The GOP Presidential Debate Is Livestreaming on Rumble, Home to White Nationalist Nick Fuentes: What Has It Been Done Recently?
There will be a third GOP presidential primary debate tonight. Antisemitic incidents in the US have risen by 400 percent since the Israel-Hamas war erupted, and the event was sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) is working with NBC to broadcast the debate on TV, but the debate will also be live streamed on the alternative video website, dubbed “Rumble”, which the Southern Poverty Law Center says is home to one of America’s most notorious white
Over the course of a single week in October, the Israel-Hamas conflict has been used by Fuentes to spread antisemitic hate speech and Holocaust denial conspiracy theories on his channel. Since Hamas attacked Israel, the audience has gained thousands of followers, and Fuentes has praised Rumble for reviving it.
“I think the show is bigger than it’s been in a really long time,” Fuentes told his more than 40,000 viewers last week during one of his frequent livestreams on the platform. “If you look at the viewership on Rumble, it’s crazy. The replays are insane and I haven’t seen anything like them in a long time.

Israel Is In Real Danger For Three Reasons – The New York Times ”Real Danger for three reasons”
The Groyper movement is led by a white nationalist named ‘Fuentes’. He attended the neo-Nazi Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017, has openly praised Hitler, and repeatedly denied the Holocaust. He has also had dinner with former president Donald Trump.
First, Israel is facing threats from a set of enemies who combine medieval theocratic worldviews with 21st century weaponry — and are no longer organized as small bands of militiamen, but as modern armies with brigades, battalions, cyber capabilities, long-range rockets, drones and technical support. I am speaking about Iranian-backed Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic militias in Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen — and now even the openly Hamas-embracing Vladimir Putin. The enemies that have existed for a long time appeared together like dragons during the conflict, threatening to make Israel fight a war all over again.
I am stunned by how many Israelis now feel this danger personally, no matter where they live — starting with a friend who lives in Jerusalem telling me that she and her husband just got gun licenses to have pistols at home. No one is going to snatch their children and take them into a tunnel. Hamas, alas, has tunneled fear into many, many Israeli heads far from the Gaza border.
On Sunday I drove down to a hotel on the Dead Sea to meet some of the hundreds of surviving members of Kibbutz Be’eri, which had some 1,200 residents, including 360 children. It was one of the communities hardest hit by the Hamas onslaught — suffering more than 130 murders in addition to scores of injured and multiple kidnappings of children and elderly. Most survivors of the kibbutz have been moved to the Dead Sea, where they are starting their own schools.
If Israel is ready to engage in a wartime diplomatic effort directed at the Palestinian’s in the West Bank, and if Palestinian officials agree to discuss two-state solutions, President Biden can help Israel make up for its lack of support.
How Israelis are escaping from Gaza? The story of a kirayat Shmona man who fled the border with Lebanon in solidarity with Hamas
Kirayat Shmona is an important town on the border with Lebanon. That father said his family had fled the northern fence line with thousands of other Israeli families after the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia and Palestinian militias in southern Lebanon began lobbing rockets and artillery and making incursions in solidarity with Hamas.
When might they go back? They had no idea. Like more than 200,000 other Israelis, they have taken refuge with friends or in hotels all across this small country of nine million people. And it has only taken a few weeks for Israelis to begin driving up real estate prices in seemingly safer central Israeli towns. That is the only thing that is accomplished for Hezbollah. Along with Hamas, they are managing to shrink Israel.
Liat Admati, the survivor of the Hamas attack who ran a facial cosmetics clinic for 11 years in Be’eri, gave me information about how it would be possible for her to return to her childhood home in Gaza.
“The main thing for me to go back is to feel safe,” she said. “Before this situation I felt I have trust in the army. I feel that the trust is broken. People who can do this again are behind this fence and I don’t want them to feel that we are covering ourselves in shelters all the time. I really don’t know at this point what the solution is.”
She and her neighbors put in safe rooms because they thought the threat was rockets but now, after Hamas burned parents and children in their safe rooms, who knows what is safe? “The safe room was designed to keep you safe from rockets — not from another human who would come and kill you for who you are,” she said. She concluded that the most depressing thing was that some people in Gaza gave Hamas maps of the kibbutz layout.
The Times of Israel published an audio recording of a young man who had just killed a woman and wanted to call his parents.
I killed a lot with my own hands. An English translation says that he says that his son killed Jews. “Mom, your son is a hero,” he later adds. His parents can be heard seemingly rejoicing.
The homemade sign I saw on a sidewalk in Jerusalem explained the chilling exuberance of Israel, which was built so that such a thing could never happen.
The conflict is returning to its primordial roots, and it is biblical. This seems to be a time of eyes for eyes and teeth for teeth. The policy thinking is going to have to wait for the mourning after.
Really? Consider this context: “According to Israel’s official Central Bureau of Statistics, at the end of 2021, 9.449 million people live in Israel (including Israelis in West Bank settlements), the Times of Israel reported last year. A total of 7.791 million are Jewish, 21 million are Arabs and 472,000 are neither. The West Bank has three million Palestinians, while the Gaza population is two million, according to the Bureau of Statistics.
Netanyahu says seven million Jews will indefinitely control the lives of five million Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, while also offering no political horizon, anything, in return for statehood one day.
In the middle of a war, Netanyahu stabbed his army and intelligence chiefs in the back with a knife. “I was wrong,” he wrote, adding that “the things I said following the press conference should not have been said, and I apologize for that. I fully support the heads of [Israel’s] security services.”
But the damage was done. How much do you suppose those military leaders trust what Netanyahu will say if the Gaza campaign stalls? What leader would start a war of survival that way?
The leader of this society is not as good as this one. It is terrible that a war took so long to drive that home. The founder of Brothers in Arms is a retired member of Israel’s most elite special forces unit. Brothers in Arms immediately started organizing aid workers and reserve soldiers to get to the front, because the incompetent government couldn’t do it.
The story shows how much solidarity is still in this place and how much could be unlocked by a different prime minister who was a uniter not a divider. Or as Scherf put it to me: “When you go to the front, you are overwhelmed by the power of what we lost.”
