[00:00:28] So, we do have the confirmation, Yah-Yah, he's dead. Senwar, the Hamas top leader, the mastermind of October 7th with close ties to the militant wing of Hamas. He's, yeah, taking the celestial dirt nap. And now this is being used as the latest excuse to call for Israel to stop.

[00:00:59] Pressing the fight. The Associated Press, in a piece by Tia Goldenberg and Jack Jeffrey. Headline Senwar's killing means much uncertainty for the war in Gaza, but also possible opportunity. Really covering all the bases with that headline. Like, stop the presses. There's uncertainty in war? You don't say.

[00:01:30] Israel's killing of Yahya Senwar, Hamas's top leader and the mastermind of the group's October 7th attack, is a dramatic turning point in the brutal year-long war that it touched off.

[00:01:45] Senwar's killing on Thursday decapitates the Palestinian militant group that has already been reeling from months of assassinations up and down its ranks.

[00:01:57] And it is a potent symbolic achievement for Israel in its battle to destroy Hamas.

[00:02:04] The killing comes just 10 days after Israelis and Palestinians marked one year since the deadliest fighting in their decades-old conflict erupted.

[00:02:14] And it could set the stage for how the remainder of the war plays out.

[00:02:23] This is one of the, this is the equivalent of, it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

[00:02:29] Yeah, or maybe it won't be interesting. I don't know. You don't know either.

[00:02:36] But it could also prompt the war's conclusion.

[00:02:39] And we could all start pooping gold and all be rich.

[00:02:43] Actually, no, we wouldn't be rich because then you would have just a surplus of gold making its way through the economy.

[00:02:49] Although I don't know if anybody would want to actually touch it in order to trade it.

[00:02:52] But I digress.

[00:02:53] Depending on how Israel and Hamas choose to proceed, right, that's going to determine how things proceed.

[00:03:00] This is some real, real high-level, deep-diving, you know, wizard of smart kind of analysis we are getting from the Associated Press.

[00:03:12] So, the next section here is titled,

[00:03:16] Sinwar's death could serve as an off-ramp for Israel toward ending the war.

[00:03:23] Please, oh, please, oh, please, oh, please.

[00:03:25] All right, that's, this is the, this is the, it's the equivalent of the, hey, Republicans better be careful not to overreach on this issue.

[00:03:39] That's usually the kind of coverage you get when something bad has happened to Democrats.

[00:03:43] When they've, you know, they're losing an issue or an election or there's some scandal.

[00:03:49] There's always this, this helpful advice that's offered up by media people.

[00:03:56] That's like, well, you might not want to overreach here, Republicans.

[00:03:59] Like, don't make too much political hay out of this.

[00:04:03] Like, we don't want you benefiting too much from this self-inflicted wound here.

[00:04:07] So, the same is the same vibe, which is Israel, you know, might not want to press too hard here now that all of the leadership of Hamas has been eliminated and, sorry, well, the militant wing leadership.

[00:04:25] Because the, the diplomatic and the political wing, you know, the guys who just run the trash service for the Palestinians in the West Bank, they're still holed up in Qatar in their luxury suites.

[00:04:39] Senwar was appointed as head of Hamas after its previous leader was killed.

[00:04:46] He got taken out in July.

[00:04:49] Senwar spent years building up Hamas's military strength and is believed to have devised the October 7th, 2023 attack.

[00:05:00] After that assault, when Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people and abducted about 250 others, Israel pledged to destroy Hamas and kill each one of its leaders.

[00:05:15] By the way, a key point in the negotiations was that Senwar was demanding that he not be touched.

[00:05:24] That would, that had to be part of the deal.

[00:05:27] It's like, okay, fine, we'll give you back all of the murdered hostages, but you can't do anything to me.

[00:05:35] You promise? You pinky swear? Okay, that's part of the deal. You can't kill me. Boom! Oh, he's dead.

[00:05:41] So, don't know what's going to happen now with the negotiations.

[00:05:45] With Senwar at the top of the wanted list, his death is a major achievement for Israel.

[00:05:51] Analysts say that Senwar's killing has presented Israel with an off-ramp.

[00:05:57] Because Israel, the AP says, has struggled to articulate an exit strategy from Gaza.

[00:06:05] Yeah, I don't think they have one.

[00:06:08] Because I don't think there is one.

[00:06:10] Seriously, I don't think there is an exit strategy for Gaza.

[00:06:14] Because I don't think there can be one.

[00:06:16] Like, what does that look like?

[00:06:18] You withdraw all the troops and you turn it over to the Palestinians to govern themselves?

[00:06:23] Oh, that's right, they did that.

[00:06:24] Yeah, they did that.

[00:06:26] And Hamas went about, well, Palestinians first went about electing Hamas.

[00:06:31] Hamas then murdered a whole bunch of the Palestinian Authority people who were the ones in charge,

[00:06:37] you know, organizing the trash collection and sewer services.

[00:06:42] But totally not engaging in any kind of militant behavior.

[00:06:45] So then Hamas won the election, killed a bunch of the Palestinians,

[00:06:49] and then proceeded to build all the tunnels with all of the foreign aid with the help of the UNRWA.

[00:06:56] I think it's how they pronounce that.

[00:06:58] The UN Relief Workers Agency, UNRWA.

[00:07:02] Which, surprise, surprise, tunnels and weapons caches buried underneath the UNRWA schools,

[00:07:09] the UNRWA schools, and clinics and hospitals.

[00:07:13] We had no idea.

[00:07:14] These people coming in from these shafts just out of the bottom of the hospital floors every day.

[00:07:20] It's very weird.

[00:07:21] No idea.

[00:07:25] With the architect of the October 7th attacks eliminated,

[00:07:29] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could now tell Israelis that one of the war's aims has been reached.

[00:07:37] Yeah, see, I don't, look, I have not been following the day-to-day operations in Gaza and Lebanon and all that,

[00:07:45] but I do recall something the other day about the, something about going after, who was it?

[00:07:53] Oh, that's right, it was Iran.

[00:07:54] Remember?

[00:07:55] The Israelis are, they're looking to chop off the head of the snake, which is Iran.

[00:08:01] Iran has been funding all of these proxies.

[00:08:03] They've been building up their weapons cache.

[00:08:07] And they then used it against Israel.

[00:08:10] So Israel is like, you know what, we're going to take out you.

[00:08:12] We're going to take out you.

[00:08:13] You know, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis.

[00:08:17] We're going to take all you proxies out, and then we're going to chop off the head of the snake.

[00:08:22] So I kind of feel like that might be their exit ramp.

[00:08:26] Because I don't know if this gets any better, if Iran still gets to keep all of its billions and billions of dollars that, yes, we gave back to them, but also that they make off of their oil exports.

[00:08:39] Not a foreign policy expert am I.

[00:08:42] But if I'm Iran, I think I'd be looking to build some sort of an iron dome to place it around your oil refineries and your main distribution shipping points.

[00:08:54] You know, that's just me.

[00:08:56] Some free advice for you.

[00:08:59] Politically, this might allow Benjamin Netanyahu to now be more flexible on a ceasefire deal.

[00:09:06] Be more flexible, baby.

[00:09:08] Be more flexible.

[00:09:10] So you could end the war in exchange for the hostages back.

[00:09:13] Because we all know that a ceasefire means until I rearm.

[00:09:21] Right?

[00:09:21] That's what ceasefire means in the Middle East.

[00:09:23] A ceasefire or truce, whatever, is just like, okay, I'm down on the mat.

[00:09:29] You got your, you know, foot on my neck.

[00:09:32] I'm probably going to pass out momentarily.

[00:09:34] And so let's just have a ceasefire so I can get up, catch my breath, collect a bunch more weapons, recruit more militants, and then we can fight again.

[00:09:44] How about that?

[00:09:44] I can kill a bunch more innocent people and such.

[00:09:46] And I kind of feel like the Israelis are just about done with this cycle.

[00:09:50] Do you get that feeling?

[00:09:52] I also get the feeling that what we have witnessed over the last year is going to be celebrated by Jews for like the next thousand years.

[00:10:04] I get that feeling.

[00:10:07] Again, not a foreign policy expert.

[00:10:41] We'll be right back.

[00:11:31] All right.

[00:11:32] Last year.

[00:11:34] That means it's time for a ceasefire.

[00:11:37] That's right.

[00:11:38] They're completely shifting.

[00:11:41] I know it.

[00:11:41] It's like a whole different message now.

[00:11:43] Like before they wanted Israel to stop fighting.

[00:11:47] And now, after the success that Israel has had, now they say it's the perfect time for Israel to also stop fighting.

[00:11:56] Right.

[00:11:57] So the ceasefire deal, according to the Associated Press, has been refused by the Israelis, also by Hamas, by the way.

[00:12:10] But Israelis, and specifically the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, apparently he does not want to accept any kind of a ceasefire because it could threaten his rule.

[00:12:21] Note that the Hamas leaders, they don't rule.

[00:12:26] Okay.

[00:12:28] The word rule is not used to describe Hamas or Yaya Senwar, the guy who just got whacked.

[00:12:36] That is not the word that we use.

[00:12:38] He's just the leader.

[00:12:39] See?

[00:12:40] Now, the prime minister of Israel, who was elected, formed a coalition government and all that.

[00:12:47] He rules, you see.

[00:12:49] And so any kind of a ceasefire deal threatens his rule.

[00:12:54] Analysts say the achievement was such a game changer that it's an opportunity for Israel to do the thing that we've demanded they do for the last year.

[00:13:04] Yeah.

[00:13:06] Yeah.

[00:13:07] These are foreign policy brain trusts right here.

[00:13:13] It's an opportunity for Israel to signal that it is ready to end the fighting further afield in the region, including in Lebanon, where Israel is battling Hezbollah.

[00:13:27] This is the same message, guys.

[00:13:29] I don't know if you're aware, but this is the exact same thing that you have been saying for the last year.

[00:13:35] The whole year.

[00:13:37] In fact, it was Joe Biden and Kamala Harris who said, stay out of Rafa.

[00:13:45] Remember?

[00:13:46] You know where Yaya Senwar was eliminated?

[00:13:51] I'll give you three guesses.

[00:13:52] First two don't count.

[00:13:53] That's right.

[00:13:54] It was Rafa.

[00:13:55] That's where he was.

[00:13:58] Yeah.

[00:13:58] Yeah.

[00:13:59] So when our administration told Bibi and the Israelis don't go into Rafa, stay out of Rafa.

[00:14:08] You think Senwar knew that?

[00:14:10] Of course he did.

[00:14:11] That's been the play the whole time.

[00:14:14] Is you get the world to turn on Israel.

[00:14:17] And let's face it, that's a pretty good bet because the world really does enjoy turning on the Jews.

[00:14:24] Right?

[00:14:24] I mean, they really, there's, there are few things that they can't resist more than turning against Jews.

[00:14:34] Netanyahu rules.

[00:14:36] There it is again.

[00:14:36] He rules with the support of two far right parties.

[00:14:41] That, see, here's again.

[00:14:42] This is it again.

[00:14:43] Like Netanyahu and his position and the government's position on this war is shared by the vast majority of Israelis.

[00:14:54] In fact, a large portion of the people that were murdered on October 7th were the people that were like, let's live side by side with the Palestinians.

[00:15:05] And they're just, you know, oppressed by our awful government.

[00:15:09] And like, these were the peaceniks.

[00:15:10] These were the lefties in Israel.

[00:15:12] That's why they were on the border down there on their farms, their communes, their kibbutzes.

[00:15:19] And the Palestinians did not care.

[00:15:22] They committed all sorts of atrocities against these people.

[00:15:26] The ones that were the closest thing to an ally that the Palestinians had inside Israel were murdered barbarically because they don't care about the Jews.

[00:15:41] They don't.

[00:15:43] They teach their children and have for generations to murder all the Jews.

[00:15:49] So.

[00:15:50] Netanyahu is, quote, ruling over a society that agrees with him.

[00:15:55] How dare he?

[00:15:58] The nerve of that guy.

[00:15:59] Dare I say the chutzpah.

[00:16:01] Right.

[00:16:02] Oh, my gosh.

[00:16:05] They repeated their opposition to a deal after Sinwar's killing.

[00:16:09] There are also supporters of establishing Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip, something the Israeli leader has publicly ruled out.

[00:16:17] Right.

[00:16:17] So.

[00:16:18] So wait a minute.

[00:16:19] Hang on a second.

[00:16:19] So are you saying that he's opposing some of the far right in his own country?

[00:16:25] Well, now.

[00:16:27] That's a bit of a narrative buster.

[00:16:29] So when I was a kid, my grandpa died with Alzheimer's.

[00:16:32] And before he died, my mom and my dad and all of us really helped take care of him as he got progressively worse.

[00:16:37] Forty years ago, there were no treatments and not much support for caregivers and family.

[00:16:42] Things are different today because of the work of so many people, including the Alzheimer's Association of Western North Carolina.

[00:16:49] It's a great organization with awesome people.

[00:16:51] They've got huge hearts.

[00:16:53] I've been a supporter for like 25 years.

[00:16:55] This cause means a lot to me.

[00:16:57] I participate in the annual walk to end Alzheimer's and I am leading a Charlotte team this year.

[00:17:03] It's called Pete's Pack.

[00:17:04] You can sign up and join the team and walk with me.

[00:17:06] It's on October 19th at Truist Field in Uptown.

[00:17:10] Sign up at alz.org slash walk and then just look for my team, Pete's Pack.

[00:17:15] And there's also a link in the podcast description here.

[00:17:18] Also, I'm going to be emceeing the Gastonia Walk on October 5th.

[00:17:22] So make a team and join us or make a donation to help me hit my goal.

[00:17:25] I would really appreciate it.

[00:17:27] There are a bunch of other walks around the Carolinas and you can go to alz.org for all of the dates and locations.

[00:17:34] We are closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's.

[00:17:38] And if you can help us get there, we would really appreciate it.

[00:17:41] Will you come walk with me for a different future, for families, for more time, for treatments?

[00:17:47] This is why I walk.

[00:17:48] By the way, did you see what the Veep did?

[00:17:52] She came out and did like a mission accomplished or we got him.

[00:17:56] The Bin Laden, you know, we got Bin Laden speech yesterday.

[00:18:03] The same woman, Kamala Harris, who told Bibby and the Israelis not to go into Rafa because remember, remember, she said she looked at the maps.

[00:18:16] She has looked at the maps, which right away, you know, that's a lie because that would indicate that she had to have done some sort of homework on the matter and that she does not do that.

[00:18:24] Oh, I also saw she apparently chewed out her one of her staffers.

[00:18:32] Her campaign manager.

[00:18:34] Julie Chavez.

[00:18:37] The report is that Harris screamed and angrily berated her for more than half an hour on the phone this morning.

[00:18:45] Because apparently this was it was Chavez's opinion that Harris not go to the Al Smith dinner.

[00:18:57] And the rationale was that they thought it would send she's Julie Chavez said it would send the wrong message and risk alienating.

[00:19:11] The LGBTQ2SIA plus community and as well as pro-abortion voters.

[00:19:20] So that's that was apparently why she didn't go.

[00:19:24] I thought it was probably because it being a Catholic organization that she probably was very afraid that there was going to be some Knights of Columbus there.

[00:19:33] And I think there were militia.

[00:19:38] Yeah, well, remember, she was questioning some judicial nominee because he was a member of the Knights of Columbus.

[00:19:44] And she's like, what is this organization?

[00:19:47] She was trying to, like, cast aspersions on the Knights of the KFC.

[00:19:52] Really?

[00:19:52] OK.

[00:19:54] Anyway.

[00:19:56] So here was Harris.

[00:19:57] Harris.

[00:19:58] She came out and gave a speech, gave a statement standing in front of the American flag and the presidential flag acting like she's the president.

[00:20:08] She comes rolling in here wearing, you know, like a blue pantsuit and dark blue pantsuit.

[00:20:18] And then a black shirt underneath pulls out her paper.

[00:20:23] Today, Israel confirmed that Yaa Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, is dead.

[00:20:29] And justice has been served.

[00:20:32] And the United States, Israel and the entire world are better off as a result.

[00:20:38] Sinwar was responsible for the killing of thousands of innocent people,

[00:20:42] including the victims of October 7 and hostages killed in Gaza.

[00:20:48] He had American blood on his hands.

[00:20:52] Today, I can only hope that the families of the victims of Hamas feel a sense and measure of relief.

[00:21:01] Sinwar was the mastermind of October 7,

[00:21:05] the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust,

[00:21:09] a terrorist attack that killed 1,200 innocent people

[00:21:14] and included horrific sexual violence

[00:21:17] and more than 250 hostages taken into Gaza,

[00:21:22] including seven Americans, living and deceased, who remain in captivity.

[00:21:28] A terrorist attack that triggered a devastating war in Gaza,

[00:21:33] a war that has led to unconscionable suffering

[00:21:37] of many innocent Palestinians

[00:21:40] and greater instability throughout the Middle East.

[00:21:45] In the past year, American special operations

[00:21:49] and intelligence personnel have worked closely

[00:21:52] with their Israeli counterparts

[00:21:54] to locate and track Sinwar and other Hamas leaders.

[00:21:59] And I commend their work.

[00:22:01] And I will say to any terrorist who kills Americans,

[00:22:08] threatens the American people,

[00:22:10] or threatens our troops or our interests,

[00:22:14] know this.

[00:22:15] We will always bring you to justice.

[00:22:18] Except Iran.

[00:22:20] By the way, just a little asterisk right there in this in the copy of the speech.

[00:22:23] Except Iran.

[00:22:25] Israel has a right to defend itself.

[00:22:28] And the threat Hamas poses to Israel must be eliminated.

[00:22:33] Today, there is clear progress toward that goal.

[00:22:38] Hamas is decimated and its leadership is eliminated.

[00:22:42] This moment gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza.

[00:22:51] And it must end such that Israel is secure.

[00:22:55] The hostages are released.

[00:22:58] The suffering in Gaza ends.

[00:23:01] And the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity,

[00:23:05] security, freedom, and self-determination.

[00:23:10] And it is time for the day after to begin without Hamas in power.

[00:23:18] We will not give up on these goals.

[00:23:21] And I will always work to create a future of peace,

[00:23:26] dignity, and security for all.

[00:23:29] I thank you all.

[00:23:30] Is the U.S. asking Israel?

[00:23:31] All right, so that was it.

[00:23:33] Like three minutes, reads the prepared statement,

[00:23:36] and she's out.

[00:23:37] By the way, there was this quote I thought was interesting in the New York Times.

[00:23:43] There's a quote from a guy named Mohammed,

[00:23:45] who was speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of,

[00:23:49] let's call it reprisals, from Hamas.

[00:23:54] And Mohammed, if that is his real name, said,

[00:23:57] quote, talking about Sinwar,

[00:23:59] quote,

[00:23:59] He is the one who made Israel do this.

[00:24:13] He added that the news of Sinwar's death marked,

[00:24:18] quote,

[00:24:19] quote,

[00:24:19] the best day of my life.

[00:24:24] Remember,

[00:24:26] the woman you just heard speak

[00:24:28] wanted Israel to stay out of Rafa.

[00:24:33] But now she's claiming credit somehow,

[00:24:36] some level of participation.

[00:24:38] Like, oh, well,

[00:24:39] this is what we wanted the whole time.

[00:24:41] Oh, I'm so glad that they did this with us.

[00:24:43] We were right here with you,

[00:24:45] right?

[00:24:45] Israel, my buddy,

[00:24:47] chum pal.

[00:24:51] She did call Sinwar the mastermind of October 7th.

[00:24:55] In fact,

[00:24:55] the Associated Press article I've been reading from calls him that too.

[00:24:59] Except for some reason,

[00:25:01] about halfway through the piece,

[00:25:04] they say this,

[00:25:05] Sinwar was seen as a hardliner.

[00:25:08] See,

[00:25:09] we don't know if he was.

[00:25:10] He was merely seen as a hardliner.

[00:25:13] I mean,

[00:25:13] it's up into interpretation.

[00:25:16] He was seen as a hardliner with,

[00:25:19] quote,

[00:25:20] close ties to Hamas's armed wing.

[00:25:28] I love this idea.

[00:25:30] Hamas is the only organization,

[00:25:33] I shouldn't say that.

[00:25:34] The Palestinian Authority,

[00:25:35] they get this treatment too.

[00:25:36] Well,

[00:25:37] I take it back.

[00:25:38] Hezbollah has it as well.

[00:25:40] There's this idea that like these Islamist terrorist organizations that end up in,

[00:25:46] you know,

[00:25:47] in control of a,

[00:25:48] of a society acting as a government,

[00:25:51] they get,

[00:25:51] they get this description of them that nobody else gets,

[00:25:57] which is that there's like this separate wing.

[00:26:00] That's the armed wing.

[00:26:01] Oh,

[00:26:02] in their bed.

[00:26:03] Oh,

[00:26:03] we don't really like them so much,

[00:26:04] but it's separate.

[00:26:05] It's a different thing.

[00:26:06] It's like the wall between the opinion and news sections at the newspaper.

[00:26:12] They don't even know each other.

[00:26:14] They don't know he either exists.

[00:26:15] They never cross paths.

[00:26:17] There's no discussion amongst themselves.

[00:26:19] Nothing is a wall of separation.

[00:26:22] The armed Hamas is armed.

[00:26:24] So I'm curious as to why you would describe this guy as having close ties to Hamas's armed wing.

[00:26:31] He was running it,

[00:26:33] which I guess is a close tie,

[00:26:35] right?

[00:26:36] I guess that does count.

[00:26:38] All right.

[00:26:38] That's my bad.

[00:26:41] Jay says,

[00:26:41] Pete,

[00:26:42] Israel only quote coexists due to the fact they have superior firepower and are willing to use it.

[00:26:50] That is true.

[00:26:52] Yeah,

[00:26:53] that's true.

[00:26:54] Oh,

[00:26:54] look at this.

[00:26:56] Hmm.

[00:26:59] Do,

[00:26:59] do,

[00:26:59] do,

[00:26:59] do.

[00:27:00] Jabril.

[00:27:02] Ah,

[00:27:02] ha.

[00:27:04] I,

[00:27:05] Pete,

[00:27:05] I don't listen to your show that much,

[00:27:09] but I seems every,

[00:27:11] I think he meant to say it seems every time I tune in,

[00:27:16] you're acting like a spokesperson for a pack and,

[00:27:20] or some Islamophobic organization.

[00:27:23] Well,

[00:27:24] who said anything about Islam?

[00:27:26] I,

[00:27:26] I didn't say anything about it.

[00:27:28] Islam.

[00:27:30] Why would you think,

[00:27:32] why would you,

[00:27:33] why would you conflate Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis and Iran?

[00:27:43] Terrorists.

[00:27:45] Why would you conflate that with Islam?

[00:27:46] I didn't say that.

[00:27:48] And I did say Islamists.

[00:27:51] I didn't say Islam.

[00:27:54] Right.

[00:27:56] Are you on the payroll of AIPAC?

[00:28:00] That's right,

[00:28:01] Jabril.

[00:28:02] The Jews have got to me.

[00:28:04] Lord.

[00:28:06] What a raging bigot.

[00:28:08] Or is it just WBT that pays you to spew this garbage?

[00:28:12] No,

[00:28:13] well,

[00:28:13] first off,

[00:28:14] WBT does in fact pay me.

[00:28:15] Yes.

[00:28:17] They do pay me.

[00:28:18] I do draw a salary from WBT.

[00:28:20] That is true.

[00:28:21] But they don't tell me what to say,

[00:28:23] Jabril.

[00:28:23] I came to these opinions all on my own.

[00:28:26] after 20 years of observing the gaslighting and the terrorism and the faux ceasefires and the brutality.

[00:28:39] Yeah,

[00:28:40] I've been watching.

[00:28:41] I've been paying attention.

[00:28:42] That's how I came to these conclusions and opinions.

[00:28:46] I know the truth of it.

[00:28:48] Sadly,

[00:28:48] many of your listeners don't as you mislead them.

[00:28:51] And occupied people have the right to oppose and defend themselves.

[00:28:55] Right.

[00:28:55] So,

[00:28:56] okay.

[00:28:56] So,

[00:28:57] I view the,

[00:28:58] okay,

[00:28:59] I'll talk about Islam now.

[00:29:01] I view Islam as a colonizer.

[00:29:03] Jabril,

[00:29:05] Islam has colonized more of the planet than virtually any other society ever.

[00:29:11] Sure.

[00:29:12] Yeah.

[00:29:13] You know the history.

[00:29:14] Sweeping across the Arabian Peninsula,

[00:29:17] working its way through like a third of Africa.

[00:29:20] Still going,

[00:29:21] by the way.

[00:29:22] Also,

[00:29:23] you know,

[00:29:23] into Europe.

[00:29:24] Finally kind of ran out of gas around Spain.

[00:29:27] So,

[00:29:28] yeah,

[00:29:28] they're,

[00:29:29] they're colonizers.

[00:29:30] You belong to a religious ideology that is a colonization ideology.

[00:29:38] And so the Israelis are pushing back on your oppressive colonization effort.

[00:29:46] And they have a right to defend themselves.

[00:29:49] And you obviously believe that in the process of engaging in the colonizing effort,

[00:29:56] you think you're justified in going around and raping a bunch of women to do it,

[00:30:00] which is very good to know.

[00:30:02] I prefer to know by enemy,

[00:30:04] right?

[00:30:04] It's very good to be aware of this stuff.

[00:30:07] So I appreciate your email.

[00:30:09] Um,

[00:30:10] and what are the,

[00:30:11] what a coincidence and what luck that you just happened to be listening to the show

[00:30:15] because you don't listen,

[00:30:16] but you just happened to listen to this part of the show today,

[00:30:21] the day after Yaya got whacked.

[00:30:25] And this was the one day you tuned in to be outraged.

[00:30:31] At what I have said,

[00:30:33] you're free to call in anytime you want to,

[00:30:35] but here's the thing.

[00:30:36] I've known you for a very long time now,

[00:30:39] 20 years,

[00:30:40] Jabril,

[00:30:40] 23 years,

[00:30:41] actually.

[00:30:42] Right?

[00:30:45] I know your game.

[00:30:51] So you're free to come.

[00:30:52] You're free to call in and try to articulate whatever dumb ass opinion you're going to try to articulate.

[00:30:59] It won't be done.

[00:31:00] Well,

[00:31:00] I guarantee that because I know you been doing,

[00:31:03] I've,

[00:31:04] I've watched you.

[00:31:05] I've been reading your stuff on Facebook for 20 years.

[00:31:09] Seven Oh four,

[00:31:10] five,

[00:31:10] seven Oh 11,

[00:31:11] 10.

[00:31:11] You know where I am noon to three.

[00:31:15] Jay says,

[00:31:15] Jabril listens all the time.

[00:31:17] He's an anti-American Muslim apologist who would love an Islamic state here in the U S.

[00:31:23] Yeah,

[00:31:23] that sounds about right.

[00:31:27] The editors over at national review,

[00:31:30] they point out that in over a year of fighting,

[00:31:35] Sinwar has refused to surrender and release the hostages as he prefers to have his people suffer.

[00:31:40] If it meant that world opinion and the U S government turned against Israel,

[00:31:44] which is by the way,

[00:31:44] that's what Jabril is helping to do.

[00:31:46] That's the whole point of like trying to reframe,

[00:31:50] you know,

[00:31:50] under Darvo,

[00:31:51] you reverse victim and offender.

[00:31:52] You do this in order to,

[00:31:54] you know,

[00:31:54] gain sympathy,

[00:31:55] get leverage.

[00:31:56] And that's,

[00:31:57] that's the,

[00:31:57] that's the strategy.

[00:31:59] There's two fronts here.

[00:32:00] You got the military front and then you have the propaganda front.

[00:32:02] And Jabril is helping in that propaganda effort because helping in the military effort would be totally against the law.

[00:32:09] And I know he's not doing anything like that.

[00:32:11] So the news also serves as a severe indictment of the judgment of president Biden and vice president Kamala Harris,

[00:32:18] who spent months warning Israel against an invasion of Rafa where Sinwar was killed.

[00:32:24] Biden said going into Rafa was a,

[00:32:26] that translates to red line.

[00:32:29] He said it was a red line.

[00:32:31] Harris warned that there would be,

[00:32:34] because she had studied the maps that Sinwar was killed in Rafa,

[00:32:38] vindicates the insistence of Israelis that Rafa was a stronghold where they would find Hamas's leadership.

[00:32:46] And that is precisely what they did.

[00:32:50] War is awful.

[00:32:54] If only Hamas would have known that before they committed the atrocities on October 7th.

[00:33:02] And you can't justify it.

[00:33:04] You could try,

[00:33:04] but it just speaks volumes about you,

[00:33:07] not the Israelis.

[00:33:09] All right.

[00:33:09] That'll do it for this episode.
