The Genocide Narrative Was Always PROPAGANDA

There was drone footage that was released from Gaza. Okay. And I saw a debate with uh another one on Pierce Morgan, Andrew, and Dave Smith. Dave got much more irritated in this one because I think when Dave loses the debate on substance, he just appeals to emotion and fetchiness. It was kind of obvious, which was unusual for Dave, but [snorts] I think it was revealed that you're losing when you just start to interrupt. Don't let someone finish the sentence and start to fetch and complain. happened with the Natasha Heddorf as well. But like here's the thing. I think deep down everyone knows like there's a huge difference of confusing tragedy and atrocity that's been going on over the last 3 years. And I feel like in the attempts to smear Israel and paint it as this genocidal state, like they often show this kind of drone footage of destroyed buildings and infrastructure. [snorts] They show the aftermath of an air strike, something like that. What you can never see, what you'll they never what what never gets shown is footage comparable to October 7th or footage that displays things like the Drews being massacred in Syria, thrown off of rooftops, shot in the legs, bricks being it's footage from comparable to what you see in Gaza, uh from what Kamas is doing to so-called collaborators, [snorts] you know, smashing their feet with bricks, shooting them in the head in the street in front of in front of a mob of people or, you know, footage of the Boss family, the twins, uh, the the Boss babies and Shar Bos being returned in coffins as everyone's standing around all in some sort of ceremony. You can't find that on the other side. Instead, you find drone footage and you find the aftermath without any context of air strikes, of military operations. This isn't just arbitrary aesthetics there. The these are moral differences between the sides. I'm sorry. They are. I'm not downplaying the severity of the destruction that takes place during war, but it's a very different thing. And it's so easily manipulatable. You could show destruction of a series of buildings and infrastructure, but what does that tell you? Does it tell you anything specific other than, okay, that looks severe. It looks serious. It looks tragic. But what if I told you the tragedy is the extent to which not Israel destroyed Gaza or large swaths of it. The tragedy is to the extent to which Gaza became militarized by a terrorist organization for years and years and years that built a tunnel network underneath that outfitted all these buildings for military purposes. All these people who want to on Israel, they start the story in the middle. They say these were hospitals, these were schools, these were mosques. Yeah, they were until they became militarized as bases of operation to store weapons, to fire rockets from. By the time Israel attacked them, they were not those things. Now I get it. You can make the argument of proportionality of what's a proportionate response, what's justified, but you have to at least accept the fact that uh it's a difficult situation when you're being threatened and attacked and rockets are landing on you from a specific area and you're making efforts, concerted efforts to target a specific area. Who's responsible when uh civilian infrastructure gets converted into a military uh location where you're operating out of? What's what are the choices? Israel has to simply sit back and take attacks and accept attacks on it on its citizens. They're not factoring in first of all rockets that land back on their uh civilian infrastructure which happened many many times if you actually talk to people on the ground and research this. But at the same time, if you just start the story in the middle and say that because this place was a school or a hospital or mosque, you ignore all the context that leads up to Israel having to be having to retaliate, necessitating a response to retaliate. It It's kind of nuts. If you walked into a bar and you saw someone getting pummeled, you might think, "Oh my god, what's that guy doing? He's the aggressor beating up some guy in a bar." If you re rewind reind the scenario and found out that the other guy was attacking the guy first or was threatening to kill him and then hid behind a a bunch of people and continued to attack. It gives a little bit of context. I'm not saying every single strike is necessary. I'm not can't defend every necessar necessary strike Israel had done. I'm not privy [clears throat] to the information or the thought that goes into it. But I know that thought goes into it. I know that they go through an entire legal process to approve strikes. There's all of these things that go on. Now, why would they do all those things? Why would they have rules of engagement if it they simply wanted to just destroy Gaza indiscriminately? If they were just genocidal, why would they go through those things? Why would they go through the trouble of risking their own soldiers lives, sending them into booby trapped buildings? Like, you guys all think you know what urban warfare is like and that it's just simple that they could just snap their fingers. I I wonder what would be okay with these people criticizing Israel. What would be okay? Because all they have is complaints and finger wagging. I mean, you have to at least accept that this is more complicated than simply looking at imagery and coming to some sort of conclusion without any sort of context. To the extent to which Gaz has been militarized and used for that purposes, you have to hold those people accountable. This would not have happened if kamas did not the last 20 some odd years completely turn Gaza into a terrorist statelet where they operated out of. And if all you can show is that drone footage and nothing comparable like you don't see Palestinians dragged through the streets of Tel Aviv Tamasa cheering cheering crowds spitting on their bodies on a truck being taken in as hostages and then foot you don't see the IDF releasing footage of Palestinian hostages starving digging their own graves. There is a moral difference between Israel and its enemies. And if you're not sophisticated enough and you're too intellectually lazy to have a adult conversation about war, what that entails, what it takes for a military to defend its citizens and its sovereignty. Okay, then just look at images, look at pictures from a distance and come to conclusions. You know, they did the same thing during COVID. There's plenty of ways to manipulate imagery. these same people who were I don't know at least better on the co issue. I mean they showed hospitals overrun. They showed people coughing and dying on ventilators and said look at this horrible atrocity. Look at this tragedy. Look at what's going on. We all need to hunker down and shut down our lives and separate. You mean to tell me that they're capable of exaggerating the conditions and environment during CO and not capable of doing the exact same thing to perpetuate a narrative here with Israel? Come on. You're kidding me. Of course they can. I think what's going to happen here is just like the co largely the co narrative was shown to be a hoax in that regard the extent of its severity [snorts] the where it was how it originated all the stuff that came out with Fouchy even the stuff with BLM or BLM as an organization was shown to be corrupt the stuff with George Floyd where of course you see that imagery of what what was going on with George Floyd at the time I remember and people were just outraged people took to the streets came out later that there was more information about the condition of George Floyd that he may have actually died from fentinyl overdose. I mean, we can get into those details, but the point is imagery, snapshots, out of context, abstractions, they don't tell you the full story. They don't tell you reality. A lot of deception going on. And if all you can show is drone footage and then you come to some sort of conclusion over what was just or more without actually understanding what you're looking at and why. I think as time goes on we're going to see more and more of this to have been revealed as propaganda to perpetuate a narrative to create a false reality and people just run with it. And I think people kind of deep down know. I think they really do know because it's easier to just point fingers at Israel because the other alternative is actually having to face the reality of the threat that Israel faces. And that's a lot scarier. That's a lot scarier. Do this exercise if you've come to find out that just one of those buildings that you see in the drone footage that was was destroyed, one of those buildings was used for military purposes. The windows were carved out in that one building. What they would do is uh take a window, they would outfit it so that they could shoot RPGs, rocket propelled grenades at soldiers in uh these heavily urbanized uh environments. And you don't know who's shooting the RPG. Could be a 16-year-old, 17-year-old, could be a 30-year-old male. If it's a 16-year-old, that would get factored in as a child, even though that person, that 16 or 17year-old is shooting an RPG at a battalion. But they take a window, they'd outfit it and make it extra big so you could fire rockets from it. You could fire RPGs from it. So that's just one building. And then it was filled with weapons cachets and a tunnel access point where they'd smuggle weapons and transport hostages. Is that building a legitimate target? Ask yourself in this exercise, if that building is a legitimate target and you multiply that building, which in and of itself in isolation is a legitimate target, multiply it by 10, 20, 30 until an entire block is made up of those kinds of buildings, then it's a matter of scale and degree. But if they're all in isolation individually legitimate targets, then why isn't a block of those buildings a legitimate target? What you're really failing to accept [snorts] is not the justification for Israel doing this, but the reality that Hamas actually did this. That's what you're failing to accept. I'm going to add this image to the stage now. Check it out. You can see this. And I think this I got this from James Lindsay retweeted this. If you're not following James Lindsay on Twitter, you have to. He's been amazing at this stuff. Check it out. Here's some drone footage. They're showing areas of destruction in Gaza, but you could easily zoom out and show the specific areas that were targeted. So, they zoom in and you can crop certain images and paint this picture. And the tweet goes on to say that uh if you zoom in on other parts, you see that they weren't targeted. My point being, if you can imagine in such a scenario where a single building is being used to attack Israel and fire rockets at Israel and keep hostages and store weapons, if you can say to yourself, okay, well, I guess that's a legitimate target, then why are five of those buildings not legitimate targets or 10 or 20? Now, I understand collateral damage is a real thing and innocent people caught in the crossfire is a real thing. Those have to be taken into consideration. But every decision in war has a costbenefit analysis. And every time Israel doesn't take actions to properly defend itself, it puts its own citizens and own soldiers at risk of death and harm. And that's what you're asking Israel to do. You're saying, "Well, no, you can't destroy that building. You have to send troops inside the building." And they send troops inside the building. It's totally booby trapped and they die. That's what you're asking Israel to do. To sacrifice its own soldiers to put its own soldiers at risk so you and the West can feel better about your own western sensibilities and virtue signal the uh and virtue signal from far far away. You face none of the risks. Even those who say you shouldn't have attacked that doing doing nothing comes is a risk. Leaving a building alone to operate is a risk. And then if you look at the numbers themselves, this claim, everyone's saying a genocide in 4K. You repeat the lie enough. You repeat the lie enough, people just start saying it as if it's common sense. Oh yeah, the genocide. Oh yeah, the genocide. James Lindsay says, "There is no genocide in Gaza. And if you ever believed there was, you fell for low IQ slot propaganda and acted as the useful idiots of the Red Green Alliance and enemies of Western civilization." I agree. Just look up the numbers for yourselves. The ones who believe it's a genocide, the same one who believed that COVID was going to be the biggest crisis known to man, that all the COVID deaths that were exaggerated, that you know, the people who died from CO are people who who died with COVID, but they factored in as COVID deaths. The same kind of inflating is happening here, [snorts] and people are just regurgitating it and recycling it. I'm not trying to make light of uh death tolls and numbers and stuff like that, but if you put out the death tolls and it's like 70,000 people and Kamas has if it's 70,000 and Hamas has anywhere between I don't know 40 to 60 active fighters, 40 to 60,000, excuse me, active fighters. Thousands of people took part in October 7th and then were aided and embedded back in Gaza. If people were supporting a network of uh people keeping Israeli hostages, if those people were UN workers, everyday people, but were storing a hostage in your attic, people who wore journalist uniforms but participated in October 7th filmed Israeli hostages being taken or helped support this endeavor. It's pretty expansive. So maybe people just don't want to accept the reality that such evil exists within a culture, within a population, within the Gaza Strip. But it does. And you can pretend it doesn't if it makes you feel better and you can make up smears and lies and slogans, but doesn't change the reality. [sighs] So anyway, that's my take on that. And uh I think with time we're going to start to see the truth be uh revealed and this will all be kind of uh exposed as a giant propaganda slop that worked on a lot of people. But you're going to start to see it as we get some distance from it. [music]
