Transcript

0:00

Israel's sway over Washington is now

0:02

stronger than ever and as we witness

0:03

college campuses throughout the US erupt

0:05

in protests against the war in Gaza one

0:08

thing is clear we are reaching a

0:09

Breaking Point and something major is

0:11

about to happen these protests which

0:13

started at Columbia University in New

0:15

York have now inspired students around

0:17

the globe solidarity encampments have

0:19

sprung up at over 40 colleges in the

0:21

United States and as far abroad as

0:23

universities in Cairo Paris and Sydney

0:26

as each day passes it's becoming

0:28

abundantly clear that if the US

0:30

continues to support the brutality in

0:32

Gaza by sending money and weapons to

0:33

Israel this could be the X Factor that

0:36

eventually leads to the removal of Joe

0:38

Biden from the White House just listen

0:40

to this amazing video from Medi Hassan

0:42

by far one of the most accurate and

0:44

truthful voices speaking out on the

0:46

Palestinian conflict you know we see

0:48

this stuff we see all these he doesn't

0:49

like Netanyahu he's very upset behind

0:51

the scenes a lot of leaks to Barack

0:52

Ravine and other reporters great come

0:54

out and say it in public come out and

0:56

say it in public and come out and do

0:57

something about it also politically who

1:00

in this country likes Benjamin Netanyahu

1:02

why are you going to bat for Benjamin

1:04

Netanyahu why are you risking American

1:05

democracy for Benjamin Netanyahu why are

1:07

you risking your reelection for Benjamin

1:09

nety why how can anyone argue with these

1:12

comments why are we risking the future

1:13

of the United States to please one man

1:16

the evidence is abundantly clear that

1:18

American voters are increasingly opposed

1:20

to Israel's brutal Onslaught into Gaza

1:22

and in favor of an immediate ceasefire

1:24

but what makes things even worse for

1:26

Biden is that the most important segment

1:28

of the US population voters between the

1:30

ages of 18 to 35 have turned against him

1:34

and the US government because of social

1:36

media apps like Tik toac oh wait maybe

1:38

that's why they want to ban it the truth

1:40

can no longer be hidden and for the

1:42

first time in history Carnage

1:43

destruction and genocide are only a few

1:46

clicks away on your phone of course the

1:48

White House Congressional Republicans

1:50

and Talking Heads from cable networks

1:52

want you to believe these student

1:53

protesters are engaging in anti-semitic

1:56

activities and targeting Jewish students

1:58

but the reality is completely different

2:01

you see this is where you have to do

2:02

some digging and research on what's

2:04

actually happening on the ground in

2:05

these protests because you can't just

2:07

rely on social media to stay informed

2:10

manipulative algorithms are often

2:11

designed to track our behaviors and feed

2:14

us information that reinforces our own

2:16

biases further polarizing our already

2:19

divided World which is why I partnered

2:21

with ground news to make today's video I

2:23

use their app and website every day in

2:25

my work to analyze the latest

2:27

geopolitical trends you can check them

2:29

out at round. news/ Cyrus or scan the QR

2:33

code on screen let me show you how it

2:35

works take for example the Columbia

2:37

University Pro Palestinian protests I

2:40

can instantly access nearly 270 articles

2:43

reporting on this from across the

2:45

political Spectrum with ground news I

2:47

can instantly compare how the media is

2:49

covering this story in one place without

2:51

having to check multiple Publications

2:54

for example I can see how New York

2:56

Magazine is pushing the story and

2:58

compare that to how is Israeli media

3:00

like heret are framing the story look at

3:03

these two examples what New York

3:05

officials are saying about the Columbia

3:07

University protests by city and state

3:09

New York compared to this headline from

3:11

the national desk which reads NYPD Chief

3:15

rips AOC over Colombia Unity protest

3:17

response pure hatred two completely

3:20

different tones for the same story

3:23

depending on which one you read you

3:24

could have a very different

3:26

understanding of what's actually going

3:27

on everyone as a content creator you

3:29

know I only endorse products I've

3:31

personally used and I 100% believe that

3:34

ground news is an essential tool you

3:36

need to understand this complex world we

3:53

unfolding here with Columbia University

3:55

students it's actually quite simple they

3:58

want the university to stop aing

4:00

Israel's genocide this was clearly

4:02

demonstrated when 76.5% of Colombia

4:05

students voted this week for the

4:07

University's 13.6 billion endowment to

4:10

divest from Israel another 65% of

4:13

students voted to end Colombia's dual

4:15

degree program with Tel Aviv University

4:18

in Israel these protests have nothing to

4:20

do with supporting Hamas or being

4:22

against Jewish people instead it has

4:24

everything to do with supporting the

4:26

innocent lives in Palestine have these

4:28

Colombia students been violent well here

4:30

is the direct quote from NYPD chief of

4:32

Patrol John Chell the students that were

4:34

arrested were peaceful offered no

4:36

resistance whatsoever and were saying

4:38

what they wanted to say in a peaceful

4:40

manner in reality the protesters at

4:42

Columbia University have three simple

4:44

demands number one the University's

4:47

endowment to vest from all companies and

4:49

organizations that do business with

4:51

Israel or are profiting from the war

4:54

number two the university publishes a

4:56

list of all of its Investments number

4:58

three the School Grants amnesty for the

5:01

student protesters who have been

5:02

suspended in earlier crackdowns on gazar

5:04

related protests these demands are not

5:07

extravagant nor are they unreasonable

5:09

because of social media today's youth is

5:11

much more connected to the world around

5:13

them and the atrocities unfolding in

5:15

Gaza had become too much for most

5:17

Americans to now support but of course

5:19

what the American people want and what

5:21

the US government wants is two separate

5:24

things the US government is supposed to

5:26

be a government that represents the

5:27

people but President Biden has proven

5:29

the exact opposite as he believes

5:31

supporting Israel and its war is

5:33

undoubtedly the correct righteous path

5:35

for America but take a look at this

5:37

shocking new data recent polling by

5:39

yugov shows that over 50% of Americans

5:42

aged 18 to 29 believe Israel is

5:45

committing a genocide against the

5:47

Palestinian people and just about 40%

5:50

believe Israel is an aparti State Israel

5:53

has utterly alienated younger Americans

5:55

and once again this is why we are seeing

5:57

American Universities at the center of

5:59

the youth outrage against this war

6:01

however it's not just Young Americans

6:03

take a look at how American voters are

6:05

disapproving President Biden's handling

6:08

of the Israel Palestinian conflict in

6:10

mid November when a temporary ceasefire

6:12

began Americans were essentially split

6:14

down the middle in their support of

6:16

Israel but passed forward a few months

6:18

and the blue line of support has never

6:20

been farther away from the red line of

6:22

disapproval what this graph is simply

6:24

telling us is that the vast majority of

6:25

all Americans regardless of age have

6:28

turned against Israel's breath taking

6:29

brutality in Gaza and let's be honest

6:32

they are doing so for good reason as

6:34

netanyahu's cabinet is filled with

6:36

far-right religious extremists who

6:38

believe that Israel's brutality in Gaza

6:40

is fulfilling God's command think I'm

6:43

exaggerating according to the Book of

6:44

Joshua in the Hebrew Bible God promised

6:47

the land to the Jewish people and

6:48

instructed them to destroy other nations

6:50

living in the promised land this text is

6:52

used by extreme nationalists in Israel

6:54

today including the Israeli government

6:57

as well as many of the 700,000

7:00

or so Israeli settlers living in the

7:02

occupied Palestinian lands in violation

7:05

of international law Netanyahu is

7:07

pursuing the religious ideology of the

7:09

7th Century BC in the 21st century today

7:12

Netanyahu and his government is the most

7:14

extreme far-right and religiously

7:17

conservative in the nation's history and

7:19

most certainly of any democracy in the

7:21

world the simple truth is that the vast

7:23

majority of Americans are not in line

7:25

with Israel's religious zealots at the

7:27

highest levels of its government they

7:29

simply don't accept the biblical idea

7:30

that Israel should kill or expel the

7:32

people of Palestine from their own land

7:35

in a 2020 Pew survey only 32% of

7:38

American Jews believe that God gave the

7:40

land that is now Israel to the Jewish

7:43

people what's more 63% believed in the

7:45

feasibility of peace between Israel and

7:48

Palestine through the two-state solution

7:51

most notably there's long been a

7:53

significant and continuously growing

7:55

group of not in our name Jews in the US

7:58

but also across the world this group of

8:00

Jewish people are openly against

8:02

Israel's brutal Invasion and occupation

8:04

against Netanyahu and his extremist

8:06

government and are publicly calling for

8:08

an immediate ceasefire even the highest

8:10

ranking Jewish politician in the US

8:12

government Senate Majority Leader Chuck

8:14

Schumer took the brave step forward and

8:16

after months of contemplating what he

8:18

should do Schumer finally had the

8:20

courage to call out Netanyahu and ask

8:22

for his removal as a lifelong supporter

8:25

of Israel it has become clear to me the

8:27

Netanyahu Coalition know no longer fits

8:30

the needs of Israel after October 7th

8:33

prime minister Netanyahu has lost his

8:36

way by allowing his political survival

8:39

to take the precedence over the best

8:41

interests of Israel so if Americans are

8:44

increasingly turning against Israel what

8:46

about the rest of the world actually

8:48

Israel's extraordinary brutality in Gaza

8:50

is uniting the entire world against it

8:53

in a recent un general assembly vote 174

8:56

countries which represents 94% of the

8:58

world po population voted in favor of

9:01

political self-determination for

9:03

Palestine while only four countries

9:05

including Israel and the United States

9:07

voted against it the world's alignment

9:09

against Israel is now reaching a Zenith

9:12

as multiple countries have formerly

9:13

called out the country and accused it of

9:15

ethnic cleansing amongst other war

9:18

crimes the New York Times recently broke

9:20

this story that Israeli officials

9:21

believe the international criminal court

9:24

is preparing arrest warrants over the

9:26

war the officials said that they

9:27

believed that prime minister Ben

9:29

Netanyahu and other Israelis could be

9:32

charged this is just another major blow

9:34

to Israel after the international court

9:36

of justice has already determined Israel

9:39

is plausibly committing genocide the

9:41

truth is that Israel has now become

9:43

increasingly isolated from the rest of

9:45

the world and now depends entirely on

9:47

its remaining true supporter and enabler

9:49

of the war which of course is the United

9:52

States why is the US government

9:53

stubbornly maintaining its position of

9:55

unconditional support for Israel and its

9:58

appetite for war and dest destruction

10:00

even though Americans and indeed the

10:01

world are increasingly against it the

10:04

truth is disturbing although likely not

10:06

surprising to those who know how the US

10:08

government really works and who the real

10:10

power is in Washington President Biden

10:12

in fact knows that world opinion is

10:14

Shifting against him in Israel and he

10:16

knows that he's bleeding young voters by

10:18

continuing to unconditionally support

10:20

Israel however the dark reality is that

10:22

neither he nor anyone else in the US

10:24

government has the capacity to change

10:26

course the shocking truth is that Israel

10:28

and Benjamin netan who hold immense

10:31

power over the US government and its

10:33

foreign policy but the bizarre fact here

10:35

is that Joe Biden is literally

10:36

supporting a foreign government and

10:38

prime minister who doesn't even want to

10:40

see him be reelected as US president

10:43

once again here is Medi Hassan telling

10:45

the truth of the situation who does

10:46

Benjamin Netanyahu and itar benav want

10:49

to be the next president of the United

10:50

States they say Trump so from that

10:53

perspective as critical as I am of Joe

10:55

Biden and I very very critical of Joe

10:56

Biden on this issue the reality is the

10:58

people we loath I think most of us loath

11:01

in the Israeli government they want

11:02

Donald Trump to be president so I think

11:03

we should bear that in mind when we go

11:04

to the polling stations so even though

11:06

us voters are showing their frustration

11:08

with Biden by threatening to vote

11:10

someone else in office the alternative

11:12

in Donald Trump is even worse but this

11:14

is what American democracy Now

11:16

represents a choice between bad and bad

11:19

and most importantly no chance at a

11:21

positive change in the future it seems

11:23

bizarre that a tiny country of less than

11:25

10 million people could keep the world's

11:27

biggest military superpower in in such a

11:29

Chokehold but here we are of course a

11:32

central component of this power is the

11:34

incredibly powerful Israel Lobby the

11:36

lead organization of which is the

11:38

American Israel public affairs committee

11:41

or AI Pac this organization holds

11:43

tremendous power over the president of

11:45

the United States and the US Congress

11:47

and once again we have a powerful

11:49

lobbying group having a tremendous sway

11:52

over us politicians the Israeli Lobby

11:54

has spent vast sums of money in campaign

11:56

contributions to ensure that prois Isel

11:59

policies always Prevail and aipac's

12:02

long-running success is to turn millions

12:04

of dollars of campaign contributions

12:06

into billions of dollars of us Aid to

12:09

Israel currently aipac aims to turn

12:12

around a100 million of campaign funding

12:14

for the November presidential election

12:17

into a $16 billion supplemental Aid

12:19

package for Israel to give you an idea

12:21

of just how much power Israel and the

12:23

aipac have over the US government

12:26

consider that in private many US

12:28

politicians even President Biden himself

12:30

have actually become increasingly

12:32

frustrated with Netanyahu President

12:34

Biden has said he's trying to get Israel

12:36

to agree to a ceasefire but according to

12:38

Aids close to the President Biden

12:40

recently stated in private that

12:41

Netanyahu is giving him hell and is

12:44

impossible to deal with in public

12:46

however it's a very different story

12:48

remember the clip from Medi Hanan

12:49

earlier anyone can criticize someone

12:51

behind closed doors but we need an

12:53

American president who has the guts to

12:56

say it publicly and actually make a

12:58

change while the Administration has

13:00

recently made some statements showing

13:01

concern over Israel's war path they

13:03

frankly been too little too late and

13:06

simply pathetic given the Carnage and

13:07

war crimes currently unfolding in Gaza

13:10

just take Anthony blinken's statement in

13:11

Tel Aviv on February 7th which proved

13:14

just how unwilling the US government is

13:16

to criticize much less restrain Israel

13:19

it will be up to the Israelis to decide

13:21

what they want to do when they want to

13:23

do it how they want to do it no one's

13:25

going to make those decisions for them

13:27

all that we can do is to show what the

13:29

possibilities are what the options are

13:31

what the future could be and compare it

13:34

to the alternative and the alternative

13:36

right now looks like an endless cycle of

13:38

violence and destruction and despair so

13:40

basically Anthony blinkin said we'll

13:42

show you the bad outcomes but no worries

13:44

it's your call and you can of course

13:46

just continue to do what you want to do

13:48

or take Biden's recent pathetic proposal

13:50

for a ceasefire in which he called a

13:51

ceasefire as soon as practicable

13:54

whatever that means of course in

13:55

practice it would mean that Israel could

13:57

simply declare a ceasefire to be

13:59

impactable but in reality the US

14:01

government's actions speak much louder

14:03

than its words it recently enacted a ban

14:05

on the aid to the

14:07

unrwa the largest relief agency in Gaza

14:10

until 2025 even as the entire population

14:13

of Gaza is now starving what's more the

14:15

Biden Administration just greenlighted

14:17

yet another military aid package to

14:19

Israel of almost $4 billion the sad

14:22

truth is that Biden is caught between

14:24

the powerful Israeli Lobby and the

14:26

opinion of the American voters and

14:28

indeed of the world Community however

14:30

his actions clearly reveal that it is

14:32

Netanyahu not Biden or much less the

14:34

American voter who still calls the shots

14:37

in Washington and it's become abundantly

14:39

clear that Biden must oblig to Israel's

14:41

demands for more us bombs and weapons

14:43

even if it means destroying his chances

14:45

of getting reelected the simple truth is

14:47

that no matter how much power Israel

14:49

Netanyahu or the aipac May hold in

14:52

Washington the Biden Administration

14:54

could end this war tomorrow if it simply

14:56

grew a pair said enough is enough and

14:58

declared that it's cutting off Israel

15:00

from any further aid until it agrees to

15:02

an immediate ceasefire and a two-state

15:04

solution simply put this scale of

15:06

Devastation is only possible because of

15:08

a huge financial political and Military

15:11

Support from the United States President

15:13

Biden needs to take back US policy from

15:15

the Israeli Lobby the US should stop

15:17

backing Israel's extremist and utterly

15:20

illegal policies it should stop spending

15:22

any more funds on Israel unless and

15:24

until Israel lives within international

15:27

law including the genocide convention

15:28

ion and 21st century ethics Biden should

15:31

side with the UN Security Council in

15:33

calling for an immediate ceasefire and

15:35

indeed in calling for an immediate move

15:37

to the two-state solution including

15:39

recognition of Palestine as the 194th UN

15:42

member State a move that is more than a

15:45

decade overdue since Palestine requested
