Mr. Prime Minister, as you know, a number of the protesters are protesting the actions by Israel. Even the Secretary of State saying, quote, far too many Palestinian civilians have been killed. Let me ask you this. How many civilian deaths are you willing to bear in order to achieve your [00:00:19] ultimate goal of eradicating Hamas? If I had my way, there wouldn't be a single civilian death. If I had my way, no civilians would be killed. If Israel had its way and our calls would be heeded. They'll all be out of harm's way. [00:00:34] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did his best to launder his reputation as he engages in the slaughter of Palestinian civilians, and that continues not only in Gaza, but the brutality against Palestinians in the West Bank continues as well. [00:00:50] In reality, the high volume of civilian casualties, along with the continued and relentless airstrikes and bombardment of the Gaza Strip, prove otherwise. So let me make my case. Let me make my case. So the latest controversial act by the IDF under the leadership [00:01:09] of Benjamin Netanyahu, has to do with one of the largest hospitals in Gaza, known as Al-Shifa. In Gaza City, Al-Shifa hospital is caught in Israel's ground offensive aimed at destroying Hamas, and the compound has been repeatedly hit by strikes, [00:01:25] one of which Hamas health officials said destroyed the cardiac ward on Sunday. Gaza City's Al-Quds hospital went out of service due to lack of generator fuel, the Palestinian Red Crescent said. Now, witnesses at Al-Shifa told AFP by [00:01:43] phone on Sunday that violent fighting had raged around the hospital the whole night. Inside, doctors said Saturday that two babies had died in the neonatal unit after power to their incubators was cut off, and a man had also died [00:01:58] when his ventilator shut down. I mean, what could Israel do, right? We've been told that they believe that Hamas is operating in the tunnels underneath the hospital. So of course, of course they have to bomb the hospital. Of course, they have to cut off power and resources to that hospital and every [00:02:16] other hospital in the Gaza Strip. Of course, they have to do that. God forbid they send IDF soldiers in the tunnels to actually fight the Hamas militants that they claim are operating in the tunnels under the hospitals. God forbid they do that. Instead, they do this. Let's take a look. Health organization is now saying Al-Shifa hospital, the largest, most important [00:02:36] medical facility in the Gaza Strip, is effectively no longer functional. There is no running water, there is no electricity. There is the bare minimum of medical operations going on at this point. There are some 600 patients inside the hospital. [00:02:52] Andrea. But no case is more urgent than the dozens of prematurely born babies who were being held in the neonatal unit there. The electricity is gone. Those newborns, some of them younger than this war itself, [00:03:07] have been taken out of their incubators. They were, last we heard, being held in the surgery unit at Al-Shifa hospital, dozens of tiny, tiny Gazans on two beds being kept together, swaddled to try to keep them warm. In some cases, medical officials respirating them with their hands, trying [00:03:27] to keep them breathing, basically doing everything they can to keep them alive. Hospital officials tell us at least three of these newborns have died so far. Benjamin Netanyahu and the current Israeli far right government. They're monsters, okay? They don't care. [00:03:44] They will justify the slaughter of those babies by just simply regurgitating the same tired talking point over and over and over again. Israel has a right to defend itself. They're using Palestinian civilians as human shields, human shields, human [00:04:00] shields, human shields, human shields. All we have to do is repeat that like robots and completely deny the humanity of the Palestinian civilians that are being bombarded by airstrikes day in and day out. Okay, there are dead bodies laying all over the Gaza Strip, and Palestinians [00:04:19] who want to bury their loved ones are terrified to go retrieve those bodies because they know that they might die, that they might be attacked, that they might be fired at if they do that. Okay. So their loved ones bodies are on the roads, just rotting away, decomposing. [00:04:37] But you know, Israel has a right to defend itself. And I guess they get to defend themselves, defend themselves however they want any war crime they'd like to do. We get to hold Israel to a much lower standard when it comes to war crimes, and even lower standard than Americans held their own government. [00:04:55] Jake, what do you have to say? So a lot. First off, would you guys do it? I'm asking you, as human beings, let's say that you thought they were terrible guys. Just imagine the worst guys you could imagine. I don't know how many of them to ten. Let's just assume that Israel is telling the truth. [00:05:11] Let's assume America is telling the truth, that there is a group of Hamas guys underneath the hospital. Let's let's say it's a big number 20, okay? And there's hundreds of sick people in the hospital and wounded, and there's those babies. Would you bomb the hospital? Would you shoot at the hospital? [00:05:28] Would you cut off the water and electricity to the hospital, knowing that those babies are going to die, and a lot of those sick people are going to die? I wouldn't do it. I'd say I'm going to find a different way to get those bad guys, but I'm not going to kill the people inside the hospital. [00:05:43] And by the way, how does that help get the terrorists underneath the hospital? It doesn't. And how does dropping. A bomb or cutting off the water and electricity to a hospital, where then you lose the power to the incubators? How does that get the terrorists underneath the hospital that are in the tunnels, that have nothing to do with even the electricity [00:06:00] or the water connected to the hospital? The tunnels go all across. Even if it were true, how does it help get them? It doesn't. Would you do it anyway? Would you kill those dozens or hundreds of people? I wouldn't do it. That's sick. What kind of weirdo vengeance is that? [00:06:15] Okay, so then let's go to the excuses that I mentioned. Look, I keep bringing this up because it's unfortunately a haunting analogy. And I know because I grew up with Turkish propaganda and the Ottoman Empire used to say we had a right to defend ourselves. [00:06:32] The Armenians attacked us from within when we were in the middle of fighting off foreign armies like the Russians. We had a right to defend ourselves, and the Armenian terrorists were hiding inside the civilians. So what do we. We had a right to defend ourselves by killing all those people. [00:06:48] And we got a couple of the Armenian rebels that were rebelling against the empire. - We had a right. - Can I jump in on that, Jake? Because the exact same excuses were used by the Turks in regard to their slaughter of Armenian civilians. They argued, well, the group of people, Armenians who we had been oppressing [00:07:07] as religious minorities, they fought back with the help of Russia. They fought back and they committed atrocities. And so that that gave them in their minds the right and the excuse to slaughter 1.5 million Armenians. [00:07:24] And by the way, that was 1.5 million Armenians. Do you want to know how many Palestinians have already been internally displaced in Gaza? 1.5 million. Okay, nowhere to go. They're told to go to the south, and then the South gets bombed. They get bombed as they're fleeing the north to the south, they don't have [00:07:43] enough humanitarian aid, not even close. None of the hospitals are operational. None of them take it away. I mean, what exactly would you call that? How exactly are people supposed to survive when not a single hospital is operational? Because they won't allow fuel into the Gaza Strip? [00:07:58] - Explain that to me. - So 1.5 million people displaced 45%. It's about half, obviously, of homes destroyed or damaged. That means like it's pretty. They wiped out the whole place. 18 hospitals already closed, 40 health [00:08:15] centers already closed, 1100 civilians dead, at least 4600 children dead. Let me ask you guys another question. Please be honest with yourselves. If Hamas had done the same to Israel. What would people call it if they said, well, we were trying to target Israeli [00:08:33] soldiers and we got a bunch of Israeli soldiers, but we killed 11,000 Israelis, and we moved one and one half million of them, and we wiped out half the homes in Israel, half the homes, and we bombed a whole bunch of hospitals. But hey, those people were collateral damage in our fight. [00:08:51] What would we call that as they bombed and bombed Jews and Israelis? We'd probably call it a genocide, right? But so but when Israel does it to Gaza, does it to the Palestinians. Oh, you have nothing but nonsense talking points. [00:09:07] So look, if it breaks your heart to hear this, if you're on, you know, on the side of continuing to kill Palestinians inside Gaza. I'm sorry, but you got to look into your soul and say, is this okay? Is this okay in your name? Are you comfortable with it? I'm not comfortable with it. [00:09:22] I hope to God you're not comfortable with it, but I've got more. So if you're an evangelical Christian in America and you claim to be pro-life your whole life, you see those babies dying? Are you still okay with it because you think Jesus is going to come back and you need the slaughter of the Jews and the Muslims in the area, [00:09:39] and the two giant conflict like this, so that you can get the end times. And Jesus is it. Are you so are you pro-life or aren't you pro-life? Are you okay with this? If you're okay with this and you really think you're a Christian, look in the mirror. Look in the mirror. Okay, I want to give credit to MSNBC for running that report. [00:09:56] I want to give Andrea Mitchell credit for not only running that, but then aggressively questioning US officials about their excuses, saying basically something similar to what Anna said, which is even if you thought there were terrorists under the hospital, does that justify killing people [00:10:11] inside the hospital? And then Netanyahu, if you're being honest about it right now, he has become Hamas's best friend. Why? Number one, nobody's talking about the savagery of Hamas anymore, because now Netanyahu has killed ten times as many civilians. [00:10:31] So now the whole world is busy condemning Israel. Israel had everybody on their side and everybody was condemning Hamas, and Netanyahu took that goodwill and burned it, and instead he killed ten times as many civilians. And now the whole world is condemning Israel. [00:10:48] And Hamas has got to be thinking, how do we get so lucky? And he's barely gotten any of the Hamas fighters, and all he's doing is killing Palestinian civilians. And Hamas is thinking, oh, when they leave, we're going to be in much stronger shape, much, much stronger, because every Palestinian in Gaza now [00:11:05] is going to be enraged with this. Can you imagine being inside Gaza and not being enraged with Israel? And then finally on the Hamas issue, now the whole world is talking about this occupation is unbelievably brutal. [00:11:20] So not the US, though, the US. Officials, the. US officials, terrorist sympathizers. Yeah, yeah. And so so if, if, if you were trying to help Hamas, you couldn't help him any more than Netanyahu just helped him. So let me ask you guys something, okay? [00:11:36] Because I am curious and I'm going to go to a UN report. This is a UN report. Okay? So anyone who's already jumping down our throats is like, This is Hamas propaganda. Sit down. You're going to be all right. Okay. Let's go to graphics 13 and 14. Because I'm curious, [00:11:51] were Hamas militants operating under every single one of these buildings? According to a recently released report from the UN, surveying a preliminary aerial assessment of structural damage in Gaza, 45% of the homes in Gaza have been [00:12:09] destroyed or damaged. 45% of the homes in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged. More than 40,000 destroyed housing units have been destroyed, and and over 222,000 have been partially damaged, the report found. [00:12:24] So were Hamas militants operating in every one of those buildings that were destroyed by the IDF. Is that what happened? I'm curious. I'm curious because that's the excuse that we get, by the way, we're told over and over again, don't trust anything that comes out of Hamas. [00:12:40] Don't trust anything that comes out of Gaza because it's controlled by Hamas. Am I supposed to take every talking point coming from the IDF and the Israeli government? At face value? They just justify everything they do by saying, oh, there are Hamas militants operating in the tunnels underneath. [00:12:55] First of all, can I see some evidence of that? Is there any proof or are we just supposed to take what Israel says at face value? Because I refuse to do that. I mean, Netanyahu, in the context of that interview that we just showed you lied incessantly. In fact, why don't I show you the next video where he makes a pretty bold claim [00:13:11] about what Israel was willing to do for the very hospitals that have been brutalized by the IDF. Let's watch. Let's talk about what's happening at Al-Shifa hospital. There are reports that there's been a loss of power, which has caused the death of patients and even some infants. [00:13:27] And I know that Israel has said Hamas is headquartered there. Even if that is the case, does that justify jeopardizing the lives of sick people and babies? Mr. Prime Minister. Now, on the contrary, we offered actually last night to give them enough fuel [00:13:46] to operate the hospital, operate the incubators and so on, because we have we have obviously no battle with patients or with civilians at all. And I think every civilian death, every dead baby is a tragedy. But that tragedy should be placed squarely at the responsibility of Hamas, [00:14:01] that is keeping its military installations inside hospitals, its command posts, inside hospitals, inside schools, inside Unwra UN facilities and so on. So we obviously don't want to give them immunity. But at the same time, we're sensitive to this issue. So we offer this help. They refuse it. [00:14:19] He's a liar. He's an absolute liar. In fact, here's what the director of the hospital had to say, not Hamas. The director of Al-Shifa hospital, Al-Shifa Director Mohammed Abu Selmiya, told journalists the Israeli Israeli claims were lies. [00:14:37] The 300l the army said had been delivered would power generators for no more than a quarter of an hour anyway, he said. So maybe they maybe they did deliver a tiny amount of fuel just to save face. Just so Netanyahu can go on national television in the United States [00:14:54] of America, which is aiding and abetting the slaughter of innocent civilians, to pretend as though he's a humanitarian. He's actually looking out for the Palestinian civilians. But the numbers would say otherwise, wouldn't they, Jake? Because you look at the numbers, let's go to graphic ten. Israel's relentless campaign in response to what Hamas did, has killed at least [00:15:13] 11,180 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, and including 4609 children. Oh, what a humanitarian. You know, Netanyahu is. He's so kind for cutting off fuel, humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip [00:15:30] for displacing 1.5 million Gazans from northern Gaza. And then. Receding to bomb southern Gaza as these people were fleeing for their lives. What a humanitarian. Wow. We should all give him a round of applause and take everything he says at face value. Yeah, so there's no dispute that 300l would power the hospital [00:15:49] for about a quarter of an hour. So that's some sort of sick joke and obvious, obvious propaganda. And Netanyahu knows that. And he goes, you see how cool and collected he is? He goes on TV and he's like, we offered them fuel for the hospital. They wouldn't take it. Absurd. [00:16:05] And by the way, everybody in the hospital says that's nothing but a complete lie. And even if it was true again, it would last a quarter of an hour. He's taunting them. Yeah. I'm killing the people inside the hospital. Ha, ha. I gave you an extra quarter hour to live before they all die. [00:16:21] It's unbelievably sick. Not in my name. So wonderful. Jewish protesters in America have been saying, not in our name, not in our name, but all Americans should say not in our name, because our government is helping them to do this. Then they say, oh, well, we question the numbers because technically, technically, [00:16:40] Hamas run Gaza and these hospitals are inside Gaza. So the Palestinian Health Ministry is connected to Hamas. So we don't believe the numbers. Okay. So but everybody knows the numbers are relatively correct, meaning they're in the ballpark. The United Nations has confirmed them. So what's your big claim? It's not 11,000. [00:16:58] It's 10,500. You didn't bomb one hospital, but you bombed the other 18 hospitals. How does any of that help? It doesn't help at all. It's just an incredibly weak excuse to try to deny culpability. [00:17:14] Oh, don't believe any of the numbers. Don't believe your lying eyes. Don't believe the dead. Babies don't believe anything. Only believe our propaganda. Sorry, we don't agree. We don't believe you. And then the last lie is no intent. We had no intent to kill civilians. We just happened to destroy half the buildings in Gaza. [00:17:30] And we happen to kill 11,000 civilians because the Israeli Defense Forces, apparently, according to their own supporters, are the most incompetent military in the history of the world. They just can't shoot straight. They just keep killing and killing and killing civilians. Oops. Every time it's an accident. [00:17:48] Every time. No, sorry. A couple of times they got a couple of Hamas guys. So what, 98%? Now, what number would you like 95%? 90% of the time, it's collateral damage. We just accidentally happened to drop bombs all over Gaza, and we happen to kill civilians ad nauseam, but we didn't intend it. [00:18:07] If you think they didn't intend it, you're a schmuck. You're an. And you're so biased you can't see straight. I'm sorry. I love your brothers and sisters, but you can't possibly think that they didn't intend this. The World Health Organization said the situation inside the Al-Shifa hospital [00:18:22] was dire and perilous, and it was not functioning as a hospital anymore. That's the World Health Organization, not Hamas, not the Gaza Health Ministry. Okay, the World Health Organization, let's go to graphic. Six. People fleeing the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City were shot at by surrounding [00:18:39] Israeli forces, Doctors Without Borders claimed on Saturday. They're trying real hard not to kill civilians, guys. They don't want to kill civilians. Their heart breaks for the civilians who are dying as a as a as part of this war. At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they [00:18:57] attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital. MSF that's Doctors Without Borders in the region, urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals for an immediate cease fire and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff and patients. [00:19:13] I mean, you have organizations not tied to Hamas in any way. These are international organizations like the World Health Organization, Doctors Without Borders, telling you exactly what's happening on the ground, telling you that civilians are being targeted, that hospitals are being bombed, [00:19:28] refugee camps getting bombed not once, not twice, but repeatedly. And we're supposed to sit here and stomach the lies told to us by the very man who failed to keep his own civilians safe in Israel on October 7th. [00:19:44] We're supposed to take him at face value. No, I refuse, he's a liar. And he doesn't give a damn about those civilians. His actions speak louder than words. Any final thoughts, Jake? Guys, every day that our government, the United States government, greenlights, this massacre is a day that more babies are going to die. [00:20:03] More children are going to die. Imagine. Imagine being in that rubble. Imagine being in that city and there's nowhere to run. There's nowhere to hide. There's no electricity, there's no water. People are starting to starve. And everyone inside Gaza, from journalists to American nurses to Doctors Without [00:20:19] Borders to the United Nations to the World Health Organization are all reporting the same thing nonstop civilian deaths. And there's nowhere to run because it's an open air prison. They're just dropping bombs and firing indiscriminately. [00:20:35] Yes, I said indiscriminately, okay. And I don't care if your feelings are hurt. I care about those dead children. And us is now saying, oh, yeah, those bombs that are being dropped in your head made in the USA. We're going to send them another $14 billion to kill more Palestinians. [00:20:54] No, not in our name. Not in our name, do we? That $14 billion should not be sent. We should not send a single dollar to the State of Israel from here on. Otherwise we're culpable. Otherwise the whole world, not just the Muslim world, the whole world looks [00:21:11] at us and goes, what kind of a monsters would greenlight these massacres and send them more money to murder more civilians? And then don't pretend. Oh, I don't know why people hate us. - I don't know why I'm. - Jealous of our democracy. [00:21:27] Oh, yeah, they're jealous of our democracy. Yeah. - Okay. - And by the way, last thing. And occupation. Are you insane? Are you insane to say that that people should be brutalized like this? Are you insane? You're going to say no. We're going to keep them in open air prisons. [00:21:44] We're going to imprison the Palestinians, and we're going to commit any violence we like, any time we want on them all accidentally. Is the occupation of 56 years an accident? No. You are a. [00:21:59] Jews across the world through time have been the oppressed. And my heart goes out to the Jewish community for all of the oppression that they have suffered. Unfortunately, now Israel in this different situation has become the oppressors, and there's really no argument about that at all. [00:22:19] The Palestinians are not occupying Israel. The Palestinians are not preventing an Israeli state. It is the Israelis that are occupying and brutalizing the Palestinians. They have enormous military might, and they have the United States of [00:22:36] America, the greatest military ever built, all behind them. They have all of the might pretending that Israel is the victim in what was happening in Gaza. Oh, poor little Israel. Poor tiny little Israel with its giant bombs and its giant military. [00:22:54] They're the victims. As you destroy half of Gaza, as you kill all those civilians. No, they were the victims on October 7th, and our hearts went out to them. Now they are not the victims. They are the oppressors. And the occupation is nothing but pure oppression. [00:23:11] If you tell yourself pretty little lies about, oh, they're Muslim savages. They needed to be oppressed so they know their place. You don't realize you're being deeply, deeply racist. And I won't stand for it. We shouldn't send Israel a single more dollar. [00:23:27] I want Israel to be a beautiful, great country. But this ain't it. And as long as their government is brutalizing Palestinians and killing civilians and keeping them imprisoned for decade after decade, not a single dollar, not a single dollar should go to Israel. And by the way, you're crazy to visit Israel now. [00:23:43] No one should go to Israel. No one at all. Why would I go support Israel after what that's like sanctioning their government's brutality of Palestinians? No. They should be cut off from the whole world until they stop being the oppressors. And then welcome back. [00:23:59] And we love you, brothers and sisters, because we're all humans at the end of the day. Treat the Palestinians as humans, and then you're welcome back to the rest of the world. Until then, you are clearly the oppressors, and it's not even close. Hey, thanks for watching the video.
