…topics. The trauma that is sort of embedded within Israeli society as well. If one wanted to create a vicious parody of Netanyahu, One couldn't have created a better one. It's so polluted, what he says. His manner is so disingenuous. It's so patently…
…in 1956 by the Israeli army in Gaza. And he said, they planted hate in my heart. All right. And so for Netanyahu to begin with this evil monster Hamas, without acknowledging that Israel created Hamas, both in the sense of creating their refugee problem…
…and the immediate shift into a kind of genocidal rhetoric broadcast to the entire world in the age of social media, hearing Netanyahu talk about Amalek. Well, we know our Old Testament. We know how brutal some of those stories are. and seeing the entire…
…some people in Israel, including many people who consider themselves Zionists, do not have the same approach when it comes to Benjamin Netanyahu. he has had his own way during this genocide he's going against the head of the Mossad previous heads of the…
…of the Israeli intelligence and military establishment against everyone really and he has his own way and obviously it's led by Benjamin Netanyahu but my argument is that Israel as a state enables it so if it wasn't Netanyahu someone else could have…

…two major the history of almost any country, you'll find the same thing. But this one goes right back to the Bible. Benjamin Netanyahu, the other night, quoted the Bible, Samuel 1, 15, 3, where he said, the Lord said, remember what Amalek has done to…
…will vomit you out. So say the prophets. And the same Old Testament that talks about I just quoted to you, Benjamin Netanyahu just quoted, can you imagine a more open and shameless call for genocide than quoting that particular passage for God's sakes?…
…to get you now before you go to just respond to one thing. I just want to get your response to some comments Benjamin Netanyahu made before escalating the assault on Gaza. Sorry, and we lost volume there. So I People of the light, they are the people…
…starts off by referring to people of the light versus people of the darkness. I'm happy to respond. I completely agree with Netanyahu. the light will triumph over the darkness. He's just a bit confused as to what represents light and darkness. He's one of…

…before the Congress. I was against the. Look at all the Dems clapping to cackling hyenas. Also, Obama gave $30 billion after Netanyahu did that stunt. Yep. Number one Jew hater, by the way, Barack Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. Yeah. Hates the Jewish state.…
…Guys, it is in our interest. So our values interest to do so over time. But right now. The leverage that we have given on Netanyahu has been used in a way that is most destructive. Would you say right now, and we speak in the context of an election…
…not. Look no further than Benjamin Netanyahu's own personal statements and lack of interest in dealing with a ceasefire negotiation. Benjamin Netanyahu only wants to use the hostages as a reason to conduct this genocide, okay? You said earlier that you are…
…into something that he just is desperate to get out of, and that he was persuaded about the merits of attacking Iran by Benjamin Netanyahu, who may have been working to a different agenda as the prime minister of Israel. What is your view of that? And…
…history will show us. But do you think that, obviously, if Trump is gonna pull out of this, can you see a situation where Netanyahu goes it alone against Iran? I mean, I suppose I could. And I should also mention that I don't know if you hinted at…
…all of his power and, you know, strong personhood, somehow loses all of his personal agency and becomes, you know, a helpless puppet of Netanyahu when Netanyahu tells him, do A or do B. or do be. No, I don't think it was that. I don't think Netanyahu…

…Netanyahu when Netanyahu tells him, do A or do B. or do be. No, I don't think it was that. I don't think Netanyahu told... I don't think it's that. It's just that everybody knows, from what Antony Blinken and Hillary Clinton and others have now said,…

…in it if you carefully watch it. It's got a chauvinistic, tribal, genocidal strain, doesn't it? And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted the Old Testament, Samuel 15.3, the other night. And he said, remember what Amalek has done to you. He…
…Will Have Been Against Us. And he says in this book, this is all, of course, about civilization. You see what... Benjamin Netanyahu said last year that this is a war against civilization and barbarism. This is a war between those who favor bloodshed…

…is a signatory to the International Criminal Court of Justice, but it's not going to obey that when it comes to Israel. Netanyahu has special treatment. Same with my home country, Hungary. Why? Why does your press not tell you the truth? Why do most…
…government who complete, who... Let me find you a quote, if I could, from my cell phone. Give me a moment here. Let's see, Netanyahu, what did he say? Just take a moment. Oh yeah, here it is. You know what he, this is Benjamin Netanyahu, last July.…

…full of the praise and respect of the American establishment. We don't always see justice served the way we would like to. If Netanyahu was some Serbian general who had killed Muslims in Bosnia, he would be at The Hague at the International Court. If he…
…people or people of some neighboring country, he'd be at the International Criminal Court. When International Criminal Court charged Netanyahu and several other Israeli ministers with war crimes, you know what the Americans just did? They sanctioned the members…

…this genocide? Well, I'm neither a political nor a military analyst, so I tend to refrain from predictions. In terms of Netanyahu, you know, coming back to what I just said about the Outer limits of progressive U.S. mainstream. You know, there's plenty…
…progressive U.S. mainstream. You know, there's plenty of Democratic politicians now and even pundits on media outlets who will say that Netanyahu is the problem. We need to replace him. Chuck Schumer himself, Mr. Israel, came out and said that. Well, on one…
…Gaza and whoever gets in the way. The more the world is not going to tolerate it anymore, and it won't be about Netanyahu being brought down from the inside. It'll be about Israel becoming a pariah state, no matter who's in power. I don't think there's…
