The INSANE Reason A State Dept. Official Was Fired
The State Department fired an official who encouraged leadership to denounce ethnic cleansing.
- 10 minutes
It appears that the Trump administration,
Trump's State Department in particular,
has listened to demands and orders
from their masters
and have fired a top official
for advising the administration to come
out against ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
[00:00:16]
You know, the crime of, you know,
advising the United States government
to come out against ethnic cleansing.
Wow, what a baddie.
Now, the man in question
is Shahid Qureshi, who was the top press
officer for Israel Palestinian affairs
at the State Department.
[00:00:35]
Monday's firing occurred days
after an internal debate about releasing
a statement to the news media
that said we do not support forced
displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.
Shahid Qureshi drafted the line.
What a big crime, which resembled previous
remarks made by President Donald Trump and
[00:00:54]
Middle East Special envoy Steve Witkoff,
who said in February
that the United States would not pursue
an eviction plan for Gaza.
But since then, it appears that, you know,
that whole Epstein
Files cover up thing happened.
There was some sort of talking
to to Donald Trump, and he did kind of
[00:01:10]
like a 180 in his willingness to push back
against Israel time to time.
Now he doesn't push back on anything
and in fact will fire members of his
own administration if they don't
go along with Israel's lies
in support of the ethnic cleansing and
genocide currently taking place in Gaza.
[00:01:27]
So it's coming up again now because of
reports that these Israeli officials are
considering expelling and just ethnically
cleansing Palestinians, to South Sudan.
So they're having conversations
with other countries, essentially,
[00:01:45]
to see if these other countries will
absorb Palestinian refugees in South Sudan
happens to be one of them.
But denouncing ethnic cleansing
was too far for the State Department.
And so, as a result, The State Department
vetoed the move, instructing officials
[00:02:00]
to cut the line marked in red and clear.
According to a memo dated last week.
And this isn't the first dispute
of this kind in recent weeks.
So another occurred earlier this month
after Israel killed Al Jazeera journalist
[00:02:16]
Anas al-Sharif and several other
journalists in Gaza City, for that matter.
As officials contemplated how the State
Department should address the incident,
Qureshi recommended including a line
that said we mourn the loss of journalists
and express condolences to their families.
[00:02:33]
State Department leadership
objected in an email sent August 10th.
Quote, no response is needed,
the email said.
We can't be sending out condolences if we
are unsure of the individual's actions.
[00:02:48]
He was a journalist who was
literally on air every single day.
Kind of hard to engage in terrorist
activities when you are on the air,
on camera, every single day.
Besides which, Israel didn't provide
any evidence that Anas al-Sharif was
[00:03:07]
a Hamas militant because they don't need
to provide any evidence.
All they need to do is point to anyone,
particularly humanitarian aid workers,
journalists, things like that
accuse them of being Hamas militants,
slaughter them and enjoy the impunity
that the United States offers them
[00:03:22]
for doing these crimes.
It's disgusting.
It goes against what our
values are supposed to be
in this great American democracy.
And Israel, at this point,
is not only a liability
to the United States, but completely,
[00:03:37]
completely ruins the possibility
of our government being taken seriously
when issues of human rights abuses
come up on the international stage.
Who are we to talk about human rights
abuses or the necessity of following
[00:03:54]
international law when we have allowed our
special ally to get away with murder.
- Jake, back to you.
- Yeah.
So there's people who basically work
for Israel all over our government,
and they make these decisions
in a way that, is not really authorized,
[00:04:11]
even within the Trump administration.
So if you're looking at this guy
and you're thinking, well, I mean,
I don't know, maybe he snuck in.
He's some sort of soft hearted lib
or something.
No, he's the one that wrote
the tweet for Marco Rubio
about making Gaza beautiful again.
Okay, so he's a he's on their side.
ET cetera.
[00:04:28]
ET cetera.
But nothing is ever good enough.
So if you say, hey, are the official
US policy is that we are not
in favor of ethnic cleansing,
they're like, that's it, you're fired.
But that that's.
Wait. I'm repeating official US policy.
Yeah, but we work for Israel.
We don't work for America.
[00:04:45]
So you're fired.
How could you get fired
for stating official U.S.
Policy if you're in the State Department.
You know why?
Because the fish rots from the head down.
In this case, not Trump,
although he's plenty bad, but Rubio.
So Rubio.
The article talks about the seventh floor
and how the seventh floor
[00:05:02]
basically works for Israel.
That's Rubio's floor.
And so Rubio is taking over $1 million
from AIPAC, deeply connected to Miriam
Adelson and, and, and the Israeli lobby.
And we told you that
when he was brought in.
Number one, that he was part of Team
Israel, along with several other members
[00:05:20]
like Mike Huckabee and others.
And that is why the Senate voted
overwhelmingly yes on Marco Rubio.
They're like, oh,
the others, we have issues.
Tulsi Gabbard, others we will look into.
They're like, oh, Rubio,
he works for Israel.
He's in right away. Right away.
So he's the Israeli,
secretary of state, not ours.
[00:05:38]
And so he won't even do US policy.
He's like, no, I'm going
to do Israeli policy instead of us.
It's unbelievable.
All right, so there's a guy inside there,
who is going around firing people
and changing the language in favor
of Israel within the State Department.
[00:05:56]
His name is David Milstein.
And so Milstein is one of the guys
who got fired.
He he's so nuts.
He tried to put an official statement
that that not to call the West Bank
and Gaza Strip by their real names,
but call them Judea and Samaria.
[00:06:13]
Judea and Samaria are like the names
that Israel uses for Greater Israel,
meaning we're going
to wipe out the Palestinians and literally
steal that land for ourselves.
Say it out loud. Yeah.
Yeah.
And he's like, yeah,
that should be official U.S.
Policy.
Complete and utter ethnic cleansing.
Genocide.
[00:06:30]
Maybe even a holocaust to steal that land.
And we should call it by the same name,
same Judea and Samaria is the equivalent
of saying from the river to the sea.
Okay, so you want to know
who David Milstein is?
He is the son in law of Marc Levin.
[00:06:47]
So Marc Levin gets some
sort of honorary title.
He gets to put his son in law
in the State Department.
And of course,
there's one other character.
You're not going to be surprised
who called for his firing.
Laura Loomer.
So there is really I mean,
I don't technically I don't know
[00:07:04]
if there are agents assets
or they're just doing it voluntarily.
But let's put it this way.
Israel Firsters like Laura Loomer,
Mark Levin, his son in law, Marco Rubio.
And by the way, almost all of Congress
who's gotten paid by AIPAC
and other Israeli lobbies and they
don't work for our government at all.
[00:07:21]
They often defy our own government
to serve Israel instead.
That's the state of America.
So look, the one upside of all
that is that, we now know
how it feels to be a Palestinian.
You're now occupied.
[00:07:37]
I can't wait for Israel to start
controlling our caloric intake and.
And telling us what?
Well, they already tell us what we can and
can't do and what we can and can't say.
So, look, the State Department
didn't give any rationale for Qureshi's
firing to the Washington Post
or to Qureshi himself, by the way.
[00:07:54]
But he's confident his pushback on
the administration's allegiance to Israel
was the culprit and says the following.
Despite a strong reputation
and close working relationship
with many of my colleagues,
I was unable to survive these disputes.
And he was subject to an attack from none
other than that lunatic, known as Laura
[00:08:14]
Loomer, who called him a pro-Iranian
regime jihadi Muslim, tied to Nyack.
Of course she did.
She calls everybody that.
Okay.
Referring to the National Iranian American
Council, which backed the 2015 nuclear
[00:08:30]
deal with Iran, which prevented Iran
from building nuclear weapons.
So why is that a bad thing? Exactly.
Anyway, Qureshi said he intended.
He interned at the Nyack, back in 2013.
She also called him a rabidly
anti-Trump staffer who was operating
[00:08:49]
as a pro-Iranian regime operative.
Like they just.
Say, there's a lunatic right now
who has the president's ear.
But honestly, I don't know how much it's
really about Trump trusting Laura Loomer.
I think at the heart of this issue
is something happened, right?
[00:09:08]
Because there was a period of time,
even in Trump's second term,
where he was willing to push back
on Israel at least a little bit.
Right. He stopped attacking the Houthis.
There was something else
I'm forgetting at the moment.
He did a peace deal,
temporary hostage deal with Hamas.
That's right.
Cut out Israel from Israel,
cut out his Israel from the Houthis deal.
[00:09:26]
And he made them, turn around their jets
when they were going to do
a second wave of bombing of Iran.
So three separate times.
He defied Israel.
And that's where we gave him credit.
And we had a little bit of hope.
Oh my God, is this a US president
that's actually a US president
for all the other things we disagree with
disagree Trump on massively.
[00:09:45]
We're like, okay,
I haven't seen a US president
stand up to Israel in my lifetime.
And then Netanyahu came over,
had a private talk with Trump.
And from then on he has been nothing
but yes, sir, of course sir.
Kill anyone you like, sir.
Here's the check, sir.
[00:10:00]
Yes. Take Gaza sir.
Please destroy every Palestinian in Gaza.
Sir.
I'm so sorry.
Epstein files will never be released.
There were no clients. Oh, okay.
All right, well, I mean, look,
they're super obvious.
And Laura Loomer called this guy
pro-Iranian regime operative, right?
[00:10:17]
No, the irony is, it's always projection.
There's a bunch of people
who are pro-Israel regime operatives,
like Laura Loomer and Mark Levin, and tons
of people inside our own government.
You want to know who the deep state is?
It's people who are working
for Israel instead of America.
[00:10:34]
There. I just solved it for you.
That's right.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
