Transcript [00:00] Hey everybody. So, I know the world is [00:03] all still focused on this unbelievably [00:06] miraculous, heroic event that took place [00:08] with the saving of those people on that [00:10] airplane that almost went down. It's [00:12] what everyone's talking about. I've made [00:14] it I've made a video about it yesterday. [00:16] And also, if you didn't catch the [00:18] interview that I did on former mayor of [00:20] New York Rudy Giuliani's show, I posted [00:23] it to this uh channel as well. You don't [00:24] want to miss that interview. It's pretty [00:26] cool. But there's a still a lot of other [00:28] things going on. And this is a video [00:29] that I've been want been meaning to make [00:31] for a little while just to come back to [00:33] a narrative that we've talked about. So [00:35] I want to give you an update on the [00:37] Palestinian elections, the Palestinian [00:39] Authority elections because the last few [00:42] weeks have the last few weeks have [00:44] frankly been a circus. And this hasn't [00:46] really made the top headlines. So you [00:48] might have missed it. And when I say [00:50] circus, we're talking about alliances [00:52] that make no sense. Laws, election laws [00:55] being rewritten right now in the middle [00:56] of the race. uh a sitting American [00:59] congressman who wants to be president uh [01:02] probably calling on Israel to release a [01:04] convicted murderer and kamas trying to [01:06] sneak back into power through the side [01:08] door. So there's a lot in this video. [01:10] Stick with me to the end. All right. A [01:12] few weeks ago I made a video about [01:14] Marwan Bargooduri who is a terrorist [01:18] leader from Fatak. That's uh the ruling [01:20] party in Palestinian Authority. And he's [01:23] a major leader there. and he's serving [01:25] five life sentences for murdering [01:28] Israelis, murdering a number of [01:30] Israelis. And uh I the video I made was [01:33] about the celebrity campaign to free [01:35] him. More than 20 actors from the Marvel [01:37] movies, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark [01:39] Ruffalo, Kate Blanchett, others had just [01:41] signed a letter calling on the UN and [01:44] governments of the world to get him out [01:45] of prison. And I made the point that not [01:47] one of them had read his file or knew [01:49] anything about this. Someone obviously [01:51] handed them a form and they signed it. [01:53] And at the end of that video, I made a [01:55] prediction and I said, "Write it down." [01:58] So, I'm going to actually play you to [02:00] start this video to uh you know, the [02:02] first clip we're going to look at is a [02:04] clip of me from back in August because [02:07] uh whatever, you'll see. Here we go. [02:09] Let's put the whole thing together. We [02:11] have this global campaign to rebrand a [02:13] convicted mass murderer as a persecuted [02:15] Mandela style freedom icon. [02:20] And this campaign has this new wave of [02:24] celebrity names just as Palestinian [02:27] politics is heading into its first [02:29] election cycle in 20 years. [02:34] And that letter comes out in the same [02:36] just a week a couple days before the two [02:38] rival factions are negotiating unity [02:42] that Marwan Burggoodi is positioned to [02:44] lead and has been calling for. [02:48] I mean, maybe this is all a big [02:49] coincidence. [02:52] Look, [02:54] international free the political [02:55] prisoner campaigns are designed to [02:58] manufacture legitimacy. That's why you [03:00] get celebrities to to join. You see, if [03:04] all these bigname celebrities, people [03:06] that that people, you know, that that a [03:09] lot of [03:11] a lot of the population kind of trusts [03:12] and likes and and relates to and sees [03:15] them as mainstream and cool. If they're [03:17] all behind Marwan Bargoodi, it's very [03:20] easy for young people to be behind Maron [03:22] Bargoodi. We're going to see young [03:23] people wearing Maron Bargoodi t-shirts [03:25] and it's going to be a thing. [03:28] And that creates an air of legitimacy, [03:32] right? If you if the world spends a year [03:34] hearing that Bargoodi is a political [03:36] prisoner, [03:38] that reputation becomes the reality. [03:44] And whether or not Israel ever releases [03:45] him, that's an asset. 20 Marvel actors [03:48] just did months of unpaid campaign work [03:52] for a Palestinian election. [03:55] And I'll bet that none of them even [03:56] realize what they did. So, I'm going to [03:59] make a bold prediction. Okay? I'm not I [04:01] don't like making bold predictions. I [04:02] could be wrong, [04:05] but here's what I think is going to [04:06] happen. I think they're going to let him [04:07] run in that 2027 presidential election. [04:11] And I think he's going to win. [04:14] He's going to win by a lot. [04:17] And watch how fast the narrative is [04:19] going to shift because it the narrative [04:22] will no longer be that Marwan Bargoodi [04:26] convicted terrorist is serving five life [04:28] sentences or that he's just this this [04:31] Palestinian guy who's in a prison. No, [04:33] it the narrative will become that the [04:35] elected leader of the Palestinian people [04:38] is sitting in an Israeli prison. [04:41] That's the sentence that this entire [04:43] campaign is leading up to. [04:47] Because [04:49] once the world can say that with a [04:50] straight face, the elected leader, the [04:53] chosen leader, the democratically in a [04:56] free and fair election, the [04:58] democratically elected leader of the [04:59] Palestinian people is sitting in an [05:01] Israeli prison. [05:03] The political prisoner label will be [05:05] ramped up uh more than a few notches. [05:10] Israel's imprisoning the democratically [05:12] elected leader. [05:15] Now, even if I'm wrong on the timeline, [05:17] watch the run-up to the November 28th [05:19] elections. I've talked about them [05:21] already. Bargoodi is going to be cast as [05:24] the great unifier that Fatak and Kamas [05:27] can rally around and it's going to be [05:29] right on schedule and and there's going [05:32] to be this this and that's going to get [05:34] wrapped up in the other narrative that [05:36] I've talked about which is that the [05:38] elections themselves the fact that there [05:40] are Palestinian elections is going to be [05:42] held up as the proof as the evidence [05:45] that Palestinian governance is [05:47] reforming. Look, we have free and fair [05:49] elections. democracy in among the [05:52] Palestinians. That's it's going to be [05:54] it's going to be uh labeled as the [05:56] reform that we've been waiting for. [05:59] Okay. So, that's the prediction that I [06:03] made. [06:04] Now, um just before we get on to the [06:07] next headline, let me just uh let me [06:09] just talk about this a bit. So, that's [06:11] what I said back in August. And then on [06:15] September 11th, so a few weeks ago, [06:19] uh I see this this story and this comes [06:23] from Yoni Benim. He's a very prominent [06:27] uh very well-informed analyst here in [06:29] Israel. Um Yoni Ben, he's a former head [06:32] of the Israel Broadcasting Authorities, [06:33] one of the best sourced Arab affairs [06:35] analysts in the country. And he has [06:37] sources like in Hamas and in the [06:40] Palestinian Authority and in Syria and [06:42] in Lebanon. He talks to them and they [06:43] share information with him. So he's well [06:46] known for that. So he reported [06:49] what senior Fatak officials told him [06:52] about Burggoodi's plan. Burgoodi [06:54] intends. And here's what he wrote here. [06:55] Let's take a look at the at the story. [06:59] Let's take a look at the story right [07:00] here. Senior PA officials say that Fatak [07:03] leader Marwan Berguda Burggoodi who is [07:06] serving five life sentences in an [07:08] Israeli prison and is widely regarded as [07:10] one of the architects of the second [07:11] inifat is planning to run in the [07:13] Palestinian presidential election [07:15] against the current PA chairman Mahmud [07:16] Abbas. Now I'm going to remind you when [07:18] I made that video it was a month before [07:20] this story [07:22] and no one had announced that Maron [07:24] Burgoodi was running and I said that [07:26] remember I said he's going to run and [07:27] he's going to win. So, I was saying that [07:30] a little bit to pat myself on the back, [07:31] but just to lay out for you, this is the [07:32] narrative. Look, listen, when I do this, [07:34] it's not to brag and say, "You see, I [07:36] told you so." It's also to remind you [07:39] watching this channel that if you follow [07:41] this channel and you watch my videos, [07:43] you will be ahead of the game because we [07:45] don't just report on the news, we look [07:47] downrange to see what's coming next. [07:49] Okay, enough patting myself on the back. [07:51] Look what it says here. He's going to [07:52] run. Bargoodi's plan, according to these [07:55] officials, is to run for the presidency [07:56] from inside the Israeli prison, win the [07:59] election, and then exert massive [08:02] international pressure on Israel to [08:03] secure his release. Bingo. As I laid it [08:06] out, Bargoodi believes that the upcoming [08:07] Knesset elections could lead to a change [08:09] of government in Israel and that a new [08:11] government might be more responsive to [08:13] international pressure to release him. [08:17] Interesting. [08:19] So, that is his plan. It's not my theory [08:23] anymore. That's his strategy according [08:24] to his own people. And I'll be honest [08:25] with you about one thing I got wrong [08:27] because it actually makes the story even [08:29] stranger. I said that Fatak and Kamas in [08:32] the video clip that I played for you. My [08:34] prediction was that Fatak and Kamas [08:36] would sit down in Cairo and try to build [08:38] a unity ticket around Burggoodi. But [08:40] that's not what happened. What came out [08:42] of Cairo was a unity ticket of other [08:44] groups against Fatak. [08:48] Okay. Against Fatak. and uh you know and [08:52] they still and they went looking for [08:53] Burggoodi. I'll get to that in a minute. [08:54] We'll get into what happened in Cairo [08:56] because there is this this this ticket [08:58] that's all part of this narrative here. [09:00] So before we go on with that, you have [09:02] to understand that the biggest obstacle [09:04] to Marwan Burggoodi [09:07] becoming president or leading winning [09:10] the election or whatever is not Israel. [09:13] It's actually Mahmud Abbas, the head of [09:14] the Palestinian Authority. You see [09:17] Mahmud Abbas [09:19] here, let me show you a poll. This is [09:21] this is from the Palestinian Center for [09:23] Policy Survey Research. Okay, this is [09:24] the most reliable. It's quite reliable [09:28] uh Palestinian Polling Agency. Every few [09:30] months they come out with a poll. You've [09:31] seen their material if you watch my [09:33] channel. And look at this poll from this [09:35] past August. [09:39] The survey points to continued [09:41] dissatisfaction with the Palestinian [09:42] political leadership but also to a [09:44] significant reshuffleling of political [09:45] preferences. Marwan Burggoodi is the [09:48] strongest political successor to Mahm [09:49] Abbas preferred by 39% followed by Kamas [09:52] leader Khalil Ala at 16% Muhammad Dlan [09:55] at 15% and Mustafa Burggoodi that's [09:58] Bargoodi's cousin Marwan Bargoodi's [10:01] distant cousin at 6%. In a hypothetical [10:04] presidential election, Marwan Bargoodi [10:06] would receive 54% from among likely [10:09] voters. Khalil al- Kay of Kamas 26% [10:12] meaning less than half and Abbas only [10:16] 14%. [10:19] At the same time, 79% want Abbas to [10:21] resign. [10:23] Okay, that that was that's recent [10:25] polling of Palestinians both in Gaza and [10:27] Judea and Samaria. [10:30] So [10:33] the most respected Palestinian pollster [10:36] is saying that Burggoodi is the [10:39] overwhelming preference of the [10:40] Palestinian people and Mahmud Abbas the [10:43] sitting president is at 14%. And he [10:46] comes in third. Now Abbas is 90 years [10:50] old. He doesn't want to hand power to [10:52] Burggoodi. He wants to run again [10:54] himself, believe it or not. or and this [10:56] is the part that tells you everything [10:57] you need to know about how politics [10:58] works in that in the Palestinian [11:00] Authority. Or he wants to hand power to [11:03] his son Yaser. I wonder who he's named [11:05] after. And who already brought uh who he [11:09] already he already brought his son Yaser [11:10] into Fatak's leadership back in May. So [11:13] watch what Abbas has been doing to the [11:15] rules here. Let me show you. in June [11:20] um he [11:23] he started he started working on [11:24] changing the election laws. Okay. He he [11:28] rewrote the election law. Every [11:30] candidate now has to pledge a commitment [11:33] to the PLO and its political program. [11:35] So, if you're a reformer, if you're [11:37] someone in the Palestinian Authority who [11:39] wants a different type of direction, who [11:40] wants a direction that's more peaceful [11:42] with Israel or whatever it is, but you [11:44] don't agree with the PLO political [11:45] program, you cannot run. Now, before I [11:49] show you the next move, I need to [11:50] explain something because most people, [11:52] including most journalists, don't [11:54] understand it. So, this is a little bit [11:55] confusing. Track with me here. There are [11:57] two different Palestinian institutions [12:00] of leadership that we're talking about [12:01] here. There's the Palestinian Authority [12:04] and then there's the PLO. They're not [12:07] the same thing. The Palestinian [12:08] Authority is the thing that was created [12:10] by the Oslo Accords in the 1990s. It's [12:13] an administration. It runs the [12:15] Palestinian cities in Judea and Samaria. [12:17] It pays salaries. It runs the police. It [12:19] runs the schools, the garbage [12:21] collection, whatever. The Palestinian [12:23] Authority, [12:25] this body has a president and a [12:26] legislature. That legislature is called [12:28] the Palestinian Legislative Council. And [12:31] that's what this election this which is [12:34] still scheduled for November 28th so [12:36] far. That's what this election is for. [12:39] And the presidential vote that's [12:40] supposed to take place at some un [12:42] unnamed date next year is for president [12:45] of the Palestinian Authority. So there's [12:47] the legislative council which has its [12:49] own election and then there's an [12:50] election separately for president. [12:53] Okay? And that's all the Palestinian [12:55] Authority. The PLO is something else. [12:58] The PLO is an organization that was [13:00] founded in 1964. By the way, three years [13:03] before Israel controlled a single inch [13:05] of Judea, Samaria, or Gaza. [13:08] I digress. So, the PLO was founded in [13:10] 1964. The PLO claims to represent all [13:14] Palestinians everywhere, not just the [13:15] ones in Judea and Samaria and Gaza, but [13:18] also in the so-called diaspora in [13:20] Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Europe, America. [13:23] And in 1974, the Arab League declared [13:27] that the PLO is the sole legitimate [13:30] representative of the Palestinian [13:31] people. And the United Nations then gave [13:34] it observer status that same year. And [13:37] here's what matters. The PLO is the one [13:40] that holds the keys [13:42] to everything in the Palestinian [13:44] Authority. How so? [13:46] Israel signed the Oslo Accords with the [13:50] PLO, [13:52] not the Palestinian Authority. It wasn't [13:54] created yet. Okay. Negotiations. [13:57] Whenever there are negotiations between [13:58] Israel and the Palestinians, which there [14:00] haven't been in a long time, they happen [14:02] between Israel and the PLO. [14:05] The Palestinian seat at the United [14:07] Nations [14:10] goes through the PLO. The PLO holds that [14:13] seat, not the Palestinian Authority. The [14:15] embassies around the world that are [14:17] Palestine embassies and there are many [14:19] of them or missions are PLO embassies. [14:23] They're run by the PLO. [14:26] The chairman of the PLO is the one who [14:28] calls himself president of the state of [14:30] Palestine. Now, Yaser Arafad held both [14:33] of those jobs, president of the [14:35] Palestinian Authority and chairman of [14:37] the PLO. Mahmud Abbas currently holds [14:41] both jobs as well. So people kind of [14:43] assume that they're one position, but [14:45] they're not. They're two separate [14:47] offices and they're chosen in two [14:49] separate ways. The Palestinian Authority [14:52] president is elected by the voters and [14:55] that's what's supposed to happen in this [14:56] election. Not the election in November [14:58] 28th. That's for the legislature, but [15:00] for president sometime next year. Okay. [15:02] The PLO chairman, I'm sorry, the PA [15:05] president is chosen by the voters, but [15:06] the PLO chairman is chosen by the PLO's [15:10] own [15:12] parliament, you could call it, which is [15:14] called the Palestinian National Council, [15:17] the PNC. [15:18] And that PNC elects an executive [15:21] committee, and that executive committee [15:23] picks a chairman. So think about what [15:25] that means for Bargoodi, anyone who [15:27] would want to challenge Abbas. [15:29] If Bargoodi wins the Palestinian [15:31] Authority presidency in the election, [15:34] but someone else is the head of the PLO, [15:36] so he's basically like the mayor of the [15:39] Palestinian cities in Judea, Samaria and [15:42] Gaza or whatever, he's in charge of the [15:45] salaries and the garbage trucks, but the [15:47] seat at the UN, the negotiating table, [15:49] the embassies, the claim to speak for [15:51] the Palestinian people, all of that [15:53] still stays with whoever controls the [15:55] PLO. And that's the gap that Mahmud [15:58] Abbas now wants to exploit. In July, The [16:02] New Arab reported, that's this uh this [16:05] media outlet. It's very it's very [16:07] anti-Israel, but very it's a reliable [16:09] Arab media outlet. It's based in I think [16:11] it's based in the UK. Anyway, it [16:14] reported that Mahmud Abbas was preparing [16:16] another change to the rules. and the [16:20] rules. This other change he was he wants [16:22] to make is that 68 seats on the [16:26] Palestine Palestinian National Council. [16:28] That's the body that picks the head of [16:29] the PLO. That 68 seats would be chosen [16:34] not by election but by consensus. [16:38] What does consensus mean? It means that [16:40] he'd appoint them. Okay? It means the [16:43] leadership chooses them instead of the [16:45] people choosing them. and only council [16:47] member and and only a council member can [16:50] become [16:52] a PLO chairman. [16:55] So if you can only become a member of [16:57] the council by being appointed by Abbas [17:00] and you can only become the chairman if [17:02] you're a council member, it's easy way [17:04] to lock him out. So even if Barudi wins [17:07] the presidency in the election, Abbas's [17:09] people can keep him out of the job that [17:11] actually matters. And remember the [17:13] sentence [17:14] that that Burgoodi's entire campaign is [17:17] built to produce. Okay, this goes back [17:19] to my prediction. The elected leader of [17:21] the Palestinian people is sitting in an [17:23] Israeli prison. That's that's that's [17:25] what they want to create with this. [17:27] Abbas's plan is to make sure that even [17:29] if Burggoodi wins that the title leader [17:32] of the Palestinian people is not [17:33] Burggoodis. [17:35] Now according to [17:38] according to Yoni Benim [17:41] there's uh there's another change that [17:44] uh that Abbas was making here. Let me go [17:46] back to Ben Manakim's piece [17:49] here. [17:56] Here it's down here [18:00] that he wants to demand [18:03] that you can only hold that you can only [18:06] hold the job of president. Oh, you know, [18:10] I'll just tell you what it says here. I [18:11] can't find the exact quote. According to [18:13] [snorts] [18:14] Abbas, he amended the law so that only [18:15] the head of a political party can run [18:18] for president. Okay, that's what it is. [18:19] that only the head you have to be the [18:22] head of a political party if you want to [18:24] be if you want to be the president. So [18:27] what does that mean? [18:29] You have to be the head of a political [18:30] party. And and Maron Bgoodi is sitting [18:33] in prison. So what political party is he [18:35] the head of? He can't become the he [18:36] can't become the leader of of Fatak. [18:39] That's that's Abbas's party. So what's [18:42] Barudi's answer to this? [18:45] Kadura Faris, a friend of Burggoodis, [18:49] has what's called a shelf party. A shelf [18:51] party is an empty party, meaning it's a [18:53] registered party that he's not doing [18:54] anything with, sitting on a shelf. [18:56] That's why they call it that. So, when [18:58] the presidential race opens, Bargoodi [19:00] will become the leader of this party and [19:02] therefore he can run as president and he [19:04] can be on the ballot. So, to sum up, [19:07] this is what Palestinian democracy looks [19:09] like right now, folks. the incumbent who [19:11] hasn't and they haven't had elections in [19:13] over 20 years. Uh so the incumbent is in [19:16] the 21st year or so of a four-year term. [19:19] The incumbent rewrites the rules to keep [19:21] out the most popular candidate. And the [19:24] most popular candidate is a convicted [19:26] murderer building a fake party from a [19:28] prison cell and and then they're going [19:31] to try to sell this to us as reform. [19:32] Now, here's where it gets really wild. [19:34] On September 23rd, the new Arab reported [19:39] uh this new alliance [19:41] that's taking place that's taking shape [19:43] in Cairo. Okay. Now, who's in this [19:46] alliance? Kamas, Palestinian Islamic [19:49] Jihad, Nasar Alcudwa, who's Yaser [19:52] Arafat's nephew, and Muhammad Daklan. [19:55] Now, if you don't know who Daklan is, [19:57] he's an important guy. He's the former [20:00] Fatak security chief in Gaza, and he [20:02] used to fight Hamas. Remember that whole [20:04] story back in 2006 that they had an [20:07] election, Kamas won, and then Kamas went [20:09] to war with the Palestinian with Fatak [20:11] and they were there was literally a [20:13] civil war going on between Kamas and [20:14] Fatak in Gaza. Kamas were throwing Fatak [20:17] guys off rooftops. It was crazy. And and [20:21] at that point, Daklan fled or was thrown [20:23] out of Gaza. Abbas then threw him out of [20:27] Fatak. He then fled and has been living [20:30] in the UAE for over 15 years. and he's [20:32] an adviser to the ruler of the UAE and [20:36] he's considered one of the people who [20:37] helped push the Abraham Accords. So, [20:38] he's considered a more moderate guy. [20:40] However, this guy now just was in Cairo [20:44] unifying a ticket together with Hamas [20:47] and Islamic Jihad. Islamic Jihad is [20:50] Iran's most loyal proxy in Gaza. [20:54] Okay. And then this Monday, [20:57] Islamic Jihad's deputy leader, this guy [21:00] Muhammad al-Hindi, confirmed all of this [21:03] to the Associated Press. [21:06] Okay, he told this to the Associated [21:08] Press in Istanbul, by the way. Keep that [21:10] in mind. In Istanbul, now at the same [21:13] week, also in Istanbul, a forum of [21:16] Palestinians from 30 different [21:18] countries. [21:20] Let me see if I have this one here. [21:22] No, I don't have this story. All right. [21:24] Doesn't matter. There was a there was a [21:26] forum of Oh, here it is. Let me move [21:29] this over [21:32] here. Look at the story. [21:35] Palestinian Forum in Eastbul calls for [21:37] direct elections to national council. [21:41] So, what's this all about? [21:43] So, this is again a forum of [21:45] Palestinians from 30 countries. They met [21:47] to demand changes to how the PLO picks [21:49] its leaders. Now, Turkey keeps showing [21:52] up as the place where these things [21:53] happen, by the way. But here's the [21:54] detail I want you to catch. So, in the [21:56] the new Arabs, [21:58] the the sources they interviewed said [22:00] that this that the alliance in Cairo was [22:03] holding off on finalizing its list, its [22:05] list for the election campaign and its [22:08] political statement, like what its [22:09] platform is until it got an answer from [22:12] Marwan Barudi. So, let me sum this up if [22:14] you're confused. There was a meeting [22:17] last week, few days ago in Cairo of [22:22] Dlan, [22:23] Yaser Arafat's nephew, Palestinian [22:26] Islamic Jihad, and Kamas deciding that [22:28] they were going to unify together into [22:30] one political list to try to challenge [22:32] Fatak, [22:34] the ruling party, which is really the [22:36] PLO. [22:38] and but they hadn't they didn't want to [22:39] put out officially what their list is [22:41] and officially what their platform is [22:42] until they got an answer of whether or [22:44] not Burgoodi wants to lead their list [22:48] and their source said the source in the [22:50] new who spoke to the new Arab said that [22:52] they they know Burggoodi doesn't want to [22:54] head the list for the legislature [22:55] because if you're running for [22:56] legislature you can't run for president [22:58] so you have to be the head of a party to [23:00] run for president but then you're not on [23:01] the legislature list because you're [23:03] running for president okay so that's so [23:06] that's they need to sort this out before [23:08] they make any further announcements. But [23:09] that was part of this news item. So this [23:12] Hamas Dlan alliance went to Bargoodi. [23:16] Fatak's own leadership is terrified of [23:18] Bargoodi [23:21] because he's so much more popular. And [23:23] meanwhile, Mahmud Abbas is rewriting the [23:26] election laws to try to to try to stop [23:28] Bargoodi from running. Every faction in [23:30] Palestinian politics is organizing [23:32] around this murderer sitting in an [23:34] Israeli prison, which is exactly kind of [23:37] what I told you would happen. And Fatak [23:40] is panicking. Senior Fatak officials, [23:42] including Abbas's own own deputies, want [23:45] the November 28th election postponed, [23:47] just like they've postponed every other [23:49] election. By the way, the reason they [23:50] haven't had elections in 20 years isn't [23:51] because they don't officially have to [23:52] have them. It's that they just always, [23:54] every single time it comes up, they just [23:55] say it's postponed. It's really, it's [23:57] just comical. And now Abbas's deputies [24:00] are saying, "Oh my gosh, we're going to [24:01] get destroyed because Mahmud Abbas is [24:03] polling at 14%. Fatak is very unpopular. [24:06] There's this new alliance getting [24:07] together. They're bringing in Marwan [24:09] Burggoodi, who's the most the most [24:11] popular political figure. [24:13] They want to postpone the elections [24:14] because they're afraid of a repeat of [24:16] 2006 when Kamas overwhelmingly won." [24:20] So one Palestinian analyst told the New [24:22] Arab that every poll, including Fatak's [24:25] own polls, say that Fatak will lose this [24:27] next election. [24:29] And I got to tell you, the world's going [24:30] to freak out. They're not going to know [24:31] what to do with themselves because [24:32] according to the world's official [24:33] narrative, and it's just all nonsense, [24:35] but it's still the official narrative of [24:37] the world that it's part, it's the game [24:38] they play, is that Fatak Mahmud Abbas, [24:41] the Palestinian Authority, that faction [24:43] are the moderates who we can deal with. [24:45] What are they going to do when when a [24:47] kamas Palestinian Islamic Jihad [24:50] terrorist list wins the next election? [24:54] So now what's happening is that Abbas is [24:56] calling for national dialogue in Cairo. [24:59] He wants there to be he wants there to [25:00] be national dialogue, [25:03] right? That's what he wants. He wants [25:04] there to be national dialogue so that we [25:07] can all get together. [25:09] Um and FatF sources say that that that [25:11] would give him cover to delay the [25:13] election with the other factions [25:15] blessing. That's what he's hoping for. [25:17] Uh meanwhile, he just extended the [25:19] deadline for submitting candidate lists. [25:22] uh whatever he's the delay tactics are [25:25] already starting now. All of this brings [25:27] us to none other than Congressman Ro [25:31] Kana last Friday, September 25th. Ro [25:36] Kana posted a video on X calling on [25:39] Israel to release Marwan Bargoodi. Now, [25:43] I want to show you that uh it's very [25:44] short, just like a minute and a half. [25:47] But before we get to that, I just want [25:49] to remind you we have an very exciting [25:50] trip coming up March 7th through 14th. [25:54] 8-day trip in Israel hosted by myself [25:56] and Dr. David Worms. U Israel behind the [25:59] headlines. We will have private meetings [26:00] at the Knesset, briefings with high [26:02] level people, uh it on the Syrian [26:04] Lebanese borders, uh lunch with the [26:06] leaders of the Samaria and the Golan [26:08] communities and more and meeting with [26:11] journalists. It's going to be an amazing [26:13] trip. uh very exclusive five-star [26:16] accommodations uh 8-day trip and uh if [26:20] it's for you, you want to check that [26:21] out, the link is in the description of [26:23] this video. Okay, so let's go to the [26:24] Roana video. This is Roana. [26:27] Um this is Roana what he posted on X uh [26:32] last Friday. [26:34] Today I'm calling for the release of [26:35] Marwan Bargoodi from Israeli prison. [26:38] Palestinians must choose their own [26:41] leaders. Bargoodi has a unique standing [26:44] among all Palestinian factions. He's [26:47] seen as non-corrupt, a strong leader, [26:49] and secular. Bargooduri could deliver a [26:52] Palestinian state living in peace with [26:54] Israel. Several prominent Israelis, [26:57] including former directors of Shinbet [26:59] and Mossad, have called for his release, [27:02] as has the leader of the IDF team that [27:05] apprehended him. Releasing Bargoodi does [27:08] not provide him with a pardon or moral [27:11] absolution of crimes he may have [27:13] committed. In fact, a number of human [27:15] rights groups say he did not even [27:17] receive a fair trial. But the release is [27:20] needed to move peace forward. Just like [27:23] Arafat and Rabine worked for peace [27:26] despite their pasts, [27:28] the inter Irish Republic army, the IRA [27:31] did terrible things in its war against [27:33] British and Protestant domination. But [27:36] when the IRA said they had a vision of [27:38] equality and coexistence, letting them [27:41] participate in politics was the right [27:44] decision. Vargoodi has said exactly that [27:47] repeatedly. If we're lucky enough to [27:50] have a just peace in Israel Palestine, [27:52] we will need a truth and reconciliation [27:55] commission. But for now, we must begin [27:58] to give Palestinians a voice in their [28:00] sovereignty and the peace process. [28:03] Release Baroodi. [28:06] Today I'm calling Oh, sorry. All right. [28:09] So, he's a fool. That's clear. [28:13] Uh obviously, [28:16] uh obviously he's a fool. [28:18] Um now, first of all, like if just cuz a [28:22] former head of Israeli security services [28:24] or a former general says to release him, [28:26] look, the most left-wing woke people in [28:28] this country are these former generals [28:31] and former heads of the security [28:32] establishment. That's like the Israeli [28:33] left-wing deep state. So, I'm unmoved. [28:36] Anyway, he calls him a non-corrupt. This [28:38] guy's serving five murder uh sentences [28:41] and a strong leader and secular. He [28:43] calls him secular. The guy's I mean, [28:45] what is he's going to unify with Hamas [28:46] and Palestinian Islamic jihad and be a [28:50] secular leader? Okay, whatever. Um, [28:53] and anyway, secular terrorism. The Al [28:55] Axa Martyrs Brigades say that they're [28:57] secular. Okay, [laughter] [29:00] so secular terrorism is still terrorism. [29:02] Anyway, the o the the only coalition in [29:05] Palestinian politics that has actually [29:06] gone looking for Burggoodi is the one [29:09] with Kamas and Islamic Jihad, right? [29:11] That's what we're talking about here. [29:13] And and Kana also compares it to [29:14] Northern Ireland, bringing in bringing [29:16] the IRA into politics. But the IRA [29:19] declared its armed campaign over. That's [29:21] that was the precondition for them [29:23] joining the politics. They said, "We're [29:25] done." They put its weapons beyond use. [29:27] Barudi's never renounced armed struggle. [29:30] That's not Northern Ireland. That's the [29:31] opposite of Northern Ireland. Now, why [29:34] is Roana doing this? [29:36] So, I I think he's he's been pretty open [29:39] that he's considering running for [29:40] president in 2028. And in today's [29:42] Democratic party, the energy is with the [29:44] pro Palestine wing. And I think he just [29:46] wants to be their guy because this isn't [29:48] his first move. Remember what he did in [29:50] July? He went on that three-day tour of [29:52] Judea and Samaria, of the West Bank, [29:54] right? He went on that three-day tour [29:57] and um and it was just, you know, it was [30:00] just a a complete clown show out there [30:02] what he was doing, right? [30:07] US Democrat Roana detained by Israeli [30:09] settlers during a West Bank visit. Oo, [30:11] do you remember this? He he chose to go [30:14] only to Judea and Samaria to the West [30:16] Bank with programming run by the [30:18] Palestinians. He did not coordinate at [30:20] all or meet with Israeli officials. He [30:22] didn't coordinate with the Israeli army. [30:24] And then he went into Kirbet Zanuta. [30:27] Okay. His guide brought him into a [30:29] closed military zone [30:32] which he did not coordinate. So he got [30:34] stopped by the Israeli military because [30:36] you just you're going into a closed [30:38] military zone. And when he was stopped [30:40] by them, he went on social media with a [30:42] story about being detained by settlers. [30:45] And the IDF said they didn't detain [30:47] anybody. They they stopped him because [30:49] he was entering into a closed military [30:50] zone. And then he did a whole bunch of [30:52] interviews about it and he said it was [30:54] the first time he would been acutely [30:55] aware of being brown. Never mind that a [30:58] lot of Israelis are brown as brown as [31:00] Roana. A lot it's ridiculous. Now the [31:05] whole trip was built to produce that [31:07] story. Skip the Israelis, walk into a [31:09] closed military zone, film the contra [31:11] the confrontation, go viral as the as [31:14] the congressman who's with the Palestine [31:15] cause and then and look at the sequence, [31:18] right? We have the July trip to the West [31:20] Bank, [31:22] right? He's seen the occupation up [31:24] close. And then a few months later, he's [31:26] calling for Bargoodi's release two [31:28] months before a Palestinian election. [31:33] Right. And the same week that the Kamas [31:35] Daklan Palestinian Islamic Jihad [31:37] Alliance in Cairo is waiting for [31:39] Bargoodi's answer about whether or not [31:42] he'll lead their party. [31:45] So, last time in August, it was Marvel [31:47] actors signing a form letter. Now, it's [31:49] a member of Congress, [31:51] a possible presidential candidate. The [31:54] campaign that I described in August, [31:56] rebrand a murderer as a as a freedom [31:59] fighter, as a political prisoner, build [32:01] up his legitimacy, make his release into [32:03] an international cause. It just got its [32:06] first congressman on board, and I [32:08] promise you, he won't be the last. Now, [32:10] let's talk about the most important [32:11] question in all of this. Can Hamas [32:13] actually run in this election? Is it [32:16] even legal? That's a question that we [32:18] have to answer because [32:21] I mean legal in the sense that like will [32:23] will Israel even uh go for it? [32:27] Will Israel allow it [32:30] here? [32:32] Trump's 20point Gaza plan. Remember [32:34] this? Well, that's what Israel agreed to [32:38] for Gaza. And they're talking about [32:40] these election. These elections are 100% [32:42] going to be for Judea and Samaria and [32:44] Gaza together. And what does uh clause [32:46] 13 say? Kamas and other factions agree [32:49] to not have any role in the governance [32:51] of Gaza directly, indirectly or in any [32:55] form. [32:57] Huh. [33:00] So [33:02] in August, a senior kamas official, [33:04] Husam Badron, announced the kamas would [33:06] be taking part of the elections [33:10] as part of a coalition. But here's the [33:12] trick that [33:15] the [33:17] this list is not going to officially [33:19] include include kamas. It's just going [33:21] to have kamas members in it. That's the [33:24] game that they're going to play. [33:26] Right? So point 13 says that they're not [33:28] allowed to have any role in the [33:30] governance of Gaza directly, indirectly, [33:32] or in any form. [33:35] Whoever wrote that sentence knew that [33:37] they were going to try to be indirectly [33:39] involved. So a list of independents [33:41] backed by Hamas, [33:43] I mean, they're meeting in Cairo. Hamas [33:46] is part of the meeting. Hamas says that [33:48] they're going to be involved in the [33:49] elections. [33:50] So someone will say, well, point 13 is [33:52] about Gaza that, you know, this is the [33:53] Palestinian legislature. Fine. Read [33:56] point nine. Point n says that the [33:58] Palestinian Authority takes back control [34:00] of Gaza once it completes its full [34:02] reforms. So the Palestinian Authority is [34:05] going to be the future government of [34:07] Gaza according to this plan after [34:09] they're reformed. That's the whole game. [34:11] If Kamas helps elect that government's [34:14] legislature, if Kamas is if Kamas will [34:17] be part of that government, at least [34:19] indirectly, possibly directly, which is [34:21] precisely what 13 forbids, and that's [34:23] what Israel agreed to. [34:28] Okay. And it's not just about the [34:30] ballot. Fatak sources told the new Arab [34:32] that Abbas is showing flexibility about [34:34] giving Kamas seats on the PLO central [34:37] council if kamas walks away from from [34:40] Dlan. [34:41] So they're trying to bribe Kamas to get [34:43] away from Dlan and offering them seats [34:45] in the Palestinian central in the PLO [34:47] central council. That also gives kamas a [34:49] way back in to governance and [34:51] leadership. [34:54] Right. Everyone's negotiating about how [34:56] big Kamas's role should be. No one's [34:59] saying there should be no role except [35:01] what Israel agreed to. And one [35:04] Palestinian analyst even told the New [35:06] Arab that there were understandings that [35:07] kamas would give up power and disarm in [35:09] exchange for being allowed to [35:11] participate indirectly. I don't know if [35:14] that's true, but whatever. [35:17] You remember my story about how they're [35:19] going to they're going to market this [35:20] all as reform? [35:23] That the second half of my prediction [35:24] that holding these elections would be [35:26] sold to us as proof of Palestinian [35:28] reforms. [35:31] Hold the vote. Point to the ballot box. [35:33] Look, we're reforming. We have free and [35:34] fair elections. But look who's on the [35:36] But look who's on the ballot. A [35:39] convicted murderer. [35:41] Five murders running for running from a [35:43] prison cell. A kamasbacked list. a [35:46] 90-year-old president rewriting the [35:48] rules to protect his son. Okay, this is [35:51] not exactly reforming the corruption. [35:54] So, here's where we are. Let me sum up [35:56] and end this video. My prediction is on [35:57] track. Bargoodi is running for [35:59] president. His own people say so. Every [36:01] faction is organizing around him or [36:03] against him. And the free Bargoodi [36:05] campaign is ramping up and just got its, [36:08] you know, it's graduated from Hollywood [36:10] to Capitol Hill. Let's say the election [36:12] might get postponed. Abbas has done it [36:14] before in 2021. He postponed it when it [36:17] looked like Fatak would lose. But the [36:19] narrative is already being built. Uh [36:23] and you know this Bargoodi as peacemaker [36:26] is going to be the big narrative. So the [36:28] question for America is simple. The [36:29] president of the United States wrote it [36:31] down in black and white in the 20point [36:33] plan. No role for Hamas directly, [36:35] indirectly or in any form. Are we [36:38] committed to that or is that is that a [36:40] sentence that just gets ignored? will be [36:42] watching and I will keep you posted. All [36:45] right, thanks for watching. I know this [36:47] was a little bit long, but I think it [36:48] was an important video. So, thanks for [36:50] watching. Please share, like, subscribe, [36:52] all that great stuff. God bless.
