0:43
have you here. Very good to be
0:45
with you, Guy. I would like
0:47
to play a few sound bites
0:49
for you from MIT on campus
0:51
yesterday up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They
0:54
had a big to-do
0:56
at one of these encampments and
0:58
things got very hostile. And these
1:00
were some of the chants. For
1:02
example, cut six. No
1:12
Zionists on Boston streets. And then also
1:15
cut seven. Long
1:24
live the Intifada. Long
1:27
live the Intifada. Long live
1:29
the Intifada. We are the
1:31
Intifada. Long live the Intifada.
1:34
We are the Intifada. We
1:36
are the Intifada. Long
1:39
live the Intifada. Globalize the
1:41
Intifada. If you can just, because
1:43
I think some people have just gotten inured to
1:45
this. They all chant things. They get in the
1:47
streets. They say various things. They've been doing it
1:49
for months. Just bring home
1:52
for us. And
1:54
unpack the meaning behind chants like
1:56
no Zionists on Boston
1:58
streets And we are. Or/long
2:01
live/globalize the Intifada.
2:05
Or the first thing that is
2:07
of cause I'm so swollen. I'm
2:09
not. I'm is a very very
2:11
firmly in the right to the
2:13
Jewish people to determine their own
2:15
future, defend themselves, and much more.
2:17
Am I not welcome in Boston?
2:19
I don't Six. So who the
2:21
hell these people think they are?
2:24
They decide to could be on
2:26
the streets or not. it's. Really
2:29
easy for people who need a. Very
2:31
stern talking to and we can
2:33
just hope that there is ignorant
2:35
as they sound. As
2:37
the intifada I think everybody a
2:40
chance that should be arrested for
2:42
incitement terrorism. They should also bad
2:44
know what into father actually me
2:47
as soon the the. Mormon.
2:49
Kids Jewish shouting this spurs what
2:52
Are they? Twenty one, maybe twenty
2:54
two. Some of the dinner among
2:56
them will be about thirty three.
2:59
so kind of finish their postgraduate
3:01
degree and lesbian damn scary. As
3:04
the as a town front of harder
3:06
they should know. That. The
3:08
last time there was Intifada. The
3:11
second intifada. A
3:13
solid breakdown of the also
3:15
talks and two thousand and
3:17
one Intifada look something like
3:20
this. The Palestinian man who
3:22
hoped to a night club
3:24
called the Dolphin Area. A
3:27
sort of my club that those students
3:29
that M I T and elsewhere would
3:32
like to go to themselves on a
3:34
weekend if they took any time off
3:36
and rabble rousing and their mama went
3:39
to the nightclub notice to there were
3:41
large groups of young women that the
3:43
age of these students standing outside trying
3:45
to get into their packs. Ten of
3:48
the night club. And. He
3:50
detonated a bomb. Killed
3:53
dozens of young people,
3:56
wounded dozens more for
3:58
lies about that into
4:00
fodder Their into father
4:02
is suing since a
4:04
young Arab muslim Israeli.
4:07
Shots. In the head, the stomach
4:09
and the net. By. Palestinian
4:11
jihad is in two thousand and
4:14
one disorders a dude. That's.
4:16
What into saw that means?
4:18
So if these people want
4:20
a globalized. Than. A
4:23
say I were taken the
4:25
that word then they should
4:27
expect. A suicide bomber
4:29
to com and blow them up
4:31
and their fellow students like Obama
4:33
did the Hebrew University in Jerusalem
4:36
in two thousand and one in
4:38
the cafeteria they won't make of.
4:40
Best Vet Intifada Globalized. Okay,
4:43
Great due to give I'm
4:45
word. Wait for the suicide
4:47
bomber to come into your
4:49
fave your campus of M
4:52
I T Colombia or Berkeley
4:54
and is to see how
4:56
much you love Intifada. then.
4:59
I presume some of them have no
5:01
idea what it means, that it sounds
5:04
exciting and. Somewhat. Veto.
5:06
Foreign and mysterious and dangerous to their
5:08
kind of. Excited by
5:10
that and and it's almost romanticize to
5:12
them, it's exotic. Oh okay, Intifada, this
5:14
is what they're telling us to chant.
5:17
Will just repeated back that some of
5:19
them are others I'm sure absolutely know
5:21
what it means and therefore at they
5:23
just assumed they would be spared. They.
5:26
Wouldn't be the ones killed. It would be
5:28
jews by the specially designed as Tuesday
5:30
be the ones killed. Maybe some other scientists
5:32
like you and me up at they would
5:34
be spared. From. It into fat and
5:37
maybe they be the ones part you know partaking
5:39
in the intifada. it's hard to. Kind
5:41
of absolve them of that isn't as. Well
5:44
as the old, The The
5:46
people fall into two categories:
5:48
the sinister and the City.
5:51
The Sinister: The ones who actually
5:54
do love this. They love the
5:56
fact that clearly that American students
5:58
who killed. The University in
6:00
June. So in two thousand and one
6:03
of the cafeteria suicide bombing believe me,
6:05
they love that. So these are people
6:07
who love. The. Murder and mutilation
6:09
is American students their own age
6:12
so there's a the really sinister
6:14
one that with. With. I'm
6:16
lucky to have such sick and
6:18
the people on our campuses are
6:21
your on our streets. But as
6:23
to the silly. How
6:26
incredibly. Ridiculous.
6:28
Stupid. mentally impaired do
6:30
have to be. Shout
6:33
something you don't know.
6:36
What it even means? I
6:39
mean, you know, I
6:42
reckon part a bright guy
6:44
your by guy die if
6:46
we were at an American
6:48
campus and somebody just started
6:50
chanting some word. We. Didn't
6:52
know what we join in
6:54
know what we are scored
6:57
a word meant pistol we
6:59
chanted it up owing so
7:01
the google chrome so. Yeah,
7:03
I reckon I have a
7:06
quick look beforehand and exactly
7:08
what it was. Somehow incredibly
7:10
down. To. The
7:13
silly students have to be.
7:15
What do they are ill
7:17
educated to say Are that
7:19
they that they stand on
7:21
campus and shout words they
7:24
don't understand? They have no
7:26
right to be on a
7:28
campus. Is there that stupid?
7:31
I mean, is that
7:34
nobody? Nobody. With. Any
7:36
cognitive ability, Goes.
7:38
Around shouting slogans they
7:40
don't understand. So. I
7:43
find the silly. To
7:45
be just as problematic to use
7:47
on their favorite words as the
7:49
sinister. The. clips
7:51
we played for you were from boston
7:53
or greater boston m i t than
7:55
yesterday in new york you had a
7:57
some other charming seen some of these
7:59
people try to disrupt the Met Gala. And
8:02
in the process, well here
8:04
in Cut Five were a number of
8:06
young women in the full Muslim headscarves
8:10
chanting at the police, Cut Five.
8:13
Oink, oink,
8:15
piggy piggy, talking
8:17
to the police,
8:23
we will make your lives, and then a word that
8:25
we can't use, doesn't quite rhyme, but they
8:28
can only do so well. That
8:30
is one scene, a handful of them.
8:32
There was another scene nearby, a war
8:34
memorial, a memorial to our
8:37
war dead, where
8:39
they desecrated it with spray
8:41
paint, with Palestinian garb
8:43
and flags, and they also burned
8:46
an American flag in front
8:48
of it. Douglas, I know
8:50
some people say, look, even
8:52
if we support Israel, Guy, you're talking about
8:54
this a lot, it goes
8:56
so much deeper than Israel. It
8:58
goes so much deeper than the well-being of
9:00
Jews. Those are both extremely important to me.
9:03
But it's about people who hate
9:06
our civilization, hate our law
9:08
enforcement, hate what should be
9:10
sacred to this country, our veterans,
9:12
our war dead, our flag. I
9:16
think that's something that instinctively gets a
9:18
rise out of so many Americans, including
9:20
some of the people leading the backlash
9:22
on some of these campuses. Yes,
9:26
I mean, what everybody needs to
9:28
realize is that Israel is now,
9:30
as it has been for many
9:32
years, since the global left decided
9:34
to adopt it as their
9:37
bogeyman. Israel is just
9:39
simply the first country in the sights
9:41
of these maniacs. But it's always
9:43
here in America that their sights really
9:46
are. They attack
9:48
Israel for being colonialists.
9:51
Israel has never had a colony this founded
9:53
in 1948, and
9:56
they don't know what they're even talking
9:58
about. But they say colonialists about it.
10:00
Israel because they want to say colonialist
10:02
about America. They claim
10:04
that Israel is some kind of
10:07
white supremacist society, and I'd invite
10:09
them to go to Israel any
10:11
day, and they'll see that that's
10:13
not accurate, not just not white
10:15
supremacist, but not white, an
10:17
incredibly diverse population. But they want
10:19
to say white supremacist about Israel
10:22
in order to say it about
10:24
America next. And they want to
10:26
ban the Star
10:29
of David. They want to burn the
10:31
Star of David in order to
10:33
burn the flag of the United
10:35
States as America next. They
10:38
want to insult the Israeli people
10:40
and the Israeli army, and they
10:42
want to attack and insult the
10:45
American police and the American army,
10:47
including the American war dead next.
10:50
They really show us what they
10:52
are, these people. They really show
10:54
us, and they show it again
10:56
and again. Anyone who
10:59
thinks this is Israel's problem is
11:01
kidding themselves. It's a
11:04
Western civilization problem. It's
11:07
a problem for civilization as
11:09
a whole. And the
11:11
problem that we see here clearly now
11:14
is a generation of students, some
11:16
of whom have been indoctrinated
11:19
not only into stupidity but
11:21
into wickedness, a
11:24
wicked, unforgivable stupidity. Thankfully,
11:26
there are some people,
11:29
some students, who are brave enough to
11:31
push back against that. And God bless
11:33
them. God bless the students
11:35
who are waving American flags
11:37
and hanging American flags up
11:39
instead of the jihadist flags
11:42
that the students are currently
11:44
playing with, and all these
11:46
cosplay kids dressing
11:48
up as Palestinian terrorists.
11:51
Thank goodness there are some
11:53
smart, clever, fast, smarter, far
11:56
cleverer American students who
11:58
are also patriots who recognize
12:01
what this these would be jihadists
12:03
and these cosplay jihadists are
12:05
and are pushing back at them
12:09
I think even if they're not steeped in the
12:12
history of the conflict which of course neither are
12:14
these cosplayers they don't know what they're talking about
12:16
they're deeply ignorant but the people on
12:18
the other side say we see what they're
12:20
doing to statues of George Washington for example
12:22
what they're doing to our flag the things
12:24
that they're chanting we know deepen our bones
12:27
we're against that that's wrong they're against
12:29
what we stand for and they're pushing
12:31
back I think in a really admirable
12:33
way Douglas Murray thank you so much
