And. Just a very clear thinker and we pleased

0:37

to have been back on the show. Douglas good

0:39

to have you here. Very. Good

0:41

to be with you God I

0:43

would like to play a few

0:45

sound bites for you from Mit

0:47

on campus Yesterday up in Cambridge,

0:49

Massachusetts, they had a big. To.

0:52

Do at one of these encampments and

0:54

things got. Very. Hostile and

0:56

these were some of the chance.

0:58

For example, cuts six. Know.

1:09

Zionist on Boston streets and then

1:11

also cut seven. We.

1:33

Are the Intifada. Long.

1:35

Live The Intifada. Globalize. The

1:37

Intifada. If. You can just because

1:39

I think some people have just gotten endured to

1:41

this. They all chant things they get in the

1:44

streets. they say various think they've been doing it

1:46

for months. Just. Bring home

1:48

for us! And. And unpack

1:50

the meaning behind chance. Like

1:53

know Zionists on Boston streets.

1:55

And. we are slash long

1:57

live slash globalize the into

2:01

Well, the first thing is, of course, first

2:03

of all, I mean, I'm not a Jew,

2:05

but I'm a Zionist. I believe

2:08

very firmly in the right of the Jewish

2:10

people to determine their own future, to

2:12

defend themselves, and much more.

2:14

Am I not welcome in Boston? I don't

2:16

think so. Who the hell do these people

2:18

think they are? They decide who

2:21

can be on the streets or not. I

2:24

mean, these are people who need a

2:27

very certain talking to, and we

2:30

can just hope that they're as ignorant as they

2:32

sound. As for the

2:34

intifada, I think everybody who chants there

2:36

should be arrested for incitement to terrorism. They

2:40

should also perhaps know what an intifada

2:42

actually means. I assume

2:44

these are more than kids

2:46

who are shouting this. I

2:48

suppose what are they, 21, maybe 22? Some

2:52

of the dinner among them will be about 33, and

2:55

still trying to finish their postgraduate

2:57

degree in lesbian dance theory. But

3:00

as they chant for intifada,

3:02

they should know that the

3:05

last time there was an intifada, the

3:07

second intifada, followed

3:09

the breakdown of the Oslo talks. In

3:13

2001, intifada looked something

3:15

like this, the

3:17

Palestinian man who walked

3:20

to a nightclub called the Dolphinarium,

3:23

the sort of nightclub that those students at

3:25

MIT and elsewhere would like

3:27

to go to themselves on a

3:30

weekend if they took any time

3:32

off their rabble-rousing. And

3:34

the bomber went to the nightclub, noticed

3:36

that there were large groups of young

3:38

women about the age

3:40

of these students standing outside trying to

3:42

get into the packed Tel Aviv nightclub.

3:46

And he detonated a bomb, killed

3:50

dozens of young people, wounded

3:52

dozens more for life. That's

3:56

their intifada. Their

3:58

intifada is, for instance, a

4:01

young Arab Muslim Israeli shot

4:04

in the head, the stomach, and the

4:06

neck by Palestinian jihadists in

4:08

2001 who thought he was a Jew. That's

4:13

what intifada means. So

4:16

if these people want it globalized, then

4:19

if they were taken at their word, then

4:22

they should expect a

4:25

suicide bomber to come and blow

4:27

them up and their fellow students,

4:29

like Obama did at the Hebrew

4:31

University in Jerusalem in 2001 in

4:33

the cafeteria. They

4:36

want their intifada globalized.

4:39

Okay, great. Do it at your

4:41

own word. Wait for the suicide

4:43

bomber to come into your cafe, your

4:45

campus at MIT, or Columbia,

4:48

or Berkeley, and

4:51

just see how much you love

4:53

intifada then. I

4:56

presume some of them have no idea

4:58

what it means, and it sounds exciting

5:00

and somewhat foreign and

5:02

mysterious and dangerous, so they're kind of

5:06

excited by that, and it's almost

5:08

romanticized to them. It's

5:10

exotic. Ooh, okay, intifada, this is what they're telling

5:12

us to chant. We'll just repeat it back. That's

5:14

some of them. Others, I'm

5:17

sure, absolutely know what it means,

5:19

and therefore, they just assume they would be

5:21

spared. They wouldn't be the

5:23

ones killed. It would be Jews, especially

5:26

the Zionist Jews. They'd be the ones killed, and maybe

5:28

some other Zionists like you and me, but

5:30

they would be spared from an

5:32

intifada. Maybe they'd be the ones partaking in

5:34

the intifada. It's hard to kind

5:37

of absolve them of that, isn't it? Well,

5:41

all of these people fall

5:43

into two categories, the sinister

5:45

and the silly. The

5:48

sinister are the ones who actually do love this.

5:51

They love the fact that,

5:53

clearly, that American students were

5:55

killed at the university in Jerusalem

5:57

in 2001 at the cafeteria. suicide

6:00

bombing. Presumably, they love that. So

6:02

these are people who love the

6:05

murder and mutilation of American

6:07

students their own age. So

6:09

those are the really sinister ones, that

6:12

we're very unlucky to have such

6:14

sick and deranged people on our

6:16

campuses or on our streets. But

6:20

as for the silly, how

6:22

incredibly ridiculous,

6:25

stupid, mentally impaired do you have

6:27

to be to shout

6:30

something you don't know

6:33

what it even means? I mean,

6:36

you know, I reckon I'm

6:38

quite a bright guy. You're a bright guy

6:40

guy. If we

6:42

were at an American campus, and

6:46

somebody just started chanting some word

6:48

we didn't know, would we join in?

6:51

No. Would we ask

6:54

what a word meant before

6:56

we chanted it? I reckon

6:58

so. I reckon I'd

7:00

have a quick look beforehand at

7:04

exactly what it was. So

7:06

how incredibly dumb do

7:09

these silly students have to be? What

7:12

ghouls they are, what

7:14

ill-educated ghouls they are,

7:17

that they stand on campus and

7:19

shout words they don't understand. They

7:21

have no right to be on

7:24

a campus if they're

7:26

that stupid. I

7:28

mean, nobody,

7:30

nobody with any

7:32

cognitive ability goes

7:35

around shouting slogans they don't

7:37

understand. So I find

7:39

the silly to be just

7:41

as problematic to use one of their

7:43

favorite words as the sinister. The

7:47

clips we played for you were from

7:49

Boston or Greater Boston, MIT. Then yesterday

7:51

in New York you had some

7:54

other charming scenes. Some of these people tried

7:56

to disrupt the Met Gala, and

7:58

in the process Well, here

8:01

in Cut 5 were a number

8:03

of young women in the full

8:05

Muslim headscarves chanting at the police,

8:07

Cut 5. Oink, oink,

8:09

piggy piggy, talking to the police,

8:12

we will make your lives and

8:14

then a word that we

8:21

can't use doesn't quite rhyme, but, you know, they

8:24

can only do so well. That

8:26

is one scene, a handful of

8:29

them. There was another scene nearby,

8:31

a war memorial, a memorial to

8:33

our war dead, where

8:35

they desecrated it with spray

8:38

paint, with Palestinian garb

8:40

and flags, and they also burned

8:42

an American flag in front

8:44

of it. Douglas, I know

8:46

some people say, look, even if we

8:48

support Israel, Guy, you're talking about this

8:50

a lot, it goes so

8:53

much deeper than Israel. It goes

8:55

so much deeper than the well-being of Jews.

8:57

Those are both extremely important to me. But

9:00

it's about people who hate our

9:03

civilization, hate our law enforcement, hate

9:05

what should be sacred to this

9:08

country, our veterans, our war dead,

9:10

our flag. I

9:12

think that's something that instinctively gets a

9:14

rise out of so many Americans, including

9:17

some of the people leading the backlash

9:19

on some of these campuses. Yes.

9:22

I mean, what everybody needs to

9:24

realize is that Israel is now,

9:26

as it has been for many

9:29

years since the Global Left decided

9:31

to adopt it as their

9:33

bogeyman, Israel is

9:35

just simply the first country in the

9:37

sights of these maniacs. But

9:39

it's always here in America that their

9:41

sights really are. You know,

9:44

they attack Israel for being

9:46

colonialists. Israel never

9:48

had a colony. It

9:50

was founded in 1948, and they don't

9:53

know what they're even talking about. But

9:55

they say colonialists about Israel because they

9:57

want to say colonialists about America. They

10:00

claim that Israel is some kind of

10:03

white supremacist society, and I invite them

10:05

to go to Israel any day, and

10:07

they'll see that that's

10:09

not accurate, not just not white

10:11

supremacists, but not white, an

10:14

incredibly diverse population. But they want

10:16

to say white supremacists about Israel

10:18

in order to say it about

10:20

America next. And they

10:22

want to ban the Star

10:25

of David. They want to burn the

10:27

Star of David in order to

10:30

burn the flag of the United

10:32

States of America next. They

10:34

want to insult the Israeli people

10:36

and the Israeli army, and they

10:39

want to attack and insult the

10:41

American police and the American army,

10:43

including the American war dead next.

10:46

They really show us what they

10:48

are, these people. They really show

10:51

us. And they show it again

10:53

and again. Anyone who

10:55

thinks this is Israel's problem is

10:58

kidding themselves. It's a

11:00

Western civilization problem. It's

11:03

a problem for civilization as a whole.

11:07

And the problem that we see here

11:09

clearly now is a generation

11:11

of students, some of whom have

11:14

been indoctrinated not only

11:16

into stupidity, but into wickedness,

11:19

a wicked, unforgivable

11:21

stupidity. Thankfully, there are

11:24

some people, including some students, who

11:26

are brave enough to push back

11:28

against that. And God bless them.

11:30

God bless the students who are

11:32

waving American flags and hanging American

11:34

flags up instead of

11:36

the jihadist flags that the

11:38

students are currently playing with,

11:41

and all these cosplay kids

11:43

dressing up as Palestinian

11:46

terrorists. And goodness

11:48

there are some smart, clever,

11:50

far, smarter, far cleverer American

11:53

students who are also

11:56

patriots who recognize what

11:58

these would-be jihad and

12:00

these cosplay jihadists are, and are

12:03

pushing back at them. I

12:06

think even if they're not steeped in the history

12:08

of the conflict, which of course neither are these

12:10

cosplayers, they don't know what they're talking about, they're

12:12

deeply ignorant, but the people on the

12:14

other side say, we see what they're doing to

12:17

statues of George Washington, for example, what they're

12:19

doing to our flag, the things that they're chanting,

12:21

we know deep in our bones we're

12:23

against that, that's wrong, they're against

12:25

what we stand for, and

12:27

they're pushing back, I think in a really

12:29

admirable way. Douglas Murray, thank you so
