Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'd like to call this segment a realists look at Israel. Jeez,
did we overpay for that theme or something?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I mean, yeah, we have to use it like a
thousand times, even come close to break an evening on
what we paid for it.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Wow, that decision should have been run by me.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Anyway, moving along a handful of stories briefly offered. Perhaps
you heard about this Rashidah Tuleeb, a Michigan Democrat squad
member and America Laster. She has other loyalties. I believe
wants voters to cast ballots for uncommitted rather than President
Biden in Michigan to protest his handling of the Israeli
(00:40):
Hamas War.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I love this statement.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's important to create a voting block, something that is
a bullhorn to say enough is enough. We don't want
a country that supports wars and bombs and destruction. No,
we want a country that supports systematic rape and shooting
children in the chest and burning whole families alive. I
kind of paraphrase that last part there. Thank you for
(01:02):
your input, though, Rashida deer always good to hear from you.
Another quick headline, Israel will not meet Hamas's delusional demands
for hostage deal netanyah, who says again.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Oh yeah, were you going to get to the voting
in the UN yesterday Security Council? Uh no, but go ahead, Yeah,
that's worth mentioning.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Let me find my stuff here. We'll just take a
second kill time.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So they had a vote in the Security Council about
a cease fire. Security Council vote, and you know the
way the Security Council works in the UN, it's kind
of stupid, but it has to be unanimous or it doesn't.
So lots of times the Security Council stuff, a Russia
or a China can stop something from happening with their
one vote. Why you put evil countries on these councils
(01:50):
and let them make decisions is amazing. But anyway, Security
Council vote, should the UN call for a ceasefire in Gaza?
All the yeses France, Japan, South Ecuador, Russia, China, Malta, Ghana, Mozambique, Algeria,
Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Switzerland, the UK abstained only one no.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
In the United States.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Every other country on the Security Council voted yes for
a ceasefire. Only the United States, So to that extent.
The United States is still standing by their friend Israel.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Absolutely not to get lowered down Tangent Boulevard too far.
But the UN is such a useless waste of time
and money. We're calling for a ceasefire. I'm calling for
a pony for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Whatever moving along, I'm calling for long blonde, flowing hair.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Wow ah, that would be disturbing.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Palestinian Authority Prime
Minister Mohammed Stayak called on Hamas to you nighte with
the Palestinian Authority on the on the PA's terms, Russia
has invited all Palestinian infections to meet. He said, we're
ready to engage. If AMAS is not, then that's a
different story. We need Palestinian unity. Then he was asked
about you're going to work with the people who perpetrated
(03:08):
at October seventh, and he replied one should not continue
focusing on October seventh. Palestinian suffering did not start on
October seventh. But with Israel's creation, don't deal with the cosmetics.
You should deal with the roots of the problem. So
the Palestinian authority that glorifies October seventh at home and
compensates the killers financially. The Biden administration is insisting that
(03:32):
the new Palestinian state be created for the Palestinian Authority
to rule, and Israel's supposed to live peacefully side by.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Side with them. What the hell universe do you live in?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I can explain what universe the universe where you claim
publicly the killing must stop so you don't lose Michigan. Meanwhile,
behind the scenes, you're telling Israel, if you have an
ounce of common sense, you're telling him do what you
gotta do minimize civilian casualties. Moving along, Israel is building
a road bisecting Gaza to prepare for the next phase
(04:05):
of war. They're essentially building a multi lane gravel highway
so they can move military gear and equipment in and
out quickly as they manage Gaza going forward. Israel has
found the medicines for the hostages that were negotiated as
as the part of the last hostage release.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, they found them all in Gaza.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
None of them delivered to the hostages as per the
agreement with HUMAS. So there's a shock AMAS that skims
eighty five cents off of every dollar that goes to
aid the civilians.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
There's another headline for you.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Palestinian authority security forces behind dozens of recent attacks on Israel.
Wait a minute, the Palestinian authority, those are the reasonable guys,
and they're supposed to be working with Israel to crack
down on terror groups in the West Bank. Their very
guys are perpetrating those attacks. Two states.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Blah blah blah. Here's another one.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
The IDF says an Al Jazeera reporter is actually ah
Mosque commander who was president at the October seventh massacre.
This guy's been a reporter for Al Jazeera for years
and was an actual commander leading guys on the raids. Okay,
Al Jazeera very nice and finally this I think this
is finally. This isn't it?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
The Free began is pointing out that Katar, where the
Hamas leaders chill and enjoy their billions and billions of dollars.
How did these guys get billions of dollars software development? Oh? Oh, sorry, no,
I meant siphoning off international aid. That's their sole source
of income. Anyway, Katar has spent.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Sie care about the Palestinians less than you do.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Do you get that they care about them as a
leverage to enrich themselves. So Tar or do you say
proper pronunciation has spent six billion dollars lobbying the US
government and funding US universities.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I've seen a handful of stories pause.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
America's universities are not only neo Marxist and doctrination factories,
but they have sucked up billions of dollars from China
and billions of dollars from Hudder, which is advocating anti
Israel rhetoric and up with the Palestinians and soft pedaling
(06:40):
of Islamism. Some of our finest universities are captured by
some of the worst people on earth.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
That is correct.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
From seven through twenty twenty three, Guitars made eleven hundred
and sixteen donations to American universities, totally five point seven
billion dollars. Records show accusations Doaes using his influence with
the country's top schools to mainstream propaganda that portrays Israel
in a negative light, among other things.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
So that's why, at best, a lot of universities like
Princeton kept their mouths shut after October seventh. At worst,
today flat out chose the side of Hamas.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So yeah, our universities they're sugar daddies, are communists and Islamists.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Awesome, I like that. Where is the dumbest country ever?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I'm on this. I've mentioned this. I'm on this, Monock
and began kick of all things. I might be the
only person in the country or the world reading a
biography that listening to a biography that came out about
him a while back, and then reading the revolt that
began wrote I don't know nearly nineties about when he
(07:52):
was leading a group against the Brits when the Brits
were running Palestine but not allowing Jews into Israel during
World War Two. So they were attacking the Brits. The
Brits were hanging Jews, that they would catch the Jews
there in Israel. Well it wasn't Israel at the time
(08:13):
would catch Brits and hang them. I mean it was.
It was pretty brutal. And it's just the complication of
all these kind of things. Our founding, anybody's founding, all
so much more complicated at the time than you know.
Through the rosy glow of distance. Ben Curry and the
first Prime Minister when the founding Fathers of Israel, was
trying to have them knock them. Began killed literally having
(08:35):
killed trying to have him assassinated. Began becomes prime Minister,
the Saint, the sixth Prime Minister, and is currently the
most popular whenever they poll of all, so, their founder
and the most popular prime minister over time were trying
to kill each other at one point. It's just it's
interesting things unfold so much more, so, much more messily
(08:56):
than as we look back on history a lot of times,
and of.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Course the further we go, the more grossly oversimplified the
description of what happened comes to the point that it's useless,
Right to the point that it's useless, correct, Armstrong and
Getty
