Through the night. Israel's air assault on Gaza City intensified still further as its ground forces readied to move in. By Israel's own estimates, as many as 650,000 Palestinians remain in the city. [00:00:15] This morning, rescue efforts underway to recover survivors from new ruins. This block, home to dozens of people, hit at 1 a.m.. Rescue workers find Mara Al-haddad trapped over ten long hours. They work to free her leg. [00:00:31] Well, luckily, they did free her leg, but she lost two of her friends as a result of that Israeli airstrike. And as Israel carries out its deadly ground offensive in Gaza City, forcing thousands of Palestinians to flee. The UN commission investigating Israel's conduct in Gaza has declared that [00:00:47] they are in fact committing a genocide against the Palestinian people. So there was the organization of genocide scholars who previously came out and declared that Israel was carrying out genocide. Now we have the UN Commission doing the same. [00:01:04] And here's why. According to reporting from channel four news in the UK. Genocide is defined in the convention of 1948. Is the crime committed with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. [00:01:25] The commission says Israel has committed four such genocidal acts, killing members of the group through targeting civilians and the deliberate infliction of conditions of life that caused their deaths, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group through direct attacks against civilians, [00:01:41] mistreatment of detainees, forced displacement and environmental destruction, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part, including blocking essential aid, food, water, electricity and fuel. [00:01:58] And finding that starvation had been used as a weapon, and imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group through the attack on Gaza's largest fertility clinic, reportedly destroying around 4000 embryos. So not only are pregnant women getting killed, [00:02:16] not only are hospitals being destroyed where it's nearly impossible for a woman, or actually is at this point impossible for a Palestinian woman to safely deliver a baby. The fertility fertility clinic was targeted and destroyed by Israel as well. Now, this commission had actually put out a report earlier that found Israel had [00:02:35] committed war crimes against humanity. In fact, in March, for example, it accused Israel of targeting hospitals and other health facilities in genocidal acts intended to prevent births. But they didn't go as far as to accuse Israel of actually carrying out a full blown genocide. Obviously, things have changed, and the latest report the commission [00:02:53] put out says that Israel's actions in Gaza constituted genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention, writing that Israeli authorities were aware of the high probability that their military operations, their imposition of a total siege, including the blocking of humanitarian aid [00:03:10] into Gaza and the destruction of housing and of health systems and facilities, would lead to the physical destruction of Palestinians in whole or in part, in Gaza. - Schenck. - Yeah. So they concluded that the actions of Israel were both expansive. [00:03:28] No significant damage done here, obviously, to say the least, and deliberate. And that is important for a genocide. It was done intentionally. So among the overwhelming evidence that they had were targeting children. [00:03:44] They were shocked at the number of head and chest shots for kids in Gaza, so that snipers hitting them on purpose and killing children, young children. So number two was the utter destruction of almost all the facilities in Gaza, almost [00:04:01] all the hospitals have been destroyed. All the universities have been destroyed. Even when they're absolutely empty, IDF has complete control over them. They say, well, maybe Hamas might come back later at an undisclosed time. So here they're concluding, no, they're doing it to absolutely destroy [00:04:16] and annihilate all of Gaza, as their leaders have said on the record. There are several cabinet ministers said we are going for total annihilation. And then not only do you see them saying that, but then you see them doing it right. All of the universities and educational things have been wiped out. [00:04:33] Fertility clinics wiped out, everything wiped out. Right. So, the only thing left now is the Israeli side. And so that's where it gets interesting. So the interesting part is Israel's claim is, oh, everybody's biased against us. [00:04:49] Yeah. This is fake. - This is an anti-Semitic attack. - Of course, but we all know that, right? And at this point, I'm not even bothered by it anymore. Now they seem like a joke, right? Like a very sick, Tragic joke, right? So. Oh, the facts are anti-Semitic. If you weren't anti-Semitic, you would let us kill more [00:05:05] Palestinian children with sniper shots and and destroy life as we know it in Gaza. That is what they're communicating. Let's be clear about that. Yeah, and it's absurd. There's no point in debating it anymore. We're two years into a genocide. Everyone on planet Earth knows this a genocide. The UN took forever to get there because of enormous political power [00:05:23] that Israel has. You better not call it a. You better not call it a genocide. Well, they did anyway, right? So now the question is, can Israel pull off completing a genocide with the whole world watching? Yeah, it appears that is the case. Yeah, that is the case. [00:05:38] Because here in America, our government will aid and abet anything and everything the Israeli government wants to carry out, including genocide. And at the same time, we also, unfortunately, have, you know, American citizens in this country who identify as, you know, pro-Israeli Zionists, [00:05:57] who will viciously go after anyone who has a conscience and speaks out against the unmitigated slaughter taking place in Gaza right now. They will intimidate them. They will go after their employers. They will essentially make it appear as though anyone who sees what's happening [00:06:13] for what it is okay. Brutality, the butchering of children, the butchering of innocent people. Those people get labeled as the bad guys. They get labeled as the bad guys. People get fired from their jobs as a result of this. Yeah. So there's, three entities basically left against the entire planet, right? [00:06:32] So the planet sees the genocide. Israel can do any kind of propaganda that they want, and they often talk about. And in fact, later in the show, we're going to have a story of the former head of the IDF saying the the lawyers, we have never stop us from doing anything. [00:06:48] The only thing that they ask for is that we follow some guidelines so they could do better marketing for what Israel is doing in Gaza, right? So there's not even an attempt at being legal here. It's all marketing, right? So that's why the rest of the planet, we all have eyes and ears [00:07:03] and see what they've done now. The only three groups left on Israel's side is Israel's hard right wing. Some of the Israeli citizens are dead set against this, and tons of Israelis, authors, composers, actors and the list goes on and on are now speaking out and going, no, no, no no no no, no. [00:07:20] We have to end this genocide. This is sick. This is not what Israel should stand for. Okay, so you've got the hard right wing government of Israel. You've got the hard right wing bullies inside America and Western countries whose job is to betray these the countries they're in, [00:07:36] and bully the citizens of those countries on behalf of a foreign government. Israel. Right. So that's an obvious group. Then the second group is Western leaders, and the third group is Western media. So those are the only people left on Israel's side. The rest of the world agrees. [00:07:52] This is one of the worst genocides we've ever seen. It's not because Israel is doing it that's the problem. It's a problem. Whether Israel is doing it or another country is doing it. So can in modern world can a country just with controlling Western leaders [00:08:08] and media, be able to pull off a genocide and totally get away with it? Is the entire world population irrelevant? So that is a hell of a question. That's the question that Israel is asking now. Can we get the entire world to shut up and follow our orders [00:08:27] and be good little boys and girls, and allow us to do this genocide, move the Palestinians out, slaughter them and move them, and then take Gaza and take West Bank and do it right in front of your eyes in the modern world. And I don't know the answer to that. But don't hate Israelis, though, meaning the Israeli government don't hate [00:08:44] the Israeli government, don't hate the IDF for doing that in front of everybody. Right. It's it's a livestreamed genocide, but don't speak out about it. That would be wrong. No. Yeah. I'm. You know, I'm past it today. Maybe I'll get back to being angry about it tomorrow, right? [00:09:01] But guys, at this point, the people defending Israel are only damaging themselves. This like this is going down in history books. - They're loathsome people. - Yeah. And they're going to go to be featured in a museum. By the way, the good guys are also going to be featured in museums. So I saw an Israeli composer today that took a lot of heat, and he just [00:09:18] stopped and said, no, what we're doing is atrocious and we cannot keep doing this. And we've shown you Holocaust survivors, former Israeli prime ministers, etc., people going, no, no, no, this isn't what Israel was supposed to be. So the folks who are now supporting the genocide [00:09:34] are not even just on the Israeli side. They're literally on the side of being pro genocide. Yeah. And so that's not a winning position and never will be. And they'll carry that moral stain with them for the rest of their lives. So the only question is, can we accumulate enough power to stop them? [00:09:51] That's the only question. 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.
