Here is just a flavor of what happened at this Palestine, pro-Palestine rally in Michigan
last night, Sat 14.
We are not going to be intimidated by staying silent when they say Hamas is a terrorist
organization.
The fact is it is not a terrorist organization.
And we have to say to them, the terrorist is Benjamin Netanyahu and his government.
I mean, it was a packed house in support, cheering for this message.
In the wake of what we just saw, to say Hamas is not a terrorist organization.
I would go, I would say this, that the speaker that you just saw, the college students who
have expressed their solidarity, Black Lives Matter in Chicago with their tweet that had
the hang gliders saying free Palestine.
These people in the left and outside of the area are traitors, not just to the Palestinian
cause.
They are false friends.
What Hamas has done, and if it's true that it was on behalf of Iran, is going to bring
misery to Palestinians, full stop.
It's going to diplomatically and internationally isolate the Palestinian movement.
It does not accomplish anything.
And it is, in my view, racist to assume that Palestinians are savages and would endorse
the savagery of the groups that purport to rule them.
So when I see that man saying that Hamas are not terrorists and the real terrorist
is Israel, I think as a Jew that it's disgusting.
But I also think, you know, just as a human being, that this is no friend of the Palestinians.
This is not somebody who has the best interests of Palestinians in mind.
This is somebody who is reveling and glorying the murder of Jews, and it's disgusting.
The report just breaking now via I-24 News, the Israeli Defense Force says it has not
identified any impact and no reports of wounded following drone infiltration alerts in northern
Israel.
So we heard the sirens and we saw the initial reports, but they're not identifying any wounded
or impact from the infiltration so far.
That story is developing and we'll see where it goes.
The leftist lawmakers seem to be really struggling right now on how to message this, Eli.
I bring you Ed Markey, who is holding an event, senator from Massachusetts, yesterday.
Elizabeth Warren is right behind him and he decides to hit on the de-escalation message.
It was just Monday.
He decides to hit on the de-escalation.
I mean, this is before Israel's even had a chance to do anything in response to the attack
on it.
But listen to how it went.
Listen to how this went.
There must be a de-escalation of the current violence.
The United States should leave.
He looks befuddled.
And you know, this is a left wing crowd.
Who else shows up to listen to Ed Markey and Senator Elizabeth Warren speak?
I think that the moment has really, I mean, I think what we heard there is zombie peace
processing.
I mean, this is the talking points of 25 years ago and the Clinton administration, the cycle
of violence, looking at root causes of savagery.
And, you know, it's hard to sort of let it go, has been the talking point now for the
Democrats and, you know, 10, 15 years ago, Republicans too.
And it no longer applies.
These people have shown us who they are and we have to act accordingly.
I think the Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli spokesmen have been right when they say that
Hamas is like ISIS.
I would say that, you know, they are like, you know, the sort of savage hordes throughout
human history, whether they're the Mongols or the Romans or the Mesopotamians.
But the only thing you can do in the face of such evil is to wipe it out.
The media is complicit in that same message that Ed Markey just attempted.
Not only do they try to downplay the evils of Hamas by, you know, the way they reference
Hamas, but they are very pro-de-escalation as a norm and will probably quickly switch
to that message entirely.
I'll give you just a couple of examples that jumped out at me.
New York Times, they published a story, Hamas Leaves Trail of Terror in Israel, and in it
they referred to Hamas terrorists.
Then they changed, this is via Greg Price on Twitter, then they changed it to Hamas
Leaves Trail of Terror in Israel and changed it from Hamas terrorists to Hamas gunmen.
Even the president is saying terrorists.
It's okay, New York Times, you can say it.
Up north, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp, which is even further left than MSNBC, if
that's possible, they sent out a memo that was leaked, their director of journalistic
standards, to all their journalists saying, do not refer to militants, soldiers, or anyone
else as terrorists.
They say that's opinion, not fact.
Even the Canadians and their government recognize Hamas as a terrorist group.
So why won't they write it?
I mean, I could argue that I agree with the CBC.
We shouldn't call them terrorists, we should call them diabolical barbarians.
Are you serious?
This is ridiculous.
Was anybody having this discussion after 9-11 about Al-Qaeda?
Was anybody having this discussion after ISIS beheads American aid workers?
It's ridiculous.
It seems like it's a constant double standard for Israel that's in the media, but fortunately
the media does not really hold the same position right now in our politics and our society
in the West than it did before because of alternative platforms like yours, or the
free press.
