In the day and age of cancel culture, where it seems that anyone can be cancelled for nearly anything, there appears to be a loophole for a specific kind of racism and advocacy for murdering one group of people. If you call for the mass murder of Palestinian children, like Howard Stern, you won’t only avoid cancellation, you may make even more money.
In a clip which has recently resurfaced on social media, of celebrity radio show host Howard Stern, a series of genocidal comments towards Palestinians were ushered. The show aired in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, which had whipped up many Americans in a planned frenzy of hate towards the Muslim and Arab World, which would ultimately serve as a justification for the “War on Terror”. Stern’s show was only one of several that worked to aim the hatred of the American people and Western World in general, towards Muslims as the pre-determined culprits of the attacks. However, the controversial host’s comments were perhaps some of the most grotesque and racist, aimed specifically at Palestinians.

When a guest on the Howard Stern show brought up the claim that Palestinian children, as young as 5 years old, had taken to the streets to celebrate the attacks — attributed by the corporate media to al-Qaeda terrorists — the host launched a racist tirade against the illegally occupied people of Palestine. His response to this claim was “bomb them”, “those 5 year olds will grow up to attack our country, kill them! Kill them for celebrating… drop a nuclear bomb on them, give them nuclear warfare, it’s the only thing they understand”, he continued on to swear and call for the murder of the “bastard children that they are”. Going even further, Stern had shared his thoughts that the US’ nuclear attacks on Japan — which resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths in World War 2, despite the Japanese forces already in retreat on all fronts — had put the Japanese in line and that this should be the strategy for the Palestinians also.
Interestingly, Stern, who had entered into a Twitter battle with Donald Trump Jr, over his criticism of the former US President’s response to Covid-19 and the Black Lives Matter protests, is now building himself a kind of reputation as a “woke” icon, adopting the title proudly. On his SiriusXM radio show, earlier this week, Howard Stern stated that “I am woke, motherf–ker, and I love it“, in response to a viral Youtube video where the staunch Democratic Party supporter is accused of no longer being funny because of his opposition to Donald Trump. “And if woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I’m for the vaccine, dude, call me woke as you f–king want,” he continued.
But for someone that is so woke, why is it that for years the Democrat supporting radio show host used racial slurs, like the N-word, frequently, and even infamously wore black-face in a skit back in 1993 (which was tweeted out by Donald Jr during their Twitter battle) for which Howard Stern came out with an apology back in 2020. For those who believe that perhaps Howard Stern has undergone some sort of transformation, as he claims, since his hay-day in the 1990s and early 2000s, it is clear that his racist views on Palestinians are still very much intact. In 2015 the Palestinian Authority (PA) even lashed out at his racist comments made that year about the Palestinian people, claiming that the Palestinians don’t exist and that there was nothing there in the land of Palestine other than desert prior to the arrival of Zionist Jews, to which Arabs from elsewhere arrived to call themselves Palestinians for the sake of driving out the Jews. This tirade, which completely denies the existence of Palestinians, as well as being utterly false, never received an apology, nor did Stern apologize for calling for a nuclear holocaust in order to eliminate Palestinian children.
“We will not allow anyone, including Mr. Stern, to disseminate misguided, racist, or genocidal views into the public sphere without being held to account,” said the PA’s delegation to the US, going on to say that if anyone said what the celebrity radio show host did about Jewish people “the public outcry would rightly be fierce.” Stern, who has visited occupied Palestine, knows well that the country is not a little strip of desert, which is why it is certain that he willingly lied in his depiction of the Holy Land. No one who visits the country could possibly come away with the impression that a nation that is filled with mountain ranges and sits along the Mediterranean Sea, complete with beaches and buildings that have been there for thousands of years — that compare to Southern Spain, Italy and other popular holiday destinations — was possibly a baron wasteland with no population prior to the arrival of White European Jews. However, the celebrity host used these descriptions of Palestine, complete with the portrayal of an entire people as being imposters that built an identity on killing europeans, in order to call Roger Waters an anti-Semite; for calling on rock-band Bon Jovi to not perform in Tel Aviv.
Howard Stern attempted to cancel Roger Waters, for his human rights advocacy, by making up racist claims about Palestinians and alleging the Pink Floyd front-man has a problem with Jews. This, of course, is very much in line with cancel culture, the idea that someone’s words or deeds can be taken out of context in order for a label to be placed upon them, with the intention of ruining their career and depriving them of financial stability. Yet, for Mr. Black-face, who called for mass murdering 5 year old children because they are Palestinians, he has never been deprived of his place in the mainstream press, nor his financial status, because he is apparently “woke”.
What this indicates, is that the so-called “Woke” phenomenon is not really about fighting racism and bigotry, it’s about who conforms with the Democratic Party’s newly adopted political line. Because Howard Stern supports COVID-19 jabs, gives lip service to Black Lives Matter, opposes his former long-time friend Donald Trump, and claims to support transgender rights, he is in the clear for his horrifically racist statements against Palestinians. Similarly, other show hosts, like Bill Maher, who has himself used the N-word and pilled in on Muslims and Arabs in the aftermath of 9/11, also face no consequences and go on about their lives, continuing to make copious sums of money.
The purpose in pointing this out is not to try and pile on in the culture war, where the Democratic Party plays the identity politics of the minority groups, while the Republican Party plays White identity politics, but to simply point out the complete hypocrisy of it all. On the Right, one of the most well known names at this time is Ben Shapiro, who tweeted out his belief in 2010 that “Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage. This is not a difficult issue. #settlementsrock“, which he later admitted was stupid to have said, but continues to argue that Palestinians are terrorists. He also continues to support settlement expansion, as well as a complete Israeli takeover of occupied Jerusalem from Arabs.
It is ironic that in the day and age where you are called a Trump supporting, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobe, for being skeptical of taking a vaccine, we see that the “Woke” Democratic Party and its celebrity cult following, can openly support the most racist country on earth that runs an Apartheid regime. We have also seen in the course of the war in Ukraine, that so-called progressives are willing to make excuses for neo-Nazi militias who lace their bullets in pig blood when fighting Muslims and that the Western corporate media will routinely espouse racist beliefs when covering the conflict, often without major consequences. If you needed an example of how hollow and contrived this current “Right vs Left” culture war is, this example really takes the cake.
