This is not anymore about the seven men and women of World Central Kitchen
that perished on this unfortunate event.
This is happening way for too long.
It's been six months of targeting anything that seems moves.
This doesn't seem that is a lie.
This doesn't seem any more a war about defending Israel.
This really, at this point, seems it's a war against humanity itself.
Okay, that is a lie. And it's a disgusting lie.
On today's episode of Ben Shapiro's show, he ranted at length about
the international response to the IDF and its military operations, including
the three separate drone strikes the IDF carried out that led to the killing
of seven World Central kitchen workers.
Now, interestingly enough, Ben Shapiro feels that Chef Jose Andres
is a radical here for what he had to say during a sit down interview
with ABC news over the weekend.
Keep in mind that he's discussing his colleagues, people that he knew
personally, getting killed by the IDF, even though they had coordinated
their exact location with the IDF, even though the IDF knew
exactly where they were, even though there was no indication that there was anything
wrong with what they were doing.
Everything was above board, but they were killed in three separate drone strikes.
Anyway, important to know that context before we get to more
of what he had to say.
But before we do, Jake, what is it with Ben?
- Is it just this intense bias that he has. - Oh, 100% so.
Biased that he's unable to see straight in regard to what the IDF has done
and what the Israeli government has even taken responsibility for.
Pausing here to deliver some honest truth, as we do in our news coverage as well.
TYT is facing challenges, guys, as the entire industry is.
You know who could make the difference? You.
If you hit the join button below, it's going to make all the difference
and keep us in business.
We appreciate you. Thank you.
So I'll agree with him about one thing that he said about Jose Andres a little
bit later as we go through the story.
But, to your main question, Anna, of 45,000 buildings destroyed
in Khan Younis alone, that's just one city in Gaza, a 55% of the buildings there.
The human rights groups are calling it unlivable city.
And Ben Shapiro wants you to believe that all of that was just targeting terrorists,
destroying 55% of the buildings in his city just to target militants.
Okay.
I mean, you could believe that if you're the most gullible person
and I'm being polite here in the world, but no one else on planet Earth believes
that they're obviously leveling the place and destroying Gaza on purpose.
And, you know, Ben can do all he wants. And why is he doing it?
Obviously massive out of control bias.
Now, Shapiro took particular issue with Andress, referring to Israel's genocidal
campaign in Gaza, to be quite frank, as a war against humanity.
Let's listen to how Shapiro responded and reacted to that.
So Chef Jose Andres is the head of the World Central Kitchen
when he is not doing his chefing.
The World Central Kitchen does a lot of good work in bringing food
into very hard hit areas in terms of war.
Also, he is a political radical.
He's been a political radical for quite a while.
Those two things are not in particular contradiction.
You can do good things and you can do bad things.
Life is filled with these sorts of things.
He went on national TV and he suggested that what Israel is doing
is a war against humanity itself, which is a an incredibly vicious proposition.
It is not true that Israel is in a war with, quote unquote, humanity itself.
We're at war with humanity itself.
The World Central Kitchen never would have been coordinating with the
Israeli Defense Forces in the first place.
In any case, here's Chef Jose Andres, who again, is a political radical on the left.
Fascinating admission there, fascinating admission by Shapiro, where he made
abundantly clear that he is aware that the World Central Kitchen was coordinating
with the IDF, meaning that the IDF knew exactly where those humanitarian aid
workers were, knew exactly how to target them, and in fact, did target them.
Not with one drone strike, not with two drone strikes,
but with three separate drone strikes.
Remember that convoy of humanitarian aid trucks included three trucks.
They first hit the first truck and then as, you know,
as those people were basically, slaughtered through that drone strike.
They they attacked the second one and then the third one, ensuring that everyone
that was in that convoy was slaughtered.
Okay.
Seven individuals, three of them from the UK,
one of them a dual US Canadian citizen.
You had a Polish individual included as well, and a Palestinian driver,
all of them slaughtered, gone.
And the IDF claimed, well, we thought we thought we had a hint
that maybe, just maybe, jinc there was one armed terrorist with them.
And even though we didn't have any real solid Intel, we decided
to slaughter all of them anyway.
And was there an armed terrorist with them?
No. Yeah. So let's look at the layers of that.
First of all, you should shame any reporter that reports that as an accident.
Even the IDF admits it's not an accident.
There's a difference between an accident and a mistake.
They meant to hit the convoy.
They say that their rationale was that there was a Palestinian on board
and he was male.
So by IDF definition, he's a terrorist.
Oops. It turns out he's not a terrorist.
But did they intend to hit the, convoy? Yes, absolutely.
So, number one, they're saying, yeah, we'll kill aid workers from across,
that have come from across the world will murder you guys if we
think you're with a Palestinian male.
Okay, so that means you've admitted that you're terrorists, period.
You're saying I'm intentionally murdering civilians because I think
they're next to a guy I want to hit.
So even if they were right that the guy was theoretically a terrorist
at the Central World Central Kitchen didn't know about, you're still saying,
yes, I would like to murder these people that are next to you.
But that's not a radical position.
Jose Andres, who has lost people close to him, colleagues that he knew in person.
Okay.
Personally, he's the radical for speaking out against what happened to those
international humanitarian aid workers.
But Ben's not a radical. Ben's not a radical.
Considering the high volume of civilians that have been killed in Gaza,
something that he doesn't really care much about still supports Israel's
military operations because, again, his bias takes precedent,
takes priority over human lives as long as it's Israel carrying out the slaughter.
Yeah. So who's the radical?
I want to know who the radical is.
Yeah, I don't think that's even an open question.
I mean, look, but you guys can decide on yourself on your own because some of you
that have the same biases as Ben does for a lot of different reasons.
And so you'll look at that and go, now look, let me do the second layer first
and then you guys be the judge okay.
The second layer was well we're not really sure that it's a terrorist.
We just know that it's a male Palestinian.
And generally speaking, all male Palestinians that the IDF kills in Gaza.
They declare posthumously to be terrorists.
Exactly.
That's how they get to the outlandish 13,000 number, which isn't
anywhere near rooted in reality.
And that's based on reporting by Haaretz.
Okay, that's not based on us just guessing.
We're not just saying it.
This is based on reporting by an Israeli publication called Haaretz,
which we'll get to in a moment.
Yeah.
So in that case, it turns out, as usual, they were not at all sure that he was
a terrorist or a militant or anything.
And they decided, what the heck, let's murder everybody on board just in case.
Okay, so you guys tell me, what's the radical position?
Some of you that are as biased as Ben will say?
Yeah, no, the radical position is saying not murdering them.
Of course you murder them and then find out later if you got it right or wrong.
Who cares? We already murdered 33,000 of them.
We're starving a million of them. What part of this was unclear?
But they had it coming. Hamas is making us starve them.
Hamas is making us kill World Central kitchen workers, etc..
Yeah, but the rest of you, I imagine, which is about 98% of the world
at this point, goes no.
Are obviously committing acts of terrorism.
When you murder civilians on purpose and based on the flimsiest evidence
or no evidence, or even if it was one terrorist, you don't care at all
that you're killing other people.
Yeah, well, then that means you are a radical who thinks that murder
is perfectly fine as long as you're killing Palestinians or anyone
within the vicinity of a Palestinian.
See, what Ben doesn't realize is that his side of this argument
has gotten far too cocky.
And what I mean by that is, look, I get it.
At least here in the United States, you have government officials, members of
the media who have done a fantastic job.
They've really succeeded in dehumanizing the Palestinian people
to the point where, I mean, tens of thousands of them will get slaughtered.
And there's still a debate about whether the military conduct of the IDF is okay.
But once the IDF starts killing international humanitarian aid workers,
including an American citizen.
Oh, suddenly that strategy of dehumanizing,
dehumanizing people doesn't work.
It's not as effective.
And people start waking up to the reality on the ground in Gaza.
And he's furious about people speaking out, including Jose Andres,
who if I were him, I'd be.
I'm not even him.
And I'm furious about what has happened, right?
Because I care about human lives. That includes human lives.
On the Israeli side, we were furious after the atrocities that
Hamas committed on October 7th happened. Okay.
And I'm furious as we report this story day after day of Palestinian civilians
getting slaughtered in Gaza.
Let's go to the next video, because there's more insanity
from Ben Shapiro on this issue.
If it were a war against humanity itself.
Israel, as I've said a thousand times, has complete air superiority
over the Gaza Strip.
They could have just killed literally hundreds of thousands of people,
even according to Hamas statistics, which are largely falsified, Israel has killed
somewhere in the neighborhood of 32,000 people, according to Israeli statistics.
That includes at least 13,000 terrorists.
And one of the things about being a terrorist in the Gaza Strip is
that many of the people who are considered Non-terrorists are 18 year old men
who put down a gun for five minutes, and now they're non-terrorists,
and then they pick up the gun and now they're terrorists again.
What happened with the World Central Kitchen is indeed a tragedy.
Israel has not acknowledged that Israel has fears officers
who were alive despite the confused about what actually had thought.
By the way, some post did have a report as okay actually happened
with the world said.
It turns out that war zones are really dangerous
and you don't have perfect knowledge of what's going on at any given time.
No, the IDF didn't have perfect knowledge, even though the World Central Kitchen
was coordinating with the IDF to ensure that the IDF knew exactly where they were,
even though they were in an area, they were traveling in an area
that was supposed to be safe.
But what we're going to pretend like the IDF had no idea.
They were confused. They weren't confused.
They have even admitted that this was intentional.
Okay, again, one drone strike. Maybe.
Maybe Ben could get away with his fiction. Right?
With his lies here. Two drone strikes, three drone strikes.
How are you going to still sit there and spout these lies
and think you can get away with it?
And by the way, Ben, I mean, I would urge you to update your numbers
because he he noted that 13,000 Hamas militants were killed.
Right. Except that's not what the IDF is saying.
Let's go to the graphic here.
This is good reporting by an is a free publication.
And the Army says 9000 terrorists have been killed in the Gaza war began.
Defense officials and soldiers, however, tell Haaretz that these are often
civilians whose only crime was to cross an invisible line drawn by the IDF.
So tell me, Shapiro, whose numbers are suspicious.
Here, let me keep going.
And and in every case, commanders differ in are such kill zones were, he says,
a reserve officer that Haaretz spoke to.
This means clear red lines that no one who is not from the IDF may cross, so
that our forces in the area are not hit.
The boundaries of these kill zones are not determined in advance,
meaning that Palestinian civilians don't know they exist, and they might
unwittingly walk into a so-called kill zone or combat zone, and they get killed
immediately as soon as people enter it, this reserve officer said.
Mainly adult males.
Orders are to shoot and kill even if that person is unarmed,
says the reserve officer.
One more graphic for you in practice, a terrorist's name anyone the IDF has
used killed in the areas in which its forces operate, says a reserve officer
who has served in, So so the number that Shapiro do, you see 13,000 Hamas
militants who have been killed already?
Enfield.
Okay, did something to the IDF, to ATF, and then even 10,000 figure less inflated
by the IDF, because they just, any adult, they kill an the militant every year.
Yeah.
So there are many numbers that are inescapable. 33,000 dead confirmed
by the Associated Press and every other, news organization,
20,000 of them are women and children.
That's notice Ben Shapiro said there are kids.
Really kids?
I mean, how do we know if they didn't pick up a gun at some point in their lives?
By the way, if you use that standard in America, what would happen then?
You saw Lauren Boebert and several other Republican congressmen
do photo shoots during Christmas with all their kids carrying AR 15 seconds,
according to the Shapiro Standard.
They should have all been murdered by the IDF, because if you pick up a gun
when you're a kid, at any point, you're a terrorist.
Okay, so now of course that's not true. And he made up that they have guns.
There's very little guns in Gaza.
And so basically it's all a way of saying, yeah, we murdered a lot of kids, but are
they really kids if they're Palestinians?
Now, whenever this stuff happens, I want you to always think in both sides, flip it
and see if you're comfortable with it.
So if Hamas had killed 33,000 Israelis already, I mean, look at the damage
that's been done after 1200 were killed.
Imagine if they killed 33,000 Israelis and they would not stop.
And they kept killing and killing, killing.
And 23,000 of those were women and children.
And then the Hamas said, yeah, but so what?
I bet those kids were guilty.
At some point, everyone would say, that's the most outrageous, horrible
terrorist statement I've ever heard.
We'd have troops on the ground by now.
Yeah, we would do us, would have troops on the ground fighting Hamas as we speak,
that that is what would happen.
Yeah.
So more on the numbers real quick. 13,000 dead IDF says yeah, just kidding. 9000.
Okay, so you were lying about the 13,000. And that's not stopped.
Ben Shapiro and almost every other right wing media outlet
from continuing the lie of 13,000, even though the IDF admits they were lying.
And then you add in the kill zones that Anna talked about.
And by the way, you've already seen what a kill zone looks like.
That's why they killed the three, their own hostages, the three hostages
that had no shirt and the white flag.
Because the Israelis.
Yeah, the Israeli hostages, because, they were in a kill zone.
So the order in a kill zone is murder.
Everyone in the zone and then later call them terrorists.
I don't know if those three Israeli hostages are part of the 9000 count
because they were killed in a kill zone.
So I guess by the definition, those Israeli hostages were terrorists.
Okay, so this is insanity and total.
The one tiny thing about Jose Andres that Shapiro said in the whole long
segment that I agreed with was, he said he has a lot of power in Washington.
That's true.
He has the top restaurants in Washington, and the people in D.C.
Are unbearable, and they care about things like that.
But is it true that Jose Andres, because of his restaurants,
is flipping all of Washington?
Of course not. That's insanity.
The whole world is saying, are you guys nuts?
And finally, did you notice what he bragged about?
Well, if we wanted to murder everyone in Gaza, we could.
Oh, so it's not a holocaust. It's only a genocide.
That's got to be the lowest bar in history.
Well, we didn't do a holocaust against them.
We didn't try to murder every single Palestinian in the world.
We just did a genocide where we killed tons of Palestinians based on the fact
that they were Palestinians.
And we did ethnic cleansing and we destroyed where they live.
And so you should give us credit for only doing a genocide.
Yeah. No deal.
Yeah.
I mean, there's a possibility that Israel didn't want to lose
its moral high ground immediately.
They would prefer to do it slowly, Tortuously painfully.
And they're getting there. I mean, they've been there already.
For people who've been paying close attention to how the IDF has carried out
this war, but the international community and an increasing percentage of Americans
are waking up to what's happening.
And Ben doesn't know how to spin the story anymore, despite the fact that most
people know the facts about what happened in those three drone strikes that
killed seven humanitarian aid workers.
