Behind me, you see dozens of people that are taking part in a yoga practice as part of a nonprofit called Brothers in Yoga. It's an organization started by a wonderful woman named Netta Margalit, who has dedicated all of her time and energy and resources to bringing somatic healing yoga practices to starting with soldiers who've experienced PTSD. Not just PTSD in light of October 7th and the subsequent war, but also soldiers that have been traumatized and suffering from all kinds of issues. >> So, that's the Israeli IDF soldiers doing yoga for their mental health for what they've done to the Palestinians. Now, the Palestinians are not getting any of that treatment. The treatment they're getting is torture and sexual violence against their kids. And the new UN independent commission has confirmed that and has got the details. >> Right, Jake. I mean, when you're committing war crimes and torturing and slaughtering children, I mean, sometimes you got to get the weight of your crimes against humanity off your mind. And what better way than a yoga practice that's advertised on Israeli media. Now, with that in mind, the UN has just come out with yet another report not only reconfirming that genocide had happened in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli Defense Forces, but that the genocide continues. And in this case, they are laser-focused on the crimes against children in particular. So, let's get to the details. Now, according to this latest United Nations report from the Human Rights Council, Israel continues to commit genocide and other atrocity crimes by deliberately targeting Palestinian children. So, this was released just recently, June 23rd, and the report was conducted specifically by the UN International Commission of Inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel in general. And it goes into some specific effects that these bombings, these strikes, these raids, and the blockade on the Gaza Strip have had specifically on children. Now, children are not in control of the situation. Children are innocent. Children should be protected, but not according to the IDF. The commission, which concluded last year that Israel had had committed genocide against the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip, found that the intense scale and systematic nature of the Israeli military operations have continued, resulting in unprecedented death, injury, and trauma of Palestinian children. The commission reiterates reiterates that the deliberate targeting of children is one of the key elements establishing genocidal intent of the Israeli authorities and security forces to destroy the Palestinian group in whole or in part in Gaza. Remember, that's the definition of genocide. And they point to specific findings, including the fact that severe physical and mental injuries, mass trauma, orphanhood, separation, disability, repeated displacement, starvation, and the collapse of education and health care have erased childhood and will continue to affect children in Gaza throughout their lives. And in addition to blocking food from entering the Gaza Strip, Israel is also preventing building materials and sanitary equipment for Palestinians to be able to deal with things like sewage and pests. And it has led to the video that has gone viral on social media recently. I'll explain to you what you're looking at. That is the foot of a child who is now living in a tent. You can see that the child's foot has a swarm of insects surrounding the child. Um And we had shared with you in earlier reports that uh rat and rodent infestations in Gaza were a problem. Now, potentially disease-carrying mosquitoes are a problem in the Gaza Strip with no help and no end in sight uh because this is very very clearly a campaign to erase a group of people from a region of the world that of course Israel wants to take over entirely. >> So, I posted that on social media and one of the uh Israeli supporters said, "It doesn't matter cuz the Palestinians don't exist." From the same people who cry non-stop about, "We have a right to exist." Do Palestinian children have a right to exist? Apparently not. It's uh that haunting line from Golda Meir keeps ringing through my head. "We'll never forgive the Palestinians for making us kill their children." >> There, I know. They're they're never responsible for their genocidal acts. They're never in the wrong. They're just innocent >> They are the golden people. They can kill and rape and torture children, but you're not allowed to say it. If you If they can do it, but if you say you're a bad person, no. No. If you're denying this genocide, you are a genocide denier and you're a disgusting person. If you're helping Israel do these atrocities and you're covering that up, you're a fascist enabler, you're a fascist supporter, and now you're in league with other fascists throughout history. Okay? So, I hope you're proud. So, no. I Look, uh and these This is something you guys don't deal with. Sorry to interject like my personal issues here in the middle of such an important story. >> Go off, king. >> But we get attacked non-stop by people you don't see, right? People in the establishment. And they genuinely believe that it is outrageous to criticize Israel. Outrageous! And that we should be crushed and we should be disqualified from ever talking to anyone in politics or in media cuz how dare we criticize the godlike Israel. Look at the disgusting crimes against humanity they they do. Come torturing children. Have you no bounds? And of course what they'll say cuz they're monstrous liars perpetual pathological liars. The people who are still supporting Israel at this late date and supporting your disgusting genocide they'll say, "Ah the UN's anti-Semitic. Everyone in the world is anti-Semitic. Anyone who reads that report is anti-Semitic. Anyone who quotes that report is anti-Semitic. The whole world is anti-Semitic. That's why we're allowed to do whatever we want and it's just all irrational criticism based on our religion." >> The Justice Department just said it's stopping work on a nearly $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund after a judge's ruling. And depending on where you get your news, that story gets framed in two completely different ways. On the left, one outlet basically calls it what it is, a slush fund that may finally be on its way out. On the right, Fox and others frame [music] it as the administration backing off of a controversial fund to help clear the way for a stalled Republican immigration bill. Sure, buddy. Sure. And that is exactly why I recommend Ground News. >> [music] >> It's a website and app that pulls together reporting from across the political spectrum so you can compare how the same story is covered, see the bias distribution, check the factuality ratings of the sources, and even see who owns the outlets behind the reporting. And in a story like this, that matters. One version makes this look like a corruption problem that deserves scrutiny. >> [music] >> The other turns it into a tactical concession in a larger immigration fight. Ground News lets you see the difference immediately instead of just taking in whichever version got put in front of you first. Ground News also has a blind spot feed [music] which highlights stories that one side of the political spectrum is barely covering at all. So, you're not just stuck inside the version of events your usual media bubble is feeding you. If you want to stay informed without getting pulled into somebody else's spin, [music] I genuinely recommend Ground News. Go to ground.news/tyt or [music] just scan the QR code.

You think your religion is so important? I don't give a goddamn what your religion is. I don't care if you're a Buddhist, that gives you no excuse. I don't care if you're Jewish, yes, I said it. I don't care if you're Jewish. I don't care if you're a Hindu. I don't care what you are. You're not allowed to murder other people's children. You're not allowed to do sexual violence against other people's children and then complain that people are criticizing you. And then hide behind your religion like cowards. Like disgusting fascists that the Israelis currently obviously are. But oh, have I hurt your feelings? And if you say, "Hey, you know what? I don't care about those children getting slaughtered by Israel on purpose, deliberately, and intentionally. They're going into neonatal care units >> Oh, yeah. >> and maternity care units, and we're going to tell you about that? And they're just they're killing the kids inside there. And if you say, "I don't care about those stupid Palestinian kids. I'll just pretend they don't exist. Well, I'll pretend we didn't do it. BUT HOW DARE YOU TELL the world about our crimes? You're all You're the problem." No, no, no, no. That means you're a disgusting terrorist fascist enabler. I just want to be clear about Israeli supporters. I'm not talking about, "Hey, you grew up thinking Israel was lovely cuz your parents brainwashed you into that." No problem. A million tons of people have done that. If at this date you've seen all this evidence, and you go, "Yeah, but as long as it's not me and it's you and your stupid kids, well then okay, I'm good with it. Well, then you're a terrible immoral person. And if you're attacking anyone fighting against that kind of fascism, you would have loved the good Germans in Germany who did nothing while the Jews were slaughtered and the Poles were slaughtered and the Roma were slaughtered. So, we're trying to do something about a genocide that we can do something about. And if you're the one actually helping that genocide and demanding that we funded and trying to destroy anyone fighting against it, you're a disgustingly immoral fascist. I hope I was clear enough. Go ahead, Anna. >> Well, I just wanted to note that um you can't do two things at the same time. You can't point fingers at whatever boogeymen you claim are a threat to you and accuse them of doing what you yourself are doing in real time. Because you are conceding that these acts are genocidal, cruel, terrible as you are doing it. But I mean, they think we're stupid and we can't see that they're doing it. They deny that they're doing it. >> We're so CLEVER. BUT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY WE'RE CLEVER. YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED to say we're tricking YOU. YOU MUST BOW TO ISRAEL. NO, we're not going to. >> Well, you're not tricking us because as stupid as they think we might be, we're actually You're not the smartest people on the planet. You're just not. Okay? And we all see what's going on. We've all been unfortunately witnessing it for nearly 3 years straight and it radicalizes people against Zionists, against the nation-state of Israel. I am against the nation-state of Israel and I have no bones about admitting that. I will admit it every day. I will scream it from the rooftops because I see evil and it needs to be called out. So, let's talk more about the evil that is documented, that is proven, that's part of this report. So, the report also cited the IDF's intentional targeting of healthcare centers specifically for babies and mothers. Gee, I wonder why they would do that. Israel's targeting of neonatal and maternity care centers in Gaza have directly harmed the survival of newborns and Palestinians reproductive future including rises in miscarriages, birth defects, and lasting vulnerabilities. I'm sure a bunch of Zionists just cream their pants. Vulnerabilities among newborns resulting in the destruction of Palestinian newborn life and the population's continuity. This is a definition of genocide. >> By the way, that what they also accused the Iraqis of doing. Oh, do you know they were unplugging the incubators for the babies. That's why we have to attack Iraq on behalf of Israel. >> that. >> Right. Oh, look at that. Every Israeli accusation is a confession. And there they are killing babies in neonatal and maternity care centers. Yeah, I remember when they bombed the hospital. You remember that story? >> I do. I do remember that, Cenk. >> And then they went inside the uh the thing and they did exactly what they charged Saddam Hussein with doing. Unplugging the uh the units. Just disgusting terrorists. >> In parallel, the dismantling and destruction of orphanages and education facilities in Gaza and the West Bank including East Jerusalem have obstructed children's cognitive, social, and emotional care and development and disrupted the foundations of Palestinian society. But of course that was the point. The report found I want you to really hear this. This report found that around 30% of those killed in Gaza, 30% children. Children. 30%. And these disgusting war criminal pieces of crap have the audacity to brag about how they're the most moral army. >> Oh, come on, man. Have you no bounds of decency? >> That their uh kill ratio is among the best, the most moral. And I mean >> It's the literally the worst in the world as I've told you many times reported by Israeli press, leaks from the IDF itself, 83% civilian kill ratio. We know Hamas are terrorists according to the Israeli definition, American definition, cuz their civilian kill ratio is so high at 67%. Israel's is far higher than Hamas or Hezbollah or any other terrorist group because they're terrorists who kill children and then they get American media to lie on their behalf and pretend they're the good guys. >> Exactly. Yeah, you're right. Now, nearly all children are reported to need psychological support, which shouldn't come as a surprise given the apocalyptic scenes we've seen out of Gaza. By targeting children, Israel is eroding the foundational structure of Palestinian society, weakening the demographic vitality, and overall capacity of the Palestinian people to sustain and exercise its right to determine its future as a people. Now, of course, Israel denies all of this, even >> Of course. >> even as many of their, you know, politicians brag about it publicly on a daily basis, members of their media brag about it on a daily basis. But, a rebuttal shared by Israel's mission in Geneva said Israel consistently strives to minimize harm to children even in situations of conflict. Okay, let me let me let me understand something. So, let's move off of Gaza for just 1 second because when Netanyahu feared that there was going to be a peace deal between the United States and Iran, what did he do? In a 10-minute time span, he dropped 100 bombs on Lebanon. He carpet bombed Lebanon. Is that Is that a good example of Israel really going out of its way to minimize civilian casualties? They think we're stupid, but in reality, they're stupid for thinking that we buy this garbage. >> I have to talk about how dumb Israeli supporters are, okay? >> Yes, please. Take your time. Take your time. >> because they say, "Oh, well, we're the one country that's never done anything wrong." I mean, it looks like there's 23,000 dead kids and 76,000 dead people and everywhere we go, we seem to be carpet bombing and every neutral organization say it's it's a genocide and that we're dropping when we're doing double taps, which is by definition terrorism. We're waiting for the medical workers to arrive and then murdering the medical workers trying to help injured children. But no, we're the good guys and because of our religion, we get special exemptions, which is that you're not allowed to criticize us. And in our stupid minds, we think, "Oh, it's okay. We've done nothing wrong. Those children deserve to be murdered and tortured because they're Palestinians. Are you an anti-Semite?" I'm so worried about bigotry, but only if it affects me. I'm not worried about bigotry when it affects anyone else. I'm not worried about murder or torture or rape when it affects anyone else. But I'm a moral person. No, you sound like an idiot and a disgustingly immoral person. Have I been clear enough? Oh, I'm sorry. Was I too harsh against the genocide? Should I have been softer, a little bit more polite in how I'm fighting against the genocide? I mean, they're only raping and torturing children. >> It's disgusting. It's absolutely disgusting. And we should remember uh Netanyahu has made abundantly clear that he intends on taking over the entirety of the Gaza Strip. Uh several ministers within the Knesset have made clear that they The reason why they leveled Gaza, the reason why they made it unlivable is because they want to persuade the remaining Palestinians, the ones who have survived, to leave the Gaza Strip entirely. The whole idea is there's nothing for you here. It's gone. It's all gone. So, leave. Get out of here. That That was the plan. And remember, um you know, the words of Itamar Ben-Gvir. This is from a few months ago regarding the so-called yellow line in Gaza. Take a look. >> This is according to reporting from Israel's Channel 14. So, there was this cabinet meeting, a bunch of members of the government are discussing it, and the deputy chief of staff said that the Israeli army is firing at adults who cross the line, but not at children and donkeys. To which that national security minister said, "We must shoot at a child and a donkey, too. Enough with being merciful and accepting what happened until October 6th." And just imagine what is taking what is going on in the bounds of his skull, that he thinks what we've had up until this point is mercy. >> Am I supposed to denounce Hezbollah? >> No, come on, man. >> Is that what I'm supposed to do? I'm supposed to denounce Hezbollah? No, long live the resistance. Go ahead, Cenk. >> So, uh Hezbollah currently is defending Lebanon, of course. They say, "Oh, no, you're not allowed to defend Lebanon. If you don't lay down and surrender to the Israelis and let them take your home and all of your property, uh then you're an anti-Semite and a terrorist." And they genuinely believe this. So, I like Like, I I don't want to call people stupid and uh but like, what do you want me to say? Like, this level of purposeful ignorance, I mean, look, >> It's not even ignorance, Cenk. They support it. They know what's going on. The people that you're referring to who who are pretending to be outraged by your criticism toward what Israel is doing, they know what Israel's doing. The thing is >> They do. They support it. They love it. They love it. They love it. Cenk, >> utterly delusional. They really believe, like, oh, the whole world hates Jews. So, like, we didn't do anything. These are all lies. And if they're watching this right now, an Israeli supporter's watching this, they don't believe a word we're saying. They don't believe a word the UN says. They don't believe a word that anyone who isn't a hardcore Zionist says. They don't believe it because it would wreck them mentally to know that they've become the Nazis. >> They are the Nazis, okay? And you have a pure heart. You do. You have such a pure heart and I I I don't know. I'm I'm way more jaded than I think you'll ever be. Okay? I was listening to a conversation yesterday between this woman named Bridget Brassy, I think that's how you say her last name and Batya Ungar-Sargon. They were talking about the atrocities being committed in the West Bank and they both acknowledged the atrocities being committed in the West Bank. And you know what Batya said? It's going to be fine. We're going to figure it out. It's going to be I don't agree with it. I I it's bad, but don't worry. We're going to deal with it. It'll be fine. >> You're not going to deal with anything. You've murdered over Do you know that the Israelis have murdered more civilians in the West Bank than Hamas killed civilians on October 7th? But we were told by our media that October 7th was the worst thing that happened since the Holocaust. But when 70 times worse happened in Gaza, they're like, "Who cares?" Those are stupid Palestinians. Our national media in this country is so racist. It's beyond description. >> Absolutely. >> When it comes to Palestinians or Arabs or Persians, they don't think your life worth is worth anything. They think 70 times October 7th, if it's done to Palestinians, is irrelevant. And then now they've done more than an October 7th in West Bank and they don't even report it. Our media, like have you seen it all over cable news? The atrocity What happened What the Israelis did to the West Bank is the worst thing since the Holocaust. No. No, because they're not Israeli. So, their lives are irrelevant. >> Oh, we'll deal with it later after we slaughter them. You know how much accountability has been for all those deaths and murders in the West Bank? Zero. None. Okay? They've killed 10 Americans in the last 3 years, West Bank and Gaza Strip. You know how much accountability? Zero. We Our government doesn't even ask them to arrest people that have murdered American citizens. >> One of the settlers who killed an American citizen ended up getting sanctioned by the Biden administration. Trump came in and he lifted the sanctions. >> Okay, one, right? The others they have not bothered to arrest, none of them have gone to prison, none of them have gotten justice because they're worthless American lives. They're not precious Israeli lives. All the people you slaughter if you're Israel, Lebanese, Iranian, Palestinian American, it doesn't matter. >> Christian, Muslim, doesn't matter. >> Christian, Muslim, doesn't matter according to our disgustingly media and our disgustingly corrupt politicians, genocide and fascism and terrorism is wonderful and you must pay for it. You go GO GET A SECOND JOB. Israel isn't done murdering kids. Oh, you're not allowed to say things that are true. Yes, we are. Until they shut this show down and got you know, who knows? Maybe they will because they can't allow anyone to tell you the truth about Israel. Because if they you find out the truth about Israel, you'd say, "Why would I want to fund a country murdering children on purpose? And torturing them on purpose?" No, nobody would want to do that in their right mind. That's why they have to call us all anti-Semites. That's why they have to ruin all of our careers and our lives and they have to be bullies and thugs and terrorists inside this country. Every time I go to give a speech, I get a half a dozen people come up and tell me they were fired because they criticized Israel or even just supporting Palestinians on social media because Israel's a terrorist network inside this country who are constantly trying to destroy anyone who criticizes Israel so that they can get away with take Let What is this? Taking 320 billion dollars from us lifetime and pretending that's not a robbery. Of course it's a robbery. OF COURSE IT'S A ROBBERY. WHAT DO THEY USE IT FOR? Were they Mother Teresa? They tell us these pretty little lies on television. Oh, they made the desert bloom. Yeah, with the blood of Palestinians that they've slaughtered THE ENTIRE TIME. You you think 750,000 Palestinians went for a picnic in 1948? Are you that preposterously dumb? No, they dragged the bodies of dead Palestinians through the villages. That's why they all ran for their lives. That was ethnic cleansing round one and our press was like, "OH GOD BLESS ISRAEL. THEY HAVE MADE THE DESERT BLOOM." OH, don't worry about the 750,000 people that they ethnically cleansed, the people that they slaughtered. Do you know that uh >> But, they needed They needed They needed to do that. >> They were entitled to >> only were they entitled to it, um don't you know Jews are so unsafe everywhere else, including the United States where they thrive. Okay? Like, what are we doing? >> UK where they thrive and most of the world where they thrive. God bless. I love that. I I love that we we are a free country that doesn't care about Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc. That's why I love America. I love that Jewish people can be safe here. >> a lie. That's the point that I'm trying to make that the whole project, the whole reason for the slaughter, the the destruction of a people in the Middle East, it's based on a lie, okay? Jews are not unsafe here in the United States. There isn't this a giant group of neo-Nazis looking to destroy them. They are thriving here in the US as it should be. And it's just this fake story that we're supposed to believe in order to justify what we all know are crimes against humanity. And, the thing that has jaded me beyond recognition, okay? Is that there are so many career-obsessed pieces of crap in this country who know that if they say the right thing, if they draw attention to these crimes against humanity, I might lose my media job. So, I'm just going to be quiet. >> literally everyone in media. >> That is literally everyone in media and I look down on on them. >> Oh, yeah. If you're a national media reporter or you're a cable news anchor, I couldn't I mean, respect. You You no respect. >> disgrace. >> You're the antithesis of what a journalist is supposed to be. So, I mean, I don't know. Go do commercials where someone just hands you a script and you read it, right? Like >> They already do. And it it's Israeli lobby hands them the script and they read it and pretend to be news anchors when they're news actors. >> So, Jenk, you know, you know what I mean. >> that it was a genocide? But they're journalists? >> They're worried about being called called anti-semites, you know. >> they are. If you think that's not happening, you literally have no idea what's happening in this country. No, everyone in media knows that if you criticize Israel, you will called an anti-semite and someone will try to get you fired and their chance of success is about 98%. So, the minute you criticize Israel, you jeopardize your entire career. And not only will you be fired and canceled, but you'll be shamed. That's an anti-semite. NO ONE SHOULD EVER HIRE THEM AGAIN. AND YES, that's what you look like when you're supporting fascists who are murdering and torturing children and then you could you manage to destroy anyone who opposes those war crimes, those crimes against humanity? Well, congratulations. You'd make Goebbels proud. Like Goebbels couldn't manage this. >> Jenk, you just reminded me of something. >> Oh, you can't say that. You can't compare us. No, I can and I just did. Kiss my ass. How about you can't KILL CHILDREN? YOU CAN'T TORTURE and rape children. How about that? No, no, I can. I'm entitled to everything. I'm an Israeli. I'm entitled TO EVERYTHING. YOU'RE ENTITLED TO NOTHING. BOW. AND THEN our stupid groveling politicians bow. They disgust me. >> I'd rather die. >> Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets its wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live
