- The Blood Of The People Of Gaza is on Haniyeh and the Hamas Leaders | Tikva International
The Blood Of The People Of Gaza is on Haniyeh and the Hamas Leaders Download YouTube 2023-11-14 (#121) < Previous Next > Kuwaiti researcher Dr Fahd Al Shelaimi blames Haniyeh and Hamas leaders for the bloodshed in Gaza. Binyamin Netanyahu has been put on trial by the people. Who will put Hamas on trial for what has happened to thousands of Gazans? Hamas' only achievement has been to instill fear and to avoid accountability for Gazan deaths: they call them martyrs. Instead of focusing on educating and taking care of the people, they flee into their tunnels when the bombing begins and fire their rockets from there. Why don't they die as martyrs and bring along their children and families if this is martyrdom? Regular people die and have their homes destroyed instead! Hamas leaders should be put on trial for the sin they have committed against the Palestinian people. They are deceiving everyone. So who will put them on trial? They will face the trial of Allah for all the destruction and bloodshed they have caused! Video Transcription: Coming soon

- 'Awful Things Happening In Israel Nothing To Do With British Jews' | Tikva International
'Awful Things Happening In Israel Nothing To Do With British Jews' Download YouTube 2024-02-19 (298) < Previous Next > Antisemitism has reached record levels in the UK, with over 4,000 incidents recorded in 2023, according to the Community Security Trust, a Jewish charity. The report highlights a significant increase in anti-Semitic incidents since the October 7th Hamas attacks. Jewish individuals and communities are experiencing online abuse, vilification on university campuses, and even physical assaults. Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain, the director of Maidenhead Synagogue, emphasizes the distressing nature of the anti-Semitic incidents. He mentions instances of abuse online, vilification of Jewish students on university campuses, and even a recent incident at a theatre in London where someone was hounded out for not standing up for the Palestinian flag. Rabbi Romain asserts that blaming British Jews for events in Israel is as illogical as blaming someone with blue eyes in England for a crime committed in Kansas City. He highlights the need for unity and peaceful coexistence among different faiths in the UK. Video Transcription: anti-semitic hate has reached record levels according to a Jewish charity more than 4,000 anti-semitic incidents were recorded in the UK in 2023 this according to the community security trust this is a report we're going to speak to the person that wrote that later they say this has just absolutely magnified since those October the 7th Hamas attacks well joining us now for more is Rabbi Dr Jonathan raain who's the director of M synagog sorry not your fault guys this is our guest on the last so that's that's wrong that's sorry well it he is here he is here he's down the line that's okay confusing and also and also D Babu a former met police chief superintendent is here Jonathan can we start with with you just to explain to us this report Jeremy's just laid it out there says there's been a significant increase um since the 7th of October um what can you tell us uh well it's deeply upsetting um and it's uh on all sorts of levels and we've seen it um uh certainly online with a lot of abuse we've seen it on University campuses with students Jewish students um being vilified we've seen it the other day in theater the Soho theater in London uh with somebody who didn't want to stand up for the Palestinian flag, not only being booed but handed out of the theater uh and this is really quite extraordinary um and and and just so Un British and so unfair uh and it's really a direct result of what's happening in Israel um and yes of course awful things happening Israel and they're suffering on both sides what that's got to do with British Jews absolutely nothing it's like you know if if the um whoever killed the people in Kansas city was blue-eyed blaming someone blue-eyed here in England well it's as dared and as ridiculous as that but unfortunately it is related because what happens in Israel or uh the Middle East is is often uh seen the British Jews are somehow responsible uh we're not British citizens you know it seems almost uh ridiculous for me to have to explain that British Jews are not responsible what happens in in Israel and yet British Jews are are often seen as responsible um I have to say of course this is not Universal these incidents are awful uh but there's also a lot of very good work and relations going on and in fact immediately after October the 7th when the Hamas attacks took place um I got together with the local Vicor local Imam and we set a prayer for peace it didn't change the world but it gave a very clear signal to our own congregations here in the UK that whatever is happening over in the Middle East we are not going to import here and it also emphasize that what's going on in the Middle East is a political problem it's not a religious problem and therefore there is absolutely no reason why Jews Muslims Christians Hindus everybody else cannot go get on uh together here as well can you tell us that's sort of The Wider political context that is then having very real impacts on people in Britain we're seeing reports of violent anti-Semitic assaults um damage and desecration of Jewish property I mean what have you seen people that you know um well all of the above everything you said unfortunately is true um I personally and curiously enough haven't seen it on an everyday basis because the where I live in Maiden head has actually been an oasis of um of calm and that's not an accent it's because of the really good Interfaith relations we've established in the last 30 40 years but that's not the story elsewhere in Britain and certainly there are places in London in Manchester where it's really very upsetting where Jewish children particularly are frightened to go to school if they go to a Jewish Day School because they're going to be um shouted at or bullied on the bus or because there's people outside the schools um holding placards or Screaming abuse again people taking out on Jewish children in Britain uh for what's happening over uh the other side of the mediteran can I cut to the chase really glad to have you on um I I asked a question last hour and I'd love to ask it of you and I will say again cu no doubt certain people will go that's not the right thing to say I think any form of racism is abhorent I understand what you're saying about what's happening in terms of The Wider conflict and nobody wants to see what's happening in in uh Gaza right now we are talking about anti-semitic crime on the streets of the United Kingdom amongst and for and against Jewish people what I don't understand my friend is this why is there not the level of abhorrence about anti-jewish sentiment as there is against anti- well racism against other races colors and Creeds I've never understood that maybe I'm missing the point but why are Jews an easier Target why are they not looked upon in the same way or those sorts of crimes or hatred or whatever that's what I've never got can you try and explain that to me and help me out uh well unfortunately your spot on and it is inex inexplicable because it's totally illogical I mean you are right anti-Semitism is a form of racism in fact it is racism it happens to be racism against people of Faith rather than people of color um uh and it is you know anybody who would say I'm Against Racism uh should not be anti-semitic because the two are absolutely the same unfortunately in the world we live in somehow it's okay uh to be totally PC about gender um race color whatever but also you can be anti-semitic it's it's wrong it's ridiculous it shouldn't happen and and the point you make anti-Semitism is racism is just as abhorrent and should not be allowed um and yet somehow it seems to slip through the net um and and Je seem to be a Target in a way that um anybody else uh would would would not would it would it be called out as totally wrong it's a mystery to us frankly and to the victims of of it we really don't understand why and why people who are otherwise very liberal very woke um very PC it happens and they find themselves they're very blinker I don't see any of the PC World who quite rightly and I'll say this I don't see any of the people who are quite rightly underlined saying that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is appalling what's happening out there I don't see any of those people jumping up and down saying what's happening to British Jews in this country is wrong that's just a personal opinion we have it but I want to ask you one further question if I can before we bring D in there is a condemnation an increasing condemnation across the world from from America from Cameron this morning we hear Australia New Zealand and other countries saying netu this is this is appalling there's a a million displaced Palestinians in Gaza they've gone South now you're going to bomb there can you give me your take on this anti-Semitism one side I accept that what's your view on what's going on out there Jonathan well you're quite right to say they are one side and the other side they are totally unrelated and there are a lot of Jews who are also equally appalled by what's happening in Gaza I mean Palestinian suffering is human suffering is equally unacceptable and and it's not just me there are other rabbis other Jews in fact Israelis themselves and remember netanyahu's government was fiercely opposed by 50% of the Israeli electorate when he at the time um Israel is not a United uh Nation when they United against Hamas United against what happened against on October the 7th but there are a lot of Jews a lot of Israelis who are really very very upset about what's happening in Gaza we don't think it's right we don't think it's a long-term solution and we want to find a more diplomatic Way Forward there's no doubt about that um and but and here's the important point it's quite legitimate to be against the policies of the Israeli government be against um what Netanyahu is doing and yet yet um you can still support the state of Israel support Jewish people and certainly not be anti-semitic or or attack Jews here in Britain thank you of course listening to that is D Babu former met Chief superintendent D um why is it that we have an incident like on the 7th of October and then particularly for the Jewish Community they are then more at risk of things like damage to their property violent assaults yeah I it'san shocking and and I think there's not a single word I would disagree with what John uh Dr Jonathan has said said yeah uh I think we need we need to very very be very very clear we don't need to conflate being Jewish with the Israel State uh and I think lots of people will be concerned about what Israel are doing in Gaza but that's very very different from treating somebody who's Jewish and holding them responsible so I think we need to be very very clear and anti-Semitism is racism you know we should be very very clear why do you think D and and I'm really glad you said that and it's one of those subjects we were talking about it yesterday w't we Ros you well we can't talk about that why do you think that anti-Semitism which you accept is R jism Jonathan does all of us do is not I don't know the Right Way D to put this is not on the same level does not upset those who apparently get upset quite rightly by those things for all the people who absolutely understand that racism is wrong why do the PC bade seemingly not think that anti-Semitism is equally abhorent I don't get it I mean I don't know the reason but I think what happens is People conflate Israel yeah with Judaism and I think that i' I've Got Friends uh who who had children in Israel who were very very worried about what was happening on October the 7th they didn't know couldn't get hold of their children so and extremely worried um so I think we need to understand that there are many many Jewish people who are equally concerned as as Muslim people as Christian people about what's happening in Gaza uh what what we do have is almost without exception in fact there are no exceptions whenever there's a a conflict in the Middle East we have a rise in anti-Semitism actually we also have a rise in anti-muslim crime as well so so what we need to be doing is ensure that people understand there is a clear distinction between Israel and The Wider Jewish community and The Wider Jewish Community some will support Israel many people won't many of my my friends won't support them you said we need to I think we know there's a clear distinction how do you reassure the Jewish Community from a policing perspective which is obviously why you're here and that they will be looked after and and not feel scared things like going to school or you know not getting abused on the on the bus we've heard school children having an awful situation or not having their businesses you know graffitied or having thrown paint all over them um you're dealing with the consequences but how do we deal with the cause well I think what's happened is that there's been across the whole of the country and I think this is where the the government have stepped forward in terms of Jewish buildings so synagogues uh Jewish schools they are working with local authorities and uh other partners to ensure that there are additional uh patrols to to protect those children so there's a lot it's a very very comprehensive certainly when I was in the police we were Whenever there was a conflict we knew that there would be tensions and just listening to the rabbi there it's very very clear the the Interfaith work that goes on is very very good to hear and and and I think that Interfaith work happens all the time across lots of different areas and I think we and the police have valuable role to play in facilitating that working with the different communities and I think um I think what the rabbi said there was that we have very very good Interfaith relationships if you don't have those then then sometimes that whole situation can be much worse quick question before you go could the police be stronger on anti-Semitism in in the communities well Jeremy we've had this conversation many times there's been a massive reduction in placing a quarter of all the police of less than 5 years experience if we had more police would it make a difference I think the police would be able to do things more effectively if there was more resources I know resources a very very easy subject to bring up but it's the inexperience coupled with the lack of resources thank you D thank you very much

The real question today is: what would you do when you are raped and burned? Download YouTube 2023-12-18 (217) < Previous Next > I met families of hostages in Brussels. They told me about life in a kibbutz. Before October 7, they had a life, indeed. Since then, it has become hell because their loved ones were kidnapped or killed in the most barbaric way. Intentionally massacred and never to return. Because they are Jews. Hunted like animals, especially the women. And slaughtered as if they were nothing. Even animals have rights today Some know that their loved ones are in Gaza. A woman told me about her kidnapped sister. How do you go on with your life? Imagine yourself in their place. That your house was entered, the place you call home. And this kidnapped girl, what do you think Hamas is doing to her now? But it seems this violence leaves the world so indifferent. No one wants war But whatever we demand of the Israelis, let us first put ourselves in their place. Let’s always remember the intention. The clear intention to massacre someone because they are Jewish. Where is the world, where is Europe going if such hatred and indifference is permitted? Where is the United Nations going, whose role was to be the beacon of the world? The cowardice of keeping silent because the women who were killed are Jewish. Where are we going when so many of our top politicians tolerate the actions of an Islamic terrorist group and build their careers on the failure of integration in our countries? An attitude that brings this danger and anti-Semitism to our doorstep? Yes, we need a two-state solution. Yes, a life without war is better. But the real question today is: what would you do when you are raped and burned? Think of your loved ones with whom you will soon be spending Christmas. Would you leave them in Gaza? In the hands of Hamas? I hope and wish that we never have to answer that question. Assita Video Transcription:

They're also Hamas's most significant financial back, giving them over $1.8 billion in funding. Let's look at just a few examples taken from the US. Department of Education. Qatar donated to Georgetown University more than $173,000,000. To Cornell, they donated more than $600 million. Northwestern University received only 120, $29 million. Texas A and M received almost $386,000,000. Carnegie Mellon received the generous gift of $300 million. So next time you see this on campus, just follow the money close.
- Why are we blaming Israel? | Tikva International
Why are we blaming Israel? Download YouTube 2023-11-01 (#072) < Previous Next > Donny Deutsch says Israel seems to be on trial. On October 7th every inhumane thing that can be done was perpetrated by Hamas whose only mission is to eliminate Israel and all Jews. Israel is forever under scrutiny and asked to use restraint. On the college campuses, the rhetoric was elevated after Israel was attacked. One of the several messages on the Cornell bulletin board: "if you see a Jewish person on campus, follow them home and slit their throats. Rats need to be eliminated from Cornell." It's about the Antisemitism that is surfacing in America. Holocaust studies are part of the school curriculum and children usually ask how it happened. Here we have a tangible illustration of how it happened. Jews feel it and are terrified. It's everywhere. Faculty members of Columbia endorsed students who said the militants had a right to do what they did. Evil is not graded the same way when its against Jews and Israel. It's simply Antisemitism. Silence is complicity but it's not just silence: it's the marching for Hamas, for terrorists. University presidents aren't coming out and saying it's wrong. You can have empathy for the Palestinians and also say that slaughtering, beheading, burning babies and murdering is not humanity. But there's a bias against the plight of Israel even after 1400 civilians were slaughtered over an 8 and a half hour period on October 7th. Since then Israel has been on the defensive. In wars, innocent civilians get hurt and Hamas, just like the Nazis and ISIS, has to be taken out. The dislike for Jews makes their being hurt or slaughtered different, they "have it coming to them". Why can't the media simply lay things out evenly, report fairly? Israel is not perfect but it is a civilized democracy and Israelis want to live in peace. Hamas doesn't. Video Transcription: Related to the permission structure. It's not just silence. And I'm confused about this. I'm going to get to this in a second. Is that Israel seems to be on trial, which I don't understand, that Israel. People are saying ceasefire, and of course, none of us want violence, but there was a ceasefire on October 6. And since that time, we know what happened October 7. Beheading, raping, every inhumane thing that you can do, ripping babies out of mother's wombs. And since then, it's eight and a half hours of sustained violence against a civilian population and by a group whose only mission is not real estate and it's not protecting Palestinian people. They put their own people in harmway. They use them as shields. They've stolen billions of dollars of aid from the humanitarian aid from them. Their only mission is to eliminate Israel, eliminate all Jews. That's it. That's their mission. And yet, constantly, Israel seems to be on the defensive about explaining what they now, obviously, Israel has to be very careful and it's got to do things surgically. But no other group goes through this scrutiny. I mean, Joe Scarborough, our dear friend, had an amazing talk the other morning where he said, can you imagine if Mexico came in and Mexico had just did the same thing to us? Would people be saying, Restraint, restraint? And I also wonder this is going to bring me back to the college campuses. All the pro Palestinian where were the pro Palestinian chants when Palestinians have been oppressed in other areas? Is this pro Palestinian or is this simply anti Jewish and anti Israel? Which comes back to the campus and what's happening at the same time after Jews were attacked? It's elevated. And I need to read the things because it's not just rhetoric. This is what was on the Cornell bulletin board last night. If you see a Jewish person on campus, follow them home and slit their throats. Rats need to be eliminated from Cornell. Another one. If you see another Jew on campus, if you see a pig male Jew, I will stab you and slit your throat. If I see another pig female Jew, I will drag you away and rape you and throw you off a cliff. And it goes on and on and on. There's a level of hatred. And I want to draw the line back to why Israel is in the defensive position after being attacked. Because it's about anti Semitism and it's about the hate towards Jews that is now surfacing in this country. So I have a school age child who's learning about the Holocaust, and I think the Holocaust is taught as part of this commitment, right, that it should never happen again. And it usually lists questions, and it's usually part of a curriculum, usually makes people ask, especially young people, how did this happen? How did people not do anything? I think we have this real tangible illustration of how it happened. It's so heartbreaking. Every Jew I know is calling me and terrified for the first time in their life. Being Jewish. They feel it. When you are a generation away from the Holocaust, from the annihilation of 6 million Jews being Jews, there's something that goes from generation to generation, and people are feeling something in their stomachs in this country they've never felt before, and they're terrified. And I mean, just on the way here, somebody sent me a SWAST sticker that was drawn on a little candy store, a little shop in Montauk. It's every day. It's everywhere. Columbia just came out, and there are hundred faculty members endorsed students who said the militants had a right to do what they did. They didn't even call them terrorists that are mosque militants. There is something that for some reason, evil is not graded the same way when it's against Jews and it's against Israel. And I don't understand that. I do, actually. I do understand it. What is it? Antisemitism. There's something about that. For some reason, Jews as a group, as a minority. There's 15 million in the world. There would have been 250,000,000 without the Holocaust, for some reason, since the beginning of time. And I'm actually getting upset. It's somehow okay to go after these people in a way that no other people. I'm not a history student. I just know the history. We talk a lot about silence as complicity in our politics, and the weakness and cowardice of Republicans to call out someone who isn't just far to the right, but lurching toward autocratic tools and toolkits. In some ways, the silence here is more shocking to the system. It's not just silence. It's the marching for Hamas, marching for terrorists, and it's just endorsed. And university presidents have a hard time coming out and saying that's wrong. There are two truths at once. You can have empathy for the Palestinian people's plight, and also unequivocally, say, murdering and slaughtering and beheading and burning, burning babies beheading. This is not humanity. And yet there is this dance, this thing. And whereas I don't understand why absolute evil well, let me just pull back. I mean, I think everyone's struggling with it, right? Because I think there is a feeling that I showed the pictures of the baby because they influenced US policy, us. Foreign policy. Tony Blankham saw them on his trip. The Israeli government released the photos. I will never unsee the photos. I've had nightmares about the photos since I saw them. There's a couple levels of this. There's a horror of that. And there's also what you're talking about. There's such an anti Israeli bias because their domestic politics under Netanyahu. Netanyahu needs to go, by the way. Correct. And I think US foreign policy experts think that he may not be there, but there is this real bias against the plight of Israel even in the wake of 1400, primarily civilians being slaughtered over an eight and a half hour period. Mutilated, slaughtered, raped in front of their children and husbands. And what has Israel since then been on the defensive, explaining every move they make. And obviously, like any human, we want to do everything we can to protect every life. Of course. But they're in a war, and innocent civilians are going to be hurt, just like innocent Germans were hurt. But you still got to take out the Nazis. You got to take out ISIS, and Hamas has to be taken out, and there's no other answer. You can't live next door to people whose entire mission is to annihilate you and destroy you. And people in this country are cheering, and the media is just kind of tippy toeing around it. People are scared. People are scared of being canceled. People, you can cancel me. Cancel me, all right? I got nothing to be canceled. I'm just saying there is a climate where I haven't touched the college campus story. It's been going on for three weeks. There is a chill. I'll just say it. There's a chill. Why is that? Because people feel the hatred and they see it, and the chill is why are people not talking about it? That's a question for scholars over time. I'll tell you. The answer is that Jews are treated different than other groups, that there's a dislike, that there is somehow that Jews being hurt or being slaughtered is different than other people being hurt, that somehow they have it coming to them. Yeah, I said it. That's what this is about. It's sick, and it's sad. And I feel like until I'm sorry that I pressed, like, until it's all out there, we can't and I don't know why The New York Times and CNN, who are so quick to blame Israel, and you know what their source was? Hamas. They're getting their information from Hamas. And I don't know why the media just can't lay things out evenly. Nobody's asking you to side with either side. Just report it fairly. Report honestly, and report one group that is pure evil and the other group, like us. Israel is a civilized they're very imperfect, just like we are, but they're a civilized, human, value driven democracy. Every mother of a hostage that I interviewed said, I'm not political. I want to live in peace next to my neighbors. They didn't have political agenda. Israelis want to live in peace. Hamas doesn't. Hamas is not fighting for peace. They're fighting for death. They don't want peace for their own people. This is just so black and white stuff. There's no gray areas here. And the media is like, well, not anymore. Not here. Thank you. Thank you. I think you gave voice to something that I've heard a lot for the last three weeks. Thank you very much. A quick break for us. We'll be right back.

The complexity of context Download YouTube 2023-11-14 (#120) < Previous Next > The Complexity of Context. Propaganda that got 90,000 likes on Tik Tok: the Hellfire R9X must be one of the most terrible weapons that exist, and are specifically designed to cut people to shreds. The post claims that Israel launched one outside the Al Shifa Hospital. The truth: the Hellfire R9X is designed to minimize collateral damage because it employs a different kind of warhead and doesn't cause the widespread destruction associated with conventional warheads. Israel's goal is not to harm innocent Palestinian civilians, whic his why it uses a weapon specifically designed to minimize casualties. Video Transcription: Alright, so this picture got 90,000 likes on TikTok. Watch this propaganda. This weapon must be one of the most terrible things ever made by human beings. Specifically designed to cut people to shreds. And Israel launched it at a Palestinian sheltered outside of the Al Shifa hospital. No words can do justice to the depravity and evil we're witnessing. So this is the Hellfire R nine X missile. This is unbelievable. So either these people are extremely ignorant or extremely malicious. Let's read this together. The Hellfire R nine X is distinct from standard Hellfire missiles because it is designed to minimize collateral damage by employing a different type of warhead. Instead of the explosive warhead found in traditional Hellfire missiles, the R nine X is equipped with a dense, metallic, kinetic energy penetrator. Typically made of steel, this penetrator is designed to impact and penetrate the target, rather than causing a big explosion. The primary use of the Hellfire R nine X is for precision strikes against high value targets in densely populated or sensitive areas where minimizing collateral damage is critical. By using the kinetic energy penetrator, the missile can eliminate specific individuals or vehicles without causing the widespread destruction associated with explosive warheads. So Israel uses this weapon to try to minimize collateral damage and target exactly who they want to target and minimize casualties. Again, their goal is not harm innocent Palestinian civilians. Think about it. They use a weapon specifically designed to minimize casualties. Israel doesn't have to use these weapons. They could have used traditional warheads. It still would have got the job done. It just would have killed a lot of innocent people. But no, we're not going to give them credit. We're going to try to find a way to make them the bad guy, no matter what. It's gross.

She has 18 more weeks of pregnancy and calls on all members of the European Parliament who think what Hamas did is legitimate to call his or her mother because every mother in the world will condemn murder, kidnapping and then showing it on social media and bragging about it. She tries not to watch all the horrific videos, but one she did watch left an indelible mark on her:that of a pregnant mother whose belly was sliced open, her baby connected by its umbelical cord being stabbed, after which the mother is shot. How can any Parliament in the world say "but" to something like that? This is not about Palestine and Israel. It's about the future of humanity, the time to listen to the mothers. She spoke about it at a rally, about other mothers being like her, and got millions of reactions from all sides, including questions about Palestinian mothers. She cares about them too but the world needs to understand that Hamas doesn't care and are willing to sacrifice their own people. Even Israel doesn't want to sacrifice the Palestinian people. In the end, she says, they're like Jews: no one cares about them and indeed, the Arab world is not helping them. But this should not be an option and that is what the European Parliament should be saying . Several members of the EU tried to quote history but there's never been anything like this. There shouldn't be a hostage situation that could take months or even years to resolve. It's not an option! Video Transcription: Coming soon
