Digital Social Hour · Luke Thomas Breaks Silence on Charlie Kirk’s Death | DSH #1572 · 16 Oct 2025 podcast

Um, the only time in my life, so I've criticized different countries at different points in different sports contexts, Qatar in the World Cup, I mean, um, you know, China with the Olympics with the Uighur Muslims or, you know, whatever the situation may be relevant to that.

The only time I ever got a phone call about a country I criticized

was when I asked why a MMA organization that's now defunct called Bellator, why they were holding shows in Israel.

This was 2018.

That is the only time I ever got a call about it where someone was asking me, hey, maybe tone this down and don't do it.

And I was simply asking a question, which is why are MMA promotions going to a country that has been credibly accused of apartheid?

It's a very simple question.

And, um...

there was more resistance to that than anything I'd ever faced.

So even prior to all of this, even in a sporting context, this is not something I've ever been especially quiet about.

I did not know that was going on in 2018.

Well, I mean, I don't know how far you want to go back.

There's a question about what...

what is the, you know, what is, uh, the problems that exist between Israel and Palestine go back to 1940s, 1947, 1948.

I mean, these are, and there's a question about, like, what kind of project has been built this entire time, and what does that say about the plight of the Palestinians?

I mean, it's not in any way controversial to say that the Palestinians, for example, in the West Bank

They live under military occupation.

That is a fact.

It is an unequal society in what is ostensibly Palestinian territory.

This did not happen starting in 2020.
