Time Text
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And as you know, Israel is dragging the world into war and attempting to drag the United States into conflict with Iran.
Israel has shown itself to be, with the Pager attacks in particular, a terror state.
with its relentless attacks on civilians, the killing of tens of thousands of women and children, not only in Gaza, but also now in Beirut and in other regions, Israel has shown itself to have complete disregard for human life and to be fueled by an ethnic supremacist philosophy of Israel has shown itself to have complete disregard for human life and to be fueled by an ethnic supremacist philosophy of Zionism that believes that God gave them
And as an American myself, I am disgusted by the fact that the United States continues to supply money and weapons to Israel.
And I'm not going to be silent about that.
It's time to stop all the slaughter and murder.
And Israel is putting us in such grave danger.
Now, joining us today is a key person, a key analyst who understands this.
He joins us from Lebanon, so please excuse if his bandwidth is not perfect.
His name is Leith Marouf.
He is the founder of Free Palestine TV, which is found at FreePalestine.video.
And Laith, welcome to the program, sir.
This is the first time we've ever spoken, so we have a lot to cover, but welcome.
Thank you for having me. It's my pleasure to be there.
Well, thank you for being here, Laith.
And just for the record, you and I have not spoken before.
I don't know much, actually, about your history.
I'd like you to present us with sort of who you are and how you came to what you're doing today and understanding that Just from the U.S. audiences and the U.S. government officials that are watching, I may or may not endorse everything that you've ever said in your whole history, and you may not endorse everything I've said, but I think we both agree that what's happening today must be stopped.
So with that, please go ahead and introduce yourself.
Yes, definitely. Freedom of speech is one of the most important things, and we can disagree.
As long as we all have platforms to speak, then the audience always will be able to make their own judgment.
Unfortunately, as we see in the world that we live in today, freedom of speech is very scarce on social media and all these platforms.
So thank you for having me.
As you presented me, my name is Leith.
I am a broadcast law expert consultant.
I work on the field of licensing television and radio stations and writing laws and policies for broadcasting in the broadcasting industry.
Commissions in different countries around the world.
I am a citizen of Canada.
I'm married to an American citizen from Louisiana.
And my children are, you know, tri-national, Syrian, Canadian, American.
And I work in my capacity through this knowledge that I have to build We have different projects for communities that need this, whether it is the communities that I belong to, like the Palestinian and Arab communities.
Okay, thank you for that introduction.
So what role does Free Palestine TV play today?
Is Free Palestine TV still able to actively broadcast, given all the targeting and destruction and interference by Israel?
Well, definitely we're under a lot of pressure everywhere.
We have journalists on the ground in the West Bank and here in Lebanon, and we have reporters from different parts of the region.
And on the ground, for instance, our bureau office manager in Ramallah was kidnapped yesterday by the Palestinian Authority goons that collaborate with the Israeli government.
They held her for the day and then they released her.
And she was, Firuz Salami, her name is, and she was a former prisoner of war that was released in the exchange that happened in the beginning of the genocide in Gaza.
If you remember when there was a small exchange, she was being held by the Israeli government without any charges or trial, and she was part of those who were released in that exchange.
So you see, our work is dangerous just because We are producing content in English, bringing the voice of the people on the ground in the places that are less covered, even in the, let's say, progressive and or critical media that is in English.
For the most part, it was concentrated on Gaza.
We tried to show the other Parts of this war and the genocide playing out in the West Bank and in Lebanon.
And our team here in Lebanon, before this latest stage of increase in hostilities, while we were working in South Lebanon, myself and my cameraman, Hadi Hotait, the Israeli drone fired one A white phosphorus missile beside us.
We were alone near a field that nobody was there.
And luckily the wind blew the other side.
And then they fired an explosive head.
And again, we were very lucky that there was a cement half-meter fence at the edge of the land that we were standing beside that took the brunt of the attack.
Especially ones that are trying to speak to the rest of the world and show the rest of the world the crimes being committed by the Zionist regime are a primary target wherever they are.
Absolutely. That appears to be the case, and it's clear that Israel feels that it has no restrictions whatsoever, that it believes it has the right to assassinate anybody anywhere in any country at any time, and the so-called rules-based order be damned, because there are no rules.
The West pretends to have rules, but it only enforces them when it suits the West.
Now, I want to mention something for you and all those watching.
That speaks to the complexity of this issue.
So my platform and my show here are known as being pro-America, pro-Liberty conservatives.
So, for example, we support Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris.
But as you know, every candidate is pro-Zionist at the moment in the United States.
All of them. I want you to know that what Israel is doing has...
Psychologically impacted so many people that it is even causing people in areas such as conservative America to now call out Israel's war crimes and genocide, which probably had never happened in years before or rarely had ever happened.
What are your thoughts on the fact that Israel is making now far more enemies than friends all over the world?
You know, I think I can...
As a person who lived and visited the south of the United States, I can understand the kind of conservatism that exists in much of the American society.
And in my mind, That conservatism is progressive conservatism.
Progressive in terms of we care for our children, we care for our families, we care for our elders, we care for the needy, we care for those who need help.
And at the same time, we are conservative in terms of what we like to not allow anyone to dictate to us in terms of how we deal with our family issues inside the family.
So this is where I think the majority of Americans are, and there's not only Americans, but the majority of humanity are good-willed.
We want to take care of those who are in need and we want to be close to our families and take care of them.
And what's happening in the United States is that neither parties want to allow the American people To actually, you know, achieve what they're asking for, which is to better their society, to better the world, to not be a cause of war anywhere around the world.
And neither parties will offer them because they truly don't represent the people of the United States.
You're exactly right. I'm really glad you pointed that out.
Progressive conservatism, that's an interesting phrase.
I would also add that I think many conservatives in America have come to realize that this war, all the wars, are just a racket.
It's a scam that costs real human lives, causes real human suffering.
It causes disruption and psychological terror all over the world in order to enrich a few powerful weapons corporations that give money to the political establishment.
And we are done with that, many of us.
Now, let me switch topics and ask you about the latest intel.
When I left my home to come to the studio, Iran was launching ballistic missiles in retaliation.
This was a long-anticipated event.
Please, can you tell us what you know so far about that missile launch from Iran?
Yes, as we were getting on right now, Iran was launching a second wave.
The first wave of missiles were all targeted to military targets, and practically 50% of those missiles hit Israeli troops inside the extermination camp of Gaza.
So, the Iranians were targeting the forces of Israel inside Gaza, and we saw huge celebrations break out inside Gaza.
The videos are out right now, although there is an order by the censors in the Israeli media not to share any footage of the missiles hitting their targets.
On social media, but it's too late.
They're all out right now on the broadcasters.
Huge explosions, hundreds of missiles hitting the main airports for the Israeli Air Force, the airfields, and as well as the Ben-Gurion Airport.
And all the gatherings of troops around South Lebanon.
So we have this announced as the first wave.
This is, by the way, coincided with multiple attacks in the streets of Tel Aviv and Herzliya.
Please tell us more. Yeah, gunmen, you know, confronted some of these off-duty soldiers and shut up people on the streets of Tel Aviv.
I think that the numbers now is up to 10.
Dead, 30 somewhat injured.
And there's another shooting situation happening in Hartzellia where a hotel housing, again, troops that are being moved, was being attacked by Placidian gunmen.
So we see a coordinated attack from all sides.
There's celebrations right now as we speak in Lebanon.
Because there has been a total silence of no drones, no fighter jets on top of us bombarding the city in Beirut, and no movement at all on the border with occupied Palestine.
So you said many significant things there, and also it reminds me, I want to tell our audience that my understanding is that Lebanon is roughly about 30% Christian.
Is that correct? Yes, yes, 30% Christian.
And of course, look, the Palestinians, a big chunk of them is also Christian.
Yes. And in Syria and in Iraq, and those were the communities that have suffered the most over the last hundred years since the creation of the Zionist colony.
You know, because once the British decided to create A Jewish supremacist state, an ethno-religious state in the land of Palestine, that's when something like a Muslim ideology that is political started forming when you saw this creation of a Muslim state, let's say, in the Saudi Kingdom and what have you.
So the presence of this ethnostate that was created by the West harmed the most the Christian population of the region.
Yes, that is really significant.
And the reason I bring that up is because more Americans seem to take heart to have some compassion when they realize how many Christians are being slaughtered and how many Christian churches were bombed, for example, in Gaza or Christian-affiliated hospitals.
And I also want to point out, and I haven't asked you what faith you follow, if any, but let me say this first.
Zionism does not recognize Jesus Christ as their Savior.
It was the ancient Israelites This is told in the Bible in at least two different chapters.
They demanded the murder of Christ, whereas in Islam, Christ is recognized as a prophet.
So actually, philosophically or religiously, Islam gives Christ more credibility than does Zionism, and yet you have Christian churches in America that are mostly pro-Zionism and anti-Islam, And it's just bizarre to me.
Do you care to comment about the religious aspects of all of this?
Yes, look, I am Muslim, but here's what we as faithful people that claim to belong to the same school of thoughts, that believe in the same creator, the just, the merciful God, All of us agree on.
That is, our place on this earth is a test.
After we mistreated our creator in heaven and took that apple, our test, the mercy of our creator said, here you have a heaven of your own called earth.
And see you at the end of time.
And I will only judge you, not on how you treat me as a creator, but how you treat each other.
Yes. And so don't kill, don't steal, don't covet your neighbor's things.
And that simple understanding of what faith means, okay?
It is in the essence of Judaism that liberated the slaves from the Pharaoh, our prophet Moses, the liberator of slaves, and in the words of our prophet Jesus,
the healer of the sick, the one who died to cleanse our record The Messiah in Arabic, the Messiah means the one who cleansed us of our sin.
And the words of Prophet Muhammad that Saad said there is no God but God and he is the most merciful.
And so the Zionists desecrate the word of our Prophet Moses.
And instead of saying we all come from the same mother and father, Adam and Eve, and that we are all equal birth, and the only thing that differentiates us is how we treat each other, they say no.
There is a chosen people, and the rest of us are guim, are made in their image to be slaves.
That is not the word of our prophet Moses.
No, no. They say they can kill a Palestinian and steal his land.
That is against the Ten Commandments of our prophet Moses.
And that's against the teachings of Christ.
And that's why it's so infuriating when Christian churches support Zionism, which is a fanatical ethnic supremacist philosophy that has far more in common with the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler than it has in common with which is a fanatical ethnic supremacist philosophy that has far more in common with the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler than But thank you for your description on that.
Let me ask you about, let's get back to the Iranian ballistic missiles.
It seems like if they are striking Ben Gurion and airfields, that they are attempting to deteriorate the IDF's ability to launch aircraft and rain down bombs.
Number one, does that seem accurate, that that's what they're attempting to do?
And then secondly, do you think that airfields have been significantly damaged at this point?
Oh yes, the videos that are out there that I was watching on the live broadcast before we got on show, I mean, just one airport from one of these videos had like 40, 50 missiles rain on it.
There's nothing left of it.
Oh my! So the Israelis have been, you know, hiding all their losses for a year, but now it's getting to a point that it's impossible for them to hide it.
Yes, I think the priority right now for the axis of resistance is to end the ability of the Zionists to bombard civilians from air.
It's gone for too long.
They should call for the world to institute a no-fly zone over Palestine.
And so we can end this.
They cannot continue to rain death on people from the air.
And once that is out of the picture, clearly, I don't know where the United States will go as a government.
I know the people do not want this war, but looking at how Harris and Biden are right now in the situation room saying they'll defend the Zionist colony no matter what.
If the Zionists actually throw something on Iran, Will actually the American troops stand in the way of people trying to liberate Palestine?
Well, that's right.
Let me share my assessment of that as an American.
I believe that there is very strong political willingness to print money and write checks and to go through the theatrical motions of supporting Israel.
However, because of the war between Ukraine and Russia, the truth is that the United States military is running out of munitions.
And the U.S. military industrial output is severely compromised for a number of reasons, some of which are cultural in the United States.
There's not a work ethic, for example, in America.
Nobody wants to work at a bomb factory and make bombs.
So in terms of a war of attrition, What we found out with Ukraine and Russia was that Russia can outproduce the entire West in terms of weapons and artillery and missiles and rockets.
I think we're about to run up to the same question for Israel plus the US versus the industrial output of rockets and missiles from Hezbollah as well as Iran.
I believe that Israel is about to run out of its Iron Dome And I believe that America, no matter how much money it prints, it cannot print more bombs and missiles.
So that's my assessment of where we are.
I wonder if Israel is close to running out of munitions.
I don't have any inside intel on that.
That's just my overall assessment.
It definitely is getting very dicey for them, especially since Hezbollah over the last week Bombarded all the major weapon factories, the Rafael military industrial complex north of Haifa,
where most of the Iron Dome missiles and the David Sling missiles are made, as well as the chemical factories in the north of Palestine that produce the explosive chemicals for the rockets and what have you.
So the Israelis are at the edge of But it seems like the United States is willing to give all its stockpile.
Yes, it seems so. Yeah, and I don't know, maybe it's because there's a vegetable emperor, they've handed over control of the American military to Netanyahu until a new president comes in on January 20th.
This is how it seems like.
Anything that he wants is under his command.
So we are edging to a situation where, because it's clear the Israelis have lost the ground war in Gaza, although they managed to genocide what the Lancet, the medical journal in the UK, has said is at least 300,000 civilians in Gaza.
They have yet to accomplish Any military victory against the Palestinians on the ground.
And they are, yesterday in their attempted quote-unquote invasion of South Lebanon, their expedition group that was trying to cross the border got decimated and they lost three tanks and all the infantry crew that was with it and ran back immediately.
So this shows us that The only way forward right now for the Zionists to continue this war is to force the American troops to engage on their behalf.
And not only hiding, but directly and openly.
Now, that's the first I had heard of.
You said the three tanks destroyed and the IDF troops killed and pushed back across the border.
Thank you for sharing that.
Of course, when we get our news in America from the corporate media, it's pretty much the IDF press office that tells us no soldiers from Israel were ever wounded or killed, and all the missiles from Hezbollah only exploded harmlessly in fields.
That's what we are told constantly, every day.
And I think the total number of IDF soldiers that have ever been killed since last October 7th, I think we're told that number is only a few hundred total.
Something like this.
So we know we're being constantly lied to.
But there is the fog of war.
And one question I have for you, Laith, is why would Iran launch missiles into the IDF troop areas in Gaza?
Because my understanding was that a lot of the divisions had been repositioned into North Israel to prepare for the invasion of Lebanon.
I did not realize there were a strong troop presence still in North Gaza.
Can you please explain?
Yes.
So the Israelis didn't actually move much of their troops from Gaza.
They still are stationing one third of their troops in and around Gaza, another third inside the West Bank, and one third in the north.
They have moved some howitzers to the north to begin their bombardment campaigns of the frontline villages in South Lebanon.
But that's it, because they're too scared to move anything.
Because at any moment, if there's weakness in Gaza, it could spill over very easily.
Similarly in the West Bank.
So they are held down Actually having to defend every inch of the colony.
The only place that they're not contesting with the axis of resistance is the heartland between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
The rest of the Zionist colony is right now in contestation.
Who has, you know, monopoly over the use of force?
So that's where We can see how overstretched the Israeli military is.
And this is why the United States will be dragged in, because they cannot conduct a ground force.
And in Gaza, they have the Natsarim axis, which cuts the Gaza Strip in half.
They leveled a whole pathway of, you know, almost a kilometer wide from one side of Gaza all the way to the sea and stationed all their troops there, shooting at anything that moves from all sides and not allowing the Palestinians to cross back north or south of the strip.
And those troops got decimated.
As well as the troops stationed on the Nisairat camp area and the Israeli gas fields across from Gaza in the Mediterranean Sea were also hit.
Okay, this is really significant, these things that you're saying, and it shows that Israel has failed to achieve the goals that Netanyahu set out after October 7th.
He said he was going to destroy Hamas.
Clearly that has not happened, and it is...
An impossible goal because Hamas is an ideological movement.
And then secondly, he said he was going to rescue all the hostages.
That also did not happen.
In fact, Israel ended up killing many of its own hostages.
I'm not talking about just on October 7th, but in days after that.
But now Netanyahu appears to be willing to sacrifice Israel's entire economy to In order to continue to wage war now to the north with Lebanon.
And the economic impact, I'd like your comments on this Laith, the economic impacts can't be overstated here.
Who's going to ever invest in Israel again?
Who's going to build a manufacturing facility?
300,000 workers out of the Israeli economy were pulled in to fight the war.
Israel's ports have been essentially nullified by the Yemeni military.
Israel's economy is essentially at a standstill.
And I'm not even talking about the humanitarian aspects here right now, but the financial.
Fitch downgraded Israel's credit rating.
Anybody would be insane to lend money to any company in Israel at this point or the Israeli government.
Please speak to us about your view of the economic impacts.
Yeah, you're right. The rating companies dropped the Israeli economy three times since the beginning of, I don't know, the ratings that they have in the last year.
And, you know, all the industrial zone, people think it's around Tel Aviv.
It's actually in the north of Palestine where all the tech companies and factories are and those have been out of commission because of the Lebanese resistance firing on the area for the last year and especially since the last few months with the escalations that happened.
So the industrial core, the technical core of the country is on standstill for a year So even the numbers that we are seeing by these rating companies are still trying to protect the truth about the Israeli economy.
Because if they were truthful, they should have dropped them to the lowest rating on the ladder and make it an insolvent state, basically.
Right now, Israel is living on direct...
A military bridge of weapons coming from Germany, the United States, Canada, France, Italy, and a nonstop flow of funding from the Zionist communities across Europe and America, North America, as well as all the subsidies that the United States and other countries are throwing at them.
It was always The idea of Israel being a tech giant or that they are great, let's say, in anything, if you think about it, was always a lie.
You know, American companies were being forced, for instance, like Intel, to go and open factories there or what have you, to manufacture jobs for this unsustainable colony.
And it's also part of What they were drilling to everybody's head, even in the West, in the Christian population and others, that there is a chosen people, that they are so great and better than all of us, that they can be the best comedians and the best doctors and the best lawyers and the best actors and the best business people and the best scientists.
I mean, this is, and people started believing this.
The truth of the matter, all of us, no matter what ethnic, religious, or cultural group we come from, we're equal, there's bad apples and good apples in every community, there's smart and dumb people,
there's nobody that's better than anybody, we're all the children of Adam and Eve, and anyone that denies that is It's actually driving us to this world war situation that we're hurtling towards.
I'm really glad you pointed that out.
And my experience has been that every time I talk to somebody who is of Islamic faith, or someone, if I've interviewed a Palestinian person, or talked to sources who are Lebanese Christians, they've always been very reasoned and very well informed and they've had philosophical, detailed arguments.
And then I listen to Christian pastors in the USA and they are screaming, kill them all, kill them all, wipe them all out.
And the contrast is really shocking to me because there's no reason and rationality in the evangelical Christian communities that are calling for mass death.
The only reason that I'm finding, the only rationality I'm finding is actually from the voices of the Palestinians at the moment.
So let me ask you this. Your broadcast hub is freepalestine.video, correct?
Yes. And currently that forwards to your website, Leith Haruf, but I understand that's going to be changed.
What is it that you hope to achieve?
What is your goal when you say free Palestine?
Please tell us, what do you mean exactly by that?
Look, what we mean by that is equality for everyone that lives in Palestine, the historic land of Palestine.
So if a Jewish colonist This is the same offer that Salah Hadid I gave to the crusaders at the end of the crusades when he was defeating the crusader armies.
He said any crusader that wants to stay and accepts equality, they can stay.
They'll be protected. Nobody's going to punish them or call for vengeance or retribution for their crimes.
Anyone that wants to leave...
I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm going to have to ask you to back up even more, because believe it or not, there are Americans perhaps watching this that do not realize the way Palestinians are treated.
They do not.
Because look, we are told the lie that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
So there are Americans who think that Palestinians and Israelis get to vote side by side.
That Palestinians and Israelis have the same job opportunities, that they can all just go source the same groceries and all the same things and use all the same roads.
So you're going to have to back up and educate some of our audience perhaps more than you anticipated.
Yes, yes, okay.
Well, you know, the creation of the Zionist colony, Between mid-1947 and the declaration of the State of Israel in April 1948, the Jewish militias, the Haganahs and others, did an ethnic cleansing campaign under the protection of the British occupying forces.
And before even the war of 1948 broke out, after the declaration of Israel, The State of Israel, even before that, 75% of all Palestinians were either killed or expelled out of their historical land of Palestine.
So those who remained inside historical Palestine are the ones that are living under occupation in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem that don't have any citizenship,
right? And then there is A million or so Palestinians that are citizens of the state of Israel that have voting rights but cannot start parties that do not acknowledge that the state is Jewish and that the Jewish culture is the supreme culture that the state is made for.
And those are internally displaced Palestinians that although they are citizens of Israel, Israel are not allowed to go back to the villages they were expelled from inside what is now Israel, and their lands are given to the colonists.
So it is an apartheid state, and what we have is Jewish supremacy, not Judaism, that is governing the state.
It's like saying, I want to have a Muslim state.
And everybody who is not Muslim in this state are second class citizens.
Right. This is a problem.
Similarly, this is why we have, you know, in the United States, for instance, in order to protect everybody's religious rights, you have the Constitution and all the different sects that are there.
They're protected and the churches are protected.
And that's the opposite of what Israel has.
And I want to say that in South Lebanon, just in the last two days, there was four different churches That were bombed by Israel.
This is above and beyond the churches in Gaza.
And for our Christian listeners, viewers, there's a town in South Lebanon called Magdusha.
It's where, you know, our Mother Mary, it's the furthest point she went outside Palestine in her travels, and it's a very important site, and the Israeli Air Force has been bombarding right around that shrine on all sides.
Yes, yes. I've seen some of that.
But back to your objectives for Free Palestine, it sounds to me like what you are asking for is actual democracy.
One person, one vote.
People have equal standing under the law.
People have equal rights to speak, to own land, to engage in contract, to form their own political parties or their own religious practices.
I mean, it sounds like what you are calling for is In Palestine is what we would describe as the Bill of Rights in America.
Does that seem accurate?
Exactly. And this has been the problem from day one.
You know, when the refugees and other Zionists came from Europe, They didn't just want to live in Palestine.
And Palestine, historically, is a land of immigrants and refugees and pilgrims.
You know, in the old days, a Christian, Jewish or Muslim pilgrim that went on the path to pilgrimage to Jerusalem By the time they got where they are, they either didn't have money or, you know, were ready to die, and they just stayed there.
So Palestine is this land.
There was never an issue of taking in refugees.
There's the, you know, Armenian quarter, there's the Sharkessian and Chechen quarters, there's every refugee from the area, they had quarters in Jerusalem.
And again, because This is the place where people came to pilgrimage and were accepted if they wanted to stay.
And what we had instead is the creation of A Jewish exclusive state that rejects the indigenous people, whether they're Jewish, Christian, or Muslim.
And let's not forget that there's actually Palestinians that are still on the religion of our prophet John the Baptist.
They have their own holy book, and they are the only remaining people in the world that practice the faith preached by John the Baptist.
So this is the reality of Palestine prior to Zionism, and we want to get back to that.
And the... Well, I'm sorry.
Thank you for clarifying that, because it seems like history is on your side here, because colonizing forces, eventually they fall.
And I think two excellent examples are, of course, apartheid of South Africa, and this is why many people describe Israel as a Zionist apartheid occupation of Palestine, but then also the British rule of India.
And there are many other examples of this throughout history.
But in every case, the colonizers were eventually defeated, but only at great cost to the indigenous people, at great cost.
Do you feel like the people of Palestine and their supporters, number one, do they recognize the historical significance of this great cost?
And there's already been a terrible cost extracted in Gaza over the last year.
Are these people, in your view, willing to pay this price for their freedom?
I mean, we have all been watching for a year the videos of the valiant resistance of the Palestinian people inside Gaza and their unfathomable sacrifices being broadcasted and blasted on all our social media.
So it is impossible right now to deny that the Palestinian people are giving and willing to give even all to achieve liberty and freedom.
And that's what is inspiring the rest of the world.
Those images are etched now in our minds.
I want to tell our viewers that you can go to Free Palestine TV's Rumble station A rumble page.
And you can watch all the videos coming out from the resistance inside Gaza and in Lebanon daily.
We translate them, their operation videos.
So it's all translated in English.
And you can see on a daily basis the Palestinians taking out whole Number of tanks inside Gaza.
You could see what Hezbollah does every day.
And I want to remind everybody that Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah was martyred in the attack On Beirut a few days ago, he was declared a martyr by most of the churches in our region, including the Orthodox and the Catholic churches all named him a martyr for his people.
This is above and beyond, of course, the status that has been given to him by all the Muslim sects also.
And in his last speech, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, and we know now that the Zionist through the American envoy Hochstein, who happens to be also a dual Israeli citizen and a former officer in the Israeli military,
He had threatened Nasrallah with assassination because in the negotiations to a ceasefire on the Lebanese border, Hezbollah said they are willing to stop all the missile throwing as long as the genocide in Gaza immediately stops.
And the Israelis refused to stop the genocide in Gaza and decided to To assassinate Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah.
And thus he knew his death is coming.
So in his last speech, addressing all the people, he told them, I may not be with you soon.
Nobody noticed this in his speech.
I may not be with you soon, but Palestine is assured to be free.
Very powerful statement and very historically significant that Israel chose to escalate by assassinating Nasrallah and also in the process killing hundreds of innocent families, men, women and children in their residential buildings.
I have found your channel on Rumble.
It's called, here it is, Free Palestine TV on Rumble.
I just want to show that for our viewers if they want to follow you on Rumble.
And of course, you are welcome to have a channel and to post on our platform, brighteon.com.
And I do want to say for the record, we do not discriminate.
Also, there may be pro-Israel channels on Brighteon.com.
There may be pro-Zionist channels on Brighteon.
We believe in a marketplace of ideas.
But you are also welcome, Laith, to post on Brighteon.com.
I'm going to take you on that.
And this is the thing.
If there's freedom of speech for everybody...
People seeing logic and truth will discern it.
And if people see these videos of what's happening in Palestine, we can definitely change minds because the Zionists are losing because they're lying.
And I don't want to silence them.
In fact, they're exposing themselves.
They are. That's a really good point.
Right after October 7th, when I saw the words coming out of the mouths of Gevir and Gallant and Netanyahu, I was astonished.
And then many of those quotes became evidence at the International Court of Justice because they were so blatantly saying that they wanted to commit...
It was shocking to me.
But I also want to mention, Laith, that many of us in America have come to realize that as Palestine is occupied by Zionists, the United States government is occupied by Zionists.
I mean, we've come to find out that Half of the State Department, the CDC, the FDA, half of the Biden administration is all dual citizenship.
Israelis, Zionists, who are basically controlling America and forcing America to send all this money to Israel and all these weapons to Israel while they do nothing.
And this is a big issue right now.
Nothing for the flood victims in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida.
There are hundreds of thousands of people impacted by these recent floods, this Hurricane Helene.
No response from the federal government.
No money, no support, no help.
But the government's sending money to Israel.
This issue, Laith, I don't know how aware you are of this, but this is really infuriating Americans.
It's like, what about us?
We are your constituents.
We are the American people.
We pay taxes and you just send it to Israel or Ukraine.
People are on fire about this.
I told you I'm married to a woman from Louisiana, so I know that her family dealing with all the hurricanes and what, you know, the failures that the United States has in taking care of its own people after these hurricanes is historic.
It's not just now.
And, you know, look, the United States, we hear a lot of people blabbing about, oh, there's the Christian rights.
They want to make us into a Christian state.
But in reality, we have a Zionist state.
And the official, you know, religion in the United States right now is Zionism.
It's not Judaism or Christianity.
It's Zionism. You can go on air and have demeaning content against Prophet Jesus, Prophet Moses, Prophet Muhammad.
You can desecrate any holy book you want to anywhere, but If you dare and criticize the Zionist colony and the Zionist ideology, you are ostracized from society, your job is destroyed,
you are made to walk with a scarlet letter, and the government may even drag you into jail or beat you up in the streets, as we see for those kids that are demonstrating against the genocide in Palestine.
And even everything about academic freedom The police are now in charge of the university, the same university that you can make fun of people's religious beliefs in and enforce on them how to live and how to deal with their body and so forth and intervene in people's bedrooms wants you to We have no right to criticize the state of Israel.
That's the religion right now, and that's a shame.
The people in the United States, and I know that the majority of our Christian brothers and sisters don't want to enforce their religion on anybody.
They want to just have the right to raise their families and children the way they want to, and nobody intervening in that.
But what we see is that there is these Zionists that want to enforce on everybody how to raise our children and how to even educate ourselves.
Well, yeah, and even enforcing a particular view of history, you can't teach what really happened.
You can only teach their version.
And, you know, I live in Texas.
And show our studio camera, Camera 6.
Here we have the Texas flag.
And our own governor, who does a fantastic job on many, many issues, yet when it comes to...
There it is, the Texas flag.
When it comes to Israel...
You know, he loses his mind.
He's all in. Whatever Israel wants, we'll crack down on free speech on the college campuses.
They didn't crack down when Antifa was setting buildings on fire and rampaging across the UT campus, but when somebody speaks out and says free Palestine, all of a sudden they're all terrorists and they have to be deported.
So I'm pushing back on this, Laith.
I'm pushing back against Senator Cruz, against Governor Abbott, and also against Donald Trump.
I'm going to vote for Trump.
I want to be clear. I'm voting for Trump for other reasons.
But when he's in the White House, he's going to hear from people like me.
You've got to put America first, not Israel first.
You need to protect our borders, and we've got to de-escalate from these wars.
And also, Laith, I'll add, and then I'll ask you to add your final thoughts as we wrap this up.
But I am happy to live alongside Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, even atheists, and other Christians and different varieties and Baptists and Catholics and you name it.
I am happy to live alongside all of them.
We can all be neighbors.
We can all trade with each other.
This idea that we have to fight and kill each other because we have a different religious faith or background or because some group says God told us we can kill all of you, that's insane.
That is not compatible with human civilization.
We have got to learn to get along with each other and to recognize fundamental human dignity, which is what you're calling for, is what it sounds like to me.
You just want the Palestinian people to be recognized as equal human beings.
And that's pretty much what you're asking.
Yes, yes. And look, I think all of us can agree that we do not want anybody to impose on us how we think and how we behave to ourselves.
Our freedom ends where it affects anybody else's freedom.
And even when we see, let's say, Think about these issues that are rising up about sexuality and so on.
I know that most of the conservative community doesn't care what somebody does with their own genitals or what kind of sex life they want to have if it's not put in their face.
If it's in your private space, if it's not the public space that is being enforced on our children.
Nobody wants straight sex education being enforced on little children, let alone gay sex education.
So the problem that we all have And what individuals like these Zionists are trying to enforce on us is that they want to enforce a way of life on everybody and you don't have any say in it.
And you have to admit that they are superior to you.
You have no individual freedoms to your body, to how you treat your children, how to raise your family.
And Palestine Is that on a global scale?
Palestine is the exhibition of that same mentality of trying to enforce on people these beliefs on a global scale, and this is why it's blowing up in everybody's face right now.
Alright, final thoughts, Lathan.
Thank you for that description.
What do you think is going to happen over the next few days, given where we are right now?
Iran just launching ballistic missiles, the IDF forces invading southern Lebanon and being pushed back.
What does it look like over the next few days, in your best assessment?
I believe we are heading to more war, because up until now we have not heard one word from the Zionists That show that they are willing to accept equality.
And it doesn't seem like the Western elite in control of the US and Europe and so on want to either force them to also accept equality.
So what does this mean? It means that They want to keep on asserting their superiority in various ways, and that means genocide.
And they fear the fact that in historic Palestine, why they are conducting right now the genocide in Gaza, Although they lost the military battle, is because they fear the fact that for the first time since 1948, the Palestinian population inside the historic Palestine has surpassed numerically the settlers from outside the country.
And that means that it's over demographically for the Zionist colony.
So they want to conduct a Extermination campaign.
The likes we haven't seen since, you know, the 1700s in the invasions of the Americas.
And, you know, so they want to bring us back to the Wild Wild West.
But the Wild Wild West Bank kind of situation.
And the axis of resistance is going to do its best not to allow this to happen.
And I fear the United States is going to get involved.
And I fear for all those American people that are waiting for this election in November, that if the United States gets militarily involved, and given that there was those two-time attempts on the life of Trump, that maybe Harris will call a...
What do you call it?
You know, deploy the military on the ground and martial law and delay the elections if there's a full-out war and the American military is involved in it.
That is a concern of many of us.
Exactly. And that's why we pray for peace.
We join you in praying for peace.
We pray for de-escalation and for fundamental human rights.
So, Laith, I want to thank you for joining us today.
I know it's very late where you are, and I know you've done many, many interviews.
So thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
Laith, your website is freepalestine.video.
And then I've got your Rumble channel up here, which is Free Palestine TV on Rumble.
And I'm going to check that out too and just see what you have there.
And for those of you watching, if you are a pro-Zionist and pro-Israel, guess what?
You have freedom of speech too. Please, make your arguments.
Post your videos on brighttown.com.
Make your arguments why you think God chose you to murder everybody else.
And let the world hear your logic in that.
Because we want to hear both sides of this.
I'm very curious how this is justified.
But thank you, Leith.
I appreciate you joining us today.
Thank you for having me, brother.
All right. Take care. Be safe.
And thank all of you for watching.
Mike Adams here at Brighteon.com.
And again, I pray for peace.
I want to be clear. I do not wish any harm upon any Jew or any Israeli.
I do wish Netanyahu would be arrested and prosecuted.
But I do not wish any harm or any bloodshed upon anybody.
I wish for peace and fundamental human rights and humanitarian principles.
And yes, I say that as a conservative who is voting for Trump.
A Christian conservative demands peace.
You know why? Because that's what Christ called for.
That's what Christ called for.
Think about that. Welcome to my show!
So I want to tell you what we're doing at healthrangerstore.com because we do have food supplies.
We have intentionally stocked up on supplies.
What we're doing to get those supplies into the hands of people in need and also how you can help us and help yourself at the same time.
So first, we had already committed a couple of pallets of our food donations and we're currently organizing transport and also working to find the correct staging area.
We got to get it from our warehouse in Texas to the staging area in, well, Asheville is the current one we're trying to get closest to.
But we also decided, we had a lot of people ask, how can we help?
There are various fundraisers out there.
If you donate money to the various fundraisers, make sure it's legit.
There could be scams out there.
But what we are doing is a buy one, gift one arrangement where if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash relief, Just type that in, healthrangerstore.com slash relief, and you'll find this page.
You buy one food bucket, and we will donate an additional bucket to disaster victims that are impacted by Helene.
And as you can see here, the ranger buckets, and we've got other food buckets.
I've also got some on my desk here.
If you could show those, just a little selection of what we have.
And what's in these buckets are what we call food bricks.
So this is what one of the bricks looks like.
It's vacuum-packed.
It's nitrogen-flooded and vacuum-packed in a very rugged, long-term, storable, and waterproof format, which is really outstanding for the kind of emergencies that people are facing right now.
These are lentils here.
Again, food bricks. And inside the buckets, there are many, many of these food bricks.
We have chia seeds and we have cashews that can be eaten immediately.
Where many of the items that we are sending, of course, you need to boil water.
So you need to have some way to boil water in order to make a soup or to cook the beans or cook the lentils.
Add some salt if you can have that.
So it's not instant, you know, ready to eat meals, except for the cashews and some of the other nuts and almonds and things that we have.
For most of it, it does require boiling water.
However, this is certified organic, laboratory tested food, and we have a significant supply here that we can donate.
So if you buy food for yourself...
Every bucket that you buy, we will donate the same bucket or an equivalent bucket if we run out of those buckets, or we also reserve the right to donate cash that's equivalent to the value of the bucket in case we don't have the inventory to actually support this.
So right now, go to healthrangerstore.com slash relief.
You can choose any of our food buckets here.
We have many different materials in these rugged polyethylene buckets.
We've even got some here on the second page right here.
So you can choose any of these buckets, mega buckets or ranger buckets as they're called.
And we will then...
Oh, and this is through October 7th, Monday at midnight.
So everything that you buy from us through this program, buy one, gift one, through Monday, October 7th at midnight, we will then arrange for the donation, either, again, buckets, equivalent buckets, or cash.
If we run out of buckets, we will bring you photographs of our donation, and technically this donation is being made through our new church.
So, you know, we're going to have all the documentation internally for anybody who ever wants to verify what we're doing.
But our commercial operation is donating this to our church, the Church of Natural Abundance.
And this is actually the very first opportunity for the church to help out.
And the church will make these donations and coordinate with proper transport companies to get these into the hands of people there in Asheville, in West Tennessee, in the areas that are affected by these floods.
FEMA doesn't seem to be doing much, and the White House isn't really helping at all.
Trump has shown up there.
I don't think Kamala or Biden, and the corporate media is just ignoring this.
They've abandoned the American people.
Even though we're giving seemingly unlimited money to Ukraine and to Israel to fight more wars, the American people are being forgotten and abandoned by our own government.
And so it comes down to us.
It's we the people.
It's our churches, our ministries, our commercial operations.
We're going to have to help out, and people are helping out by the tens of thousands in any way that we can.
And since this is our infrastructure, we manufacture food, we have long-term storable food, this is what we do, then this is what we're going to contribute.
And with your help, we can contribute many, many pallet loads to the people Yeah, your government has probably forgotten you from the federal level.
Now, state governors, especially DeSantis, is doing a great job in Florida.
Some state governments are doing what they can.
Local governments are doing what they can.
But the federal government has forgotten you.
But we, the people, we have not forgotten you.
We are going to step up here and do our part.
And that's what we're doing.
HealthRangerStore.com slash relief.
Again, every bucket that you buy, we will gift everything.
Either the same bucket or a similar bucket of same value to the people impacted by these storms.
I mean, this is going to be a lot of cash outflow for us.
We don't make anything on this.
There's not 100% markup on this food, trust me.
Not even close to that.
Food markup and food margins are really quite thin compared to many other product categories.
So this is us putting our infrastructure, our inventory, our food, and our wallets You know, on the line to help these people who deserve our help.
They have been abandoned and we have to let them know that you are not forgotten.
We'll step up and help you in any way we can.
And so shop healthrangerstore.com slash relief.
Load up on buckets for yourself.
And we'll send buckets of food, certified organic lab tested food, all these amazing ingredients, we'll send them to those in need.
And then you can be ready for the next tragedy that comes, the next natural disaster, the next flood, the next fire, the next storm, whatever that happens to be.
You can be prepared at the same time.
This is the time to stock up, especially with the longshoremen going on strike.
Supply chains breaking down.
War breaking out in the Middle East.
Even worse now.
Energy prices are going to spike.
Transport prices are going to spike.
Supply chains are breaking down.
As we realize, you know, a storm, a flood, something can just happen just like that.
And there are people there who didn't even have three or four days of food.
They had no water, no food.
They are in a very bad situation.
Some of them are getting desperate. Looting has broken out.
So if you can get yourself squared away with supplies that you need to be more insulated from these natural disasters, then you're going to be more stable.
You're going to be able to help more people around you.
And that's the mission that we are working to help fulfill.
So shop now, healthrangerestore.com slash relief.
Pick up whatever buckets you want for yourself.
We'll ship them to you. And then we'll load up the same number of buckets or equivalent items to ship to the people in need in Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia as well.
So thank you all for your support.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighttown.com and healthrangerstore.com, and we are doing the best we can to help those people in need in this dire situation.
And also check out our church website at abundance.church, because this is actually our first donation activity through our church.
And this is the mission of our church, is to bring emergency food rescue packs to people in need and to help alleviate famine and hunger and to help boost nutrition wherever we can.
So we didn't expect the church to be called on so quickly, and yet, you know, here we are.
So we're doing the best we can.
Thank you for your support.
