Israeli Settlers Attack CNN REPORTER

CNN's Jeremy Diamond managed to escape an attack by Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
  • 15 minutes
Hundreds of Palestinians turned out for the funeral of Saifullah Masala on Sunday. The 20 year old was born in Florida to parents of Palestinian heritage. As we head to the location where Saif's body was retrieved, a white vehicle suddenly appears behind us. [00:00:16] We have a group of settlers who are now following us in their vehicle. They've put their masks on as well, which is a concerning indication. At an intersection, the settlers get out and try to pelt our vehicle. You know, every once in a while, we come across a story that makes me understand [00:00:34] the value of the Second Amendment. And this would be one of them, because Israeli settlers have been raining terror on Palestinians and in some cases, even killing American citizens in the West Bank with impunity. And they're so emboldened that now they're attacking American press [00:00:52] that's reporting out of the area. So while reporting on the brutal killing of an American citizen in the West Bank, CNN journalist Jeremy Diamond and his team were actually attacked by Israeli settlers. And it's yet another example of the impunity that these settlers get to enjoy, [00:01:10] because oftentimes they are provided cover by either the IDF or the Israeli government. Now, as we talked about yesterday, Saif Musalla, a 20 year old American from Florida, was beaten to death by settlers while visiting relatives [00:01:25] in the occupied West Bank. And according to the family, a group of settlers blocked an ambulance from reaching him for about three hours. Because they're religious fundamentalists? No, no. - They're lunatics. - They're terrorists. Call them what they are. They are terrorists. [00:01:43] As many as five Americans have been killed in the West Bank since October 7th. And our government hasn't done anything about it. Nothing. Nothing. They keep sending our taxpayer dollars to Israel. They keep sending bombs to Israel. [00:02:00] I mean, we keep doing whatever Israel wants, but Israel provides cover for these settlers who have killed American citizens. How are we okay with this? Okay, guys, think about a different country. So imagine Syria had killed five different American citizens in five different incidents, right? [00:02:16] Or China had killed five Americans in five different incidents. And they say, yeah, we beat your Americans to death. So what? What are you going to do? And prevented an ambulance from reaching them? Yeah. And and yeah. And we made sure they bled to death after we beat them within an inch of their life. And we wouldn't let the ambulances in. [00:02:33] So what what are you going to do about it? Right. Do you think America would be like, oh, no. No. We're good. Okay. I'm so sorry. China. Here's $30 billion. Remember, since October 7th, we've given them not just the 4 billion a year, but on top of that, we're sneaking in 500 million into the Pentagon budget that Marjorie Taylor [00:02:51] Greene tried to take out the other day. And we've given them 30 billion extra for the genocide. Oh, you guys are slaughtering innocent Palestinians. Oh, you're murdering Americans, too. Here's our gift to you. $30 billion. Imagine China kills five Americans, and we give them $30 billion. [00:03:08] It is inconceivable. If you say that AIPAC doesn't run Washington, you're a moron. Okay, so like in mainstream media. Look, Jeremy Diamond, we've given a lot of credit to Trey Jenks. We've given a lot of credit to. He's on Fox News. [00:03:24] Those two have been super brave, doing great reporting. When we see great reporting, we love it and we give credit where credit is due. The rest of the mainstream media is a joke. Totally like I mean. Like, you don't notice that these guys are murdering Americans and we're giving them money to do it. [00:03:39] You don't notice that the lunatic terrorist settlers keep murdering Palestinians for no reason in the West Bank, having nothing to do with God. You didn't notice that Gaza is leveled, that they've destroyed all of Gaza, and they're trying to move them out, and you're still equivocating and people [00:03:56] calling people anti-Semites, you monsters. I don't like. I've said before, I'll say it. Call me an anti-Semite, I don't care. Okay, those are our people. Those are Americans who are getting killed by these emboldened terrorists. Okay. That enjoy the euphemism of Israeli settlers? [00:04:13] No. They're terrorists. Okay. Yes, they're religious fundamentalists. They're terrorists. And they are provided cover by the Israeli government. So what does that say about the Israeli government, which we're funding, we're supporting, and we're sending bombs to. Absolutely disgusting. By the way, let's not forget the fact that after October 7th, I can't remember [00:04:31] if it was Ben Gvir or Smotrich, but there were images and videos of them passing out assault weapons to settlers, to these terrorists, to further terrorize Palestinians in the West Bank. So when this happened relatively early on in the conflict, [00:04:47] I remember I had a debate discussion. It was a number of hosts. I can't remember what show it was. And one of the hosts, he was a pretty gentle debater. He was he seemed like a good guy. But he said, you know, my I grew up in the settlements. My parents are settlers. Are you saying all settlers are terrorists? [00:05:03] You know, are wrong. And I'm like, yeah, of course I am, right. Because the settlers, the whole point of the settlers is let's go steal Arab land. 100%, because our God told us 3000 years ago, we think. It was promised to us. It was promised to us because we're the chosen people. [00:05:19] If Arabs said that or Muslims said that. No, no, no, Allah promised it to us. That's why we're murdering you and taking your land. Everyone would call them. What? Terrorists, right? So I said, yeah, brother, I'm sorry, but that's right. And I said, so what was the ideology you grew up with? And then he admitted, yeah, we were taught to hate the Arabs [00:05:36] and that it was our land. And by the way, what's the Israeli propaganda? Oh, we can't let the Palestinians have a state. They were taught to hate us. By you guys. By you guys, by the way. Because you're occupying them, you're putting them in concentration camps. [00:05:51] Okay? But meanwhile, they're taught to hate Arabs, to steal their land. Exactly. God damn it, man, they should get nothing. Jesus. Wake up! America! So a second man. Man, I should note who wasn't an American citizen was also killed by this attack. [00:06:09] Mohammed Al Shalabi, 23 year old, was killed in the same incident. So, Jeremy Diamond, from CNN and to your point about media, Jake, you're right. Overall, I think the media has been terrified to cover what's happening [00:06:25] in the Middle East accurately, with a few exceptions. And I want to give Jeremy Diamond in particular credit because he's done really great reports, you know, on the ground. And this is a good example. Now, diamond and his team were in the West Bank to cover this story about the American citizen getting slaughtered by these Israeli settlers. [00:06:43] And instead of ending up becoming instead, they ended up becoming targets of the same terrorists that we're talking about here. So let's go to the next video and you'll get a sense of what I'm talking about. We managed to approach a nearby Israeli border police vehicle, [00:06:59] and the settlers turn around. He got out of the car with a gun or something. No, he's trying to get rocks. Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot! - Go go go! - Drive drive drive! Keep driving. The masked men smashed the rear windshield of our car, [00:07:17] but we managed to speed off unharmed. No no no no. - They turned, they turned, they. - Turned, they turned. It is just a small window into the reality here. It took us five more seconds. - We all would have been beaten with. - You think they would have beaten? - Yes, sir. - But your son was also killed. [00:07:33] In January 2024. By a settler. Simply just being there. Barbecuing. Israeli police tell us that they have opened an investigation into the attack on our team. And they say that they, quote, take such matters extremely seriously. We will be monitoring to see what the outcome of that investigation is [00:07:48] because, as you know, there has been enormous levels of impunity for these Israeli settlers in the West Bank. I just want to refer back to the comment I made about the Second Amendment and the importance. [00:08:04] No no. No. Palestinians are not allowed to defend themselves. They're not allowed to defend themselves only. It's only the Israelis can defend themselves by starting wars and by occupying other people's land and by stealing it. That's how they defend themselves. But God forbid, if you try to defend yourself [00:08:19] and against an Israeli occupation, you'll get smeared as terrorists from here to eternity by the liars in American media and all of Western media that will say, how dare the Palestinians resist the Israeli occupation? They should know that the Israelis are the chosen people [00:08:36] and they should surrender to them. They are lowly Muslims, and they're supposed to be beaten to death. And if they protest terrorists and if you anti-Semite f the media, all of American media that has been perpetuating these viciously racist [00:08:53] and bigoted lies against Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims my whole life, all of you guys are guilty while you chase around mythical anti-Semitism. Or do you criticize Israel? Anti-semite? Anti-semite? [00:09:08] Oh my God. Oh, they say something about Netanyahu. Anti-semite. Anti-semite. Well. Oh, they they're protesting for peace. Anti-semite. Anti-semite. Well, you go do that over and over and over again. There's massive bigotry against Muslims, the murder of Muslims, children over and over. Do you know us? [00:09:24] Every time this goddamn media do you do not denounce Hamas, denounce anyone fighting back against Israel, right? Okay, fine. We denounce them. They do something terrible. You know how many people they killed? Civilians they killed on October 7th, 815. That's a big number. That's terrible. [00:09:39] You know how many children under the age of one babies Israel has killed since October 7th, 870. More than all the civilians Hamas killed. So if Hamas are the worst terrorists, what does that make Israel [00:09:57] the murderer of babies? Peace. Oh, no. No, you can't say that. Anti-semite. Anti-semite. Anti-semite. Right. No, I don't care. I don't care what you call me. - Stop murdering babies. - Stop murdering innocent people. - All of these innocent people. - You killed their. [00:10:13] Stadium full of children. 17,000 children. Everybody says they care about the children. Unless it's Palestinian children. In which case, anti-Semite. You don't care about bigotry. You are bigotry. American media. You are all bigots, with the exception of wonderful people [00:10:28] like Jeremy Diamond and Trey Yingst. Yep, yep. By the way, Jeremy Diamond looking real good. Keep get it, boy. Keep getting it. All right. Just adding a little bit of lightness to this terrible story. But, you know, of course, the foreign press has weighed in on this, essentially condemning what has happened to Jeremy Diamond and CNN in this attack. [00:10:48] By the way, he posted a photo of the shattered, you know, back window of the vehicle that they were in. And of course, it was shattered by these terrorists. Now. Jeremy Diamond reported that the American who was just killed [00:11:05] by Israeli settler terrorists, Saif, his father, has come out to share his thoughts and demand justice for his son. Now, do I think that there will be justice for his son? Well, given the four other Americans who have been killed in a similar way [00:11:22] in the West Bank? No, I don't think that there's going to be justice. That's unfortunately the situation we're dealing with. But let's hear what he has to say here. We want we want justice. His father, Kamal, was home in Florida where he runs an ice cream shop with his son. [00:11:37] When he got the call that Saif had been attacked by settlers. You never think that it's your son or anything like that, that whose is happening to. And then I got word that it was my son. He was hit. He was beaten. [00:11:54] He lost consciousness, but nobody could get to him. Ambulance couldn't come in. Why? Because the IDF restricted that. The IDF blocked that. So you hold the Israeli military? [00:12:10] I hold the Israeli military just as responsible as the the settlers and the American government for not doing anything about this. The State Department said it is aware of safe's death, but declined to comment [00:12:25] further on calls for an investigation. So far, there's only been one American official who has weighed in on what happened to Saif, and that's unfortunately, a pretty disgusting individual. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, who says that he's asked Israel [00:12:42] to aggressively investigate this. Oh, I'm sure they're right on it. They're working around the clock on it. You know, how many settlers have been held accountable or IDF soldiers held accountable for those American deaths in the West Bank? Zero. They're never held accountable because they're like, oh, who cares? [00:12:58] We control America so we can murder their citizens any time we like guys. The IDF literally fired shots at a group of international diplomats as they were visiting Jenin. Israel said they are going to investigate it. [00:13:17] What happened to that investigation? What happened to the investigation of every hospital and school that they destroyed? Do you know that right now they're going through Gaza? And not only are they bombing all the buildings, but they're bulldozing them. They're bulldozing all of them. Well, how are you? [00:13:32] What is bulldozing a home? Have anything to do with finding Hamas? It's Hamas's fault. Yeah, I'm sure they used the home as a shield, blah blah blah, blah blah. Okay. I'm so sick of my money being robbed from me by the American government, [00:13:47] by the sick American politicians robbed from me to go pay for the slaughter of those innocent children by a terrorist government of Israel. You call me anything you like, but I fight genocides. Okay, I fight it. If it's happening to Jews, I fight it. [00:14:04] If it's happening to Palestinians, I fight it no matter who it's happening to. And if you're not fighting against this genocide, you're sick, there's something wrong with you, and you're a bigot and you're a racist. Okay, so go ahead. Every time somebody calls anybody fighting against genocide an anti-Semite, [00:14:22] I'm going to call them a racist a thousand times over because they don't give a damn about any life but precious, precious Israeli lives. Oh, those settlers, poor little terrorists murdering anyone they like. No, I don't give a goddamn about them. [00:14:38] Stop sending our money for this murder and slaughter and genocide. Stop sending our money! Israel is literally robbing us. They're robbing us. They robbed you. Every time you go to work, Israel takes a portion of it. Why? Why? Why are we under an obligation to give over $300 billion? [00:14:57] Because we might have pedophiles. Look. - Government. - Yeah. Even if that government was saintly, like, Norway's a perfectly lovely government. We haven't given them $300 billion because we don't owe them. But we give Israel over $300 billion, and they still say you owe us. [00:15:14] No, we don't owe you a goddamn thing. And after this genocide, the world doesn't owe you a single thing, okay? Nothing. You've used up all of your goodwill. It's gone. You are now no longer the victim. You are the villain. [00:15:30] You are a worldwide villain. The latest to commit a genocide. And all of you are going to go to a museum. And God help you, Netanyahu, if there's ever an honest American leader. Because then we're going to pull your protection. And I can't wait to see you in The Hague and and Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. [00:15:49] If those guys are not getting Nuremberg trials, then we failed as a society. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
