 I want to play a clip from a guy called Bassem Yousef. He was known as the Arab John Stuart and I interviewed him recently about the war and he said this about you. The saddest thing that I saw is the people that were in so much support of Israel are anti-Semite themselves. M.T.G. M.T.G. Marjorie Taylor Greene, you know. She said like, I send my aides and they took pictures of the protesters. Basically she's surveilling protesters and M.T.G. is very known for a very famous post in 2018 where she blamed the California wildfires on a Jewish space laser gun. You just watched Marjorie Greene get confronted with comedian Bassem Yousef's criticism of right-wing supporters of Israel like her. Now in that clip that Pierce was playing for her, Bassem went on to make a broader point about this double standard by supporters of Israel who will conflate any and all criticism of Israel's government with anti-Semitism. Meanwhile, evangelicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene who literally spread anti-Semitic lies about Jewish space lasers get a pass because they support the actions of Israel's government. So if you don't say anything about their use of white phosphorus or collective punishment or indiscriminate bombings in Gaza, you can be as anti-Semitic as you want and they won't say anything. It's very disgusting. Now to be clear, this isn't just a Marjorie Greene problem. This is a broader trend with the support Israel movement and I wanna show you what I mean before we get to her response. So thousands marched on DC in support of Israel's genocide in Gaza and it featured a diverse group of psychopaths from Democrats like Van Jones, Chuck Schumer and John Federman to Christo Fascists like Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson who said calls for a ceasefire were quote outrageous and it even featured evangelical pastor John Hage who once claimed that Hitler was sent by God and even blamed Jewish people for the Holocaust saying their disobedience towards God led to their persecution. That's a little bit of a snapshot of the people who participated in this rally along with Democratic Party leader Hakim Jeffries. Now those comments from John Hage were so detestable, obviously so that even Republican John McCain rejected his endorsement in 2008. But at this rally, John Hage in anti-Semite was welcomed with open arms including by John McCain's daughter who was there with her friend Tulsi Gabbard who purports to be anti-war but she's there in solidarity with a government carpet bombing Gaza right now which is interesting to me and John Federman, an American Senator who draped himself in an Israeli flag and condemned his own Democratic colleague for supposed anti-Semitism had fuck all to say about being in the presence of an actual anti-Semite like John Hage. I guess it doesn't matter because he supports Israel's war crimes so it doesn't matter that he said Hitler was sent by God it doesn't matter that he blamed Jewish people for the Holocaust. What matters is that he's there showing support for Israel as they bomb Gaza to smithereens including bomb hospitals and ambulances and refugee centers and schools. Doesn't matter because he supports that. But this is what Bassem Yusuf was talking about. This deep level of unseriousness from supporters of Israel who weaponized claims of anti-Semitism to shut down criticism of the government of Israel yet allow people like John Hage and Marjorie Greene to be openly and explicitly anti-Semitic but they're welcomed into this movement. Now Marjorie Greene shamelessly accused others of anti-Semitism after she literally blamed Jewish people for wildfires. So with that being said, you kind of know the context you know what Yusuf was referring to I have a full video in his comments there if you want to watch that but this is her response to Bassem Yusuf calling out her dumb ass comments about a Jewish space laser. You did didn't you? Cause I've read that post I went and got it and I read it November 17, 2018 you posted a long thing on Facebook that was just complete gobbledygook. I mean you made out that That's why I read this book I talk about Jewish space lasers in my book because that's something I never said no excuse me Pierce I never said that phrase that was a lie about me if you read my original Facebook posts I never said that's why I had to write this book because people like you and whoever that guy was sounds like one of the trolls in my social media attacking me and calling me names when he's never met me I'm not anti-Semitic at all I support Israel and I am outraged at Hamas attacking innocent Israeli citizens women, children, slaughtering babies I'm not calling anything I'm just saying that you did post this crazy post basically alleging the You know the media lied about it and that's why I wrote my book Pierce because I'm setting the record straight and I hope people order my book at mtgbook.com It's a great read people need to know exactly who I am who I am and what I really believe It's a very good plug for the book but you did suggest in this post which I've read very carefully you did suggest that the California wildfires at the time had been started by PG&E in conjunction with the Ross Charles using a space laser in order to clear room for a high-speed rail project that your words not mine Well you know people have twisted my words non-stop and I guess that's what you're going to continue to do but we're working hard in America We're measuring out our problems You are You're doing a great job of it Pierce and that's what you and your colleagues do all the time I just don't I don't handle it I don't deal with it and I cast it to this side You know there's a lot of issues happening that we could talk about I'm going to come to those But before we move on though you have to just accept what you wrote yourself don't you? You deleted it you obviously you were embarrassed by it Well that would be like that would be like me asking you to accept the fact that you defended prisoners at Guantanamo Bay but never say anything about January 6th defendants who are having their rights abused and are rotting away in solitary confinement here in our country Yeah, so of course she's not owning up to it or addressing the main point that Youssef is making but you can tell that she was embarrassed by seeing this criticism because after this interview she went on Twitter and took a shot at Bassem Youssef writing, I just went on Pierce Morgan and he asked me what I think of this guy I've never even heard of him but he sure looks interesting Now first of all that's not what Pierce Morgan asked he didn't just play some random clip and ask you what do you think of this comedian he was criticizing you in particular but you didn't engage with his criticism and furthermore she shared a screenshot of him where I guess that's supposed to make him look crazy but he is literally a comedian making a funny face to mock people like you and your unseriousness but by all means Marjorie please pick a fight with the comedian I'm sure it'll end in his total humiliation and not yours but I wanna go back to Youssef's original point supporters of Israel's government are so thirsty for US support as public opinion turns against them that they will welcome anyone including actual anti-Semites into their movement like Marjorie Green and John Hagee also that way they can say look at all of these people who support what we're doing in Gaza it's a just cause what we're doing is not wrong those who criticize us are wrong now that's not the only double standard because while supporters of Palestinian human rights get blacklisted and lose their jobs you also have celebrities like Sarah Silverman who defended collective punishment against Palestinian civilians go on to guest host The Daily Show two weeks later like can you imagine if somebody defended collective punishment against Israelis it would be wrong justifiably so and they would likely get canceled but if you say it about Palestinians well we've dehumanized them so have at it say what you want we don't view them as human beings now on top of that you also have Republicans like Max Miller and Brian Mast literally advocating for violence against Palestinians while the only Palestinian American in Congress was censured for saying from the river to the sea and she added she does not mean genocide she means freedom for Palestinians but yet wasn't enough they censured her but not Brian Mast or Max Miller who said we're gonna turn Gaza into a parking lot listen the longer that supporters of Israel refuse to engage with this double standard and perpetuate it the more unserious they look I mean as if supporting a genocide wasn't discrediting enough but I mean the people who don't know any better they see these contradictions they're too obvious to miss and while we're on the subject of double standards there's been this hyper focus on fringe supporters of Palestinian human rights who also advocated support for Hamas now this includes some DSA members in New York and BLM Chicago after October 7th who posted an image of a paraglider saying we stand with Palestine and listen I unequivocally condemn that even if it's a small minority of people who are advocating for Palestinians but the question that I wanna ask is is anyone who is supporting the actions of the Israeli government going to condemn any of this for example quote let Israel finish the job I mean after 10,000 plus Palestinians are dead including 4,000 children how can you interpret this as anything but an explicit call for genocide where is the outrage where is the condemnations now here's more genocidal signs at the pro-Israel rally quote many gods and civilians are Hamas in training there is no proportionate response to Hamas civilians who praise the slaughter of Jews are not innocent well by that same token could you say that any Israeli who praises the slaughter of Palestinians are also not innocent I mean these people don't understand how hypocritical what they're saying is now here's my favorite from the river to the sea Israel is what you'll see now I was told that from the river to the sea Palestine will be free was an explicit call for genocide but I'm assuming that this person who is part of a crowd that chanted no ceasefires advocating for a peaceful one state solution with equal rights for Palestinians and Israelis I mean look zero condemnation zero outrage nothing for that in the same way that Republicans like Brian Mast and Max Miller can get away with genocidal rhetoric supporters of Israel they can do the same too I guess but the reason why this doesn't feel like a double standard to them is because supporters of Israel's genocide don't actually view Palestinians as human beings so if you think about it from their perspective how can Israel be guilty of a genocide if their targets aren't actual human beings these are animals I mean this is what Israel has reiterated time and again so if you're not killing human beings then it's not a genocide I mean this is why the condemnations of genocidal rhetoric have been asymmetric it's because one side does not view the other side as human beings and to be clear violence and genocidal rhetoric against Israelis along with support from us that's all indefensible too and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms I condemn the October 7th attack on Israel it was horrific but the reason why it's so easy for me to do that is because I view Israelis as human beings where supporters of Israel can't say the same about Palestinians hence why they're standing in solidarity with Israel even after 4,000 Palestinian children have been killed it's just so disgusting and monstrous and the fact that Democrats like John Federman and Hakim Jeffries are aligning with Mike Johnson and Marjorie Green in solidarity of supporting Israel kind of tells you everything you need to know about the moral bankruptcy of this movement but getting back to Marjorie Green she couldn't respond to Yusef's double standard because she had no response instead she decided to change the subject and talk about January 6th rioters now that was a very bad idea as you're going to see because Pierce Morgan anticipated this and challenged her on that as well and after she couldn't take the heat there she decided to switch back to the subject of Israel again we can't allow this just to be gone you know just to let it go you can't allow it to just transfer power peacefully like Joe Biden wants and allow him to become our president because he did not win the selection it's being stolen and the evidence is there so there can be no peaceful transfer of power so what's the opposite of peace? that's why we objected Pierce that's why we objected and it's a constitutional privilege that I have as a member of Congress you know there was a law firm that tried to take me off the ballot and they were laughed out of the courtroom and Georgia and you were giving their talking points I can't tell you how much people in Georgia would think this is ridiculous and let me give you my talking point which is that a huge mob of people many of whom were violent crashed into the Capitol to try and thwart democracy wait do you mean like because people like you Marjorie people like you said two things you mean like the pro-Hamas rioters no no no they came in and occupied our Capitol Marjorie on October 18th Marjorie that were cheated to leave for self-led Marjorie we're in 2023 Marjorie answer my question we just had a pro-Hamas mob you've written a book in which you talk about these things and Rashida Tlaib can I ask you a question? wait I want to talk about Rashida Tlaib in Israel again just knows amazing now if you watch the full clip which I'll link to down below by the way that goes on for a while and he never gets a straight answer from her and for the record I have to say that Pierce Morgan is somebody who I don't like I think he is a deeply unserious political hack but having said that though I did enjoy him pushing back against her lies about the 2020 election in this particular clip because she came on with the expectation that this was going to be a softball interview where she could freely promote her book I mean she's a right winger Pierce Morgan is a right winger but he didn't give her the opportunity to do that so if you watch the full thing she goes on to try to shoehorn in a plug for her book wherever she had the chance to do that and you know she's desperate she's even lobbying The View to bring her on so she can promote her shitty book writing on Twitter hey The View you had Hillary Clinton on this week and Rachel Maddow recently are you scared to have me on after all there is a view outside of New York City I talk about the women of The View in my book just stop nobody wants to read your shitty ghost written book but the reason why she's so desperate is because certain retailers like Hudson Books won't actually be carrying her book now what I love about this particular element of this story is that as Newsweek reports this has sparked allegations of censorship from people like Trump Jr and I just love this so much because the pro book banning party is now crying censorship because retailers won't carry their books but I mean I thought that you said banning books was good what if these retailers were worried that her book would groom children have you ever thought about that Republicans of course not look they are clowns but at least Democrats like John Federman and Hakim Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are able to find common ground with these Republicans on the issue of genocide it's so heartwarming to me to know that our politicians are able to come together and reach across the aisle in their support of bombing children in Gaza it's just amazing what a great country we live in love it so much here definitely not a dystopia
