Wol Zone Media. There are certain things that we have a strong held belief unless you actually went through it, you really not only can you not understand, you shouldn't even speak on it. I believe that there are certain things that, yeah, that's really true, Like you really can't
understand the depths of something. An example would be as one of the I think only parent that I can think of within the cool Zone media family obviously not in our all West coastle because like Miles and Jack are parents.
So they would know. There are certain things that like the death of a child.
Look, dude, like no one really understands the depth of that.
I know it's super dark to open.
This with, but that's real, like unless you've been through this, Like it's almost like, I mean, I appreciate your sympathy, but you honestly you really can't understand the depths of pain unless you've also lost a child.
I'm with that. Other things like like the death of a parent, like.
If you lost a parent, you know, even if you lost a parent young, if you've buried a friend, I think death is the theme here, Like if you've buried a friend as a child, like you buried someone your age you know, that's like one of those things that just kind of comes with the era that we were from I'm from and the location I was at.
Like, you know, a lot of.
Us experienced burying friends, some more than others depending on like how involved in that life you were. And then there were still others who you know didn't necessarily go through that, but you understand pain like it's in some it This rule isn't hard and fast. There are times that like, look, dude, I don't have to jump off a cliff to know it'll kill me.
You know what I'm saying.
Unless you've dropped falling off a cliff killed yourself, you don't know what it's like. Like, Okay, gee, I know there are logical things. I don't have to experience that to know that it sucks. I can see and call like they say, a spade a spade, but there adds even more weight to something if I have gone through it, Like you could shut You could shut down most people, justifiably or in other times just to excuse your own actions.
You could shut down other people by saying, well you didn't you ain't really go through this, You didn't live our life. You don't know you don't know we're going through. And in some senses that's true. No one can actually know what somebody else is going through because we're.
All different people.
As similar as the human experience is, you know, there are differences because we're unique individuals, which is what makes the human experience beautiful.
But when you're using that as just like an excuse to be like.
You can't be held accountable because well, you ain't know what you was talking about because you haven't gone through what we're gone through.
You may experience what we experience.
I believe that that's pretty easy to spot. You do want to be held accountable, But when it does hold weight, you can honestly say you wasn't outside for this whole series of things about Israel, Palestine, Gaza is I was ultimately talking to basically the American hot taste. That was the idea, like you like y'all, wasn't y'all ain't go through really for real, for real, what the people involved have has gone through. America hasn't never had an actual modern war as we know it on our soils. No
one's ever attacked us short of Pearl Harbor. And that was like, was it like that was an attack. Yeah, but like on a base, I'm not minimizing it. But I'm like, ain't nobody invaded Saint Louis, You feel me. We ain't gone through what really most of the world has gone through, invading forces and wars in their streets. We've had our own wars. We've had the Civil War, of course, you know that was but we shot at
our salves for that one. But I feel like in a lot of ways, Israel and Palestine could look at American be like, look, you wasn't outside. So while me, as a black man in America finds it very easy to relate to the citizens of Palestine, to relate to the citizens of Gaza, because I know what it means to be a second class citizen now, not to their extent, because I wasn't born in the eighteen hundreds, which is
what it might have been like then. Also, I'm not a native American, Like if I was an indigenous person, I could really look at Israel.
And be like, nah, I do know what it's like. I was outside.
But generally when it comes to calls for humanitarian pause and cease fire, again, I don't have to jump off a cliff to know that it'll kill me. The eye test, the smell test would be like y'all tripping, But will that stand up in the court of law? And well, y'all even listen to me by saying yo that y'all look like y'all wild, and they could be like you
wasn't outside. You don't know what it's like. We say, well, gang life all the time, Like when people always been like, well, you know, why didn't you say that about all the death, all the murders of Chicago. You wasn't there first of all? You don't you know, you're dismissing all of the efforts Chicago has made. You know, I'm saying all this because I'm setting up something. You know, you're missing all dismissing all the efforts Chicago has made to curb their violence.
Number one. Number two, you're dismissing the systemic issues that even causes inner city turmoil, allocation of resources and just the purposeful segregation all that, Like you're just you're ignoring all that. You're also being a hypocrite by not acknowledging the ratchetness that comes from early America and in all of our poor communities.
There's ratchetness everywhere.
You wasn't outside and O bb net and Yahoo even saying that to the whole world. Nigga, y'all wasn't there. You ain't go through no damn holocaust. You don't know we been through. You wasn't attack like we was attacked? How to hell is we the terrorists? Like I don't understand that's what That's what y'all was saying, like, how are we the terrorists? We're the victims here? What is
y'all talking about? You wasn't outside? And then one chocolate Nando's chicken fingers, Shaka Zulu nation housing me Bruce hand raised up from the back. Of course, I hand said, uh, pru, we were South Africa said we was outside and this is a genocide. Hood Politics, y'all h politics from all right, y'all, welcome, welcome, welcome, another episode of Hood Politics season three. This is another uh you wasn't outside episode. Clearly because of that rambling,
Intro South Africa begged different. South Africa was like, listen, we'd haven't been through this, and we know what it looked like, we know what it is and we know what you're doing, and we got something to say and they said it. Now, by the time y'all hear this, this is a little bit of a old news because of how fast the news cycle goes. But some of y'all may wonder, like does it even matter? And that's kind of what I want to get to who the International Court of Justice is, why this again?
Why this matters? And what they actually said, because there was.
Some amazing, amazing clips that came through, one of which was Israel defending themselves and a young lady was like, I hear you guys bringing up the Holocaust and the genocide? How dare you bring up that genocide to talk about this one? And kept going and in the whole room rolled. My daughter showed me this and she was like, this says Freudian slip. What does Freudian slip mean?
Baby?
It means that that's exactly what a Forredian slip means. If you don't know, which I feel like y'all should know, But a Freudian slip is essentially when you your slip of the tongue. The thing that you said on accident was actually what you really mean, what you really think. So when she said, how dare you call just use that genocide. To describe this one, it's as if you're admitting this one is a genocide.
And that's the whole argument.
So what's going on in the court, what has to be proven, and what does Israel have to do if they're found guilty of whatever's being charged of them? Right, we'll get into the minutia, what it all means, how they defended themselves, and go through all that, But first, a little tea again said I'm so far ahead of you you got y'alls may have already discussed this, but y'all see, there was some sort of teaser about a
new jay Z record. It was like it said jay Z twenty twenty four album, and then it was like as if it's like a photo of some sort of.
Video that they're preparing for.
And then rock Nation retweeted reext I don't know that post and was like, that's news to us.
I'll mean, I don't know. I would be excited.
Now, granted that's because I'm an elder millennial, y know, said I would be excited to hear another jay Z album, But y'all probably don't care, Like, but that's exciting to me anyway.
That's my tea right now.
Yeah, there was a time in hip hop, in rap music, and I think it just in the culture as a whole. And I know the eighty five South Dudes they talked about it in Day podcast too, where we just kind of believed that getting ahead, which is oral sex. You know, let me try not to be too crude, but like oral sex didn't necessarily count as cheating as a common comments got a lyric, might have got a little head,
but it wasn't really cheating. That that's not I mean, that's like, that's not cheating, Like it doesn't really count. Like how Hong Kong is like China not China. Like it's like are you China or not? You're China not China. If you come from purity culture, Look you can still be a virgin.
You can still tell your father did the youth group They're like, no, I'm still a virgin, like because it's just oral.
Or you know the Mormon thing with the King, I shouldn't laugh at him, but what's soaking is you know in the Mormon situation with the young things is basically you put it in, but if you don't pump, then it don't count. So you got to get the homeboy to jump on the bed to make the bed shake so that you could pump, so he do the pump before you.
That way, it don't count. We ain't really had no.
Oh lord, we are sexual beings, and just if we were just understand that about ourselves, it.
Don't really count. It's not like it not like.
Cheating, cheating, Like it's just a little head you know, like I didn't I mean, I ain't cuddle, like if we was cutting, like we was out here spooning, then yeah, bam you like no, like And what makes that even more absurd is the fact that and this is the part that was on eighty five South, that's the one thing you just hope if your girl.
Cheats on you.
You hear me using these terms, just like all you want to know is like, okay, but did you did you suck you?
Did you give him here?
Like did you and if like if the answer is yes, it just feels like it's so stupid. It's it's because misogyny abounds. It feels like such the greatest betrayal. Like you okay, listen, I just like, damn man, you just like it's the worst, Like it's it's absurd.
And it's a double standard and it doesn't make sense.
But it just feels like that's even worse, right, which is absurd because if if you as a man, I'm talking cisgendered relationships obviously, but this is the way that hip hop felt like if I just got some bead as different, but if you gave somebody it me, then that's actual cheating.
Anyway.
On a slightly related note, and I shouldn't even break this what up, but me and the die I refer to her as her prefix. My wife was walking around in the thought crossed my mind as we was going to this birthday party with one of her friends who's.
A queer couple that.
I was like, Man, if disaster ever hit and you were to leave me, I would prefer it would be.
For like a woman.
I'm just like, because I can't compete, Like if you leave me as like, oh well, there was nothing, there was nothing I could do that, it just feels like it wasn't necessarily my defeat. But it's like if she leave me for like another black man, then I'm like, I've been bested, Like I lost, I played the game and I lost.
I don't it's absurd.
I know it's absurd, but I just feel like I could put an asterisk next to a failed marriage if it just turns out she was really a lesbian. It's stupid, okay, but so is thinking that a little bit of head don't count. You're arguing that these things, that one of these counts any other does it. But when you get into a court of law, you have to define your terms.
We have to define what is cheating and what is not cheating, not just what felt like cheating, because one could argue that flirting if you flirted, like if you you know the feelings of butterflies, like, okay, yeah, but I didn't.
I didn't smash, I didn't kiss her, I didn't this.
You know, I think that those things that lead into those other things are things you got to think about.
Like if you in a.
Sort of monogamous, committed relationship, you have to think about those things. Sometimes you might slip and slides into flirting, but once you catch yourself, you gotta be like, yo, damn, I'm really liking this other person's attention right now. I really need to think about that now. If y'all gotta now listen, if y'all got an understanding. Don't get me wrong, Like, if you and your partner got an understanding, then ignore everything I'm saying. But if y'all ain't got another, if
your understanding is yo, it's me and you forever. You really need to think about what you mean when you say cheating. I mean I know I've accidentally flirted, meaning that wasn't my intent. I wasn't intending on and but once it slid into it, it was like, oh, I might be tripping right now.
Now.
If you can prove my intent, it's a different story. You could be like, nah, nigga, you know what you're doing. You know, but or you could be or I could defend and be like, no, you don't know that. You don't know what like it may not have been like that, I don't know. You gotta take it to court. You can also say, well, nigga, you failed to stop it.
Maybe I did. You got to prove it.
But what you can't say is anything actually happened unless it did, but it didn't amen now in.
The court of law.
The same apparently applies to genocide. We have to define our terms and we have to prove intent. The best way to explain Israel's position is I might have got a little head, but that ain't really cheating. And besides, aren't I allowed every once in a while to enjoy some head? And maybe I'm the victim here because y'all don't know how crazy my girl be this day argument.
Now, let's get it too specific.
So first of all, location a case was brought by South Africa, the nation of South Africa to the Nation of Israel, country to country. Who knew countries could do that to each other, Well, they could do that in what's called the International Court of Justice, which takes place
in the Hague, right, which is a city in Europe. Anyway, What is it, Well, it's a wing of the UN, the United Nations, which is what, well, a baby that came out of first from the League of Nations because of World War One and then after that evolved into the UN after World War Two. Essentially, it's where the people of the planet, the governments of the planet, stopped kidding themselves and stopped acting like we wasn't on one planet, that our borders ain't made of. Humans can travel across
land and sea and now in the air. So the idea that we get to be sovereign, autonomous entities that have no relation to each other or can't be held accountable by the rest of the world is absurd.
We're all on one planet. Borders are made up.
You can't just wipe out people, so like, if you're bugging, we need to be able to call you the task essentially, thank you Nazis, thank you Jeremy. It was like, what like the hard part about the hard part about the Holocaust, which is going to play in a little later, is it was carried out by the government, which would mean that their actions aren't necessarily illegal. Because what jurisdiction does any country have over any other country.
Countries make their own laws.
So if I decided in my little world that what I'm doing is legal, what court can you bring me to?
Which brings the idea of the international tribunal.
If somebody gets to say, well, yo, we gotta hold you accountable somehow, you can't just be like, you.
Can't just do what the fuck you like, this is absurd.
It was a situation that none of us before this never thought about how having to deal with because unless a nation attacks another nation, I can't give you the business for what you do within your own house, right, your house, your rules. What happens in your house is your business. But if what happens in your house affects this whole block, like, don't the block get a say, right, don't we get to say like you can just sell crack out your house because of what you're doing to the rest of us?
Does that make sense?
So the world had to figure out a way of like I gotta at least like, I mean, can we I could at least say something right. Now, here's where it gets super absurd is you can ignore them. We're gonna send a country to jail, Like how do you, like, what do you how do you.
How do you enforce it is? Or got to go to jail? Like what does that mean? Well, what it means is the like sanctions and crippling their ability to succeed.
And then you get blacklisted and you get you know what I'm saying, yo, hood.
Pass is revoked.
Like there's things you could do, but ultimately there has to be a way to hold you accountable for your actions. Now that means that this is not the criminal court, international criminal court, which would be more about like the Nazi soldiers. That's a that's a criminal court to where you could put a person in jail.
I don't want to conflate the too.
I know it sounded like a little confusing earlier, but like, don't conflate the to this is like I said, a nation is talking to another nation.
Being like this and bullshit. You can't do this.
Now. This has happened before. The Yugoslavian War early nineties. You have Gambia bringing case against me or mar In the idea of like failing to prevent genocide. Right, so this has happened before, right, Ukraine, talk about Russia. That's a recent one. And this one gets real tricky. They saying, you're accusing us of genocide in the Dawn, Boss, which is a reason for y'all to start invading us. And I'm like, nigga, that's no, that's a foul, that's a violation.
You can't just accuse us of something as a justification for you to do the shit you're doing. You're hope saying like, if you know did the action you're finna do is finna cause a genocide? You should have stopped the shit part of the case low too, So this has happened before, right, This isn't the first time a nation has called another nation to the carpet and been like, hey, nigga, what is it? What y'all can't y'all can't be doing
all that. So so South Africa called Powell. They said, wait, back it up, up, easy, back it up.
Listen, that's a genocide.
But that's not necessarily what they took him the court for, or took the task for.
Was was this a genocide or not?
So let's step back for a second and define what do we mean by genocide. Now, of course, part of this is frustrating because you're like, it mean exactly what.
We think it mean? Like, I really gotta to find it. Well you do.
So I've listened to a few podcasts, read a bunch of things, did all the research I needed to do to be able to say this as succinctly as possible.
What is a genocide? Right? Because that's what you got to prove here.
When I say, hey, this is a genocide, whoever you calling you on it is like, well, we got to prove it. And now again the smell test is real easy in the sense that I'm like, these are acts of atrocity. You're forcibly removing a people group committing heinous
acts towards women, towards children. Like what we're looking at is twenty three there eight thousand people did or like, what is you saying you have to be like forcibly removing people like a particular people group, women, children, causing almost irrevocable harm to them. Now the second part of this, to be able to call this a genocide, it a little harder to prove, and that you have to prove intent. I am trying to either wipe this particular people group
out in whole or in part, like this is the purpose. Now, that's like intent is always hard to prove. Now, where we got these definitions from, ironically, was the Holocaust, which I mean that's where the Turk came from, and then was applied to the Armenian genocide.
Armenian such a church boy Armenian.
Genocide, which for some reason America just acknowledged, right, Which again, but the acknowledgement has a lot to do again with these definitions, right, So what do you mean when you say genocide? Might have got a little head, but it wasn't really cheating, So you have to prove intent. I guess what I was trying to do, of course, with the Holocaust. I mean, nigga, that's what they say it. They're vermin, they're animals, they're a scourge in our culture.
There's nobody innocent. If you part of that group, you gotta go. I mean, that's that is where we got the definition, like the Holocaust defined it. And obviously the obvious weird sense of irony is like how God, how are Israel on this side of the table now, like you of all people should understand you know so, then the next question is how do you prove intent? Well, the only way to prove intent is by what you said, right, which is why we always tell our kids, Look, say
what you mean. You gotta stand on business right. If you said it, you gotta then it better be what you mean you better be. If you ain't mean it, don't say it. If you ain't mean it, If you ain't mean that, you shouldn't have opened your mouth, because I get to hold you accountable for what you said. Or don't move walk nigga, that's what you said a lot of times people be trying to show off for the hommies. They talk crazy. You talk crazy around your friends.
And now look if you black as hell. Yo, Mama to warned you a few times. Listen, I ain't want your little friends, or you might be out there talking crazy in front of your friends, trying to be like, oh look you cool, you big and bad. Your mama hear you. She gonna put you on your place real quick. Say what you said? Say no no, no, no, no, no no no. You ever heard the phrase keep that same energy, No no no, keep that same energy. You better watch
your words because they might get you in trouble. Now here's a situation where Israel, Benjamin and them, nothing y'all doing them. They government is super right wing right now. It wasn't always this right wing, but it's super right wing right now. So you got to talk that talk and the talk he been talking, but it's on South Africa. Topproved that that talk is not just talk. They need to prove intent. South Africa's prove are y'all words the things you said, the videos that have gone around of
your military, Now why South Africa feel like listen? Oh listen, Brew, I was about to say, oohs that's wrong nation, Bru. How does it mean, Bru? We've been through this part time. Wasn't that long ago. We know apartheid talk, We know apartheid walk when we see it.
It apartheid.
You'd like, if you don't know, like apartheid's like, is the is the finally evolved version of Jim Crow? Like it's this is the fully evolved pokemon. We know what it is. We we've heard them words and we've gone through it. We stopped it, and we're still healing to this day from it. So Israel, you could talk that talk to everybody else here, but I'm part of the.
Global South cup. We know what we're looking at.
We know what you said, and what you said is communicating your intent. So the charges are you're failing to prevent genocide, you're conspiring to commit genocide, and straight up you're you're doing a genocide. Now, what's obviously happened is a war crimes. Is war crimes. But you can't there's no the ICJ International Court of Justice don't have no jurisdiction of war crimes. We can only talk about genocide on the Article two. And they like, well, what's the
evidence of that? Well, like, okay, first of all, the indiscriminate bombing that we all see in number two. You telling the civilians to go to what in place and then bombing the hell out of that place.
You not allowing humanitarian aid to come in.
And then the way that I know this shit is on purpose are the words coming out of your mouth. Brother steps up from South Africa and was like nigga. On October ninth, your own defense secretary was like, listen, you done already said talking to your army that like we cutting off the electricity, were cutting off the water, we cutting off the inn and that we're cutting off all this shit because we're fighting human animals.
You just you you you're calling them vermit.
You got your other boy talking about nobody's innocent in Gaza like I'm trying to wipe Gaza off the face of the earth. You said nobody was innocent in Gaza. Why because And this is the part that like really got really got to me, because he was like, ma, g how are you finished say nobody innocent? And the reason nobody innocent was like, well, y'all ain't stopped. Y'all ain't stopped Lamas, Hamas ain't grow up out the ground. You related them, your brothers, them, your sisters. You ain't
stop them. You protecting them when they come to your house.
You still feeding them. You not turning them into us, nigga, you guilty again.
This is me getting to be like, hey, hey, hey homie, I was outside, Okay, so I live in places that are full of gangs. You're finna tell me I'm just as guilty as Pooky and them, Like we're all we're all guilty. That's what you're finish say. I got cousins that have been that's done twenty five years. You're trying to tell me I should do twenty five Also because the choices of my cousins, I'm supposed to turn them into you like you any better hold up, big homie,
Like it don't work like that. Okay, it don't work like that. And what's crazy is using your logic. Here's the part that blows my mind. Using that logic, then everybody that Hermas kidnapped is guilty using your logic, then there are no civil millions in Israel either. So that's why, like, before you talk, you gotta stand on business. You can't say, like that's the what the hell did you talk about? Nobody innocent at Gaza, didn't nobody in a cent in
Israel right using that logic. But South Africa like food, that's what you said, y'all. Niggas is doing Dan. Your armies are doing dances around like like celebrating Palestinian deaths. You just said you wanted to wipe them all out, that Gaza shouldn't exist. You just said that. That proves intent. Now Israel's defense you made Joe case. Israel gets to make theirs because that's how courts work, all right, less and less, less and less.
Let let's let the homie talk, let them speak for themselves.
Israel's defense is like, first of all, y'all sound like y'all was hired by Hamas because all the everything you saying is what is what they're saying to justify their actions?
How are we Israel?
Like?
It's like, is there am I being pranked? Right now?
How are we?
They attacked us? What is you talking about? They're the terrors nigga, the geneside? What What the fuck are y'all talking about? Israel? Like? They attacked us? What do you? I don't is not what paid attention? They said, we don't have the right to exist?
What is you?
Are you serious?
Those are their words? You're like, how sway that's what they said about us? God damn, you don't mean times we done heard that that we don't have a right to exist, and now you too. They're the ones that said we shoudn't exist. That this them, they're the ones river to the sea come from them, Cuz that's the argument. Like Nigga, they said, we're we're fighting back. I don't understand. You don't think we know what a genocide is. You don't think we know? Israel's like, what is happening? They
attacked us? Well, I don't we're fighting back? What are you talking about? South Africa? Like we talk about your boy who is not fighting back. He trying to eradicate. And the shit coming out your mouth isn't let's go get our hostages. The shit coming out your mouth is let's wipe them out? Now those are your words Israel? Like look, man, people are mad, okay, and when you mad, you say stuff. These people ain't really got no power. They not like in charge. They just they was upset.
You know, when you upset, you talk tough, right, you talk tougher when you we just hyping each other up. You know what I'm saying, Like you know we just you, well you about to go into a fight. You gotta hype each other up, like you know what I'm saying, Like they you gotta you gotta get yourself into the game.
It's Michael Jordan.
You gotta make this, make the shit personal, only it is personal. But they're not in charge, fam, Like they're not. It's not like how you finna say that? Like how you finna say And we did let aid in and when food started talking crazy, we told them to chill. We are trying to negotiate. It's them that's not trying to negotiate. Like why you bringing all this to us?
Man?
Keep that energy, keep that energy for them, Bring that same energy to mas.
Why are you bringing up we're the victims? Fam?
You mad because we clap back, you're not mad at the original clap And yes we slap back, Yes I got a little head, okay, but I'm the victim here because you don't y'all not acknowledge and what I've been living with with this here woman, which sounds like I'm giving you a bias because I am.
But that's their defense.
And South Africa is like, well, we're not bringing a case against hamas because Hamas isn't a nation, Gods is not a nation. You are you the one with an army and they don't take it out. Maybe fifteen hundred, you done kill twenty three thousand people, You're a G twenty nation. I don't understand. I think you know the answer to the question as to why you want trial, and they not.
And they're like, exactly, and we got attacked. What do you He's a trigger? Like here we go again. We can't add.
Whenever we try to defend ourselves, everybody else something to say. You think we don't know that, like Nigga, the definition of genocide is because of what happened to.
Us, they turn into Germany. Like Germany say something Germany like listen.
I have lost the right to speak on this, so just by by virtue of history, I have to side with Israel.
I'm sorry, my bad.
I just I've lost all rights to talk about anything concerning I don't don't ask me, don't ask me, okay, I'd like, I can't listen.
I have to recuse myself from this poor hermity.
Like, don't put me in this shit. We why the term exists? So I don't And it's touted like don't no, no, no, us to this too messy. I don't want to be in it. Don't put me in this shit. My name is Bennett dog oh Man. So how this is broken as far as like who sides is who is pretty simple, Global North and global South. Generally, the global North sides with Israel. Why because it looks like a global North state, you know, and and whatever other reasons why they would that.
I'm not smart enough to understand. But most of the Global South you have to go back to a really early episode called the Global Hood, where I talk about what we mean by global North global South, Like we don't use terms like third world in development countries no more.
It's this idea.
They don't necessarily mean geographically global north, and but for some reason they often break on that line, except for places like Australia. But anyway, most of the Global South is like, no, this is at some point what you're doing in Palestine has happened to us. So we're like, we know what we're looking at now. If you want to split hairs as to what fillatio is or not, you could do that all you want, but you know,
just like I know what the hell you're doing. Now, when is this case gonna come out or when are we gonna get some answers on this? And not till another five years we'll be able to decide whether this was an act like according to the international laws, was this a genocide or not? We're not gonna know for another five years. But it don't matter because ned Yahoo, after this whole case was after this whole little scenario was over, he walked outside and was like, y'all can't
tell me shit. I'm paraphrasing him, but he was like, I'm gonna do what the hell I want to do, Do what the hell I believe I'm supposed to do. Who is you like? I said, you're gonna send me to Earth jail? Like what are you gonna do? I'm gonna do what I believe is right. We know what the fuck happened. Y'all wasn't outside. And then it gets even more crazy because they're like, Okay, you could say that, but we remember your words.
I talked about this on the other on I think on the day.
Take one, we take five episode where it's like he invokes the Amalekites. Remember what the Amalekites have done to you it's a passage from Deuteronomy.
Deuteronomy.
Yeah, passage from Deuteronomy from the Old Testament. Uh No, it's not Deuteronomy, because Deuteronomy is just a lot anyway. It's a passage from the Old Testament. Uh, I don't remember. But essentially God commands in the Bible, in the Hebrew Bible, God commands Israel to wipe out everyone all the way down to the cattle for what they have done to
the children of Israel. So for him to be like, remember what the Amalakite has done you, He's like, y'all, it's just a saying, like we all get it because we all went through all right, We've all been bar Mitzvah's, so we know these passages.
This is the same.
He's like, nigga, but we know what the saying means, like y'all almost slide on you.
I know what that means, and I know the context for which you use it.
Like if my homeboy, if my homeboy de Smoke calls and he like, hey, hey, probably for a slide.
I know he means he's coming over. Now.
If me and d Smoke was had some issues, which we don't but if we had some issues and he was like, hey, nigga, say that again.
We're gonna slide. What he means is he's going to shoot up my house.
Context right, so I can use the context of what Yahoo was saying to know exactly what he meant.
You meant wipe him out.
But you can't prove intent tent. It's very hard to prove. And even if you do prove it, even if he is found to If Israel, the nation of Israel was found to have committed genocidal acts or failed to prevent genocide, which future me now knows is what happened. They were convicted of failing to prevent genocide because you can't prove intent. Although the words help, what are you gonna do? You and ain't got an army you're gonna stop him? He's fired.
You can't make them.
Now we know what's more effective is if his own people the nation is like stop this or we're done with you, which is kind of what it's getting to because the people of Israel are like, can you just go get the hostages? Gee, I just can you just go get the hostages? Just like in the last the first you wasn't outside of this area of this moment of violence was my homeboy's mom telling her nephew.
I just wanted my car back. You got to go back to that one.
Great story that I had to change all the names on because these people are stilllive and I'm still friends with them, but.
I just want my car back. That's it.
People Israel like, can you just get the hostages, Doug? Why is you starving them out?
Just get the osages?
But what do you do when you start talking about your enemy as animals?
You know what happens? Genocide, hell politics. Y'all?
