♪ will: straight to a fox news alert, israel preparing for a full scale ground invasion of gaza as the idf confirmed troops and tank it is are already involved inside the hamas-controlled area. rachel: overnight an israeli airstrike reportedly killed a top hamas official believed responsible for last week's deadly attack. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu issuing a stark warning to the terror group. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: we are pounding our enemieses with unprecedented force, and i stress this is only the beginning. our enemies have only just begun to pay the price. i will not detail our plans, but i will tell you this is only the beginning. pete: the israeli military extending the window for people

to evacuate northern gaza to 9 a.m. eastern time, is so just three hours from now. two routes are currently open to allow palestinians safe passage out of gaza city to the south. this as the u.s. officials are reportedly negotiating to allow u.s. nationals currently in gaza to evacuate at the rafa border crossing into egypt. right now we know hamas has at least 120 host ams and are responsible for -- hostages and are responsible for killing at least 1300 israelis and 27 u.s. citizens. will: now let's yet to trey yingst live on the ground in southern israel morning. trey. >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. we could just with hours away are from this ground operation or into gaza. cover night and this morning we have seen a variety of points, a form of staging points for these troops in the southern part of israel. tanks and apcs, infantry troops being guarded preparing

for their orders to ultimately move up and go to the line of departure and then enter what gaza with that assault that is expected to be announced by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. there are a number of tanks and different can units deployed not just to the northern part of gaza, over the border where we are here, but also throughout the border area along the strip. this is going to be the a multi-front assault. we counderstand according to officials in israel, they will hit a hamas hard from multiple different directions. and this comes as rocket fire continues into southern and central the israel. today air raid sirens sounding in tel aviv. we saw some of the rockets coming off the strip and in total more than 5,000 rockets have been fired by hamas and islamic jihad since this massacre start on saturday morning and then the war that erupted aftera wards. you mentioned the gaza evacuation that is continuing, israel extending that win toe to allow the safe -- window to

allow the safe passage. we do understand that they will be able to make it to the second largest city in gaza, and already sources inside gaza city telling us thousands are heeding those warnings by the israelis. there's a real understanding that in the coming days the israelis will not only ramp up airstrikes, but launch that ground assault. a scene last night along the border, we were watching as the israelis in the dark of night pounded the gaza strip. every so often you'd see a flash of light in the distance hitting different hamas positions, and as we have learned this morning, two top officials have been targeted by israeli strikes over the past 12 hours. this is one of the individuals that was responsible for planning the the massacre that left more than 1300 dead on saturday morning and also a company commander from an elite unit inside hamas. so we do know this is going to be a continuing operation and,

again, all signs point to this kicking off in the next few hours or even the next day. guys, back to you. pete: trey, what -- do we have any updates on status of hostages as this invasion is imminent? do you have any sense they have a better idea of where they are, how they might play into this invasion? >> reporter: so we just got one update when it comes to hostages, and that has to do with something we learned last night. an israeli military official telling fox news there was an operation yesterday for the israelis to conduct small raids inside gaza, so they sent in tanks and infantry troops to do a limited operation, gather swell, and we -- intel, and we do understand at least according to some reports try and retrieve the bodies of some hostage as that a went in. now, we weren't able to confirm that information independently, but we do know they were trying to get information regarding these hostages. they may be trying to identify

if any are being kept mere the border so when that initial push goes in, they could try to rescue some of these people. but the concern is the majority of them are held within the tunnels beneath gaza, and it will take a concerted effort not just to hold the territory in gaza, but then to to enter the tunnels and figure out if they're able to rescue any of these individuals. rachel: trey, are you hearing anything about how they're prioritizing rest daying the hostages you -- rescuing the hostages versus this invasion? because i guess just sitting here, i'm thinking if they invade, if they go do this ground invasion, the life of these, the lives of these hostages are going to be in worse danger. >> reporter: absolutely. look, as israel continues to hammer the gaza strip with not only airstrikes but also artillery and naval support, on the ground we are talking about a massive operation here. you hear that jeep going by in the distance filled with

soldiers. there are thousands of infantry troops here along the border. there are tanks, apcs. when they really face the pressure that we understand they will face in the coming days, the concern is they could use these hostages as bargaining chips, as negotiating chips. and we've seen what isis did in the past -- rachel: yes. >> reporter: israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu wanted to make clear that hamas is worse than isis. you saw what isis did to hostages, we can only imagine what will be done to these individuals. will: really quickly, trey rachel talks about this as though -- i think accurately -- there's a timeline on rescuing these hostages. we've heard president biden talk about the americans being held hostage. do you or have you seen any sign of an american presence in israel, american military or diplomatic for that matter on the ground presence in israel? >> reporter: other than the defense minister, no. the defense secretary, lloyd austin, making that visit trying

to send a message. but there has not been any sort of u.s. military presence here along the border. there are american weapons that have been provided in the past to the israelis. we counderstand there are also these flights coming in to military bases with very specific requests, two examples, one has to do with the missile defense system, the iron dome, and the batteries or that are used to basically deploy across this area. and then the missiles used to shoot down the rockets coming from gaza. and the second has to do with small diameter bombs. the israelis need more support when it comes to this because they understand they also could run low on supplies as this conflict appears it will be, at minimum, a weeks-long war. guys, back to you. pete: at minimum. trey yingst, thank you so much for your time this morning. rachel: thank you, trey. pete: yeah. you can only imagine the the calculations going into what they're going to do down there. rachel: i saw the video of the

little babies being held by the terrorists. it was so mind-blowing, so sickening and, of course, i -- i'm thinking about that. i'm going, what happens to those babies if there's a ground invasion? i mean, it's unthinkable. will: it's also listening to trey talk about one of the top terrorists who helped plan this attack already having been targeted does highlight the intelligence capabilities which always, to me, i find it impossible the went unnoticed. there's a new york times report talking about this thing had been in the planning perhaps over a year with camps set up in lebanon with forces there syria with, iran and hamas all training in preparation, and i just don't know how that flies under the radar of intelligence in in the united states or israel. rachel: i couldn't agree more. and, by the way, we give $3 billion a year to israel, and i think there's a lot of questions about huge, massive security failure with. pete: a ott -- lot of that is about to be utilized.

they purchase a lot of american-made weapons. there's a lot of finger-pointing going on amongst them. heard from some top israeli officials saying, hey -- everyone's pointing at each other, but this is on the defense and intelligence services who should is have seen this, and if they did, didn't alert civilian authority to that, but that's one view of it. and ultimately, at this point trying to identify where hostages are, where the enemy is a herculean task. in large part not because of of what's above the ground, but because of what's below. here's a basic schematic, but it gives you a sense of the complexity of the tunnel system inside gaza. i don't think that's the right graphic. but there's another graphic that shows the -- that's the road, by the way, one of the roads north-south that evacuees are attempting to leave. by the way, before we -- there's the tunnel system right there. if you look up knot, that's -- north, that's gaza city where most of the hamas headquarters are. they say there are 300 miles of

tunnels underneath gaza. you effectively have a tunnel city underneath that makes clearing that area really difficult because if you clear something above ground, you may think they have, but you haven't below ground with, and they could fill it back up with fighters or hide hostages. of i don't know whether to be heartened or concerned about the fact that we haven't seen hostage videos yet. you know the famous isis videos we saw? hopefully there's things happening underneath the surface and behind the scenes we're not aware about, but here's another just basic sense of the amount of depth that they're willing to go to in order to hide these tunnels. rachel: pete, you've been inside these tunnels but on the israeli side? pete: correct. yeah, in 2018 i was on the israeli side but not far from gaza at all, and the israel defense forces gave me a sense of these terror tunnels. take a watch. a portion of. but -- so here we are just roughly 700 meters from the gaza border inside a tunnel.

>> translator: it's a terror tunnel. hamas -- large part of to build this kind of structure. pete: so every day it's part of your job to find more terror tunnels. >> we found -- [inaudible] three tunnels. pete: you're finding them right now as hamas continues to dig under the gaza strip into the israeli population. i want to get a sense of it's like to fight in a tunnel like this, because you -- in the infantry, you're usually outside of different conflicts, you're underground but this is a whole different -- >> it's a psychological challenge. pete: i'm cramping up and sore already, and we've been in here for, what, two minutes? just imagine the difficulty of fighting in a tunnel like this but also the ideological dedication of the radical islamist enemy that's willing to spend months and months and months and months underground picking away at the soil, putting in steel, putting many

lights, pumping in air just so that they can kill innocent civilians. will: pete, i know you saw that from the israeli side. i'm curious if you've come to understand that tunnel system is certainly what we're seeing on the screen from you is essentially a transport system. it's a passageway. but once you get in there neither gaza, is it more extensive? is it bunkers? is it places for long-term stays for either a terrorist or for hostages? pete: yes. so it's barracks, it's meeting rooms, it's places for people to eat and sleep and stay and live for long periods of time. they can pump oxygen down there, electricity. so the system is not just tunnels inside gaza, it's entire underground cities, prisons is what, you know, it could also be. and what you saw there were the tunnels that hamas has been building for decades to tray to get into israeli territory with the biggest fear of those that live in the south that in the middle of the night hamas may just spring out of the ground and is suddenly be in your

backyard which is why what happened a week ago was the biggest nightmare -- rachel: i have so many questions about this. so, the first, this is not cheap to do this. so you wonder where, how -- where the money comes to build -- pete: a hamas decides to use humanitarian aid. rachel: exactly. so from a fighting point of view, it looks pretty narrow. what does that mean for the fighting? pete: that's just one of them. there were tunnels with vehicler vehicles to drive through. of it was a race against the idf. they'd build a tunnel, the israelis would discover it and blow it up, and they'd build another tunnel. that's why it brought to mind the radical islamist ideology to never stop and the thirst to kill jews. will: speaking of that thirst to kill jews or at the very minimum hatred of anti-semitism, we did see a lot of that yesterday as hamas called for a global day of jihad, a day of rage all across

the world. and the united states was no exception. we saw this in the streets of new york city, you saw it on american college campuses throughout the week, and you heard essentially the sentiment in their own words. sara carter was out there, and she talked to people who took the part in this global day of entry had. >> how do you respond when people say, hook, these babies were beheaded, some of them were burned to death, there were children that were killed? why, why not speak out against that and then, you know, protest later? why protest now? >> because they're already killing hundreds of lives right now even as we speak. and we're protesting until something ends, something stops forus. >> do you think it's going to ever stop when you -- >> well, the problem is as long as gaza is led by a terror organization, i don't see any different. >> do you care about the babies that were beheaded -- >> they were never beheaded.

that was a made-up story -- >> how do you knowsome. >> that's not are true, that's [bleep] show me the pictures now. you're a lying [bleep] if you're full of [bleep] >> they did not kill their babies. that is [bleep] >> so no babies -- >> no validation of that whatsoever. there is no proof of that. netanyahu is basically running his own [bleep] narrative of what he wantses to excuse -- >> how does this end? >> -- killing and genociding and holocausting all the palestinians! >> it's it's a shame that hamas -- in the middle of new york city and say every, every day this is crazy, this is crazy. i don't understand how the american people don't afraid for this -- [inaudible] >> one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. don't forget it. rachel: that was in times square, correct? pete: yeah. rachel: that was in times square. so, again, or i saw the video of the babies being rocked to sleep and held and pacify if by

terrorists. -- pacified by terrorists. that is the most sickening, as a mother, frightening image. i was -- i don't understand. pete: that was hamas' attempt to look like they were -- rachel: it didn't work. it made me so scared. pete: just murdered their parents, and now you're -- you know, this is where we live in a world where we don't even have objective facts. and trey yingst has been into these neighborhoods, into these places, looked into the camera and said i've been in these kibbutzes, i've seen the bedrooms, the children, where the maas can kerrs have taken place -- massacres have fake then place. there are plenty of times in war where narrative and propaganda occur, no doubt about that. rachel: 100. pete: in this particular case, considering the amount of cameras trained on locations, it's t hard to believe people deny that. will: i think it's true the first thing that dies in washington is the truth. rachel: yes. will: we've had this discussion on the couch, and it's quite

honestly a discussion you won't hear many places. i actually don't begrudge vladimir zelenskyy or ukraine engaging in propaganda da. i don't begrudge any combatant in a a war using propaganda. their job is to fight with every ounce for their tribe. what i begrudge is our leaders whose job is to do the best we can to find the truth of not cutting through propaganda. when it heard from this particular if line you heard from protesters on the fight that's happening online whether or not babies were beheaded, it is essentially splitting hairs between the fact that babies were undoubtedly killed. rachel: and kidnapped. will: i don't know what is true, what is confirmed, what is not, the biden administration has not conifer firmed -- confirmed on that particularly narrow slice of the story. it's not a narrow slice of the story to say in fact pure terror and savagery unleash ared on a

population. that is true. if. pete: yeah, that civilians were target in their homes intentionally is objectively true. rachel: yeah. pete: and by trying to make the whole argument about beheading of babies, they excuse away the entirety of it. rachel: and really the onus is on the protesters to make the distinction between support for hamas and support for the state of israel. and they have not done that job themselves. and so it's really on them -- pete: it's certainly on them when the hamas leader, the one who perpetrate thed these attacks, calls for the day of jihad and people follow. it's almost like if the that head of isis said she -- rachel: and it ended in several stabbings and one killing at least in france of a teacher. so it's something that needs to be considered. pete: yeah. well, you can join the fox corporation in supporting the israeling emergency fund in association with the united jewish appeal, just scan the qr code here on donate at

pete: we're back with a fox news alert, america's greatest ally in the mideast, israel, preparing for a massive ground invasion in the intensifying war against hamas terrorists. retired u.s. air force brig with deer general robert spaulding -- brigadier general joins us now. you're the author of a book call " war without rules." they're about to go to war. what does it look like on the israeli side as you look at the facts on hand right now? >> well, i think a lot of people are focused on this attack on gaza that's definitely warranted, but i think what we have to expect is this is just a continuation of the war that started when russia invaded ukraine. we are going to see a wider conflict spread. you know, iran really wanted this so they can create anger in the middle east and spark a wider regional war, and i think you're going to see next is going to be something going on

in asia. we're in the second cold war. pete: so you believe regardless of israeli actions there'll be another front in the north from hezbollah and iran wants that, and they want a wider conflict and then opportunities for other countries. >> well, i don't with even think t it's going to stop with an attack from hezbollah. i think, you know, iran wants to spark a wider regional war and, of course, i think china benefits from this because they're supporting both russia and iran and north korea. so this is something that i think we have to get, you know, be expecting to expand beyond not just the middle east, but into asia as well. pete: do you think it's ine evident bl that this expands, or is there a way in which israel and/or the united states could prevent that from happening while also exacting the justice necessary for what happened? >> yeah, i -- so the first cold war with lasted several decades. i think we're just in the beginning stages of it so, yes, it's going to spread.

and where it spreads, i think, really depends on, you know, china's strategy. and i really, i can't tell you, but i do see that this is, it's going to grow. pete: so this imminent ground invasion which our audience is looking at right now, is this a manner in which it would be conducted that would change the outcome you're talking about as israel looks at entering into the gaza strip? >> well, i think what the palestinians are going to be focused on is creating as much anger about the attacks, so they want to get civilians killed, they want to use them as shields, and then they're going to use that as propaganda to spark a wider regional war. that's essentially what they're trying to do. pete: so if you were overseeing what's going on in gaza, what would your directive be? what would your strategy be or as you looked to implement it, what would your advices be to the israelis? >> well, i think first of all

you have to really shut down any communications coming out of there. you're going to have to expect that these videos are going to get out, and they're going to be used for this. and i think it really starts to, you know, focus the attention on the platforms that this information is spread on. and understanding that it's propaganda. if you look at what russia and china are putting out, for example, there's a great cartoon they just put out that shows the western media basically, you know, portraying the palestinians as the bad guys when in reality it's israelis. so this is about propaganda, and so this is going to be a cyber war. it's going to be a digital war: it's going to be an information psychological war, and that's what's playing out on twitter and all the other platforms right now. and the whole thing is designed to spark anger at the west and to really say that the western morals are bad. pete: no doubt. real quick, general, you wrote the book, "war without rules." how do you fight an enemy which doesn't play by the rule, which

we know hamas does not? >> well, i think we have to start to isolate, you know, our society and those of our allies and partners away from the totalitarian regimes like russia, china, iran and north korea. we've integrated china into our global trading system and to our global information system. we have to start to break them out and recognize their entire goal is to undermine our society from within by changing the minds of young people. you know, 30% of young kids today get their information from tiktok. that's a propaganda machine for the chinese communist party. so we have to understand that this is a different kind of war. pete: you are exactly right. this will come town to an information war -- down to an information war as the bullets start flying. general, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. pete: all right. we have now a live look at gaza ahead of the likely ground assault. a number of americans are potentially being held hostage in the territory by hamas. joe biden saying the white house is working like hell to bring them home. >> we're going to do the everything many our power -- in

will: back with a fox news alert, the idf confirming they killed a top hamas official believed to be responsible for orchestrate thing last week's deadly attacks. pat: -- pete: and evacuations underway in northern gaza as the israeli military keeps two routes ahead of a ground invasion. the deadline less than three hours away. rachel: u.s. officials are reportedly negotiating to allow u.s. nationals to evacuate the gaza strip at the are ra a fa border crossing into egypt. the administration is scrambling as a at least 17 americans are feared to be held hostage by terrorists in gaza. >> to those holding american

hostages in gaza you say what? >> i say we're going to do everything in our power to find them, everything in our power. and i'm not going to go into the detail of that, but there's -- we're working like hell on it. pete: that instills confidence. our next guest knows all about fighting the war on terror firsthand, gop congressman served in afghanistan and joins us now. congressman, thanks for being here. i mean, 17 american hostages is a big number in the middle of a war zone. what should we be doing and what will israel be doing? >> well, first, we have to identify where they are. of by the way, thanks for having me on the show. that's going to the take ground intelligence, signals intelligence. once we find where they are, you've got to build sort of the operational, tactical plan and then execute a hostage rescue. it's the hardest thing to do. and in gaza it's exponentially harder. this is going to be a very tough mission, but we have to go get

'em. i agree with your comment too there at the end of the little segment you played on the president. i mean, if we need to be much stronger, return them within 72 hours or we will go to war with hamas and destroy every one of them too. we'll join israel directly. i mean, they cannot hold americans. that cannot be tolerated. rachel: i agree with you, congressman, on that point. it's really important that we let everyone know that american citizens will not be used in this manner. if however, how concerned are you about this conflict expanding beyond, beyond what we're seeing right now which is horrible enough and the involvement potentially of the united states? how important is it that we not get to that point? >> well, i mean, very clearly the northern front is a big concern with hezbollah and in syria. there are iranian forces that support the syrian government,

the curve president there -- current president there. so we do have to be concerned. but iran because not want to push saudi arabia any closer to israel. and this sunni-shia axis that has sort of developed, this bipolarring axis in the middle east, i mean, iran has to be very, very careful about that. so i'm not sure, i'm not as convinced that that's going to happen. but it kind of all depends how it plays out in gaza. if israel gets significantly weakened, they may take advantage of it. will: congressman, i want to move to domestic politics not totally the unrelated to the world events, and that is the house speaker. steve scalise has withdrawn his name from the race for house speaker. jim jordan has been put up, but he seems to be far short of the necessary votes at this moment at least. what do you anticipate? i mean, there's other names that are being suggested and thrown around out there the as well. when and who will be house speaker? >> well, when, i think monday

we'll know a lot more. jim has been working very hard to meet with the 55, i think it is the, that have cede they're a no vote -- said they're a no vote for him. and speaker mccarthy put his thumb on the scales pretty significantly when he said jim jordan will be our next speaker. we're going to work it to out over the weekend and we'll saw see you on monday. i anticipate a lot of the holdouts will join pretty quickly. it's all going to come down to whipping those last votes, and if that doesn't happen, there'll be another round, and i know in that next round there's a pretty large group of folks that have all said they're interested. will: all right. pete: so another round, should it not happen here -- rachel: ray really quick, what is the hesitation among those holding out with jim jordan? what's the main concern that you're hearing in. >> some of it is just animosity because the eight, some of them were freedom caucus members and so there's, you know, the

mccarthy folks who were really solid with kevin are just angry at the fact that eight people are sort of, with the way the rules are set up, you know, pulling everyone around by the nose is what i've heard said to quote with a colleague. so it's it's frustrating and that animosity is being taken out on their guy, jim jordan. pete: can't minimize the interpersonal side of the whole thing. rachel: it's super porn -- important. >> it's all about relationships. pete: no doubt. thank you very much. >> see ya. rachel: thank you. pete: you're continuing to look live at gaza city. break down how hamas terrorists gained the weapons to start this war coming up next. ♪ ♪ i'm sam morrison. my brother max recommended you. so my best friend sophie says you've been a huge help. at ameriprise financial, more than 9 out of 10 of our clients are likely to recommend us.

pete: we're back with a fox news alert, israel's ground request invasion of gaza is imminent this morning. will: one of the biggest questions is how the terrorists were able to the acquire their weaponry in such large scale, so let's go off the wall to explore the weaponry and muscle behind the horror and terror that we saw last week in southern israel. and it always comes back in the beginning to iran. pete: so the biden administration may for strategic purposes be wanting to downplay the specific involvement of iran in these attacks, but even they

wouldn't deny the extent to which iran has been front and center, even though iran's a shia one and hamas is a up sunni terrorist organization, it's the proximity of the gaza strip and their willingness to the wage that jihad that has iran interested. whether it's tunneling through the infrastructure, smuggling weapons that otherwise would look like legitimate means and a in a lot of times aid, they find a lot of ways to get weaponry into hamas. will: that new york times article talking about how long this has been planned and what we saw take place last weekend. and, pete, i'm curious, you talk about what came in through what seems like legitimate means through the sea or through tunnels. we're going to talk about missiles and overwhelming power in a minute, but a lot of the damage done was with rifles. it was with guns. what kind -- what are we talking

about? ak-47s? pete: ak-47s, rpgs, we also saw m4s, a lot of that came from our own stocks in afghanistan. so the ability of iran to import weapons large and small, they're got a sophisticated network, and heavy been able to do it for a listening time. and then you've got the recycled material. you hi, oh, we're going to send water pipes to help with infrastructure. well, they get turned into with missile silos. they use the rubble or other previous scrap metals to turn them into weaponry. will i'll will on that note, one thing that's important is there's so many nations i including the united states that the sends humanitarian aid to palestine, and all of that almost is turned into, essentially, the war effort. i saw a video of bags used to send food that are essentially bunker bags for hamas, and they've got the country of japan 'em emblazoned all over it. pete: or think about how much metal you might use to upgrade your electrical grid that you

could also upgrade your tunnels, that's how hamas is operating. will: let's move forward let's talk about, you know, greater scale. the missiles that we hear so much about, pete. pete: yeah. i mean, they've got -- it started for many years on smaller missiles that had a limited range. so you had really southern israel is who had to be aware of what hamas' threat. now you're hearing alarms in tel aviv and jerusalem because they've acquired more and more longer range missiles. it used to be a north problem with hezbollah, now it's that hamas problem. will: 46 miles, 93-mile radiuses. as we've laid out, israel's not a big country. pete: and you're also talking about bigger and bigger warheads in that case so more and more damage. will: israel has the iron dome, this is how that system works. i'll start at the beginning of this, pete, the enemy fires the rocket from somewhere inside of gaza or the west bank. by the way, sophisticated firing system? pete: it doesn't have to be,

right? in fact, the initial reports are that hamas shot off hundreds of dummy rockets to try to engage with the iron dome so that more sophisticated missiles would come later once ammunition had been spent out of iron dome. so any type of missile can be identified. will: a radar system defects a missile has been fired and at that point a control system begins to calculate. pete: heart. and these are all mobile, so you can move the iron dome around to protect certain square miles. it's not just a missile hitting a missile, this graphic isn't necessarily graphic. it's almost more like a buck shot out of a shotgun -- will: you've essentially got a bullet meeting a -- pete: it's a bullet that becomes a shotgun spray. doesn't have to be point on point perfect, got to be area close enough that it will take out that missile that's in the air. you also have another system called david's sling which is for more sophisticated, longer range rockets and actually a third system as well that israel employs to try to protect its people.

will: all right. and, by the way, speaking of those rockets, you can take a look. the rockets from hamas have improved over time. a lot of those celebrations, i think, you used to see were over the fact that, oh, my gosh, we hit something. 22%, 18% this is hitting in urban areas and doing serious human damage this in israel. that's improved, as you can see, to about 50%. pete: better technology means more accuracy, and they're always trying to get around the defense system, no doubt. will: all right. right now smoke begins to fill the skies above gaza city. likely ahead of a full-scale invasion. pete: it's ongoing at this point. meanwhile, pro-palestinian protests break out on college campuses here at home. the disturbing trend straight ahead. >> hamas is violence, but we have to understand that these people have been under occupation for 75 years.y ag ♪ ♪ a perfect king's hawaiian slider.

>> there is a propaganda going around about 40 babies being burned alive and slaughtered, whatever. that was obviously prop propaganda. >> i think in this case certainly what hamas did is violent, but we have to understand that these people have been under occupation for 75 years. rachel: some disturbing comments yesterday from from a pro-palestinian protest at a college in new york city. far from an isolated incident,

scores of similar rallies have broken out on campuses across our country including many so-called elite universities like unc, ucla and harvard. so what's behind the growing anti-israel and some would say anti-semitic sentiments on college campuses? here to react is the co-author of "stolen youth," bethany mandel. it's so great to have you on this morning. so i've been watching this unfold, first, let me get your reaction and then we can kind of unpack this a little bit. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, what we just heard was holocaust revisionism. we have foreign journalists on the ground in israel who have seen these decapitated babies in person. they volunteered to go into these kibbutzes and look at these bodies. there's nothing at play here but holocaust revisionism, and this is no way possible for us to prove to them that there are dead babies who were massacred in their beds to these people. they don't care about jewish

lives. and the fact that this is happening on our elite campuses, the fact that these are supposedly e the people who are the most educated in america really speaks volumes to what we call education in america. rachel: that's a point that that i think is really interesting. i think i blame the students less than i blame the universities that are churning out student thes who are looking at everything -- students who are looking at everything through this marxist point of view, oppressed versus oppressor. how much of to onus is on our education system versus the students? >> i mean, i'm not going to give legal adults a pass here. they have the ability to open a computer or and look at these photos themselves. if they're not able to process information, if they're not able to understand that dozens of foreign journalists and the president of the united states is all ine dependently confirmed that there were babies massacred, i don't know how to prove it to them. obviously, i blame the universities, but these are cults who are excusing the

maas -- adults who are excusing the massacre of civilians in their beds. rachel: is it possible for students to be pro-palestinian or palestinian sympathizers and not be anti-semitic? in other words, could they have done a better job of saying, listen, i am anti9-hamas, i disavow everything they've done and yet, you know, is have sympathies towards the conditions for the palestinians is that where they went wrong in your view? >> they're putting images of the people who were flying in on paragliders on black lives matter chicago. they're calling them freedom fighters. it is absolutely possible to say i deplore innocent life being lost on both sides, but you have to put the responsibility for that initially here on hamas. rachel: have you ready anything, bethany, about how much of this is home grown american students versus foreign students? because i've heard a lot of talk these days that there is no limit on foreign student

enrollment, and i wonder how much is being fomented by that. >> honestly, a lot of what i'm seeing, a lot of these interviews are idiot marxist, leftist students. of course there is a foreign element at play here, but there's a lot of stupid white kids from connecticut. rachel: yeah. who probably couldn't find israel on a map, there's no doubt about that. bethany, i really want to thank you for joining us today. i did see the video footage of the children being handled by terrorists and rocked supposedly and cared for. i know you and i both are bonded by our big broods with, and my heart is hurting for those children, and i hope these hostages are all released, especially the innocent children. thank you for joining us, bethany. all right. trey yingst is live in southern israel with the very latest next. stay with us. ♪
