Episode 440, The Andrew Parker Show - October 7 and the Global Misinformation War Against Israel

In Episode 440 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker confronts the growing wave of global misinformation shaping public opinion about Israel, Hamas, and the so-called “Free Palestine” movement. He traces the origins of the campaign to delegitimize Israel—from Yasser Arafat’s shift from failed military conquest to world-opinion warfare—to today’s slogans, social media narratives, and ideological alliances that distort history and facts.

Andrew walks listeners through the true historical record, including the 1947 Partition Plan, the repeated Arab rejection of sovereign statehood, and the reality that Israel has consistently offered coexistence while facing relentless campaigns aimed at its destruction. He exposes how Hamas—an Iranian-backed terror organization—launched a just war on October 7, targeting civilians and continuing to sacrifice both Israelis and Palestinians to its extremist agenda.

The episode also examines key “inconvenient truths” ignored in mainstream coverage: Israel’s extraordinary efforts to minimize civilian casualties, the historically low combatant-to-civilian casualty ratio in dense urban warfare, the unprecedented delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and the fact that Palestinians living in Israel enjoy full citizenship and civil rights not available to Jews in neighboring Arab states.

Andrew closes with a hard look at the moral foundation of Israel’s fight—not as colonial aggression, but as a defense of freedom, democracy, and Judeo-Christian values against an enemy dedicated to annihilation and terror.

This episode challenges listeners to step beyond slogans and confront reality—no matter how uncomfortable the truth may be.

Episode 440 Transcript

Andrew Parker (00:02)

Welcome to another episode of the Andrew Parker show. I very much appreciate and thank you for joining us. This is episode. I think it's like 440. And. I want to talk about.

the fact that millions, maybe hundreds of millions of people around the world believe as fact blatant unadulterated falsehoods.

dishonest lies about the facts.

But yet they believe them. Maybe they want to believe.

Or maybe it is just the onslaught of information.

that is spewed about.

on the web and in different sources of technology.

Allowing.

this sewage of information to be spread. And what I'm talking about is the free Palestine movement.

⁓ Certainly the Arab world has wrapped its arms around it and has created it. came out of, I would argue, the early years of the creation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and Yasser Arafat. Arafat, for many years, attempted to achieve his objectives through military conquest, through military battle.

and lost repeatedly.

as did the Arab nations in trying to join in to destroy the State of Israel, the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people.

And then Arafat got smart and he decided we will be able to destroy the Jewish state, maybe not physically, militarily, ⁓ but through world opinion. The world will view Israel as illegitimate, as a pariah unto the world.

and Israel will become isolated and will.

be destroyed from within.

While that has not happened, that movement has in a much greater degree threatened the state of Israel than the previous strategy of military conquest.

And the Free Palestine movement today now has taken on many, many new friends. The communists.

the people who view the world through the lens of oppressor and oppressed.

as if the Jewish people now suddenly are oppressors.

oppressors. And people go, well, they are, you know, they're strong. They've got this huge country with all these people. And of course, they don't know that it is a little sliver of land with very few, relatively speaking, people.

and they are oppressing the Palestinians. No, in fact, Palestinians were offered their own country, free and clear of any Jews, even though Jews invite in Palestinian Arabs, non-Jews, Muslims, fully into their country with all rights.

that any other citizen has.

But in 1947, the Palestinian Arabs, the Muslims, were offered their own country. The Israelis accepted the partition plan, even though it was made up of a few enclaves of land that were hardly connected to one another. And it would make for a very difficult both

economic and political structure

⁓ they accepted it but the palestinian arabs and muslims did not instead launched war immediately

You can't forget about that. That's not a small fact. It is a critical fact.

They want the destruction of the land of Israel and they've shown it five times since when they have been offered even larger portions of land compared to the partition plan in 1947. And more contiguous portions of land as well.

and they have turned it down each and every time.

Perhaps the largest and

number of concessions given were during Bill Clinton's years and Clinton determined after that he was lied to repeatedly by Yasser Arafat.

That this was not about land and it has never been about land remember from 1948 to 1967 for all of those years This land was controlled much of it

by the Arabs. And they didn't create a Palestinian state. In fact, there wasn't this movement to create a Palestinian state for the vast majority of that time period. No, it only arose

After 1967 in the main in the main

And lastly, remember this free Palestine lie because Palestinians are and have been citizens of the state of Israel unlike any of the other Arab countries who have booted out for the most part all Jews from their borders.

They have removed them. Unlike that, in Israel, Palestinian Arabs, Muslims are, ⁓ if citizens, ⁓ carrying the same rights as everyone else. ⁓

But remember, and celebrating the birth of...

⁓ a Jewish baby a few thousand years a couple thousand years ago Coming up in a few weeks when I say we am talking about a Couple billion people around the world celebrating this Jewish baby's birth in Bethlehem

a part of the land

And, ⁓

Yet there are many that say...

The Jews were not there. They weren't. Billions believe it.

But at the same time, say, no, this isn't the Jews' land. Well, but it is. It's their ancestral homeland. They are the indigenous people of this land. So when we say, when you hear it, free Palestine, it was the Jews who were Palestinians for many, many years.

Remember, the whole phrase or the term Palestinian or Palestine was a made up term. There was no such peoples. There was never been any such country ever. ⁓ The Romans created the term. And again, as we know, Jews were who they were referring to.

Palestinian passports, Jews carry.

They were the Palestinians, the indigenous people.

So when you say free Palestine, you really could only be referring to the Jews as the indigenous people of that land. And that is the truth. It's an inconvenient truth. In fact,

Many of the facts regarding what has gone on over last couple of years are inconvenient truths, really. They don't go along with the messaging of destroying the state of Israel, of boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, of delegitimizing Israel as a colonialist power. There couldn't be a less colonialist power than the state of Israel.

other than its land, which it has inhabited for thousands of years, well before Islam ever existed. Well before.

Islam ever existed, Jews lived as the indigenous people in this land, in the very same land we're talking about, although only a portion of it. If we're talking about the full amount of the land, it is much larger than the current state of Israel.

What are the other inconvenient truths that just don't go along with the narrative? But they are truths. First, remember, October 7th was a war.

Launched by Hamas.

And Hamas are Palestinian Arabs.

Muslims.

They are supported by Iran. They are a proxy, an arm of Iran who wish and take action to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. And they launched war on October 7th. That is a very important fact. It is a contextual fact.

And the Arab world continues, although they put pressure on Hamas to end hostilities, Hamas continues.

to kill. They killed on October 7th, horrifically, to the point where you can't even watch the video that they took in such great pride for their actions.

You can't even watch it. These are real people, kids, murdered in cold blood. And Hamas continues to kill.

They continue on their ⁓ dedication to kill Jews wherever they are. Hasn't changed. Hasn't changed one bit. Donald Trump's so-called peace plan hasn't changed anything.

other than hostilities on the ground have lessened but they're not gone they're just waiting for the next day and is that what we want out of the horrific tragedy that has occurred over the last two years

We wanted to return to where it was.

so that in a few years from now, it gets repeated over and over again. Hamas, remember, has promised with Iran's backing.

and maybe others backing, maybe ⁓ turkey.

We'll support it next time.

They have promised to repeat and repeat and repeat.

So October 7 war launched by Hamas. Hamas killed people and is continuing to kill them including Palestinians. Talk about oppressed. Who is the oppressor of Palestinians? Hamas is the oppressor of Palestinians. Fatah and the corruption of the Palestinian Authority is the oppressor of Palestinians. A, it is not Israel's responsibility, but B, even though it isn't they still take it on.

And they provide electricity, water, infrastructure, and they have been for years, years and years. I dare say no country in Western Europe would have done it, and the United States probably wouldn't have.

against the arch enemy who carried out October 7th or in support of them.

Next, Inconvenient Truth.

Israel countered this launch of a war with.

extreme restraint.

They could have wiped out all of Gaza, all the people in Gaza, easily and quickly, and many people would have said they had the very right to do it after what happened coming out of Gaza.

They could have been far more indiscriminate.

And how do we know this? The combatant to civilian ratio. It is accepted now that it is one of the lowest combatant or civilian to combatant death ratio in human warfare, in urban human warfare. And this is not just any urban area. This isn't one of the most densely populated anywhere.

and it has hundreds of miles of tunnels underneath, underneath schools and mosques and hospitals and apartment buildings. And yet the civilian to combatant ratio is one of the lowest in human history. How is that possible?

if there were a genocide going on. Because there was no genocide going on. It is a blatant falsehood. It is not even being repeated as much as it used to be. These people in the street lie. They repeat it so often, though, you think, well, there's gotta be some truth to it. And there are good-hearted people, intelligent people, who think that way. Well, there must be something to it. There is nothing to it, zero.

Nothing. It's a lie. Bald-faced lie. Blatant, unadulterated lie.

and it is a theme continuing to flow.

from the strategy of Yasser Arafat to delegitimize the state of Israel. And the Western Europeans will lap it up.

They support it, they go after it. ⁓ we gotta reward Palestinians with pushing, you know, now recognizing a Palestinian state. They murdered and heinously.

mutilated Jewish kids.

now let's give them a uh... uh... palestinian state

so that they can launch more terror attacks. haven't changed one iota. They haven't changed their call for the death of Jews.

But let's give them a Palestinian state nonetheless.

No, there's no genocide under any definition of the term.

Israel fights to protect its people.

and they are accused of genocide. This only happens to the Jews, the anti-Semitism.

If this were the Ku Klux Klan attacking blacks.

What would the world response be? What would the response be in the United States in the halls of Congress? Boy, what a different response we have because it's the Jews.

and humus those who openly call for the annihilation of the jewish people and the state of israel it is written in their constitution a document that has been called out and they have not changed they have specifically explicitly decided not to change

Another inconvenient truth. This war.

brought on by Hamas and the terrorists connected to Hamas.

around the world. And you could list them and by the way they're all Muslim. I am not going to shy away from saying it. They happen to all be Muslim.

The terror groups connected.

and they've got many acronyms for who they are you've heard them from isis to his ballot ⁓ hummus to the who tease to the islamic jihad the people's front

There are many, many more. And they've been carrying out terrorism around the world for decades. Killing innocents for decades. And the horrific acts of October 7th were just the crescendo.

and what Israel did in response.

was a just war carried out against an enemy that should be destroyed and removed from this earth.

People who hate.

people who engaged in heinous atrocities against the Jewish people.

People who...

if they controlled a country.

Women.

Lesbians, gays, the entire community.

would be destroyed and second class citizens at least.

When there's a response to an attack like October 7th, carried out in such a just way as the Israelis did, use of force to secure moral foundation of society.

to save Judeo-Christian values at the point of the spear. We should be cheering it. We should be fully supporting it.

with no hesitation. Now that has not happened.

In particular, hasn't happened within the Democratic Party, sadly.

When I say that Israel carried out the war in a just way,

I refer to yet another inconvenient truth, and that is Israel.

took protective actions to keep that civilian to compatent ratio as low as it was. They took protective actions against many who were trying to kill them, nonetheless providing them with humanitarian aid never seen before at such levels, never seen before.

It was massive and it is a blatant lie. Unadulterated, no excuse, not somewhere in the middle, but a blatant lie to say that Israel was not providing humanitarian aid, was starving, ⁓ intentionally starving Palestinian kids.

or palestinians generally

No, tons upon tons. Truckloads every single day.

not required in warfare, but done by the Israelis every single day, and the false reporting is legion. You, again, would think that with as much reporting as occurred on the issue of aid.

There's gotta be some truth to it, right?

No, there isn't.

The aid was delivered. The Israelis did what they could do.

Hamas oftentimes, the vast majority of time.

took over that aid and kept it, sold it off for money to continue its attacks.

but kept it from the people, from who it was intended for.

So where do we sit now? Final comments.

Qatar, Turkey, Muslim Brotherhood. Now they're sidling up to Iran.

to develop this ring around Israel. After all that Israel has faced because they were not allowed by Western Europe and the United States even to demand unconditional surrender and to pound these terrorists, whether they come out of Iran as government sponsored terrorists or

Hamas, Hezbollah, others.

They survived.

They have been damaged, they need to rebuild, but that's what they're doing. And we're gonna be back to where we were before in no time. In just a few years.

Well, maybe an exhausted Israel.

is thankful for that.

I can tell you there are many in Israel that want real peace, which means unconditional surrender of the haters, the anti-Semites, those that want to destroy one of the most beautiful lands in the world, the land of Israel.

Israel has is still surrounded But within that region it is the moral high ground There can be no doubt

It is the brain trust of that region and arguably in the top echelons of the world with innovation and invention.

love and caring with a society that is developed around freedom and liberty values I know you know them well because we live them here in the United States shared values with the United States

and at the point of the spear of fighting the same enemies of the United States.

Jewish people are not going anywhere.

and the world would be a lot safer and a lot more enjoyable if Western Europe and the United States

supported Israel openly, without equivocation, and fully in fighting against an evil that exists in the Middle East and must be destroyed.

and Muslims around the world internally must shift and demand change.

within their ranks.

Yes, we needed unconditional surrender. did not occur. It should have been a we win, you lose statement. And until that existed.

The battle should have continued. Yes, it would have been difficult.

But I dare say down the trail, it's going to be even more difficult.

Those are a few thoughts of the real inconvenient truths that we need to start openly screaming from the mountaintops. Yes, talking openly and honestly with our fellow.
