Ignoring Real Issues the Hypocrisy in What the West Focuses On
Show Notes
What if the stories dominating our media landscape aren't the real stories we need to hear? We're here to challenge the double standards that paint Israel as the chief antagonist in the Middle East, while equally significant issues like the conflicts\ in Syria gets pushed to the shadows. This episode doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of victimhood narratives perpetuated by the media, politicians, universities and so many others. Will the world wake up before it is too late?
00:00:02.865 --> 00:00:06.070 You know it's another day, it's the hump day.
00:00:06.070 --> 00:00:13.730 It's the hump episode, not because I'm the hunt track of Notre Dame or David is, but you know why?
00:00:13.730 --> 00:00:16.420 Because it's liar, liar pants on fire.
00:00:16.420 --> 00:00:27.888 You know we have gone through so many years of Russian collusion this gate, that gate and you know the media hasn't learned its lesson.
00:00:27.888 --> 00:00:33.531 You know, do you guys know that there's a war going on in Syria?
00:00:33.531 --> 00:00:36.715 I don't know, I didn't hear about it much.
00:00:36.715 --> 00:00:37.414 Did you, david?
00:00:37.414 --> 00:00:40.637 Did you hear there was martial law in South Korea?
00:00:40.637 --> 00:00:48.005 We're trying to figure out why they were even protesting in the streets.
00:00:48.005 --> 00:00:56.951 But what you do here is that Israel is the bad actor in the Middle East and there's no one worse than Israel, according to the media.
00:00:56.951 --> 00:01:01.293 This is the danger of fake news.
00:01:01.293 --> 00:01:04.165 You know what that's, david, welcome to the Rat Network.
00:01:04.165 --> 00:01:05.626 Fake news.
00:01:05.626 --> 00:01:08.260 And you know what that's, david, welcome to the Rat Network.
00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:16.450 This is my podcast with David Solomon, or his podcast, but we are going to go and give you an unfiltered, unapologetic discussion.
00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:22.623 David and I tackle a wide, diverse range of topics with candid conversations and bold opinions.
00:01:22.623 --> 00:01:26.165 Whether it's breaking down the latest headlines With candid conversations and bold opinions.
00:01:26.165 --> 00:01:30.608 Whether it's breaking down the latest headlines, exploring pop culture, debating politics or delving into complexities of modern life.
00:01:30.608 --> 00:01:33.191 We offer a platform from every perspective.
00:01:33.191 --> 00:01:40.697 So grab a seat, settle in, join us on this journey through a thought-provoking rant and meaningful discussion.
00:01:40.697 --> 00:01:46.631 The Rant Network is where your voice matters and no topics off limits.
00:01:47.772 --> 00:02:02.626 You know, david, we started this podcast almost four years ago and I've been mentioning the last couple of days how long it's been that we've been drinking a cup of Joe for so many months, so many years, every Monday, wednesday, friday, noon Eastern.
00:02:02.626 --> 00:02:03.868 And you know we.
00:02:03.868 --> 00:02:24.789 You know there've been, you know, sort of baskets of conversations throughout the four years that we've had, some of which have been absolutely mind-blowing and others have just been so repetitive that I don't get what the world and media don't see and why we seem to feel like we're the only ones going.
00:02:24.789 --> 00:02:25.932 Yo guys listen.
00:02:25.932 --> 00:02:26.634 This doesn't make sense in media don't see, and why we seem to feel like we're the only ones going.
00:02:26.634 --> 00:02:26.650 Yo guys listen.
00:02:26.650 --> 00:02:27.295 This doesn't make sense.
00:02:28.198 --> 00:02:34.889 And and here we are, on december 4th, and it's the same conversation.
00:02:34.889 --> 00:02:49.713 You know, if you are this, you are that, it's okay, but if you're anything else, oh no, you're the enemy, you're the wrong, you're the bad, and I'm kind of tired of david and I know in the green room we just sort of mentioned about this topic briefly.
00:02:49.713 --> 00:02:56.110 We didn't go much detail into it because we're gonna have some fun today, but it doesn't it irk you.
00:02:56.110 --> 00:03:05.451 Have you not had enough of this insanity like what do we have to do to get across to the mass media and the mass world?
00:03:05.451 --> 00:03:07.754 That enough's enough?
00:03:09.301 --> 00:03:17.389 Stuart, I don't think it's ever going to make a difference at this point because, unfortunately, what we've got here going on, folks in our world, is a double standard.
00:03:17.389 --> 00:03:22.806 You know, stuart used the word liar and it effectively is a bunch of lies.
00:03:22.806 --> 00:03:25.651 But it's really the way the world is.
00:03:25.651 --> 00:03:27.194 You know it's system.
00:03:27.194 --> 00:03:33.353 If you are not considered a victim, your story is irrelevant.
00:03:33.353 --> 00:03:35.786 And what is a victim?
00:03:35.786 --> 00:03:38.240 It's an interesting thing, stuart.
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.091 On Friday it'll be International Day of Violence to Women.
00:03:43.091 --> 00:03:58.270 It'll be International Day of Violence to Women, and I believe that at the time, you were still living in Montreal when, at the University of Montreal, the Polytechnique, women were killed by an engineering suppose, an engineering student.
00:03:58.270 --> 00:03:59.951 He wanted to be an aspiring engineering student.
00:03:59.951 --> 00:04:06.443 He killed women, he was upset and his French name.
00:04:06.443 --> 00:04:08.409 Everybody kept saying the French name, the French name.
00:04:08.409 --> 00:04:18.829 But what nobody wanted to talk about, and even back then, was that he was of Muslim descent and it was completely ignored for decades.
00:04:18.829 --> 00:04:26.821 No one wanted to do it Because this was the initial point, one of the early times of talking about victimhood.
00:04:27.862 --> 00:04:30.367 We've seen a pivot in the media, stuart.
00:04:30.367 --> 00:04:37.086 Again in politicians, wokeism popped up about victimhood and who is a victim?
00:04:37.086 --> 00:04:42.901 A victim can only be someone of power pounding on somebody who doesn't have power.
00:04:42.901 --> 00:04:56.369 And when we look in, since October 7, 2023, it's not the Israelis, not Israeli Arabs, not Israeli Druze, not Israeli Christians.
00:04:56.369 --> 00:04:59.608 Those are not victims because they lived in Israel.
00:04:59.608 --> 00:05:07.692 The women killed, raped, murdered, babies slaughtered and burnt, not victims.
00:05:07.692 --> 00:05:10.869 Only the Palestinians are victims.
00:05:10.869 --> 00:05:22.730 And then in recent weeks, it was the Lebanese that are victims because it was the Jew who defended himself from attack by these terrorist organizations.
00:05:22.730 --> 00:05:25.526 It's a sick mind, stuart.
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:47.113 And we saw this hypocrisy again this week and last week when Syrian rebels entered into Aleppo in an ongoing war, in an ongoing conflict where hundreds of thousands of Muslims, including Palestinians, dead, killed, gassed, murdered, killed.
00:05:47.113 --> 00:05:52.908 And who arms Syria, russia, iran?
00:05:52.908 --> 00:05:56.865 Who helped to kill these people?
00:05:56.865 --> 00:05:58.839 Hezbollah, believe it or not?
00:05:58.839 --> 00:05:59.702 That's right.
00:05:59.702 --> 00:06:05.014 The Syrian government brought in Hezbollah to go and kill and help protect the government.
00:06:05.014 --> 00:06:11.870 It doesn't matter that this government is like so many other autocratic governments.
00:06:11.870 --> 00:06:12.312 People have no rights.
00:06:12.312 --> 00:06:13.555 This government is like so many other autocratic governments.
00:06:13.555 --> 00:06:15.838 People have no rights.
00:06:15.838 --> 00:06:22.369 There's a secret police that goes around, just like you see in other of these autocratic countries.
00:06:22.369 --> 00:06:29.516 You can't say one negative word about the government, the media, state control.
00:06:29.516 --> 00:06:42.504 How many protests did we see in the streets in the last week about Assad killing his own people, how many university professors and university students staged protests and strikes?
00:06:42.504 --> 00:06:53.091 Where's the divestiture from Syria, iran, russia, who are aiding this death, this genocide?
00:06:53.091 --> 00:07:03.646 Oh wait, it can't be called a genocide, it can't be called victims, it can't be anything.
00:07:03.646 --> 00:07:04.214 Because it's Arab on Arab.
00:07:04.214 --> 00:07:05.755 Make sense.
00:07:06.817 --> 00:07:12.586 In the meantime, you hear, you know, rampant victimhood again and again and again.
00:07:12.586 --> 00:07:13.949 This hypocrisy.
00:07:13.949 --> 00:07:36.009 And, stuart, I'm going to tell you something I didn't tell you in the green room On Sunday, and this is going to make you think it's hilarious On Sunday, in Jacksonville, florida, just up the street from you, my friend, a Houston football player, literally rammed into the quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars, trevor Lawrence.
00:07:36.009 --> 00:07:44.233 He was suspended for three-day games, huge suspension.
00:07:44.233 --> 00:07:53.420 And Aziz Al-Shair, in his press conference was screaming about Islamophobia, the victim, the victim, he's the victim.
00:07:53.420 --> 00:08:01.749 His hit was egregious, suspendable, and he's calling Islamophobia the victim.
00:08:01.749 --> 00:08:10.476 Stuart, the hypocrisy is the victims, the quote-unquote victims, keep screaming that and the media and the politician and the left keep jumping on it.
00:08:10.497 --> 00:08:12.997 Stuart, what is the number one cause of death in Africa right now?
00:08:12.997 --> 00:08:13.439 Do you know?
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:24.966 The number one cause of death in Africa is not starvation, it's not health, it's war, it's war.
00:08:24.966 --> 00:08:31.132 The amount of conflicts since 1989 is unbelievable.
00:08:31.132 --> 00:08:39.251 The death rate is unbelievable in Africa, higher death rate than anywhere in the world, including the Middle East and everywhere else.
00:08:39.251 --> 00:08:41.484 And you're silent.
00:08:41.484 --> 00:08:49.350 Because it's not a Jew, it's not a white person, and the media doesn't care about Africa because, yeah, who cares?
00:08:49.350 --> 00:08:55.052 South Africa got its notoriety back then because it was white on black.
00:08:55.052 --> 00:08:59.312 And when Arab beats up Arab, muslim beats up Muslim.
00:08:59.312 --> 00:09:00.710 And when Muslim beats up Arab, muslim beats up Muslim.
00:09:00.710 --> 00:09:08.481 And when Muslim beats on Christian and we know that Muslims have been going after Christians in Africa where's the Pope silent?
00:09:08.481 --> 00:09:10.764 Where's the media silent?
00:09:10.764 --> 00:09:12.193 Where are the protests?
00:09:12.193 --> 00:09:12.576 Silent?
00:09:12.576 --> 00:09:14.751 The only thing.
00:09:14.751 --> 00:09:16.442 And again it happened, stuart.
00:09:16.442 --> 00:09:17.567 With this I'll wrap up.
00:09:18.548 --> 00:09:27.748 In one week, here in Montreal, we had two speakers One I mentioned, the son of Hamas, yusuf Hussein, and yesterday we had Yusuf Haddad.
00:09:27.748 --> 00:09:43.764 Yusuf Haddad is an Israeli Arab, originally from Haifa, moves to Nazareth, proudly served in the IDF, proud Israeli Arab, goes around the world and talks about the hypocrisy that is about the Palestinian quote-unquote Palestinian cause.
00:09:43.764 --> 00:09:53.929 Two million Arabs live in absolute peace and with 100% human rights, despite the claims of apartheid.
00:09:53.929 --> 00:09:55.452 And the world jumps on it.
00:09:55.452 --> 00:09:57.303 And Stuartwood scares me and he said it.
00:09:57.303 --> 00:10:01.480 It was oxford university where he debated last week.
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.447 Conquered, he goes, it's conquered.
00:10:04.447 --> 00:10:15.854 Other universities have been conquered by these hypocrisy driving crazies and we're in trouble if we don't start challenging this hypocrisy.
00:10:16.642 --> 00:10:39.428 He says the next victim, people, it's you you know, david, this whole victimization, the insanity that's ensued, that I, you and I both believe has been grown in the left wing side of most political parties, it's, it's sad, it tragic.
00:10:39.428 --> 00:10:43.982 You know, you feel sorry for people that are just so ignorant.
00:10:43.982 --> 00:10:54.028 And these are bright graduate people, phds, multiple PhDs, people that you would think would have more sense to understand.
00:10:54.028 --> 00:10:57.883 You know, am I the crazy guy in the room, dave?
00:10:57.883 --> 00:11:01.140 Well, maybe, maybe, maybe I'm definitely the crazy guy in the room.
00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:23.730 I might be the most aggressive guy in the room who isn't shy or afraid which I think should be our new podcast Shy and Afraid of saying anything to anyone, because I just don't care, and I guess that you and I are so privileged at this point that we just don't care what people think, because if you don't say it as it is, it's just ridiculous.
00:11:23.730 --> 00:11:28.746 You know, I have, you know, called a woman pregnant and then, oh, are you pregnant?
00:11:28.746 --> 00:11:31.133 And misspoken Cause she wasn't pregnant.
00:11:31.133 --> 00:11:37.445 I've done that and and you know you're laughing, you know, but that woman wasn't laughing at me and she was quite scary.
00:11:37.445 --> 00:11:52.886 But you know, at the end of the day I misspoke, I can be apologetic, I can say I'm sorry, I went to a guy and I David, I'm going to say this on the air I thought he was gay and I treated him and talked to him like someone.
00:11:52.907 --> 00:11:53.328 That was great.
00:11:53.328 --> 00:11:55.426 You know, larry, are you having fun with your partner?
00:11:55.426 --> 00:12:08.484 He goes partner my girlfriend's sister-in-law, they would call me partner.
00:12:08.484 --> 00:12:09.407 I said, oh, and I'm like I am so sorry he goes.
00:12:09.407 --> 00:12:09.908 Did you think I was gay?
00:12:09.908 --> 00:12:10.591 I mean the society you know.
00:12:10.610 --> 00:12:13.179 Here I am trying to be gentle and understanding and and I'm good and he looked at me and he laughed.
00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:14.222 He says don't worry about it.
00:12:14.222 --> 00:12:15.525 He says I've gotten that often.
00:12:15.525 --> 00:12:18.943 You know we grew up, you know, in a different time.
00:12:18.943 --> 00:12:22.943 I'm just trying to accept people for what they call themselves.
00:12:23.304 --> 00:12:25.591 If you think you're a duck, I'm going to treat you like a duck.
00:12:25.591 --> 00:12:30.169 You know I don't eat foie gras, but you know what I know people that do.
00:12:30.169 --> 00:12:34.443 And if you want to be, you know, liver on someone's desk, all the power to you.
00:12:34.443 --> 00:12:55.235 But David, you're right, it is frustrating at no end to hear the vile bias that is really unapologetic from the media and anyone that says you know what, not even fucking JP, the president's spokesperson, has an ounce of credibility anymore on the planet.
00:12:55.235 --> 00:12:58.184 You know the president used to come and speak.
00:12:58.184 --> 00:13:02.874 Then later on they put someone who spoke on behalf of the president.
00:13:02.874 --> 00:13:16.475 If the president's words are full of shit, you've destroyed the largest, biggest country and experiment in our modern world down the toilet.
00:13:16.475 --> 00:13:26.815 What you say is something that you should be held accountable to, and if you're lying about it, you should be removed from those airwaves.
00:13:26.815 --> 00:13:30.964 You cannot apologize for misspeaking.
00:13:31.966 --> 00:13:34.269 Enough is enough is enough.
00:13:34.269 --> 00:13:35.451 They're not going to give it.
00:13:35.451 --> 00:13:38.865 And we see this hypocrisy and we see this double standard.
00:13:38.865 --> 00:13:46.240 We see in the bbc that they demanded employees wear the palestinian colors in a day of of solidarity.
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:52.716 You see, you know, you know in universities, you know around the world.
00:13:52.716 --> 00:13:59.270 Like I tell you, here in montreal they brought in francesca albanese, who I talked about.
00:13:59.270 --> 00:14:04.331 Her, she's the UN reporter, she's the eightfold Jew hater, israel hater.
00:14:04.331 --> 00:14:06.385 She's not ashamed of it.
00:14:06.385 --> 00:14:16.647 And it took a legal injunction, stuart, to get her not to speak at McGill because she was going to spew racism.
00:14:18.419 --> 00:14:20.226 Mossad Hassan came in last week.
00:14:20.226 --> 00:14:25.886 He was dubbed an Israeli spy, not the son of Hamas, an Israeli spy, which is factual.
00:14:25.886 --> 00:14:27.905 He spent 10 years spying for Israel.
00:14:27.905 --> 00:14:28.489 That's a fact.
00:14:28.489 --> 00:14:37.299 But that was decades ago and they said they couldn't secure him, they couldn't be sure of his security.
00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:40.783 Therefore, they canceled all presentations until January.
00:14:40.783 --> 00:14:41.785 It's exam time, stuart.
00:14:41.785 --> 00:14:43.831 There's nothing happening until January.
00:14:43.831 --> 00:14:45.142 I mean the bullshit that's there.
00:14:45.142 --> 00:14:50.721 And then yesterday, concordia, when Yusuf Haddad tried to speak to students.
00:14:50.721 --> 00:14:55.777 An Arab, another Arab, who's coming in and says there's a different side.
00:14:56.177 --> 00:14:59.427 Universities are supposed to be a place of dialogue, debate.
00:14:59.427 --> 00:15:02.283 Instead, what it is is a one-sided affair.
00:15:02.283 --> 00:15:03.769 As I said he was in.
00:15:03.769 --> 00:15:11.472 You know, he was in Oxford last week and Yosef Haddad stands up there and he said I was in a room where they've already predetermined my fate.
00:15:11.472 --> 00:15:16.066 We predetermined the rule Was Israel accused of guilty of genocide?
00:15:16.066 --> 00:15:16.267 He goes?
00:15:16.267 --> 00:15:18.370 I walked into the room and the answer was yes, I was guilty.
00:15:18.370 --> 00:15:21.053 So the four of us were like what are we bothering for?
00:15:21.053 --> 00:15:21.634 He goes.
00:15:21.634 --> 00:15:26.730 I was bothering for those who are going to watch on YouTube to listen, because in that room no one was listening.
00:15:26.730 --> 00:15:29.903 Oxford was sunk and he said this is the hypocrisy.
00:15:29.903 --> 00:15:33.490 A place of debate, the debate is closed.
00:15:33.490 --> 00:15:35.961 A place of dialogue it's closed.
