00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			If you are someone who still
supports Israel right now, I just
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			have four statements. I have
questions for you on how do you
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			support a government which Amnesty
International has called an
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			apartheid regime, when their Prime
Minister says, this is a struggle
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			between the children of light and
the children of darkness, between
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			humanity and the law of the
jungle, so legit, he's basically
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:24
			just saying that children,
Palestinian children, are animals
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			from the jungle. That's, I mean,
that's not a surprise, considering
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			that there are no innocent
civilians in Gaza. There are over
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			2 million individuals in the
ghaza. Over a million of them are
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			children under the age of 18. They
were not born, or were very little
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			children when Hamas was elected
into power. They're calling
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			Palestinians human animals, which
is ripe language for genocide.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			Netanyahu himself told his
cabinet, anyone who wants to
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			thwart the establishment of a
Palestinian state has to support
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			bolstering Hamas and transferring
money to Hamas. This is part of
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			our strategy. I've had people tell
me, then, why don't the people of
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			latza Just leave? Why don't the
people of Gaza just leave the safe
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			roads that Israel gave to
Palestinians. They then bombed
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			them. Wait. But then the next
option is the Rafah border. And
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			actually you're
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			saying civilians can leave, but
only to the Rafah border, correct
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			at this point, yeah. So they can't
cause Where is. But then they
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			bombed the Rafa border. Israel
bombed it. So Marco Mont Hill
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:26
			actually gives a solution at this
point. So they can't cause where
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			is your country? They can come
into Israel.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:37
			Israel won't allow them into
occupy Palestine. They will not
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			allow them to cross through quote,
unquote, safe roads that they
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
			bomb, they will not allow them to
leave the Rafa border. The only
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49
			other option is the sea, the sea
which Israel controls. So it's
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:55
			very believable when Israel then
bombs a Palestinian Christian
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			hospital, and the majority of the
victims are children and
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			civilians. I think so many of you
have told yourselves that this is
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			in retaliation to Hamas, and if
Hamas hadn't started it, then
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			Israel wouldn't be doing this to
Gaza. Of course, civilians should
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:16
			never be targeted. But this is not
about Hamas. Imagine a world
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			without Hamas, right? What will
this world look like? Let's give
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			this word a name, and let's name
this word the West Bank. Hamas has
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			absolutely no control in the West
Bank, and this is the beginning of
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31
			this street. Only through August,
37 Palestinian kids were killed.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:37
			No music festival, no paragliding,
no Hamas. Since the occupation of
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			the West Bank, 7000 Palestinians
were killed. No music festival, no
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:46
			paragliding, no Hames. 75 years of
genocide and displacement is
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			missing in the context of all of
these conversations in mass media.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			So you tell me, after over 1000
children have been murdered, that
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			number has gone up today, because
look at the rhetoric of the media
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			that maybe you are actively
consuming. Israel accused of
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			blasting hospital accused. And if
you want to tell me that Israel
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			didn't do it, then what about the
Israeli spokesperson saying
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			breaking Israeli Air Force struck
a Hamas terrorist space inside a
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			hospital in oledza. A multiple
number of terrorists are dead.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			Which terrorists are they talking
about? The little girl or the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			infant that are being held the
hundreds of children that were
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			murdered, the doctors that are
caring for these children, they
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			are children whose limbs have been
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			cut off. There's a video of a man
holding his
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			children's limbs
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:44
			in plastic bags. Hundreds of
videos like this, and I've seen so
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			many. They are available for you
to see. If you just take a minute
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:52
			to look, this is a day in my life.
We're at war edition, if Israelis
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			can make videos on this is a day
in my life war edition, about
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			trying to get gluten free bread to
soldiers. When I just saw a little
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:05
			boy's body, he was like, crisp. I
want you to ask yourself, when
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			these are the statements being
made by the actual leaders, how
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			can you look yourself in the
mirror
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:17
			and and know that when people said
in the past, how did we ever let
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			that happen? Who didn't stop them?
How could they even let that
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			happen. That person right now is
you.
