Video Summary
Summary
Core Theme
This content argues that the South African state-owned broadcaster, SABC, is deliberately misrepresenting events in the Middle East, specifically concerning an incident in Jenin, to align with the ruling ANC party's agenda, by omitting crucial details about potential Palestinian militant ties and soldier safety concerns.

The South African media simply can't
stop lying to you. And this time it's
about the Middle East crisis. Let's get
So the South African media really seems
to have it out for the population,
refusing to show them the truth as is
and consistently distorting facts to fit
their agenda, or rather should I say the
ANC's agenda. And now they seem to be
doing it not only when it comes to local
South African issues but also global as
well particularly when it comes to
Israel and Hamas. Now recently there was
a video released whereby Israeli
soldiers operating in Janin which is
actually in the West Bank otherwise
known as Judea and Samaria had
neutralized two Palestinian men. But unfortunately,
unfortunately,
the South African media and specifically
the state-owned SABC
has not been willing to share the full
facts with the public. And we're going
to be debunking their lies right here.
But before I get into it, could I please

Now, let's get into it. So, I'll start
with the SABC's article right here
titled UN says Israeli forces killing
two West Bank Palestinians looks like
summary execution. So, of course, the
SABC is taking the opinion of the UN.
So, the UN said on Friday that the
killing of two Palestinian men in the
occupied West Bank by Israeli security
forces the previous day appeared to be a
summary execution in footage captured by
Palestine TV. very creative name.
Israeli security forces opened fired at
two men in the northern West Bank city
of Janin after they appeared to have surrendered.
surrendered.
They were the men were seen leaving the
building and lifting their shirts before
lying on the ground in apparent
surrender. Now this part is important
which I'm highlighting right here. The
forces then appeared to direct them back
into the building before shooting them.
This line is absolute hogwash
nonsense. But who could expect anything
better from the ANC bought and paid for SABC?
SABC?
Anyway, I continue. We're appalled by
the brazing killing of Israeli borders
police yesterday of two Palestinian men
in Janin in the occupied West Bank in
yet another apparent summary execution.
UN Human Rights Office spokesperson
Jeremy Lawrence told press in Geneva.
Now, what's really important to note
here is that if we look at other media
sources, we see how the story seems to
have been distorted in different ways.
I'll give you another example. So, here
we have a report from the Times of
Israel, which of course is going to be
on the opposite end. They're going to be
favoring Israel, where the reporting is
a little bit different. So here it
explains that the Palestinian Authority
accuses Israeli forces of deliberately
committing a war crime following what it
called the brutal summary executions of
two men in Janin in the West Bank on
Thursday. So, if we go down to the
description of the event, the IDF and
police are investigating an incident
today in which border police officers
shot two Palestinians who are wanted on
suspicion of involvement in bombing and
shooting attacks against troops after
the suspects had earlier surrendered
themselves. And this is very important
to note because in the SABC's report,
which is freely available on the
internet for anyone to read, they made
no mention of these links. rather they
just made it sound as if these were just
two ordinary men going about their day.
And so you already see the difference in
reporting here.
So the officers involved in the incident
have reportedly said that the suspects
exited a building surrendering but then
tried to go back into the building
violating the troops instructions and
that only then they were shot. And so
what we see here is two completely
contradictory reports. The SABC claims
that the troops directed them to reenter
the building, which honestly makes no
sense. And I'll explain why. Whereas
here we see a report saying that they
attempted to go back into the building,
meaning the two Palestinians, against
troops orders, and then they were shot.
But what we're going to do now is we're
going to watch the event, the actual
video in real time to decide which side
seems to be more accurate. Now, before
we do, just a quick warning to sensitive
viewers that while this does of course
depict the moment when all of this
happened, you don't have to worry. The
actual incident itself is blurred out.
And so, any of you who are sensitive can
rest assured that you're not going to
see anything graphic or gory due to the
blurring out. So, feel comfortable to
all right. So, they seem to be compliant except
except
look over here. See how this man on the
left who's on the floor is all of a
sudden reaching over with his hand to
the other side of his body which is
hidden from the IDF. Now this is already
a warning sign for the military because
what people with military background
will know is to look out for things like
this. He could be carrying a concealed
weapon. It's very difficult to know. And
let's also not forget that the soldiers
are on high alert. They are not like the
rest of us who are just sitting back in
our chairs at our desks or on the couch
watching this event being replayed. They
are in the firing [clears throat] line.
Their lives are at risk as they are
taking on people who are believed to be
associated with terror groups. And so
you need to understand that they are
going to be on high alert. They do not
want to succumb to any injury or
possibly something worse if they do slip
up. And so, of course, this is a massive
warning sign to them. But let's continue.
All right. So, as we see here, these men
have now returned to where they were.
But what's really important to note here
is I do not see from the officer's body
language at all any signs that they are
directing the men to return to where
they were within that garage. There's
absolutely no indication and anybody
that says otherwise is lying because
here you are watching this video with
me. There's absolutely no indication and
of course there's no audio to suggest
what the people are saying. So where the
UN or the SIBC gets evidence of this,
God only knows because it certainly
All right. So here we see it's blurred
out. The shots have been fired. But I'd
like to also focus on something else
that's really important to note over
here. So the men try to go back inside.
But if we watch specifically this man
who's standing upright now, he's going
to produce a movement that's also quite
alarming to soldiers. [music]
[music]
Okay, watch him there. Do you see how he
just quickly races back down into the
wherever it is that he came out of? He
seemed to be moving very slowly and then
all of a sudden he just dots back into
the darkness. I'll let you watch it
again so that you can see what I'm
talking about. So keep focusing on him.
There we go. Now,
so there you have it. That's the second
warning sign. Now, what we need to
understand here is that the soldiers had
apprehended these men. They told them to
show that they were unarmed. The men did
so. They lifted their shirts. But then
all of a sudden, you have the first man
on the floor who's reaching over to his
other side, which is hidden from the
soldiers, suggesting he could have a
concealed weapon. and he's crawling back
to the dark area he came from. And then
of course the man who was standing hit
the ground and all of a sudden made a
very fast movement to dart back inside.
And now any trained soldier is going to
know that that is a suspicious movement.
Why is he darting back inside when the
soldiers have ordered him to be still
and have ordered him to be there so that
they can arrest him and obviously detain
him? Why is he doing that? Firstly, he's
disobeying their orders, and that of
course is problematic. But then
secondly, they cannot know what sort of
booby traps he has plotted inside or
perhaps if there's maybe more militants
on the inside. And then the minute that
the IDF soldiers decide to follow this
man inside, they get ambushed by whoever
else he's working with. And the reason
why I'm actually bringing this up is
because it's a very real problem in Gaza
and the West Bank. And Kamas is also
active in the West Bank. Please
remember. And I'm going to show you
evidence of exactly what Kamas does in
the following report. So here on the
IDF's official website, we have an
official report from the Israeli
military. And this report speaks about
how the IDF has captured intel which
reveals Kamas's explosive plans. So as
they write, "Our soldiers found a Kamas
training manual in Gaza, the contents,
instructions on how to make bombs at
home." So, anybody who's been following
the current warfare and those who maybe
have listened to military experts such
as John Spencer or Andrew Fox will know
that Kamas is very fond of creating
IEDs, which are improvised explosive
devices made of all different sorts of
materials. Some of which are military
grade and others which can even be made
from household products partially. And
so, as we can see in this report over here,
here,
our soldiers on the ground in Gaza
recently captured a training manual that
gives them step-by-step instructions on
how to make homemade bombs. The manual
amounts to a terrorism 101 handbook on
concealing and detonating all kinds of
explosives. And as you can see from
this, those kinds of IEDs could be
hidden in the area where the two men in
Janine were hiding before being
apprehended. And just to provide further
context, we see that this um specific
article was dated back in 2014. And so
it's been a very very long time that
Kamas has been honing this craft. They
are certainly not new at it.
Anyway, as we continue, we see here that
the training manual contains
instructions for handling and detonating
different types of explosives. Page 14
explains how to fill a television-shaped
bomb with shrapnel.
So here we see Kamas has experimented
with many kinds of explosives during the
course of its existence in the 1990s and
into the second inifard. Kamas suicide
bombers blew themselves up in cafes,
restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, and
buses. Kamas continues to use suicide
belts. a day. IDF soldiers operating on
the ground in Gaza continue to come
across civilian homes rigged by
terrorists with explosives. All kinds of
mines, remotely determinated bombs and
other IED have been found throughout
Gaza. And we know that these kinds of
devices and traps that have been set up
by Kamas continue to kill IDF soldiers
all the way up until the current year
before the current ceasefire went into
effect. Now, I'm not going to continue
with the entire article. For those of
you who do want to review it, I'll
include a link in the description box
below. But what this shows us is two
things primarily. First of all, the SABC
is refusing to acknowledge any potential
terror ties that these men may have as
well as any potential danger that they
may have posed to the soldiers.
Secondly, they completely
mischaracterized the soldiers behaviors.
As we saw in the video, they refused to
acknowledge the suspicious way that the
two Palestinian men were behaving in
that same video as we saw. And probably
the most ridiculous thing is that
they've completely ignored the fact that
these men could have ties to Kamas. They
didn't obey the soldiers orders as we
see from the body language of the
soldiers. And there is this IED problem
in Gaza and the West Bank. And it's
nothing new. As we see, this report is
over 10 years old. And so ultimately,
the SABC is just doing exactly what it
always does, filling that same ANC
agenda, refusing to tell the plain
truth, and instead continues to distort
the situation in order to please whoever
its masters may be. And so my message to
you is to just remain informed, check
out as many potential um news outlets as
you can and actually just do your own
research in order to gain as much
knowledge on any situation as possible.
