MATTHEW FOLDI (GUEST): Tiana, one of the things that I think is also worth noting on the other side of the cameras is in Gaza, where some of the things that stood out to me with the footage of these people being released were how fat Gazans are —
TIANA LOWE DOESCHER (GUEST): Yes.
FOLDI: How well fed they are, how there’s very little destruction of their buildings, and the endless scenes of these Gazans trying to obstruct the Red Cross, which should be called double cross — this basically pro-terrorist organization. My mom has donated blood for years to the Red Cross. She’s no longer donating blood to them, given their support for Hamas here. What did you make of the scenes in Gaza now that, you know, everyone seems to have a camera there and easy cell service.
DOESCHER: I mean, the genocide smear was not just an untruth. It was an intentional method of propaganda in order to galvanize the world against Israel. It’s why we kept on saying up until the last minute before Trump brokers a victorious peace deal for the Israeli government, everyone claiming that Israel is alone, when in fact, the moment Donald Trump won the election, that could never be true. Let’s just rewind real quick to 2023 when the world was on fire. Ukraine was losing its war against Russia, and NATO had no idea what it was doing. It was underfunded. You had Afghanistan had fallen to the Taliban. Israel was not just at war with Hamas, but Hezbollah was getting ready, right? Hezbollah was firing rockets into the north of Israel. You had the Houthis ready to take over the Red Sea, the whole world on fire. Donald Trump comes in and shows you can just do things. You know what? Not only can you directly have the US military go into Iran, take out Iran’s nuclear capabilities, you can also let Netanyahu bomb Hamas and Qatar, and that brings Doha to the table. And that’s — it’s part of the reason why they were in a position where they couldn’t really say no to Jared and to Trump. And so, you know, the Gaza lie will be exposed as Hamas is extricated from control. Hopefully that still stands. Going forward, the most important thing that Trump did was get everyone in the region to be a stakeholder, because the Saudis will go in there and they will show what a lie this was and how complicit international actors, Chinese on TikTok, propaganda on X was in terms of promulgating the idea that the Jews are the only people that on planet Earth and throughout history who have to allow themselves to be genocided while being smeared as the perpetrators.
