| 0:00.0 | The ballistic missile attacks by Iran on Israel has certainly exposed one thing as if it wasn't exposed enough, |
| 0:06.3 | which is the rampant unashamed racism of Western political and media elites when it comes to Palestine and Israel, how |
| 0:14.7 | Palestinians are dehumanized, how the worth of their lives is practically |
| 0:18.8 | non-existent when it comes to those elites. That's been clear for a very long time but there are moments when |
| 0:26.0 | this racism is so naked, so shameless, so loud and proud and this is one of them. Now let's start with the |
| 0:35.2 | official Israel Twitter account and yes it is deranged that a country has a |
| 0:38.7 | troll Twitter account appropriate in this case and it posted video footage of the Iranian missiles |

| 1:40.2 | things you're the people who cheer bombing people and bomb bombs you have |
| 1:44.2 | cheered on a lot. A huge number of bombs you have been the cheerleaders for which |
| 1:49.9 | unlike in this case I would know not a single Israeli civilian was killed but you have |
| 1:55.2 | cheered on bombs which have slaughtered tens of thousands or indeed far more indeed |
| 2:01.0 | the captain of team bomb things is Israel, which is responsible for the vast |
| 2:05.7 | majority of bombings in the last year, slaughtering vast numbers of innocent people, many of them |
