Finally the emotional. Just look at this guy's emotional reunions taking place between those freed hostages and their loved ones that they haven't seen in more than two years, finally coming face to face at a military base in southern Israel. Listen. [00:00:17] Yes. We also saw more than 1700 Palestinians from Gaza who were detained over the course of the war, many of them without charge, being returned to the Gaza Strip. [00:00:32] After more than 700 days in Hamas captivity, all 20 living Israeli hostages have been returned to Israel. They have been reunited with family members and in exchange, nearly 2000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were also released by Israel [00:00:50] to Palestine and in some cases deported to other countries like Egypt. Now, let's first begin with the Israeli hostages. There were about 250 50 of them taken into Gaza on October 7th following Hamas's attack on Israel. [00:01:06] About 80 of them have died. Many were released, though in previous prisoner swaps with Israel and, as I mentioned earlier, 20 of them were released and reunited with their family members in Israel today. So now the remaining 20 living hostages, now that they've been freed, [00:01:25] you know, Hamas didn't do any big displays or pageantry like they had in previous hostage releases. And the hostages were brought across the border in vans facilitated by the international Red cross. You're looking at photos of the hostages who were released today, and obviously [00:01:41] those videos of them reunited with their family members, is touching. It's a little bit of good news in this endlessly horrific, brutal genocide that's been carried out in Gaza. But, you know, luckily there's something positive to look at today. And you're looking at it right now, Jake. [00:01:57] Yeah. So, look, the Both the hostages and their families live through an excruciating two years, seeing the moms and dads hugging their sons who have come back. It is super emotional. Elated that they're back. [00:02:15] We always wanted the hostages back, and we're we're very glad that they're back now. So that's the 20 Israelis. So now, I'm going to spend some time on the 17 hostages, 100 hostages that Israel took from, Gaza. Remember, these are not the 250 prisoners. [00:02:32] The prisoners are different. They were charged. They were convicted. Yes. Israel runs kangaroo courts where the Palestinians are found guilty. 99% of the time. And the IDF and the settlers that do violence are found innocent. 99% of the time, by the way, those are literal numbers. So the courts in the occupied territory inside Israel, they do real courts, [00:02:51] in the occupied territories, they do total junk, oppressor kangaroo courts with mock justice. This. But the 1700 that were taken hostage by Israel or have never had any charges, even in the kangaroo courts. Even the smallest little charge. And it's a 99% conviction rate. [00:03:10] They didn't bother with that because they're just full out hostages. Now, you remember all their plight because American media couldn't stop talking about. Oh, right. The American media didn't care about them at all. 1700 Palestinian hostages to American media meant nothing. [00:03:26] Zero. All of them combined don't equal one human, not one hostage equivalent. Right. Because the American media agrees with Israel. This Palestinians are subhuman. They're 58 year, brutal, disgusting, humiliating. Occupation is irrelevant. [00:03:41] And in fact, it's a good thing to be celebrated. Israel needs to be safe. Israel needs to be safe, and they have to oppress everyone around them to be safe. The 1700 hostages are never taken into account, and the Palestinians lives are murdered, 66,000 at least murdered, 10,000 under the rubble. [00:03:59] None of it counts but the 20. Actual human being Israelis. Those are the humans that American press and the international press is going nuts. The 20 are back. 20 real human beings, which I agree with the Palestinians. [00:04:17] Who cares about them? And by the way, Israel will now take more hostages because they can take more hostages anytime they want. Never have to bring any charges. And the American media will bury it, and the American government will send them a check for it. So that's what happened today. [00:04:32] So I want to just go back to the Israeli hostages for a minute because as we mentioned, you know, not all of the hostages survived. 20 of the hostages were returned today. However, Hamas is supposed to also return the remains of the deceased. [00:04:49] Now, they did release the bodies of four deceased hostages back to Israel. That did cause some outrage, because under the terms of this cease fire deal. And let me just be clear. Both parties have accepted the first stage of the ceasefire deal. [00:05:05] The rest of it remains vague and kind of up in the air. But under what they did agree to, Hamas was supposed to release all 28 bodies. Obviously they haven't done that yet. But it was understood even before the agreement was signed that retrieving [00:05:21] and returning these bodies would be difficult and would likely take days, thanks to the destruction in Gaza. Gaza has been leveled. And while the Israeli government would like you to think that it's okay, it's only going to impact those terrible Palestinians, [00:05:36] many of whom happen to be minors. Don't worry, our hostages are going to be okay. Under heavy aerial bombardment, under a siege, under these starvation conditions that we're implementing and imposing on the Palestinian people that actually ended up not being the case. [00:05:52] So Hamas is apparently trying to find the bodies and return them. And there is an international task force, that is going to be charged with recovering the rest of the bodies nonetheless. Now, the Israeli Defense minister, Israel Katz, [00:06:07] said in a statement on X that any delay or deliberate avoidance will be considered a gross violation of the agreement and will be responded to accordingly. Later in the show, we'll talk a little bit more about the trip wires that are kind of baked into this agreement, essentially setting up the Palestinians [00:06:24] to to fail for for Hamas to, you know, fall on one of those tripwires and give Israelis the excuse to engage in their campaign of annihilation once again. Now, back to the Palestinian prisoners. Jenk is right. This is a common practice by the Israelis. [00:06:42] They tend to just detain Palestinians, keep them in prison without charging them with a crime. So of the nearly 2000 Palestinians who were released as part of this deal, the vast majority of them had never been charged with a crime. 250 of them [00:07:01] had been tried and convicted of crimes. So there were 250 prisoners specifically. Some were released in Ramallah and Gaza, while others were deported to Egypt. Reporters on the ground say that Palestinians were warned not to celebrate their release and threatened. [00:07:16] They were threatened with arrest if they did so. For all of the Israel supporters on social media who are wondering why people aren't celebrating this, cease fire deal. [00:07:32] I mean, some people literally can't celebrate because if they do, they're going to have to deal with Israeli terror. So among those not released include prominent Palestinians like Hazem Abu Safiya. This is a particularly egregious and disgusting case, because he's the former director of the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza. [00:07:50] He refused to abandon his patients and he paid a heavy price for that. Israel detained him and they refused to release him. You also have Marwan Barghouti, a popular leader who was convicted by an Israeli military court of murder charges back in 2004, and again, [00:08:07] the other 1700 people released were Palestinians that had not been taken from Gaza, that had been taken from Gaza by Israeli troops and held without charge. Israeli forces detained thousands of Palestinians during the war in raids on shelters and hospitals, where all the dangerous people hang out, and at checkpoints, [00:08:25] stopping families as they fled their homes amid military operations. More were held under laws passed in Israel at the start of the war that allowed Palestinians to be detained for months as unlawful combatants without judicial review or access to lawyers. [00:08:41] And if you can recall, Israeli prison guards were caught on camera raping some of these Palestinian hostages. And when it appeared as though maybe the Israeli government might punish some of these Israeli prison guards for committing rape, there were [00:09:00] protests against it by Israeli civilians. So because they're pro-rape terrorists. Those people that are protesting are like, oh my God. Well, now we don't get to rape the Palestinians and imprison them for no reason and occupy and steal their land. [00:09:15] Anti-semite. So Jake, one of the one of the Israeli hostages, I'm sorry, Palestinian hostages, who was detained by the Israelis, was an 18 year old autistic. Autistic man by the. You're looking at video of him right now. [00:09:32] Omar Yahya al shinawi. And it's hard to imagine that, they looked at him, this autistic 18 year old, and thought, oh, yeah, dangerous terrorist. It's just who knows what kind of unspeakable, disgusting things happened to [00:09:50] him while he was detained by the Israelis. Another freed detainee was Haitham Salam, who reportedly learned upon his release that, er, this is a really hard video to watch. So I want to give you guys a warning who learned upon release that his wife and children were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. [00:10:08] Take a look. Oh. No. [00:10:31] Those are among the videos and images that cannot be unseen. So regardless of how much the, you know, how much these, disgusting billionaire Israel defenders tried to buy up our media and pump us [00:10:48] with propaganda in favor of Israel. Those images and those videos are seared in our minds. And on top of that, you have President Donald Trump, who's, like, so utterly brazen and open about his corruption and the fact that he does as he's told by his masters like Miriam Adelson. [00:11:04] You think MAGA is gonna forget about that? I doubt it. Jake. Yeah. We'll see. So, by the way, you'll see that on social media for the time being, until Larry Ellison buys all of social media on behalf of Israel. That's a plan, right? And but you're not going to see it on mainstream media. [00:11:20] Don't be crazy. Right. So those are just Palestinians. The mainstream media thinks they're subhuman. Oh, Israel murdered your wife and kid. Well, you had it coming. Was your fault for being a Palestinian. What are you sitting there on? Israeli. Greater Israel? Israeli land that's Greater Israel for. That's Judea and Samaria. [00:11:39] Get the hell out! Otherwise, you're going to get Israel to murder all of you. And you're all dirty terrorists anyway, right? That's how American media is treated Palestinians their whole lives, and that's how they're treating them now. So everybody's going crazy over the 20 people that are returned because, again, they're real. They're humans. But the Palestinians returned to an absolutely leveled Gaza. [00:11:57] We're going to talk more about it in a minute. 83% of the buildings are gone, gone, gone. Israel leveled the place. And we're going to tell you more the damage that they did a little bit later in the show and the American media is like, yes. So what though? They're just stupid Palestinians. They're not precious Israelis. [00:12:13] In fact, if you think. Wait, Jane. Come on. You sound like you're exaggerating. No. Christine Amanpour, for a brief second was made the mistake of being honest, and she said the hostages are being returned. And, you know, they, had a better fate than some of the people in Gaza. [00:12:30] Now, that's a empirically true statement. At least 66,000 Palestinians have been murdered, 83% civilian kill ratio, the worst in the world. That means the IDF is worse terrorist than Hamas and any other terrorist group out there. They kill more civilians on average per 100 people. [00:12:47] And they did 70th October seven so obviously, some of the people in Gaza were killed in a terribly unjust way. Sniper shots, bombs that had their heads explode, etc.. So, of course, Amanpour had to come out and apologize and said, oh, I'm so sorry. [00:13:03] I'm so sorry. No, of course, Israeli lives are more important. Of course they are. I'm so sorry. I even brought up those dead Palestinians. Who cares about them? They're subhuman. Beloved Israel, beloved Israel. She had to apologize. [00:13:19] Apologize for saying that maybe the people who were murdered by Israel are worse off. No. SH. That would be like treating the Palestinians as if they're human. And that is not allowed in American media. Apologize to Israel. And she and she did. [00:13:35] And every once in a while they point to Amanpour is like, oh, we even let her on TV. And every once in a while she'll have like a half a percent of critique of Israel, and then she'll have to come back out and go. Oh, I'm so sorry. Of course, the Israeli lives are more important than the Palestinians. [00:13:52] They don't see it. They're so disgustingly racist. Everyone in American mainstream media that they're like, what do you mean? Palestinians are terrorists? And Israelis are so moral and Beautiful and they can't see. [00:14:07] It's like asking a fish. How's the water? They're like, what water? So you'll excuse me? Like I. But nevertheless, we care about all human beings, and we don't react in the same way they do. I would genuinely thrilled that those hostages, the 20 hostages, are back. [00:14:23] Seeing the dad reaction, holding on to his son. I felt great empathy for that. Did one person in mainstream media show the same degree of empathy for a single Palestinian hostage that was returned today and not 20, but 1700 hostages, let alone the massacre after massacre after massacre? [00:14:44] No, only sympathy towards Israelis, never sympathy towards Palestinians. So and guys, bottom line is it's not like I'm not against the Trump peace deal. I say they should. Hamas should take it. I'm glad they did. I'm glad Trump made the effort. He did. He made an effort. [00:14:59] Okay. We're going to criticize him for him, you know, kissing up to the donors in a minute. But at least he tried on the piece and we have theoretical peace for however long it lasts, which will be a couple of days. I can't imagine it'll go past two weeks, and then Israel will say, [00:15:14] the Palestinians made us go back to murdering them, back to taking their land. We had no choice. And everyone on cable news will go. The Palestinians made the Israelis do it. They're the dirty terrorist savages. Kill, kill kill kill. And if anybody criticizes Israel. [00:15:31] Anti-semite. Anti-semite. Ruin your life. Ruin your life, ruin your life. No one's allowed to criticize Israel. Now, when I say I. I'm so glad those 20 are back. And I'm glad the 1700 are back. You go on social media. How dare you? How dare I don't even believe you. [00:15:46] You have to say that they're more important than you. They're more important. They're not more important. They're equally important. Okay, but Israel doesn't care about Palestinian lives because they're a sick, racist, terrorist government at this point. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. [00:16:03] Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
