0:05About a month ago, the 6 million subscriber YouTube channel H3H3 Productions released a video called Content Nuke Hassan [ __ ] In this video, the host, YouTuber Ethan Klene,
0:16alleges that the political streamer Hassan [ __ ] is an extremist that supports terrorism and terrorist groups.
0:22And over time, I started to learn that my co-host, he really likes terrorists,
0:26promotes anti-semitism and is radicalizing his viewers to do the same.
0:30He accuses Hassan of being a rape deniialist and goes on to accuse him of prolonging what he calls the Israel Palestine conflict with his radical views.
0:39This conflict will never end until people realize that Palestinian liberation and Israeli security are not mutually exclusive. You need both. and
0:48it can be done, but not while people like Hassan lie, propagandize, and incite hate. It's people like him,
0:55ironically, that prolong the conflict indefinitely.
0:59In this video, Ethan also criticizes Twitch, the platform that Hassan streams on, accusing the company of having a systemic problem of anti-semitism. He
1:06cites the company's open support of Hassan, its sponsorship of a live event that Ethan claims was anti-semitic. I feel like this is indefensible,
1:15blatant, obvious anti-semitism. And this was green lit by Twitch to appear on their main stage.
1:21And it's alleged discrimination against Jews through a recent ban on new account signups from Israel. So, I'm going to tip my hand a bit here and say at the
1:29outset that uh this video is quite possibly the worst video I've ever seen. It's plagued with factual errors,
1:35misrepresentations, contradictions, and overt pro-Israel Bush era US State Department propaganda. For a more thorough breakdown of all of this
1:44video's problems, I'd recommend the YouTube channel Bad Empanada. He's gone point by point with these and debunked them, many of them months prior to the release of Ethan's video. Hassan himself
1:52has also responded to most of these claims also months ago. I will leave these videos linked below in a playlist.
1:57Given the existence of these dozens of other responses, I'm not here to repeat their arguments. You can just go watch them. No, the real reason I'm talking about Ethan's video today is less about
2:06what he says in it and more about what he doesn't say, the things he chooses to leave out. save for a passing mention of an outdated, vastly underestimated death
2:15toll of Palestinians in Gaza, Ethan omits the Palestinian side of the story entirely. He doesn't talk about Gaza. He doesn't give any specifics about what
2:24Israel is doing there. And this is an issue uh for a few reasons, but mainly all of the points he raises are directly tied to the Gaza genocide. The main
2:32targets of this video are some of the only groups in the world that have violently resisted Israel's genocide and the few figures in independent media
2:40that are willing to tell the Palestinian side of the story. By leaving out the broader context, Ethan is able to present a false perception to these millions of viewers about the
2:47motivations behind the people his video attacks. He's able to frame them as mindless terrorist supporting America-hating anti-semites and not what
2:55they really are, which is anti- genocide people. People that are against genocide. Western media manufactures consent for large-scale terror
3:04operations across the globe in a number of ways. There are more overt forms like atrocity propaganda. There are also more subtle ways like deceptively framing
3:12information, using passive language, and creating false perceptions about conflicts through things like burying the lead and lies by omission. All of
3:20these tactics are present in Ethan's video and the wider online smear campaign that motivated it. But it's that last thing that I think does quite a bit of damage. Um, lying by omission.
3:29The way Ethan's video is framed seems to imply that Israel's genocide in Gaza is not actually a genocide. He never explicitly uses the term himself, but
3:37it's presented as just another thing that's happening in the Middle East.
3:41That's sad, but ultimately the product of a war that there are deaths on both sides and that all we need to have peace is rational dialogue between these two
3:50sides. This could not be further from the truth. And to better understand this, uh, we need to talk about Gaza.
3:56Thus far, I've been using the term genocide in reference to Israel's actions in Gaza. But it seems like a lot of the people using it on social media here have a general lack of
4:04understanding of the gravity of what that term actually means. Genocide isn't just bad thing that's happening where people are dying. No, that's not what it
4:12is. It's a holocaust. The USIsraeli holocaust. That's what it should be called. Israel is using everything in its power to eradicate Palestinians from
4:19the planet. The fact that Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide isn't controversial. Not among the experts at least. This is the near universal
4:26consensus among top human rights groups and humanitarian organizations operating on the ground in Gaza that Israel is committing genocide, countless war crimes and crimes against humanity.
4:35There is the Amnesty International report, a 300page report that accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. There was the Human Rights Watch report accusing
4:42Israel of crimes against humanity and genocide in Gaza, specifically through the intentional deprivation of access to clean drinking water. The United
4:50Nations, Eurommed Monitor, Doctors Without Borders, the International Committee of the Red Cross, Israeli human rights groups like Betelum,
4:56various Holocaust scholars, they're all saying the same thing. Last year, the International Court of Justice ruled that the case for Israel's genocide in Gaza is plausible. It was a preliminary
5:05hearing and the final rulings on cases of genocide typically take multiple years, but the ICJ issued several provisional measures to prevent the possibility of a genocide taking place.
5:15Provisional measures which Israel has failed to follow completely. And then there was of course the International Criminal Court who issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister
5:22Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yo Galant who are now wanted international war criminals.
5:28Towards the start of his video, Ethan mentions a death toll figure of 40,000 Palestinian people.
5:34Of course, if you compare the raw numbers, Gazins have lost a lot more than Israelis. 40,000 people have died
5:41and neighborhoods have been completely flattened during this war.
5:45The figure he cites is wrong. It's just wrong. Credible estimates have placed the full scale of the slaughter in Gaza at over 65,000 deaths due to traumatic
5:53injury alone, with further projections that include indirect deaths in the hundreds of thousands, potentially over 10% of the population of Gaza. Ethan's
6:01brief and false citation leaves a lot of other things unmentioned, like how the vast majority of these deaths have been Palestinian civilians, including over
6:0815,000 children. The United Nations described Gaza as a graveyard for children just months into the genocide.
6:14And after that, Israel only ramped up its child killing. Ethan does not mention that over 1,200 families have been completely erased from the Gaza
6:22civil registry, meaning that every single member of their bloodline has been killed. Nor does he mention that the mass slaughter of these innocent civilians has been intentional. Israel has a long history of intentionally
6:30targeting Palestinian civilians for slaughter. This dates back to the Nakba,
6:34the ethnic cleansing of over 700,000 Palestinians from their land in 1948,
6:38which included the massacre of thousands of civilians. And it's also evident in all of Israel's many previous violent incursions into Gaza specifically.
6:46During Operation Castled, starting in late 2008 to 2009, Israel slaughtered about 1,400 Palestinian people. 300 of those were children. During this
6:55widespread massacre, Israel ordered people to shelter in schools, so-called humanitarian safe zones, then proceeded to bomb the schools and kill people by
7:02the dozens. This practice has continued at an even larger scale in the latest escalation in Gaza.
7:10Ferras, my brother, Ferras, he screams.
7:13The pain is overwhelming as corpses lie by his feet.
7:23These are the moments just after an Israeli strike on a school, sheltering thousands of displaced Palestinians.
7:31During the 2018 border protests or the Great March of Return, which were recognized by human rights organizations as being overwhelmingly peaceful, Israel
7:39fired on the peaceful crowds with sniper rifles, injuring thousands and killing hundreds. The UN reports concluded that Israeli snipers were intentionally
7:46targeting children, medics, pregnant women, and disabled people. Israeli snipers later publicly gleefully recounted their experiences of hunting
7:54Palestinians for sport, bragging about the number of kneecaps they could shatter. This trend has continued in Israel's latest escalation since October 7th to an extreme degree. IDF snipers
8:02are intentionally targeting children for execution by shooting them in the skull and in the heart. Healthcare workers have testified to seeing Israeli drones hovering outside of hospitals, picking
8:11off children. That's where they're shooting them and injuring them and then circling back to execute them.
8:16What I think I found particularly disturbing was that um a bomb would drop
8:22maybe on a crowded tented area and then the drones would come down and
8:32you take your time. It's we're incredibly grateful. So the drones would come down and pick off civilians,
8:40children,
8:41and we had description after description. This is not, you know, an occasional thing. This was day after day after day operating on children who
8:51would say, "I was lying on the ground after a bomber dropped and this quadcopter came down and hovered over me
8:57and shot me." And the that's a clearly a deliberate act.
9:05And it was a persistent act, persistent targeting of civilians day after day. We had one or two mass casualty incidents every day and that meant 10 to 20 dead,
9:1720 to 40 seriously injured.
9:19Just hunting Palestinian children for sport. It's pure terrorism. The Israelis also have a history of murdering Palestinian civilians by running them over with bulldozers and tanks. Recall
9:28the story of the killing of Kamal Zer from April of 2002. Israeli tanks shot and killed him and then proceeded to run him over. He was 57 years old,
9:36wheelchair bound and waving a white flag. Another prominent case of this was Rachel Corey, a 23-year-old American peace activist who was murdered by an
9:44Israeli bulldozer while protesting the destruction of Palestinian homes in Gaza. Israelis for years after her murder celebrated the day by making
9:51pancakes with Rachel Cory's face painted into them. In the latest escalation,
9:55individual Israeli soldiers have admitted to committing these atrocities by the hundreds. The only reason we have these admissions is because Western outlets have written articles with
10:03concerns over how the mass murdering affects these uh soldiers mental health.
10:08Another element to the case that Israel is committing genocide is its continuous intentional deprivation of the basic necessities for life for Palestinians in Gaza. They've been using starvation as a
10:16weapon of war, a war crime and a crime against humanity. Most recently,
10:20Israel's response to the quote unquote ceasefire in Gaza is to continue this mass starvation while explicitly stating it as a matter of policy. They have
10:28blocked humanitarian aid throughout the genocide in violation of international law, the ceasefire orders, and the ICJ's provisional measures against genocide.
10:36The pretext they've fabricated for this policy of intentional starvation is that Hamas is looting these aid trucks. They have provided no evidence for this
10:44claim. What we do have evidence for is that Israel has protected and supported criminal gangs with ties to ISIS in areas that Israel has full control over.
10:53And these groups have been looting aid trucks. Israel is intentionally depriving Palestinians in Gaza of access to clean water. Oxfam reported that Israel has destroyed over a thousand miles of water and sanitation networks,
11:04leaving less than 7% of pre-war water levels in Rafa and North Gaza. Israel has also partially or entirely destroyed over 80% of water and sanitation
11:13infrastructure in Gaza, including all six of its mainline wastewater treatment plants. Brutal violent attacks on the health care system are another aspect of
11:21the genocide. Uh they've damaged or destroyed every single hospital in Gaza and murdered countless medical workers,
11:28doctors, nurses, rescue workers, and healthcare staff. They've kidnapped doctors and held them without charge where they've been tortured. Dr. Adnan Al Burr, Gaza's leading orthopedic
11:37surgeon, was kidnapped by Israeli soldiers, brought to an Israeli prison,
11:41and then reportedly raped to death. The latest UN reports have concluded that over 90% of the buildings in Gaza have been severely damaged or completely
11:49destroyed. If you watch any of the footage coming out of Gaza, this is made quite clear. Israel's destruction includes every single school, hospital, mosque, cultural center, church,
11:58residential areas, everything has been bombed. It's estimated that it will take a minimum of 15 years to remove the debris and unexloded ordinances from the
12:06Gaza Strip. That's just removing it, by the way, not rebuilding. In September,
12:10the UN released an estimate that uh because of Israel's illegal and inhumane blockade around Gaza, which regularly limits the transfer of things like concrete into the strip, fully rebuilding Gaza, will take 350 years.
12:22Gaza is about 25 mi long and 5 mi wide.
12:24It is one of the most densely populated areas on Earth. It is in this area that Israel has dropped, equivalent to that of multiple nuclear weapons. Israel has
12:32done this with full knowledge that over half the population of Gaza is children.
12:36So, no, this isn't just a case where 40,000 people died. A lot more than that happened. One of the most tragic elements of the Gaza genocide is that,
12:44you know, as crucial as it may be for the factual record and eventually holding the perpetrators accountable,
12:49merely recounting these statistics does not afford Palestinians the dignity of humanity. They're simply reduced to numbers, to tens of thousands of names
12:57on a registry, as if they aren't human beings with dreams, hopes, hobbies,
13:01interests, and love for the people around them. If you've had this feeling as well, I want to recommend a book.
13:06It's called If I Must Die. It's written by renowned Palestinian poet, author,
13:10and teacher Dr. Rafat Alar. It's full of stories and poetry and history about life, or rather survival in Gaza during
13:18occupation and genocide. It is beautifully written and humanizing beyond anything you'll ever get from most coverage of Gaza, especially in the
13:25West. I have a friend from Gaza, his name is Ahmed Sarsur, and he's a very talented poet. We got in contact on social media and when I read his work,
13:33it moved me in a very similar way to the way Dr. Rafat's words have. Ahmed has a sister, Rana. She is a mother and a gynecologist from Gaza and is seeking
13:41help after being displaced in February of last year. She and her children were forced to flee their home and her life was further devastated when her home and her family members' homes were
13:50destroyed. She gave birth to her baby Rose in a hospital without proper care and no anesthetic and now faces a dire situation with limited resources. I've
13:58linked her fundraiser in the description. support if you can. The funds raised will go towards essentials like diapers, baby formula, medicine,
14:04basic living items, rent, and travel expenses for relocation. Another friend of mine, Ahmed M, is a 27-year-old inventor from Gaza. He makes these
14:12brilliant videos showing the process of constructing creative inventions to use in order to survive in Gaza. After the so-called ceasefire was implemented,
14:20Ahmed and his family returned to their home in the north only to find that it had been looted, vandalized, and destroyed by the occupation forces.
14:28support his campaign if you can. I will leave these fundraisers as well as a link to Dr. Aler's book in the description. The book is devastating
14:35though, especially considering the fate of its author. Dr. Rafat was killed by Israel in a targeted assassination in December of 2023. He was killed
14:44alongside his brother Salah with his son Muhammad and his sister Asma and three of her children. This came after having over 30 members of his and his wife's
14:52family slaughtered by Israel over the course of their lives. What these numbers also fail to communicate is the weight and depth the effects of this
14:59crime has had and will continue to have for generations. To speak only of the children of Gaza, they will forever hold the wounds and trauma caused by Israel's
15:07genocide in their minds and hearts. It was reported that when asked, over half of the children in Gaza expressed a desire to die. Many of them already held
15:14such wounds, though, of course. But in terms of sheer scale and intensity, what we're seeing now is incomprehensible except to those experiencing it.
15:23Throughout these 17 months of genocide,
15:24the international community has left the people of Gaza to languish and die. If there's anything we've learned about Israel in the past 100 years, it's that
15:31there is no crime they can commit that won't go unpunished up to and including genocide. In the latest escalation,
15:38again, the world has watched this happen and done nothing. And some have, of course, actively made this genocide possible. Most notably, that would be
15:46the United States government. The US and the Biden administration is fully complicit in this genocide. They've repeatedly sent billions of dollars in
15:54weapons shipments and provided military and diplomatic support. Over 80% of the killing machinery that has been used to slaughter Palestinians in Gaza has been
16:02provided by the United States government. They've also provided rhetorical and diplomatic support by whitewashing Israel's crimes against humanity, laundering Israeli atrocity
16:10propaganda and denying and dismissing genocide allegations. That last one should come as no surprise given that a genocide ruling against Israel does also
16:18implicate the United States in the crime of aiding and abetting genocide since they sent the bombs that made it possible. The ICC is already being urged
16:26to investigate Joe Biden and Anthony Blinkin for their role in perpetrating this very crime. These actions have shown the US to be acting in violation
16:33of both domestic and international laws by sending weapons to a regime that is actively and intentionally blocking access to humanitarian aid against a
16:41civilian population that they are occupying and ignoring the arrest warrants issued by the international criminal court against Netanyahu and Gallant. This is just another plot on
16:50the long long chart of the US and Israel's position as rogue states in the international community. There's a comment I saw on Ethan Klein's video. Uh
16:58it read, "I feel like a lot of people can't separate Israelis and the Israeli government." And the same with the other side. Like you are allowed to hate on
17:05the people who actually kill people and not hate the innocent adults and children that are being killed from both sides. This is a popular framing among
17:13liberals and liberal outlets that we should separate the Israeli people from the actions of their government. While there are some examples from the past
17:20where this may be true, such as uh the case of the American public's attitudes towards the end of the Vietnam War, which diverged from their government,
17:28the same cannot be said in the case of Israel. The vast majority of the Israeli public supports this genocide. Months into the genocide, polling showed that
17:36over 95% of Jewish Israeli supported the IDF's actions, with a majority of those indicating that the IDF was not using
17:43enough force in Gaza. The force in question there being, you know,
17:47genocide. They wanted more. It wasn't enough apparently. 17 months later and nothing has really changed. Just weeks ago, polling indicated that the Trump
17:54administration's plan to facilitate the ethnic cleansing of Gazins was supported by over 80% of Israelis. This headline refers to Israelis as a whole, but that
18:0280% support statistic is actually only the perspective of Jewish Israelis. A majority of Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, or Arab Israelis as the Israeli government tries to call them,
18:13considers this ethnic cleansing plan to be immoral. When it comes to Jewish Israelis, however, that number drops to just 3%. This should come as no surprise
18:20given Israel's history, a country that exists on the logic of ethnic supremacy and colonization, requires a certain level of dehumanization to keep its
18:29inhabitants from collapsing under the weight of the reality of their rotten society. Another way to get a handle on the seemingly ubiquitous genocidal fervor among Israelis is by just talking to them.
18:38How many civilians have been killed in Gaza from what you know? Who gives a [ __ ]
18:44Okay. But don't you feel like for example children children grow up to be Arabs? I read the
18:53numbers last week. My memory died and went to heaven. I don't think children should suffer but they're always
19:00casualties. And since they do a lot of pure vu that is a natural result.
19:17Okay.
19:37Most of the kids there that are getting killed, I'm never I I never support little children dying. You know, I never
19:45want to but but most of them will grow up not only supporting Hamas, which is a crime by itself, but joining them, which
19:54is the worst of the worst. for
20:20there is no such thing as Palestinians.
20:22They're Arabs who have many countries to flee to and nobody wants them to.
20:27[clears throat] But if we do call them Palestinians, their parents use them as uh human shields to gain sympathy. The
20:36natural instinct of a Jewish mother is to protect her child. Palestinian Palestinian women do not have that.
20:43These people know that they're on camera and that these remarks will be posted on the internet or shared on the mainstream news. This is normal to them. this is
20:51normal in their society, which is a testament to the fact that their society is not normal. It's typically bad form to site street interviews as being some
20:58meaningful indicator of widespread attitudes. But again, with Israel, it's just different. Not just because these attitudes align perfectly with the wider
21:06Israeli polling data, but also because it's almost impossible to find anyone in Israel saying anything else. The amount of truly anti-ionist Israelis living in
21:14Israel numbers in the hundreds. This figure is according to anti-ionist Israelis themselves. They are alone.
21:20Everyone around us are completely genocidiled maniacs. Everyone around you
21:27and I don't mean it metaphorically. It's not metaphorically. It's literally everybody. It will be your family. It will be your teachers. It will be your
21:35colleagues. Everyone around you. So you'll alone. Even if we will gather all
21:42of the all of those anti-z together from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv or Kyifa or whatever, it will not be more than I don't know 500.
21:51There's no tangible internal opposition within the country. The Israeli left is a myth. This is reflected once more in the openly genocidal sentiment we see on
21:59social media from IDF terrorists who have been willingly, gleefully posting their own war crimes on the internet for everyone to see for a year and a half.
22:07They go into the homes of Palestinians and they're often clearly staying there and they just smash them up and they film themselves smashing them up. They
22:16also delight in going through women's underwear drawers and this is a sort of recurring obsession. You have to see
22:23Israeli soldier videos in the context of the broader output of Israeli society.
22:29If you gave me a button to just erase Gaza, every single living being in Gaza would no longer be living tomorrow. I
22:38would press it in a second. I would press it right now. Give me that button and press it right now. There you go.
22:45And I think most Israelis would. There's an Israeli song called This Was My Home.
22:49And what they would do is dress up as caricaturures of obviously what they perceive Palestinians to be, being sung mockingly to people who no longer have
22:57homes. We're not looking at some sort of obscure subculture within Israeli society. This is mainstream Israeli
23:05society. People have been keeping tabs on this. There are a number of archives documenting the names and crimes of these Israeli terrorists. One of the most thorough of these databases was
23:13created by a historian Lee Morai. It's called Bearing Witness to the Israel Gaza War. It is presently over 120 pages long with extremely detailed footnotes.
23:22There's that one tweet that's like, you know, hitting translate from Hebrew on Twitter is like discovering a lost page from Minecom. This holds up pretty well here. Let's try it on this tweet. Uh,
23:32the survivors of the 2025 Holocaust are proof that every trace of the murderous mutations in Gaza must be erased from delivery rooms to the last elderly
23:41person in Gaza. 100% dead in Gaza. That there is Barashi Kineret, the host of a mainstream Israeli news channel. One
23:49more example that I found particularly striking was the right to rape protests.
23:53A group of Israeli prison guards were placed under investigation after security camera footage leaked showing them gang raping a Palestinian prisoner.
24:00The Israeli public reacted in uproar,
24:03not because of what they were alleged to have done, but because they were potentially going to be punished for it.
24:08Protests were held outside of the prison attended by top Israeli officials.
24:12mainstream Israeli news channels brought on one of the alleged rapist soldiers for interviews supporting him and his right to um kill and rape Palestinian
24:21hostages. Again, this wasn't some extremist fluke. It was reflected in broader polling of the Israeli public.
24:27According to a poll taken around that time, 65% of Israeli Jews opposed criminal prosecution for soldiers suspected of raping Palestinian
24:35detainees. And 47% of Jewish Israelis answered that Israel does not need to abide by international law and maintain moral values in the war. Uh simply put,
24:45it's a genocidal society top to bottom.
24:47Perhaps the most complicit party to enabling this genocide, aside from the material support of Western governments,
24:52is the Western media. As previously mentioned, this support largely takes two forms. the more overt kinds like spreading misinformation um and explicit
25:01Israeli state and IDF propaganda and the other more subtle yet significantly more frequent and effective is that of
25:09manufacturing consent. Reporting on Palestinians has some clear differences in coverage uh language and framing when compared with other groups. In the first
25:18100 days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, 262 children were killed. In the first 100 days of Israel's assault on Gaza, more than 10,000 children were
25:27killed. The true number is likely much higher, but mentions of child deaths and related terms were 33.4% higher for Ukraine than for Gaza. During this time
25:36frame, CNN mentioned child victims of the war 2,446 times for Ukraine versus 2,110
25:43times for Gaza. and MSNBC mentioned child victims of the Ukraine war 1,775 times versus 1522 times for Gaza. This
25:53means that for each child death from Ukraine, children received the equivalent of 16.1 mentions on air,
25:59whereas children in Gaza received the equivalent of 0.36 mentions. MSNBC did not run a single segment in the first
26:06100 days that focused specifically and exclusively on the plight of children in Gaza. MSNBC ran over a dozen segments focusing specifically on the plight of
26:15Ukrainian children during the first 100 days of that conflict. Emotive language was barely ever used to describe the killing of Palestinians. This comes
26:23despite the vastly higher death toll over the same period. On CNN and MSNBC,
26:28the words war crime and genocide were mentioned 17 times more in the context of Ukraine than in the context of Gaza.
26:34Ukrainian victims were labeled as subject to war crimes or genocide 1,790 times compared to just 104 mentions for Palestinians. And we still see this now.
26:44Obviously, during the hostage exchanges as a result of the latest so-called ceasefire, for example, you may notice that Palestinians detained without
26:52charges in Israeli jails, of which there are thousands. they are referred to as prisoners, whereas the IDF soldiers,
26:59that is actual militants that were captured by Hamas on October 7th, are referred to as hostages. One of the greatest tweets of all time that I've
27:07ever seen uh described the capture of an IDF terrorist during October 7th as him being kidnapped from a tank. Kidnapped from a tank.
27:17Kidnapped from a tank. coverage has been focused almost exclusively on the condition of these IDF quote unquote hostages, rarely making mention of
27:25Israel's contribution to their condition, like how they starve out the population of Gaza, which obviously affects all of the people in Gaza,
27:32including the Israeli hostages in Gaza,
27:34or the fact that they rain air strikes on them all day, every day for 16 months straight. Is that good for your health?
27:40Is that healthy? The same cannot be said of coverage of the Palestinian hostages.
27:44Despite emerging from these Israeli jails with clear evidence of extreme physical abuse, images of the Palestinian hostages are rarely if ever shown.
28:04The assumption is just granted. It's relied on that they're terrorists,
28:08criminals, and whatever else. So whatever happens to them, that's just what happens in jail. The Western media lies in other subtle ways like burying the lead in stories and deceptively
28:16framing headlines. This is especially apparent in coverage of things like ceasefire negotiations. These outlets have consistently framed the lack of agreement to terms as being Hamas's
28:25fault that they won't agree to Israel's terms. But they interestingly decide to use only one definition of the ceasefire agreement, which is Israel's definition.
28:33that being one which is only temporary uh with no guarantees that the genocide will end after these temporary pauses.
28:39They're not really ceasefires, but in order to frame Hamas as disagreeing with them, that's what they have to call them. The ceasefire that ended up being agreed upon in January was the exact
28:48same ceasefire that Hamas had agreed to over 6 months prior. Israel continually sabotaged these negotiations, but if you read any of these mainstream outlets,
28:57you wouldn't know that. on until the very end of these articles. At least the latest reporting on these negotiations continued this trend of misleading
29:04coverage, such as this story from early February. The majority of the article,
29:08headline included, frames Hamas as the instigator to a potential ceasefire failure. However, both independent observers and Israeli officials
29:15themselves acknowledged that it was actually Israel who had already broken the terms of the ceasefire agreement immediately after it was implemented. To anyone with a brain and eyes, this would
29:23be apparent given the evidence we have of these violations. But because these outlets didn't show their readers that and also prioritize the input of party
29:32committing genocide, this citation here is crucial for its readers. They need to see this to understand what's happening.
29:37But the New York Times waited to mention it until nine paragraphs in like basically the end of the article. This is a textbook example of bearing the
29:44lead. Um but it's also goes beyond that into just a lie, right? The entire article is framed in precisely the opposite way of what this confirmed fact
29:53revealed. If the Times weren't running cover for a genocide, the headline of this article would read, "Israel violates ceasefire, confirmed by Israeli
30:00officials." Probably the most insane example of this sort of thing is the following headline once again from the New York Times. Lebanon ceasefire appears to hold despite Israeli strike.
30:11If Israel struck, they violated the ceasefire. The ceasefire did not hold. Israel violated it. It's just absurd.
30:17The genocide is referred to almost exclusively as the Israel Hamas War.
30:21Like the Nazi Holocaust, Israel's genocide in Gaza has been conducted under the pretext of war. But the genocide aspect of which there is again
30:29broad consensus has taken place is omitted from this framing. Every single article that mentions this so-called war should be immediately citing the expert
30:38consensus that it really is not just a war, that it's a genocide. That doesn't happen, though. Trump recently made a number of statements explicitly supporting US assistance to the ethnic
30:47cleansing of Gaza, including land development by US companies. One tool I found helpful to compare these difference in this sort of coverage is
30:54Ground News, who are also the sponsor of today's video. The coverage from right-wing outlets such as Red State frames the comments as explicitly
31:02positive. Trump and Netanyahu unveiling a bold plan for Gaza and peace. On ground news, this outlet has a low factuality tag, which means that they
31:10often omit key details. Some liberal to-left left-leaning outlets like New York Magazine, an outlet with a high factuality label, indicating they
31:17typically rely on well-ressearched reporting, did explicitly call Trump's proposed plan a case of ethnic cleansing. Other left-leaning outlets
31:24centered the extreme nature of his language in the headlines, such as the Intercept with an article titled Trump,
31:30the US will take over the Gaza Strip, or the proposed plan's effect on Palestinians, like Middle East eye, with their article headlined, we'll own it.
31:38Trump wants to make Gaza a holiday hub without Palestinians. Ground News is an app and website lets you compare media coverage across political biases while
31:47calculating each source's reliability so you can see how framing shapes public perception from sources around the world without understanding the different
31:54biases behind the news you read. You might not realize how skewed the narrative is. Unlike other platforms,
31:59Ground News is independent and nonpartisan. So, they have no stake in promoting any agenda, just the facts and how those facts are presented. It's not
32:07always about how a story is spun, but equally important, as we've seen, is the information that other platforms choose to leave out. Liberal outrage over this
32:15story has been almost entirely focused on Trump's comments, but ignores the bigger picture. The fact that it was the Biden administration who made this
32:23ethnic cleansing plan possible by facilitating the total annihilation of Gaza, and that it was the Biden administration that proposed this ethnic
32:30cleansing plan in the first place. And yet, there's only one source that leads with this crucial piece of context.
32:36Ground News made it easy to find the story and have it compared with all the rest. Ground News specifically created their blind spot feed to highlight the stories only picked up by certain
32:44politically slanted outlets so you can see the world as it is, not through the partisan narratives these outlets want you to. These are just a few of the ways that Ground News helps me research
32:52stories, stay informed, and understand the way information is being presented is just as important as the information itself. I highly recommend checking it out. For a limited time, you can get the

33:12Thanks again to Ground News for supporting the channel. Now, let's get back to the video. When Israelis and top Israeli officials participated in the right to rape protests we talked about
33:21earlier, you know, protesting the Israeli right to rape and murder Palestinian hostages. These events were summarized by the New York Times as
33:28unrest. They were framed around the protest's effect on the party that was doing the protest. That is again the right to rape protest and not on the
33:36fact that Israeli guards raped a Palestinian hostage. It was captured on video and that the case was clear-cut enough that they actually called for an
33:43investigation for once unlike 99% of previous cases of the IDF abusing,
33:47raping, torturing, and murdering Palestinians. In this article, the guard's actions against the Palestinian hostage are described vaguely and passively as just abuse. And it is not
33:56revealed until the very end of the article that the abuse took the form of the guards raping the man with an object. The follow-up story on the
34:03prosecution of these soldiers uses this same disgusting framing. Rape with an object is whitewashed in the headline and most of the article as simply just
34:12being abuse. This is yet another case of the framing of false neutrality as this quote unquote divide between the Israeli right and the Israeli left in this
34:20article doesn't actually exist. In reality, all that divide means is that the Israeli right are pro- rape and murder of Palestinian detainees. And the
34:28Israeli left thinks it makes their country look bad. There's no real debate going on here. A personal favorite of mine for its sheer absurdity was an
34:36article from the New York Times called It Can Be Lonely to Have Middle of the Road Opinions on the Middle East, which focused on college students that were
34:44seeking space for nuanced perspectives on the Israel Hamas War. The perspective presented in this article is one-sided.
34:51They talk about extremism in student movements, but the only example they give for this point is that of the extremist Palestinian activists. The New
34:58York Times calls it a war with no reference to the numerous credible allegations of genocide. It's harder to justify having a conversation about
35:06nuanced opinions of genocide. So, they just call it a war. There's no nuance in genocide. There's nothing progressive about genocide. This tendency to falsely
35:14frame a genocide with neutrality will often slip into outright endorsement.
35:18Recall Israel's pager terrorist attack in Lebanon when they detonated over a thousand pagers rigged with explosive
35:28This was a widespread mass terrorist attack that indiscriminately targeted civilians and left hundreds dead and permanently injured and disfigured,
35:36including a number of children.
35:46Among
35:52[music]
36:06those murdered was Fatima Abdullah, a 9-year-old girl. At her funeral, as well as other funerals with large crowds of people, Israel detonated more of these explosives.
36:15[music]
36:20Despite this being a child killing and maming indiscriminate terrorist attack in violation of international law in Western liberal media, it was presented
36:28as a cool James Bond style operation. It was described using words like ambitious, sophisticated, and daring.
36:35The Israeli spy agency Mossad launched one of the most daring and sophisticated deceptions in the history of counter
36:43intelligence. an extraordinary act of espionage, an example of Israel's technological prowess. According to the New York Times, the attack restored the aura of Israel's intelligence agencies.
36:54Before covering the attack, these outlets always, of course, make sure to mention Hezbollah's US designation as a terrorist organization. Don't worry,
37:01guys. They were just terrorists. Nothing to see here. We got the bad guys. They were bad. We were We are good. Mission accomplished. And of course, as we've touched on a couple times, lying by
37:09omission. That's another thing. With every previous example, you see it. The Israeli hostages receive wall-to-wall coverage with no mention of the fact that the majority of the deaths of these
37:17hostages were a product of the Israeli military through air strikes or firing on hostages while they were waving white flags or that on October 7th, Israel
37:26issued the Hannibal directive, killing likely many hundreds of its own civilians as a matter of official policy. One of the really effective propaganda strategies that results from
37:34these lies by omissions comes in the case of genocide allegations. Western outlets rarely if ever actually mention the numerous allegations of genocide
37:42levied against Israel. The few times that they do, they're often brief,
37:45unspecific, and accompanied with equivocation or lengthy citations of Israel's defense against the allegations. When the New York Times covered the Amnesty International
37:54genocide report, the subheading immediately backtracks into running cover for Israel. Israel rejected the charge, the first of its kind by a major
38:01human rights organization, saying it was based on lies. The Times went on to spend more of the article sharing the IDF's defense against the allegations
38:10than any of the findings from the actual report. AMC International gave us 300 pages of facts about genocide. Israel says that they're just lies. I guess we'll never know what happened here.
38:20That's not journalism. That's propaganda. When Human Rights Watch released their report accusing Israel of committing crimes against humanity and genocide through its deliberate
38:27deprivation of access to clean drinking water, readers of the New York Times wouldn't have heard about that because the New York Times just didn't report it. That's one of the top human rights
38:35organizations in the world, accusing the number one ally of the most powerful country in the world of the crime of all crimes. And they just forgot. No, they
38:43didn't forget. The editorial staff at the New York Times knows that they've helped this. They know that they are complicit in this. So, any chance they get to just sort of forget to mention
38:52something as consequential as a genocide allegation from the leading human rights group in the world, they'll do it. Of course, they will. This tracks with the BBC's repeated genocide denial, evident
39:01in repeated instances of reporters condemning or correcting guests for using the word genocide to describe Israel's actions in Gaza.
39:08Israel would deny that a genocide is taking place, saying that it is defending its right to exist, its very existence indeed they would say is under
39:16threat. So there are obviously two sides to this.
39:19This whole issue of right of self-deter selfdefense has allowed Israel to inflict the mass murder and mass
39:26destruction. what the ICG now described as plausible genocide. This is this is not an act of you know what I'm going to have to say. I'm going to say Israel
39:35denies that they say that they were in pursuit of Hamas terrorists who hid behind their own people.
39:41This is a genocide happening in front of our eyes. We have yeah we that word is as you know incredibly emotive and the Israelis as
39:48you know will be saying that they are targeting Hamas only that they don't target civilians the truth unfortunately planned you know military incursions but
39:56it's not the truth civilians are dying civilians are dying and the way that the bombs are getting dropped I don't believe are in a targeted way nothing from what I'm hearing on the ground
40:04suggest that the bombs have been dropped in a targeted way our social media manager all five houses allowing them got blown up they estimate 100 people were killed in
40:13yesterday his house was the last one remaining in the neighborhood. They leveled an entire neighborhood.
40:17Thank you very much. And I do need to make that qualification of course that um that it is always denied by the Israelis that genocide is taking
40:26place. They say these are strategic planned strikes in Gaza and that they are targeting the militant group Hamas.
40:33But I'm here to let the world know that that's not the case.
40:35Kareem, you've been able to have your say. This is what the Israelis will always say in response to that. This effort to whitewash and run cover for
40:43the genocide has been intentional, of course, and we have the proof. It's been confirmed with direct evidence and testimony with internal newsroom memos
40:50from not only the BBC, but the New York Times as well. And the last thing to talk about is just atrocity propaganda.
40:55One of the primary justifications for the genocide in Gaza is that members of Hamas are not just militants, but that they are monsters. Pure evil motivated
41:02by nothing more than the sadistic hatred of Jews. This narrative has been fueled by stories of horrors that supposedly took place on October 7th. Hamas burned babies in ovens.
41:11They burned babies alive. They put children and [clears throat] burned them to death. They cut the breasts off of women.
41:17400 women shot in the genitals, their breast cut off as terrorists played with their bloody breasts like a football.
41:25They cut off the breasts of women and throw them around. They beheaded 40 babies.
41:29I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children.
41:37They behead children. They cut the fetus out of the womb of a pregnant woman.
41:41They committed a campaign of systematized mass rape.
41:44There is no justification for collective rape.
41:47What happened on October 7th was mass systematic planned rape and genital mutilation of women.
41:53All of these claims are false. Complete fabrications. Full stop. No credible evidence has been provided for any of them. Many were shown to be deliberately fabricated. And despite this, they were
42:02spread far and wide and ultimately used as rhetorical justification to continue the genocidal onslaught in Gaza. The first major place this narrative broke
42:10was Screams Without Words, a front page New York Times story in late December of 2023. This story came as Israel's actions in Gaza were starting to receive
42:19widespread condemnation from the international community. The story was thoroughly debunked. the person who wrote it discredited as being a genocidal Zionist with no history of
42:28reporting and self- admitting that the New York Times pushed for this story to come to the public despite the lack of credible evidence. The New York Times podcast, The Daily, sheld the episode
42:36due to a lack of credible evidence. But the New York Times never retracted the story, which is because they had no real pressure to do so. The false narrative
42:44had already prevailed and that narrative was consistent with the status quo of the American Empire for whom they are running cover. In July of last year,
42:51Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated some of these lies in front of Congress. He received a standing ovation. 3 weeks later, the
42:58White House approved a $20 billion military aid package to Israel. They explicitly cited Netanyahu's visit as one of their motivations for doing so.
43:06Atrocity propaganda has consequences.
43:09So, with that context out of the way about the Gaza genocide and its support from the West and within Israel, the broader media system that allowed it to happen, let's now return to Ethan's
43:17video. In the content nuke, you can find just about every type of what we just looked at in terms of manufacturing consent. Ethan spreads atrocity
43:24propaganda. He shares the Hamas mass ray hoax, the same hoax that was used by the Western media, the US government, and the Israeli government to justify a
43:33genocide. He cites the same sources that these parties site when they go on stage to legitimize more military killing machinery shipments to Israel. And
43:40October 7 last year, Hamas committed horrific acts of sexual violence.
43:47Cheryl, I thank you for all your work to bring to light the horrors of this issue and for your film about what happened on October 7.
43:56In his video, Ethan spreads overt misinformation, just straight up lies about Hezbollah and Ansar Allah, or the Houthis, in order to delegitimize their
44:06struggle against Israel's genocide. He cites baseless claims from Saudi state propaganda outlets to attack the Houthis. He also cites a documentary
44:13about Ansar Ala which he uses as proof of the claim that they brought back slavery when the documentary wasn't even about the Houthies. It was about the Yemeni government before the Houthi
44:22takeover. He spreads long debunked Nakba deniialist talking points, talking points that have been used for decades to legitimize Israeli colonization of
44:29Palestine. Ethan cites sources that contradict his own claims directly, such as the UN report he claims proves the Hamas mass rapes allegation. There's a UN report that concludes it happened,
44:39which the report itself denies. He spends 20 minutes in the video smearing a 19-year-old survivor of the USbacked Saudi genocide in Yemen as a terrorist
44:48with zero credible evidence. He makes a number of transparently false anti-semitism accusations like his claim that Israel's ban on new account signups from Israel was anti-semitic.
44:57Around the end of the year, when people started talking about anti-semitism on Twitch, Dan Saltman discovered the Israel ban when he was sent the code proving the block happened. In reality,
45:07the ban also affected millions of non-Jews living in Israel and Palestinians in Palestine. As shown in the evidence he himself cites, the IP
45:16ban went into effect in both. Like all these Western liberal outlets, Ethan just takes the State Department line of thinking when it comes to terrorism,
45:23which his video is ostensibly a crusade against. By his own definition of terrorism, both the US and Israel are the largest terrorist organizations in
45:31the world. given their history of killing millions of innocent civilians across the globe. His focus is not on them though, rather the groups that they consider to be terrorists, aka, you
45:39know, the bad guys. He actually uses those exact words. He says it's they're the bad guys.
45:43They are a designated terrorist group by the US, by the EU. These guys are clearly the bad guys.
45:48The entire video is kind of a lie by omission simply because of everything we just went over. How none of it is a factor. how none of the people viewing the video that are unfamiliar with
45:57what's happening would ever come away with his video knowing the full picture,
46:01knowing some of the very valid reasons why someone like Hassan might be critical of Israeli atrocity propaganda or might support groups like the
46:08Houthies for their heroic actions in the Red Sea against a genocidal regime. The biggest issue, I think, is that Ethan manages to do all of this while still
46:17calling himself a stalwart ally to the Palestinians. and I've been a stalwart supporter of the Palestinian cause for many years.
46:25This is what makes liberal Zionism so insidious. He is using humanistic appeals to things like peace and safety,
46:31but doing so in a way that distracts from the actual source of the problem.
46:35The problem is Zionism and the genocidal Israeli state. That is what's causing these problems. And people that might otherwise be able to understand if
46:43presented with the facts of the situation are simply led astray by people like Ethan. Where a more right-wing Zionist might put off the average liberal with extremist claims
46:51and overtly genocidal language. A liberal Zionist draws you in with the facade of empathy. He wants to appear empathetic as if he cares for these
47:00people as if he doesn't ascribe to a genocidal ideology. So in order to do that, he has to lie and roping in otherwise progressive people into a
47:09death cult. Aside from this video being a nonsensical genocidal propaganda piece, it's also entirely unoriginal.
47:15The video is a culmination of a monthslong campaign against Hassan and all these other creators and Twitch the company to smear them as terrorists and anti-semmites and get people, you know,
47:24in trouble. The campaign began as a response to the suspension of the live streamer Asmin Gold. Asmin Gold made some comments that explicitly justified
47:32Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
47:34I'm not going to cry a [ __ ] river when people who have genocide that's baked into their laws are getting genocided. They come from an inferior
47:42culture. I don't feel bad for them. I don't feel sorry for them. I don't care.
47:46I don't support them. Following his suspension for these comments, a community of large content creators, most notably the live streamer Destiny,
47:53along with his fan base, rushed to Asmin Gold's defense, whitewashing and justifying his comments.
47:58Meanwhile, Asmin Gold gets a 15-day ban for having a spicy take on the war.
48:02You have someone like Asmin Gold, who breathes the wrong direction, says the wrong thing, and instantly gets banned. In this situation, one could, you know,
48:10if they were to extend the charitability, could say that Aspen Gold was probably referring to extremists in
48:17the Islamic religion. Extreists in the Islamic religion. The case of Asmin Gold suspension from Twitch was then weaponized against these uh pro
48:26Palestine voices, most notably Hassan in an effort to get him deplatformed. To do this, they compiled a number of short clips taken from Hassan's live streams,
48:34using them to accuse Hassan of things like supporting and promoting terrorism,
48:38allegedly denying October 7th sexual violence, and making anti-semitic statements. Each one of the clips and their associated accusations can be
48:46traced back to prominent posts on Destiny's subreddit. Uh, some of the clips were sourced from videos that criticized Assan from well over a year
48:53ago. These clips were initially hosted on a website created by a member of the campaign called Hamaspiker.com. Soon after, another website was created,
49:01danclansancy sucks.com, a reference to uh the CEO of Twitch, Dan Clansancy.
49:06Another goal of this campaign was to get him fired from the company. This site also hosts all of these clips with their associated allegations, anti-semitism,
49:15terrorist promotion, and rape denial.
49:17Eventually, several major YouTubers in the usually apolitical commentary sphere made videos that signal boosted these allegations to millions of viewers. Most of these videos used the same clips,
49:27many of them directly citing this smear campaign's website.
49:30Now, there's a website known as danclansancy sucks.com,
49:33or there's also a website that's been created called danclansancy sucks.com that goes over it all. Another website, Advertise on Twitch,
49:39shows a collection of ads playing before the dishonestly framed clips we've looked at, and the contact information of the companies is provided. It
49:46autoloads a preset email with just one click, allowing participants in the campaign to mass spam these companies with the related smears. There were
49:55several motivations behind this campaign. Um, you know, there were direct material incentives. On YouTube for the past few years, there's a big
50:02industry that's exploded in popularity and it's based on a simple concept.
50:06Hassan bad. Hassan [ __ ] is bad and he's dumb and bad in a terrorist. Probably we can call this the Hassanabi dunk video
50:13industrial complex. It's common for YouTubers during low view months to join in on the fun and make these types of videos taking short clips from Hassan's
50:21thousands of hours of live streaming to misrepresent what he's saying. usually pariting the exact same talking points they're getting from the same YouTubers in the same community. They're watching
50:29each other's videos and making each other's videos. It's kind of like a perpetual cycle of dumb guy slop. It's interesting to see YouTubers that
50:36typically cover Tik Tok drama and gaming content randomly giving their opinions on genocide and geopolitics, but that's the result of such an ecosystem. It's
50:45not about the politics. It's about making money by attacking a guy they don't like. Because the guy in question happens to be a political content creator. they have to try to do politics. It's really funny to watch.
50:55Honestly, it's also wild because the political content creator in question is an anti- genocide content creator and the arguments they're attacking him for
51:02are anti-genocide arguments. So, these creators, you know, they're positioning themselves uh in opposition to him and his arguments. Deacto positioning themselves on the pro- genocide side.
51:12You know, anti- anti-genocide is progenocide. It's quite the precarious predicament they've placed themselves in. Do they realize it? No. Do they
51:19care? Probably not. But that's what's happening. Yeah, that's what that's what they're doing. The success of Ethan's video, which garnered over 3 million views in its first month, is a testament
51:28to the algorithmic viability of Hassan bad content. Get in front of a politically illiterate American audience and call a pro Palestine influencer a
51:37terrorist. Promoting hateful terrorist music videos,
51:40terrorist propaganda videos, terrorist propaganda video,
51:43collect big fat AdSense check. That's how it goes. And Ethan knew it would do well, too, and made sure to get a sponsor for the video. Thank you to ExpressVPN for sponsoring this video,
51:53which was a VPN company that happens to be owned by an Israeli billionaire with a history of funding and supporting the IDF. He's not a Zionist, though,
52:01apparently. Apparently, he's not a Zionist and he's pro Palestine.
52:04And I've been a stalwart supporter of the Palestinian cause for many years.
52:08A few years ago, Destiny was banned from Twitch. Since then, he has repeatedly attempted to be reinstated on the platform. and the latest attempt by
52:16using the campaign was probably the closest she's ever been in terms of putting pressure on the platform.
52:20We're tired of your site changing [clears throat] the rules every week.
52:24Nobody knows what's going on. Get your [ __ ] together, unban Destiny, and [ __ ] make a site that people actually want to go to.
52:31Dedicated the last like two weeks of my life basically to Steve's cause. You're talking about the Twitch thing? Yeah, destroying Twitch.
52:38Some of the motivations for the campaign are political in nature though,
52:41obviously. You know, Hassan [ __ ] is one of the most prominent pro Palestine voices on YouTube, and this campaign has been orchestrated by Zionists. The website that started this campaign,
52:49hamaspiker.com, doubled as a donation page for a prominent Zionist organization. Since learning about the existence of Israel on October 7th of
52:572023, Destiny has positioned himself as its number one cheerleader, showing up to debates to defend the genocidal apartheid state using Zionist talking
53:05points and denying that a genocide is taking place. On the Lex Freriedman Israel Palestine debate, Destiny justified Israel's slaughter of four
53:13Palestinian children in the Gaza beach bombings using talking points plucked directly from IDF spokespeople.
53:20Those kids weren't just on the beach as often stated in articles. Those kids were literally coming out of a previously identified Hamas compound that they had operated from. They
53:27literally could with all due respect, you're such a fantastic [ __ ] It's terrifying. I left
53:36Finkelstein's iconic response in there because he is 100% correct. The events of that day were witnessed by dozens of journalists. There is no real dispute as
53:45to what happened except from of course the party that slaughtered the children which is Israel and in turn its propagandists like Destiny.
53:53A group of boys, cousins playing on the beach now were running for their lives until seconds later another shell hit.
54:04Israel claimed it was firing on Hamas militants at the port, but the dead were four young boys.
54:12He's also explicitly called for the genocide of Palestinians.
54:15Honestly, uh I'm pro genocide. Like it it sounds really shitty, but like I think that Israel should just draw its [ __ ] borders about where it is is now
54:22and basically Palestinians can go live in another place. That's that's really shitty, but like that's about [laughter]
54:29where I'm at. It's this guy and his community who are the source for every one of the arguments that Ethan makes in his video. Do stalwart advocates for
54:37Palestinians normally collaborate with advocates for Palestinian genocide? No. No, they do not. In my opinion,
54:44Destiny's podcast co-host Dan Saltman,
54:47uh, the other main driver behind this campaign and the one spearheading the creation of these smear websites, is also a Zionist. Saltman promoted
54:55pro-Israel organizations like the ADL and stopped anti-semitism and Zionist politicians like Richie Torres who shared and boosted the campaign. He
55:03consistently weaponizes Zionist talking points like asserting that any reference to Zionism is actually just coded anti-semitic language. The implication
55:12there being of course that criticizing Israel and Zionism is inherently anti-semitic. That's a very common Zionist tactic. It's like the Zionist
55:20tactic in the West at least. Perhaps the most significant motivation though and indicative of the sort of unserious nature of this campaign is just spite.
55:28These people all seem to have deep personal vendettas against Hassan and these other creators that should give one pause when considering the
55:36seriousness of the campaign that they're running. God, he's so cringe. He's like such a cringe loser. I would pay so we'd
55:44raise a million dollars to send this dude to go fight in Yemen and then all of us would volunteer for the Navy. Holy [ __ ] be such a cringe. Destiny has for
55:52almost 5 years just obsessively talked about Hassan on his channel. He's made video after video about him. Uh the frequency of these videos increased
56:01after Destiny was banned from Twitch. In the span of time since then, he has uploaded almost 80 videos about Hassan out of a total of like 450 videos. So
56:10that's at least 1/5if of his working life spent talking about Hassan. In contrast, in the same span of time, Hassan has uploaded over 1,200 videos,
56:18and he's talked about Destiny a total of five times. Five. Four of them have come in the last few months while covering Destiny's role in this smear campaign
56:27and the credible allegations of sex crimes against him. So, that's less than 1% of his coverage. This isn't an internet beef. Hassan has a stalker.
56:34With Ethan, I feel like I can kind of spot the moment that he started going into this direction, which was the moment that people started calling him
56:41racist for saying racist stuff. It was one argument he made where he compared uh Jewish voice for peace anti-Zionist activists to capos.
56:50There there was Jewish collaborators with [ __ ] Nazis.
56:53Don't do that. Please don't say that the Jews voice for peace are akin to capos.
56:57Like that's I'm telling you that the mere existence of Jewish voices doesn't is not is not a
57:05leg to stand on. I don't understand that.
57:07The chat started calling him a Zionist freak because that's a Zionist freak thing to say. And then since then he's sort of constructed an entire mind
57:14prison around the idea that he's not racist and anyone calling him racist is actually the real racists. Because Hassan's community is politically
57:21oriented and is able to spot the racist rhetoric in question that means they're all extremists and Hassan is leading them. So he's an extremist and that
57:30Hassan and them are all the problem that he's a perfect angel which is the direction he's taken. It seems like my only crime is wanting a two-state
57:37solution instead of one and thinking it's not okay to kill Israeli civilians.
57:43That's it. That's why they're calling me a Nazi Zionist. And now he's just totally gone off the rails. He spends most of his time cowering in fear behind
57:50Instagram stories that people can't respond to. Every single one of the uploads on his personal YouTube channel in the last number of months have been
57:57targeted towards Hassan. He spent most of his live podcast talking about Hassan and calling him a terrorist and whatnot.
58:03What is this, bro? I have not I think I I have not seen a single one of his [ __ ] Instagram stories. I didn't know
58:10he was posting about me this much. Oh my god. Every day. Every single day.
58:20You're No. There was that one Instagram story where Ethan Klein was uh having to evacuate due to the wildfires or
58:27something and he managed to make the post about Hassan and about how Hassan probably thinks it's awesome that his house might burn down while his, you
58:36know, family is in the background trying to evacuate the wildfires. Just wild.
58:40Ethan Klein has repeatedly denied any association with uh this campaign and Destiny or his community. That may have something to do with the recent credible
58:48allegations that Destiny is a sex criminal, but this is false. Ethan has been caught on his live podcast browsing the Destiny subreddit for arguments to
58:56use to attack Hassan. Leaked Discord logs show Dan Saltman admitting to exchanging emails with Ethan and the H3 team personally during the campaign. And
59:04even if there wasn't evidence of direct communication, you know, the far more important connection is that Ethan is saying the exact same things using the
59:12same outofc context clips that everyone else used to call Hassan a terrorist or whatever. It's been a group effort.
59:17That's just what it is. So, just a few final thoughts here. Um, Zionism is Nazism. It's an ethnic supremacist expansionist colonial ideology. You
59:26can't have Zionism without genocide and ethnic cleansing. That's the end goal of the project. It's what it is.
59:31Palestinians are there and for the Zionist project to be complete, they have to go starve them out, bomb them, destroy everything they need to live.
59:37Those are the methods. Those are what they're employing as we speak. And like Nazis, Zionism cannot be defeated through reform or debate. It must be
59:45destroyed from the outside through efforts made by the Palestinian people,
59:49the Palestinian resistance, and coalitions of allies. As history has shown, the downfall of these kinds of racist ideologies is possible. But
59:57Zionists cannot be a part of this process. They're Zionists. They uphold Zionism by spreading Zionist propaganda and spending all their time and effort
1:00:05attacking anti-ionists even as those anti-ionists are actively fighting against a genocide uh that Zionism is
1:00:12the ideological pretext for. In the case of liberal Zionists like Ethan Klein using his weird personal Zionist crash out as a jumping off point to educate
1:00:20people about the ideology that he adheres to is a great use of time I think and Bad Empanada has done a fantastic job with that. his videos have reached pretty wide audiences and
1:00:29exposed them to uh the reality and history of the genocidal Zionist project. That's a really good thing.
1:00:35That's a really important thing that he's doing and I think many [clears throat] of you can probably also help out with that. Most of you have smartphones and cameras and Tik Tok. So
1:00:42go ahead, start posting about it. Spread the word. Aside from being a morally good thing to do, it's also becoming sustainable. You know, it's
1:00:49algorithmically viable. The Ethan Klein crash out industrial complex is booming.
1:00:54uh and we can harness it as a propaganda machine to expose Zionism for the genocidal ideology that it is. You may have the feeling, as I often have, that
1:01:02the history books will look back upon these times and those who supported the Gaza genocide with shame and horror. Um
1:01:09the only problem with that is that these people feel no shame. They're here to make money and to convince themselves that they aren't evil. And the way they
1:01:17do that is by lying, by spreading liberal Zionist propaganda. It's profitable and it's easy and it's acceptable. You're allowed to say that you think all Palestinians should die.
1:01:27I'm pro genocide.
1:01:28And still get invited to Jubilee as the resident liberal. You're allowed to do it and and run your quirky, epic, silly podcast and make hundreds of thousands
1:01:37of dollars doing that because the Western media ecosystem encourages it.
1:01:41There will be no justice for the Palestinian people if all we do is watch content about what's happening.
1:01:46Consumption is not politics. There will be no justice for the victims of this genocide unless we all actively fight for it. From the position that most of the viewers of this video have. That's
1:01:55by using the resources and time to continue to speak out. Preserve the record of what's actually happened in Gaza. Name the perpetrators and
1:02:03highlight and boost the voices that understand these facts more than anyone in the world. That is the Palestinian people. Don't stop sharing their stories
1:02:10or contributing to direct aid. Uh I'll leave a document below with some Palestinian voices and outlets that you should follow and campaigns to
1:02:17contribute to. In If I Must Die, Rafat Eler tells the story of Yaser Ashure, a young Palestinian survivor of operation
1:02:24castled, Israel's late 2008 onslaught in Gaza. During CASLE, Israel bombed a UN school, which was also designated a safe
1:02:32zone, killing 44 civilians. Ashure was 14 at the time of the attack, and Israel killed five of his classmates and friends. Ever since the massacre, Ashure
1:02:40has tried to honor the memories of his classmates by exposing Israeli crimes. I run a few Twitter accounts with tens of thousands of followers. He said, "The
1:02:48battle for justice for Palestine over social media is crucial, and we have to win it. We don't have Israel's billions,
1:02:54but we have the power of the truth." And that's what we have. We have the truth.
1:02:58October 7th blew the lid off the genocidal Israeli project. October 7th is the reason you're here watching this
1:03:05video today. Israel's response to it has radicalized a generation of people by exposing the Israeli state and its backers in the West for what they are.
1:03:13Depraved ethnic supremacist genocidal lunatics. That's the truth. We have all these tools to speak the truth and now's the time to do that. So just do it. I
1:03:22don't know. Uh don't stop fighting for it. Free ball sign.
