The pro-Palestine, anti-Israel protests are getting out of hand. Glenn reviews 3 stories that prove just how mainstream these often-times anti-Jewish, demonstrations and beliefs are becoming: The United Nations Division for Palestinian Rights advertised "5 ways to take action for Tax Day" if people don't want their tax dollars to "fund genocide"; a group called Palestine Action has called on activists to surveil and violently vandalize businesses connected to the "Israeli weapons industry"; and a cop in London threatened to arrest a man for crossing a road during a pro-Palestine protest because his "openly Jewish" appearance could "antagonize" the crowd. In the name of "tolerance," we're "tolerating the REAL problem," Glenn says. So, is anyone looking into these acts of hate? Or are they still too focused on Trump supporters?

GLENN: You know, Stu, I've been thinking. Now, hear me out on this theory.
I'm thinking that maybe Americans. Now, this has never been said before, that I know of.
Do you think Americans just have an unusual fear, a heightened unusual fear of Tiki torches. Hear me out.
STU: This is a theory I've never heard before.
GLENN: Right. It's a first year.
Hear me out. When you have a gathering of Nazis, and they're screaming, death to the Jews.
STU: Jews will not replace us, I believe was the big --
GLENN: Yeah. Okay.
So you have the Tiki torches. We freak out.
But when you have the Palestinians say, kill all the Jews, and nobody freaks out.
They don't have Tiki torches.
STU: Oh!
That's -- that is an interesting difference.
GLENN: It might just be, I don't know. Because I've always go to of Tiki torches, as something you brought, that parents would have brought around the pool for a luau or something. You know, they got like, hey, we have a fresh pineapple. Let's have a luau. And so they would have a luau around the pool. I would like to do an experiment at your house, Stu. Let's see if we can get a bunch of Nazis to go with Tiki torches, and stand around your pool. Just to say, you know, if you like pineapple.
STU: Because then you wouldn't know if it was a racist protest or a luau. You wouldn't know. That's interesting.
GLENN: Yeah. You wouldn't know. You wouldn't know. So I think, is it the Tiki torches that are the difference here between the Nazis?
STU: We have some citronella situations, where they're supposed to help chase the mosquitoes away.
Maybe the American people are just sensitive to those same types of issues. Maybe they're scared away by the Tiki Torches.
GLENN: Maybe. Because I don't understand what's going on.
STU: But you didn't like the, every day should be October 7th chance this weekend?
GLENN: No, I didn't, I didn't.
STU: It didn't say necessarily, it was that thing on October 7th. They could have --
GLENN: It could have been the convert.
STU: Things that occurred on October 7th, you know.
GLENN: Sure. Should have been. Don't think it was. A little Nazi for my taste. A little too Nazi for my taste, but they didn't have Tiki torches.
Hey, by the way, we were just talking about the surveillance that the government is doing with foreigners and Americans getting scooped up. I'll bet you, none of that is going to happen to any of those proud, proud Palestinian protesters. They're not going to get scooped up. No!
Not at all.
By the way, I find it fascinating that the UN, the United Nations, the division for Palestinian rights and geoaction news, reportedly has given an update on the Civil Society Organization's concerning the Palestinian issues. So they're just putting out this information, and they're pointing to the US campaign for Palestinian rights. Lists ways to take action for tax day. So the United Nations put out a little flier there. Just you know Palestinian rights. And put together a little helpful list, if you wanted to take action.
Let me just show you what was in this. Instructions on how some protesters who didn't want their tax dollars to fund genocide. This is from the UN, could disrupt a free Palestine.
Second item on the list, pointed to a user hyperlink for protesters who wanted to engage in a coordinated multi-city economic blockade, to free Palestine.
You know what is not under investigation by our FBI?
These people.
The state laid -- the site laid out specifically how participants could be most effective with their disruptions. The proposal states that in each city, quote, will identify and blockade major choke points on the economy. Focusing on points of production and circulation, with the aim of causing the most economic impact as the port shutdowns did in recent months in Oakland, California, and Melbourne, Australia, just a few examples.
There's this need, quoting, from a shift of symbolic actions to those that cause pain to the economy.
Still quoting, as Yemen is bombed to secure global trade, and billions of dollars are sent to the Zionist war machine, we must recognize that the global economy is complicit in genocide, and together, we will coordinate to disrupt and blockade economic, logistical hubs, and the flow of Capitol.
So I think this is great. Hey. Justice Department.
Nothing to see. I don't need to say this to you. You know, nothing to see there.
Nothing to see there. Whatsoever. By the way, new document, also has -- has been given to the investigative journalist up in Canada. You know, we saw the breakdown of society.
You know, the UN. This is another one. This is an underground manual, created by Palestinian action.
It's a network of groups, that use what they call direct action against individuals and organizations who are believed to support Israel.
The manual, this is another manual, urges the sales to pick your target.
Anyone who enables and profits from the Israeli's weapons industry. Palestinian action then calls on some members to prepare for action. And do what it refers to as recce. R-E-C-C-E. Reconnaissance, is that what you mean? Even advising borrowing someone's dog for a walk, to avoid looking suspicious.
STU: Well, you don't want to look suspicious, Glenn.
GLENN: Right. Can I borrow your dog for a walk? Hey, free dog walking!
STU: That wouldn't be suspicious?
GLENN: No. No. Extremists are counseled to map out where closed-circuit cameras are located, as well as fencing, barbed wire, access points, alarms, and how far the police are from the target. Next, the pamphlet describes to sell -- to be advised to plan action, among the suggestion action. Smashing windows. Exterior equipment. Blocking company's internal pipes. Including using concrete. As anti-Israel protesters did on the railroad tracks in Toronto.
Last week, that was great. This will cause disruptions for the target. Break-ins are also advised by Palestinian action, because breaking in to your target, and damaging the contents inside, is obviously a very effective tactic. This thing goes on and on and on.
It says, at the end, in all caps. Palestinian action warns, taking action, never leave anything behind.
Absolutely nothing. Apart from the paint and the destruction.
The police may try to forensically analyze any items which are left. So don't leave anything. By the way, you should have untraceable burner phones. Oh.
If caught, Palestinian action members are give up the names of lawyers to represent them. Apparently at no cost. And the assistance of, quote, our dedicated support team throughout your entire legal process. End quote.
STU: Oh, that's nice.
GLENN: So I'm -- I'm wondering. I'm wondering, if there's any -- anybody at all, thinking about this?
STU: I think that came from the Toronto star, which is obviously the -- when you're thinking about this type of thing.
You think, I don't know.
Maybe the New York Times. The Washington Post.
GLENN: No. No.
STU: The LA Times would be really interested, in uncovering a document like this, that is advocating this type of things.
GLENN: No. They won't. I just gave you two. One from the Toronto star. Another from the UN.
Hello. Hello.
Nobody. Nobody is interested in this. So please don't talk to me about, oh, my gosh, the United States is in such danger.
Yes. When you close the border. And make sure we don't have, you know, half a million people coming in every 90 days. You let me know. Then I'll take you seriously.
When you start investigating people that are -- that are organizing paying for, and encouraging these kinds of Nazi rallies. When you -- you know what, once you start calling them Nazi rallies, I'll take you seriously.
Otherwise, I think you're actually part of the rob. And here. I want you to listen. What British police said to this Jewish man. It's Saturday. The Sabbath. He's coming back.
He does this every Saturday. He walks.
And here's what the British police said to him, because there were Palestinians around.
He's trying to -- I -- I don't want to stay here. I want to lease as a Jewish man. When the crowd is gone. He can go.
I'll escort you.
No, sir. You're not. I don't want to antagonize anyone. I just don't want to walk across the street. And at the moment, sir, you're quite openly Jewish. This is a pro-Palestinian march.
I'm not accusing you. But I'm worried about the reaction to your presence.
I just want to make sure you're safe. So that no one attacks you.
That's all. I would like that too. But your sergeant told me, because I'm Jewish, it's antagonistic to the crowd. And dangerous.
I'm not saying that. He just said that.
(music)
VOICE: On every Saturday, you probably know it. Your colleagues know it.
VOICE: It changes every single week. (inaudible).
VOICE: And now, look at the number of police around him. Look around.
GLENN: Probably 20 policeman around him. And he's like, I'm -- I'm told that it's completely safe for the Jews to walk around. I should have nothing to worry about. And yet, here I am. They're shouting me. Shoving me. And I'm surrounded by cops.
So they're going to escort him out.
He doesn't want any of that to happen.
He says, you're -- the cop says, you're causing a breach of peace. Because you're standing here.
Your presence here is antagonizing a large group of people. So we're going to arrest you. Because your presence is antagonizing them.
STU: Huh?
GLENN: Now. They didn't do anything to the people that were surrounding him. Calling him vermin.
Calling for the death of Jews.
They did nothing.
But he's the problem. Again, this is tolerating!
You're tolerating the real problem!
You're tolerating the views of Nazis! Now, I just -- I'm not going to have time here. But tomorrow, I'm going to go through the history of Columbia university. You know, Columbia university. They were welcoming Nazis in. They had a cap on how many Jews we could have in the college. They have a history of this. Does anybody really care? America, it is so easy to know, if you're on the right side of history, right now.
You do not want to tell your grandchildren or your great-grandchildren, yeah. Your grandma and I did nothing.
When this all came down. We were just too afraid to say anything.
You know, my job was really important.
Yeah. I get that grandpa. But look what that led to, your silence.
