WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.799 It's Night Side with Dan ray I WBZ constance. 2 00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:09.560 Me video was about twenty four hours actually twenty five 3 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.519 hours ago in Washington, DC, where there was a horrific 4 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.160 I guess you can only call it an assassination, a 5 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:22.600 double assassination of two young people. You're Ron Leshinsky and 6 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.079 Sarah Milgram. Both of them worked. They were employees at 7 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.920 the Embassy of the Nation of Israel in Washington. Joining 8 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.679 me on the phone right now is the Consul General 9 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.920 of the State of Israel to New England, Consul General 10 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.000 Benny Sharoni. Consul General SHARONI, welcome back to Nightside. I'm 11 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.920 so sad to talk with you about this issue on 12 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.200 this night, but I'm very glad that you're here because 13 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.000 I think it needs to be explained to people what 14 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.280 is going on, not only in this country but around 15 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:56.640 the world. 16 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.560 How are you this evening, Well, good evening, Dan, and 17 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.879 good evening to all of our listeners tonight. Thank you 18 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.159 for having me once again the show. I really appreciate 19 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:12.319 the opportunity, and it is regrettable to be that we 20 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.560 get to speak tonight in such a horrible circumstances. You know, 21 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.799 I was hoping that our next conversation online will be 22 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.400 about the Celtics and about how the Red Socks are, 23 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.400 but fortunately we have to postpone that to another. 24 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:33.920 Yes, the thing that is shocking to me is the 25 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:39.959 way this happened. This guy apparently traveled from Chicago with 26 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.959 a nine millimeter pistol, according to the reports that I've read, 27 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.959 and I know a lot of the reporting on something 28 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.799 like this, particularly the first draft of the reporting could 29 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.159 be incorrect, but he apparently had been pacing outside the 30 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.400 Capital Jewish Museum, which is I guess across the street 31 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.079 from fb I headquarters. So it's it's it's in a 32 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.280 very respectable part of Washington, d C. And he was 33 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.080 waiting there and uh, he approached I guess. It was 34 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:16.800 four people, two of whom were, as I mentioned, a 35 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.039 young man, thirty year old your own Lishinsky who grew 36 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.199 up in Israel in Germany, who was there with his 37 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:29.639 a young woman who he planned to propose to. These 38 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.360 two young diplomats were at a reception where the American 39 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:42.840 Jewish Committee was hosting young diplomats, and your own Lishyinsky 40 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.439 and Sarah Milgram were killed. And I saw one report 41 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.439 tonight which which which really bothered me. I think it 42 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:56.560 was on ABC News, might have been on NBC. I 43 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.639 was trying to watch them both both that this coward 44 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.719 shot these people in the back, very similar to what 45 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:08.599 happened in New York City. To the insurance executive, this 46 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.800 is in Washington, d C. The capital of the United States. 47 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:16.319 And then he was yelling, you know, free, free Palestine. 48 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.639 He made it very clear what his motive was, and 49 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.840 he's now been charged with terrorism and first degree murder. 50 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:31.479 Two counts of first degree murder and terrorism. There's really 51 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.960 no question I can think of Otherton. Then to talk 52 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.879 to you, you worked in that embassy in Washington and 53 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.520 you worked in the same department as these two young 54 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.240 people several years ago. 55 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.319 That's true. That's true. Well, I'll say that the last 56 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.439 twenty four hours since we learned about the attacking d C, 57 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:56.439 we're extremely painful, a lot of frustration. These believed that 58 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:59.240 such a thing can actually happen in the nation's capital. 59 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.879 It is very sad. They're very sad. They one of 60 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.599 the seller's days, the ironment or sinside journey, is really 61 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.879 for the service. Losing two young colleagues who just came 62 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.639 out of a young diplomat's reception. This is this is unimaginable, 63 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:18.199 really unimaginable. I used to work in our NBSS in Washington, 64 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.920 d C. I remember arriving there in twenty sixteen. I 65 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.480 know quite well the area will be even happened. You're 66 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.800 absolutely correct. This is an organized and dignified part of 67 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:35.120 the city. And the yarn who was killed yesterday, he 68 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.879 used to work as a research assistant for our senior 69 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:42.000 middle list diplomat at the embassy, a position I held 70 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.560 when I rerived to Washington back in twenty sixteen. You know, 71 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.120 I spend the whole day today just shock and with 72 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.120 this belief that mainly thinking about those two young people, 73 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.079 about their families, and about my colleagues, the other diplomat 74 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.360 at the Israeli embassy in Washington. You know, to witness 75 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.439 such a thing, this is shocking. It's shocking at a 76 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.399 personal level. It's shocking on a national level. This horrible, 77 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:11.319 horrible event. 78 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.439 Well the thing that bothers me, you know, just besides 79 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.920 the loss of two innocent lives. But as an American, uh, 80 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.360 we should be able to provide protection for the diplomatic 81 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.079 corps and for people who were associated with the diplomatic corps. 82 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.240 I have to assume that this event, although it happened 83 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:37.160 far away from Israel geographically, has shook the country to 84 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:37.920 its core. 85 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.839 By all means, by all means, although you know every 86 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:48.040 Israeli including us, the Israeli as well currently outside of Israelia, 87 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.000 it's by all means. 88 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.959 Now the young men grew up in Israel and Germany, 89 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.240 and he apparently was deeply committed to follow the path, 90 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.879 the professional path that you have followed, wants to wanted 91 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:10.839 to be eventually a senior diplomat. And his soon to 92 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.680 be fiance, Sarah Milgram, they were they were going to 93 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.319 be going back to israel I guess to meet his parents. 94 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:25.160 And again this is this, This just makes it such 95 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.680 a sad story that they were going back and he 96 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.800 was going to propose marriage to this young woman. And 97 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.279 I just don't understand where people like this shooter, I'm 98 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:38.839 not even going to mention his name for tonight, at 99 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:43.040 least felt that they have the license or the authority 100 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.240 to kill he's thirty years old, to, according to the 101 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.920 reports I've read, to kill people of his own age 102 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.079 and to cut their lives down because somehow he feels 103 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.920 emboldened by some what for him is is nothing more 104 00:06:58.959 --> 00:06:59.959 than a political cause. 105 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.959 Us I I wholeheartedly agree and that this is, this 106 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.040 is really horrible. And you know, we we're looking at 107 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.879 the pictures of this young puople standing, you know, so 108 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:16.040 happily another reception that took place quite recently, you know, 109 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.600 to a young professionals standing there, loving each other, enjoying 110 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:25.199 their profession, enjoying their time in Washington. They see this 111 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.279 is this is beyond imagination what had happened. And I 112 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.920 think you know, we we we were all concerned over 113 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:37.040 the last couple of months with a very strong incitement 114 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:42.040 against Israel and against Israels. But unfortunately, you know, what 115 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:47.680 starts with the incitement against Israel soon translated into and 116 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.959 and and ends up with with anti Semitic active terror. 117 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.240 That that is just horrible. 118 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:53.800 This is. 119 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.839 That there's no there's no way that that you know, 120 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.600 United States or in other parts of the world can 121 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.439 tolerate or should tolerate any such acts. 122 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:18.120 I'm assuming that security at all Israel, Israeli compounds and 123 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.600 facilities in this country, if not around the world, have 124 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.399 been tightened up in the last in the last twenty 125 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:26.959 four hours. 126 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.639 Yeah, well, I don't want to get specifically into our 127 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:36.840 security arrangements. But I can say that you know, you 128 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.799 you're not making a far fetched guess about you know 129 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.039 that our current security status. And of course I think 130 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.440 we all you know, quite concerned, not necessarily because there 131 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.320 is a network or because we know that uh, something 132 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.200 like that is going to happen, but just out of 133 00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:00.440 concern that that that act might be you know, repeated 134 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.000 or duplicated or imitated by some some some someone else 135 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.799 or someone might dro inspiration from what had happened and 136 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:12.799 you know, try to do similar act in other places. 137 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.519 So we are we are taking uh, some sets of 138 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.840 security measures upon ourselves, and we are in close contact 139 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:25.080 with US law enforcement authorities in Washington, here, in Boston 140 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.919 and other places where we are present in order to 141 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.000 make sure that we are safe and secure. It's it's 142 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:32.879 a big challenge. 143 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.879 Well again, the level of anti Semitism which seems to 144 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.519 have fantastasized in this country of all of all places, 145 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:47.799 UH is abhorrent. And when people feel that somehow they 146 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.840 can take an action like this and that they will 147 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.679 be I don't know, some sort of a hero. 148 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:56.480 Uh. 149 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:01.720 The guy in New York who shot the UH the 150 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:06.240 insurance executive in the back has been has become lionized 151 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:09.879 by by some uh and I even read a report 152 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.879 tonight that there were some people in this country who 153 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:17.080 were uh, you know, somehow you know, pre seeing this 154 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:22.120 guy or Elon Omar was asked today in Washington about it, 155 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.360 and she had no comment. I don't understand how an 156 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:30.360 elected official cannot have a comment on something as dastardly 157 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.279 as this. I don't necessarily want to put you in 158 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.799 the middle of a political dispute here, but why would 159 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:46.279 any politician not immediately denounce this sort of h violence 160 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.600 directed at absolutely innocent people. 161 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:55.519 Yeah. I don't want to get into American politics. We 162 00:10:55.559 --> 00:11:01.919 have hours, which is complicated enough to countries politics, let 163 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.399 alone another country. But but I'll say that that we 164 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.279 are concerned over the last you know, year and a half, 165 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:12.799 especially after Looktober seventh, with a growing incitement against Israel, 166 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.000 you know, and we were frustrated, you know, from the 167 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.679 fact that well, you know, men used to condemn or 168 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:25.960 just you know, go those are only words, and those 169 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.440 are you know, legitimate, and but but words has been 170 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:34.039 and words easily translated into a call to action, and 171 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:39.639 words especially inciting words, when those are not curbed, when 172 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:44.360 those are not condemned, can easily make people want to 173 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:48.320 take all kinds of foolish decisions or trying to go 174 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:54.879 for you know, do violent things or or and this 175 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.879 is it. You know, it has been concerning for for 176 00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:59.559 all of us over the last year and a half, 177 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:04.720 and fortunately yesterday we got a very painful demonstration of 178 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:10.799 how does it actually look like when words are becoming action. 179 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.840 Well, I think that there are people in our country, 180 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.519 meaning the United States, on both the far ends of 181 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.159 the right and the left, who some of them, some 182 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.840 of them are just simply haters, and some of them 183 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.799 are people who are haters and are also deranged, which 184 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.720 is a toxic mix. And when they think that somehow 185 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.480 their miserable existences can be elevated by what they perceive 186 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:42.080 as a heroic act, which is in fact an act 187 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:47.279 of absolute cowardice, this is what we get. And the 188 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:52.960 language that are used by many, I believe, does encourage 189 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.919 people who are deranged. Mister Consul General, I very much 190 00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.600 appreciate you joining us tonight and expressing the concern that 191 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.639 all of us feel. And please understand that the vast 192 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:11.360 majority of Americans denounced this. Ninety nine point nine percent 193 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:18.240 denounce this action against these two young people and against 194 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.840 the Israeli, the Israel government. So next time we talk, 195 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.559 it will be on a better occasion, and I'll ask 196 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.960 you to take some calls from my listeners tonight. I'm 197 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.480 just going to thank you for having been with us 198 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:34.279 and you know whatever.

And I 213 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.799 appreciate the opportunity and your friendship and again the ability 214 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.000 to speak with you and with your audience tonight on 215 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:36.279 such a painful day. 216 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.399 Well, I know I speak on behalf of my audience, 217 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:40.919 and there are you know, tens of thousands of people 218 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.960 who have heard you tonight and understand that we keep 219 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.120 saying never again, never again, but something like this must 220 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:53.159 never happen again here or anywhere. Thank you again, mister 221 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.600 Consul General. We will talk soon on a better evening. 222 00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.720 Thank you, thank you, Thank you very much. Dan leaving 223 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:00.399 good night to you and the look. 224 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.080 Uh. 225 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:06.919 Council General Benny SHARONI, the Israeli Consul General to New England. Now, 226 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.360 what I want to do is this, Okay, I don't 227 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.480 often ask this, but I'm asking my audience tonight to 228 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.360 pick up the phone. I'm sure that the Consul General 229 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:21.080 will be listening, UH, And I want to hear and 230 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:26.840 denunciation across the board of these sorts of acts, and 231 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.919 a denunciation of this this terrorist who took it upon 232 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.200 himself to end the lives of two innocent people who 233 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.600 were in effect at the beginning of their life. He 234 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:44.559 ended three lives last night, the two people who he 235 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:48.240 murdered in his life. I hope, and this is my 236 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.639 thought that if it has proven that he is the 237 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:56.320 person who did what appears he did, that the federal 238 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.159 death penalty applies to him. Because if you kill the 239 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.799 lives of people who work for a foreign government, and 240 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:05.440 here as part of the diplomatic cores you, that's what 241 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.840 you deserve. You do not speak for the American people, 242 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.360 but I think this guy needs to be put put 243 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:16.600 away for a long time and even potentially put away forever. 244 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.320 Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, 245 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.840 one ten thirty. Will be right back on Nightside, and 246 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:28.399 I would like to hear my audience again. Silence, Do 247 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:33.279 not be silent, Do not be complicit. Speak out, Speak out. 248 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.519 Do you have I have a microphone. I want to 249 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.240 share it with you. We will talk about this until 250 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:42.000 at least eleven o'clock. I'm prepared to talk about it 251 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.519 for the rest of the night, but I need to 252 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.279 hear your voices as part of the chorus here on 253 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.080 Nightside that denounces what happened a little more than twenty 254 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.480 four hours ago in Washington, DC. We'll be right back 255 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:55.440 on Nightside after this. 256 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:01.679 It's Nightside with Dan Ray on WBS, the Boston's news radio. 257 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.359 I want to see these lines full. I have only 258 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.880 one line open, six, one, seven, nine, ten thirty. This 259 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.160 is a night to stand with the State of Israel. 260 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.799 Whatever your views are, this, this cannot stand this sort 261 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:22.480 of cold blooded murder. One of the reports that I 262 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.720 read that I was listened to tonight, and I believe 263 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:28.559 it was ABC World News tonight. The reporter, I believe, 264 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:31.319 claimed or said that this guy had shot this couple 265 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:37.400 in the back. Talk about a coward, Talk about a coward. 266 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.440 Let me go to Matt. Matt, you were first up 267 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.279 this hour. Good welcome, Matt Hey. 268 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.359 I appreciate you giving me opportunity to speak on this. 269 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.759 I appreciate the fact that you've called in and joined us. 270 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:58.400 Go right ahead, first and foremost, may their memory be 271 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:05.119 a blessing always and not forgotten. This is a tragedy. 272 00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:11.039 This is something that is going on in the United 273 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:19.920 States where individuals such as this coward, this lunatic goes 274 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:25.200 and stands outside and paces back and forth, and not 275 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.160 enough attention is drawn to him, but he shoots them, 276 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:35.240 he murders them, and he goes in the building and 277 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:41.160 starts when being detained screaming free Palestine, Free Palestine. The 278 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:47.400 connection and disconnect of people's frustration what's going on with 279 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:53.240 Israel and what I say is their defense to maintain 280 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.720 their country, and the hatred toward Israel and toward Jews 281 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:04.599 is so and it's just overpowering. I see it. I've 282 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:10.680 had people say things to me that are you know, reprehensible, 283 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.599 you know, and it's so it's it's just I don't know. 284 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:20.200 I'm at a loss for words of how this connection 285 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.240 is being made because you know, I did it for Gaza, 286 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:28.720 I did it, you know, and making these statements and 287 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:32.200 these two had nothing to do with it. The man 288 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.119 just bought a ring. They were gonna be married, they 289 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.200 were a young couple. This is hatred. This is how 290 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:45.440 when silence, bigotry is spread and it's eventually condoned by 291 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.599 enough people. I know you said ninety nine point nine percent. 292 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:54.599 I read I saw on some of the other news 293 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:59.960 channels and main news channels locally, people are commenting free power. 294 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:05.079 It's sign other comments, Oh there's no more need for 295 00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:07.440 these people now they're reproduced and there won't be any 296 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:12.039 more genin fidal maniacs and there were not the majority, 297 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.359 but there were comments like that, and this is consistent. 298 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.079 Well, that's that's why. That's why I think people of 299 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.119 First of all, I don't understand how anybody hates a 300 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.240 group of people. I mean, you know, most people of 301 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.720 all backgrounds are decent people when you get to know them. 302 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:34.720 That's just from my experience. So to think that you 303 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:38.319 could so hate a group of people that you would 304 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.359 just cut down and murder to people who you think, 305 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.920 who you think might or might not be be of 306 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:50.759 that background is insane. And again, I want to hear 307 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:55.359 from as many people as possible tonight, because sometimes silent 308 00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:01.319 silence is considered as tacit approval, and I want to 309 00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:04.759 just dispel that notion, as we have continued to dispel 310 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:09.079 that notion on Night Side for a very long time. Matt, 311 00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:11.519 I'm up on my news break side here. I let 312 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:12.839 you go. Thank you so much. 313 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:15.480 You're always a friend, is your fan, and I appreciate 314 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.039 it so many real listeners, No, no. 315 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.160 Reason not to be, that is for sure. There's a 316 00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:24.319 very there, you know. I don't kind of think of 317 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:26.440 too many countries in the world that I admire more 318 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.160 than israel I certainly do admire the United States, but 319 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.279 Israel is right there as far as I'm concerned. We'll 320 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.480 be back on Nightside. Thanks Matt. We'll be back on 321 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:36.640 night Side right after the news break. At the bottom 322 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.680 of the air the only line opened six one, seven, two, five, four, 323 00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:42.960 ten thirty. I want to hear your voice. I want 324 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:47.079 to hear your voice in condemning this act. And frankly, 325 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.480 if if you don't condemn this act, I think you 326 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:54.960 miss an opportunity. We'll be back on Nightside after this. 327 00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:04.359 Night Side on Boston's news radio, we'll go to. 328 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.160 The folds and we go to Harriet and Tewkesbury. Harriet, welcome, 329 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.359 You're next on Nightside. 330 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.920 Oh, thank you, Dan, I'm with a pleasure. My husband 331 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.960 and I met you at the brunch not long ago. 332 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.799 Yes, really, well. 333 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:22.839 Right right, thank you. I'm just so upset about the 334 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.400 things that are going on in this country. It's it's 335 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.559 to have innocent people killed, and and then to to 336 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.880 see these news headlines that like enforces what's going on. 337 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.440 Instead of early the truth, they're printing things from what 338 00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.640 Hamas said, which makes no sense. How do you take 339 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:46.839 stock in a group like that? And nothing is really 340 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:50.680 pressed recently about the poor hostages. Very little except you 341 00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:54.160 and a few others. But it's always, oh, Israel killed 342 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:58.480 this many people. Israel kill Nothing about Hamas hiding in 343 00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.480 places using their own people as shields. 344 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:04.799 That's exactly by the way, Harry, you're right on the money, 345 00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:09.400 that's exactly what they're doing, and our people, some people 346 00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:12.200 in America just fall for it. But again, I think 347 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.640 there has to be a pretty strong streak of anti 348 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:20.400 Semitism to fall for that. It's almost had. It's incredible 349 00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:23.200 on its face, but I think that if you're if 350 00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.240 you're so inclined and you want to sort of be 351 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:31.279 anti Semitic but be legitimately anti Semitic, you just say, well, 352 00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:35.039 Israel's a horrible people. They're killing babies. None of this 353 00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:39.359 would have ever happened if October seventh hadn't happened. 354 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:42.240 Of course, not. 355 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:49.440 All along. I mean, they've given Palestinians as much as 356 00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:52.079 a break as they can. They have their own government. 357 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.680 Hamas was elected by them Israel. They talk like Israel 358 00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.319 is keeping them a hostygen in this little area and 359 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:02.000 won't want them go away. There are people that they 360 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:05.440 let the Palistians go to college and Jerusalem and other 361 00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.440 places in Israel. There were decent ones there that go 362 00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.039 to school there, they're in the government. And then you've 363 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.400 got this really hostile group that just doesn't They just 364 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:16.559 don't want to live in peace. 365 00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:21.079 Yeah, they have no they they they want to live 366 00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:23.880 in conflict. Harry, thank you so much for taking the time. 367 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.480 So great to see. We had a great time at 368 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.079 the brunch and it was been possible. But please say 369 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:30.200 how to your husband for us. 370 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.119 Okay, thanks Harriet, I well, thank you, thanks. 371 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:35.400 You soon, good night.

And as they say, I heard 377 00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:58.359 that elon Omar today was asked about it and she 378 00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:02.640 just couldn't even summon a car mean which which which 379 00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:09.119 is in of itself in my opinion of comment, they will. 380 00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:12.920 Thank you, Thank you very much, Joni. I presient your time, 381 00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.960 Thank you, good night. Let me go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, 382 00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:17.920 you were next time, Nisaga, right ahead, Bill. 383 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:24.559 Yeah, good evening, Dana. It's horrible what happened. And you know, uh, 384 00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:27.799 these people that do this stuff like this. Okay, first 385 00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:31.240 of all, I think it's just my opinion, but I 386 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:34.200 think this is right. I think they hate America. I 387 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:38.240 think part there of course it's hate. Okay, but what 388 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:41.039 we what we saw, uh, you know, the last couple 389 00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.400 of years, and I think, Dan, this whole hate stuff. 390 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:49.160 I think the origin of it started when Hillary Clinton 391 00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:52.319 said that used a deplorables. That was kind of the 392 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.000 beginning of this. Now we saw for the last year 393 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:59.799 or so, all these uh, college campuses across the United States, 394 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:02.680 will all these all these uh well I don't know 395 00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:05.839 if their kids or not, but you know, rioting and 396 00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:09.960 and uh and using all the uh, you know, terrible 397 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:13.880 slang about the Israel and everything. But it's been going 398 00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:15.880 on now for so long that but I think that 399 00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:19.519 this guy and these these people that do this, they 400 00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.880 hate America. And I can tell you that I saw 401 00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:27.559
