Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, the war in Gaza has incensed communities across the world. Many Jewish people say that they don't feel safe on the streets of Western cities. Many Muslims feel the horror facing innocent Palestinians is treated only as a second-class concern. As with any emotive cause, a lot of people would know dog in the fight have molded of this crisis into a familiar battle of good versus evil, oppressors versus oppressed. Asterical scenes of some of America's top universities this week
Starting point is 00:00:23 have generated more coverage and commentary than the war itself in the last two weeks. Colombia says that all in-person classes are now cancelled until the end of a semester. Arrests have been made at encampments outside NYU and Yale. One notable Jewish professor at Columbia shared a video of Muslims praying as if it was a shocking assault on US values. Many badly informed pro-Palestine demonstrators, meanwhile, have called for an interfaider and chanted, We Love Hamas.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Others believe a synchronised dancing is a long-lost secret to peace in the Middle East. Well, these people are all spending $80,000 a year on tuition. But clearly many of them haven't found Wikipedia and this virtue signaling fever is now embolding a growing number of people to confront public figures. There's simply no connection to the wall. This was New York Mayor Eric Adams, berated the supporting genocide
Starting point is 00:01:08 as he took his seat on a flight. Say you Eric Adams? Yeah, fuck you! You support the genocide and pasta. They're homeless people all over New York. You're always partying. You really actually care about the citizens of New York. People cannot afford food. You keep cutting the education budget so you can find the police.
Starting point is 00:01:32 And this so-called performance artist has dominated timelines for days after achieving what previously seemed impossible and outpouring a public sympathy for Alec Baldwin by doing this. You put innocent people in jail, Alec Baldwin. Free Palestine, Alec, just one time. And I'll leave you alone. I'll leave you alone. I swear.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Just say free Palestine one time. One time. One time. One time. One time, Alex. You know he's a criminal. You know he's a criminal. Come on, Alec. Just say, free Palestine one time. B'u Kyi Israel. Zionism. Please say it. One time. So does any of this make a difference? Obviously, demonstrators forcing the rich and powerful to confront and condemn the horrors of war, or is it a wave of self-indulgent protest, just distracting us from a deadly serious realities of a grim, on. ongoing war. In a moment, I'll debate all that with Hassan Piker, Emily Austin, Esther Cracker and
Starting point is 00:02:32 James Barber. First I'm joined by Alec Baldwin's antagonist there, who calls herself a crackhead Barney. Well, welcome to uncensored. I wore my... Not particularly, no. Do you want to sit down? At the Buckingham Palace, I would like to meet the Queen. Well, I'd really like to meet the Queen. I don't think... Well, the Queen, if you mean Queen Camilla, she's probably tied up with Royal Engagements at the moment. If you meant the Queen who died...
Starting point is 00:03:08 Get me in Pierce. Get me fucking in Pierce. I want it. Okay. Can I take you back, if I may, to what you did to Alec Baldwin. Can you explain why you did it? What did I do to Alec Bullock? Pierce did it to me?
Starting point is 00:03:24 Do you see the damage? Look at my arms. Monday. You're telling me what I... No, you weren't maimed by Alec Baldwin on Monday, were you? No, you weren't. My hand is broken. My neck is broken.
Starting point is 00:03:45 No, it's not. My legs. My legs don't want. Pierce. Princess Tijuana! Not the wig. Your wig's come off. It's not a wig, Pierce. It's my hair.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I'm a white woman. I identify as a white woman. Let me ask you seriously, if I may for a moment. Because you're trying to make a serious point, I presume, with Alec Baldwin. He was getting a coffee. You run in. You call him a killer. I was getting a coffee, too.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Okay. But you decided to... I was getting a coffee too. You don't have to shout at me as well. We can have a civilized conversation. I want to know... I wanted to know seriously why you did what you did and what you hoped to gain by it. Pierce fucking Morgan.
Starting point is 00:04:45 You're asking too many questions. Just for the record, my name is actually just Pierce Morgan. What's wrong with saying free Palestine? Pierce, can you say free Palestine for me? I think. Can you say free Palestine for me? If you stop shouting, yeah. I want you to say it.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Yes, I'm happy to say. Okay. I'm not going to show. If you just... Mr. Pierce Morgan, please keep quiet. I can answer your question. Yes, I'm very happy to say that... I'm never quiet, Pierce.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Sorry, you're still talking. I'm never quiet. Okay, but try. I'm never quiet, Pierce. I cannot shut up. You ask me to do something. If you don't shut up, I can't give you the answer. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Okay, yeah. Okay, I'll shut up for you. I absolutely believe that Palestine should be free. Yes. Oh, okay. And how are we going to do that, Pierce? Give us the answers, Pierce Morgan. Give us the fucking answers.
Starting point is 00:05:32 How are we going to make Palestine free? Yeah, if it was a simple... I'm going to do it. If it was as simple as me just giving a simple answer now, it would have been done by now. It's a very complicated issue. But let me ask you again. Why? Let me ask you again, seriously.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Why did you do what you did to Alec Baldwin? And what did you hope to achieve? Alec Baldwin, look at me. Pierce, honestly. Pierce, look at my mind by a white man. Listen, I understand. I understand you're a performative artist. I understand you're trying to make everybody laugh.
Starting point is 00:06:07 You've made. You've made your joke about your terrible main name. It'll be a satellite. You're lashing me. Right. Okay. I'm not lashing you. This is the third white man to beat me this week.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Third white man. Yesterday, my white boyfriend beat the shit out of me. This is the third white man. Monday was Alec. The second day was another white man. Third day, Pierce Borgon is beating me up on international team. Oh my God. Pierce, you're hurting me.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Pierce, you're really hurting me right now. You see, here's my problem. Here's my problem with your performative art crackhead is I don't see what, I don't see what good you're doing the cause of Palestine. All you're doing is turning the whole war into a joke. You're really hurting me. This war is not a joke. Why are you making it such a mockery? Explain to me.
Starting point is 00:07:01 How? Because you're making it all about, you're making it all about you and your silly pranks and you're trying to have fun. And actually behind all this is a very serious war going on. All right. Are you going to explain, are you going to explain why you did what you did to Ali Bourbon or not? Okay. You know, you see, the trouble with this, the trouble with this performative art is it's not funny. You've got one gag that you've been maimed by Ali Baldwin, which you haven't.
Starting point is 00:07:54 What you haven't explained to the audience, and I've given you the chance repeatedly, is why you do what you did and why you think what you're doing now does anything but, make a mockery of all these people dying in Gaza. Because that's what you're doing. Pierce, you're trying to spin this into some bullshit. I know exactly what you're doing, Pierce. No, no, you are. You are fucking annoying.
Starting point is 00:08:18 You eat tea and crumpets. You have your pinky in the fucking air. You salute the queen. Fuck the crown. Fuck Buckingham Pals. Now I'm getting angry. Because Pierce does what you do. Oh, now you're getting angry.
Starting point is 00:08:27 You set people up for shit. Now you're getting angry. Yeah, you set people up for shit. I know exactly what you do, Pierce. I know exactly because I do it too, Pierce. Yeah. And I have a fucking audience. You think you could set me up, Pierce, to be, listen, Pierce.
Starting point is 00:08:39 You know what I think. I think you're, frankly, I think honestly, crackhead, you are honestly pathetic. This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever had to endure. And you're calling me a crackhead. In the long, illustrious history of unscensing. That's your name. That's your name on your Twitter feed. You call your safe yourself crackhead.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Pierce, am I a bigger bitch than Megan Markle? I'm going to give you a final chance. Are you going to actually answer the question of why you did what you did to add in ballroom? Pierce, Pierce, I have a question. Am I a bigger bitch than Megan Markle? Because, you know, Buckingham House was complaining about the black girl, and I want to be that black girl. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I want to be that black girl. You know what, Crackhead? I try to give you a hearing. You're not going to take it seriously. I actually think you're doing. You didn't try anything. You may want to shout. Yeah, you may want to shout and scream Ali Baldwin.
Starting point is 00:09:37 All right. I think we've heard enough of crackhead, to be honest with you. All right, let's bring in my panel. Streamer, Hassan Piker, journalist Emily Austin, unscensored contributor, Esther Cracko, and podcast of James Bar. Well, Emily, I mean, on one level, I guess it was quite funny. But on another level, I didn't like what she did to Ali Baldwin. I've got no truck for Alec Baldwin whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And I think with this case that he's got hanging over him, I hope that justice is served. because ultimately he did fire the gun that killed that poor woman and has been on some kind of weird PR tour ever since. But I don't like to see any public figure, whether it's Eric Adams, the mayor, on a plane, or Alec Baldwin getting a coffee, harangued and harassed in that manner.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Now, I tried to conduct a serious interview. She obviously wasn't interested in doing that, wanted to turn the whole thing into a foul-mouth rant and joke and performative thing. Fine, that's entirely her right to do it. But what did you think of these... harassings, not just by her, but by other people, of public figures. You tried to conduct a serious interview with Crackhead Barbie?
Starting point is 00:10:46 Well, no, I was asking her about a viral video of her harassing Alibaldman, which I do actually think is a serious thing. I do actually think public figures should not be harassed in that manner. I've had a bit of it myself, and I think it crosses a line, right? And Ali Baldwin, you know, as far as I'm aware, has not said anything particularly sensational about the war at all. So why she is harassing him in the street in the way that she did, I think is worthy of examination.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Now, as it turned out, she had no interest in having a serious conversation. Okay, so we've cut it off. But I don't think I should be blamed for getting on someone who is literally at the center of a quite big news story in America for harassing a famous star. You? It was for clout. She was doing it for clout.
Starting point is 00:11:30 That's why she went on the show also for cloud, which you were correct on pointing out that using the ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza and what's happening to the Palestinian people as a vehicle to create more social clout for yourself, social capital for yourself, is pretty disingenuous, pretty messed up.
Starting point is 00:11:49 I have to jump in there, though, because isn't that what everybody's doing? Isn't that what the show is also doing? Because you're talking about it's create political clout to create noise, to get clicks, to make money. Listen, let's not all be disingenuous, right? The whole conversation, and actually crackhead, Bonnie, Isn't that different to you? And Crack Cabani said it herself.
Starting point is 00:12:08 She said, we're no different. And I kind of agree with Crackab Barney. I didn't think I'd say it. If you think there's any correlation between what she just did on the show. That someone's screaming over someone and not letting them speak. There's definitely a correlation there.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Well, you think that I've treated you like she treated that in all with. No, I'm just saying that I think that actually you aren't that different. You're trying to do the same thing. I'm just doing it in a different way. It's a preposterous suggestion. I do not do what she does, right?
Starting point is 00:12:30 But Hassan, here's the point of a mate to you. A lot of people think a lot of these protesters universities in America are performative, the ones who are chanting their support for Hamas, the ones who are chanting about Intifada and pretending it's not about a violent uprising. I mean, do you accept that a lot of that is not only performative, but public demonstration of support for terrorism?
Starting point is 00:12:54 Absolutely not. I don't think that... I mean, all protests are technically performative, obviously, but there's a very clear-cut goal for the group of students at Colombia and many other universities. I was in Melbourne not that long ago, and I attended a Palestinian protest there, Palestinian rally there, and the students there were also demanding the exact same thing, that they divest, their colleges divest from a lot of the companies that are aligned with the state of Israel,
Starting point is 00:13:22 a lot of the companies that are directly involved in operations in the West Bank, a lot of the companies that are playing a role in the regular maintenance of the apartheid regime of Israel and helping Israel conduct an ethnic cleansing campaign. That is the ultimate goal. That is why they're trying to very clearly cause a little bit of a disruption and engage in
Starting point is 00:13:45 thankfully... But are you comfortable? Okay, but are you comfortable, Sam? Are you comfortable with the ones who have seen chanting support for Hamas or chanting about intifada? I am perfectly comfortable with people chanting about the intifada. As far as Hamas thing goes,
Starting point is 00:14:03 any kind of protest, is always going to have a litany of random people, but ultimately it doesn't really matter. You have to look at the actual tangible goals that the protest movement is stating they're interested in. And I think that those goals, and I think you will agree with me on this beers, I think those goals are pretty valid overall.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I think that they want to, one, recenter the attention to the genocide that is ongoing in Gaza, and two, demand that their tuition dollars do not go to, operations in Israel. I don't know if you're aware of this, but there's a campus. There's going to be a sister campus that is being built in Tel Aviv right now for Columbia University. This means that Columbia University, which once housed the likes of the late great Edward Said and many others,
Starting point is 00:14:54 that currently has many Palestinian students who pay tuition for projects such as this one, will not be able to go to that sister campus. I find that abhorrent, but it's everyday existence in Israel. Let me bring in, Emily. You've been listening to all this. Your response. With all due respect, Hassan, why do you feel that Columbia or any college, for that matter, owes you to divest from Israel?
Starting point is 00:15:21 Why do you think your opinion is correct? Because so far, I heard the classic buzzwords, apartheid, discriminatory, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, which is funny because it's all the exact opposite. So if I may ask you, what about Israel is apartheid? You also just said the students in Israel, the canvas in Israel would not allow Palestinians to join. Are you confused or do you know nothing about the country of Israel? Because let me remind you, Jews are not allowed in the West Bank and Gaza.
Starting point is 00:15:49 However, Arabs have full Israeli citizenship, have the rights, are members of the Knesset, which is the equivalent of, you can think of Congress, and even prosecuted a former Prime Minister, Ahud Omer, an Arab judge. So what apartheid exactly are you speaking about? What genocide? What ethnic cleansing? And secondly, how dare you? As how dare you say it's okay to talk about an intifada? Let me remind you, the intifada last time it happened in Israel,
Starting point is 00:16:16 consisted of thousands of people dying in bus bombing. So are you saying that you support terrorism and killing innocent people? Well, intifada simply just means revolution. And I'm an American. And in 1776, violent, violence. It was pretty fucking good. Yeah. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:16:36 The American, do you think the American Revolution of the tickle party? Of course not. We also bombed Hiroshima. Don't, don't. Yeah, I know. And that was also unjust and unimaginably cruel. But of course, the Israel defender is also defending, when it fits your narrative, civilians and killing them by the hundreds of thousands.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Now listen, listen, let's get back. Let's get back. But when it goes against it, it's unjust. To what? Let's refocus the conversations of the points that you made. Okay. Just to remind everybody, I'm actually moderating this, but that's an interesting point that Emily just raised Hassan. It does seem that you're very selective about the violence that you
Starting point is 00:17:11 support, that when you support it is justified, when other people use things in a violent way that you don't support, it's unjustified. Seems like it's all skewed to what Hassan Pikeer thinks. Well, not necessarily just what I think. I think that there are obvious markers, obvious boundaries. I don't think violence against civilians is justified. I have talked about October 6th. on this very same show, saying that it was a tragedy, it was atrocities that occurred on October 7, specifically. When you target civilians in any capacity, I think that that is unacceptable.
Starting point is 00:17:44 However, this does not mean that violence will not occur in many circumstances. Violence has occurred in every single revolutionary action, many good revolutionary actions. Obviously, America bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki with an atom bomb. That was not a very good moment for first. Was what Hamashton arms over the first? anybody. It was not a very good moment for human civilization at all. Was what Hamas did in October the 7th?
Starting point is 00:18:07 Was what Hamas did in October the 7th an example of what you would call a justified revolution? I don't look at every single act of violence. I look at the players. You've literally just been reciting a whole lot of them. Why are you analyzing it? Why are you avoiding October the 7th? You do it too.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I'm not avoiding it. I've talked about it a billion times. Well, let me ask you what. This is not where we're going to discuss. Hang on. Hassan, let me just ask you, very specifically, one more time. Let me ask you one more time.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Do you believe what happened on October the 7th was a justified act of revolution? Yes or no? I do not. And I do think that, oh, wait, hold on. Let me clarify. Let me clarify. Something very important here.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Events that unfolded on October 7 were atrocities. That much is clear. Those atrocities could have been avoided if Israel was not an apartheid regime. Israel has been an apartheid regime. for 75 years. In the early- You keep repeating that.
Starting point is 00:19:08 No, you can't just chime in. You can't just chime in. You can't just chime. You ask me a question. You want to, you ask me a question. I'm going to give you an answer. Because you're repeating these lies. Israel has been an apartheid regime since its inception.
Starting point is 00:19:19 How so? Until, until 1967, Israel was an apartheid regime for the Palestinian citizens of Israel, the Arabs, as you called them. There was a two-tier criminal justice system. They were subjected to the military court processes and not the civil court processes. Until 1967,
Starting point is 00:19:35 After 1967, they got citizenship. There are obviously still many different social issues that pertain to the Palestinian citizens of Israel, the Arabs that are living in Israel, those who are not Jewish, of course. However, Israel currently is occupying the West Bank. There are more than 2 million Palestinians that live in the West Bank.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Israel is illegally occupying the West Bank. There are checkpoints. There are license plates that restrict Palestinian travel. the Israeli operations in the West Bank have destroyed Palestinian statehood. Now, of course, all of this is readily available for those who want to learn about it, yourself included. I hope you look it up.
Starting point is 00:20:15 But Selham is an Israeli human rights organization which declared Israel to be an apartheid regime in 2021 of the April of 2021. Amnesty International declared Israel to be an apartheid regime. Let me, okay, before I move... Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. I just want to bring in our two British panelists here,
Starting point is 00:20:32 But just finally, just to clarify, I can't quite work out whether you said you do think October the 7th was an unjustified act of revolution or whether you change your mind. So can you clarify? I think that violent means of maintaining an apartheid is inevitably going to yield violent retaliation. This is something that is completely avoidable. Was it justified? Civilian deaths are never justified. Hang on, Emily, you look, Hirsch Goldberg, Poland's mother in the eyes. No, you look this person's mother in the eyes and you tell him that this was justified.
Starting point is 00:21:14 You tell him his arm being blown off and being held in captivity for 200 days. I do. I do love that the Israel defender has no capacity to fucking hear anything I'm saying. What are you talking about? It's just, if you're not going to respect me and listen to what I have to say, which by the way, of course you don't respect. If you talk over each other, nobody can hear it. What do you mean I think? It's not I think. It's the entire world. No, it is you think.
Starting point is 00:21:40 It's the entire world. Emily, please. Let me handle this, Emily, let me handle this, Emily. Howson, just before I come to the two people who are with me here, I just need some clarity here because it seems like you're dancing around whether you think October the 7 was justified or not. Why are we doing this? Why are we doing this back and forth masturbation? I've already given you my fucking position. I'm sick and tired of repeating it over and over again. Because it's just, it's okay. Emily, stop next to me.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Emily, come back to you. Only one is Jews, it's okay. Please stop shouting at a human next to me, wearing an idea of dog tag if she actually thinks Israel's actions are justifiable. Do you see me? It's to bring the hostages home. The hostages that do right. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:19 It doesn't matter. You know what it is. I'm going to give you two. I'm going to let you two calm down. We cannot hear you when you talk over each other. Every time recently I have someone from both sides on, like it goes like this. It goes like this. I'm wearing this rusty necklace.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Please, can you listen to me, Emily? Yeah, yeah. Can you stop doing this to each other, please? Nobody can understand a word either of your saying. And let me come to Esther and James here. This is one of my problems, actually. No, I wouldn't hear if Emily condemns the actual Israel. Why don't you ask you about that?
Starting point is 00:22:51 What do you ask you about 30,000 people? I've got two pounds here. I've not had a word yet. Exactly. Because you're a fucking terrorist. Let me stop talking. And I think you're a terrorist. And I think you're a terrorist.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Okay, well, I'm not the one wearing... Because until the hostages are home, don't expect the war to be over. Yeah, I know. Bring them home. I love what you're condemning me. You would be screaming at Benjamin Netanyahu. Benjamin Netanyahu is the hostage killer.
Starting point is 00:23:18 You are exposing, you know, Benjamin Netanyahu has killed more hostages than Hamas. What do you think you're achieving here? Not only oppressing the Palestinian people, but for spreading terrorism. I don't see your outrage at Hamas. Israel gave Gaza back in 2005. I would like to please.
Starting point is 00:23:33 And Hamas has turned us into a terrorist haven't. Emily and Hassan, can you please show some courtesy to the other panelists? Hamas is the lesser evil in comparison to Israel. Can you please stop talking both of you and let the other two panelists have a say? You want a soundby, Pierce. I'll give me a soundby. Please. Some courtesy for your co-panelists here.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Now, Esther, this is one of the problems I have with this whole debate, is that increasingly it just descends into a streaming match between pro-Palestinians and pro-Israelis. And the biggest losers are the victims of this war. 33,000 dead Palestinians, over 1,500 dead Israelis. These are the biggest victims of this, because you're shouting at each other, and nothing is getting... Forget having no courtesy for us. You're completely disrespecting actual victims of this conflict, which, by the way, didn't happen in a vacuum. And I think that's the most important thing to say about this.
Starting point is 00:24:24 None of this happened in a vacuum. Of course, October the 7th was an atrocity, and it was completely unjustified. There was no justification for butchering people in the world. way that they did. But it didn't happen in a vacuum. A lot of the people that live in Gaza weren't even born at the time that Hamas came in power. So I really just, I despise this, you're a terrorist sympathizer, your genocide supporter, all of this, when really the people that we should be talking about deserve better. Okay. James, on the wider point of these protests. Well, I couldn't get to that part because I wanted to describe what the apartheid is and
Starting point is 00:24:58 Emily cut in immediately to chirp about some random shit. Okay, you were both abusing each other. It was very unnoticed fine. Let me ask James. James, on the protest, on the protest, I believe in the right to protest. It's an absolute bedrock of any democracy. But I don't believe in the right to support terror groups publicly or to chant about support for Hamas
Starting point is 00:25:19 or to chant about Interfada, which is a violent uprising. Where's the line for you with these? I agree. I think we have to condemn what Hamas did, and I don't think the words that have been used so far have been strong enough. I mean, it was the worst thing we've seen in a very long time. It was disgusting, appalling, awful for everyone involved.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I also have a lot of sympathy, if not, I can't think of a bigger word. For the people of Gaza, it's awful. And I will agree with you, I do want a free Palestine. And I also want a free and successful Israel, but I don't want innocent people murdered. So, yeah, you can't go to a protest and start shouting about support for Hamas. That's insane. Isn't it ironic that something like this has become a haven for,
Starting point is 00:25:59 like the mentally unwell. You're talking about something as serious as a conflict in Israel and Gaza. And for some reason, you have really uneducated people that are clearly, like 20 years ago would have been in an asylum supporting this openly,
Starting point is 00:26:12 not even knowing the conflict, not even knowing the context of what they're supporting. And for some reason, we even give it air time. That's what upsets me. But these people don't deserve airtime. Everyone is so triggered on both sides,
Starting point is 00:26:24 on all sides, and rightly so, because a lot of terrible stuff has happened. That's where the emotion is coming from. But really, I think we all want the same thing. And that is for innocent people to not be murdered or slain in the streets. Right. I mean, look, Hassan, hang on.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Emily, please, I'll come to you. Let me just ask Hassan. When you and Emily go at each other like you just did, nobody wins. I mean, no one can really understand a word you're saying because you're shouting over each other. You end up just calling each other terrorists. There's no sensible dialogue here. There's no constructive conversation. It's just too, in fact, could be opposed sides abusing each other.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Do you understand that? Yeah, I, listen, peers, okay? This is going to always have, this is going to always be a very heated discussion. Okay? Having a conversation about how heated this discussion is, is utterly unproductive. Every single moment that we use on air, not talking about every single, every single university building being desecrated, destroyed. The fact that we're having this conversation and the eve of hundreds of mass graves
Starting point is 00:27:34 being unearthed right now in many different parts of Gaza around hospitals that Israel had laid siege to is disgusting. I agree. I came on here, as I have done last time as well, and as I will probably do in the future as well, with one simple goal in mind, which is to address all of the misinformation that surrounds stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:27:55 As far as the crackhead Barbie thing goes, Yeah, she's a random TikTok influencer who gives a shit about what she has to say. She's obviously doing it for clout. But the students over at Columbia, okay, the students that I have talked to at the Columbia University apartheid divest group,
Starting point is 00:28:11 the students that I've talked to from Jewish Voice for Peace. All right, Emily, let me just ask you, the same thing I asked to sound. When you guys scream at each other and call each other terrorists, it doesn't obviously achieve anything other than it becomes unintelligible to the audience. is there not a better way we can have this conversation?
Starting point is 00:28:30 Funnily enough, correct. And funnily enough, I have the same exact answer as Hassan. My job here is to make sure that I'm debunking false narratives, that Hassan is clearly spewing. My job here is to call out hypocrisy, and I just saw another one where he's saying that crackhead Barney, whoever hell that girl was, is a lunatic, but Aaron Bushnell, who lights himself on fire as a hero.
Starting point is 00:28:53 You can't pick and choose whatever fits your narrative. And I keep on repeating that over and over again because the Palestinian movement will literally just take what they can get, spew all of the truth into their false narrative, spread misinformation, and then you say that we're the liars. You tell me I'm wearing an IDF dog tag.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I'm wearing a bring them home for the hostages that you... No, it says bring them home. You're using the hostages as a simple political tool to make propaganda in the West is quite disgusting. This process that are happening in Israel right now are massive. are a political tool? And those protests, you are using humans and captivity as a political tool. It's so obvious.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Hassan, why are you dehumanizing the hostages? Because I have no problem admitting the Palestinians deserve better. I feel terrible at the casualty. I feel terrible at the casualty. I can say that. You can't. You would be in Tel Aviv right now. Let me bring in James.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Let me bring in James, please. I'm sorry. I can care of the hospital. Please, let me bring in James. I agree with both of your arguments. Sorry, can you please, when I say stop talking, please stop talking. We've got four people here, James. If anyone is using hostages, surely it's Hamas, Hassan.
Starting point is 00:30:05 How can you say that? How can you use that argument? That's a crazy thing to say. It's Hamas that have taken these people from their homes, tens of thousands of people in Israel. There are currently tens of thousands of Israeli citizens right now in the protests, right now in the streets of Israel, in the streets of Tel Aviv, outside of Benjamin Netanyahu's house,
Starting point is 00:30:26 protesting every single day. What are they protesting? They're protesting for Benjamin Netanyahu to facilitate a ceasefire with Hamas so that they can actually bring the hostages home. That is precisely the number one goal of the family members of the hostages. And if anyone on this panel was being even a little bit honest, they would recognize the reality that. Listen, just listen.
Starting point is 00:30:48 You didn't listen to my question. Listen to what I'm saying. and you will understand perhaps what I'm trying to imply here. Utilizing the hostages. I am being patronizing. I don't know who the fuck you are and you're over here chirping and chirping
Starting point is 00:31:04 all the way from fucking London about Palestine and doing a both sides are fucking fine type bullshit where you're talking about how you want to fucking free Palestine but also simultaneously you know both sides got a lot a lot going on. Shut the fuck up. You don't know anything. I don't give a shit about what your perspective is.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I agree. But a lot of the things are saying, so you're wrong. It's not, it's Hassan's way or the highway. I mean, you are, you are. There is no both sides on a genocide. Is there a both sides of a genocide? There is no both sides. The thing is, it's interesting you should mention the hostages.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Really? There is no both sides charter. They want Jewish genocide, but that's okay. But the thing is, if you're talking about the well-being of the host of, if you're talking about the well-being of the hostages, what sense did it make for the IDF to flatten about 70% of Gaza? Because I completely agree, bring the hostages home. If you look at Gaza, the topography of Gaza right now, it looks like a pancake.
Starting point is 00:31:55 So I'm sorry, this is a whole argument of Hamas using them as human tools. Fine, but the ITF has also been using it to continue that campaign. If you were told that if, God forbid, if your relative was one of the hostages, and you saw what's happening right now. And I met someone whose mother is a hostage, and he said he didn't want his mother and her being taken to be used in the name of violence. Right now, he's sitting at home wondering, okay, what is the logic of trying to bring my mother home when you flattened Gaza?
Starting point is 00:32:20 Please explain that to us. So can I call the question to you? You might very well pull those hostages from undergone. Okay, let Emily respond to that. Everyone wants to criticize the IDF's response, but nobody wants to tell me what should Israel be doing to retaliate October 7th, eradicate Hamas from preventing another October 7th,
Starting point is 00:32:38 and bring the hostages home. I have an idea. I have an idea. I have an idea. Do not flatten Gaza and potentially pull your own hostages up under the rubble like have been done with thousands of Palestinians. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Have you found any of them under the rubble? So you're saying that you don't have an answer. That is the answer. So you don't kill your own hostages. But you're quick to condemn the IDF, but you don't have an answer. How about not kidding the hostages? Very interesting. I have an answer.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Thank you for proving my point. It's called the dissolution of the apartheid regime. That's what it's called. Dissolve the apartheid regime. So what would you like to see happen, Husson? Let's breathing room. I do you not understand the English language? Dissolve the apartheid regime.
Starting point is 00:33:18 You need a Xanax. first of all, you need a Xanax. Okay, so should Israel do you to the West Bank what they did to Gaza? Should Israel give back the land so that it can turn into another Gaza? Is that what you'd like to see another terrorist haven launching rockets all day
Starting point is 00:33:34 instead of turning into Singapore? Because that's what they did in 2005. Wait, hold on. What is Singapore? The billions of dollars in aid they turned into building tunnels. Is that what you like to? Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:33:45 He's bombing. I don't know. Have I gone death? Sorry, Emily, is the West Bank supposed to be Singapore? What are you talking about? Is the West Bank supposed to be silipool? The West Bank received... The West Bank has a port.
Starting point is 00:33:55 They can import and export. Israel gave them a great piece of land. They received billions of dollars in aid not only from the U.S. Israel gave them a great piece of land? Are you mad? They had a chance to rebuild, but they spent the last 15 plus years crying that they don't have enough land. Because there is never enough land for them instead of rebuilding. But that's okay.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Build terrorist tunnels. Don't build hotels and don't rebuild civilization. Israel has not a terrorist. Just not allowed Palestinians to have a nation state that they deserve by international law since the inception of the Israeli nation state. What you are saying is insane to me. The fact that you brought up the last 15 years as Palestinians crying is disgusting. Oh, I have one more question.
Starting point is 00:34:38 You are a disgusting little monster who thinks that not offering contiguity to the Palestinians in the form of a state, which is under international law, is just simply Balasthenians crying. Okay? This, this West Bank Singapore. Hold on. This West Bank Singapore. A one state solution that eradicates the Israelis, which is not an option.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Fine. This West Bank Singapore, what places the settlements play in that? Please paint a picture of how the West Bank of Singapore or whatever, Singapore of the West Bank. How does this illegal settlements fit into that? I think you're completely missing. You're missing the picture. Just explain to me how the settlements fit into that picture.
Starting point is 00:35:15 I'm explaining it. The picture is they got a great piece of land to turn into society. Instead of turning into civilized society, Hamas to Israel gave God, Israel gave the land to Gaza. They withdrew, they removed Israelis from your homes. It's not Israel's land to give. It's not Israel's land to give. There are no Jews or Israelis. There are no settlements in Gaza.
Starting point is 00:35:38 In the West Bank. In the West Bank. They're not in the West Bank. I'm speaking about Gaza and now you're changing the Niren. I'm showing you. I'm telling you. that if Israel pulls out completely from the West Bank, if I'm speaking, if Israel pulls out from the West Bank, you can bet your ass it turns into the next Gaza. The world does not need
Starting point is 00:35:57 two gaza's because one Gaza has already caused enough damage. If, however, Gaza decides to demand the Hamas who moves themselves from power and they can have democracy, Israel has to do a genocide because if Israel doesn't do a genocide, then the Gaza is not genocide. The only genocide is the Hamas You cannot do defensive genocide. You know, it's interesting the word genocide. Hang on. It's interesting the word. Hang on. I would love to get a word in, please.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Interesting the word genocide, because I've listened to all this, fractures debate, everyone talking over each other. The truth is that actually only one side is publicly said that they wish to pursue a genocide, and that is Hamas. Hamas after October the 7th, through their official spokesman on camera, said they wanted to do it again and again and again. That is the purest articulation of a genocide imaginable.
Starting point is 00:36:52 And the one thing I never hear from the pro-Palestinian side is what Israel was actually, hang on. No, don't interrupt me. I haven't asked you a question yet. One Hamas guy. Sorry, I need to ask you a question. You're being a ridiculous person. You're being a ridiculous person.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I'm just saying nobody ever tells me. Because how many Israeli officials, even on your, show have said we should keep doing what we have been doing to Gaza over and over again. How does that not register in the same genocidal intent? If you think what that dude was saying, which was, by the way, ridiculous what he was saying, the Hamas official was saying is that we're going to do October 7 over and over again. But he said it. We are justified in doing it over and over again.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I don't, yes, I find that to be abhorrent. However, what you failed to recognize is that's the genocidal intent, but not Amalek. That's the genocidal intent, but not saying we are fighting human animals. and that's why we have to cut off their food, their water, and their electricity. That was defense minister Joev Galang who said that. There we go with the lies again. You're saying Israel cuts off their electricity. They don't even provide their electricity.
Starting point is 00:37:51 You're saying they cut off their water. Israeli politicians. You are viewing lies on national television. Can you? I'm talking about it. Again, you're talking over each other. Some of the comments. There's no doubt, Emily.
Starting point is 00:38:05 There's no doubt, Emily. There's people there are at war with. Some of the Israel is. No, Pierre. I'm not letting you. most current country I swear to God. This is pointless.
Starting point is 00:38:15 We're getting nowhere. No, because he's viewing misinformation. Israel is cutting off electricity, water, and aid. Did Defense Minister Yov Gavgant say we are fighting human animals or not? Answer that question. Did defense minister Yolev Glein say we are fighting human animals
Starting point is 00:38:31 and we have to cut off their electricity, cut off their food, cut off their water? Okay. You know what? I'm going to cut off. I'm going to cut off this debate. The rest is Khamas. I'm going to cut off a debate because we're getting absolutely nowhere.
Starting point is 00:38:45 But I appreciate everybody joining me. Thank you very much indeed.
