We spend the whole program with Nadav Wieman, a former IDF sniper and now executive director of Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli veterans who expose the reality of life in the Occupied Territories and work to end the occupation.
I'm sure I won't be the only listener pointing this out, but there is zero evidence to support even one case of rape commited by Hamas on Oct 7, let alone mass rapes. There is no audio visual evidence, no forensic evidence and no victims have been identified either living or dead. The cases that Israeli officials and their flunky's have provided as evidence have been thoroughly debunked. Your guest, Mr. Weiman casually referred to mass rapes on Oct 7, which at this point anyone who has been following this nightmare honestly, knows definitely didn't happen. It is a lie that has been used to justify genocide, and at this point, everyone should know that.
I hope you guys can address his false accusation in an upcoming episode.
There is no evidence for those who are blind to evidence. There IS tons of evidence, in part because the sub-human terrorists recorded their despicable crimes against humanity using go-pros. How much time has Ralph spent examining the crimes of Hamas? Not only against Israel but against their own people who they use as human shields? Based on this moronic post you would think Israel is the one who attacked innocent civilians. October 7th was an act of genocide. From the river to the sea is a call for genocide. After rejecting every peace initiative and after 70 years of attempting to eradicate Israel, the Palestinians still exist and their numbers continue to grow. Either there is no genocide against Palestinians or the Israelis are the most incompetent perpetrators of genocide in the world. But consider what would happen if the Israelis were to be defeated by the Arabs referred to as Palestinians - then morons like Andrew would know what a true genocide looks like. And if Ralph were to look deeper, understand the Muslim Brotherhood’s 100 Year Project to defeat the west from within, perhaps all of the Jew-haters would see the conflict with open eyes. They are winning this asymmetric war against the west because most don’t know it’s happening. Idiots like Andrew will not be spared. The only Jewish state in the world, the only democracy in the Middle East-where 20% of the population is Arab(and not clamoring to leave and live in an autocratic Muslim theocracy), is judged by a different standard than any other country on the planet. If anyone wants to learn that the holocaust never happened - just get in touch with Andrew.
And indeed from the river to the sea is integral to the aims of the Likud party. You should know this. It’s the key to the map Netanyahu displayed at the opening of the UN a few weeks before October 7th. “From the River to the sea Palestine shall be free” is hardly genocidal when compared to “from the river to the sea Israel shall be free of Palestinians” which is clearly the aim at present of the ethnic cleansing intentions and the illegal expansion of settlements and the use of famine and starvation and the intentional murder of Palestinians of all ages whether or not they happen to be standing in the open or on top of a deeply buried Hamas tunnel.
No need to reply. We already know what your thoughts will be.
And PS: we note with care your reference to the 20% of Israelis as “Arab”when a non-threatening interview with any of them would indicate to you that refusing to identify them as “Palestinian Israelis” is really discriminatory, not to mention that they would probably refer to Israel’s official state laws that have dropped Arabic as an official language or the other legislative acts that have given them essentially second class citizenship.
The usual Israeli response, hostility, condescension, cynicism, and self worship. If my question isn't reasonable, then your statement isn't reasonable.
2nd-class citizenship in Israel is obviously better than 1st class citizenship as a human shield in a death cult. From the River to the Sea is a well documented call for genocide against Jews. But great humanitarians like you need to invent a speculative version that is not part of the Israeli lexicon. But in light of the fact that Israelis live next to a neighbor that keeps periodically attacking them, then cries foul after rejecting EVERY peace offer - when for you is “enough enough!”? What other nation would tolerate living next door to a rabid antagonist bent on their destruction. So with all due respect, GFY.
"because the sub-human terrorists".(Palestinians? isn't this who he's referencing) ...Moronic post.."...and after listening to the ex-Israeli sniper's (interviewed by Nader) acknowledgement that Israel under the radical, crazed Israeli right-wing government is incrementally losing its "democracy" Joe Jacobs asserts it's still intact.....Mr. Jacobs' contribution just makes me sadder...and sparks a memory of a talk given by Miko Peled, author of The General's Son...(himself an ex-Israeli soldier in the elite force) who described the 24/7 brain washing the entire Israeli society is soaked in using just such derogatory assignations of Palestinians as "sub-human" ("human animals"). And this sentence of Joel Jacobs confounds -"Either there is no genocide against Palestinians or the Israelis are the most incompetent perpetrators of genocide in the world." Confounds and astonishes.
Clearly Jacobs is a troll and wrong about the genocide. The equivalent level of carnage in the US would be in the tens of millions of deaths--if it was around 400,000 Palestinians killed so far, I believe it would be he equivalent of around 46 million US citizens killed over past year. Or 200k would be 23 million or thereabouts. I would say that that is pretty efficient and qualifies as massive genocide. Especially if we consider WWII when it took the Nazis 4-5 years to kill somewhere around 6 million jews and other people. So yes Jacobs is a troll and wrong about the extent of the genocide. The Israeli's have teams of soldiers and others who are paid to troll us with Israeli propaganda so we just need to realize we are competing against our own taxpayer dollars to be heard and to maintain humanity.
Good information....troll or not, such ridiculousness must not remain alone on the page and unmet/un-addressed by truth/reality...otherwise we collude with Schumer's and Jeffries' silence and soft shoe response to the Repub Corporate aided Wreckers of the Constitution and Law ....and the shreds left of our Democratic institutions and entities.
joel is mentally disturbed. he might be in the israeli military, his job to sit on the computer and blast his propaganda. he might just be a nut. he's not rationale.
WTF told you 400,000 Palestinians have been killed!?!? The numbers killed; which come exclusively from Hamas and do not distinguish between their combatants and their human shields, aren’t even close to this number. Not everyone who disagrees with your moronic misinformation is a troll. And a genocide is when you attempt to eradicate a specific group. The Palestinian population has increased despite repeatedly attempting THEIR publicly stated desire to commit genocide against all Jews. So you’re a moron on multiple levels-congratulations! You have your 5th-degree Black Belt in stupidity! I know this is too advanced of a concept for some of you terrorists sympathizers who would be murdered within 20 minutes after arriving in Gaza, but if the Israelis truly wanted to commit genocide, don’t you think it would be over by now? Here’s a thought - tell your buddies in Hamas to surrender (this is what defeated armies usually do), return the hostages or their remains, and the killing stops. And BTW - they are coming for you too - you’re just too ignorant to be aware of the Muslim Brotherhood’s 100 Year Project to defeat the West from within. And let me know when you get around to protesting other genocides and atrocities around the world occurring on a much larger scale than Israel’s right to self-defense. Because you’re such caring, moral human rights defenders - right?
As an Israeli, he sees good guys and bad guys and his side (the left) is the good guy. The sad reality of Israel is that both the left and the right have been brutal to the Pals.
That bunch of happy-go-lucky “Pals” have had 17 years of total control of Gaza, free of Israelis, and hundreds of billions in free international aid, and instead of building a vibrant society for their population, they squandered this time and treasure to build tunnels and rocket factories - then committed a savage, unprovoked attack, then scurried like rats to their tunnels with hostages, and hid as cowards behind their population that were used as human shields. What would ANY other country in the world do with a neighbor that has demonstrated over 75 years that they hate you more then they love their children, and they won’t stop trying to eradicate you from the face of the earth. I cannot imagine roaming the planet in such a state of absolute moral confusion which in and of itself is deeply immoral and offensive.
i hope other countries wouldn't put bullets in the heads of children, i hope they wouldn't bomb 32 hospitals, torture surgeons, kills 100s of members of the press, i believe israel is unique in all of these matters, what a sick place
free of israelis? who are those people who have encircled the pals with a blockade, who shoot pal. fisherman, who maimed 9,000 people who were protesting on the Gaza side of the fence and killed 250 others?
Astounds and astonishes? Perhaps I should have typed slower. And yes, any culture that joyfully rapes women - cutting off their breasts while still alive and being gang raped, tying married couples together; alternating torturous acts so each one can witness the horrific pain administered to their loved one - prior to throwing their infant into an oven to be burned alive, hacking off the head of a guest worker with a blunt gardening instrument requiring repeated blows - while still alive, taking hostages and murdering them to prevent them from being rescued including an infant and his mother, using a grandmother and holocaust survivor’s cell phone to photograph her bloodied body to send the images to her family, on and on - are indeed subhumans. And anyone who shows sympathy for these pieces of excrement are either morally confused or also subhumans. Sorry for referencing the holocaust - I’m sure you think that was a hoax as well and you must suffer for the poor Nazi perpetrators. You wouldn’t last 20 minutes living in Gaza. You could be beaten to death for the unforgivable crime of having your head uncovered. You like listening to the sons speak - then listen to the son of Hamas.
How’s this for a buzzword - you’re an A-hole! Hamas joyfully filmed their unprovoked acts of sadistic savagery. The problem is you can’t see the evidence because your head is lodged so far up your “back door”, it couldn’t be extricated using the Jaws of Life and two sticks of dynamite.
what's the evidence? video, photos, testimony, medical results? We have seen none of it. What do you care about that? You only need to go by your strong opinions and feelings of superiority. That's all Joel needs.
Exactly. It's the Palestinian prisoners who are daily and constantly raped by Israeli soldiers in their medieval prisons. It is so hard to trust an Israeli soldier, or otherwise, to tell the truth of Israel in Palestine, the truth that we in America, not hindered by their EXTREME BIAS to their People and their State, know so well. And of course, in The Intercept's investigation of NYT's sensationalist article on the subject that gave so much legitimacy to this lie, "Screams Without Words’: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7," The Intercept showed that THE STORY had no witnesses, no forensic evidence, no reports, no proof, no bodies, only professional liars hired by Israel to do that dirty job, and a so-called "reporter", actually an Israeli filmmaker and former air force intelligence officer, sent to work with the NYT, who, no matter what information and proof SHE DID NOT FIND, at the end of each part of her investigation, when she found yet another proven liar of the story, just KNEW she was on to something very very bad. Just a really ridiculous woman, full of prejudices and nastiness.
and the holocaust never happened, gravity is just an illusion, and morons like Tara will believe any false narrative about Israel yet ignore the mountain of evidence that Hamas proudly recorded with their own Go-Pros. Well done moron.
Thank you Nadav Weiman for finding the courage of your convictions to speak out about what ‘Bibi’ and Israeli forces are doing… the torture and slaughter of innocent Palestinian children and women, men, doctors, EMT staff, nurses, journalists and many others.
Thank you Ralph and everyone for all you are doing to expose the horrific atrocities committed by Israeli forces led by Netanyahu. Yes, the numbers are many more thousands of innocent babies, children and families, adults, doctors, EMS staff, nurses, journalists and many more Palestinians.
These numbers must be exposed… since October 7, 2023 the numbers of innocent children targeted and killed. I believe the collapse was calculated. Netanyahu wanted a ‘conflict’… that word is an insult to the Palestinian people. What Israeli forces are doing is slaughtering babies, children, adults innocent Palestinians.
“Failure of intelligence but also failure of our government (Israel)”…. catastrophic failure is no longer the case… they are committing genocide. Witnessing the dehumanization of Palestinian people. Palestinians are thought of being sub-humans by the Israeli people. They are encouraged to be tortured, raped, and slaughtered. Shame on supposedly the “chosen ones “. They are doing what the Nazis led by Hitler did to the Jews in 1939 and onward. Netanyahu is the 21st century version of Hitler.
Thank you to the Israeli speaker on this podcast for the information he is providing to us so we can understand.
The abject stupidly of people like AnaMaria will be the eventual death of the west. Since when do we side with terrorists who hide behind their own people, who had almost two decades-left to their own devices- and hundreds of billions in aid to build a society that provides hope and prosperity for their people. Instead, they built tunnels - that they didn’t use to protect their own people-incited a conflict knowingly what the response would justifiably be, and used their own people as cannon fodder for PR purposes to gain sympathy from ignoramuses like AnaMarie. They gang raped women - cutting off their breasts during the act in some cases, burned babies alive, murdered parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents, took hostages including an infant who died or was murdered along with his mother in captivity. THIS was an act of genocide! Shame on Ralph whom I considered a national treasure, and shame on the morally confused ignoramuses siding with brutal genocidal terrorists.
You accuse her of “abject stupidity”? 1200 dead Israeli citizens(including a good number of soldiers and police) some of whom as Israeli journalists have determined were killed by Israeli forces? So if you say this indicates genocidal intent, what do you—putting on the hat of “neutral intelligence” just for the moment—call the response of Israel onto the Palestinians in the concentrated area of Gaza? Obviously members of Hamas have been killed. But surely you will have to admit that a newborn infant or an emmaciated three year old dying of hunger would not have the strength to pull the trigger on a rifle or rocket nor even to push the tab on a computer keyboard as one of your soldiers might do seeing a child digging in the rubble. WHAT IN THÉ NAME OF ALL THAT IS HUMAN AND HOLY DO YOU CALL THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION OF GAZANS AND GAZA? DO YOU STILL WANT TO CALL IT SELF-DEFENSE?
Israel has gotten away scot-free with its violations of humanitarian law and its willful ignoring of its pledges when it became a member of the UN, up until the present day.
And did you suddenly become smarter than Ralph at that moment? I doubt it. I don't know anything about Ralph taking the part of Russia but I assure you of this, when Ralph promotes something that I find surprising, I will first reexamine my biases, not Ralph's. That's what it means to admire someone's intellectual gifts from afar. Ralph is exposed to people and knowledge I will never have access to. He may find surprising revelations that he shares. Neither you nor I have ironclad knowledge of any political topic which could not change given the introduction of new sources. I am always on edge, wondering what element of my supposed knowledge actually came out of government or corporate or lobbyist propaganda.
Dang Ralph, after all these years you’re still sharp as a tack! I appreciated your excellent questions during this interview!?!!Thank you!! PS! Tell us all what you’re doing to stay so sharp! 😀Cheers!?
Have you ever been jerked around and didn't know it ? Has anyone ever said something to you and later changed his or her mind knowing in the first place what they said to you was bull shit and you fell hook line and sinker and then found out later you got screwed when the truth was revealed.
Sometimes people get jacked around so much they can't tell what is true,false or fake.
Take Mr Trump, people shouldn't be dieing in Ukraine ( true) on day one when I get elected the killing will stop ( false ) Mr Trump, I will stop the war in Gaza on day one of my election ( false) the Gaza war continues ( true ) .
You see good intentions can be deceving.let's assume Mr Trump believes the blood baths in Ukraine or the deaths of the innocent in Gaza is wrong ( true) and Mr Trump believes one call to Putin- Russia, and or Ben -, Israel will stop the wars ( false ) the Ukraine and Gaza wars continue ( true )
Yes ,,You just got jerked around.
Putin and Ben will not stop doing what they want or get until they get it .
What do Putin and Ben want ?
I maybe wrong, my guess is Putin wants from Kyiv to Odessa down U95 and everything east of there , half a pie or none for Z , and Ben wants 10 million Jews to be left alone by 450 million Arabs ,,is that land that valuable? Ask the Donald,,, maybe he can do a deal for you all , a little jerking around might work out ok .but It's all kinda sad for many though in many ways ,,What do we got to lose,,? Good luck America have a great day my friends
As you pointed out, Putin is the aggressor, Israel was the victim of an unprovoked, vicious, despicable attack by subhumans who have forfeited the right to be allowed to live Nextdoor. There isn’t a country in the world that would tolerate being periodically attacked with a true, actual genocidal intent. And if Trump called me by my name I would need to run and check my birth certificate. We are now being “governed/pillaged” by a blowhard who couldn’t find his own mushroom on day 1.
This is one of the better Israelis and he still does the Israeli talk about the 'dangerous enemies.' Hamas is not heavily armed by modern military standards. They have no tanks, no artillery, no planes. They have guns? So what? They can't move past the fence without tanks. The only reason Israeli soldiers have been killed is because the military brazenly went into Gaza, unnecessarily. If they stayed in Israel, the soldiers would be fine. And going into Gaza didn't bring back hostages. The only answer was to negotiate, free Pal prisoners. Deal with it. Cut your losses. You screwed up. You didn't watch the fence. Next time, watch the fence.
Let's break the silence too on the falsehoods that Navdav repeated after a year and a half of brutal genocide! No push back on unproven claims of mass rape, and no mention of the IDF using the hannibal directive on the music festival which was being held just outside the Gaza concentration camp. Please stop painting these people as innocent and light. Israel has been killing Palestinians for 75 years without any push back or hardly any news coverage. The man was a sniper. All Israelis serve in the IDF. They are not ignorant bystanders. They are active participants. They are a short drive away where people are being starved, maimed and slaughtered every day. A pure hell-scape.
European Jews did not have to conquer an already populated land in another region after the holocaust. They could have migrated to Palestine and lived in peace with their neighbors and move society forward in a good way to show us all how we should live in harmony. They did not have to build a nation state based on supremacy, oppression and weaponry.
If I get more of this by the Radio Hour, I'm outta here.
Yes. you are right. He repeated a lot of propaganda. However, it was interesting and sad to hear how far he was, even with years of work, from being humane or empathetic. Perhaps too painful to admit to himself that he is a child killer. Like an alcoholic in a 12 step program or a reformed KKK wizard one had the feeling that he was struggling to not only say humane things but also to be humane. All too often he parroted the usual propaganda and tropes and lacked humility or even empathy. revelatory and perhaps useful to know what type of challenge we are dealing with if we want to see an end to the genocide. If he is one of the "good ones" then we are in deep trouble. Unlikely that the solution will come from inside Israel. It will require massive external BDS and sanctions. No more Israeli speakers, academics, business people, dual citizens hiding out in the US, etc. In fact I would favor not letting Israelis enter the US or Europe until they stop the genocide and prohibit Americans from travelling there but I digress..
Ralph Nader, when we were kids you were a hero for taking on the Big 3. Then you ran for president and the deep state went after you like piranha.
So, out of respect for what you did, I offer the following facts, not conjecture.
1. I am former Naval Officer assigned to the NSA.
2. I have a PhD in Macroeconomics, and know what Dutch banker Ronald Bernard said in 2017 was true, with former asst SEC of HUD Catherine Fitts discussing the BIS with Tucker Carlson recently.
3. Chicago Jewish mafia Henry Crown was the catalyst for JFK's assassination.
4. Mossad shot from the Dal-Tex building, which is why Zapruder didn't film from that building, where his office was. Zapruder went to a horrid spot to film the motorcade, but a great spot to film the triangulation-of-fire from James Angleton's CIA shooters. Unfortunately for Zapruder's insipid plot. Sam Giancana secretly sent a shooter to Dallas and from the storm drain took almost half of the right side of JFK's head off. This shot is why Secret Service were ordered to take the original Zapruder film to Hawk-Eye Works to alter, after CIA photo-analyst Dino Brugioni had seen the original with part of JFK's scalp clearly above his head. That can't happen with a copper-cased rifle bullet from the grassy knoll.
5. Jewish supremacist Arlen Specter invented the single bullet theory because the Mossad hit JFK in the upper back (the shot that Gerard Ford moved to the back on the neck when on the Warren Commission) and then missed the motorcade and almost hit James Tague in the foot.
6. French assassin shot from the overpass--that is why JFK's hands go to his throat, rather than one had to the back of the neck.
7. Italian mafia--I think from New Orleans--shot from the grassy knoll but storm drain shot obscures grassy knoll shot.
8. Cuban exile and another man in work clothes (maybe Ruth Paine's ex) on 6th Floor of T SBD. When JFK slumped toward Jackie, Cuban missed and hit Governor Connally.
9. Oswald was supposed to be a patsy and knew that. J Edgar Hoover and Angleton schemed to set-up Oswald so he could "escape" when in federal custody and then flee to Cuba. Bay of Pigs fiasco proved that assassinating Castro would not be enough because pro-Castro forces controlled Cuba. Oswald was supposed to feed CIA info on what a full-scale invasion would need to look like to regain Cuba, which was deemed imperative after the near disaster of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
10. I know JFK is a martyr now, but he was a womanizing jerk who almost cost the US their hegemony, and the Naval blockade worked because Khrushchev was too controlling of Castro, so Castro contacted US and wanted Soviet Union out of Cuba.
Bottom line: Ever since Jewish supremacists got away with assassinating a president, they have taken control of the US. This creep you are interviewing thinks Jews are God's chosen.
Nope. Can't just take IDF word for it. Show us the reports and the documentation. Have you seen it? Of course October 7th was awful and a lot of Palestinians and Israelis were killed, some even by the IDF that shelled houses and implemented their Hannibal protocol or whatever they called it. That was documented by Israeli newspapers and eyewitnesses. But even if what you said happened happened does it justify killing tens of thousands of children? And now subjecting them to famine? And the death totals are severely under reported. You do not drop 70,000 tons of ordnance on a place the size of Philadelphia with a 2.2M population density like NYC and not get far more casualties than 50K. There are 50 million tons of rubble. Think about it. MSF uses a 3-15: 1 indirect to direct ratio for deaths. Lancet paper estimated 186,000 last year using 4:1 and if you use 10 then you are in the 600,000 range. It is a genocide of considerable magnitude, the equivalent in US population of tens of millions of people. Apologizing for genocide, famine and apartheid does not age well...
If Hamas is more than a street gang, and they had 50,000 heavily-armed soldiers before Oct. 7, and it was a "very sophisticated attack," then why did only "hundreds of terrorists – *a significant proportion of the 3,000 or so who infiltrated with vans, cars and motorcycles from the sea, land and air,*" come through the border fence on Oct. 7, according to the Haaretz article, "The Women Soldiers Who Warned of a Pending Hamas Attack – and Were Ignored: Over the past year, the Israel Defense Forces’ spotters situated on the Gaza border, all women, warned that something unusual was happening. Those who survived the October 7 massacre are convinced that if it had been men sounding the alarm, things would look different today, by Yaniv Kubovich, Haaretz, Nov 20, 2023?? https://survivorbb.rapeutation.com/viewtopic.php?f=206&t=4305&start=90
There were only WOMEN spotters on the immediate other side of the fence, after all. And there's proof that the "terrorists" knew that. Yeah, WOMEN, and PEACE ACTIVISTS at the music festival, a fact that was also readily known. So there was no need for a small Hamas force in order to achieve tactical surprise and disrupt Israel's defense systems, because Israel HAD NO DEFENSE systems in place.
Hi team,
I'm sure I won't be the only listener pointing this out, but there is zero evidence to support even one case of rape commited by Hamas on Oct 7, let alone mass rapes. There is no audio visual evidence, no forensic evidence and no victims have been identified either living or dead.

Your guest, Mr. Weiman casually referred to mass rapes on Oct 7, which at this point anyone who has been following this nightmare honestly, knows definitely didn't happen. It is a lie that has been used to justify genocide, and at this point, everyone should know that.
I hope you guys can address his false accusation in an upcoming episode.

Just observing. . . .
More like just lying... There's no Palestinian ethnicity
Is there an Israeli ethnicity?
Since you're playing dumb, it's not worth my time debating you
The usual Israeli response, hostility, condescension, cynicism, and self worship. If my question isn't reasonable, then your statement isn't reasonable.
It’s possible he’s not playing. Hard to believe a person could be that dumb, but it’s possible…

What would ANY other country in the world do with a neighbor that has demonstrated over 75 years that they hate you more then they love their children, and they won’t stop trying to eradicate you from the face of the earth. I cannot imagine roaming the planet in such a state of absolute moral confusion which in and of itself is deeply immoral and offensive.
i hope other countries wouldn't put bullets in the heads of children, i hope they wouldn't bomb 32 hospitals, torture surgeons, kills 100s of members of the press, i believe israel is unique in all of these matters, what a sick place
free of israelis? who are those people who have encircled the pals with a blockade, who shoot pal. fisherman, who maimed 9,000 people who were protesting on the Gaza side of the fence and killed 250 others?
Astounds and astonishes? Perhaps I should have typed slower. And yes, any culture that joyfully rapes women - cutting off their breasts while still alive and being gang raped, tying married couples together; alternating torturous acts so each one can witness the horrific pain administered to their loved one - prior to throwing their infant into an oven to be burned alive, hacking off the head of a guest worker with a blunt gardening instrument requiring repeated blows - while still alive, taking hostages and murdering them to prevent them from being rescued including an infant and his mother, using a grandmother and holocaust survivor’s cell phone to photograph her bloodied body to send the images to her family, on and on - are indeed subhumans. And anyone who shows sympathy for these pieces of excrement are either morally confused or also subhumans. Sorry for referencing the holocaust - I’m sure you think that was a hoax as well and you must suffer for the poor Nazi perpetrators. You wouldn’t last 20 minutes living in Gaza. You could be beaten to death for the unforgivable crime of having your head uncovered. You like listening to the sons speak - then listen to the son of Hamas.
So what's the evidence? You are ranting and dropping your buzzwords, tell us nothing other than how propagandized you are.
How’s this for a buzzword - you’re an A-hole! Hamas joyfully filmed their unprovoked acts of sadistic savagery. The problem is you can’t see the evidence because your head is lodged so far up your “back door”, it couldn’t be extricated using the Jaws of Life and two sticks of dynamite.
what's the evidence? video, photos, testimony, medical results? We have seen none of it. What do you care about that? You only need to go by your strong opinions and feelings of superiority. That's all Joel needs.
Well said
Exactly. It's the Palestinian prisoners who are daily and constantly raped by Israeli soldiers in their medieval prisons. It is so hard to trust an Israeli soldier, or otherwise, to tell the truth of Israel in Palestine, the truth that we in America, not hindered by their EXTREME BIAS to their People and their State, know so well. And of course, in The Intercept's investigation of NYT's sensationalist article on the subject that gave so much legitimacy to this lie, "Screams Without Words’: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7," The Intercept showed that THE STORY had no witnesses, no forensic evidence, no reports, no proof, no bodies, only professional liars hired by Israel to do that dirty job, and a so-called "reporter", actually an Israeli filmmaker and former air force intelligence officer, sent to work with the NYT, who, no matter what information and proof SHE DID NOT FIND, at the end of each part of her investigation, when she found yet another proven liar of the story, just KNEW she was on to something very very bad. Just a really ridiculous woman, full of prejudices and nastiness.
and the holocaust never happened, gravity is just an illusion, and morons like Tara will believe any false narrative about Israel yet ignore the mountain of evidence that Hamas proudly recorded with their own Go-Pros. Well done moron.
Thank you Nadav Weiman for finding the courage of your convictions to speak out about what ‘Bibi’ and Israeli forces are doing… the torture and slaughter of innocent Palestinian children and women, men, doctors, EMT staff, nurses, journalists and many others.
Breaking The Silence. Com gives me hope!
Thank you Ralph and everyone for all you are doing to expose the horrific atrocities committed by Israeli forces led by Netanyahu. Yes, the numbers are many more thousands of innocent babies, children and families, adults, doctors, EMS staff, nurses, journalists and many more Palestinians.
These numbers must be exposed… since October 7, 2023 the numbers of innocent children targeted and killed. I believe the collapse was calculated. Netanyahu wanted a ‘conflict’… that word is an insult to the Palestinian people. What Israeli forces are doing is slaughtering babies, children, adults innocent Palestinians.
“Failure of intelligence but also failure of our government (Israel)”…. catastrophic failure is no longer the case… they are committing genocide. Witnessing the dehumanization of Palestinian people. Palestinians are thought of being sub-humans by the Israeli people. They are encouraged to be tortured, raped, and slaughtered. Shame on supposedly the “chosen ones “. They are doing what the Nazis led by Hitler did to the Jews in 1939 and onward. Netanyahu is the 21st century version of Hitler.
Thank you to the Israeli speaker on this podcast for the information he is providing to us so we can understand.
The abject stupidly of people like AnaMaria will be the eventual death of the west. Since when do we side with terrorists who hide behind their own people, who had almost two decades-left to their own devices- and hundreds of billions in aid to build a society that provides hope and prosperity for their people. Instead, they built tunnels - that they didn’t use to protect their own people-incited a conflict knowingly what the response would justifiably be, and used their own people as cannon fodder for PR purposes to gain sympathy from ignoramuses like AnaMarie. They gang raped women - cutting off their breasts during the act in some cases, burned babies alive, murdered parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents, took hostages including an infant who died or was murdered along with his mother in captivity. THIS was an act of genocide! Shame on Ralph whom I considered a national treasure, and shame on the morally confused ignoramuses siding with brutal genocidal terrorists.
You accuse her of “abject stupidity”? 1200 dead Israeli citizens(including a good number of soldiers and police) some of whom as Israeli journalists have determined were killed by Israeli forces? So if you say this indicates genocidal intent, what do you—putting on the hat of “neutral intelligence” just for the moment—call the response of Israel onto the Palestinians in the concentrated area of Gaza? Obviously members of Hamas have been killed. But surely you will have to admit that a newborn infant or an emmaciated three year old dying of hunger would not have the strength to pull the trigger on a rifle or rocket nor even to push the tab on a computer keyboard as one of your soldiers might do seeing a child digging in the rubble. WHAT IN THÉ NAME OF ALL THAT IS HUMAN AND HOLY DO YOU CALL THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION OF GAZANS AND GAZA? DO YOU STILL WANT TO CALL IT SELF-DEFENSE?
Israel has gotten away scot-free with its violations of humanitarian law and its willful ignoring of its pledges when it became a member of the UN, up until the present day.
It is amazing to me what a name like Joel Jacobs will do to lower the empathetic and cognitive level of the poor victim who bears it.
He's just a zionist clown who can't stop shouting.
""It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Ralph stopped being credible when he came out in favor of ruzzia following its invasion Ukraine in 2014.
Not at all. The Ukraine war is the fault of the USA. Ralph is right.
And did you suddenly become smarter than Ralph at that moment? I doubt it. I don't know anything about Ralph taking the part of Russia but I assure you of this, when Ralph promotes something that I find surprising, I will first reexamine my biases, not Ralph's. That's what it means to admire someone's intellectual gifts from afar. Ralph is exposed to people and knowledge I will never have access to. He may find surprising revelations that he shares. Neither you nor I have ironclad knowledge of any political topic which could not change given the introduction of new sources. I am always on edge, wondering what element of my supposed knowledge actually came out of government or corporate or lobbyist propaganda.
Any reasonable person would side with a country who has enemies like America at its borders.
Dang Ralph, after all these years you’re still sharp as a tack! I appreciated your excellent questions during this interview!?!!Thank you!! PS! Tell us all what you’re doing to stay so sharp! 😀Cheers!?
Wow www.justiceforliberty.org
Has this group testified to any one in Congress?
Have you ever been jerked around and didn't know it ? Has anyone ever said something to you and later changed his or her mind knowing in the first place what they said to you was bull shit and you fell hook line and sinker and then found out later you got screwed when the truth was revealed.
Sometimes people get jacked around so much they can't tell what is true,false or fake.
Take Mr Trump, people shouldn't be dieing in Ukraine ( true) on day one when I get elected the killing will stop ( false ) Mr Trump, I will stop the war in Gaza on day one of my election ( false) the Gaza war continues ( true ) .
You see good intentions can be deceving.let's assume Mr Trump believes the blood baths in Ukraine or the deaths of the innocent in Gaza is wrong ( true) and Mr Trump believes one call to Putin- Russia, and or Ben -, Israel will stop the wars ( false ) the Ukraine and Gaza wars continue ( true )
Yes ,,You just got jerked around.
Putin and Ben will not stop doing what they want or get until they get it .
What do Putin and Ben want ?
I maybe wrong, my guess is Putin wants from Kyiv to Odessa down U95 and everything east of there , half a pie or none for Z , and Ben wants 10 million Jews to be left alone by 450 million Arabs ,,is that land that valuable? Ask the Donald,,, maybe he can do a deal for you all , a little jerking around might work out ok .but It's all kinda sad for many though in many ways ,,What do we got to lose,,? Good luck America have a great day my friends
As you pointed out, Putin is the aggressor, Israel was the victim of an unprovoked, vicious, despicable attack by subhumans who have forfeited the right to be allowed to live Nextdoor. There isn’t a country in the world that would tolerate being periodically attacked with a true, actual genocidal intent. And if Trump called me by my name I would need to run and check my birth certificate. We are now being “governed/pillaged” by a blowhard who couldn’t find his own mushroom on day 1.
Here's my essay on I-P. I think many Americans haven't a clue about the history of the conflict. https://dusti.substack.com/p/anti-genocide-is-not-antisemitism?r=h3hwp&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&fbclid=IwY2xjawKVunxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFld3ZsZkY1bFVmZWlQN2hvAR5ADIOgoF-sDVugKp25aarq_YxaOLSLSCJNV-y_HcsEgeo-RUDciIhlFs2_Kw_aem_-CBjbGQ2GhIHhJtQmeLD5A&triedRedirect=true
A sniper and even a repentant sniper is a worthless piece of crap.
Bibi’s behaving like a fanatical fool, is all.
This is one of the better Israelis and he still does the Israeli talk about the 'dangerous enemies.' Hamas is not heavily armed by modern military standards. They have no tanks, no artillery, no planes. They have guns? So what? They can't move past the fence without tanks. The only reason Israeli soldiers have been killed is because the military brazenly went into Gaza, unnecessarily. If they stayed in Israel, the soldiers would be fine. And going into Gaza didn't bring back hostages. The only answer was to negotiate, free Pal prisoners. Deal with it. Cut your losses. You screwed up. You didn't watch the fence. Next time, watch the fence.
Let's break the silence too on the falsehoods that Navdav repeated after a year and a half of brutal genocide! No push back on unproven claims of mass rape, and no mention of the IDF using the hannibal directive on the music festival which was being held just outside the Gaza concentration camp. Please stop painting these people as innocent and light. Israel has been killing Palestinians for 75 years without any push back or hardly any news coverage. The man was a sniper. All Israelis serve in the IDF. They are not ignorant bystanders. They are active participants. They are a short drive away where people are being starved, maimed and slaughtered every day. A pure hell-scape.
European Jews did not have to conquer an already populated land in another region after the holocaust. They could have migrated to Palestine and lived in peace with their neighbors and move society forward in a good way to show us all how we should live in harmony. They did not have to build a nation state based on supremacy, oppression and weaponry.
If I get more of this by the Radio Hour, I'm outta here.
Good riddens
Yes. you are right. He repeated a lot of propaganda. However, it was interesting and sad to hear how far he was, even with years of work, from being humane or empathetic. Perhaps too painful to admit to himself that he is a child killer. Like an alcoholic in a 12 step program or a reformed KKK wizard one had the feeling that he was struggling to not only say humane things but also to be humane. All too often he parroted the usual propaganda and tropes and lacked humility or even empathy. revelatory and perhaps useful to know what type of challenge we are dealing with if we want to see an end to the genocide. If he is one of the "good ones" then we are in deep trouble. Unlikely that the solution will come from inside Israel. It will require massive external BDS and sanctions. No more Israeli speakers, academics, business people, dual citizens hiding out in the US, etc. In fact I would favor not letting Israelis enter the US or Europe until they stop the genocide and prohibit Americans from travelling there but I digress..
Bye bye
fo
Smell ya later
Ralph Nader, when we were kids you were a hero for taking on the Big 3. Then you ran for president and the deep state went after you like piranha.
So, out of respect for what you did, I offer the following facts, not conjecture.
1. I am former Naval Officer assigned to the NSA.
2. I have a PhD in Macroeconomics, and know what Dutch banker Ronald Bernard said in 2017 was true, with former asst SEC of HUD Catherine Fitts discussing the BIS with Tucker Carlson recently.
3. Chicago Jewish mafia Henry Crown was the catalyst for JFK's assassination.
4. Mossad shot from the Dal-Tex building, which is why Zapruder didn't film from that building, where his office was. Zapruder went to a horrid spot to film the motorcade, but a great spot to film the triangulation-of-fire from James Angleton's CIA shooters. Unfortunately for Zapruder's insipid plot. Sam Giancana secretly sent a shooter to Dallas and from the storm drain took almost half of the right side of JFK's head off. This shot is why Secret Service were ordered to take the original Zapruder film to Hawk-Eye Works to alter, after CIA photo-analyst Dino Brugioni had seen the original with part of JFK's scalp clearly above his head. That can't happen with a copper-cased rifle bullet from the grassy knoll.
5. Jewish supremacist Arlen Specter invented the single bullet theory because the Mossad hit JFK in the upper back (the shot that Gerard Ford moved to the back on the neck when on the Warren Commission) and then missed the motorcade and almost hit James Tague in the foot.
6. French assassin shot from the overpass--that is why JFK's hands go to his throat, rather than one had to the back of the neck.
7. Italian mafia--I think from New Orleans--shot from the grassy knoll but storm drain shot obscures grassy knoll shot.
8. Cuban exile and another man in work clothes (maybe Ruth Paine's ex) on 6th Floor of T SBD. When JFK slumped toward Jackie, Cuban missed and hit Governor Connally.
9. Oswald was supposed to be a patsy and knew that. J Edgar Hoover and Angleton schemed to set-up Oswald so he could "escape" when in federal custody and then flee to Cuba. Bay of Pigs fiasco proved that assassinating Castro would not be enough because pro-Castro forces controlled Cuba. Oswald was supposed to feed CIA info on what a full-scale invasion would need to look like to regain Cuba, which was deemed imperative after the near disaster of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
10. I know JFK is a martyr now, but he was a womanizing jerk who almost cost the US their hegemony, and the Naval blockade worked because Khrushchev was too controlling of Castro, so Castro contacted US and wanted Soviet Union out of Cuba.
Bottom line: Ever since Jewish supremacists got away with assassinating a president, they have taken control of the US. This creep you are interviewing thinks Jews are God's chosen.
The claim of Jews controlling America is the oldest trope in American history.
Not buying into that argument.
except that it's largely true
Oh Lordy - they’re coming out of the woodwork now.
One question for Knight Templar - how long have you been off your meds?
Another leftist hater
Horrendous!
Nope. Can't just take IDF word for it. Show us the reports and the documentation. Have you seen it? Of course October 7th was awful and a lot of Palestinians and Israelis were killed, some even by the IDF that shelled houses and implemented their Hannibal protocol or whatever they called it. That was documented by Israeli newspapers and eyewitnesses. But even if what you said happened happened does it justify killing tens of thousands of children? And now subjecting them to famine? And the death totals are severely under reported. You do not drop 70,000 tons of ordnance on a place the size of Philadelphia with a 2.2M population density like NYC and not get far more casualties than 50K. There are 50 million tons of rubble. Think about it. MSF uses a 3-15: 1 indirect to direct ratio for deaths. Lancet paper estimated 186,000 last year using 4:1 and if you use 10 then you are in the 600,000 range. It is a genocide of considerable magnitude, the equivalent in US population of tens of millions of people. Apologizing for genocide, famine and apartheid does not age well...
If Hamas is more than a street gang, and they had 50,000 heavily-armed soldiers before Oct. 7, and it was a "very sophisticated attack," then why did only "hundreds of terrorists – *a significant proportion of the 3,000 or so who infiltrated with vans, cars and motorcycles from the sea, land and air,*" come through the border fence on Oct. 7, according to the Haaretz article, "The Women Soldiers Who Warned of a Pending Hamas Attack – and Were Ignored: Over the past year, the Israel Defense Forces’ spotters situated on the Gaza border, all women, warned that something unusual was happening. Those who survived the October 7 massacre are convinced that if it had been men sounding the alarm, things would look different today, by Yaniv Kubovich, Haaretz, Nov 20, 2023?? https://survivorbb.rapeutation.com/viewtopic.php?f=206&t=4305&start=90
There were only WOMEN spotters on the immediate other side of the fence, after all. And there's proof that the "terrorists" knew that. Yeah, WOMEN, and PEACE ACTIVISTS at the music festival, a fact that was also readily known. So there was no need for a small Hamas force in order to achieve tactical surprise and disrupt Israel's defense systems, because Israel HAD NO DEFENSE systems in place.
Your point, moron?
