitarian thing to do is to relocate people. We 245 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: know that there was a plan that apparently has some 246 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: bipartisan support to use US eight dollars to pressure regional 247 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: countries including Egypt and others, to accept hundreds of thousands 248 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: of Palestinian refugees. And make no mistake about it, this 249 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: is the direction that Israel is going to push in. 250 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: And you know, the longer that this goes on, the 251 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: more of Gaza that is rendered completely uninhabitable, the more 252 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: likely they are to succeed. And using this, you know, 253 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: just the ultimate gas lighting of language, claiming that it 254 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: is humanitarian to engage in this final ethnic cleansing of Gaza. 255 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, there's also a reason why net 256 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: Yahoo outside of his ideological commitment to this outcome over 257 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: a long period of time, but guess what, he's also 258 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: fighting for his life. And this is the outcome that 259 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: is extremely popular among Jewish Israelis. Eighty three percent of 260 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: Israelis courting Jewish Israelies, we should say, according to this 261 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: new poll, support the expulsion of Gaza's population under the 262 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: label quote unquote voluntary migration. That's again the you know, 263 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: gas lighting or Wellian term that they're using for this 264 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: voluntary This person opines as in leave Gaza or die 265 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: by starvation, air strikes, diseases, bullets, or under an IDF 266 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: bulldozer Well said, sixty eight percent. You can see this 267 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: this pole that was shared. It's the words are in Hebrew. Obviously, 268 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: sixty eight percent are extremely supportive of this genocidal proposal 269 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: and fifteen percent, I presume are moderately supportive. You add 270 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: those together, you get the eighty three percent who say yes, yay, 271 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: ethnic cleansing. So that's what we're looking at here. At 272 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: the same time, we have some dramatic developments in terms 273 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: of Israeli actions, possibly sparking a wider war. Let me 274 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: put this up on the screen for you. This is incredible. 275 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: So a top Iranian commander assassinated in a reported Israeli airstrike, 276 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: Iran warned Israel will pay for the killing of say 277 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: Ed Rozi Mussavi, senior military advisor known as a close 278 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: companion to the assassinated General Costom Solomani, senior advisor in 279 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: Iran's Revolutionary GUARDCORE, killed an Israeli airstrike outside the Syrian 280 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: capital of Damascus on Monday's according to Irani and state media. 281 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: Three security sources later confirmed say Ed Razzi Musavi's death. 282 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: Two Reuters around State Television interrupted its regularly scheduled program 283 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: to announce Massavi had been killed. The were reported in 284 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: a Revolutionary Guard statement read on the air as a 285 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: brigadier general and one of the Guard's most important figures 286 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: in Syria, responsible for coordinating its military alliance with Iran. 287 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: He was also described as a close companion to Costum 288 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: Soul of Money, the top Irani in general who led 289 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: the Guard's elite could's force until he was killed in 290 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: a US air strike in Iraq in January twenty twenty. 291 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: Undoubtedly the usurper and savage Zionist regime will pay for 292 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: this crime, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi said in Monday's televised statement. 293 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: According to Iran's Tasnim news agency, this action is another 294 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: sign of frustration, helplessness and inability of the occupying Zionist regime. 295 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: No immediate comment from the IDF, but it is widely 296 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: expected and understood that Israel was probably behind this assassination. Israel, 297 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: they say, was bracing for a response by Iran on 298 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: its northern front. The Jerusalem Post report later on Monday, 299 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: citing local media reports. I will also add to that 300 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: there were some comments from Israeli Defense Minister Yoev Galant 301 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: saying we are fighting a war on seven fronts, seven fronts, 302 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: and we have taken action on six of those. So 303 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: this could be one of the fronts that they're referring 304 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: to there in which they've taken action. We also have 305 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: the US, separately, you know, ramping up attacks on these 306 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: Houthi related suicide drones. I think that we shut down 307 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: a dozen of them. That comes as they've been essentially 308 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: blocking shipping through the Red Sea, and it's taking a 309 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: huge toll, especially on the Israeli economy, also partly on 310 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: the global economy in the US. Has marshaled this new 311 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: coalition of the willing to try to restore the ability 312 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: to traverse that shipping lane. Wanted to read for you 313 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: what doctor Parsi had to say about this Israeli assassination 314 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: alleged of that top Irani in general, because I think 315 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: he lays out what they could be up to here, 316 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: what the intent could be, and also what it could 317 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: mean going forward to If you bear with me, I'm 318 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: going to read through this. He says some brief analysis 319 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: and that this assassination was presumably by Israel. Bottom line, 320 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: Israel either killed Massavi as a warning to Iran, given 321 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: Tehran support for the Houthi's targeting of ships in the 322 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: Red Sea, as a provocation to beget an Iranian response 323 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: that would give Israel a pretext to enlarge the war, 324 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: or as a preparatory move to enlarge the war regardless 325 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: of Iran's response. It goes on, it's very likely Israel's 326 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: behind the assassination of Massabi, since it is the only 327 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: power with both a motive and capacity to pull off 328 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: such a killing, not to mention a long history of 329 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: assassinating Iranian operatives. The US has the capacity, but not 330 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: necessarily the motive. The analysis below us on the rather 331 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: safe assumption that Massavi was assassinated by Israel. US intelligence 332 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: believes that Iran has been actively involved in the Huthi 333 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: movements targeting of ships in the Red Sea, which has 334 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: effectively closed the Bob Almandab straight for Israel and costs 335 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: the Israeli economy billions of dollars. The Huthis insists they 336 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: will continue the attack despite threats of retaliation from the US, 337 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: until Israel ceases its bombardment of Gaza. Israel, of course refuses, 338 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: Biden is loaths to press Israel for a ceasefire. From 339 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: Israel's perspective, Iran is not paying a price for its 340 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: alleged role in the Red Sea attacks. The assassination may, 341 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: as a result, be a warning to Iran that Israel's 342 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: capacity and willingness to exact a price from Iran, even 343 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: in areas where the Iranians may have presumed they are safe, 344 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: so that scenario number one. In a second scenario, the 345 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: assassination may be a deliberate provocation to beget an Iranian 346 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: response that would give Israel the pretext to enlarge the war. 347 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: So in this second scenario that he envisions here, this 348 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: is an attempt to intentionally draw Iran into this war, 349 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: sparking a wider regional war, he says, will the Biden 350 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: administration has given Israel complete green light to bomb Gaza 351 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: to Smithers. Biden opposes an expansion of the war sinceuff 352 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: could likely drag the US into it. The debate inside 353 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: the Israel government is increasingly leaning toward expanding the war. 354 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: They've already mobilized three hundred thousand plus troops. There's growing 355 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: belief in Israel it simply is intolerable for Israel to 356 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: live next to Hesbela. They thought they could manage the 357 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: threat from Hamas, and they couldn't. Even though it was 358 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: not Hesbela that attacked Israel in October seventh. The Israeli 359 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: argument is that next time it might be Hesbela, and 360 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: as a result, Israel has no choice but to expand 361 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: the war. But unless there's an attack from Iran or 362 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: Hesbla itself, the US may continue to oppose such a move, 363 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: and we have seen is Israeli's the Israeli government floating 364 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: this sort of trial balloon of oh Hesbela is violating 365 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: this particular UN resolution as if they care about any 366 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: other UN resolution only when it is convenient for them, 367 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: and trying to shop that around as like a pretext 368 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: for potentially more directly attacking Hezbela itself. Of course, they've 369 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: already been skirmishes in that region already, he goes on, 370 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: the assassination of Musabi may cause Iran to retaliate against 371 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: Israel via Hesbela, the reasoning goes, and Israel can then 372 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: use Hesbel's action as a pretext to not only expand 373 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: the war Lebanon, but also force the US to go 374 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: along with it. Lastly, he said there's a third explanation. 375 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: According to Amwajh Media, Mussavi was in charge of facilitating 376 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: the entry of Iran led forces and arms shipments to 377 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: Syria as well as Lebanon's Hesbelah movement. If Israel intends 378 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: to attack Lebanon, taking out Massavi could be a logical 379 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: first step to disrupt the arming of Hesbla as well 380 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: as its supply lines. As such, the assassination may be 381 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: a preparatory move to enlarge the war regardless of Iran's 382 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: response to the killing of Massavi. So in the second scenario, 383 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: it's the intent is to trigger some sort of vitalitary 384 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: response and launch a broader war. Here it's to enlarge 385 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 1: the war regardless of whether Iran responds in a provocative manner. 386 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: All of these scenarios, he says, point to one undeniable reality. 387 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: As long as Biden refuses to pressure Israel to accept 388 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: a ceasefire, in GA's attentions in the region will continue 389 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: to rise, and the Middle East will gravitate towards a 390 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: regional war that very likely will engulf the US as well. 391 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: May think he can control these events that allow Israel 392 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: to slaughter the people in Gazawak, keeping a lid on 393 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: the escalation risk. He is likely wrong, and the American 394 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: people may soon find themselves and yet another unnecessary war 395 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: in the Middle East because of Biden's strategic incompetence. And 396 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 1: I think that lays it out incredibly well the dangers 397 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: that we are facing and the potential risk of this 398 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: broader war, and also lays out the very real possibility 399 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: that Israel is actively courting this broader war. And as 400 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: I said, previously, we already had them sort of workshopping 401 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: this and trial ballooning this with regard to a wider war. 402 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: There have even been comments coming out from top officials, 403 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: perhaps even including net Nyaho if memory serves, saying that 404 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: after the war with Hamas is finished, then they want 405 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: to move on to the war with Hesbola. Now, of course, 406 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: the reality is this hasn't been a war with Hamas. 407 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: It's been a war against the civilian population in Gaza. 408 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: It's been a war intended to provoke a quote shock 409 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: among the civilian population in Gaza. It's been a war 410 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: on the civilian infrastructure in gazamm about to show you 411 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: that as well. And it has been a war with 412 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: the ultimate intent of complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. There 413 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: were comments made previously. I don't know if you guys 414 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: recall this. I'm pretty sure we covered it on the show, saying, hey, 415 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: we could turn Beirut into Gaza. We could do the 416 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: same things in Lebanon that we're doing in Gaza. So 417 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: if that isn't a threat against civilians, I don't know 418 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: what is. And we also have those reports from multiple 419 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: human rights organizations and confirmed by the Washington post of 420 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: white Phiosophus already having been dropped on civilians in Lebanon, 421 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: in southern Lebanon in contravention of the rules of war. 422 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: So a lot to be very very concerned about there. Lastly, 423 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: just to put things in perspective and kind of tie 424 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: things together with where we started about the big picture. 425 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: What we are all witnessing unfolding before our eyes here. 426 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm paywalled. Is the utter destruction, the utter 427 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: destruction that is unlike anything that we have seen this century. 428 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: So they compared the washingmtposts compared in this report that 429 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm paywalld from. Sorry guys. They confirmed that they looked 430 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: at the satellite data and the number of buildings that 431 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: have been destroyed and damaged. They compared it to Raka, 432 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: They compared it to Aleppo, they compared it to Mosseil. 433 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: These are considered the three most devastated cities in bombings 434 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: that have occurred in this century. And they found that 435 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: in just seven weeks time. Because this data is a 436 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: little old, so this doesn't even take into account recent 437 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 1: bombings week's time. This assault on Gaza has been more devastating, 438 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: just in sheer numbers of buildings destroyed, damaged than any 439 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: of those conflicts to come as no surprise when you 440 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: consider the fact that you have this AI driven what's 441 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: being called mass assassination factory. Doesn't come as a surprise 442 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: when you know nine seven to two magazine is reporting 443 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: about these quote unquote power targets that Israel is intentionally 444 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: going after to create that shock in the civilian population. 445 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: Power targets or things like high rise apartment buildings. They 446 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: are things like hospitals, other public civilian infrastructure. Gaza City, 447 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: of course basically leveled now, I mean just utterly destroyed, 448 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,479 Speaker 1: completely uninhabitable. And also when you consider things like previous 449 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: reports we've talked about the number of two thousand pound 450 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: bombs that have been dropped here, the fact that half 451 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: more than half of the bombs that have been quote 452 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: unquote dumb bombs not targeted. And when we were fighting 453 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: in Mosul, which was incredibly devastating to civilian life and 454 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: civilian infrastructure, certainly our military, which has hardly been a 455 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: paragon of perfect moral warfighting, determined that five hundred pound 456 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: bombs were the absolute macs that you should be dropping 457 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: in this sort of dense urban environment, and in Gaza routinely. 458 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: Israel is dropping two thousand pound bombs that we, the 459 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: United States of America, continue to provide them in spite 460 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: of all of our oh the civilians, Oh bomb a 461 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: little nicer. Oh maybe wrap things up in the new 462 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: year at some point. Bullshit, bullshit. All of that should 463 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: be seen as attempting to buy some cover to enable 464 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: Israel to continue this bombing longer, longer, when already again 465 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: in just the first seven weeks, more destructive than any 466 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: other war this century. So that's where we are, guys. 467 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: Appreciate you as always. You know, obviously this news is 468 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: incredibly dark, I do want to say, because I always 469 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: think him a lot about this over Christmas, in the 470 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: holiday myself. We are seeing the worst, absolute worst of humanity, 471 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: seeing things that you know, I hoped had been consigned 472 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,959 Speaker 1: to pages of history books. Clearly they hadn't been. But 473 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: I also think about, you know that, I think about 474 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: the popees being out, I think about that reverend that 475 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: I played in the beginning his comments, and I really 476 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: think about the courage of you know, the doctors and 477 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: nurses in these hospitals in Gaza, working in the most 478 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: unimaginable circumstances. Sacrificing their own lives, putting their families lives 479 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: at risk, to try to care for people as best 480 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: they possibly can. I mean, I literally can't. I can't 481 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: imagine being a doctor nor situations, let alone a war zone, 482 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: let alone the most destructive warzone in this entire century. 483 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: Just absolute heroes. I think about the journalists, more than 484 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: a hundred of whom have been killed, many of them 485 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: intentionally targeted for assassination, and their family members as well, 486 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: The risk that they are taking to show the world 487 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: what is happening here. Just absolute heroism. And I think 488 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: about just the ordinary people trying to survive, just trying 489 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: to keep it together and get day to day and 490 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: find a little bit of food so their kids don't 491 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: starve to death. I mean, over half a million people 492 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: now starving in Gaza. There's a lot of human bravery, 493 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: human heroism here as well. So in any case, love 494 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: you guys. I hope you are enjoying some lovely holiday time, 495 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: that you are safe and enjoying some blessings of the 496 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: season with your family and with your loved ones. And 497 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: I'll make sure to keep you guys updated if anything 498 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: else needs to be brought to you take care
