Fox News Hosts Call Themselves Nazis On Gutfeld
Whew, chile, you know it's gonna be a doozy when someone uses the words "the Blacks"... and doesn't even stop there. Today's culprit is none other than Greg Gutfeld of Fox News. In a clip from his political satire show, Gutfeld!, posted to X, the commentator and his panel are discussing anti-fascists who call ICE agents, supporters of President Donald Trump, and other conservatives "Nazis." "This is why the criticism doesn't matter to us when youse call us Nazis," Gutfeld starts. "Nazi this, Nazi that... y'know, I'm beginning to think they don't like us," he jokes. "Y'know what? I've said this before. We need to learn from the Blacks," he says. "The way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it." "So from now on it's, 'What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi! Heyyy, what's hangin', my Nazi?'" Gutfeld says, smiling and pointing to the panelists one by one. After a brief pause, libertarian commentator Lisa Kennedy Montgomery says, "Nazi, please!" Gutfeld, predictably, finds this hilarious. "Thank God you did a hard 'i' there," he says. Then, mercifully, the clip is over. I won't lie, I'm at a real loss for words on this one. There are too many things to say, so I'll let the internet step in. The Lincoln Project said, "So they're just fully comfortable calling themselves Nazis now. Got it." "I did not have republicans admitting that they are in fact Nazi on my 2025 bingo card," someone wrote. This person said something like this "would have ended someone's career on television" a decade ago. This account asked how the two words could even be compared, and a lot of people agreed. Someone called it "the most stupid analogy I heard so far." This person said Gutfeld was "forgetting that being a Nazi was always a bad thing while being black never was." One user said it sounded like Gutfeld was showing "how subhuman he believes *Black people* are" with his intonation. This person said, "they went full mask off and stopped hiding it." And finally, this person said what I imagine we're all thinking. What do you think? Sound off in the comments.

UN rapporteur calls for global action to stop genocide in Gaza
The United Nations' special rapporteur for Gaza and the West Bank said that it's time for nations around the world to take concrete actions to stop the genocide in Gaza. Francesca Albanese spoke to delegates from 30 countries meeting in Colombia's capital to discuss the Israeli war on Gaza and ways that nations can try to stop it. Many of the participating nations have described the violence as genocide against the Palestinians. 'Each state must immediately review and suspend all ties with the State of Israel ... and ensure its private sector does the same,' said Albanese,who was sanctioned by the U.S. earlier this month. 'The Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal.' The two-day conference organized by the governments of Colombia and South Africa is being attended mostly by developing nations, although the governments of Spain, Ireland and China have also sent delegates. Since it begininng of the war on October 2023, Israel has killed more than 58,000 Palestinians in Gaza. The conference is co-chaired by the governments of South Africa and Colombia, which last year suspended coal exports to Israeli power plants, and includes the participation of members of The Hague Group, a coalition of eight nations that earlier this year pledged to cut military ties with Israel and to comply with an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against Netanyahu. Participating nations have said they are trying to comply with an I nternational Court of Justice opinion issued last year that said Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal. There is also a U.N. General Assembly resolution from September, which demands that Israel withdraw its military from Palestinian territories and calls on member nations to stop selling weapons to Israel. 'It's important that we stand up for the rule of law in a meaningful way,' said Chrispin Phiri, a spokesman for South Africa's Department of International Relations who is attending the conference in Bogota. 'This idea that international law ... can only be enforced on counties of the global south is something that has become unsustainable.' For decades, South Africa's ruling African National Congress party has compared Israel's policies in Gaza and the West Bank with its own history of oppression under the harsh apartheid regime of white minority rule, which restricted most Blacks to 'homelands' or Bantustans, before ending in 1994. Albanese also brought up the comparison as she spoke to delegates in the conference, and urged them to impose sanctions on Israel until it withdraws from Gaza and the West Bank. 'I ask you to consider this moment as if we were sitting here in the 1990s, discussing the case of apartheid South Africa. Would you have proposed selective sanctions on South Africa for its conduct in individual Bantustans? Or would you have recognized the state's criminal system as a whole?' Albanese said. The gathering comes as the European Union weighs various measures against Israel including a ban on imports from Israeli settlements, an arms embargo and individual sanctions against Israeli officials found to be blocking a peaceful solution to the conflict. Colombia's Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Mauricio Jaramillo said Monday that the nations participating in the Bogota meeting, which also include Qatar and Turkey, will be discussing diplomatic and judicial measures that can be taken to put more pressure on Israel to cease its attacks. The Colombian official described Israel's conduct in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank as an affront to the international order. 'This is not just about Palestine,' Jaramillo said in a press conference. 'It is about defending international law … and the right to self determination.' This story was edited by Ahram Online.

The Fox News host actually went there.
Greg Gutfeld on Tuesday proposed a shocking way for conservatives like him to deflect from allegations of fascism: make 'Nazi' their n-word. The Fox News host, who didn't do himself any favors in critics' eyes two years ago when he floated civil war because 'elections don't work,' told his colleagues on The Five that it made more sense to embrace the undesirable label rather than run from it, because 'the criticism doesn't mater to us.' 'You know what? I've said this before: we need to learn from the Blacks,' he said, citing 'the way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it.'

U.N. rapporteur calls for global action to stop ‘genocide' in Gaza
BOGOTA, Colombia — The United Nations' special rapporteur for Gaza and the West Bank said Tuesday that it's time for nations around the world to take concrete actions to stop what she called the 'genocide' in Gaza. Francesca Albanese spoke to delegates from 30 countries meeting in Colombia's capital to discuss the Israel-Hamas war and ways that nations can try to stop Israel's military offensive in the territory. Many of the participating nations have described the violence as genocide against the Palestinians. 'Each state must immediately review and suspend all ties with the State of Israel ... and ensure its private sector does the same,' Albanese said. 'The Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal.' The two-day conference organized by the governments of Colombia and South Africa is being attended mostly by developing nations, although the governments of Spain, Ireland and China have also sent delegates. Israel, which was founded in the aftermath of the Holocaust, has adamantly rejected genocide allegations against it as an antisemitic 'blood libel.' Analysts say it's not clear whether the conference's participating countries have enough leverage over Israel to force it to change its policies in Gaza, where more than 58,000 people have been killed in Israeli military operations following a deadly Hamas attack on Israel in 2023. The death toll comes from the health ministry, which is under Gaza's Hamas government and does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. The U.N. and other international organizations see its figures as the most reliable statistics on war casualties. 'The United States has so far failed to influence Israel's behavior … so it is naive to think that this group of countries can have any influence over [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu's behavior or on the government of Israel,' said Sandra Borda, a professor of international relations at Bogota's Los Andes University. She said, however, that the conference will enable some nations of the Global South to clarify their position toward the conflict and have their voices heard. The conference is co-chaired by the governments of South Africa and Colombia, which last year suspended coal exports to Israeli power plants, and includes the participation of members of The Hague Group, a coalition of eight nations that earlier this year pledged to cut military ties with Israel and to comply with an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against Netanyahu. For decades, South Africa's ruling African National Congress party has compared Israel's policies in Gaza and the West Bank with its own history of oppression under the harsh apartheid regime of white minority rule, which restricted most Blacks to 'homelands' before ending in 1994. South Africa's current argument is rooted in the sentiment that Palestinians have been oppressed in their homeland as Black South Africans were under apartheid. The gathering comes as the European Union weighs various measures against Israel that include a ban on imports from Israeli settlements, an arms embargo and individual sanctions against Israeli officials, who are found to be blocking a peaceful solution to the conflict. Colombia's Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Mauricio Jaramillo said Monday that the nations participating in the Bogota meeting, which also include Qatar and Turkey, will be discussing diplomatic and judicial measures that can be taken to put more pressure on Israel to cease its attacks. The Colombian official described Israel's conduct in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank as an affront to the international order. 'This is not just about Palestine,' Jaramillo said in a news conference. 'It is about defending international law… and the right to self determination.' Rueda writes for the Associated Press.
