WTF is going on in the UK? | Asmongold TV

A video of a UK rapper chanting "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and calling for the death of IDF soldiers has been circulating online, and Asmongold's reaction to it spirals into a much darker prediction. He doesn't spend much time on the song itself — he calls it repetitive and embarrassing — but the real concern, he argues, is what this kind of rhetoric signals about where Europe is heading. The central claim of the episode is that when societies allow violent extremist speech from one direction while suppressing it from another, they create the conditions for a violent backlash that will be far worse than anything people are imagining.

The double standard argument

Asmongold is surprised the rapper hasn't faced legal consequences. The UK has strict hate speech laws, and he notes that criticizing Islam can get you jailed there. Yet here is someone calling for death to a group — IDF soldiers — and the song is circulating without apparent repercussions. "It's okay if it's not them," he says, pointing to what he sees as a one-way street: certain groups are protected, others are not. He contrasts this with how he believes the same rhetoric directed at other groups would be treated. The inconsistency, in his view, is not just unfair — it's dangerous, because it signals to people that the system is rigged.
