An Israeli bombardment also reportedly damaged Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza. That hospital is one of the last remaining functioning medical facilities in the northern Gaza Strip. It is clearer now than ever before that Israel will not allow [00:00:18] Palestinian civilians to return to their homes in northern Gaza. They are clearing it out, and it's actually been announced that they will not allow Palestinians to return to their homes or what remains of their homes, because, as we know, the majority of the buildings in the Gaza Strip, [00:00:35] the entirety of the Gaza Strip have been leveled by Israeli forces. But in a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brigadier General Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas of northern Gaza twice, [00:00:52] such as the Jabalia camp, there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes. Now, Cohen also said that humanitarian aid would only be allowed into the southern portion of the Gaza Strip. No humanitarian aid is allowed into the northern part, and he argues that there [00:01:12] are no civilians left in northern Gaza. And while the international humanitarian law experts are arguing that this breaks all sorts of international laws, it's unlikely that anyone will do a damn thing about it, especially the Biden administration, which has stood by and allowed Israel [00:01:30] to do essentially anything and everything it wants in Gaza, in the West Bank, in Lebanon. But now Cohen is also arguing that his statements were taken out of context. Brigadier General Cohen's comments had been taken out of context during a discussion about Jabalya, and did not reflect the IDF's objectives and values. [00:01:49] The spokesperson also said that the briefing had been on background, and that the general should not have been quoted in Hebrew media reports that emerged. So in other words, we really didn't mean for this to get out. And it's unfortunate that it did. Okay. [00:02:05] So I'm going to go ahead and believe that they're carrying out what's been shown to be carried out in northern Gaza. And we'll get to some of those, you know, details in a moment. But both the Israeli military and government have repeatedly denied that they're forcing Palestinians out of the northern Gaza area. [00:02:25] Now, we have evidence. Rights groups and aid agencies have alleged that despite the denials, Israel appears to be carrying out a version of the so-called generals plan, something we reported on last month, actually, which proposes giving civilians [00:02:41] a deadline to leave and then treating anyone who remains as a combatant. Israel cut the territory in two earlier this year by creating what it calls the Netzarim corridor, separating what was once the densely populated Gaza City [00:02:58] from the rest of the strip. In Tuesday's briefing, Cohen also confirmed that northern Gaza has now been split again to divide Gaza City from the more rural north. So that's 400,000 civilians that remain in northern Gaza, according to UN estimates. [00:03:17] So to say that there are no civilians left in northern Gaza is is a lie. And the bombardments, the bombings, the military activity by the IDF continues in northern Gaza and it's been devastating. We're going to get into that in just a moment. - First you jump in. - Okay. So first of all, this General Cohen has clarified the matter. [00:03:36] It's exactly as we told you guys. That is textbook ethnic cleansing. We're going to remove everyone from northern Gaza, and then they're going to resettle it and they're going to take it. That is what this war has been about from day one. [00:03:53] So, this whole thing about self-defense, it was never, ever, ever about self-defense. It was always a plan to take this land. In fact, the great legendary IDF, Mossad, Shin Bet. [00:04:09] Etc. Well, they knew about October 7th. They've admitted that they knew about October 7th and they didn't do anything about it. Is it because they knew? Oh, we need an excuse. Oh, it was the Palestinians that made us slaughter them. It was the Palestinians who made us murder them and ethnically cleanse them, [00:04:28] so we could take more of their land for safety and breathing room. So, look, there's no more excuses left. But I will preview this for you now. Soon the talking points will shift from we are not going to take land. [00:04:45] That is outrageous and anti-Semitic. How dare you say that to. Well, of course we're going to take the land. There's no civilians left there. All 400,000 are terrorists. When he says there's no more civilians left there, that doesn't mean there's nobody there. That means we're going to kill them all and call them terrorists. [00:05:03] So remember what the most critical part of what Anna just read to you is when the guy who said, oh no, the general should not have said that said he said it in a background briefing. What that means is, it's not that he didn't say it. [00:05:18] He did say it. It's not that he's not a top Israeli general. He is. It's not that we didn't mean it. We do. It's just that it wasn't supposed to come out. It was in a background briefing. We're not, we're not. We haven't shifted our talking points yet. Soon we'll have all of our propagandists all over television and Piers Morgan. [00:05:37] ET cetera. And we'll have them telling you, of course, we had to take the land. It's because of the terrorist. The terrorist? That's why we slaughtered all the civilians. - I don't even. - Know why they bother lying. It's not like Biden's going to do anything about it. Kamala Harris partly lost the presidential race because the Muslim American Arab [00:05:55] American vote dwindled due to the lack of willingness to commit to holding American weapons as leverage to rein in what Israel is currently doing. So like, why even lie? I mean, the moneyed interests already bought up our politicians. [00:06:10] You guys can do whatever you want. You can commit any war crimes. The international community won't do a damn thing about it, because, I mean, how could they? Israel is backed by the top military power in the country. In the world. And that's the United States, of course. So, I mean, we are currently funding the slaughter of so many innocent people. [00:06:28] We are aiding and abetting a country, a government that is currently stealing land. And this is all happening under a Democratic administration's watch. So and you make the best point there. They don't. Israel doesn't need to bother lying anymore. They could just say, we bought Joe Biden, we bought Kamala Harris, [00:06:44] and we bought Donald Trump. What are you going to do about it? Nothing you could do about it now that Trump's coming in. First of all, they announced this after Trump wins because they're like, oh, there's no rules left now. Boom we're free. Well why do you think Netanyahu backed Trump? I mean, he has Biden and Kamala Harris completely under his control. [00:07:01] Why did he bother backing Trump? Trump's more of a wild card because Biden and Kamala Harris are at least going to huff and puff before they let them annex that land. Right. It's not going to mean anything. Anna's right. I mean, they haven't stopped them 1% yet. And you think Joe Biden, they lost the election. [00:07:17] He's free to do anything he likes, according to the Supreme Court. He can't even be held liable for anything he does, let alone normal, decent things to do like this. Right? You think he's going to change? He's not going to change 1%. But Trump, Netanyahu thinks this. Whether it's true or not, we're going to find out. [00:07:33] Netanyahu thinks, oh, I made a deal with Trump. He's going to let me annex that land. He's not going to do anything about it. Great. I got to steal more land. And if you're a supporter of Israel and you're saying that it's outrageous to say that they're stealing land, then promise me that if Israel moves in settlers into that land and starts [00:07:50] stealing it, that you're going to object. You're not going to, are you? Then you're going to shift to your new excuse of the Palestinian civilians are all terrorists. So they made us kill them and steal all of their land. I mean, safety, self-defense. Now, you see all the goddamn lies and then Netanyahu, Fired Yoav Galant, [00:08:11] his defense secretary. And that's because Galant was we didn't want to go back to getting into occupying Palestinians. ET cetera. He was a slight barrier. It's not like it's a good guy. Galant carried out this genocide. [00:08:27] Right. But he's like, oh, you only want to do genocide, and you don't want to steal all the Palestinian land and grind them into the goddamn ground and murder them all. Okay. You're fired. So. Okay. Congratulations. And now Trump's going to come in here and he's going to let Israel do whatever [00:08:43] the hell he wants, just like Biden. Let's be clear. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. And but at the same time, why did Netanyahu back Trump? It doesn't matter. They're both the exact same when it comes to Israel. Like nothing gets under my skin more than knowing, like we've just we've just witnessed Biden allow Netanyahu to commit the most horrendous atrocities. [00:09:02] And we're trying to pretend like Trump would be worse. How could it possibly get worse than this? They've been annexing the West Bank. Here's who's not dumb. As much as I hate that evil guy, Netanyahu is not a sucker. He's not like, oh golly gee, I'll just back Trump, [00:09:18] even though he's riskier for no reason. No, he has a play. For whatever reason, Netanyahu thinks Biden and Kamala Harris would not have let him annex that land, I guess. Or or maybe they would have drawn a line somewhere northern Gaza, southern Lebanon, a giant war with Iran. [00:09:35] He thinks Netanyahu thinks Trump is not going to draw any lines. He's going to fund all of my wars. He's going to let me attack Iran like nuts. He's going to let me start a giant war in the Middle East, and he's going to let me occupy and steal any Palestinian land I like. - And that is a fair assumption. - That is a fair assumption. [00:09:52] Is your assumption that Biden would stop him in doing any of that, or Kamala Harris would stop him in doing any. Of that because they've shown no inclination to. Exactly. You're right. And that's why she lost the Dearborn, Michigan by a 2 to 1 margin. Like an idiot. Because she loves her donors so much. So I got no love for Biden and Harris, who's fully funded this genocide. [00:10:10] But I'm not saying that they've been great. I'm saying that Netanyahu clearly thinks that Trump is going to let him do worse. That is definitely why this has started so. But either way, it doesn't matter. Anna is right. Joe Biden's not going to stop this. [00:10:26] You think he's going to cut the funding now or cut the weapons? Now that we know they're going to try to annex northern Gaza? I mean. Joe Biden circumvented congressional approval to get more military aid to Israel without congressional approval. [00:10:42] Okay. Like Biden has destroyed his legacy. This is his legacy. This is who Biden is. And Kamala Harris says that she wouldn't have done anything differently had she been elected president. So let me give you some updates on what's happening in northern Gaza. [00:10:57] Let's put the B-roll up so you can see the latest footage of, you know, the beautiful skyline in Gaza. And of course, what I mean by that is it's been completely leveled. There is no skyline. Every building gone, gone, gone. - All right. - So we use the term fascist in America. [00:11:15] This is what fascists do. They destroy an entire area and murder people inside of it. Jesus Christ, if this isn't fascism, what is? Israel. Are you proud? Are you proud of the monsters you have become? Look at this place. [00:11:31] Now they're going to murder everyone inside northern Gaza. Go ahead. Anna. 15 people were recently killed in an Israeli airstrike in the northern town of Beit Lahiya. The director of the Kamal Odwan hospital there posted a video showing patients [00:11:48] fleeing the top floors of the hospital due to an Israeli air strike and artillery fire. On Wednesday, social media footage also showed waves of several dozen displaced people carrying their children and rucksacks and walking south [00:12:04] through flattened areas of Gaza City. And many told reporters and the Associated Press that they haven't eaten for days because of the lack of humanitarian aid that's reaching the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Now civilians are also getting killed at a rapid pace in Lebanon as well. [00:12:22] Let's not forget about that. Israel's war with Hezbollah, now in its second month, shows no signs of slowing or stopping. At least 30 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Barja, near Beirut on Tuesday night, with rescue [00:12:38] efforts continuing into Wednesday. Many of those killed were women and children because, of course they were. And that's according to a local municipality employee. That same employee further stated that this was a civilian building in a civilian neighborhood. There were no indications of anything to do with Hezbollah or weapons. [00:12:57] We don't know why they struck. What we saw were women, children and civilians that were killed. So this continues. I mean, the carnage continues, and I have no reason to believe that the [00:13:14] Israeli government It will feel hindered by the Biden administration or the upcoming second term of Donald Trump. And it's devastating to know that we Americans are the ones who, you know, whether we like it or not, are funding this. [00:13:30] Our government is supporting this and that. We as American voters don't even have an option in our electoral system for candidates that would maybe do something a little different in regard to our foreign policy to Israel. Okay, so last couple of things here. First of all, go to YouTube members account one said Kushner Estates. [00:13:50] Remember Jared Kushner, the son in law of Donald Trump, said that Gaza would make for a very good waterfront property and that they could make a lot of money if, if they just built beautiful tourist areas there. Of course, after they get rid of the meddlesome Palestinian civilians there. [00:14:07] And so, right before the election, Jared Kushner announced that he is 100% against the cease fire. There are no Hamas leaders left. They're all dead. There are no Hezbollah leaders left. They're all dead. There's nothing left to kill. But it doesn't matter, Kushner says no ceasefire because count one, you're right. [00:14:26] He's got buildings to build in there after the ethnic cleansing of Gaza is over. So that monster is coming back into office and they're they're going to be in in great shape there. But, you know, again, to Anna's point, well, Biden's got three months left. Why doesn't he say I'm cutting all their funding. [00:14:43] Why doesn't he do anything? And by the way, these are all like you'll see with your own eyes. You'll see that they will annex northern Gaza. They will resettle it and that Trump will allow them. Trump will give them endless funding. And and Jared Kushner will do his plans, and you will see that Biden will, [00:15:00] in the three months he has left, will do absolutely nothing to stop them, because as long as the donors keep bribing these guys, they're genocidal maniacs. So if you think that Biden and Kamala Harris are moral people, you are going to be proven wrong in the next three months. They're not going to do anything to stop this, anything at all. [00:15:18] Even though they lost, they have nothing left to lose and Biden's nearly dead. It does. Nothing matters. Their slavish devotion to donors is unbreakable, totally unbreakable. And when Trump gets in, he's going to do the same or worse. [00:15:33] And he's promised it. He's apparently promised to Netanyahu, who certainly promised to the Adelson family that gave him $300 million over the course of these last three elections. So corruption in America is 100% complete. We're occupied territory, and, well, don't mess with the Israelis. [00:15:48] And maybe northern Gaza is coming to a place near you soon because there isn't anything they can't do because they have 100%. Both bought both parties, so it should Chitalu another YouTube member [00:16:03] has the only solution left says yes, boycott Israel, of course, of course. What decent human being would buy Israeli products, send money to Israel, travel to Israel to a genocidal state that revels in their fascism and their terrorism. [00:16:21] And he's in the middle of stealing more land and starting more wars and mega guys. Okay, let's see what happens. Your beloved Trump, you told us 2000 times over, was anti-war and that he was America first and he wouldn't fund all this. We're all going to get to find out together. [00:16:37] And by the way, if Trump doesn't and he reverses course, Democrats are warning you right now, I'm going to give him 1,000,000% credit, because I don't give a goddamn if they're Republican or Democrat. What do you do the right thing or do you do the wrong thing? [00:16:52] If Trump is actually anti-war and he doesn't fund Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing. If he makes history as the first U.S. President who's willing to check Israel and not allow it to do anything and everything it wants, and I mean that I know that there have been other Republican presidents [00:17:09] in the past who have, you know, tweaked Israel here and there. But if he actually pushes back significantly and ends this war, not just in Gaza, but in Lebanon as well. Yeah, he deserves a lot of credit for that. - But we'll see. - Yeah. I and people will say, oh no, you can't give Trump credit for doing the right thing. [00:17:24] Oh, God damn right I can. But my guess is that's about a 5% chance and 95% chance Trump is going to go. Money, money. I want the money. Because that's what corrupt son of a bitch. He is just like Joe Biden. Just like your beloved Kamala Harris who says greenlight the massacres. [00:17:42] So good luck America. Your politicians are the most corrupt people on earth and they will let you, any foreign government, any corporate donor, kill anyone they like and do it with our money.
