On his daily Facebook live podcast “The Ben Shapiro Show” Tuesday, host and Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Wire Ben Shapiro railed against the “anti-Israel bias in the media,” calling it “palpable” and explaining to his audience how it came about in the first place.

“The anti-Israel bias in the media is palpable,” said Ben Shapiro. “And we have to examine why that bias exists in the first place.”

Ben Shapiro’s remarks came just a day after President Donald J. Trump, according to CNSNews.com, “celebrated the opening of the first U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, saying that Israel is a sovereign nation with the right to determine its own capital,” and as the New York Times tweeted out, “‘Enough is enough’: United Nations human rights officials said that Israel’s use of lethal force against Palestinian demonstrators was unjustified and could amount to grave breaches of international law” and linked to an article with the headline, “Uneasy Calm Falls Over Gaza After Scores Killed in Protests.”

Below is a transcript of Ben Shapiro’s comments from his show on Tuesday:

“The anti-Israel bias in the media is palpable. And we have to examine why that bias exists in the first place. “I think that the bias exists for a couple of reasons. “Number one, if you look at media coverage of Israel up until 1967, it was very strongly in favor of Israel. That was because the Jews were seen as the victims until 1967. So, the media was very sympathetic to the plight of the Jews after the Holocaust, and they believed that Israel should become a state and Israel should, Israel was a thriving country that was moving in the direction of socialism. “In 1967, Israel not only defeats its enemies but destroys its enemies. Okay? In the Six Day War, Israel pushes Egypt all the way back to Cairo. Israel pushes into Jordan; Israel pushes into Syria; Israel pushes into Lebanon; it’s an amazing military feat. Okay? All of that was incredible.
