=== American Support for Terrorists (05:39) ===

[00:00:00]  Wall Street Journal had an interesting article.
[00:00:03]  American supporters are increasingly open about their allegiance.
[00:00:08]  Hamas and Hezbollah threatened the United States.
[00:00:12]  Public support for terrorist organizations would once have shocked Americans.
[00:00:16]  What a great line!
[00:00:17]  What a great line!
[00:00:19]  So many of us speak about how America has changed.
[00:00:23]  That's a great example.
[00:00:27]  Public support for terrorist organizations would once have shocked Americans.
[00:00:33]  Now, it's common.
[00:00:36]  On social media and college campuses, kafia-clad protesters openly embrace Hamas and Hezbollah, both U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations.
[00:00:49]  Labor Day marchers in New York City waved the Hamas flag even as news broke that the group had executed Israeli and American hostages in Gaza.
[00:00:59]  On September 10th, protesters outside the presidential debate in Philadelphia waved Hamas flags and held a banner stating America is the head of the snake, spelling America with a K as if it's a fascist country.
[00:01:15]  They chanted in support of Hamas' military leader, Yahya Sinwar.
[00:01:21]  Islamist organizations and preachers at extreme mosques openly mourned the death of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau.
[00:01:30]  Haniyeh, a State Department-designated terrorist who helped organize the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, was killed in Tehran on July 31st.
[00:01:40]  Tonight we mourn Ismail himself.
[00:01:45]  But no, his martyrdom is not in vain, tweeted Zahra Bilou, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in San Francisco.
[00:01:55]  That's known as CARE, the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
[00:01:59]  And they're regarded by...
[00:02:03]  All sorts of mainstream liberal organizations as a legitimate spokesman of the Arab-American community.
[00:02:12]  They're a scummy organization who celebrate terror against Jews.
[00:02:17]  That's all they are.
[00:02:19]  That's all they have ever been.
[00:02:21]  The ADL worked with them at a time, and it's...
[00:02:28]  The naivete of liberals, the lack of desire to believe that evil is evil, is, you see, the left supports evil, and the liberals don't support the anti-evil.
[00:02:44]  That's the best way to put it.
[00:02:46]  Isn't that amazing?
[00:02:47]  Here's another one.
[00:02:48]  In a Friday sermon, delivered August 2nd, Sheikh Ismail Hamdi of the Islamic Center of Passaic County, New Jersey, called Hania a great leader.
[00:02:58]  Adding, we are happy for him that he was martyred.
[00:03:01]  What kind of language is that?
[00:03:03]  Do Christians or Jews talk that way?
[00:03:06]  We are happy for him that he was martyred?
[00:03:10]  Happy for him?
[00:03:15]  Well, you know, I told you this probably 20 years ago, that one of the mottos of Hamas is, we love death as much as the Jews love life.
[00:03:25]  They're death lovers.
[00:03:28]  Yeah, parents celebrate when their kids blow themselves up in order to kill Jews.
[00:03:33]  They celebrate, they hand out candy.
[00:03:38]  But the naive liberal wants to believe, oh, we're all the same.
[00:03:46]  We're all the same.
[00:03:48]  I remember at the height of the Cold War when I was in the Soviet Union, I was 21 years old.
[00:03:55]  I was in a Moscow hotel reserved only for Westerners.
[00:03:59]  No Soviet citizen could enter unless they worked there.
[00:04:05]  And I was at breakfast and there was an American couple.
[00:04:09]  And they were telling me as a fellow American, you know, people say that communism is awful, the Soviet Union is evil.
[00:04:17]  We went to the Bolshoi Ballet last night and it's just like home.
[00:04:23]  And I had just met the day before with dissidents, people suffering under this horrific regime in the Soviet Union, and these stupid liberals from America, not leftists, just run-of-the-mill liberals.
[00:04:42]  Oh, people are the same everywhere.
[00:04:46]  I came home.
[00:04:47]  And some woman from a Presbyterian church group and I debated.
[00:04:52]  She was saying she had gone to on a women's mission to the Soviet Union and met with women there.
[00:04:59]  And women there want the same thing.
[00:05:01]  They want to be able to take care of their families just like American women do.
[00:05:06]  Yeah, it's all the same.
[00:05:08]  We're all the same.
[00:05:10]  People don't like to acknowledge evil.
[00:05:15]  Yep.
[00:05:16]  Imam Ra'id al-Sawar of Washington State's Pullman Islamic Center compared Haniyeh to the American revolutionaries of 1776 while calling for the annihilation of, quote, the plundering Zionists.

=== Vigil For Nasrallah (02:01) ===

[00:05:32]  Count them one by one, he said.
[00:05:35]  Scatter them.
[00:05:36]  Do not spare a single one of them.
[00:05:40]  In Dearborn, Michigan, local religious leaders and activists staged the September 29th vigil for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed two days earlier in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
[00:05:54]  Attendees chanted, We heed your call, O Nasrallah, death to Israel, and chaybar, chaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return, a reference to a 7th century slaughter of Jews.
[00:06:09]  In what is now Saudi Arabia.
[00:06:12]  Hezbollah has branded its retaliatory strikes against Israel Operation Chaybar.
[00:06:21]  Okay?
[00:06:22]  That's what we're dealing with, my dear friends.
[00:06:27]  One more thing about that.
[00:06:29]  Did you know that a Yazidi woman was enslaved in Gaza?
[00:06:36]  She was kidnapped at the age of 11 by ISIS and eventually ended up in Gaza, where they kept her.
[00:06:50]  And there are scummy kids all over America on campuses chanting on behalf of Hamas.
[00:06:58]  An 11-year-old Yazidi girl.
[00:07:01]  Remember the Yazidis?
[00:07:02]  It's an ethnic group in Iraq.
[00:07:08]  And they were slaughtered and they were raped.
[00:07:11]  The preview of October 7th.
[00:07:17]  And they found one of them in Gaza.
[00:07:23]  Yeah.
[00:07:24]  The human condition.
