focusing on investigating and exposing the israeli regime's global war against of solidarity with the illegally occupied people of palestine. the flagrant weaponization of anti-semitism by zionist extremists to mozzle opponents of israel's savagery and gaza, has resulted in some people losing their jobs for expressing revoltion at israel's murderous military tactics. but the dirty tricks being of deployed by these malicious zinest cranks has singularly failed to quell... the outpooring of solidarity with palestine, and new campaign has now emerged in the united states of that's playing these zinest fanatics at their own game. latifra has the details. the genocide in gazza has brought it home to millions that what is happening in palestine is legitimized and directly supported by thousands of zionist organizations with millions of members, with budgets in the billions. one result is the launch of new campaign in the us to stop ziinus. it
9:04 pm
launched on november the 7th and has promised to take the fight to the zionists. it has already had notable successes in forcing of accountability. within a week they announced in just five days we have gotten multiple zionists fired and many more exposed. did the zionist at stop antisemites think that we would let them ruin people's lives without fighting back? they name and shame individual zionists for promoting racist hate and supporting genocide. by late november they were trumpeting the following. successes johns hopkins suspended dr. glugman, a pediatrician who publicly called for the large-scale slaughter of palestinians. the nypd arrested stewart selduits, a former obama foreign policy advisor to harassed a halal cart vendor. hadasa buzakarani surrendered to the nypd after allegedly throwing coffee attaman and his 18 month old for wearing a coffee. instacart fired brian caplin. who publicly called for sexual
9:05 pm
violence against young palestinian women. we will fight zinest hate anywhere and everywhere. thank you to all who join us in this mission. stewart selduits was the most high profile genocide air to be held accountable after featuring as zionist of the week. here he is supporting genocide with smile. if we killed 4,000 palestinian kids, you know what, it wasn't enough. if we killed 4,00 palestinian kids, you know what, it wasn't enough. wasn't enough, go, go, go, go, born here, but you're a terrorist, you support terrorism, listen, go, i'm not support something, you support terrorism, i'm not, i'm just working, you're a terrible person, no, i don't know, you don't know, i just speak english, no, yeah, go, come out in in egypt will get your parents, go, go, father like his fingernails, they'll they'll take them out one by one, seldow it's served in the state department office of israel and
9:06 pm
palestine affairs. seldowits, though is not the only one, there are genocidal zionist throughout the foreign policy establishment in the us. they are key to driving us policy towards palestine, the levant, the gulf and west asia in general. they form an entryist falanx which legitimizes and enthusiastically of supports the genocide in gazza. they must be rooted out. projects like stop zionist hate are needed in every country where the... zinist movement has a presence, as the arrest of stewart seldowittz shows, the zionist campaign to silence, punish and belly advocates for palestine will meet its match. as always, we're joined by our resident expert david miller. david is academic and a former professor at bristel university, and is now a non-resident senior research fellow at the center for islam and global affairs at istanbul zaium university. he's also a co-director of the lobby and watch dog spinwatch, and he's a leading british scholarly critic of israel. and i'm pleased
9:07 pm
to welcome back patrick hendingson as our guest today's joining us from arizona via skype. patrick is investigative journalist and the founder of the independent news and analysis website 21st century wire. he's been an outspoken critic of the science entity's murderous assault on gaza and of his own government's failure to demand a permanent ceasefire. welcome to the show. david, just put this into context, context for us will you, i mean is stop zionist hate a new initiative, and i mean, how successful has it been so far? so yes, it is new, and this is the kind of tactics, which of course have been used by designers for many, many years. they have thousands and thousands of dollars was into. spending money on uh having people pro sacked, suspended from their university course, removed from government, and they they do this repetitively and routinely, and we've seen it of course since october the 7th with many, many cases which more of which we might talk about later, but this is one of the first times that it's been tried on the
9:08 pm
other side where there's been an attempt to show that zits are engaged in genocide and in promoting hatred against muslims and arabs and palestinians and and anyone else who's palestine. and that this shouldn't be accepted in in public institutions in in hospitals and government and schools and all sorts of other places, it's been extremely successful, mean you can see on their twin their their pin tweet at the top of their x account uh how many how many people they've had sacked they've had people yeah removed suspended from hospitals from universities for for effectively for endorsing genocide and hate crimes against palestinians and muslims and others yeah yeah well, patrick, i mean, do you see this initiative as having legs and becoming more wide spread? i think it's great to see it, uh, we haven't seen anything like it, and there's been a total imbalance in this sort of these attack vectors uh, coming from the pro israeli or the sort of zionist or you know promoting the
9:09 pm
israeli cause and israeli issues, there's tons of these attack vehicles like the adl for instance, or the southern property law center or all these other sort of online trolling. rations and here you have one emerging on the other side defending the palestinian human rights and calling out people who are calling for genocide openly the genocide of palestinian people, the ethnic cleansing of palestinian people, completely inhumane, some of these are professionals, doctors, people who should be more responsible, so it's interesting, it is addressing the imbalance in the conversation, so i think turn about is fair play, chris, as they say, yeah, no, indeed, well, david, i mean, "what all the measures do you think we should be looking at for holding these - what can we call them genocide advocates accountable? well, i've seen people on on x and social media saying that um there should be units in every government tracking down people who are engaged in war crimes in occupied palestine and of course that's
9:10 pm
entirely correct, they should be, but let's remember that the war crimes and the genocide and the ethnic cleansing that's happening in gaza and throughout palestine are enabled by a movement of of of hundreds of organizations with billions of dollars in in budgets in the us, in the uk and germany, france and in every other country, perhaps 30 or 35 countries in the world with an organized zionist movement, now these are the people that also need to be pursued, there needs to be a unit in every state in the us, and the uk, france, and germany, which is dedicated to uncovering collaboration with genocide, and of course there's president for this, and the precedent is is in the us, i mean in the us. that it was revealed in the 1930s that there were key people, in in particular, public relations professionals, edward bernez, iv lee, carl boy, who were collaborating with the nazis and as a result of this the the americans passed the foreign agents registration act to force them to disclose which foreign state they were
9:11 pm
working for and what they were doing, and indeed, ivy lee was mentioned in in nurenburg, the war crimes tribunal, because of his collaboration with the nazi, so there's all sorts of precedent for this, and and the... us is a place we could look to for for um for inspiration and what to do with these uh genocidal zits? yeah we do, mean and some of the influencers of course or some of the enablers, mean are politicians as well aren't they? that's right, politicians, journalists, the the movement designs movement is throughout the economy, the political establishment, the cultural and the media establishment as well, and it's a very big task, no indeed, well patrick, mean what's your perspective on the the stewart selderwittz affair, it's quite astonishing, wasn't it? yeah, it is, but you know, it just shows that how indicative this is, uh, this the institutionalization of these attitudes, but the thing to me that was most pertinent in this to see that he was a uh head staffer from madeline albright of all people, the
9:12 pm
former us secretary of state, who showed no remorse in her part in the genocide of iraqi children uh during the 1990s and beyond, she said that was a price worth paying for... we don't see this, but among the staff of people. in washington and for instance people who support israel and zionists within the us government structure, these are the pervasive attitudes, they're absolutely caustic, these are people that uh are very much low empathy individuals um who have no problem at all espousing their views in private, it's only this time they were caught on camera because he thought he was talking to nobody uh followful vendor or what have you uh in in new york city and i think it's telling there's other people hold the same views as cell do it, some of them are very vocal about it on ex twitter and facebook and other
9:13 pm
platforms, they're not getting deplatformed, but what we see is islamophobic accounts being boosted in fact on some of these platforms and other people who are advocating for the palestinian human rights position are being canceled or being deplatformed, so again this is huge imbalance in the conversation that needs to be readdressed, no indeed, i've seen it suggested to patrick that by some people on social media that his experience working with madeline albright actually is what radicalized him, radicalized him into you know these sort of appalling racist views, i don't whether you would agree with that. no, it doesn't surprise me at all, madeline albriight held some very uh racist views against lots of people, including serbs, she's been caught on camera uh showing those views, perhaps uh, this is just a tip the iceberg if you will, that's the secretary of state, the top diplomat in the us at the top. so it's pretty shocking, yeah, do you think there's a more general problem in the
9:14 pm
foreign policy establishment of zint infiltration? absolutely, i mean, this is a question, yes, it's a question of of us imperial interests, as as some people would say, that that's you, an important part of the the analysis, but we've got also got to understand that designers have spent a long, long time trying to infiltrate the foreign policy establishment in the us and indeed other countries too, and so you if you look at the, i mean, people say about why why was it that the americans invaded iraq, and of course there's an argument about the the role the neo conservatives, well the neo conservatives are too a- personists and they they took a grip of the foreign policy establishment, which they have not really uh let go of since then, so we we have a real problem that zionist assumptions and actual zionists control quite a lot of what's what's done is us government policy in relation to the lavant uh west asia in general of course israel so... "this is a real significant issue, which which is in addition to the question of us imperialism, yeah, oh patrick,
9:15 pm
i mean, how should this issue of of zist embedded in the foreign policy establishment actually be targeted, do you think? um, i, i, i think it's just it should be treated like any other bigottry, any other um egregous racism that's spoused by people in these positions, there's all this training of uh diversity training, training, anti-racist training, this is going on through all sorts of institutions, including education, and even in government, racial sensitivity training, why is it that there's no racial sensitivity towards the palestinian people, and so i think it should be treated equally with other uh oppressed groups, what we have unfortunately is the depersoning, the other ring, the outright discrimination of any palestinian issue uh in person, and then canceling body supporting the oppressed ethnic group and worse accusing those opposing the ethnic cleansing and genocide is
9:16 pm
being somehow anti-semitic, it's completely inverted, so this needs to be uh looked at in a fair and even-handed way, and i think that's better for the institutions, especially people working in and around government. indeed, well we'll come back to the discussion in a moment, patrick, but i just like to get your response and obviously davids as well to... next video about the vindictiveness of zionists who hold influential positions. zinous hysteria on the ongoing genocide in gaza is escalating. advocates for palestine have been attacked, bullied, smaared, sacked and victimized in government, business, universities and the cultural sphere. a high profile casualty was the internationally known actress, susan saranden, drop by the united talent agency for her advocacy for palestine. her case
9:17 pm
provides a useful window into how it is that zinists are able to exert this kind of influence. just take three of the most senior board members. first, chairman paul watchter, who has been at the center of building the careers of key black cultural figures like lebron james, and dr. dray. watcher donates designist charities and has served on the international. the new israel, which is dedicated to supporting the zinanis entity. paul and his wife dorothy watchter, said they see israel as quote, the nexus of jewish identity and culture for jews worldwide and feel a deep personal bond to israel. paul watchter refers to the genocide of the nakbah as the thrilling years of the founding of israel, second ceo, jeremy zimmer, who was denounced pro-palestinian activism an email to all staff at uta. in it, he cited the rise of anti-israel sentiment on college campuses.
9:18 pm
he wrote, concern and debate about zionism becomes veiled and semitism, as evidence he pointed to the anti-zionist mapping project. he said it showed jewish owned businesses suggesting that they be boycotted, the assumption being that because they are owned by jews, they must be anti-palestine. that's of course, was a typical zionist lie. third, vice chairman j shoers, in his capacity as a regent or governor of the university of california, he denounced over 300 ethnic study staff. supporting palestinian rights accusing them in late october of supporting the shocking brutality of hamas, where babies, children of all ages, the elderly, the disabled were shot, raped, tortured, maimed, mutullated, decapitated and burnt alive. these zist lies had already been debunked by the time the letter was written. it's not just the individuals involved, the
9:19 pm
united talent agency is totally signed up to genocidal zinism. uta was a giving spot. of creative community for peace, a front group for zinis ministry of foreign affairs agent stand with us. of course, uta staff were among the honories at the fourth annual ambassadors of peace event in october 2022 in beverly hills. in order to dismantle zionism, it will be necessary to conduct a process of dezionization at companies like the united talent agency and many others. and susan saraden and she's a big hollywood name, isn't she? i mean, tell us a bit about her pro- palestine views, will you? well, she's she's been outpoken a lot of controversial issues uh, not only on the palestinian issue, but she's also questioned lot of major events and mainstream narratives like the uh dumama, chemical, alleged chemical weapons attack and
9:20 pm
syria and so forth, and uh, she's been very vocal on twitter, and acts and other platform. uh so i mean it's not unusual um that someone of her political profile being clearly somebody on the progressive left uh in the united states and probably a registered democrat would have very strong views on this issue as do millions of others but she is being singled out because she's of a high profile and the concern is uh for i think people backing israel is that we can't have actors uh musicians cultural influencers athletes we can't have these people. uh giving any sympathy towards the palestinian cause, because then their followers will then have sympathy for the palestinian cause, and they might start questioning uh what israel has been doing to these people for the last 70 odd years, so that's really the the issue is the is the influential factor of celebrities, so um, she should have a right
9:21 pm
under the first amendment to say, maybe her speech is not uh perfectly honed at all times when there's a mic on these people and photographed everywhere, but so she's been caught and accused of being anti-semitic in this case and the dropped by air agency, but you know what, who are the people with on this, and clearly you have again the mainstream media, the establishment, government supporting the uh minority uh party in this case or the minority view, which is the zionist view, and you have the masses and millions of people on the streets and people who would support susan sarendon's views, um, that's the... majority so the street is with the the dissidents in this case and the establishment is with clearly the oppressor or the belligerant party um if we're looking at what's happening in gaza right now no indeed and david is not not the only one to have been dropped issue no mean this the perhaps even more high profile case the two stars of the scream franchiser yes
9:22 pm
you might not know is a horror film yes yes and of course has has been dropped because of her pro-palestine views. jena ortaga is said that it's nothing to do with her pro-palestine views, but she is pro palestine's tweeted about decolonizing palestine, one of the key markers out for being being unacceptable, but well what we see is a a cross hollywood in the cultural industries is a closing of ranks by the people in charge and the people in charge almost all these companies are zionits. i mean that's the most extraordinary thing is that that zionists are at the top of the talent agency which drops zinis at the top of the film industry and many of the film companies, the biggest film companies are are dominated by zionis and their orientation is towards simonism, so if you're in any way critical of of of of. or - support of palestinian rights, it's very difficult for you to make your way at that level, and if you do become vocal, then you can be dropped just like that, no indeed, and of course we
9:23 pm
we've covered the influence of the zionist lobby in the cultural industies on this show before, and and here we have real life proof of how they deploy their influence, but patrick, um, this united talent agency seems to be totally packed with zin top doesn't it? well, you you would have to be concerned with any major organization, you have one uh fringe, extremist ideological viewpoint, in this case we're talking about the issue of zionism, this belief system, this ideology, it is an extremist ideology, if you look at what it actually advocates and what it's been putting into action on the ground in places like gaza, and then the attitudes that are behind this, this is an extremist viewpoint, but that is the dominant viewpoint at the top the entertainment industry, um, and arguably at the top of corporate america broadly, and let's face it, this is the dominant viewpoint
9:24 pm
in congress and senate of the united states government, and why is that? and this is a important question, we need to have a time of of reflection now culturally and politically in the west to understand why this is dominant view in positions of power, and how can that be uh readdressed? how can we rebalance this conversation? and i think some these initiatives like what you've shown on the program today are important for steps in readdressing that imbalance again, it's so important because we haven't had an opportunity to do this uh in the past and it seems like this is very important moment in history where people cannot unsee what they've seen over the last six weeks or seven weeks in gaza then certainly the the whole generation of young people have seen this horror and this will be the... issue of the generation international of course, but david just just say what to will you about this community for for peace initiative, the creative community, this is an organization
9:25 pm
which claims to be in the creative industry and it's it's just to pursue peace in israel, palestine and nothing more, of course this is a lie, it's a front group set up by by stand with us, which of course is an organization, started in the us, as a uk branch as well, set up with aid from the ministry of foreign affair. and of course with funding from the prime minister's office in inst entity, so it's a front group for stand with us, it had money from the the israeli government, and it's effectively an agent of instrument of israeli foreign policy, and so and here it is, with these individuals from the united talent agency, united talent gets the money for their their gala dinners where they raise money for this kind of stuff, and of course there are many people who are... the united talent agency at the senior level who are given uh awards by by the uh creative community for peace is design operation to try and close down the possibility of support
9:26 pm
for palestine and opposition to genocide in the in the creative industries and in in hollywood and and the film industry yeah and briefly uh buse we're almost out of time patrick i mean would you say there's a wider problem in the culture industries of of zionist infiltration then um i wouldn't even call it infiltration at this point, i just think it's uh, it's just a pervasive attitude, i think it's an institutionalized uh belief system that seems to go uh along the lines of power, so these are people ultimately that want to be uh in a position where they're advancing their careers in various other industies or sectors of the economy, of society, in politics, and this is just the way to go along, this is where power and money has been allocated in order to buy people. views on this issue and also to keep them and to kick them into touch if they're vearing off the the reservation so to speak as we've seen with these hollywood actors so
9:27 pm
that that's what i think is it's a pervasive um and widespread attitude and belief system that does go hand in hand with people's ambitions unfortunately in various career paths yeah well unfortunately patrick sorry to cut across you there but we're going to have to leave it there because that's it for... another show as we're right out of time. i'd like to thank patrick as our guest today and of course our resident expert professor david miller. palestine the classified will be back next week with more forensic investigations and analysis and in the meantime you can follow the show on facebook, twitter and telegram where we post regular clips and updates and remember to share today's program on your social media platforms to help us to amplify the campaign against zionist hate. so until next time, this is chris williamson saying bye for now.
9:30 pm
the headlines israel's launching fresh strikes in gaza after killing more than 15,000 palestinians. most of them women and children in the besieged coastal territory. this bull of resistance movement hits israeli military targets retaliation for strikes on southern lebanon. also coming up people around the world hold rally to show solidarity with palestinians and to condemn israeli genocide in gaza.
