Ana STUNS Iran War Defenders Into SILENCE
TYT's Ana Kasparian confronted former general and U.S. assistant secretary of state Mark Kimmitt after he accused her of using a trope.
- 13 minutes
I'd like to answer my question
why is that considered a trope?
Why is it considered a trope
to be concerned about American soldiers
during these endless, nonsensical wars?
Why is that considered a trope?
How many times.
Have you gone to Arlington
and paid your respects to talking.
To you, you terrorist piece of crap?
I'm talking to the general.
[00:00:17]
- Okay, tell me why.
- Please keep the ad hominem down.
I want.
- American soldiers.
- Can we go back to the parade?
Answer the question.
Well, I was accused of engaging in a trope
today while on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
[00:00:33]
Before I show you the ridiculous argument.
Your $0.02.
Yeah.
So first of all, they attacked me
on that show, so I'll respond.
Second of all, I know some folks grew up
and they're good people thinking
that there are all these tropes are real.
[00:00:49]
And you have to like, you know,
squash the tropes and stuff.
No, they're weaponized by Israel to try
to stop anyone from criticizing them.
Sometimes they're made up
on the spot as you're about to see.
Yeah.
And I'll give you another example
of another totally made up trope.
[00:01:05]
So I'm sick of their trope trope
trope trope trope
because after you weaponize it,
then I'm sorry, but I'm not going to care.
Oh, but I used it to defend myself
when I murdered 20,000 children, a trope.
No, I don't care, I don't care.
You've lost the right for me to care.
[00:01:21]
While when you weaponize every single one
of them to kill more people, take more
land and use more of our money to do it.
Enough with the moral stains
that Israel has put on us.
Go ahead Anna.
So it all started when I had
the displeasure of realizing
[00:01:37]
that the disbarred Goldie Ghamari
was on this panel.
Now she's one of the women who were
laughing as Jenk on the last episode
of the Piers Morgan Show was discussing
the death of American soldiers.
[00:01:53]
As we keep getting dragged into these wars
in the Middle East on behalf of Israel.
So I asked her if she was willing
to apologize for her conduct
the last time she appeared on his show.
Let's see how that went down.
First, I would like to ask Goldy
whether she apologizes for laughing as
[00:02:10]
Jake Unger on the last episode he was on,
was talking about dead American soldiers
as a result of wars that the U.S.
Gets dragged into on behalf of Israel.
Goldy, do you apologize for laughing
at the thought of dead American soldiers?
[00:02:25]
Ana, no one's buying
your jihadi propaganda lies.
Everyone knows that Alex and I
were laughing at jihadi.
Propaganda to be concerned about
dead American soldiers who were forced
to fight on behalf of Israel.
Interesting. Okay.
- To answer your question.
- I answer the question. 175 little.
[00:02:42]
Girls have been slaughtered in an Iranian.
- School.
- That was okay.
Hang on, hang on, hang on,
hang on, hang on one second.
Anna. Anna.
Anna. Anna, hang on one second.
You asked her a question,
so I will let Goldy respond.
Then you can respond to my question.
Well, she responded by claiming
I'm sharing jihadi propaganda.
[00:03:00]
I'm talking about dead American soldiers.
So do you apologize or not?
Now, the real question is,
is she going to apologize?
Because the first thing
that came out of her mouth was,
oh, you're spewing jihadi propaganda.
Okay, whatever.
We know that American soldiers have died
as a result of fighting these wars
[00:03:17]
on behalf of Israel, including in Iraq.
What was the death toll in Iraq
for American soldiers?
Well, we had, I think, over 5000 dead,
over 50,000 injured.
- Lots and lots of casualties.
- In Afghanistan and Iraq.
Yeah, yeah.
And overall, the global war on terror,
which was the global war on Israel's
[00:03:34]
enemies, has cost us $8 trillion.
We buried a lot of soldiers
for Israel already.
We sure have.
So is she going to apologize?
Because again, she was laughing as Jake
was talking about this on the show.
- Let's take a look.
- Thank you.
So we were laughing at Shanks
bizarre anti-Semitic tropes
[00:03:51]
about how Israel is responsible for every
single incident that happens in the war.
We were not laughing at American soldiers.
And you actually edited the video.
You edited the video. So there you go.
Everyone knows that you're lying.
You're you're a laughing stock.
You're a joke.
[00:04:06]
Everyone can go back
and watch the episode.
- Don't care about anything.
- For Pierce's show.
And that's true.
I'm not the editor for Pierce Morgan
Uncensored, so you guys can check out
the episode for yourselves and see that
she was cracking up as Jake was talking
about something incredibly serious,
which is the loss of American soldiers
as they fight these wars
[00:04:24]
on behalf of a foreign country.
Now, later, this is the relevant part.
General Mark Kimmitt,
who is I didn't know this, but he happens
to be the US Assistant Secretary of state.
You know, he made a bold claim.
Let's take a look at what that claim was.
[00:04:40]
Ana, please quit using the tropes
on American soldiers.
I've had to bury seven American soldiers.
- They went into the battlefield.
- How was it a trope?
How is it a trope? How is it a trope to.
See American soldiers die
on behalf of Israel's wars?
[00:04:56]
How is that a trope?
- Explain that to.
- Me. Nobody is dying on behalf of Israel.
I'm not going to dignify that.
Let me read you. Let me.
Let me read you
what Israeli media has been saying.
So American soldiers came
under friendly fire in Kuwait.
I don't know if any of them have died.
Hopefully none of them have died.
[00:05:15]
But on channel 12, Nev. Raskin said this.
We need to emphasize this is an incident
involving American forces
and not, heaven forbid,
an incident involving Israeli forces.
Okay. So I read that comment.
[00:05:31]
Guys, I can't emphasize enough.
If you want to know what's actually going
on, please watch and read Israeli media.
And Kimmitt was unable to defend
what he just smeared me with.
In fact, I wouldn't let it go.
And so I'm going to go to one last video
and then we'll open it up to you, Jake.
[00:05:49]
Take a look.
I'd like to answer my question.
Why is that considered a trope?
Why is it considered a trope
to be concerned about American soldiers
during these endless, nonsensical wars.
Why is that considered a trope?
How many times have you gone
to Arlington and paid your respects?
I'm talking to.
[00:06:04]
You, Rodriguez,
you terrorist piece of crap.
I'm talking to the general.
Okay, tell. Me. Why.
Please keep the ad hominem down.
I want to hang on. American soldier.
- Can we go back to the.
- Parade?
- Answer the question.
- Nothing.
Be fair to Ana Kasparian.
Just answer her question.
Why you view that as a trope?
That what she said?
[00:06:21]
I'm not going to dignify it
with a response.
You just want to smear me with nonsensical
claims, but you can't even answer
why you even believe in the smear.
What is the trope?
You can't answer it, right?
That's a that's a former military general.
[00:06:37]
Yeah, and you messed him up, man.
So look, he says, oh, Ana, you're doing
a trope which means you're an anti-Semite
who's using a trope against Jewish people,
and then you go, well, what's the trope?
I don't even understand
what you're saying.
He's like,
I'm not going to dignify that with.
[00:06:53]
Wait wait wait wait wait wait.
Then why did you say that she was doing
a trope like, it's a literal question.
We're not like, oh, we're debating you.
We don't even understand
what you're saying.
So it turns out he didn't have an answer.
No, he didn't.
Because what they get these idiots,
they get these talking points.
[00:07:10]
Now, remember, when you're debating
anyone that's an actual American and and
and actually looking out for American
interests just called him an anti-Semite.
It doesn't really matter what they say.
Just say it's a trope
because there's a million tropes.
So like, maybe we'll find one later,
but it doesn't matter.
[00:07:27]
Just call him an anti-Semite.
And if you notice, I like piers.
Okay, so I'm not in the camp of like,
oh, piers is bad.
And he did something against me
in this show.
- He did?
- Yeah, yeah.
It's okay. I'm.
I'm a grown man.
I could I'll handle piers. Okay.
Don't forget noble mobile
saving you a ton of money.
[00:07:44]
So a lot of people are signing up now and
beginning to realize what the hell, why am
I paying so much to Verizon and AT&T?
So your bills only $50 a month, but it
can actually be less because they give
you money back if you don't use your data.
So if you're paying more than $50,
there's no reason to not switch.
It's crazy not to switch because
same phone, same number, same contacts.
[00:08:03]
Literally nothing changes. Titcomb.
Titcomb. All right, we'll be right back.
But if you notice there,
when Goldie called Anna a jihadist,
there was no saying, hey, no, no, no,
no ad hominem attacks.
[00:08:19]
- To be fair.
- To be fair to Pierce.
Sorry to interrupt, but to be fair to him,
he knows I can handle myself.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
No, no, but but wait a minute, though,
so it gets pointed out as an ad
hominem attack when you call corny
or whatever stupid name is a terrorist.
[00:08:35]
But when you're called a terrorist,
that's not at home.
That's true, that's true. Good point.
Yeah. Why?
Because Israel and their supporters
are allowed to smear everyone else.
But if you say anything,
anything about them, how dare you?
Those are precious Israelis.
[00:08:51]
They matter so much more
than every other human being.
Okay, so by the way,
I just want to make sure
that I get the correct facts to you guys.
I said that off the top of my head
about the Iraqi casualties.
It was 4500 casualties,
dead Americans and 32,000 injured in Iraq.
[00:09:06]
And obviously hundreds of thousands
of innocent civilians in Iraq,
all liberated because Israel said they
were their number one enemy at the time.
And oh my God,
they were helping the proxy groups.
They were helping Hamas and Hezbollah.
[00:09:22]
So America had to lose 4500 of our
best men and have 32,000,
lose their legs, get concussions, etc.
Also, Israel could stop Iraq
from helping proxy groups.
[00:09:37]
And now here we are again.
By the way, our media told us they
weren't going to fall for it next time.
Fake weapons of mass destruction.
Here we are,
fake weapons of mass destruction.
We're going to liberate the Iraqis.
We're going to liberate the Iranians.
It'll be easy. It'll be easy.
[00:09:55]
Okay, so yeah. No media.
You're all liars.
Every one of you.
You all fell for it again.
You didn't fall for it. You love it.
- You wanted this war for Israel.
- You cheered it on.
You cheered it on in Iraq. You cheered on.
Cheered it on in Iran.
You cheated on in Libya.
You cheered on everywhere.
[00:10:12]
Israel makes us go to war and.
But keep keep the news from the real news
from the American people.
Don't tell them that it's Israel.
In fact, if they say it's Israel,
just call it a trope.
What trope is it? I don't know.
Who cares?
I'm not going to dignify that
with a response.
Then why'd you say it?
[00:10:28]
Okay, by the way, here's another one
of the tropes that they throw out there
that I promised you guys.
So you say, hey, you killed 20,000 kids
in Gaza at a bare minimum.
That's true. It's indisputable.
In fact, the IDF has now confirmed
the 70,000 dead overall,
including the 20,000 children.
They go trope.
[00:10:43]
What trope? What?
What? They're like, oh, it's blood libel.
No no no, no.
Blood libel is from like, the 1800s.
This absurd thing about Jewish people
drinking the blood of Christian children.
That has nothing to do with in a war.
You killed X number of children.
Nobody said you drank their blood
or they were babies or any of that stuff.
[00:11:02]
Oh, so now you're using the trope 100%
to cover up your faults
and your war crimes and your genocide.
You see how obvious that is?
And you'll see it not just in the past.
You'll see a million of them in the past,
but going forward.
Now in Iran, when we talk about
the 175 schoolgirls they killed,
[00:11:20]
they'll go blood libel, blood libel.
But did you or did you not kill them?
I'm not going to dignify that
with an answer.
Chop chop chop chop chop chop chop.
So look.
Anyway. All right.
My Jewish brothers and sisters,
I love you guys.
This isn't about you,
but I know you've been trained to believe
[00:11:37]
that all the tropes are like,
oh, my God, they're coming to get us.
They're coming to get us.
We have to defend ourselves, right?
No, no, no, no.
Israel has weaponized the tropes.
It's not like they never existed.
That blood libel thing did exist,
but they've now weaponized it.
[00:11:53]
And what they're doing
is they're putting you in harm's way.
Because when you do
a legitimate criticism of Israel, they go,
nope, I'm hiding behind Jewish people.
You're attacking all Jews.
All Jews are responsible
for all the war crimes of Israel.
No they're not, no they're not.
That's actually a trope.
Okay.
[00:12:08]
That's actually a disgusting way
to endanger Jewish Americans
and Jews across the world.
Just because Israel wants more land,
more war, more death
and wake up Jewish Americans.
I've been told my whole life, sorry, guys,
but I got to say it my whole life,
[00:12:24]
every time there was some random
idiot terrorist that does a bombing,
all Muslims have to apologize.
That's it. March them all out.
You all have to say you did it
and you're sorry I didn't do it.
What the hell?
I got nothing to do with a rando
from Afghanistan that I've never met.
[00:12:40]
That has nothing to do with me at all.
No, you all have to apologize,
you dirty Muslims.
They told us my whole life.
Now, when you say, hey, it's not Jewish
people, it's Israel that's doing it.
And I'm trying so hard to keep that line
so it doesn't cross over.
[00:12:56]
And we don't get into ugly situations
here in America.
And what do they say?
Who cares about you
trying to preserve the line?
No. That's it. You criticize Israel.
It's a Jewish state.
You're an anti-Semite.
All right. Okay, so where are you guys?
Where are you guys?
Can you stand up and look?
[00:13:12]
The young Jewish Americans
have already shown up.
They're a huge part of the peace movement.
There's all sorts of Robert Greenwald,
Glenn Greenwald, Dave,
when we go on with thousand names.
Right.
But Jewish American leaders,
are you ever going to stand up and say,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
this genocide is not on our behalf.
[00:13:32]
No. This horrible, horrific war
is not on our behalf.
So, no.
And of course, the answer is no way.
All Muslims must apologize
for all other Muslims.
But no, we will never ask
any Jewish American
to ever say an unkind word about Israel.
[00:13:49]
And if you try, you're an anti-Semite.
Okay, I got you.
The double standards are maddening.
