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?

After False Dawns, Gazans Hope Trump Will Force End to Two-Year-Old War

Exhausted Palestinians in Gaza clung to hopes on Saturday that US President Donald Trump would keep up pressure on Israel to end a two-year-old war that has killed tens of thousands and displaced the entire population of more than two million.
Hamas’ declaration that it was ready to hand over hostages and accept some terms of Trump’s plan to end the conflict while calling for more talks on several key issues was greeted with relief in the enclave, where most homes are now in ruins.
“It’s happy news, it saves those who are still alive,” said 32-year-old Saoud Qarneyta, reacting to Hamas’ response and Trump’s intervention. “This is enough. Houses have been damaged, everything has been damaged, what is left? Nothing.”
GAZAN RESIDENT HOPES ‘WE WILL BE DONE WITH WARS’
Ismail Zayda, 40, a father of three, displaced from a suburb in northern Gaza City where Israel launched a full-scale ground operation last month, said: “We want President Trump to keep pushing for an end to the war, if this chance is lost, it means that Gaza City will be destroyed by Israel and we might not survive.
“Enough, two years of bombardment, death and starvation. Enough,” he told Reuters on a social media chat.
“God willing this will be the last war. We will hopefully be done with the wars,” said 59-year-old Ali Ahmad, speaking in one of the tented camps where most Palestinians now live.
“We urge all sides not to backtrack. Every day of delay costs lives in Gaza, it is not just time wasted, lives get wasted too,” said Tamer Al-Burai, a Gaza City businessman displaced with members of his family in central Gaza Strip.
After two previous ceasefires — one near the start of the war and another earlier this year — lasted only a few weeks, he said; “I am very optimistic this time, maybe Trump’s seeking to be remembered as a man of peace, will bring us real peace this time.”
RESIDENT WORRIES THAT NETANYAHU WILL ‘SABOTAGE’ DEAL
Some voiced hopes of returning to their homes, but the Israeli military issued a fresh warning to Gazans on Saturday to stay out of Gaza City, describing it as a “dangerous combat zone.”
Gazans have faced previous false dawns during the past two years, when Trump and others declared at several points during on-off negotiations between Hamas, Israel and Arab and US mediators that a deal was close, only for war to rage on.
“Will it happen? Can we trust Trump? Maybe we trust Trump, but will Netanyahu abide this time? He has always sabotaged everything and continued the war. I hope he ends it now,” said Aya, 31, who was displaced with her family to Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
She added: “Maybe there is a chance the war ends at October 7, two years after it began.”

Mass Rally in Rome on Fourth Day of Italy’s Pro-Palestinian Protests

Large crowds assembled in central Rome on Saturday for the fourth straight day of protests in Italy since Israel intercepted an international flotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza, and detained its activists.
People holding banners and Palestinian flags, chanting “Free Palestine” and other slogans, filed past the Colosseum, taking part in a march that organizers hoped would attract at least 1 million people.
“I’m here with a lot of other friends because I think it is important for us all to mobilize individually,” Francesco Galtieri, a 65-year-old musician from Rome, said. “If we don’t all mobilize, then nothing will change.”
Since Israel started blocking the flotilla late on Wednesday, protests have sprung up across Europe and in other parts of the world, but in Italy they have been a daily occurrence, in multiple cities.
On Friday, unions called a general strike in support of the flotilla, with demonstrations across the country that attracted more than 2 million, according to organizers. The interior ministry estimated attendance at around 400,000.
Italy’s right-wing government has been critical of the protests, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni suggesting that people would skip work for Gaza just as an excuse for a longer weekend break.
On Saturday, Meloni blamed protesters for insulting graffiti that appeared on a statue of the late Pope John Paul II outside Rome’s main train station, where Pro-Palestinian groups have been holding a protest picket.
“They say they are taking to the streets for peace, but then they insult the memory of a man who was a true defender and builder of peace. A shameful act committed by people blinded by ideology,” she said in a statement.
Israel launched its Gaza offensive after Hamas terrorists staged a cross border attack on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 people hostage.
