Calev MyersGUEST
She's back home.
Calev MyersGUEST
And one of the most solemn moments that I remember is coming up to the gate of the El Al flight that was coming back from Geneva to Tel Aviv.
Calev MyersGUEST
and you could have heard a pin drop because you know there's just whatever 100 israelis sitting there and everybody is just you know we're reading ourselves the
Amir TsarfatiHOST
same day it was the next day it was on october 8th and so terrorists are still roaming they're still
Harry BrowneHOST
I say, Paulie, what's in the ditch?
Paulie DoylePANELIST
Well, we have a story this week about the Israeli national airline, El Al, which illegally transported a ton of munitions of war for the Israel Defense Forces through Irish territory in August.
Paulie DoylePANELIST
And this included a component delivered as part of a program to, and I quote, strengthen the security of the United States.
Paulie DoylePANELIST
Also included in this shipment was a target acquisition system, modular gunner sites for the IDF, both of which were produced by Elbit Systems.

You're going to have, they're all going to be flying direct to Israel.
speaker_0HOST
It's not just going to be El Al and Delta sometimes and United sometimes and American sometimes.
speaker_0HOST
Everybody, you're going to have Aeroflot bringing back whoever's left in Russia and Lot from Poland and Lufthansa from Germany.
speaker_0HOST
They're going to bring everyone back directly to bring them to Yerushalayim, Amar Hashem.
ScafiHOST
I do not know if you do know this.
ScafiHOST
Until the 1980s, El Al, which was the...
ScafiHOST
the Israeli national airline now has been privatized.
ScafiHOST
They flew every day of the week as a normal carrier.
ScafiHOST
Since the 1980s, because of advocacy of these parties, they said, no, no, no, no, no. We're only going to vote if El Al does not fly, does not operate at all on the Sabbath.
ScafiHOST
So from that day until now, you cannot find a Sabbath flight.
LindsayHOST
That's
ScafiHOST
great.
Jeff BerwickHOST
Grok, did Spain's state railway operator award three security contracts to an Israeli-linked firm responsible for guarding controlling trains and railway infrastructure? Yes.
Jeff BerwickHOST
In 2024, Renfi awarded ISEC, subsidiary of Dutch-based ICTS International, founded by former Shin Bet and El Al security personnel, three contracts for train station workshops, surveillance and security services covering multiple Spanish regions.
Jeff BerwickHOST
It's incredible.
Jeff BerwickHOST
They continue to do all these things, and your average person has no clue.
Yasir QadhiHOST
Okay? So, and there are plenty of video footage of this as well.
Yasir QadhiHOST
They hijacked an El Al.
Yasir QadhiHOST
They hijacked another airport.
Yasir QadhiHOST
There was a famous Antebi plane.
17 MINS LATER
Yasir QadhiHOST
Both parties did not live up to what they promised.
Yasir QadhiHOST
You cannot just blame one side here.
Yasir QadhiHOST
Nonetheless, this is the narrative that Israel always spins that the Palestinians were promised freedom.
Yasir QadhiHOST
No, what type of freedom when they don't have their own government, they don't have their own welfare, they don't control the water, they don't control security, they don't control airspace, they don't control, so whatever they were offered, agreed, it was more, it's like giving them crumbs.

join us.

So I flew in on El Al's first nonstop flight from San Francisco.
speaker_19SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And it was filled with people, with Israelis who were coming home to vote.
speaker_19SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And it felt really good on the plane.
Ari CharlesteinGUEST
Um, they have a very, very strict rule that unless you are working in a consulate or in consular affairs currently on a mission, um, you are not eligible to vote abroad.
Ari CharlesteinGUEST
Um, In fact, they have a small select crew of El Al flight attendants and pilots who, just because of scheduling, are forced not to be in Israel during that time, even though that's a partially government-run airline.
Ari CharlesteinGUEST
Doesn't matter.
Ari CharlesteinGUEST
They can't vote.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
But when we were flying back.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
And part of the perk was we got to show up to the El Al lounge before the flight took off.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
And the flight was going to take off at like one in the morning.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
And we had to get there and get through security like at like 10 p.m. or something.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
So we had like this like two hour, three hour wait.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
I've never seen an airport lounge as luxurious as the one for El Al in Tel Aviv.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
Seriously.
Kevin McCulloughHOST
The buffet, the endless flowing organic kosher friendly, of course, wine and champagne and other stuff, but...
Bill HandelHOST
And at one point, for example, every hotel, every restaurant in Israel was official, licensed, had to be kosher.
Bill HandelHOST
And at one point, El Al, the Israeli airline, in order to keep the Sabbath, every single airplane that El Al owned had to be on the ground Friday night for the Sabbath.
Bill HandelHOST
Had to be on the ground and not flying wherever and whatever time zone there was.
Bill HandelHOST
And how did they get around it? Well, you always find a way to get around it.
Bill HandelHOST
And what El Al did was they leased their planes to another organization that was private, not controlled by the government.
Bill HandelHOST
And same planes, same staff, same pilots.
Bill HandelHOST
It's just on Friday night to Saturday night, it was another organization flying Yalal airplanes.
