Is the media nurturing anti-Semitic sentiments under the guise of objective reporting? We challenge conventional narratives and explore the dissonance in the portrayal of anti-Semitism across global politics and major media outlets. By questioning the motivations behind the media's portrayal of hostages versus prisoners, we highlight the inconsistencies and contradictions that are often swept under the rug. Our candid discussions dig into the deeper, often overlooked biases that shape public perception, with a particular focus on the roles of groups like Hamas. This episode urges listeners to confront the unsettling realities of media bias and its potential to overlook or even foster dangerous ideologies.
00:00:01.423 --> 00:00:07.384 Wow, can you believe it, dave?
00:00:07.384 --> 00:00:08.489 It's Friday.
00:00:08.489 --> 00:00:11.830 I didn't think this week was going to end.
00:00:11.830 --> 00:00:17.853 It just kept going and going and going and going and going.
00:00:17.853 --> 00:00:20.647 Yes, David, I got the volume control over here.
00:00:20.647 --> 00:00:22.024 I play with everything.
00:00:22.024 --> 00:00:23.370 I got the toys.
00:00:23.952 --> 00:01:17.034 You know, in the green room we were talking about, how you know, I guess we're going to call it the perception of anti-Semitism and the actual act of anti-Semitism and the portrayal of things that are anti-Semitism, calling people Hitler-like, calling people Hitler-like, calling people Nazis you know, taking a picture from Elon Musk giving you love, you guys, you know but failing and calling them like Nazi and Hitler, but failing to bring up that, like Obama and Hillary and the likes of them all, but without outrage, and because it's without outrage, it's forgotten.
00:01:17.034 --> 00:01:24.349 We only remember this guy that we're pointing out in the media, which, by the way, seems to be pretty damn racist.
00:01:24.349 --> 00:01:26.534 Why do I say that?
00:01:26.534 --> 00:01:45.746 Because before they were yelling from the river to the sea, they were chanting on campuses, they were invading schools, but now there's a peace agreement or there's an amnesty, as we discussed earlier last week.
00:01:45.746 --> 00:01:55.332 Three hostages get released, ninety prisoners that are convicted felons are released.
00:01:55.332 --> 00:01:57.984 There's chanting in the street.
00:01:57.984 --> 00:02:03.165 Thank God they let go of all these prisoners, three, by the way, three raped.
00:02:03.165 --> 00:02:09.360 But three by the way, three raped.
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:41.724 One girl was missing two fingers because they were shot off, beaten for 400 plus days in captivity, but then again, you know, it's these prisoners that were fed three square meals a day, allowed to pray, having a nice warm bed to sleep in, paying cards, dominoes, chest smash, but the real prisoners, the ones that were abducted on October 7th, it's being diminished.
00:02:41.724 --> 00:02:43.289 Welcome everybody.
00:02:43.289 --> 00:02:52.323 That was a really long intro that I really didn't quite want to stop at and, david, let me go because for the few times I'm actually saying something he agrees with.
00:02:53.546 --> 00:02:58.262 The Rant Network is a go-to podcast with unfiltered, unapologetic discussions.
00:02:58.262 --> 00:03:07.811 It's hosted by again myself, stuart Priskell, and that's David Sullivan, and we tackle a diverse range of topics with very candid conversation and bold opinions.
00:03:07.811 --> 00:03:09.713 Where it's lacking, pretty much.
00:03:09.713 --> 00:03:21.256 Whether it's breaking down the latest headlines, exploring pop culture, debating politics or delving into the complexities of modern life, this is a platform for every perspective.
00:03:21.256 --> 00:03:23.126 Grab a seat, settle in and join us on this journey.
00:03:23.126 --> 00:03:23.789 Another thought-provoking rant.
00:03:23.789 --> 00:03:25.037 Welcome a seat, settle in and join us on this journey.
00:03:25.037 --> 00:03:26.061 Another thought-provoking rant.
00:03:29.126 --> 00:03:33.171 Your voice matters, david.
00:03:33.171 --> 00:04:03.567 I know that you're articulated over the last 400 plus days since October the 8th, your disdain towards the media and the portrayal of this so-called freedom, fighting Palestinians and the release of our hostages, and, obviously, my disagreement with the process, because that's only going to prolong this nightmare.
00:04:03.567 --> 00:04:08.335 But, david, I got to give you at least 10 minutes today.
00:04:08.580 --> 00:04:09.463 Oh, thank you so much.
00:04:09.463 --> 00:04:13.831 All right, folks, let me let me ask this question, because Stuart kind of didn't.
00:04:13.831 --> 00:04:15.719 He got you there.
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.271 But let me finish the question and then I'll ask, then I'll go into it.
00:04:19.271 --> 00:04:24.713 When will the world admit that this wasn't about saving Palestinians but about antisemitism?
00:04:24.713 --> 00:04:36.812 When will the world finally admit that all of this propaganda that they've been shoveling from media to politicians, to the entertainers is really about anti-Semitism?
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:47.925 And I'll give you a few examples, folks, because you know, when you listen to the hypocrisy, the contradictions thrusted by Hamas, that of course the media just reports without question.
00:04:47.925 --> 00:04:56.151 So, for example, oh, don't worry about the hostages, the Red Cross doesn't have to be here, they're being well fed, but there's a famine in Gaza.
00:04:56.151 --> 00:04:57.375 Which is it?
00:04:57.375 --> 00:05:02.223 Gaza is an open-air prison, they declared, but at the same time they said Gaza was paradise before 10-7.
00:05:02.223 --> 00:05:04.331 They declared, but at the same time they said Gaza was paradise before 10-7.
00:05:04.331 --> 00:05:07.264 The Holocaust never happened.
00:05:07.264 --> 00:05:13.389 Hitler was right Globalize the Intifada, but now you want a ceasefire.
00:05:13.389 --> 00:05:18.702 Israel's lying about October 7, yet it was the proudest day in Hamas history.
00:05:18.702 --> 00:05:22.744 And we'll do it over again, from the river to the sea.
00:05:22.744 --> 00:05:24.028 Two-state solution.
00:05:24.028 --> 00:05:27.769 Why are we not calling out these contradictions?
00:05:27.769 --> 00:05:37.831 Because if the flip-flopping is done to try to manipulate, you manipulate people in the West, the useful idiots that we're called.
00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:43.951 Now, if you think I'm exaggerating this, let me give you a clear example of the BBC's latest reporting of last Sunday.
00:05:43.951 --> 00:05:52.302 As Stuart clearly said, three wonderful young ladies were released, young ladies, two of them who went sorry.
00:05:52.302 --> 00:05:56.713 One went to the Nova Festival and two were kidnapped from their beds at home.
00:05:56.713 --> 00:06:09.968 Let me just remind you that one went to a concert and the other two were kidnapped from their beds because that's war, and the other two were kidnapped from their beds because that's war, and they were released last Sunday in exchange for 90 prisoners 30 prisoners each.
00:06:10.889 --> 00:06:19.002 Now, we're talking about young ladies versus terrorists, oh, but the BBC doesn't agree with me.
00:06:19.002 --> 00:06:21.790 You see, the BBC, for example, talked about Khalida Jarrah.
00:06:21.790 --> 00:06:31.310 For example, khalida Jarrah, according to them, was not a terrorist, but a politician from the Palestinian Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
00:06:31.310 --> 00:06:37.007 Okay, jailed after the October 7th attack as if this person was innocent.
00:06:37.007 --> 00:06:42.286 This person is far from innocent, folks, because after her release, it was.
00:06:42.286 --> 00:06:42.728 You know.
00:06:42.728 --> 00:06:50.514 She was arrested in 2015 and charged with being a member of the PFLP and inciting people to kidnap Israeli soldiers.
00:06:50.514 --> 00:06:55.187 She confessed to those charges and, under the terms of a plea bargain, she got 15 months.
00:06:55.187 --> 00:07:04.928 She was rearrested again in October of 2019 after the terror attack, and once again she confessed to those charges and got 24 months Right.
00:07:04.928 --> 00:07:07.172 And on, and on, and on and on.
00:07:07.172 --> 00:07:16.038 But the BBC decided this person was a politician Playing to your folks, to your emotional.
00:07:17.781 --> 00:07:22.785 Now a lot of these people are willing to say that the PFLP is not a terrorist organization.
00:07:22.785 --> 00:07:32.370 They're just a political movement movement.
00:07:32.370 --> 00:07:33.232 When will we get over this people?
00:07:33.232 --> 00:07:37.199 I'll ask another question when will the universities finally stop with their protests inside the universities?
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:44.038 When will they stop, you know, intimidating Jewish students or any pro-Israel student?
00:07:44.038 --> 00:07:44.399 Why?
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.283 When are we going to stop this?
00:07:46.711 --> 00:07:50.769 I thought this was about a ceasefire in gaza, but instead it's not.
00:07:50.769 --> 00:07:51.752 The ceasefire is there.
00:07:51.752 --> 00:07:54.218 Despite what stewart has said, there is a ceasefire.
00:07:54.218 --> 00:07:59.341 It's tenuous at best, at best, and if one more person called the peace process, I'm going to punch him in the face.
00:07:59.341 --> 00:08:02.838 It's not a peace process, because you can't have peace with terrorists.
00:08:02.838 --> 00:08:03.740 Let's just get real.
00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:06.014 It's an armistice agreement.
00:08:06.014 --> 00:08:07.035 You keep calling it that.
00:08:07.035 --> 00:08:13.204 I don't, but the world wants to call it what it wants to call it and again it just shows you it is not real, it's political.
00:08:13.204 --> 00:08:15.697 It's anti-Semitism at its best.
00:08:16.930 --> 00:08:22.122 You've got politicians on the left who continue to say we should stop arming Israel.
00:08:22.122 --> 00:08:27.541 From AOC to Bernie Sanders in the United States.
00:08:27.541 --> 00:08:29.069 You have it here in Canada.
00:08:29.069 --> 00:08:36.791 You have them walking around wearing political symbols on purpose Governments.
00:08:36.791 --> 00:08:41.500 You know, one of the things that I applaud the Trump administration is that they stopped all.
00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:50.114 For the next 90 days, there will be a freeze on supporting, you know, other areas, except for Israel and Ukraine, which is really impressive for the Ukraine, but that's another story.
00:08:50.114 --> 00:09:01.774 But the Trump administration has recognized, from Donald Trump to Marco Rubio, to Elise Stefanik, to the rest, what it really is, and Elise Stefanik has called it out it's anti-Semitism.
00:09:01.774 --> 00:09:03.337 People, stop, you know.
00:09:03.337 --> 00:09:10.669 You can put lipstick on this pig, but this pig is all about anti-Semitism and the left has let it fester.
00:09:11.350 --> 00:09:24.166 Stuart, the great irony is that going out into the streets in Egypt, jordan, lebanon, uae to celebrate Hamas is illegal.
00:09:24.166 --> 00:09:26.557 But it's okay.
00:09:26.557 --> 00:09:32.263 It's okay in the United States, canada, the UK, france.
00:09:32.263 --> 00:09:36.642 It just shows you what the world wants to turn a blind eye to.
00:09:36.642 --> 00:09:38.956 And so let's be real here.
00:09:38.956 --> 00:09:45.894 When prime ministers and presidents say that they would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu the moment he stepped foot into their country.
00:09:45.894 --> 00:09:50.135 That is not supporting the ICC, which is a corrupt organization.
00:09:50.135 --> 00:09:51.780 It's anti-Semitism.
00:09:53.191 --> 00:10:07.548 When you tell Jews they are not allowed anywhere and, believe you me, this is very Nazi-like people Tell Jews they're not welcome, they can't participate, that is anti-Semitism.
00:10:07.548 --> 00:10:09.475 Please tell me how that helps a child in Gaza.
00:10:09.475 --> 00:10:12.654 It doesn't All right, let's Whoa, stuart.
00:10:12.654 --> 00:10:14.720 No, you told me I have 10 minutes.
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:15.701 You gave me six.
00:10:15.701 --> 00:10:18.354 Let me give you guys one more point here.
00:10:18.413 --> 00:10:22.023 Ok, here's the thing that is just mind boggling.
00:10:22.023 --> 00:10:42.375 When will you in the world finally recognize that if you want to continue this road towards being, you know, complacent to terrorists and welcoming terrorists into your neighborhood, when will you realize that this, what you just saw, what the terrorists are doing to Jews, it's going to come to you.
00:10:42.375 --> 00:10:44.297 They don't likeras.
00:10:44.297 --> 00:10:54.597 Read their policies, read it, okay, read it.
00:10:54.597 --> 00:11:04.354 What it really means is Stuart again diverts my conversation here, once again, as ADD kicks in.
00:11:04.354 --> 00:11:14.296 The one thing, folks, that continuously is amazing is that you are welcoming in terrorists into your home and if you're okay with that, many of us are not.
00:11:14.296 --> 00:11:21.158 So it starts with anti-Semitism, as it always does, and then it festers into something even worse.
00:11:21.158 --> 00:11:29.919 So if you want to continue to welcome them in and call them one of your friends and you want to buy into these contradictions and lies, you're in trouble.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.753 Stuart, you have a chance now to rebut.
00:11:32.753 --> 00:11:34.278 Okay, stuart, you have the chance now to rebut.
00:11:34.404 --> 00:11:43.620 Okay, how many times is hate, murder, disdain, kill mentioned in the Quran?
00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:48.177 It's 32 times.
00:11:48.177 --> 00:11:57.837 In other words, you can kill, rape, murder anyone the hell you want, and it says it very clearly in the book of Quran.
00:11:57.837 --> 00:12:04.011 There is no other explanation for hatred.
00:12:04.011 --> 00:12:15.797 And, yes, everyone will have their time if they keep placating of people that don't have any desire for peace, just to pause and rearrange.
00:12:15.817 --> 00:12:26.601 I vocally said I'm not in favor of the hostage and I think there is no end with this in mind.
00:12:26.601 --> 00:12:51.041 And the difference which I wanted to bring up in an armistice deal and a ceasefire is the full terms of the agreement denoted in a ceasefire are not actually in place and they're actually only going to be discussed at the end of next week, 16 days after the armistice began, which really is a combination of it's part of a ceasefire.
00:12:51.041 --> 00:12:54.796 But the destiny of a ceasefire is all the terms have been agreed to.
00:12:54.796 --> 00:12:56.725 There's no terms agreed to.
00:12:56.725 --> 00:13:07.188 The only terms agreed to is it'll be 180 new terrorists free to go fight and blow shit up and kill people, and yet there will only be seven.
00:13:07.188 --> 00:13:08.070 That's it.
00:13:08.070 --> 00:13:12.614 Seven women released from hell.
00:13:12.614 --> 00:13:22.287 And again, david, I'm very angry about it, though I understand, as a parent, how a family might feel.
00:13:22.287 --> 00:13:24.230 I'm wanting to get their loved one back.
00:13:24.230 --> 00:13:35.460 But if you're only going to get your loved one back temporarily, to only be shot and killed tomorrow, was it really worth it killed tomorrow?
00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:37.323 was it really worth it?
00:13:38.625 --> 00:13:43.769 Anyway, stuart, that argument isn't fair for you to answer, nor is it fair for me to pose, but I did it anyways.
00:13:44.971 --> 00:13:46.134 Well, because you're like that.
00:13:46.134 --> 00:13:47.649 But here's the question I'm going to throw at you.
00:13:47.649 --> 00:13:52.650 Okay, when you cherish life more than you cherish death, that's what you do, and I agree with you.
00:13:52.650 --> 00:13:53.975 This is not a good ceasefire.
00:13:59.552 --> 00:14:00.374 But, you don't.
00:14:00.374 --> 00:14:03.217 It's not a cease you want to talk about that.
00:14:03.217 --> 00:14:04.198 I have no interest.
00:14:04.198 --> 00:14:09.741 I want to ask this question to you, okay, because you're more, you want to be more on.
00:14:09.782 --> 00:14:12.307 The word armistice versus ceasefire is irrelevant to me.
00:14:12.307 --> 00:14:20.980 I want to ask the world the following question you heard the story of three young ladies who were raped, beaten, psychologically assaulted.
00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:26.033 Where's Michelle Obama and all the women's movements?
00:14:26.033 --> 00:14:32.460 Where are all you you know Me Too people screaming and yelling against this kind of thing?
00:14:32.460 --> 00:14:37.235 Where's the United Nations to talk about women's movement, to talk about how this is wrong?
00:14:37.235 --> 00:14:43.592 Where is the Red Cross, the vilification of the Red Cross for bad treatment of hostages?
00:14:43.913 --> 00:14:51.129 If this is war and they're prisoners of war, there are rules to prisoners of war, but yet it's quiet.
00:14:51.129 --> 00:14:59.077 So while you want to focus on a word, I want to focus on a bigger problem, and that is when will you call it what it is?
00:14:59.077 --> 00:15:01.500 You're a bunch of anti-Semites.
00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:16.918 And for people to sit there and focus on Elon Musk and I'll bring you full circle to where you were when you focus on Elon Musk and that Elon Musk did the Nazi salute and that's what you want to focus on you people are missing the point completely.
00:15:16.918 --> 00:15:18.509 I don't care if you're Jewish or not Jewish.
00:15:18.509 --> 00:15:19.652 Stop it.
00:15:19.652 --> 00:15:21.216 You're looking for excuses.
00:15:21.216 --> 00:15:30.995 Look at the bigger picture, people, and the bigger picture is that there's a war in your backyard and if you don't stop it, it's going to explode.
00:15:30.995 --> 00:15:38.278 And the permit anti-Semitism allows you to permit and to validate other things.
00:15:38.278 --> 00:15:40.327 That is my message for today.
00:15:41.009 --> 00:15:45.158 Well, thank you, david, and that brings this rant to a close.
