Ian Carroll Exposes Benjamin Netanyahu's Corruption Trial and the Banned Documentary Revealing Israel's Dark Secrets
Ian Carroll uncovers the truth behind Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial and reveals where to find The BB Files, a documentary mysteriously pulled from all major streaming platforms. The film features leaked police interrogations of Netanyahu, his wife Sarah, and billionaire donors Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, exposing alleged bribery, media manipulation, and government corruption. Through understanding Netanyahu's legal troubles, Carroll argues, you gain critical perspective on Gaza, Israel's far-right government coalition, and how one man's desperate attempt to avoid prison may have pulled the entire world toward conflict. This documentary changes everything about how we understand the current Middle East crisis.
The Documentary They Don't Want You to See
A new documentary about Benjamin Netanyahu and corruption in the Israeli government was mysteriously pulled from all major streaming platforms. The BB Files, which was shortlisted for an Oscar nomination, contains serious revelations including leaked police depositions from Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, testimony from Netanyahu's lifelong best friend, his campaign manager, and co-conspirators in a long list of alleged crimes. Most importantly, the documentary sheds light on how the Middle East reached its current state, how and why Netanyahu took Israel to war with Hamas, and why he has no intention of ending that conflict.
Many Americans don't know enough about Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial. Through understanding his corruption trial, you come to understand the current state of the Israeli government and the ultra-right-wing party in power. Tragically, you gain a whole new perspective on what's happening in Gaza and Israel's military actions around its borders.
The documentary includes leaked police interrogation footage not only of Netanyahu and his wife Sarah, but also of Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, two of the most powerful Jewish political donors in the world. It features footage of the interrogation of Arnon Milchan, ex-Israeli spy and Hollywood mogul who stands at the center of the trial. It includes Netanyahu's lifelong best friend, former associates, former personal assistant, campaign manager, and a wide cast of Israeli sources.
In one police interrogation, Miriam Adelson specifically says, "What can I say? If this comes out, I'm dead." Well, it got out and then mysteriously it was pulled from all streaming platforms, essentially wiped from the internet. Amazon Prime where it had been available simply showed "this video is currently unavailable to watch in your location." Using a VPN reveals it's unavailable in any location. Or at least that is apparently what Netanyahu would like to happen. But the internet has a way of holding on to things, especially things you try to bury.
Who Is Benjamin Netanyahu?
Benjamin Netanyahu was born in 1949 to secular Jewish parents, meaning non-religious. He is the longest-serving prime minister in Israel's history, having served for a total of 17 years so far: 1996 to 1999, again from 2009 to 2021, and then after a quick break, he was elected again in 2022. That last gap from 2021 to 2022 becomes crucial because that is where everything changed dramatically.
To understand that shift, you have to understand how much power went to his head during his incredibly long time atop Israeli politics from 2009 to 2021. That is 12 consecutive years throughout basically all of Obama's two terms and through Trump's first term. Eighteen-year-olds serving in the IDF today have basically never known Israel without Netanyahu.
During that 12-year period, Netanyahu and his wife Sarah became more and more corrupted by power, wealth, and influence. Netanyahu had many corruption cases over the years. In 1997, he was investigated for appointing the attorney general in some corrupt deal. Later, he was interrogated for receiving gifts. There was also a case about the submarines deal that Israel has with Germany. But he was never prosecuted. When you do something wrong and get away with it once, twice, three times, ten times, twenty times, you begin to think that you are immune, that nothing will touch you.
Sarah Netanyahu's Role in the Corruption
Sarah Netanyahu is extremely important as a decision maker in everything that goes around Netanyahu. She deals with hiring in the office, gets to decide who will be the advisor, decides his schedule, and decides policy. They are almost like a couple that runs the country together.
It's been proved in court that Sarah Netanyahu abused workers and treated them in the most humiliating way possible. According to their bodyguard, whenever they'd return from the White House, it was difficult because Sarah wanted to be treated just as nicely as Melania Trump with all the same stops pulled out as for the American president and first lady. The bodyguard describes how they know how to steal things that they want to have, that invoices had to be falsified because the state wasn't willing to pay, and her budget was always approved.
He describes her drinking habits, noting she drinks a lot, which explained why her behavior was sometimes friendly, sometimes angry. When Sarah got in the car after drivers loaded her trunk with boxes of champagne, she would take a glass of champagne to go. Her favorite champagne is expensive, and they've racked up quite the bill through gifts provided by their rich friends over and over.
Netanyahu has a very sharp mind apparently, but not so sharp when it comes to remembering all the gifts that he and his wife received over the years.
The Three Criminal Cases Against Netanyahu
In 2016, Israeli investigators opened an investigation into the Netanyahus and their wealthy friends. In November 2019, Netanyahu was officially charged. Israel actually has a legitimate history of putting their politicians in prison when found guilty. In the past 20 years, they have imprisoned a minister of finance, a president, and a prime minister for crimes like corruption, bribery, lying under oath, and rape.
Netanyahu stands accused of three separate but related offenses titled Case 1000, Case 2000, and Case 4000.
Case 1000 revolves around Netanyahu receiving a 20-year supply of gifts from ex-Israeli spy turned Hollywood tycoon Arnon Milchan in exchange for illicit government favors like extending a tax loophole that would have saved him millions of dollars, pressuring John Kerry for help with Milchan's visas, and interceding on behalf of Milchan's investments using Netanyahu's government authority. By the way, Arnon Milchan openly bragged about his time as an Israeli spy when he helped Israel steal nuclear technology from the US for their secret nuclear program.
Case 2000 involves Netanyahu's relationship with the publisher and controlling owner of one of the most popular Israeli newspaper publications, Yedioth Ahronoth, named Arnon Mozes. The allegation is that Netanyahu was trading political favors for positive media coverage of him and his wife. This is especially concerning because the relationship came into focus surrounding the 2016 election where the two allegedly collaborated to weaken Netanyahu's opponent and presumably win him the election.
Case 4000 is similar to Case 2000. It involves Netanyahu forming a relationship with the owner of one of Israel's top online news platforms named Walla. He used it to run positive coverage of him and his wife as well as negative coverage of his opponents.
Netanyahu has allegedly fashioned himself more and more as the supreme ruler of Israel, wielding his power to corrupt the media, exchange favors, and enrich his family through his position of power. Even Netanyahu's son, Yair, got in on dictating content to Walla. Yair is ultra-right-wing, even more right-leaning than his father. Netanyahu told his best friend one day that Yair can replace him, floating the idea of his son replacing him like it's a monarchy.
Netanyahu's Dangerous Alliance With Extremists
Netanyahu had been aligning more and more with right-wing factions in Israel for some time. Many Israelis point to the 2015 elections which he won with the alleged support of his corrupt media mogul friends involved in his criminal charges. But he was okay because he was in power and able to use that power to protect himself and his friends.
In 2021, he was beaten in the election and suddenly became very vulnerable. He was facing multiple serious charges and his seat of power from which he had allegedly been ministering favors to his rich friends was gone. Netanyahu's only path forward was to get back into office as quickly as possible and to do something to bury these charges forever. This is where everything gets really dark.
Netanyahu decided that given the choice between facing his charges and probably going to prison or taking Israel down a supremacist path, he chose the latter. He chose to go to any length to retake power and escape prison.
Meet Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, two of the most prominent examples of the path Netanyahu has taken his country down. Both live in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen land in the West Bank. Both have participated in and support Jewish terrorism in the past. They represent the most fervent fascist religious extremism of the Israeli right-wing. They represent the beliefs of many Jewish supremacists in Israel that the Palestinian people should be eliminated and ethnically cleansed at any cost.
Now they have a stranglehold over Benjamin Netanyahu. Because they represent the right-wing coalition that elected him, if Netanyahu doesn't appease them, he will almost surely lose his position and maybe be locked up.
Smotrich not only lives in an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank, but he actually lives outside of its borders as an active expansion of that settlement. He was arrested in 2005 for being a Jewish terrorist, though the investigation never pursued charges. As finance minister, he is working to cut off the Palestinian Authority from Israel's financial system, using his authority to stop transferring tax payments and preventing the return of Palestinian workers to Israel. Security forces are now alerting about the collapse of the Palestinian Authority and the dire consequences for Israel's security. Smotrich understands the security dangers but this is exactly his goal.
Itamar Ben-Gvir also supports this vision of chaos. During Jerusalem Day celebrations, Ben-Gvir stated that his policy is that Jews would be allowed to carry out religious rituals on the Holy Temple Mount. This faction dreams of the day when they can destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and rebuild the Jewish temple on the Temple Mount, which is the symbolic center of the global religious conflict between Judaism and Islam. That course of action would almost certainly spell global war, quite likely nuclear in nature.
Ben-Gvir spoke openly in support of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who signed the Oslo Accord peace treaties with the Palestinians. He was once filmed holding a hood emblem he claimed was from Rabin's car, saying "we can get to Rabin as well." A Jewish extremist assassinated Rabin three weeks later. Ben-Gvir was not recruited to military service because he was condemned in court as one who supports Jewish terror. He is a follower of a racist movement and wants to expel what he calls disloyal Arabs.
Ben-Gvir was also a member of the Kach Party based on Kahanism. The Kach Party was outlawed in Israel and the US State Department designated it a foreign terrorist organization. It's based on the theology of Meir Kahane who founded the Jewish Defense League, a Jewish terrorist organization operating in the US and Canada. The JDL's means of "protecting Jews from anti-Semitism" included bombing Arab and Soviet properties in the United States and assassinating people they deemed enemies of the Jewish people.
The Assault on Israeli Democracy
Netanyahu allies with Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, wins the election in December 2022, and then in the first week they begin to undermine the power of the Supreme Court in Israel. Ben-Gvir is now the minister controlling the police, bringing his racist violent ideology into the entire policing system inside Israel. Smotrich wants to do ethnic cleansing based on his published plan.
These guys have zero interest in the corruption cases because Netanyahu is their means to achieve their fantasies, their dreams, their vision to annex Judea and Samaria and kill once and for all the idea of a Palestinian state. What was the difference between 2023 and the 20 years that came before? Only one thing: the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court was perceived by his partners as the rival of what they want to achieve. If you are an annexationist, the Supreme Court might stop you, so you need to castrate the Supreme Court from being able to stop you. At the same time, Netanyahu realized judicial reform could be a way to legislate his way out of his legal predicament.
One week after Netanyahu returns to power with the help of the supremacist far right, they take active steps to undermine Israel's democracy. Protests break out in the streets with renewed vigor. Violence escalates, spurred on by Ben-Gvir's zealotry in command of the police force. The situation quickly grows to a fever pitch throughout 2023.
October 7th Changes Everything
Then Hamas attacks on October 7th. The documentary shows actual footage of the attacks to remind us all how brutal it was, without embellishing it with questionable stories. As soon as Israel is under threat, the entire country comes together and shifts dramatically toward the right-wing. Suddenly, the focus is no longer on Netanyahu, no longer on his assault on Israeli democracy. Now, the existential threat is Hamas.
Despite the fact that Netanyahu propped up and facilitated millions of dollars of funding for Hamas for years specifically to keep the Gaza Strip destabilized. Despite the fact that his own IDF ordered their helicopters to fire indiscriminately on vehicles returning to the Gaza Strip, likely killing dozens or even hundreds of Israeli civilians and potential hostages. Despite the fact that it came out later that Netanyahu's intelligence services had known of the attack in advance and had not acted on that intelligence. In fact, they had coincidentally moved two full companies of IDF commandos away from the Gaza border just two days before the attacks.
When the investigation into what really happened on October 7th got too hot, the court that Netanyahu was in the process of strangling ordered a suspension of the investigation. Nothing to see here.
The documentary makes a point of showing in graphic detail the destruction that was subsequently inflicted upon the Palestinians. By the end of the sequence, you can't help but feel the plight of both peoples and rage for the corruption and immorality that led to this situation.
Why This Documentary Matters
This documentary is important because it makes plain for everyone to see that this is a more complex issue than just the Jews versus the Palestinians. It's more complex than just "Israel is evil," more complex than blaming an entire group of people for the world's problems. Israel is being preyed upon by a parasite. It is infected by the fringe extremist ideology of Jewish supremacy that has been a significant but not always controlling mindset in Israeli politics until recently.
This war has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians at the hands of a US-backed and armed military led by extremists who openly state their intentions to ethnically cleanse Gaza and all of Palestine. Netanyahu is so corrupted and absorbed by his own self-preservation that he will go along with just about anything that ensures he holds on to power.
Protests have resumed in the streets over his handling of the war and his apparent indifference to the lives of the hostages still held by Hamas more than a year and a half later. The head of the Shin Bet, similar to Israel's FBI, resigned a few months ago, stating that he believed Netanyahu was dictatorial and power-crazed. He claimed that if there were to be a constitutional crisis, Netanyahu would expect him to obey the prime minister and not the courts, and that Netanyahu had asked him to use the Shin Bet to spy on Israeli citizens who participated in and supported the protests.
Netanyahu denied the allegations exactly as he has with every other allegation. If there is one thing Netanyahu is good at, it is acting however he needs to act in order to escape justice for one more day, to hold on to power for one more day, to delay the inevitable one more day. But the inevitable is coming.
A Call for Accountability
The ultimate tragedy of this situation is that in many ways, it's only possible because this one cowardly man would rather watch the whole world burn than face the consequences of his corruption. He would rather tear down Israel's democratic system, the only democracy in the Middle East. He would rather let his own people remain in Hamas captivity, let his own people continue to die in war, his own economy crumble, his own nation and people's goodwill evaporate all around the world than face justice.
Benjamin Netanyahu has opened the gates to the most vile supremacist fascist wing of Judaism to take power in Israel and to slaughter Palestinian men, women, and children. He has opened Pandora's box and crossed a line we will never return from. He's doing it all just to save his own skin. But his cowardice is being used by extremists in Israel to achieve their own messianic goals, by those profiting off another forever war, by the surveillance state to test dystopian technologies, and by the ruling class to further divide the people.
Jewish people face a unique and difficult reckoning. If Jewish people want to maintain a strong sense of national identity and unity, what happens when members of your tribe commit atrocities for corrupt reasons and then turn the world against you? If Jewish people are going to maintain such a strong global identity, the burden falls to them to a certain degree to hold all other Jews to the highest moral standard. Otherwise, how can you blame people for collectively blaming Jews when it is Jews who group up collectively and defend the actions of a man like Netanyahu at any cost?
Many Jews don't do that. Many Jews think critically and are outspoken about the corruption in Israel and the insanity of its current course of action. All Jews are individuals and should be treated as such. Jews should not treat Israel as an infallible project. Israel has committed many atrocities and has much to answer for. Tying your identity to a corrupt government is a horrible idea. As an American, the job is to loudly criticize the government for its crimes and call for it to do better. Jewish people should do the same for theirs.
With every dead Palestinian child, the world turns more and more against Israel and those who stand with her. Violence and hate only begets more violence and hate. It was that cycle of violence that got us into this mess, and the only way out of it is with Netanyahu behind bars.
Where to Watch The BB Files
Netanyahu got his way and had the documentary taken down off all major streaming platforms, but it's still available from the producers on their website. You can support the producers by going to their website, where you can stream it through Vimeo. For the price of about a Big Mac meal, you can vote your support for the brave men and women who made this film at great personal expense and risk. They have done an immeasurable service to the world.
This is the truth and it matters to everyone around the world because whether we like it or not, Israel is pulling the entire globe into this conflict. Our own politicians are pulling us into this conflict by funding it, endorsing it, and passing speech laws in America if you question it.
Video Transcript
There's a new Tell All documentary about Benjamin Netanyahu and the corruption in the Israeli government that you need to watch, but you probably haven't seen it because it was mysteriously pulled from all the major streaming platforms for reasons. They have some serious bombshells in there like leaked police depositions from the Adins, testimony from BB's lifelong best friend, his campaign manager, and co-conspirators in a long list of alleged crimes. But most importantly, the documentary sheds light on how the Middle East got so messed up, how and why BB took Israel to war with Hamas, and why he has no intention of ending that conflict. This documentary changes everything. And today, we're going to break it all wide open and show you where you can still find it and watch it for yourself. Welcome back to Candace. [Applause] [Music] A lot of Americans and people around the world don't know enough about Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial. I mean, I didn't know enough about his corruption trial. And I didn't know before I started learning more that through understanding his corruption trial, you come to understand the current state of the Israeli government and the ultraright-wing party in power. And tragically, you gain a whole new perspective, a critical perspective on what's happening in Gaza and all the rest of Israel's military actions around its borders right now. And the best place for you to start after you finish watching this video, of course, is with the documentary that was shortlisted for an Oscar nomination released last year, named The B Files. It's one of the best documentaries you'll ever watch. And it includes leaked police interrogation footage, not only of BB and his wife, but also of Miriam and Sheldon Adlesen, two of the most powerful Jewish political donors in the world. It has footage of the interrogation of Arnon Milchin, ex-Israeli spy and now Hollywood mogul who stands at the center of the trial. And it has footage of BB's lifelong best friend, his former associates, his former personal assistant, his campaign manager, and a wide cast of Israeli sources. Miriam Adlesen specifically says in one of the police interrogations, quote, "What can I say? If this comes out, I'm dead." Well, it got out and then mysteriously it was pulled from all streaming platforms. Basically wiped from the internet. Amazon Prime where it had been available simply showed this video is currently unavailable to watch in your location. But try using a VPN and you will discover that it is unavailable to watch in any location. It's gone. Or at least that is apparently what BB would like to happen. except that unfortunately for our boy Benjamin, the internet has a way of holding on to things, especially things that you try to bury. And we dug it up. And at the end of the segment, I'll show you where you can go to watch it today. Let's start though with just a brief intro from the documentary to get you feeling what we're feeling. the police because it was a prime minister investigation and they knew that it will be very high-profile. They investigated everybody. I mean hundreds of people. Some of the witnesses were interrogated twice, three times, four times. You have a rare opportunity to see the most powerful people in Israel in interrogation rooms dealing with question that were never been asked. What did you give? What did you get? How many times you met him? And you see people in the most tense part of their life. This is Miriam Middleton right here saying we always pay when we go out with them. Why do you always pay? Ask them. All of BB's friends are rich. So that's the essence of your friendship, money. What can I say? If this comes out, I'm dead. Yeah, that's Miriam Mson. Miriam Mson donated $100 million to the Trump campaign in this election. She is one of the most powerful Jewish political donors in the world. But there's more. They also have Sheldon Adlesen's deposition. and Miriam and Sheldon give their frank opinions of BB's wife Sarah, who we will talk about later. I'll narrate a little when they speak in Hebrew. Listen, I think the country of Israel would be better off if she didn't put her nose into his politics. And uh she's she's very unforgiving. And I think that I got to tell you, okay, I got to be as honest with you as I can. I don't think I'll continue the friendship. She's talking about how Sarah showed her a necklace that was really expensive that someone had bought for her. She was implying that she'd be really happy if Miriam bought her one, too. She said she couldn't. She has a casino license. She can't do that. Doesn't look good. She's describing the type of political blackmail that the Netanyahu's apparently allegedly take part in. You know, tit for tat, quit proquo, little favor for favors, right? I just need another Tiffany and Co. necklace. I mean, what could go wrong, right? But before we get ahead of ourselves here, let's rewind a little bit. Let's rewind to sort of the beginning of this story. Netanyahu, Benjamin Netanyahu, was born in 1949 to secular Jewish parents, meaning non-religious. And that will become pretty important in just a moment. He is the longest serving prime minister in Israel's history, having served for a total of 17 years so far. That is 1996 to 99, again from 2009 to 2021, and then after a quick break, he was elected again in 2022. That last gap from 2021 to 2022 will become very important because that is where everything changed dramatically. But to understand that shift, you have to understand how much the power went to his head during his incredibly long time a top Israeli politics from 2009 to 2021. That is 12 consecutive years. That was throughout basically all of Obama's two terms and through Trump's first term. 18year-olds serving in the IDF today have basically never known Israel without BBE. And during that 12-year period, BBE and his wife Sarah, who will become quite important in this story, became more and more corrupted by power, wealth, and influence. I'll let a short clip from the documentary explain a little better. Net over the years had many corruption cases. In 1997, he was investigated for appointing the attorney general in some corrupt deal. Later, he was interrogated for getting gifts. Also, one case that starts from investigative report that I made, it's about the submarines deal that Israel has with Germany. But he was never prosecuted. [Music] When you do something wrong and you get away with it once and twice and three times and 10 times and 20 times, you beginning to think that you are immune, that nothing will touch you. So it wasn't long before Natana was into trouble again. So the initial investigations opened in 2016. But throughout those years prior when he was the prime minister for so long, Netanyahu not only got away with a number of alleged corrupt acts, but he also formed many very powerful and lucrative friendships. Many of the wealthiest people in the world are Jewish and many of them have interests in Israel. Benjamin and Sarin Netanyahu seem to learn that they could live that glamorous lifestyle by receiving gifts from their billionaire friends. And Sarin Netanyahu is apparently quite involved in all the crimes and controversy in a fundamental way. I'm going to turn it back over to the documentary to fill you in. First of all, Mrs. Netanyao is very important as a decision maker in everything that goes around Mr. Netanyahu. So this is Mirett, former campaign manager, publicity manager saying how Sarah intervenes in both political and media matters. She deals with hiring in the office. Benji Meta is extremely skillful and knowledgeable and smart. But can we trust you? So that's Sarah's Sarah's responsibility. So once he thinks it's that someone has the right skills, uh still Sarah needs to give her approval that we the Netanyahu family can trust this guy or this lady. She gets to decide who will be the advisor. She gets to decide his schedule. She gets to decide policy. She's very very important. They are almost like couple that runs the country. And the second thing is like now she's saying I represent Israel all over the world. My husband and I walk along rows of soldiers. I meet with world leaders and their wives. I bring a whole lot of respect to our country and it's not publicized and our country is missing missing out on it. She just seems like a really wonderful lady. And if you noticed, I was reading very exaggerated because she is talking intense. Like all the interview footage of her is intense. And it turns out that there's a reason why it's so intense. And I'll just again let the documentary describe why. It's been proved in court that Setanyao abused workers, treated them in the most humiliating way possible. [Music] So, this is their bodyguard describing how he's in charge of the household. And he's talking about how whenever they'd return from the White House, it was really hard because Sarah Netanyahu wanted to be treated just as nice as Melania and all the same stops pulled out as for the American president and first lady. Needless to say, Israel does not exactly have the same, you know, checkbook. But he says they know how to steal things that they want to have. The state wasn't willing to pay, so invoices had to be falsified. She did whatever she wanted, and her budget was always approved. She drinks a lot. And I figured out that's why her behavior was sometimes friendly, sometimes angry. She'd shout and then she would be kind. That's the cycle. again and again. He knows that she drinks. He knows everything. When Sarah got in the car after the drivers loaded her trunk with boxes of champagne, Sarah would take a glass of champagne. As I take a glass of coffee to go, she takes a glass of champagne. And it turns out that she takes a lot of glasses of champagne, it sounds like. And it turns out that her favorite champagne is pretty expensive. And they've racked up quite the bill that's not a bill because it was being provided by all of their rich friends over and over and over as some sort of gift or favor. And notice how the housekeeper, he said that BB knows everything. He has a very sharp mind apparently, but not so sharp when it comes to remembering all the gifts that him and his wife received over the years. So anyways, in 2016, Israeli investigators opened up this investigation into the Netanyahus and their wealthy friends. And in America, unfortunately, this sounds kind of toothless. We've seen our politicians get investigated occasionally, but never in recent memory has a president or high-ranking official faced any real justice or accountability for corruption, let alone the borderline treason that we have seen over the years. But Israel, to their credit, actually has a legit history of putting their politicians in prison when they were found guilty in a court of law. In the past 20 years, they have imprisoned a minister of finance, a president, and a prime minister for crimes like corruption, bribery, lying under oath, and rape. They've imprisoned more than that, but these are just the three biggest names. Every government struggles with corruption, and Israel is certainly no exception to that rule. Abraham Hen, the Minister of Finance from 2006 to 2007, was convicted in 2009 of embezzling millions of shekels and other financial corruption. He was sentenced to 5 years and 5 months plus a small fine. In 2010, Moshe Katsv, the eighth president of Israel, was convicted of rape, sexual harassment, committing an indecent act while using force, harassing a witness, and obstruction of justice. He was sentenced to 7 years and wound up serving about five. In 2014, former Prime Minister Ahood was sentenced to 6 years in prison. After appeals and continued trials, he wound up with a sentence for 27 months in prison, of which he wound up serving about 16, plus paying a small fine for corruption, much like what Netanyahu is accused of. So, yeah, they still mostly got off easier, but they didn't get off clean. There is plenty of precedent for Netanyahu and his wife Sarah going to prison if he is convicted for the crimes he is accused of. And the evidence shown in the BB Files documentary alone is quite compelling. Hence why it is not available to stream on any mainstream platforms right now. Netanyahu stands accused of three separate but related offenses titled case 1, 2000, and 4,000. And I don't know who the hell comes up with these names. I don't write the rules. I just work here. They have dumb names. But case 1000 revolves around Benjamin Netanyahu receiving a 20-year supply of gifts from ex-Israeli spy turned Hollywood tycoon Arnon Milchin in exchange for illicit government favors like extending a tax loophole that would have saved him millions of dollars, pressuring John Kerry for help with Milchin's visas, and interceding on behalf of Milchin's investments using Netanyahu's government authority. all the types of things that Israel has jailed officials for in the past. And by the way, Arnold Milchin openly bragged about his time as an Israeli spy when he helped Israel steal nuclear technology from the US for their secret nuclear program that they aren't supposed to have and still officially do not. That's actually tied into why BB had to help him deal with the visa issues, but that's a different rabbit hole. Case 2000 involves Netanyahu's relationship with the publisher and controlling owner of one of the most popular Israeli newspaper publications, Yedi Aronath. His name is Arnon Moses. The allegation is that Netanyahu was trading political favors for positive media coverage of him and his wife. This is especially concerning because the relationship came into focus surrounding the 2016 election where the two allegedly collaborated to weaken Netanyahu's opponent and presumably win him the election. Who knows if he would have won without this corrupted media slant in his direction, but that's concerning. Case 4000 is pretty similar to case 2000. It involves Netanyahu forming a similar relationship with the owner of one of Israel's top online news platforms named Walla. He used it to run positive coverage of him and his wife as well as negative coverage of his opponents. Basically, Netanyahu has allegedly fashioned himself more and more over the years as the supreme ruler of Israel, and he has wielded his power to corrupt the media, exchange favors, and enrich his family through his position of power. Even BB's son, Yaire, got in on dictating content to Walla, that news site. And let's just say that Ya has some extreme views. I'm going to show a clip from the documentary for this. He's ultra rightwing. I don't think even his father is as right leaning. But y he's like a dictatorial right is what she's saying. The common theme between the left in Israel, America and Europe is pushing forward illegal immigration and illegal immigrants because they want to change the identity of the country and make national identity obsolete. He says from the moment he wakes up and all night long the guy's on the internet. He's a news junkie 24/7. He doesn't work. He believes that his father is too weak, doesn't perform under pressure, isn't aggressive enough. Even says that he's dedicating the next few years. to making sure my father doesn't mess up. BB told me one day I remember that Y can replace him. I did this with my eyes. Okay, I didn't say well there's my eyebrows can't went up. That's BB's best friend. I can replace you. First of all, when he can't he can't appoint your son. Why can he be considered? He said, well, he has the capability. He really thinks that it's like the kingdom. And I just want to point out that in this clip, the one thing you saw Yaya say was about illegal immigration and it didn't actually sound that far right in context of right now in America. It actually sounded pretty reasonable. But just trust me, watch the whole documentary and the other things that he says, the way he acts on camera and it's quite the picture. Especially when you consider that BBE, the elected prime minister of Israel, was floating the idea of his son replacing him, like it's a monarchy or something. So, the whole thing kind of gets pretty dictatorial pretty fast. And it's probably best if we don't reflect the story back on the United States too much because it gets pretty depressing when you do. These are criminal acts and anyone that commits them in a democratic society should go to prison regardless of the society they should go to prison. So in November 2019 after the investigation had been going for a while Netanyahu was officially charged with all of these cases. And then the world broke out into a global pandemic which was let's just say very convenient for Benjamin. But as the world came out of the pandemic, he was beaten in the 2021 election and suddenly he became very vulnerable. He was facing multiple serious charges and his seat of power from which he had allegedly been ministering favors to his rich friends was gone. Netanyahu's only choice, his only path forward was to get back into office as quickly as possible and to do something to bury these charges forever. And this is where everything gets really dark. But before we go into this next phase of the story, I want to take a break and tell you about one of our sponsors. I want to tell you about American Financing. Is now a good time to buy a home?

I also want to throw it to my sponsors of today's episode, Gold Co. because you may have heard that Rhonda Santis signed a bill that would recognize gold and silver as legal tender in the state of Florida, exempting them from sales tax. Yeah, that law is set to take effect on July 1st, 2026, pending ratification by the state legislature. Now, now why did he do this? Well, Governor Sandis explained it by saying, quote, "This is our ability to give you the financial freedom to be able to protect yourself against the declining value of a dollar." And I guess all that inflation and skyrocketing national debt, not to mention the recent credit downgrade for the United States, may have opened his eyes, because this is exactly the reason that I partnered with a precious metals company. The writing has been on the wall for a long time now. So, if you want to learn more about how gold and silver can help you protect your money, reach out to my partners over at Gold Co.

So anyways, Netanyahu had been aligning more and more with right-wing factions in Israel for some time, and he had become more and more corrupt. Many Israelis point to the 2015 elections which he won with the alleged support of his corrupt media mogul involved in his criminal charges. But he was okay because he was in power and he was able to leverage that power to protect himself and his friends. But now in 2021 he was out with mainstream Israeli politics. He had become a pariah and lost his support as a central figure in Israeli politics. And so he looked around for allies and he found them in the furthest extreme Israeli rightwing where Jewish supremacists, settler colonialists, genocidal terrorists had all been waiting for their day in power. And BB decided that given the choice between facing his charges and probably going to prison or taking Israel down a genocidal, racist and supremacist path, he chose the latter. He chose to go to any length to retake power and escape prison. Now meet Itar Bengavir and Bezel Smootrich. Two of the most prominent and clear examples of the path that Netanyahu has taken his country down. Both live in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen land in the West Bank. Both have participated in and support Jewish terrorism in the past. They represent the most fervent fascist religious extremism of the Israeli right-wing. They represent the beliefs of many Jewish supremacists in Israel that the Palestinian people should be eliminated and ethnically cleansed at any cost. That they are [ __ ] and not deserving of the same rights as Jews. And now they have a strangle hold over Benjamin Netanyahu. Even if he wanted out of the toxic relationship, which there's not necessarily indication that he does, but because they represent the right-wing coalition that elected him, if Netanyahu doesn't appease them, he will almost surely lose his position and maybe be locked up. Smootrich not only lives in an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank, but he actually lives outside of its borders as an active expansion of that settlement, which is a great metaphor for his political and religious perspective. He was literally arrested in 2005 for being a Jewish terrorist, though the investigation never pursued charges. The Jerusalem Post reports that as finance minister, he is working to cut off the Palestinian Authority from Israel's financial system. He is using his authority to stop transferring tax payments that belong to the Palestinian Authority and continues to prevent the return of Palestinian workers to Israel. Together with his partners in the government and against recommendations of all security officials. As a result of these actions, the security forces are now alerting about the collapse of the Palestinian Authority and the dire consequences for Israel security if such a scenario takes place. The economic strangulation of the Palestinian Authority carried out by the Israeli government occurs while money from Iran continues to flow to the West Bank with the aim of promoting terrorist attacks. Smotrich is not stupid. The Jerusalem Post reports he understands the security dangers in the collapse of the Palestinian Authorities economy, but this is exactly his goal. His ideological partner, National Security Minister Itar Bengavir, also supports the vision of chaos driven by Iran and the efforts to weaken the Palestinian Authority. During Jerusalem Day celebrations, Bengavir stated that his policy is that Jews would be allowed to carry out religious rituals on the Holy Temple Mount. This is the faction that dreams of the day when they can destroy the Alaka mosque and rebuild the Jewish temple on the Temple Mount, which is the symbolic center of the global religious conflict between Judaism and Islam. That course of action would almost certainly spell global war, quite likely nuclear in nature. And both of these men are intentionally stoking dissent, stoking division, and stoking chaos in the West Bank because they know that more terrorism, more chaos, more destabilization, though it leads to more violence, it also leads to opportunity. Itar Bengavir spoke openly in support of the assassination of the prime minister of Israel, Yeetszak Rabbin, who signed the Oslo Accord peace treaties with the Palestinians. Here's a clip from the documentary to fill it in. When it comes to Benvir, he supported the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin when he was a youngster. He was once filmed holding a hood emblem he claimed was from the car of former Israeli Prime Minister Yeetszak Rabin, an architect of the Israeli Palestinian peace process. And you managed to snatch the emblem from Rabin's car. The emblem is a symbol and it symbolized that just like we got to the emblem, we can get to Rabine as well. I think one is justified in committing horrible acts against him. A Jewish extremist assassinated Rabine 3 weeks later. Ben, he was not recruited to military service because he was condemned in court as one who support Jewish terror. He's the follower of a racist movement and wants to expel what he calls disloyal Arabs. I love Israel and I love all the jihad. Why do you want to they won't kill me and kill you? The jihadist in occupied East Jerusalem. He pulled out his gun calling for Palestinians who throw stones to be shot. He see violence as a legitimate action. These are people that Netanyahu would not agree to take picture with just two three years ago. But now Smrich is the minister of finance and Ben is the minister of national security. Yeah. If you don't know about the time when Jewish extremists killed their own prime minister for daring to take action towards peace, oh boy is that a rabbit hole. And it's a rabbit hole that led directly to Netanyahu's first election as prime minister, then Jeffrey Epstein's buddy Ahoud Barack through 2001. And anyways, I'm getting distracted. That's a different episode. Bengavir was also a member of the Cootch Party based on cahanism. And the Kaj party was actually outlawed in Israel and the US State Department designated a foreign terrorist organization. It's based on the theology of Mayor Kahane who founded the Jewish Defense League which was a Jewish terrorist organization operating in the US and Canada to quote protect Jews from anti-semitism by whatever means necessary. Those means included bombing Arab and Soviet properties in the United States and assassinating a number of people they deemed to be enemies of the Jewish people. For anyone curious, there's a whole rabbit hole of how the JDL was involved in the murder of Tupac and extortion of several rap artists, including including Tupac and Easy E. There was an FBI investigation that fell flat and a whole bunch of Jewish monster stuff tied in. That is a wild story to dig into. But anyways, Netanyahu allies with Smootrich and Ben Gavir wins the election in December of 2022 and then in the first week they begin to undermine the power of the Supreme Court in Israel. I'm going to take it back to a clip to explain this a little better. This man is now the minister that is controlling the police and he is bringing his racist violent ideology in all the policing system inside Israel. Smart would do ethnic cleansing based on his published plan. [Music] That's BB's governing coalition. for them Benville Mr. They have a zero interest in the corruption cases because Netanyao is the messiah's donkey. He can bring us all our fantasies, all our dreams, our vision to annex Judea and Sumeriia to kill one time and for all the idea of Palestinian state. So what happened in 2023? What was the difference between 273 and the 20 years that came before? Only one thing. The Supreme Court. And real quick, I want to before we get too far into this, I just want to make clear what they just said. These guys, the right-wing factions they represent, they were not considered political contenders. They were not considered part of the political norm. They were the fringe until BB brought them in. And the moment they get in, this is what they do in order to codify that win, in order to start to change the nature of democracy in Israel. The Supreme Court was perceived by his partners, the bank viewers, the smitches as the rival of what they want to achieve. Because if you are an annexationist, the Supreme Court might stop you. So you need to castrate the Supreme Court from being able to stop you. At the same time, Netanyahu realized judicial reform could be a way to legislate his way out of his legal predicament. Just out of the little legal predicament. And so, one week after Netanyahu returns to power, with the help of the supremacist far right, they take active steps to undermine Israel's democracy. Protests break out in the streets again with renewed vigor. Violence escalates, spurred on by Ben Gavir's insane zealatry in command of the police force. And the situation quickly grows to a fever pitch throughout 2023. And then that's when, tragically, but conveniently for BB, Hamas attacks on October 7th. The documentary does a great job of showing the actual footage of the attacks to remind us all how brutal it was. They don't embellish it with any kind of questionable stories like hundreds of beheaded babies or babies found in ovens or all kinds of crazy mass rapes. They they just show the footage, which is horrific enough without propaganda or lies embellishing the facts. And as soon as Israel is under threat, the entire country comes together and shifts dramatically towards the right-wing. Suddenly, the focus is no longer on Netanyahu, no longer on his assault on Israeli democracy. Now, the existential threat is Hamas. Despite the fact that Netanyahu propped up and facilitated millions of dollars of funding for Hamas for years, specifically to keep the Gaza Strip destabilized, his own IDF ordered their helicopters to fire indiscriminately on vehicles returning to the Gaza Strip, likely killing dozens or even hundreds of Israeli civilians and potential hostages that were in and around those cars. It came out later that Netanyahu's intelligence services had known of the attack in advance, too. and they had not acted on that intelligence. In fact, they had coincidentally moved two full companies of IDF commandos away from the Gaza border just 2 days before the attacks, which I'm sure was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with their extremely advanced intelligence services knowing about the attacks in advance. And then when the investigation into what really happened on October 7th got too hot, the court that BB was in the process of strangling ordered a suspension of the investigation. Nothing to see here. Are you getting the picture yet? Because if you're not, the documentary makes a point of showing in graphic detail the destruction that was subsequently reaped upon the Palestinians. By the end of the sequence, you can't help but feel the plight of both peoples and rage for the corruption and immorality that led to this whole situation. And that is why this documentary is so important because it makes it plain for everyone to see that this is a more complex issue than just the Jews versus the Palestinians. It's more complex than just Israel is evil, more complex than blaming an entire group of people for the world's problems. Israel is being prayed upon by a parasite. It is infected by the fringe extremist ideology of Jewish supremacy that has been a significant but not always controlling mindset in Israeli politics until recently. And now that mindset, that disease is walking the whole world past one after the next point of no return. This war has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians at the hands of a US-backed and armed military which is led by Jewish terrorists that openly state their intentions to ethnically cleanse Gaza and all of Palestine. Netanyahu is so corrupted and absorbed by his own self-preservation that he will go along with just about anything that ensures he holds on to power. Protests have resumed in the streets over his handling of the war and his apparent indifference to the lives of the hostages still held by Hamas more than a year and a half later. The head of the Shinbet, similar to Israel's FBI, resigned a few months ago, stating that he believed Netanyahu was dictatorial and power crazed. He claimed that it was clear that if there were to be a constitutional crisis, Netanyahu would expect him to obey the prime minister and not the courts and that Netanyahu had asked him to use the Shinbet to spy on Israeli citizens that participated in and supported the protests. Netanyahu denied the allegations exactly as he has with every other allegation. Because if there is one thing that Netanyahu is good at, it is acting. He's good at acting however he needs to act in order to escape justice for one more day. To hold on to power for one more day. To delay the inevitable one more day. But the inevitable is coming. This documentary is spreading the truth all throughout Israel and all around the world. And so now I'm going to tell you where to find it so you can watch it, too.

All right, so about where to watch this documentary. Unfortunately, BB got his way and had it taken down off all major streaming platforms, but I found it still available from the producers on their website. And you should support the producers by going to their website. It's linked in the description below. You can use this URL there. You can click on stream now which was in the bottom left there and it'll take you to the film that is streamed through Jolt. You can pay for a ticket and support the brave men and women that made this film. They made it at great personal expense and risk and they have done an immeasurable service to the world and for the price of about a Big Mac meal. You can vote your support for them. This is obviously not a paid promotion that I'm doing. I have no affiliation with this film. This is just the truth and it matters. It matters to everyone all around the world because whether we like it or not, Israel is pulling the entire globe into this conflict. Our own politicians are pulling us into this conflict by funding it, endorsing it, and passing speech laws in America if you question it. And the ultimate tragedy of this genocide is that in many ways, it's only possible because this one cowardly evil man would rather watch the whole world burn than face the consequences of his corruption. He would rather tear down Israel's democratic system, the only democracy in the Middle East. He would rather let his own people remain in Hamas captivity. Rather let his own people continue to die in war, his own economy crumble, his own nation and people's goodwill evaporate all around the world than face justice. Benjamin Netanyahu has opened the gates to the most vile supremacist fascist wing of Judaism to take power in Israel and to slaughter Palestinian men, women, and children. He has opened Pandora's box and crossed a line we will never return from. And he's doing it all just to save his own pathetic skin. But his cowardice is being used by extremists in Israel to achieve their own messianic goals. It's being used by deep sters around the world to profit off another forever war. It's being used by the surveillance state to test their dystopian technologies. And it's being used by the ruling class to further divide the people. Ultimately, I hope that we can move this conversation to a mature enough place where Jewish people around the world can have a bit of a reckoning with the reality of their national project, the reality of how their own religion can harbor extremist views just like the Arabs that they are so quick to point the finger at. No group of people is beyond criticism. No group is exempt from the wickedness of humanity's darkest tendencies. And Jewish people face a unique and difficult reckoning. If Jewish people want to maintain a strong sense of national identity and unity, what happens when members of your tribe commit atrocities for corrupt reasons and then turn the world against you? When Jewish people group up around that identity, what happens when people notice and say, "Jewish people are conspiring against the rest of the world." How do you reconcile these things? If Jewish people are going to maintain such a strong global identity, to me, it seems that the burden falls to them to a certain degree to hold all other Jews to the highest moral standard. Or else, how can you blame people for collectively blaming Jews when it is Jews who group up collectively and defend the actions of a man like Netanyahu at any cost? And I know a lot of Jews don't do that. A lot of Jews think critically and are outspoken about the corruption in Israel and the insanity of its current course of action. The way that I see it, just me. All Jews are individuals and they should be treated as such. I would encourage Jews not to treat Israel as an infallible project. Israel has committed many atrocities and has much to answer for. Tying your identity to a corrupt government is a horrible idea. As an American, my job is to loudly criticize my government for its crimes, and I call for it to do better. I would invite Jewish people to do the same for theirs. Because with every dead Palestinian child, the world turns more and more against Israel and those who stand with her. Violence and hate only begets more violence and hate. It was that cycle of violence that got us into this mess, and the only way out of it is with BB behind bars. Anyways, that's all for today.
