- 0:05SPEAKER_00: Who are these people?
- 0:09SPEAKER_01: We're going to get to the incredible Indie Media Award honoree.
- 0:16SPEAKER_01: There's not many sacred cows.
- 0:18SPEAKER_01: I talk about this a lot,
- 0:20SPEAKER_01: but one of the journalists that I rely on the most,
- 0:24SPEAKER_01: honestly,
- 0:25SPEAKER_01: to get the story right and bring me stuff I haven't heard before,
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: Is a guy by the name of Alan McLeod over at Mint Press News.
- 0:32SPEAKER_01: Again, years ago I created something called the Indie Media Awards to honor some of
- 0:37SPEAKER_01: the best of the best.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: I set up pages with links to all of their pages elsewhere so you can just follow them.
- 0:43SPEAKER_01: And there's about 75 or 80 of them there.
- 0:45SPEAKER_01: And then we contracted with this artist Zago to create images of all of them.
- 0:53SPEAKER_01: So we have images of all the honorees.
- 0:54SPEAKER_01: Very cool.
- 0:55SPEAKER_01: MinPressNews is doing a fun drive, by the way.
- 0:59SPEAKER_01: We just became Patreon subscribers at INN Monthly for, I think it was $8.99 a month.
- 1:05SPEAKER_01: That's the base level.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: And they really need support.
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: They're under attack constantly, and they really are an outstanding outlet, big fans.
- 1:15SPEAKER_01: What's going on here is that Alan uncovered and is reporting on a spy,
- 1:21SPEAKER_01: a former Unit 8200 spy that's now working in Germany to do what?
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: Driving crackdown on the Palestine Solidarity Movement.
- 1:34SPEAKER_01: So the German anti-Semitism expert driving the crackdown is a former Israeli spy.
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: And this was published just the other day over at Mint Press and exclusive over there.
- 1:47SPEAKER_01: A Munich-based anti-Semitism expert organizing political action is helping restrict
- 1:53SPEAKER_01: pro-Palestine protests across Germany.
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: Guess what?
- 1:56SPEAKER_01: He's a former Israeli spy, Mint Press can reveal.
- 2:00SPEAKER_01: Since October 7, 2023,
- 2:02SPEAKER_01: Guy Katz,
- 2:03SPEAKER_01: professor of the International Management at Munich University of Applied Sciences,
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: has become one of the leading figures in German politics on the subject of Israel
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: and quote-unquote anti-Semitism.
- 2:17SPEAKER_01: Katz has founded numerous organizations purporting to fight anti-Semitism,
- 2:22SPEAKER_01: spoke in parliament,
- 2:23SPEAKER_01: and worked with police to help them crack down on anti-Israel speech.
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: Fucker.
- 2:29SPEAKER_01: He is, however,
- 2:29SPEAKER_01: reportedly a former spy for Israeli intelligence outfit Mossad,
- 2:35SPEAKER_01: something that's never disclosed in the widespread coverage
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: and amplification he receives in Germany and international media.
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: What a surprise.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: I wonder why Mint Press explores this operation.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: So we get to their anti-Semitism kaisach.
- 2:56SPEAKER_01: Since October 2023,
- 2:57SPEAKER_01: Guy Katz has emerged as one of the most influential political actors in Germany on
- 3:02SPEAKER_01: the question of Israel-Palestine,
- 3:04SPEAKER_01: founding numerous pressure groups and working with authorities to crush opposition
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: to genocide, all under the guise of, of course, fighting anti-Semitism.
- 3:15SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
- 3:16SPEAKER_01: Really what he's doing is crushing dissent against genocide and
- 3:21SPEAKER_01: against Israel murdering children and starving them and denying them food,
- 3:26SPEAKER_01: water, and aid.
- 3:28SPEAKER_01: Earlier this year, he founded, quote-unquote, anti-Semitism?
- 3:32SPEAKER_01: Not in my name!
- 3:33SPEAKER_01: A cross-party organization aimed at stamping out Jewish hatred across Germany.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: And of course, that is wonderful if there actually is hatred against Jews versus Zionists.
- 3:49SPEAKER_01: Katz has managed to enlist every major party in the Bavarian State Parliament,
- 3:54SPEAKER_01: with the exception of the fascist AFD party, who were barred from joining.
- 3:59SPEAKER_01: This, despite AFD's strong support for Israel.
- 4:03SPEAKER_01: They would have joined this.
- 4:06SPEAKER_01: The group aims to make philo-Semitism extremely visible and send a message to
- 4:12SPEAKER_01: the whole country.
- 4:13SPEAKER_01: Quote, many are against anti-Semitism, but too few make their stance visible.
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: This campaign makes taking a stand part of everyday life.
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: Okay, but the problem is that their definition of anti-Semitism is insane.
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: Anti-Semitism Without Me, another organization, builds upon the work of Dr. Reagan Hess.
- 4:38SPEAKER_01: Okay, Germany, Australia, Switzerland against hate.
- 4:41SPEAKER_01: An alliance of over 200 organizations and the Munich branch have run for their lives.
- 4:48SPEAKER_01: Is that what the Palestinians are doing?
- 4:51SPEAKER_01: That's messed up.
- 4:52SPEAKER_01: A group that organizes marches demanding the release of Israeli prisoners from Gaza.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: There are none.
- 4:59SPEAKER_01: Both of which Katz founded or co-founded.
- 5:02SPEAKER_01: There is no...
- 5:03SPEAKER_01: They did release them all.
- 5:05SPEAKER_01: What the fuck are you talking...
- 5:06SPEAKER_01: The only people running for their lives are the Palestinians from
- 5:09SPEAKER_01: the bombs being dropped on their heads.
- 5:14SPEAKER_01: On October 6, 2024,
- 5:17SPEAKER_01: he also planned and led a large rally in solidarity with Israel and Munich,
- 5:21SPEAKER_01: an action that brought 30,000 people together to denounce Hamas
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: and anti-Semitic violence, quote-unquote.
- 5:31SPEAKER_01: Katz's activism has led him to being invited into the halls of German power.
- 5:36SPEAKER_01: Last year, he addressed the Bavarian parliament.
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: Lecturing them on anti-Semitism and telling them explicitly, quote, never again is now.
- 5:45SPEAKER_01: Yes, but it's also for the Palestinian people, dumbass.
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: He now works with the police and with universities in Germany,
- 5:54SPEAKER_01: that's frightening,
- 5:55SPEAKER_01: developing training programs to instruct them on how
- 5:58SPEAKER_01: to best eliminate what he identifies as Jew hatred.
- 6:03SPEAKER_01: And of course,
- 6:03SPEAKER_01: that just means support for the Palestinian people in fighting for their homeland.
- 6:10SPEAKER_01: In October of 2025,
- 6:13SPEAKER_01: he hosted an event in Munich commemorating the second anniversary of
- 6:16SPEAKER_01: the October 7th attacks.
- 6:18SPEAKER_01: Was he celebrating?
- 6:21SPEAKER_01: There he interviewed Naftali Bennett,
- 6:23SPEAKER_01: the former Israeli Prime Minister,
- 6:25SPEAKER_01: who has strongly supported the IDF's actions in Gaza and has participated
- 6:30SPEAKER_01: in numerous war crimes himself.
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: Katz, however, declared himself impressed by the politician.
- 6:39SPEAKER_01: Katz is constantly quoted in the media,
- 6:42SPEAKER_01: both German,
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: Israeli,
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: and also the international press,
- 6:45SPEAKER_01: who universally accept his self-appointed designation as an anti-Semitism expert.
- 6:53SPEAKER_01: In short,
- 6:53SPEAKER_01: it's difficult to overemphasize how influential he's been in
- 6:56SPEAKER_01: the debate around Israel and the supposed explosion of quote-unquote anti-Semitism
- 7:04SPEAKER_01: in Germany.
- 7:07SPEAKER_01: Throughout his tireless activism, his message is clear.
- 7:11SPEAKER_01: The primary threat comes not from the fascist right, who,
- 7:14SPEAKER_01: less than a century ago,
- 7:16SPEAKER_01: carried out a genocidal extermination campaign against Jewish people across Europe,
- 7:22SPEAKER_01: but from the left.
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: Quote,
- 7:35SPEAKER_01: Judi Shariman, okay,
- 7:39SPEAKER_01: claiming that the situation for German Jews today is very similar to the lead-up
- 7:46SPEAKER_01: to World War II, thanks to the threat the left poses.
- 7:52SPEAKER_01: Except that the left has not been violent in any way, shape, or form.
- 7:57SPEAKER_01: They've been the most nonviolent of all,
- 8:00SPEAKER_01: and they're even getting the nonviolent protests proscribed as,
- 8:04SPEAKER_01: quote-unquote, terrorism.
- 8:06SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
- 8:08SPEAKER_01: This guy's got to go.
- 8:10SPEAKER_01: He decried a German court's ruling not to ban a pro-Palestine march
- 8:14SPEAKER_01: at Ludwig Mucksmillian University in Munich.
- 8:17SPEAKER_01: Claiming that it was, quote,
- 8:19SPEAKER_01: blatantly anti-Semitic,
- 8:20SPEAKER_01: unquote, because it, quote, incites hatred towards Israel, unquote.
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: Justified by engaging in, quote, the original form of anti-Semitism.
- 8:32SPEAKER_01: Alleging that Israel is killing Palestinian babies and stealing organs from their victims.
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: Which they are, and they're readily admitting to on their own TV.
- 8:44SPEAKER_01: In this case, however, it's not a blood libel but an established fact.
- 8:49SPEAKER_01: As Alan points out and documents,
- 8:51SPEAKER_01: Israel has a long and well-documented recent history of organ theft and has killed,
- 8:58SPEAKER_01: again,
- 8:58SPEAKER_01: and I'm not going to say it,
- 9:00SPEAKER_01: more than, well more than 20,000 Palestinian children over the past three years.
- 9:05SPEAKER_01: Probably add another zero to that, according to Kareem.
- 9:09SPEAKER_01: Over 1,000 of whom were infants under the age of one.
- 9:12SPEAKER_01: Well over 1,000, again, add another zero to that, so that would be 10,000.
- 9:20SPEAKER_01: One particular person of the left that Katz has singled out, oh,
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: with all the bombs and missiles that she possesses in her arsenal
- 9:27SPEAKER_01: to bomb Israel back, is Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.
- 9:32SPEAKER_01: Awful, horrible,
- 9:35SPEAKER_01: the most dangerous person on the planet,
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: apparently,
- 9:37SPEAKER_01: who in 2025 was abducted,
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: of course,
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: by Israeli special forces while trying to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza aboard
- 9:45SPEAKER_01: the Freedom Flotilla or the Handela Flotilla.
- 9:48SPEAKER_01: She was on a couple of them.
- 9:50SPEAKER_01: In which case, Israel intercepted, oh, right,
- 9:54SPEAKER_01: kidnapped them in international waters,
- 9:57SPEAKER_01: brought them back to Israel,
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: threw them in prison,
- 10:00SPEAKER_01: assaulted her in front of her other flotilla shipmates,
- 10:06SPEAKER_01: and then expelled her,
- 10:08SPEAKER_01: kicked her out,
- 10:08SPEAKER_01: told her to never come back,
- 10:10SPEAKER_01: which she wasn't planning on except for to deliver aid to Gaza again.
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: And she's going to do it again.
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: They're organizing another one for next month.
- 10:20SPEAKER_01: So, Katz,
- 10:21SPEAKER_01: of course,
- 10:21SPEAKER_01: simultaneously rejects the categorization of Israel's actions in Gaza as a genocide,
- 10:26SPEAKER_01: forget all the experts,
- 10:28SPEAKER_01: forget all the studies,
- 10:29SPEAKER_01: forget everything else,
- 10:30SPEAKER_01: while asserting that Hamas has committed a genocide against Christians,
- 10:35SPEAKER_01: and in What have they been bombing the last three years?
- 10:38SPEAKER_01: That seems to be a, you should be really, really bad with your bombs.
- 10:55SPEAKER_01: Or maybe you actually have eradicated most of Hamas,
- 10:59SPEAKER_01: you've killed all their leaders,
- 11:00SPEAKER_01: all their negotiators,
- 11:01SPEAKER_01: and now you're murdering women,
- 11:03SPEAKER_01: children,
- 11:03SPEAKER_01: everybody running for their lives,
- 11:05SPEAKER_01: people sleeping in literally abandoned husks of buildings,
- 11:10SPEAKER_01: and they're bombing those too.
- 11:13SPEAKER_01: And then some of them are dying from collapses we talked about last week.
- 11:17SPEAKER_01: Crazy.
- 11:19SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 11:20SPEAKER_01: In a public video,
- 11:21SPEAKER_01: this clown insists that Israel's attacks on schools and hospitals are justifiable
- 11:26SPEAKER_01: because, of course, Hamas hiding weapons standard.
- 11:29SPEAKER_01: This guy's like Daniel Hagari and refers to the people of Gaza,
- 11:33SPEAKER_01: including children,
- 11:35SPEAKER_01: as so-called innocents and so-called civilians because
- 11:39SPEAKER_01: an infant definitely is skilled at handling weaponry.
- 11:44SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
- 11:46SPEAKER_01: On the other hand,
- 11:47SPEAKER_01: Katz has singled out President Donald Trump for unique praise,
- 11:50SPEAKER_01: describing him as the architect of peace in the Middle East.
- 11:54SPEAKER_01: No, not peace,
- 11:56SPEAKER_01: eradication of Muslims within the territory they deem to be Israel
- 12:00SPEAKER_01: that shouldn't exist anymore.
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: And yes, Miss Rachel certainly scares them.
- 12:07SPEAKER_01: They've nominated her for anti-Semitism of the year, anti-Semite of the year.
- 12:12SPEAKER_01: All right, they have fragile feels.
- 12:15SPEAKER_01: Yes, they are very much in their fifis.
- 12:18SPEAKER_01: So we get to how is this guy a spy?
- 12:21SPEAKER_01: Guy Katz moved to Germany in 2004 and again has built a successful career,
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: now teaching conflict resolution,
- 12:28SPEAKER_01: management, negotiation, and strategy at Munich University of Applied Sciences.
- 12:34SPEAKER_01: What he does not adequately disclose in his political activism
- 12:38SPEAKER_01: and his media interviews are the details of his pre-German past.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: That is because Guy Katz is a former quote-unquote Mossad spy.
- 12:48SPEAKER_01: And we know there's no such thing as a former spy.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: In a lecture he gave at the University of Nairobi in 2023
- 12:54SPEAKER_01: before he became nationally known as one of the chief pro-Israel activists
- 12:59SPEAKER_01: in Germany,
- 13:00SPEAKER_01: He reportedly revealed that he is a former secret agent with
- 13:03SPEAKER_01: the infamous spying agency.
- 13:06SPEAKER_01: During the lecture,
- 13:07SPEAKER_01: he gave details about the adage that former,
- 13:11SPEAKER_01: like I said, quote-unquote spies, never truly leave the business of espionage.
- 13:15SPEAKER_01: Wait!
- 13:18SPEAKER_01: He said that, not me.
- 13:20SPEAKER_01: He said that.
- 13:23SPEAKER_01: Um...
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: Katz told those attending,
- 13:25SPEAKER_01: the university wrote on its official website that Mossad has learned the art
- 13:30SPEAKER_01: of releasing an agent.
- 13:33SPEAKER_01: He stated that in the military and secret service,
- 13:36SPEAKER_01: there's a department that caters for retired security officers,
- 13:41SPEAKER_01: an admission that raises the question
- 13:43SPEAKER_01: of how much contact former Mossad operatives have with the organization.
- 13:48SPEAKER_01: Quite a bit.
- 13:50SPEAKER_01: This assertion appears to be corroborated by Katz's profile on Expert Marketplace,
- 13:56SPEAKER_01: a bookmarking platform for public speakers.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: Katz notes that one of his lecture topics is called Communicating Like
- 14:04SPEAKER_01: a Mossad Agent,
- 14:06SPEAKER_01: a presentation that is based on real stories and shows what managers can learn
- 14:12SPEAKER_01: from them.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: These guys can't help but admit this stuff.
- 14:16SPEAKER_01: They're bragging about it.
- 14:19SPEAKER_01: In other profiles,
- 14:20SPEAKER_01: he's listed as a former IDF intelligence officer,
- 14:24SPEAKER_01: a designation that hints at his possible involvement with controversial Unit 8200.
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: The reason this past is problematic is that these organizations have a long history
- 14:37SPEAKER_01: of carrying out espionage,
- 14:39SPEAKER_01: psychological operations,
- 14:41SPEAKER_01: terror attacks,
- 14:43SPEAKER_01: and targeted killings around the world, even and especially in allied countries.
- 14:50SPEAKER_01: Mossad executed a series of assassinations of Iranian scientists involved in
- 14:54SPEAKER_01: the country's nuclear energy program,
- 14:57SPEAKER_01: while both it and Unit 8200 have been identified as behind
- 15:01SPEAKER_01: the 2024 Lebanese pager attack,
- 15:04SPEAKER_01: an incident near universally decried as an act of terror that injured thousands
- 15:12SPEAKER_01: of civilians.
- 15:13SPEAKER_01: Then literally this week at the UN, Netanyahu held up the pager and said, remember this?
- 15:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we remember that you committed an act of terror,
- 15:24SPEAKER_01: organized it,
- 15:25SPEAKER_01: authorized it, and now are bragging about it and are still standing here unarrested.
- 15:31SPEAKER_01: Bob Donnie's weak.
- 15:33SPEAKER_01: Trump is weak.
- 15:33SPEAKER_01: They're all weak.
- 15:35SPEAKER_01: And they're all on board.
- 15:38SPEAKER_01: Unit 8200,
- 15:39SPEAKER_01: meanwhile,
- 15:39SPEAKER_01: as we've talked about before many times,
- 15:41SPEAKER_01: is the centerpiece of Israel's high-tech surveillance and digital warfare operation.
- 15:46SPEAKER_01: Alan has done extensive articles about this.
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: People who work at Apple, people who work across social media, people who work at TikTok.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: The elite group handles Israel's cyber warfare, hacking, and influence operations.
- 16:01SPEAKER_01: Its former,
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: again used in quotes,
- 16:03SPEAKER_01: agents were,
- 16:04SPEAKER_01: for example,
- 16:05SPEAKER_01: behind the creation and distribution of the notorious Pegasus app, NSO group.
- 16:11SPEAKER_01: Pegasus is a piece of software that was used to hack into and spy on more
- 16:15SPEAKER_01: than 50,000 prominent individuals worldwide including journalists,
- 16:21SPEAKER_01: human rights leaders,
- 16:22SPEAKER_01: activists, and politicians including European heads of state like Angela Merkel.
- 16:28SPEAKER_01: We know this as fact.
- 16:31SPEAKER_01: Pegasus gave the Israeli intelligence services back doors into the devices
- 16:36SPEAKER_01: of all those affected, allowing them to spy on dozens of countries at once.
- 16:42SPEAKER_01: I remember very famously,
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: Jimmy Dore admitted on his show while Whitney Webb was there as she was leaving that
- 16:49SPEAKER_01: when he went to the UN, he felt like they put Pegasus on his phone.
- 16:54SPEAKER_01: He said, so they got me.
- 16:56SPEAKER_00: And I clipped
- 16:57SPEAKER_00: that and sent that out.
- 16:58SPEAKER_00: I remember a while back.
- 17:01SPEAKER_01: It is surely relevant that a member of this sort of organization is leading
- 17:04SPEAKER_01: a pressure campaign aimed at prohibiting pro-Palestine speech in Germany,
- 17:09SPEAKER_01: which Germany,
- 17:10SPEAKER_01: of course,
- 17:11SPEAKER_01: is all too happy to oblige because they're just as censorious and on board
- 17:16SPEAKER_01: with Israel.
- 17:17SPEAKER_01: And again, I guess if there's a genocide to be had, the Germans are right there to support it.
- 17:24SPEAKER_01: So, destroying democracy to defend a genocide.
- 17:28SPEAKER_01: And remember,
- 17:29SPEAKER_01: they constantly call this The only democracy in the Middle East,
- 17:34SPEAKER_01: mockingly or ridiculously.
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: There's no reason for them to do so.
- 17:39SPEAKER_01: The German establishment,
- 17:41SPEAKER_01: including all major parties,
- 17:42SPEAKER_01: has offered virtually unqualified endorsement for Israel and its actions in Gaza.
- 17:48SPEAKER_01: Its support has included signing a military collaboration and cooperation agreement
- 17:53SPEAKER_01: and the sale of nearly a billion dollars in weapons in the first five months
- 17:57SPEAKER_01: of 2026 alone.
- 18:00SPEAKER_01: Few people know about that.
- 18:02SPEAKER_01: The most significant transaction was the delivery of
- 18:05SPEAKER_01: a German-made Dolphin II-class attack submarine delivered to Tel Aviv in July.
- 18:11SPEAKER_01: Huh.
- 18:13SPEAKER_01: How many countries could they even attack with a submarine?
- 18:17SPEAKER_01: This elite wall-to-wall solidarity is in stark contrast to the general population.
- 18:25SPEAKER_01: A 2025 YouGov survey,
- 18:28SPEAKER_01: and we know that surveys are all biased and bullshit,
- 18:31SPEAKER_01: found widespread revulsion with Israel,
- 18:34SPEAKER_01: with eight times as many Germans holding highly negative views of the country
- 18:39SPEAKER_01: as highly positive ones.
- 18:41SPEAKER_01: That mirrors TikTok and a lot of social media as well.
- 18:45SPEAKER_01: In total,
- 18:45SPEAKER_01: only 21% of the public see Israel in a positive light,
- 18:49SPEAKER_01: including only 4% highly positive,
- 18:53SPEAKER_01: with 65% displaying open opposition, including 32% strongly disliking.
- 19:01SPEAKER_01: Another recent poll found 62% of all voters believe Israel is carrying out
- 19:06SPEAKER_01: a genocide in Gaza, because the other 38% are blind, brainwashed, or stupid.
- 19:14SPEAKER_01: When taking out those who said they didn't know or didn't answer,
- 19:17SPEAKER_01: nearly four in five Germans responded
- 19:19SPEAKER_01: that they considered Israel's actions genocidal.
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: Because they are, admittedly,
- 19:25SPEAKER_01: self-admittedly.
- 19:27SPEAKER_01: They're proud of it.
- 19:28SPEAKER_01: Like this mental gymnastics of, nuh-uh.
- 19:34SPEAKER_01: They're the ones that brag on their own TV stations and in their own newspapers
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: about it more than anyone.
- 19:42SPEAKER_01: Germany has seen widespread pro-Palestine actions across the country,
- 19:47SPEAKER_01: but they've been met with force from the authorities,
- 19:49SPEAKER_01: which we've been covering for two plus years.
- 19:53SPEAKER_01: I remember when they had that pro-Palestine...
- 19:59SPEAKER_01: The Palestine Conference in Munich.
- 20:01SPEAKER_01: And they sent 20,000 or 2,000 cops, basically one for every attendee or 10 for every attendee.
- 20:08SPEAKER_01: It was crazy how they raided that place, how they turned away.
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: Ghassan Abusida,
- 20:15SPEAKER_01: a doctor who flew in from the UK to give a speech there,
- 20:19SPEAKER_01: turned him away at the border or at the airport and sent him back home
- 20:24SPEAKER_01: without delivering his speech.
- 20:25SPEAKER_01: He had to deliver it remotely, which he got sanctioned for
- 20:30SPEAKER_00: by Germany.
- 20:31SPEAKER_01: He wasn't allowed to re-enter Germany.
- 20:34SPEAKER_01: So thousands have been arrested,
- 20:37SPEAKER_01: while images of mass riot police brutalizing non-violent protesters across
- 20:41SPEAKER_01: the country regularly go viral.
- 20:43SPEAKER_01: And it continues.
- 20:46SPEAKER_01: The German state has moved to effectively criminalize pro-Palestine speech
- 20:50SPEAKER_01: and protest under the rubric of Staatsstration, or reasons of state.
- 20:57SPEAKER_01: A doctrine that claims commitment to Israeli security is a non-negotiable
- 21:03SPEAKER_01: and unquestionable pillar of the German state.
- 21:07SPEAKER_01: They're trying to persecute author and journalist C.J.
- 21:10SPEAKER_01: Hopkins for that.
- 21:12SPEAKER_01: In 2024,
- 21:13SPEAKER_01: in response to the growing wave of unrest,
- 21:16SPEAKER_01: the government passed a law requiring those applying for German citizenship
- 21:21SPEAKER_01: to swear what amounts to a loyalty oath to Israel and Zionism,
- 21:26SPEAKER_01: acknowledging the state's right to exist.
- 21:29SPEAKER_01: They have the right to go fuck themselves.
- 21:33SPEAKER_01: More than 9,000 criminal charges were registered at pro-Palestine protests
- 21:37SPEAKER_01: in Berlin alone in the first 18 months after the October 7th attacks.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: Most Germans actually do support Palestine.
- 21:47SPEAKER_01: Numerous Palestinian or pro-Palestine groups have been outlawed,
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: as have popular chants,
- 21:54SPEAKER_01: such as from the river to the sea,
- 21:55SPEAKER_01: Palestine will be free, or I support Palestine action.
- 22:01SPEAKER_01: The reaction from authorities,
- 22:02SPEAKER_01: arguably the toughest in Europe,
- 22:05SPEAKER_01: you mean the strictest,
- 22:06SPEAKER_01: I don't know about toughest,
- 22:07SPEAKER_01: has drawn bitter condemnation from the UN,
- 22:10SPEAKER_01: toothless,
- 22:11SPEAKER_01: and from groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch,
- 22:15SPEAKER_01: who've highlighted issues such as state-sanctioned discrimination against Muslims
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: and soft bans on symbols of resistance such as kefias and Palestinian flags.
- 22:27SPEAKER_01: Israel itself has identified Germany as a key battleground
- 22:31SPEAKER_01: in what Prime Minister Benjamin War Criminal Netanyahu calls
- 22:35SPEAKER_01: the country's Eighth Front, a battle for Western public opinion.
- 22:41SPEAKER_01: To that end,
- 22:42SPEAKER_01: it has spent vast sums targeting with German language messaging,
- 22:48SPEAKER_01: extolling Israel,
- 22:49SPEAKER_01: and comparing Hamas to ISIS,
- 22:52SPEAKER_01: which is a Western-led group that we use to terrorize Muslims,
- 22:57SPEAKER_01: but that's another story,
- 22:59SPEAKER_01: and other terrorist groups, a 2025 Mint Press investigation found.
- 23:05SPEAKER_01: I think we actually probably read that, or Reef and Colin did over on INN News.
- 23:10SPEAKER_01: Insane.
- 23:10SPEAKER_01: Again, what's funny again is that ISIS stands for Israeli Secret Intelligence Service.
- 23:18SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, and then Netanyahu is known for allowing money to flow into Gaza to support Hamas.
- 23:26SPEAKER_01: And he's been quoted as saying Hamas actually existing was a good thing
- 23:31SPEAKER_01: because it gives them somebody to fight against in Gaza.
- 23:36SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
- 23:38SPEAKER_01: Israel and the pro-Israel lobby,
- 23:41SPEAKER_01: and we've talked about the Hasbara operation and Brad Parscale and Havas Media,
- 23:46SPEAKER_01: which is a global operation including offices in Germany,
- 23:50SPEAKER_01: are trying hard to conflate any opposition to its actions in Gaza,
- 23:53SPEAKER_01: Lebanon,
- 23:54SPEAKER_01: and beyond as akin to terrorism and anti-Semitism, which is what they're doing.
- 23:58SPEAKER_01: Again, projection is...
- 24:01SPEAKER_01: is quite strong in these people.
- 24:04SPEAKER_01: Katz and his campaign are a major part of this.
- 24:07SPEAKER_01: Whether they will succeed in stemming the wave of pro-Palestine sympathy remains to be seen.
- 24:13SPEAKER_01: They can't.
- 24:14SPEAKER_01: They're not going to be able to stem it out.
- 24:15SPEAKER_01: They may be able to make it illegal.
- 24:18SPEAKER_01: What's going to happen is it'll end up going underground.
- 24:21SPEAKER_01: And remember what happened the last time opposition to Something that they tried
- 24:26SPEAKER_01: to conflate and equate to Jews went underground.
- 24:30SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it didn't turn out very well for the non-Israel supporting Jews as well.
- 24:36SPEAKER_01: And we certainly don't want to see that.
- 24:38SPEAKER_01: And that's personal for me.
- 24:40SPEAKER_01: But that's a great article by Alan McLeod over at Mint Press News.
- 24:46SPEAKER_01: Okay, there's some other articles by Alan.
- 24:49SPEAKER_01: And again, we are a paid monthly subscriber over there.
- 24:53SPEAKER_01: This is this guy, Katz.
- 24:56SPEAKER_01: Okay, his name is Guy Katz.
- 24:59SPEAKER_01: And the thumbnail I made showed...
- 25:02SPEAKER_01: Spy.
- 25:03SPEAKER_01: That's what this guy is.
- 25:05SPEAKER_01: He's intelligence.
- 25:07SPEAKER_01: He admitted it at an African conference and other credentials list him as military intelligence.
- 25:15SPEAKER_01: Spy.
- 25:17SPEAKER_01: And we know that there's no such thing as a former spy.
- 25:22SPEAKER_01: Good piece by Al.
- 25:24SPEAKER_00: Good background as well.
