Betar Tar Binks exposes Beitar’s shadowy U.S. political ties, from They Must Go—a manifesto advocating ethnic cleansing—to its alleged role in supplying student names to the Trump administration for arrests, bypassing terror agency oversight via Ramzi Toubassi’s memo. Links to Canary Mission, traced by The Forward to Israeli settlers and Stephen Miller allies, suggest coordinated efforts targeting students months before their detentions, blurring lines between far-right activism and high-level policy influence.

It's it's just it's I think what's so crazy to me is because like again, like I kind of coming back to the Kahanism, it's like this is like if a guy is in like you know the Nazi party of Germany and comes over here and it's like, yeah, like I love the mayor, like we're gonna bring nightlife back to New York City and like still sort of like and it's like it's almost one-to-one because like there is this sort of cult of violence around this group that is like inseparable from what Kahanists believe.
I mean, his big book is They Must Go.
And I've read part of it.
And it's it's pretty explicit in like what it aims for, which is just like ethnic cleansing and who gives a fuck about the casualties there.
But they all, there's also kind of like explicit, we don't care about American ideals, which is kind of a crazy thing.
And I mean, would we tolerate that if it was another foreign country?
That is just kind of crazy, right?
Like if these things are in conflict now, where if being pro-constitutional rights or civil liberties is now in conflict with your aims, like, is it problematic that you're this enmeshed in congressional-level American politics?
It's crazy.
It's federal level.
Yeah.
I mean, because like, so that's the other thing with Beitar, right?
That they've taken credit for supplying student names to the Trump administration.
The students who are being, you know, jailed.
And a lot of people, when this happened, I was kind of pointing out that, you know, these people, some of the people who were arrested were Beitar had been the first to name them months ago.
And they were like, oh, Beitar is just taking credit.
They're just kooks.
They don't have a line in to anyone in the Trump administration.
They're just taking credit, blowing themselves up.
And I was like, I don't think so, because they actually do.
And so I was kind of curious who their connection was.
How are they, you know, because when you read the reporting about this stuff, it's happening above like State Department level.
So Ramizo Azturk, they prepared a memo saying, no, we couldn't find any links to terror.
And so they, it's happening above like agency level.
It's going like, it's really going like over the top.
Like someone is really just like handing these names to Marco Rubio, it seems like.
And there's been reporting that, so I don't know how much you know about Canary Mission and who's kind of who there's like a foundation in Israel.
We've covered them a bit on the show because we did some episodes about the lobby, like that documentary, but it's been a really long time.
Yeah.
Well, so there's been a really good reporting.
There was a reporter for the Forward.
There was, they did a lot of work.
This is years ago when Canary Mission was first kind of naming people who had trouble at the border in Israel.
And that was when they were in the news, 2018, 2019.
But these reporters were able to track down a nonprofit that was running Canary Mission in Israel and find some of the people and talk to them and go there.
And they went there and there were people that were connected to settler movement.
They were connected to Ron Terosian too.
There's crossover there.
How so?
I'll explain.
They were part of some of the same settler groups of nonprofits.
Yeah, okay, because Terosian went over there in, I think, the 90s to be part of the Jerusalem settlement movement.
Yeah, and there's Aisha Torah.
They were like the Canary Mission guys were there.
Ron was there.
Some of these other groups, like Honest Reporting, that did this early kind of.
But anyway, one of the guys on the board that ran Canary Mission always talked about his good friendship with Stephen Miller.
And again, people didn't know if he was bluffing.
But I've also found out that Beitar goes right to Stephen Miller.
So this would explain how these names that, because they're very random names, why these students.
Right.
Why one person who signed an op-ed that with four people that was set, you know, said basically.
And the only thing we find is that they were targeted and named by Beitar and Canary Mission for many months before they were arrested.
And Beitar and Canary Mission both, you know, there's evidence and reporting that they go right to Stephen Miller and maybe others.
