Charlie Kirk Addresses Anti-Semitism Accusations After Jerusalem Post Confirms IDF Had Advanced Knowledge of October 7th Attack

[00:00] I I don't want to spend too much time on

[00:01] this story I really don't cuz I don't

[00:02] know the truth of the extent of it but I

[00:05] was attacked and I was called an

[00:06] anti-semite and I am resolutely

[00:08] pro-israel for the record I love Israel

[00:10] I want them to win and finish the war

[00:12] but I was smeared and slandered by many

[00:14] people as being called an anti-semite

[00:15] and conspiracy theorist for what is now

[00:17] reported in the Jerusalem Post the IDF

[00:20] knew of hamas's plan to kidnap 250

[00:22] before the October 7th attack the IDF

[00:26] had precise information about Hamas

[00:27] intentions but due to prevailing

[00:29] conceptions in the security

[00:30] establishment possibly negligence by

[00:32] officials the warning signs were not

[00:33] acted on I went on the Patrick B David

[00:36] podcast in fact we can get that tap rine

[00:37] can we get that tap rine where I went on

[00:40] the Patrick Bet David podcast back in

[00:42] October and I did not know all the

[00:44] information and I have been in Israel's

[00:46] corner and remain the entire time and it

[00:48] said I do not believe what we are being

[00:50] told and I believe that they might have

[00:51] had a heads up was there a standown

[00:53] order and I was attacked by every

[00:55] possible Direction but now a this

[00:57] according the Jerusalem Post a newly

[00:59] surface doent has revealed the IDF and

[01:02] intelligence systems have detailed the

[01:04] knowledge of hamas's plan to raid Israel

[01:06] and kidnap before the October 7th

[01:09] Massacre the document was distributed a

[01:11] couple weeks prior and they knew that an

[01:14] attack was coming but I I I'm doing this

[01:16] for my own sake to clear my name because

[01:18] I was so viciously attacked I was

[01:20] smeared and slandered for a month I was

[01:22] called an anti-semite and it's not an

[01:24] exaggeration Washington Times I could go

[01:26] through all the different Publications

[01:29] that publish that n

[01:31] sense there was a document titled

[01:33] detailed endtoend raid training was

[01:36] distributed on September 19th 2023 and

[01:39] described in detail the series of

[01:40] exercises conducted by Hamas elite units

[01:43] these exercise included raiding military

[01:46] posts and kutum Collective communities

[01:48] in Israel kidnapping soldiers and

[01:50] civilians and maintaining the hostages

[01:52] once they were in the Gaza Strip the

[01:54] report by K Naas can news stated quote

[01:57] security sources told can news that the

[01:59] doc was known to intelligence leadership

[02:01] at least in the Gaza division the

[02:04] Jerusalem Post reports that warning

[02:06] signs of the October 7th attack were not

[02:08] acted on the IDF had precise information

[02:11] about hamas's intentions but due to

[02:12] prevailing conceptions within the

[02:14] security establishment and possible

[02:16] negligence by security officials the

[02:17] warning signs were not acted upon the

[02:20] report further detailed that Israeli

[02:22] intelligence officials monitoring the

[02:23] exercises and documented the steps Hamas

[02:26] planned to take after breaching Israeli

[02:28] territory and taking over military posts

[02:30] the expected number of hostages

[02:32] according to the document was between

[02:33] 200 and 250 people quote Israeli

[02:36] intelligence officials who monitor the

[02:38] exercise detailed in the document all

[02:40] the steps that were taken the expected

[02:42] number of hostages 250

[02:45] people so then the general staff

[02:47] investigation team is expected to

[02:49] present initial fightings from the

[02:50] failure to the chief of staff in the

[02:52] coming weeks as the country seeks to

[02:53] understand how a lapse in security could

[02:55] occur despite having detailed Advanced

[02:56] knowledge of the enemy's

[02:58] plans so so the Israeli government knew

[03:01] that the attack was going to happen that

[03:03] is now what Jerusalem Post is saying and

[03:05] the IDF is very very close to Victory so

[03:07] this timing of the story is quite

[03:09] interesting probably from the liberal

[03:11] arm so part of the government knew the

[03:13] question is was BB Netanyahu briefed on

[03:16] this I don't know I have no idea but it

[03:19] is something it's really quite

[03:21] interesting this is me on the Patrick

[03:23] Bet David show and I say this again I

[03:24] want Israel to finish the war to win the

[03:27] war all in but I said what I said and

[03:30] what I said is true and it is a Learning

[03:33] lesson that when somebody says

[03:36] something

[03:38] that is rooted in shared experience and

[03:43] he's also on your side I was attacked by

[03:45] so many conservatives as being a

[03:47] conspiracy theorist Alex Jones type I

[03:50] don't even know what that means this was

[03:52] me on the Patrick B David show it was

[03:53] the number one most viral clip for

[03:55] almost 3 to four days straight uh play

[03:57] Cut

[03:58] 101 how did how did these guys not know

[04:00] this was taking place so I've been

[04:02] Israel many times the whole country is a

[04:03] fortress when I first heard this story I

[04:06] still have the same gut instinct that I

[04:09] did initially I find this very hard to

[04:11] believe I've been to that Gaza border

[04:14] you cannot go 10 feet without running

[04:15] into a 19-year-old with an AR-15 or an

[04:18] automatic machine gun that an IDF

[04:20] Soldier right the whole country is

[04:24] surveilled so that was received very

[04:28] poorly when I said it and I'm just

[04:30] reading from the Jerusalem Post this is

[04:31] not some sort of Fringe thing again they

[04:33] are liberal so they're doing this to

[04:34] undercut the Israeli war effort and

[04:36] again I just call balls and Strikes this

[04:37] is the Socratic method we want to get

[04:39] towards the truth by the way since I

[04:41] love Israel I want to get into the I

[04:43] want to get closer to the truth but it's

[04:45] very very logical to have an inquiry we

[04:47] don't know for fact that there was a

[04:49] standown order we don't know that but we

[04:51] did say that the country was a fortress

[04:54] and I cannot

[04:56] repeat enough that how attack I was I

[05:00] want to say this

[05:01] again this is this is the Jerusalem Post

[05:05] that they wrote

[05:06] here

[05:07] quote the country seeks to understand

[05:10] how such a lapse in security could occur

[05:12] despite having detail Advanced knowledge

[05:14] of the enemy's plans this was not a

[05:17] surprise

[05:18] attack it wasn't that's what the

[05:21] Jerusalem Post is contending here is

[05:23] that the parts of the Israeli government

[05:25] knew that this was going to happen I

[05:28] don't know who I certainly don't know

[05:30] why and I don't want to speculate as to

[05:32] why but October 7th has changed the

[05:35] Middle East permanently it's changing

[05:37] parts of our country this is very

[05:40] important that we find out what the heck

[05:42] happened leading up to who knew that

[05:45] this was going to happen why wasn't this

[05:48] shared we need resignations at a minimum

[05:51] and maybe people go to jail for allowing

[05:54] this to happen and maybe does this go

[05:56] all the way up to the top government of

[05:58] Israel I don't know I sure certainly

[06:00] hope not and I say that as somebody who

[06:02] is cheering for them to win the war we

[06:05] should be pro-israel they are a beacon

[06:07] of civilization against mad man

[06:09] modern-day Nazis we want accountability

[06:13] and we want the truth and the truth I

[06:15] don't know what that is but according to

[06:16] new reports is this was not a sneak

[06:18] attack it was not a surprise attack it

[06:21] was something that Parts at least of the

[06:23] Israeli government knew was going to

[06:25] happen the question is did they let it

[06:27] happen
