He hosts a podcast of his own.
It's called Anti-War News.
and he is our news editor at anti-war.com,
keeping track of all of,
I'm about to use the same word again three times in a row,
the bad news for us, every day, all day, at anti-war.com,
news dot anti-war.com to be a bit more specific.
Welcome back to the show.
How you doing, Dave?
I'm good, Scott. Thanks for having me.
Man, I'm really happy to have you here.
I know there's so much going on in the world,
and everybody's trying to change the subject to everything,
and why wouldn't they?
but I just want to talk about Israel-Palestine
is I think, you know, topics come and go
in terms of public attention and all of that
and this was a really big deal to a lot of people last year
but then a lot of attention has been pulled away
to other issues like the election and things like that.
So I just want to catch up with you on what is really happening
and you know what even in my interviews of you lately
it's like, well, what's going on with Iran and all that?
I haven't really heard a good update, or I haven't really given you guys time to give us a really good update on what in the world is going on in the Gaza Strip to the poor helpless Palestinian captives right now at Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu's gun barrel.
Yeah, so something big happened this week actually on Election Day.
So for the past month, it's been very clear that Israel is carrying out this.
this ethnic cleansing campaign in northern Gaza.
They control a strip of land just south of Gaza City called the Netsram Corridor,
where basically the IDF has bulldozed everything.
They set up little military outposts.
And their goal is to get the, you know, it was estimated that there was 300 to 400,000
Palestinian civilians in northern Gaza.
Their goal is to get them south of that line.
And this was outlined in this so-called generals plan that was drawn up by retired IDF generals.
And the plan is, you know, give an evacuation order, whoever doesn't leave, then they're a combatant, kill them, either, you know, by military action, shoot them, bomb them, or starve them to death.
And so it's been very clear, again, over the past month, Israeli media has reported basically that they're doing kind of a limited version of the general's plan.
They're focusing on Jabalya, these cities in the north, like the northernmost part of Gaza, which is Betlajia is like the main city.
city up there near the Israeli border. So again, it's been very clear from the media reports
on Tuesday, an IDF spokesman said publicly that there is no intention of allowing the residents
of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes. Dave, in this article that you linked to
today in your piece in Harretz here, they report straight news reporting from the New York
Times of Israel, basically. They say in Al-Ahtara and Bet Lahia, there isn't a single house that people
could return to and live in. The area looks like it was hit by a natural disaster. There are no civilians
to be seen among the ruins. Yep. Like Truman in North Korea. Yeah, so they got in. These
Heretz reporters, and they reported what they saw on the ground. Not a single home left. And at night,
they just fire artillery into these areas.
They estimate there's a few thousand civilians left.
And at night, they just, you know, indiscriminately fire artillery shells into the area
to pressure them to leave and also to prevent people from coming back.
And again, there's no home for them to come back to.
So, again, we've seen the U.S. Biden administration, even Israeli officials, deny that they're
carrying out this ethnic cleansing plan.
But on Tuesday, on election day in America, the IDF comes out and says, yeah, we're not letting them go back to their homes.
You know, that's it.
And right on the other side of the border in Israel, there's all these settlers camped out.
And actually a few times they busted into Gaza.
And then IDF had to kind of push them out.
So, you know, Jewish settlements in northern Gaza, I think it's something that could happen sooner than I thought.
So what they're doing in North Gaza now, what they've basically been doing is these northern
cities, they're pushing people down into Gaza City.
And it sounds like from what the IDF said the other day, that they're just about done.
They've pushed 55,000 people out of Jabalya, and they say there's only a few thousand left
in those other northern cities.
So they basically cut this section of the northern Gaza strip into two.
So once they're done with the top section, the northern section there, then they're going to
go for Gaza City to try to push everybody out of there. And meanwhile, they're still bombing
Gaza City. They've been, of course, bombing across the South still. You know, dozens are killed
every day. But in the north, I mean, it's been horrific. You know, they've leveled, gone back to just
leveling entire residential buildings. They haven't let any aid into the, into Jabalia, Betlachia, and
those areas. And you see these pictures coming out, you know, it's based of all these Palestinian
and civilians just being marched down the road.
And the IDF has actually released footage, drone footage, going over these crowds of people
having to march out.
And it's women and children.
I mean, this is who they're cleansing from the area.
And that's what they, you know, and again, this Heretz piece says, yeah, there's no doubt
that that's what they're doing.
They're cleansing and they're probably going to build settlements here.
You know, man, I'm sorry.
I keep bringing this back up, but it's just on my mind because I wrote a book about it.
It's in there.
And I just finally saw footage.
Maybe I had seen this before, but I only just saw footage of the fake Ratchak massacre
that was used as the justification to start the war against Serbia in 1999.
And all that happened was there was a firefight the night before.
And then the Kosovo, Albanian side, took their dead.
And it was like seven or eight guys, I mean, it was ten guys, and threw them in a ditch.
But it was clearly staged.
There's no blood anywhere.
there's no shell casings anywhere.
And you're talking under, you know, less than 10 men and fighters who were killed in battle lying in a ditch.
And Bill Clinton goes, oh my God, everybody.
Did you hear what happened with the horrible Serbs?
They lined up these men and they massacred him in a ditch.
We have to start a war to break Kosovo off away from Serbia.
in violation of every law and under no legal authority whatsoever
over less than 10 men shot in a ditch
and just think for a moment if that same standard applied
somehow it's the same Bill Clinton
who went to Michigan the other day
and told them that the Palestinians deserve it
the same guy
and liberals don't see a contradiction there
I think the leftists do, which is why they stayed home, which is why, and this is so important and notable.
And I'm thankful for this.
I'm congratulating the anti-war left for staying home and helping the Democrats lose.
And particularly, it's so meaningful that they lost Dearborn Michigan.
And by the way, I saw Jill Stein got 18%.
Get it?
Stein?
The sweet little Jewish lady got 18% of it.
of the vote in Dearborn
Michigan because she cares about
Palestinians and is not a
Zionist war monger
and because they are not
anti-Semites
like
you may have been led to believe
clearly
and so good for
the left for sticking it to the liberals
they deserve to lose
especially for this
I mean how many people
how many civilians and
you know
know i know fine fighting age males who may or may not have had a rifle don't count for some
reason but how about everybody else how many tens of thousands of dead are we talking now dave de camp
from antiwar dot com well according to gaza's health ministry um the death toll is over 43 000
over the past year now as we've talked about a lot on here their death toll they count bodies
as they come to hospitals and morgues,
they don't account for people who are missing
and presumed dead under the rubble,
which at this point could be tens of thousands.
And also in Batlachia, in Jabalya,
there's been all these reports about basically
they kill people in the streets
and then the civil defense crews
haven't been able to get to them
because Israel's been shooting anybody
that tried to get into those areas.
So that problem is even worse now.
And so I recently interviewed Dr.
Feroz Sidwa, who is one of the American healthcare workers who volunteered in Gaza. He was in
Con Unis in the spring. And he noticed a lot of horrific things, but the big thing that's kind of
gotten the most attention is the children with headshots getting shot in the head. And when he
came back to the U.S., he talked to other American health care workers, and they all described seeing
a similar thing. So they got together. And they wrote a big open letter to buy a
and then Harris. And in that, they estimate that at least 118,000 people have been killed,
including killed by military action, people missing and presumed dead, and also indirect deaths.
And when I spoke with him, he said that that was the bare minimum from looking at the data.
And we got into kind of, there's probably a lot of newborn babies who have died because some of the
people he worked with on this letter and he published this big op-ed, who worked in the neonatal
units that they were seeing babies die every day. So that's what they're saying, 118,000
at minimum. And that's over 5% of Gaza's population. So, and these deaths count, you know,
the starvation or disease, that counts as as a war death because they've imposed the siege.
They've destroyed all the hospitals, destroyed all the infrastructure. I mean, you see these people
living in these really crowded tent camps, there's this garbage, there's no proper, you know, sewer
or anything. It's just a, you know, just imagine living like that now for, and some people
have been doing this for more than a year. So, yeah, I think that number is reasonable that they've
put out. Yeah, it's amazing that this is allowed to continue on. I think, you know, a big part of it
has to still be that Americans think that Palestine is the country next door. And,
they started it after all or some kind of thing and they don't understand this is a prison camp
it's a ghetto right it's like you know poland under german occupation and all the jews have been
rounded into the warsaw ghetto that's not a nation state that's you know an equal combatant
with the surrounding occupation army is it that's the position the Palestinians are in they were
already beaten 50 years ago, 55.
They're on an Indian reservation
being pummeled like this.
It's like if we did this to the south side of Chicago,
there's too much violence on the south side of Chicago.
So what we're going to do is we're going to build a giant fence around it
and then bomb the place and kill 100,000 people.
That'll solve the problem of the violence in South Chicago.
You see how that would not be like, hey, well, South Chicago is an
nation and they started it and America's just defending itself. No. Actually, that analogy or
understanding would be inapt and incorrect. What we're talking about here is more like the
Attica prison uprising and Governor Rockefeller sending in the stormtroopers to kill everybody.
And you see stories a lot about elderly Palestinians who live in northern Gaza, who were pushed out
with their families in 1948, you know, shuffled into Gaza, into these refugee camps and who
lived there since then. And now they've been pushed out again. And, you know, that's happened a lot.
You know, I remember reading a story about a 94-year-old woman who was displaced eight times
during this thing. She eventually died. But, you know, that's someone, again, pushed out,
made a refugee in 1948. And then before she dies, it happens again. And we've seen Israeli ministers
is Begolan, who is a Lucude minister in the government. She's the Minister for Social
Equality and the advancement of women. We've seen her at this recent conference that they had,
this resettled Gaza conference, you know, calling for a new Nakhba. This is what they're openly
saying that they want to do. And it's been clear from the beginning that they wanted to conquer
Gaza. There was a leaked Israeli intelligence document that came out, and this is October
2023. Maybe it came out in November, but it was, you know, drawn up in October. And it laid out three
potential post-war scenarios for Israel. And it said, you know, the best case is all the Palestinians are
expelled into Egypt. And, you know, they build camps for them. And there's like a buffer zone so they
can't get back. So this is what they've wanted from the beginning. And now it's kind of, you know,
this general's plan that they're following. It says, do this in northern Gaza and then do it in the
rest of Gaza. This is what they want to just get rid of all the Palestinians. And if they don't
leave, they want to kill and starve them. Egypt's still holding out, taking them in. I think one thing,
this is kind of a whole other topic, but a Trump administration, if he brings back a guy like
David Friedman, Mike Pompeo, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to bribe Egypt into
taking the Palestinians or something. Yeah, I mean, was that the problem? Was that Biden just
wouldn't cough up enough money? I don't think he really tried.
And they've been saying, you know, oh, we don't, that they don't support the expulsion
of the Palestinians, that they don't support Israel taking settlements and taking land, even
though it's been happening this whole time, but kind of their position has been, oh, we're
going to work out this big peace plan eventually.
The Saudis are going to normalize with Israel, and then they're going to pay to, you know,
rebuild Gaza, just kind of this pipe dream that's not going to happen.
I don't think they've really put pressure on Egypt.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, y'all, let me tell you about Roberts & Roberts, Brokerage, Inc.
Nobody trusts the U.S. dollar anymore.
Foreign governments are stocking up on gold instead of $100 bills.
One, they know they need to, and two, that means you need to, too.
Interest rates are up, but for some reason, not much for savings accounts.
Park your money there and watch Uncle Joe Biden just counterfeit its value away.
You can see how the Fed is afraid to raise rates to beat inflation
for fear of popping the current bubbles, at least before the election.
So more inflation it will continue to be.
Gold is your shield against monetary and price inflation, just like it always has been.
Now Tim Fry and the guys over at Roberts are recommending gold over silver
since the world's almost 200 governments are putting their own pressure on the price,
which should help everyone else who make similar calls on their own.
Of course, Roberts and Roberts can help you with platinum, palladium, and silver as well as gold.
Don't let the Fed and the war party inflate all your savings away.
Look up Roberts and Roberts at R-R-R-B-I.C-O.
That's R-R-R-B-I.C-O.

It is a severe danger what's going to happen with Trump and his war party in the next administration.
Now, I guess I heard, I didn't really read into it too much, Dave, but I guess I had,
heard people talk about there was a story that Trump had told Netanyahu to wrap it up by
inauguration day but they didn't really say if that meant you know really break out the heavy
bombers and finish the job of cleansing the Gaza Strip before then or if he just meant I want
this off the headlines by then and without anticipating any you know major further push
between now and then or anything you know what I mean uh much of an increase in the
the tempo of the fighting. Yeah. Yeah, it's not really clear exactly what he said. But yeah, I mean,
basically the report said he told that he wanted it over by inauguration. Then the U.S.
official that they cited, the former U.S. official that they cited there said that, oh, well,
you know, he basically Trump would be okay with backing what they called residual military action
just as long as Israel declared that the war was over. So if they have success,
cleansed this first half of Northern Gaza in just a month. And if they continue on this
path, I think by the time Trump comes in, they might be done cleansing northern Gaza. And then maybe
they would just focus kind of on, you know, bulldozing everything there, maybe building some
stuff and kind of just keeping. I mean, you know, the daily thing has just basically been
airstrikes kind of across Gaza. It doesn't seem like there's much rhyme or reason to them. They
claimed Obama shelter and be like, oh, it was a Hamas command center, but they never put out
any evidence for that.
Yeah, Air Wars debunked all that, too.
Air Wars showed where they claimed, oh, it was a command center here and a command center there
over and over again.
I know it wasn't.
It was just a homeful of civilians.
And they proved it on a one at a time basis going through.
And another thing that interview I did with Dr. Faro's, he, another thing they said in
their letter, 99 American health care workers who volunteered in Gaza, you know, they've
attacked every single hospital.
And all of them said they did not see any.
militant activity at the hospitals um but uh you know that's the justification and and somehow i mean
it's just really criminal what the biden administration has done here it's anti war radio i'm
scott horton i'm talking with dave de camp from antire war dot com about the worst thing about
america israel and now you know when it comes to the election you know for people who
put this war first which is understandable since it's absolutely the worst
thing happening in the world right now by far, that you got Donald Trump, whose fault it
all is, him and his stupid son-in-law, fulfilling Netanyahu's every magic wish to implement
the Netanyahu doctrine at the expense of the people of Palestine, which set up for October
7th and the terrible crisis, which then Biden and Kamala Harris, as you just stipulated,
helped kill 100,000 people since then. Trump didn't do that. He just,
made it all happen. But then he's avowedly worse, and here he comes again. So the Democrats
absolutely deserve to be defeated for what they've done. And now they're being replaced by a guy
who just cashed a check for $100 million from Miriam Edelson. And when you talk about Israel,
when I do, when we all talk about Israel being the worst thing about America, we all know
why too it's just the money and there's a great article here at the washington report on middle
eastern affairs and they're the good guys we're mea you'll recognize them w r m e a dot org and they have
this great article called unprecedented pro israel pack funding floods 24 elections it's by jack
mcgrath and he goes through there and shows the high hundreds of thousands of dollars that the
have donated to all the most important congressmen and senators, et cetera.
And as we know from recent news, as Representative Thomas Massey explained,
every member of Congress has an A-PAC minder assigned to them.
And, you know, some of it's illegal and some of it's, you know, Jeffrey Epstein blackmail.
But a lot of it is just the Israel lobby is not forced to register as foreign agents.
They're allowed to operate as though they are Americans representing America's interests.
And they are highly organized and well-financed.
And they play the game of democracy better than the AARP, better than the gun lobby, better than anyone.
They, when someone says, oh, I think I might run for Congress, bland, they got somebody from APAC going sign here.
You either believe in this stuff or your goose is cooked.
and that's how our system works
that this foreign government gets to decide for us
on all of these things
on who our senators are, on who we get to pick from
when it comes to our representatives, our senators, and our presidents.
And if it was England
well then we'd be railing against perfidious Albion
but it's not. It's Israel
and it's a major problem.
I mean, you just mentioned Trump's advice
is coming in. We know it's Jared Kushner picking them again, right? We know that David Friedman,
who is his ambassador to Israel, is right at the top of, you know, helping him staff his National
Security Council. I mean, we are screwed. The poor Palestinians are screwed.
Yeah, David Friedman just wrote a book about how the U.S. should help, you know, fund the Israeli
annexation of the West Bank and that the Palestinians there should.
be able to vote in national elections.
I mean, he has this whole plan drawn out.
And that's something, of course, Miriam Edelson wants.
So, you know, back to the situation in Gaza, by the time Trump comes in January
on January, I wouldn't be surprised if Israel's kind of completed most of cleansing
North Gaza and then maybe they can declare some sort of victory, but they're going to keep
up the strikes in southern Gaza.
And then I think that team might get to work.
the Trump team might get to work on convincing the Egyptians to let them in, build some camps
in the Sinai Desert. You know, I think that's a real possibility. And in the situation in Lebanon,
you know, there's all this talk about a ceasefire, but Israel's been really keeping up the airstrikes
there. They're having a tough time fighting on the ground against Hezbollah. They're still putting up
a pretty serious fight. But it just doesn't seem like a ceasefire is near there. And, you know,
we have Iran saying that they're going to respond to Israel. So this is a really,
volatile time, I think, this transition period.
You know, Israel, Netanyahu,
they know this is
time for them to make some
trouble. And if Biden gets somehow,
you know, if he decides, all right, that's enough,
he's not going to really be able to do anything
in two months. So.
Yeah, exactly. It's way too late
for him to change course
whatsoever there. All right.
Well, so I guess
I wanted to joke a little bit
about the new Chinese J35
fighter that looks exactly
like an F-35 and I'm not sure whether that means
that I should well first of all
be angry at Lockheed
for being so lousy at keeping their secrets
that they gave the Chinese the blueprints to everything
but also does that mean that they're just going to fall right out of the sky
like Lockheed's F-35s do
that they're not really stealthy they're not fast
they can't turn they can't climb they can't fight
like an F-35 that they're just made to
confiscate tax money from the people of China
when they'd be funny they have a
giant war in the Pacific and all the boats just sink and break down and all the planes just fall
out of the sky not because they got shot but just because their engine sputters out because they
got made on a contract yeah um you think they would have used a different number instead of 35 i know
enough funny um all right well we're trying to find something funny to joke about okay now the question
is whether israel's going to use that 35s that uh Obama and trump and Biden gave them to attack nuclear
sites in Iran. I kind of doubt it, but there's news on those lines. So tell us what's going on.
Yeah. So I covered this story from Bloomberg that they basically cited an Israeli official who said
that they were thinking about hitting the nuclear sites during the transition time. And I doubt that
too, that they would just try to do that on their own. I mean, they wouldn't really need some help
from the U.S. if they wanted to actually do some damage to the... Hey, what was this that I saw, Dave,
that said that Biden sent B-52s over there. Was that to threaten Hezbollah with or was that for Iran?
But that was for Iran.
And they sent them to Qatar then?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, yeah, that's a threat.
And recently, the U.S. used B2 bombers to bomb Houthi sites in Yemen.
And basically, in the press release, you know, it was very clear that that was a threat to Iran.
They said, you know, this was a rare opportunity to demonstrate how we can, you know, drop these bombs and destroy things underground.
Like, I think they just bombed Yemen just to show, you know, just as a threat to Iran.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I mean, that's the thing.
It's only been nine years.
I'm pretty sure that destroying the Houthis from the air will work eventually, Dave.
Yeah.
Well, exactly.
Yeah, they think they have to know that, you know, the bombing the Houthis isn't going to do much.
It hasn't done much over it.
It's been almost a year now that the U.S. has been bombing them.
But so I would be surprised, you know,
if Israel just goes ahead and tries to bomb the nuclear sites or if Israel and the U.S. do it together.
But I think it's concerning that, you know, again, that's what they're thinking, they're discussing during this transition time.
Although, as you say here, you pointed out that, and I'm glad that you caught this, I had seen something else.
I forgot who may be the DNI, but you have the CIA head here, Burns, saying that no, they do not assess that Iran has made the decision to begin to seek nukes.
There are even some headlines saying, oh, there was some weird.
earthquake in Iran and maybe it was an underground test and all this. So CIA has come out since then
and said, no, they have not changed their mind about whether to make nukes yet. Yeah. Correct?
Yes. And that's everything, really. That's what Bush said in his memoir. Well, the CIA really
screwed me. How was I supposed to bomb Iran after the intelligence said that they don't have a
military program? Now I can't. Yeah. And he was so bummed out. But yeah.
But one thing I do mention in the article is that the conversation, you know, that we've
seen Iranian members of parliament start saying, hey, maybe we should consider this ban on
the development of nuclear weapons.
But I think the Ayatollah knows that if he does decide to do that, then that's it.
That would be the pretext there for a big U.S. strike.
But, again, this, you know, the fact that Israel's talking about that, it makes
me feel like in the next couple months, even if Iran doesn't attack them again, Israel might do
something kind of to get the ball rolling and get the escalation started again with Iran,
you know, maybe put Biden in a corner in his last few weeks. Like, you know, because I mean,
if Iran really hits, there's reports that if Israel, there are air strikes that they launched
on October 26th in response to that Iranian missile barrage. If Israel really went hard against
civilian sites, they targeted military sites, but if they hit the oil infrastructure or nuclear,
Iran was ready to fire like a thousand ballistic missiles at Israel. Now, I don't know if
Netanyahu would want to provoke something like that, but if they get Iran, if Iran fires
another big attack that really does some damage in Israel, kill some people, you know, then
what is Biden going to do? I mean, you know, then there's the chance of the U.S. getting involved
in direct strikes against Iran, I think.
Well, I guess we'll see what happens.
I don't know how much courage Netanyahu really has
or what Trump told them the other day on the phone.
But anyway, it's a brave new world now, Dave.
So everybody focus, you know, first things first.
All right, thanks again for your time, Dave.
