AI Summary
5 min readOn November 27, 2024, a man threw Molotov cocktails at a group gathered near a menorah in New York City, setting a Holocaust survivor on fire. The attacker, an Egyptian national named Mohammed Solomon, shouted "Free Palestine" as he did it. In this episode, Asmongold and his co-host react to the attack and the broader political response, arguing that the Free Palestine movement is being defined by its refusal to condemn its most violent actors, and that this attack is a direct consequence of failed immigration and sanctuary city policies.

The backdrop was a Pride flag, which one host calls a "tremendous irony." They are furious that CNN analysts and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe went on air questioning why the FBI was calling it terrorism. As one host puts it: "The guy clearly said that he was targeting a certain group. He wanted to end the Jewish state." They contrast this with the Israeli ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, who said plainly: "This is not a political protester. This is a terrorist."
