The issue of 'war crimes' is important and it is appalling that the USA (Hegseth and Co.) seem to be on the wrong side of history. Peter Burgess Transcript 0:00 Canada is absolutely furious at Donald Trump and his gangster regime. Of course, Canada's now moved on. They don't view the United States as an ally or a partner or a friend anymore. And for good reason. And Canada is responding now to Donald Trump's and his regime's war crimes off the coast of Venezuela. We hear from uh individuals like Charlie Angus of Midas Kenna. the way Canadians are uh discussing these despicable war crimes taking place. Charlie Angus again who leads Midas Canada contextualizes it in the history of other war crimes during World War II. He talks about how Canada and the United States of course have been allies in World War II and World War I and throughout uh history. And now the perspective of Canada seeing the United States as this essentially Nazi fascist uh regime is something that Charlie Angus and Canadians never could fathom. But that's the reality right now and the 1:00 dynamic that exists. Unfortunately, Charlie Angus from Midas Canada, take it away, sir. These extrajudicial killings are very serious. These are war crimes. They're crimes against even the United States uh military code. But what was really concerning was how Hegsmith when he was challenged on this, he put out uh this uh imitation cartoon of the Franklin cartoon. Now Franklin is a Canadian uh cartoon character that children love. And Franklin is teaches kids how to be nice and how to be good neighbors. And instead, Hexa turns Franklin into this happy murderous killer killing people who are defenseless. You know, um, Adam Seer wrote the book about Trump that cruelty is the point. And he writes that once malice is embraced as virtue, it is impossible to contain. What we're seeing with the uh in this age of gangsters is that the 2:02 crimes that have been committed by military in the past are now being bragged about and celebrated on social media. And it's about dehumanizing our enemy. And it's about uh embracing the cruelty and the and the viciousness and also laughing at the fact that these are breaches of international law. You know, there was a photograph I saw when I went to the Museum of Terror in Berlin that really struck me, that shocked me, and I I thought about it for a long time. And it's about um German soldiers, male and female, at Switch in 1942, uh singing and laughing. And you're seeing this photograph of people who are completely disconnected from the fact that they're running the world's most notorious murder camp. And I thought about that photograph a long time and the dehumanizing nature of the violence that allows people on one hand to hang 3:00 out and have a good time and on the other hand go in and pull people off the trains and murder them. uh you know Daniel Goldhagen in his book on Hitler's willing executioners his claim was that the reason this was possible was because the Germans had some innate murderous anti-semitism was something in the German character and he wrote about the German police battalions that did the horrific mass shootings uh in Ukraine and Eastern Europe and u took photographs and didn't seem to think it was a big issue. I think Goldhagen's thesis is just wrong. And we see it's wrong because it's been proven wrong by subsequent atrocities. And nowhere has it been proven more than uh in Israel where we see uh soldiers of the IDF who come from all manner of ordinary backgrounds in Gaza doing selfies uh involved in mass killings, killings of civilians, killings of children. Uh, I think one of the most frightening 4:00 things that really shook me up and it literally made me rethink everything I thought about the world was the murder of that six-year-old girl, Hinn Rajab, who was in a car with her family trying to escape the bombing. Her family were murdered in the car. She was left alone. She was on the phone begging people to come and help her. And every time someone from the Red Crescent tried to come and help her, Israeli sharpshooters killed him. Uh the Euro Mediterranean peace monitor investigated and ruled it a planned execution. The murder of a family and the murder of a child. This kind of dehumanizing violence uh is becoming the face of the era of gangster uh threat. We see it with Putin in Ukraine. We see it with Netanyahu in Gaza. And now we're seeing it with the United States under Donald Trump. uh Lieutenant Colonel Benny Beni Aharan, his name has been brought forward to the International Criminal Court for um the 5:01 allegations that he ordered the killing of this young girl and her family. And this is a thing that Hegsith and the rest of them need to understand. The work of the criminal court goes on. Donald Trump is trying in in his deal with Putin, the capitulation agreement he's trying to uh foster on the world is to claim that after this illegal invasion and after all these killings and the stealing of children that the world will somehow agree to let Putin and the war crimes go unanswered, just like he thinks that that's going to happen in Gaza. No, sometimes it takes years, sometimes it takes decades, many decades, but the work of the International Criminal Court must go on and it must go on in Russia. It must go on in Gaza. And that brings us to Pete Hegsith and the killing of uh these uh civilians. We don't know who they are. We don't know what they did. We don't know if it was a drug uh bust or not. And what kind of drug bust, you just blow people up without even stopping and searching.

Um the Pentagon law of war manual is clear on this. Attacking defenseless people. They say persons who have been rendered unconscious or otherwise incapacitated by wounds, sickness or shipwreck such as they are no longer capable of fighting are or the combat meaning they're out of fighting. Persons who have been incapacitated by wounds, sickness, or 8:02 shipwreck are in a helpless state, and it would be dishonorable and inhumane to make them the object of attack. The Intercept has done a study on Hegsith, who's now trying to blame an admiral uh for ordering the killings after he was bragging and imposting pictures of the cartoon with Franklin. And the intercept says that Hex's actions could result in the entire chain of command being investigated for war crimes or outright murder. But I want to go back now to Canada because when our uh foreign affairs minister Anita Anand was asked uh in the early stages of these um extrajudicial murders off the coast of Venezuela if they were breach of international law. Miss Anand said that it was really up to the United States to decide if it was a breach of international law. I mean, this is an outrageously dumb thing to say. In what world would you say the perpetrator of the crimes gets to decide whether those crimes are crimes? That's not how it works. And Canada has a longstanding 9:01 tradition of our work on dealing with international war crimes, crimes against civilians, crimes against humanity, and that work must continue. But I want to take you back historically on why Canada has played such a role in this. On June 27th, 1918, there was a hospital ship uh the Landovery Castle heading from Halifax to Liverpool uh as part of the medical convoys that the Canadian Army had for the wounded and the sick. And while they were just off the coast of Ireland, they were sunk by Yubot 86 um as part of the Yubot campaign against uh the against the UK and against Canada. And on that ship there were many doctors, nurses, military personnel, sailors. And what happened next uh shocked the world because the Ubot saw 10:00 the survivors in the water. They rammed this the the the the lifeboats and then they machine gunned the survivors, killing nurses, killing 234 people. And Canadians were outraged and Canadians demanded international law step up, which hadn't really stepped up on something like this before, on the murder of helpless people at sea. And I think the the killings of the people on the Landovery Castle set Canada on a path that it has never u turned away from which is that those with the guns don't get to shoot those without guns on the high seas. Those who are helpless, those who don't have power, those who are like little Hindab who was left in a car uh as bait while the Israeli soldiers killed those who came to save them. These are war crimes. These are the act of monsters. And we are in an age of monsters. And we're in an age of monsters when people like Pete 11:00 Hexus, one of the dumbest, most incompetent losers who's ever been appointed to anything in the United States, can put out cartoons bragging about murdering defenseless people on the high seas. It's not just it's about the war crime, but it's about trying to desensitize us to make us go along to think it's okay. and it's not okay. So now we see Trump's backtracking. We see u Hegets trying to throw the admirals under the bus. We have to stay focused on these. We cannot let our humanity break down like this. We cannot let these gangster criminals like Hegith and Trump and Putin and uh Netanyahu and Benny Aaron whose now name is been put forward at the International Criminal Court. There has to be accountability otherwise we go into a very very very dark place. So my friends, we got to keep kicking at the darkness and we got to keep calling it out and we got to keep insisting that people have to do 12:01 better in the age of these gangster monsters.
