Popular Podcast Says There Is Evidence to ‘Conclude’ Israel Killed JFK — Will YouTube Act?

Most Jews have stopped watching Candace Owens because of her antisemitic language, and her hatred for Jews and Israel. She’s also been one of the only people to call Jack Ruby (the man who shot Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV) Jack Rubinstein. That was his real name, but Owens says the full name to attempt to link the Mossad or Jews to the killing of Kennedy with no evidence.
The PBD podcast, which has more than 2.5 million subscribers, is always an entertaining watch because the host, Patrick Bet-David, asks interesting questions and gets amazing guests. The man who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars knows very little about Israel, as one can see whenever the subject comes up. That’s fine. One does not have to be an expert on everything.
With news of the release of thousands of documents relating to the JFK assassination, on a recent episode, co-host Vinnie Oshana, who I give credit to for serving as an American soldier, but also knows little about foreign affairs, jumped in to say that he saw a different podcast where it was said that if you were looking to have a certain view, there was enough in the files to back it up.
Oshana said, “If you thought Israel was responsible — guess what, there is enough in there for somebody to have the conclusion that Israel … If you wanted to point the finger at Israel, there is enough proof in here.”
To his credit, Bet-David asked Oshana what document suggested that. Of course, Oshana didn’t know or cite anything.
The guest, comedian Andrew Schulz (who is not Jewish), said he didn’t care much about the JFK files. He said while there are a lot of theories, there isn’t much that is definitive.
Out of nowhere, Oshana brought up Ben Shapiro, criticizing him for not sufficiently caring about the JFK files and then brought up the attempted assassination of President Trump, prompting Schulz to ask if he was suggesting Jews were involved in attempting to kill Trump. Of course, Oshana said no because that would be a bridge to far. The real point (other than dog whistling antisemites for clicks and views) was to try to hurt Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew who is the co-founder of The Daily Wire, and is at the top of the food chain is conservative media.
On his own podcast, Schulz criticized Shapiro for firing Candace Owens, despite her despicable comments, and Bet-David basically copied what Schulz said, saying similar things on his podcast at the time.
While working through hypotheticals, Bet-David threw out, again with no evidence, “say it comes out that actually Israel was involved. What does it change for you?”
Schulz said that it would fracture the relationship between Israel and America. He also said one should be able to criticize Israel — which anyone is able to do.
Schulz mentioned that America “nuked Japan” but we are friendly now.
“I don’t know if Israel’s got something as good as sushi,” prompting Bet-David’s Jewish co-host to say in a Jewish accent, “we have the bagels.”
Not funny, especially at a time of rising antisemitism.
I didn’t hear any of them saying “the Palestinians” wanted to kill RFK, even though Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian, was convicted of the shooting of RFK. I’m glad they didn’t present that conspiracy theory — but why, then, did they only push a conspiracy theory about Israel?
Patrick Bet-David, I have a question for you: did you flee from Iran, where they spread conspiracy theories about Jews, so you could come to America, and allow conspiracy theories about Jews to be spread on your show?

‘With or Without Russia’s Help’: Iran Pledges to Block South Caucasus Route Opened Up By Peace Deal

i24 News – Iran will block the establishment of a US-backed transit corridor in the South Caucasus region with or without Moscow’s help, a senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader was quoted as saying on Saturday by the Iran International website, one day after the historic peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
“Mr. Trump thinks the Caucasus is a piece of real estate he can lease for 99 years,” Ali Akbar Velayati said of the so-called Zangezur corridor, the establishment of which is stipulated in the peace deal unveiled on Friday by US President Donald Trump. The White House said the transit route would facilitate greater exports of energy and other resources.
“This passage will not become a gateway for Trump’s mercenaries — it will become their graveyard,” the Khamenei advisor added.
Baku and Yerevan have been at loggerheads since the late 1980s when Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous Azerbaijani region mostly populated by ethnic Armenians, broke away from Azerbaijan with support from Armenia. Azerbaijan took back full control of the region in 2023, prompting or forcing almost all of the territory’s 100,000 ethnic Armenians to flee to Armenia.
Yet that painful history was put to the side on Friday at the White House, as Trump oversaw a signing ceremony, flanked by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
The peace deal with Azerbaijan—a pro-Western ally of Israel—is expected to pull Armenia out of the Russian and Iranian sphere of influence and could transform the South Caucasus, an energy-producing region neighboring Russia, Europe, Turkey and Iran.

UK Police Arrest 150 at Protest for Banned Palestine Action Group

London’s Metropolitan Police said on Saturday it had arrested 150 people at a protest against Britain’s decision to ban the group Palestine Action, adding it was making further arrests.
Officers made arrests after crowds, waving placards expressing support for the group, gathered in Parliament Square, the force said on X.
Protesters, some wearing black and white Palestinian scarves, chanted “shame on you” and “hands off Gaza,” and held signs such as “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action,” video taken by Reuters at the scene showed.
In July, British lawmakers banned Palestine Action under anti-terrorism legislation after some of its members broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged planes in protest against Britain’s support for Israel.
The ban makes it a crime to be a member of the group, carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.
The co-founder of Palestine Action, Huda Ammori, last week won a bid to bring a legal challenge against the ban.

‘No Leniency’: Iran Announces Arrest of 20 ‘Zionist Agents’

i24 News – Iranian authorities have in recent months arrested 20 people charged with being “Israeli Mossad operatives,” the judiciary said, adding that the Islamic regime will mete out the harshest punishments.
“The judiciary will show no leniency toward spies and agents of the Zionist regime, and with firm rulings, will make an example of them all,” spokesperson Asghar Jahangiri told Iranian media. However, it is understood that an unspecified number of detainees were released, apparently after the charges against them could not be substantiated.
The Islamic Republic was left reeling by a devastating 12-day war with Israel earlier in the summer that left a significant proportion of its military arsenal in ruins and dealt a serious setback to its uranium enrichment program. The fallout included an uptick in executions of Iranians convicted of spying for Israel, with at least eight death sentences carried out in recent months. Hit with international sanctions, the country is in dire economic straights, with frequent energy outages and skyrocketing unemployment.
In recent weeks Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi affirmed that Tehran cannot give up on its nuclear enrichment program even as it was severely damaged during the war.
“It is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe. But obviously we cannot give up of enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride,” the official told Fox News.
