Bibi LIES About Funding Hamas
Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster interviewed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the war in Gaza.
- 13 minutes
One of the things that we have
heard here in the West, and I wanted
to get your perspective on it,
is that in the run up to what happened on
October 7th, for many, many years, Israel
was allowing the Israeli government,
was allowing Qatar to pump money
into Hamas and using that, in effect,
[00:00:17]
to strengthen Hamas against
the Palestinian Authority to prevent
a Palestinian united Palestinian state.
What do you say to those claims?
In an effort to desperately launder
his reputation in the middle of carrying
[00:00:32]
out a genocide in Gaza and the annexation
and land theft in the West Bank?
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
is granting interviews to friendlies,
individuals who are diehard Zionists
and supporters of the state of Israel.
Trigonometry was the latest one.
[00:00:49]
And to Constantine's credit,
you know, in this case,
he did ask Netanyahu an important question
specifically whether Netanyahu
had facilitated the funding for Hamas.
Let's see if he's willing to tell
the truth for once in his life.
[00:01:06]
No way.
Israel was allowing the Israeli government
was allowing Qatar to pump money
into Hamas and using that, in effect,
to strengthen Hamas against
the Palestinian Authority to prevent
a Palestinian united Palestinian state.
[00:01:22]
- What do you say to those claims?
- Well, I think it's hogwash.
I mean, we're stuck with Hamas.
I was actually against leaving Gaza
and resigned from the government
when he did so, when he decided
to tear out the settlements,
because I said,
this will be overtaken by Hamas,
and Hamas will use it as a platform.
[00:01:37]
We'll use Gaza,
a de facto Palestinian state in Gaza,
to pellet us with, with missiles and,
and rockets, the surrounding cities.
This was Pooh poohed
by the government at the time.
I thought it was insane.
But once, once they gave up Gaza,
that's exactly what happened.
[00:01:56]
Hamas took it over
and turned it into a terror bastion.
And the question was,
what do you do with it?
Well, there were various theories.
One of it was that you have to have
aid the civilian population in such a way
that you don't have diseases.
So you've got to take care of the sewage,
you've got to take care of electricity.
[00:02:11]
You've got to make sure
there's no famine there.
You know, Benjamin Netanyahu, notorious
for really sharing concern, engaging
in behavior that would prevent something
as disastrous as a famine in Gaza.
[00:02:27]
Now, obviously, he's lying.
And unfortunately and somewhat expectedly,
Constantine Kissin did not challenge him
on his lie at all.
He just kind of moves on to whether or not
the war criminal he's speaking to
was aware of Hamas terror tunnels.
[00:02:43]
So what is the truth?
Well, the truth is actually documented
in multiple publications,
both American and Israeli.
Let's start with an American publication,
because it turns out that even CNN
reported about this in December of 2023,
writing that in a series of interviews
with key Israeli players conducted in
[00:03:02]
collaboration with Israeli investigative
journalism organization Shomrim.
CNN was told Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu continued the cash flow to Hamas
despite concerns raised
from within his own government.
So there was a widely reported meeting
that Netanyahu held with members of his
[00:03:21]
party, the Likud party, in early 2019,
where he was quoted as saying
that those who oppose the formation
of a Palestinian state should support
the transfer of funds to Hamas in Gaza.
Now why? Why is that?
[00:03:37]
Well, look no further than
Israeli publication The Times of Israel.
This headline will help you
look up the piece
if you want to read it for yourselves.
For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas.
Now it's blown up in our faces, in it.
Tal Schneider writes
that Benjamin Netanyahu took an approach
[00:03:55]
that divided power between the Gaza
Strip and the West Bank,
bringing Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees
while making moves that propped up
the Hamas terror group.
The idea what was the idea?
[00:04:11]
The idea was to prevent Abbas or anyone
else in the Palestinian Authority's West
Bank government from advancing toward
the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Most of the time, Israeli policy
was to treat the Palestinian Authority,
[00:04:27]
which, by the way, played by the rules,
collaborated with Israel, tried to do
everything possible to, you know, have a
peaceful formation of a Palestinian state.
But that's a threat to Israel because
they don't want a Palestinian state.
They want to do the Greater
Israel Project, especially Likud,
[00:04:43]
which has the Greater Israel Project
as part of their charter.
So how can you, you know, delegitimize the
Palestinian Authority and instead prop up
Hamas to essentially make the Palestinians
[00:04:58]
look like a dangerous terror group
that can't have a state,
because if they do have a state,
they're going to be a huge threat
to the Israeli people.
Let me read the rest of that graphic.
Far right MK Bezalel Smotrich,
now the finance minister in the hardline
government and leader of the Religious
Zionism party, said so himself in 2015.
[00:05:19]
So this has been the policy.
Prop up Hamas to delegitimize the
whole idea of forming a Palestinian state?
That's what they did.
And let's not forget that it literally
took hours for IDF soldiers to respond
[00:05:37]
to the Hamas attacks on October 7th.
Let's also remember that there were two
instances in which Israeli officials
came across intelligence indicating that
Hamas was planning that terror attack.
And more importantly, the second piece
of Intel they received made it clear that
[00:05:55]
they intended on kidnaping hundreds
of hostages, but they didn't act on that.
The Israeli government,
notoriously paranoid about everything,
didn't act on that intelligence.
Interesting.
And then now you have
Israeli soldiers testifying.
[00:06:12]
Okay. And you can look up these videos.
They're testifying,
they're showing their identity.
They're doing it publicly,
testifying that they were told to stand
down on the morning of October 7th.
Why? Why were they told to stand down?
Why isn't that being addressed
in the American media?
[00:06:28]
I mean, to the credit
of Israeli publications and Israeli media,
they're covering it.
But here in the United States, you have
a huge population of Americans who have,
essentially absorbed all
of the pro-Israeli slop
[00:06:44]
without realizing that the current
government of Israel just sat back
and allowed October 7th to happen and are
lashing out at everyone else instead of
taking responsibility for their failures.
So Netanyahu, also in one of these
interviews, explained how he wants
[00:07:01]
to take over more of American media.
I'm going to get to that in a second.
But, you know, we know
that the Israeli government that's
reported everywhere was aware of that.
October 7th was, being planned.
And they say, oh, man, that's just
the one that got past the goalie.
[00:07:16]
I mean, we thought, they have
the paragliders and the most sophisticated
attack that's ever been done.
I mean, because they Palestinians
basically have nothing.
Paragliders are gigantic.
When are we going to have
paraglider control?
Yeah. Common sense, paraglider control.
[00:07:33]
So the Israelis know where every single
Hezbollah leader, Hamas leader, Iranian
diplomat, blah blah blah is at any moment.
They've got the pagers they've got.
And they can assassinate
an Iranian nuclear scientist
[00:07:49]
through a strike that goes through
the window of their apartment.
That's how sophisticated Israel
can be if they want to be.
Oh, there's a huge like an almost an
army like attack coming across the border.
- We thought it was not important.
- We did not expect this.
[00:08:06]
And there's IDF soldier on tape going.
I don't know why they told us
to stand down.
We were there from 520
in the morning to 9:00.
They wouldn't let us patrol the border.
Come on guys.
So now it's not just Netanyahu,
Ariel Sharon and the right wing
[00:08:21]
Likud government, has constantly
encouraged Hamas for the same reason.
Well, there's two reasons.
The one that Ana mentioned,
which is to split the Palestinians in two,
divide and conquer the Palestinian
Authority is too strong in their opinion.
So you create Hamas.
[00:08:37]
And so then Hamas will weaken
Palestinian Authority and then, well,
but that will create more terrorism.
But that leads to reason number two.
Anytime they can claim self-defense,
it allows them to take more land.
So like in 1948, they had 6% of the land.
All of a sudden they get 50%.
[00:08:57]
But now driving out all the Palestinians,
they're going to need an excuse
because what are they going to do?
Let the Palestinian state
and they'll be outvoted.
And then that's the end
of the Jewish state on day one.
Right.
So they've got to slaughter them
and move them out.
And they did.
750 to 800,000 Palestinians ran for their
[00:09:13]
lives here in America, we're told.
This hilarious fable about, oh, yeah,
the Arabs attacked the poor Israelis.
They had to do self-defense.
And so all of a sudden,
the Palestinians are slaughtered.
They, and and the rest run
for their lives, like I told you.
[00:09:29]
And all of a sudden they have 1967.
They attack all of their neighbors,
destroy all of their air forces,
and then claim self-defense.
So my point to you guys is twofold.
One is they love divide and conquer.
They've been supporting Hamas throughout.
By the way, they now have a new militia
they're supporting in Gaza
[00:09:47]
that we told you about about a week ago
that is supposed to split Hamas.
- Oh my God, that's just.
- Okay.
So that new militia, by the way, will one
day do a terrorist attack against, Israel,
and then Israel will take Lebanon or Syria
or wherever they want to take next.
[00:10:03]
Meanwhile, by the way.
Encouraging terrorism
because they think it might help Israel.
Netanyahu was asked right after nine
over 11 what he thought of nine over 11.
Now, I'm not saying anything, guys.
All I'm doing is reading you his quote.
Okay. He said, quote, it's very good.
[00:10:20]
And the reporter was like, it's very good.
Right.
And Netanyahu then realizes,
oh, I shouldn't have said that out loud.
And he says, well, not very good.
But it will generate immediate sympathy
and strengthen the bond
between our two peoples.
[00:10:37]
Interesting.
So he thought nine over 11 was very good.
He looked the other way on October 7th.
And this is our special ally.
Special ally. Special ally.
Okay, now I turn to the next thing
he said in the interviews.
He said, and this is a quote, we must
deal with the social media algorithms.
[00:10:57]
So they had mainstream media
on complete lockdown.
Now that's they still do.
But it's irrelevant now
because there's social media.
So they're getting swarmed
with the smartphone footage and all this.
So then they try to shut down TikTok.
And Mitt Romney
and other politicians said on tape,
[00:11:13]
we're not doing it because of China.
We're doing it because of Israel.
They want to shut down TikTok.
And now TikTok, by the way,
in September, has now hired a person
that will now report to Israel.
A former IDF soldier who is now working
for the app to censor, anti-Semitic posts.
[00:11:31]
Yeah, that's a joke, of course.
Anything that's anti-Israel now
going to get banned there, right?
Because they they say, well, if you don't
do that, we're going to make you sell it.
You're going to lose
hundreds of billions of dollars.
So that political influence allows them
to control that amount of money,
[00:11:47]
which allows TikTok to go, yes, sir.
We will now serve Israel
starting in September 13th,
we will serve Israel loyally.
Sir. Sir.
Okay.
And now Netanyahu says no.
I want all the social media algorithms.
You and America
are not allowed to criticize Israel.
[00:12:03]
No. You're wrong. You serve me.
Okay.
And Americans were sitting here going,
can any of our politicians
stand up to this guy, this guy who's
like a modern day Goebbels and Hitler?
He's bragging about how he's murdering
20,000 children right in front of our
[00:12:20]
eyes, starving the Palestinians to death
like a despotic figure
like we haven't seen in so long.
And American media bows down to him,
and American politicians
bowed down to him. 2% of Congress says
Palestinians should be a state.
[00:12:36]
The rest of Congress
is like we serve Israel loyally.
No, no, this is this is this is going
to lead to a ton of trouble.
And I don't want the trouble guys going in
the wrong places for the billionth time,
not against Jewish Americans
does not have to do with religion.
[00:12:54]
Greatest fighters we have Dave Smith.
I don't want to name names.
They're wonderful.
Okay.
And they're for peace.
And they're for America.
Okay.
You should take your ire out on the
disgustingly corrupt politicians we have
and the disgustingly corrupt
mainstream media we have that in the
[00:13:10]
face of overwhelming evidence
that Israel controls our politicians and
and has taken $310 billion from Americans
and is now using it for a genocide.
They say, no, we serve Israel loyally.
It's disgusting.
And you should be enraged about it.
[00:13:30]
All right.
We're going to talk a little bit
about why Ben Rhodes is
so furious at the Free press.
Recent peace talks
about starvation in Gaza.
We'll get into the details
and more when we come back.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets its wings.
[00:13:47]
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
