Ep. 1861 - For The Left, “Balance” Means Shrugging at Sexual Assault
Dec 4, 2023
auto_awesome
Rep. Pramila Jayapal discusses the need for balanced discussions on sexual assault committed by Hamas terrorists. The podcast also analyzes the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, sympathies for terrorism within the Democratic Party, and the phasing out of fossil fuels. It explores topics such as financial debts for climate change, the 2024 election, and the potential conviction of Donald Trump in the federal election interference case.
The White House's demands for Israel to protect civilians during its offensive against Hamas ignore the reality that Hamas intentionally uses civilians as human shields.
The sympathy for the Palestinian cause among Democrats and young Americans is being exploited by radical Muslims and the international left to intimidate and discourage support for Israel.
Pope Francis's focus on environmental issues, such as calling for the eradication of fossil fuels, disregards the needs of developing countries and undermines the Church's moral authority.
Deep dives
The Biden White House's Absurd Demands on Israel
The White House continues to pressure Israel to protect civilians during its offensive against Hamas in Gaza, implying that Israel is intentionally harming innocent people. However, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Zurmer, argues that Israel takes more precautions to avoid civilian casualties than any other modern army. The White House's demands ignore the reality that Hamas intentionally uses civilians as human shields, making it nearly impossible for Israel to completely eliminate Hamas without civilian casualties. Additionally, the Biden administration's push for Israel to provide more humanitarian aid to Gaza without addressing the issue of Hamas' control and misuse of aid is politically naive and counterproductive.
The West's Sympathy for Terrorism
Recent polls reveal a concerning lack of support for Israel among Democrats and young Americans, as well as sympathies for the Palestinian cause. This sympathy is being exploited by radical Muslims and the international left, who believe that generating enough trouble will discourage Americans from supporting Israel. This tactic of intimidation is evident in protests threatening Jewish-owned businesses and incidents of violence against innocent people. It is crucial to recognize that terrorism aims to scare people into giving in to their demands, and by succumbing to these intimidation tactics, the West risks losing moral credibility and empowering terrorists.
Pope Francis' Disconnect and Lack of Realism
Pope Francis has taken action against Cardinal Raymond Burke, revoking his salary and Vatican apartment, citing disunity and alleged misuse of privileges. The Pope's recent calls for the eradication of fossil fuels highlight his disconnect with reality and lack of understanding of the developing world's need for efficient energy sources. Fossil fuels remain the most efficient fuel option for many developing countries, like those in Africa and Asia, seeking to improve their economies. The Pope's misplaced focus on environmental issues disregards the Church's potential to gain adherents in these regions and undermines the Church's moral authority by embracing unrealistic and misguided policies.
Intimidation on college campuses and protests against Israel
The podcast discusses the ongoing issue of intimidation on college campuses and highlights recent protests against Israel at Columbia School of Social Work and Cornell University. The Columbia School of Social Work is hosting a teach-in focusing on the Palestinian counter-offensive, which critics argue overlooks the mass slaughter and rape that occurred during that time. Meanwhile, Cornell students have occupied a campus building to protest against Israel and demand divestment from the country. These actions have disrupted the university and prompted complaints, raising concerns about the influence of radical groups on campuses.
Concerns about Trump becoming a dictator and potential criminal conviction
The podcast explores the fear among Democrats that Donald Trump could become a dictator and the concerns raised by recent court rulings. Judge Tanya Chutkin ruled that Trump is not immune from criminal prosecution, potentially affecting his viability in the 2024 presidential election. Andy McCarthy points out that the delay tactic, a key strategy for Trump, may no longer be possible, with a trial potentially running from March to May 2024. If convicted, Trump could even face imprisonment, which could greatly impact the election season.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal explains that she won’t condemn Hamas’ mass rape too much for the sake of balance; Iranian-backed forces attack American ships; and the Pope is fighting against fossil fuels again.
