First hour of the program, we talked about the war between Israel and Hamas, and then people sent in texts and this was my fault at the time. I did not get to read them during that hour. I will read them now if I can, because there's some crossover anyway. So but again I'm reading from this text line and on the feed. Whenever somebody sends in another text, it then bounces the feeds. So right, I'm gonna try here. Alan says, this prevalent behavior. This is the uh, you know, the the method in which Hamas and Isis and al Qaeda and and going back through you know, the historical record, this is a you know a common theme in the Islamic conquest of Christendom, and uh, they're you know, and all civilizations and societies and tribes and everybody that they conquered when they spread over the millennium. So Allan says, the this prevalent behavior of rape and attacks comes from the historical structure of the Ottoman Empire. If you that's it. It predates the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire did it, but it is rooted in the ideology because that's what gives them the permission to do these things. You're allowed to do them, you are you're called to do them in for the like in the murder or incense. If you were not of the conquering class, then all atrocities are tolerated. Others were treated as subhuman and this includes slavery and sexual brutality towards male and female alike. It was considered normal behavior. I don't know who this is, anonymous. This should have been done with months ago. We're talking about the siege on or the the invasion now of Gaza City that is underway by the Israelis. War is fought have asked so it lingers and lingers and lingers forget the hostages and finish it already well and that. But that's the problem is that you've got the political leadership in Israel that has you know, essentially the political left, the secular left or secular Israeli, secular Jews in Israel, that their focus is get all the hostages back, cut whatever deal, get them back, just end it right, and then you've got a more religious, you know, more orthodox Jewish part of the electorate. They're like, you know, some of them are like, well, you know, it's mainly our sons and daughters that are going out there and dying because they make up apparently, you know, greater portion of the military or something. So yeah, I don't know. There are political internal pressures going on in Israel as well. But this is actually the proof that this is not this is not genocide in Gaza. The proof is that it has taken this long. And if you are going If ever you needed an excuse for wiping out every single human being in Gaza, you had it on October seventh. You could have gone in there and leveled the place. If you didn't care about the hostages, all you wanted to do was just commit quote genocide. That would have been the way to do it. That would have been the time and and then let everybody be outraged rather than doing what they have been doing for the last almost two years now. This is from Roland who says, if Homeboys Hamas are such warriors, why do they have their women out and about in the media fighting the right to exist. I'm not following that Hamas or cowards. Anyone that supports their party should be considered terrorist sympathizers. I love the show well because they put their civilians in front of the fighters in order to have the Israelis kill them. That's the point. People think that Hamas doesn't want the gozens to die, but they do. That's the strategy. It's literally the strategy is to get your own people killed. And no military force, no nation has ever dealt with an enemy that is seeking to have its people killed. Not just like, okay, we can tolerate certain casualties, we can tolerate certain numbers of losses. That's not this. This is we need our people to be killed because that's how we win in the court of public opinion. They know they can't win militarily. That's why they built tunnels like rats so they can hide because they know they can't beat the Israeli military. We have seen tunnels before in Vietnam, true, but not to this extent, not under an urban setting with densely packed populations living above Dan signor As a podcast geared specifically towards Israeli issues, He's done at least two episodes centered on Gosen's starvation. Two key claims his guests may aid that the Gods of Humanitarian Foundation was centered around the idea of controlling the pickup location for aid, meaning it's not always close to population centers, and if civilians take a turn down a wrong road, they could end up facing a small IDF garrison which could feel threatened. And two Unruah, which was like, it's completely corrupt. The u n r w A that you know ran the schools and supposedly the humanitarian aid and stuff, but it's been completely infiltrated by Hamas, that it was bringing in a lot of money, and now that GHF and some institutions who would like would like to see that reverted, will all be all too happy to promote instances that make it look bad. Right, So the what Hamas has been promoting and the people who are propagandists either because they hate Israel and Jews, or they hate or they love Hamas uh and they you know, they're wanting to spread this message, or they're stupid. I guess that would be. The other is that there is a propaganda benefit for Gosins to be killed while trying to get food, right And yes, so and I went over this when they first launched the GHF. This is an existential threat to Amas because if they can't get the food. And by the way, the Israelis just released a video today that was a video of the leaders of Hamas hanging out underground feasting. They have all this food and they're just eating it all. And so they obviously they put that out there to try to send the message to the Gozzens. These are your leaders. They're keeping food from you. They're they're living like kings underground. Lebanon and that was from Travis. By the way, I don't know who this is from. Lebanon won't let Palestinians settle there because Lebanon's government is portioned by ethnicity, so a slew of new folk would and would upend their civics right well, and people in America don't understand this. But over in the Middle East. It's very tribal still. You have tribal you have clans, right families, there's cousin marriage, and it creates this insular clanish mentality. And this is what is actually this is the big problem in the UK. And this is why like these clanish groupings of pakistanis predominantly participating in the quote grooming gangs, which were rape gangs targeting poor white British girls. That this is why like that all of the family rallies around and protects these gang operations because they're all of the same plan and if you're not in their clan, then then you are you're subhuman like you you're nothing, You're discardable, trash, You're a different clans, you're a different tribe. That's what tribalism is. Your tribe is more important, right, And so that was sort of the thing that you know, the UK had seen years and years and years ago, is that the UK had united all of these different clans under one banner and that became the tribe. So now everybody can now like you know, you can rely on the rule of law because the judge isn't going to be you know, ruling against you because you're of a different tribe or clan. That's the whole premise. That's the you know, the the great contribution to Western civilization and human history. All Right, so you've heard me talk about Creative Video for almost a year. But did you know they also offer a game changing app for businesses that reward their teams with incentive trips. Well they do. It's called Incentive Trip Kit. If you want a business or work at one that offers these incentive trips, this is a must have. It maximizes the impact and value of these motivational trips. It's a super easy to use app built just for your group, with private messaging, shared photos, important trip documents, even a find the group locator just in case somebody gets separated. And when I say it's private, I mean it. No personal emails, no phone numbers, no ads, no account sign ups. Everyone uses one shared login, so it's super easy, no hassles. During the trip, everybody can post their best photos and short video clips, and folks back at the office can even follow along. And then after the trip, Incentive Trip Kit turns those memories into a professional storytelling video you can use to motivate, inspire, and get people fired up for next year's trip. More fun, more memories, more ROI check it out now at Incentive tripkit dot com or call Eric at eight eight eight five three three seventy six thirty seven Extension two O seven for the details. Let's talk with Jackie. Welcome to the show, Jackie. Hey, buddy, how you doing math? I'm okay. How are you today? I'm hanging in here to a beautiful day out here. Good Hey. I've been listening to the show for the last couple of hours and I just wanted it weigh in on the on the Palestinian Israeli conflict. I've been very fortunate over the course of the last year. I've befriend at a ninety three year old Jewish lady here in Charlotte by the by the name of Margie Goldstein, and she and I have had a lot of discussions about this. And I also have a neighbor whose mother is from Gaza and his mother is actually her father's still there, and she's actually been to Gaza a couple of times this year, and we've had some discussions about this also. But I just wanted to suggest to you that it might help in the discussion of this subject to have some people who are closer to it than yourself. I mean, there are plenty of Jewish people here in Charlotte. What did they Well, what did these neighbors tell you, Jackie? What did you talk with your what did you what did your neighbor the Palestinian tell you about the situation. Well, I'll start off with what Margie tells me. To Margie, Margie believes this is she said, Well, she tells me that this is generational. She said, and it goes you know, it's generational, and it involves it involves heritage, it involves religion. And she said, the only thing that's going to ever stop solve this conflict, or stop this conflict, and it's been going on doing our own life for her whole lifetime, is that there's going to have to be some concession of a homeland in some form of fashion for the Palestinians. That's the only thing that's going to solve this problem. That's not true. Israel's not going to be able to bomb their way out of this. That's not true. No, no, no, that's not now. Hang on, first off, what all right? So what that woman? What your what your friend told you is true in her perspective, but is not But is not true historically she said it's generational, and to the extent it's quote generational, that is true, but it's not just her lifetime. This goes back fourteen hundred years. This has never happened. I had Jackie, let me finish. You're right about that. I just meant doing her lifetime, yeah, ninety three years. Yeah, so so so this is this has been going on since the rise of Islam. Okay number one, number two. This doesn't end with a homeland for the Palestinians. That's according to every Palestinian leadership that have come along. That's not what they are interested in. They are interested in the Jews not having a homeland. There's a That's why the Two States solutions died on October seventh. But but I think I think when I even talked to my to my, to the Lady from Gods, I think they they pretty much reconcile themselves. Is that the world is not going to let them destroy Israel. That's not going to happen. You know that there. The world is not going well, hang on a second, the world is not going to let the Palestinians destroy Israel. No, it's not the Arab country destory Israel. That's that's not going to happen. No, I would submit. Also, Israel is not going to let that happen exactly. But Israel can't do that without the help of the Western. World, not necessarily. Well, okay, there's never been there's never been a uniform effort of of the Arab countries to attack Israel as a group. Are you kidding me? Right now? We've got conflict? What do you think we've never had? What do you think that? What do you read? You realize that the Jews, the Israel, Israelites or Israelis, they celebrate two different times that the Arab world united to kill Israel. They have two different celebrations of their victories over the Arab states that all joined together and tried to wipe Israel off the map after they got their nation status. Now what years were that, forty eight, sixty seven. Sixty seven. But that was not all the Arab countries united to fight Israel in sixty seven. Every Arab country around them fought them. What are you talking about? That's how they got the goal on heights, how they got the West Bank. I mean, like Jackie, I like so I yeah, go ahead. Yeah, So you believe that if Saudi Arabia and all the air countries that ran and Rock and all those countries that they've banned together, they couldn't destroy Israel? Probably not. Why do you believe that? I don't believe they have the military ability to do so. But Israel doesn't have the military the ability to fight them, all of them without Western help. No, They've got a couple of nuclear bombs they would be dropping on other countries and in. Some of these countries. I'll be honest with you about the nuclear bomb. I think there's some countries over there that have nuclear bombs that we probably don't know about it. Okay, that's a different that's a different topic. I mean that's and that's a speculation. The only one that I know of is Pakistan. So like in India, Yeah, India is not a not an air country, but India has a bomb also. Correct, But India would not be bombing Israel for no reason. No, no, But but I think it'd just be great if you would have some guests with the with their unique perspective from Israel. And I don't know you're assuming. You're assuming that I don't get these perspectives when I read people's accounts and listen to interviews with people, just like I listened to what you said from your neighbors, and all of what they All of what they said I have heard before as well. I've heard all of those before. So I appreciate this suggestion. If you want to line up some guests for me, you can send me an email Pete at the Pete Calendar Show dot com. So when I was a kid, my grandpa died with Alzheimer's, and before he died, my mom and my dad took care of him as he got worse. Forty years ago, there were no treatments and not much support for caregivers and family. But things are different today because of the work of so many people, including the Alzheimer's Association of Western Carolina. It's a great organization with awesome people with huge hearts. I've been a supporter for twenty five years. This cause means a lot to me. I participate in the annual Walk to End Alzheimer's and I'm leading a Charlotte team again here and it's called once Again Pete's Pack. You can sign up and you can join the team and walk with us. It's on October eighteenth that truest field. Sign up at alz dot org slash walk and then you can search for my team name, Pete's Pack. There's also a link at thepetepod dot com. There's also a link in the description of this podcast. Also, I'll be am seeing the Gastonia Walk on October eleventh, and so you can make a team and join that one too, or make a donation and help me hit my goal of five thousand dollars. If you do, I really appreciate it. There are a bunch of other walks all over the Carolinas. You can go to alz dot org slash walk for all the dates and locations. We're closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's. Can you help us get there? Will you walk with me? For a different future, for families, for more time for treatments. This is why we walk. I have an email from Mark who says the nation state of Israel has no right to exist. To defend its existence is to reject God and or Jefferson's writings in the Declaration of Independence. Bronze Age. Bloodlust is not a good look for you, Pete. Mark love you like a brother, but you're not going to be able to play the emotional blackmail game on me. Sorry. What nation has a right to exist? By God? Nations exist because people band together and they fight to keep land, they fight to take it, and then they hold it and the nation is yours until you can no longer hold it. The world is governed by the aggressive youse of force. That's I mean, you can deny that if you would like to. I do not. I recognize the world as it is. And this has been going on since human beings from one area first encountered human beings from another area, and then they would fight each other, and then they would take over each other's land, and then they would hold it until somebody else came along. It's just a perpetual history of conquering one another. And Israel got the land and now some people want to wipe it off the face of the earth, and the Israelis are like, we're not cool with that, So we're going to defend our land because we took it, we got it, and that's the way it has always been. So that's like I have I can't change that. So yeah, like, if if Israel doesn't have a quote right to exist, then no nation has a right to exist, and I would submit I agree that they don't. There's no inherent right to exist as a nation. But if you have the military power to make it so, then you get to keep your nation, You get to keep your culture, you get to keep your land until somebody bigger and stronger comes along it takes it from you and kills all your people. And that's just been the way of the world. And you may not like it. I may not like it, but that's how I see the world, and I think history is on my side on that one. I've got. Oh, there was one of the things Jackie mentioned there when he said his was it his Palestinian neighbor or something. He didn't give us that person's name, but that he said that they had come to the acceptance that the world won't let the Palestinians wipe Israel off the map. And what an odd betrayal of the underlying philosophy. No, I'm not sure Jackie realized, like maybe what he was saying, maybe that's not what was actually said to him. Maybe it was, and he really late it perfectly. I don't know, it's you know, third hand information, but saying you that, it's it's the world that won't let us do it, which indicates what they want to do it. They would very much like to commit genocide. They would very much like to conquer Israel, take it all over, and have it be their land too, because that is part of the ideology, which is to spread Islam across the entire globe, right, that's the they're commanded to do so, right, They're called to do this. So and you know through conversion or or the sword, or yes, you could pay the tax, the Jisha tax, whatever it is, you can do that too, I guess, but then live as a second class citizen, victimized by you know, random pilgrims that just erupt in your town. But I just that was an odd, an odd thing to say that, like wow, So, but for the rest of the world, they're the reason why we can't fulfill our goal, which is to is to conquer all the land. Right, That's why that's why I said, like, so this idea of a two state solution like his, what he just outlined is the crux of the problem, which is exactly what I said, which he's got his Jewish neighbor or friend who says, oh, I guess it's going to have to be a homeland for both peoples. Right. But then you turn around and say, but the Palestinians are like, well, we very much would like to kill you all, but the world just won't let us. Well, what happens if you get to a point where the world does let you? Right, That's that's not a two state solution, that's a give me territory. So I can do what we have seen Hamastu, which is to create a terror camp. Right, you like to build a base of operations by which to launch attacks against Israel in furtherance of the goal of wiping them off the map and conquering all the land. Right. So I think I have a pretty good grasp on what's going on there. On the mental health issues. I've worked in mental health for a number of years and continued to do so. This was from our number two. Please don't use my name. An old saying in the behavioral health world is belief creates its own proof. The general belief is that a competent professional gave this person the diagnosis. So to go against that is not only somewhat of a taboo in the field, but is generally easier as far as the paperwork goes. Combine that with a believed tendency for behavioral health patients to either lie or be unaware of the nature of their behavior leads to the results that you were talking about. That was the Rosenhans study from nineteen seventy three, right where they put a bunch of sane people into the institutions and they all got admitted and they were all their diagnoses were perpetually can firmed, and then they were like, oh yeah, we'll try it again, and the doctor was like, okay, fine, and then they started labeling everybody as plants, and then the doctor divulged. Later we actually didn't send anybody else in kind of a problem. Game on Week one starts now and every touchdown brings you closer to a payout.

This is a little segment we like to call pregame in with Brettwinterble, and that means we have to have Brett Winterble in studio and lo and behold here he is good to be with you. Brett hosts the show from three till six coincidentally called the Brett Winterble Show. It's amazing you got the gig. You know, it really is. I walked right into it, and you're. Like, look at me. I'm already named this. You don't have to rebrand anything. You don't have to do new coffee mugs. What is your show called. The Big Calendar Show? The same thing? Right? I know. They're like, I said, look, you got an opening white label. That's it. That's what it is. I already have the name, so it just works. I also had a I thought during the break, we were chatting Brett and I, as we sometimes are wont to do, and I had an idea, can we get I think it is it the UAE that does the fake island or I guess they're not fake islands but the artificial or no, the man made islands island Yeah, yah, yeah, they make all and they make them in the shapes of like palm tree, yes, and stuff like that. Yes, yes, maybe a big island off the coast of goz uh off the coast of Gaza. That's a pretty crowded neighborhood already. Yeah, but you just make a big old island out there, mm hmm, like a long island. It could be a long island, not the long, not the long, but the long island. Yeah. You can make it any shape you want. You can make it in the like if you're gonna make an island for the for the Gozens, yeah, for the Arabs in Goza. Well you could, I mean not all. You could make it like like in the in the shape of a of an assault rifle, because that's on their flag. Wow, that's look, yes, it is that is that is. And we don't have any islands that look like that. That's true, right, but okay, if we wanted to put them in a place where they wouldn't be on. An island, mm hmm, what about Lebanon. No, they won't take them, they don't want them in Egypt today said that they're not letting. There was a proposal to hey, can you take like the women and the children, take the take children and their moms. Basically, okay, take them into Egypt, like what we did with the evacuation of Afghanistan when it was all women and children, except for all the terrorists that also got on. Them, that also got on the plane, except and to and to not allow the translators that helped us, right right, cut them out. The worst possible deal that could have possibly made. So kind of like that, but just women and children. And Egypt said no, Egypt's got these six walls, did they got they put up and they've added more walls. Yes, they've got six different walls, Yes, blocking off Gaza from Egypt. That's look, they they've been in a rough neighborhood for a long time, like we're going back thirty five hundred years of rough neighborhoodism. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's why the Egyptians are not really playing the game. I mean, they're just like, well. They also well one of the statements from one of their officials, they said that it would not further the Palestinian cause to allow women and children to leave. Why that sounds to me like you would be protecting the next generation of people, but not the cause. But not the cause. Oh the cause? Okay, right, So what does that tell you to me? It tells me women and children don't really rate. No, it tells me that the Palestinians themselves are expendable at the altar of the cause. That's really terrible, isn't it. So Like, if you actually care about Palestinian people, then you should want Israel to succeed and wipe out Hamas because there is no future for Palestinians with hamastill and power. Who birthed who birthed the terrorist designation that the Palestinians picked? Uh, you know who? The ft O Foreign Terrorist Organization? Yeah, thereout no, no, The Russians, the Soviets were the were the greatest actors in terms. Of setting up terrorist organizations. That's why you had all the attacks Munich and and and uh, you know, all these. Different places Russia. Vladimir Putin, pooty pot hate that guy. Vladimir Putin. He's touched that period of time, right, anything he touches, anything Russia. Touches turns to poop. No, it's that's they claim the territory. So you could resettle them into in a Russia. I don't know though, because Russia they tend to they tend to try to wipe out a bunch of their Muslims, like the Chechtans Chechtians. Yeah, which for some reason, you ever noticed, the chech Deans never get labeled as Muslims. That's whenever they were carrying out the terrorist attacks that they're never called Muslim. There's only one there's only one country that that is like still super stable in that regard, and that's uh Armenia. Armenia has been held on to that for since the inception, which is pretty interesting. That is pretty interesting geopolitics. All right, that'll do it for this episode.
