On Charlie Kirk's Assassination and the Glee of Online Celebrants
#Tim opens by introducing the Max Blumenthal interview and delivers an extended personal reaction to Charlie Kirk's assassination, condemning people who celebrated his murder, arguing that disagreement with someone's politics doesn't justify delighting in their death, and warning that this kind of dehumanization is a dark omen for the country.

Blumenthal describes the plan to push Palestinians out of Gaza to Egypt, the history of 1948 displacement, and speculates on where two million displaced Gazans might end up, including Europe or the US.
7moments
- Gaza is a destruction project, not construction—they're trying to move Palestinians out to 'Judaize' the place, especially the north.
- Netanyahu is controlled by religious nationalist settlers who fought hard for this land in the genocide and are the lynchpin of his coalition.
- The plan is ethnic cleansing: incentivize Palestinians to leave with subsidies because Israel doesn't want them there.
- In 1948, 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed when Israel was founded, many warehoused in Gaza ever since.
- Tim describes crossing into Gaza and seeing a remote-controlled machine gun on a wall pointing into the territory—the world Palestinians lived in before October 7th.
- After Hamas's violent rebellion, Israel decided all Palestinians must leave Gaza and go through Egypt.
- Israel is pushing the displacement onto the rest of the world, so if you're worried about the border, consider what Israel has coming for you.
