WEBVTT - Sharri | 7 October 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.640 Live from Israel, and this is a special edition of 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:11.280 Sharry Good Evening. I'm here in the heart of Israel. 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:16.160 One year ago, terrorists tried to destroy this nation in 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.639 one of the darkest days in Jewish history. Today we 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:25.120 remember the invasion that would change both Israel and life 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.720 as we know it. But we also recognize that Israel 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.800 is alive. It's fighting, it's determined to survive, and it 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.840 won't rest until it brings it's one hundred and one 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.840 hostages home. This is a significant show tonight. You don't 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.320 want to miss a minute. Farmer Israeli Prime Minister of 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.040 Tarlie Bennett is on the show. He has a strong 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:51.440 warning for terrorist sympathizers. I speak to freed hostage Aviva Siegel. 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.840 She describes in graphic detail what it was like in 0:00:55.880 --> 0:01:00.000 those underground her must tunnels and how the young women 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:04.920 women were being raped. Aviva is a living, breathing witness 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.959 to the horrors inflicted by her musk and a stark 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.880 reminder why the world can't abandon the women, children, and 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:17.959 even a baby still held hostage. Will also remember Galit Carbone. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.640 She's the only Australian murdered on October seven, and I 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.920 speak to her brother. He details her harrowing final moments, 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.360 her desperate struggle to survive as she tried in vain 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:35.640 to fight off terrorists at Kibutz BAIRI. Plus the latest 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:40.920 on the despicable Palestinian protests in Australia. They've even been 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:47.200 praised by Hesvela. How can some Australians be so heartless? 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.080 But first, one year on from the October seven attacks, 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.960 none of our lives will ever be the same again. 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.600 We can't go back to who we were on October 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:04.560 sixth last year. That innocence lost forever. The sun had 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:09.640 barely risen at Kibbutzbery when crazed terrorists went from door 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.680 to door, intent on murdering every Jew they could hunt down, 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:20.040 even babies. For six hours, Avida Bacha held the safe 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.760 room door shut. He was protecting his wife and their 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:28.040 two children. The terrorists, knowing someone was standing there on 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.160 the other side of the door, peppered the room with bullets. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.919 I stood in that safe room just a couple of 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.720 days ago, and looking around at the hundreds of bullet 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.520 holes in the walls and ceiling, it was hard to 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:46.240 imagine how anyone could have made it out alive. Mum 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:51.000 Dana was shot and so was her surfing loving son Carmel, 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:56.600 just fifteen years old. Dad Avida was shot too, but 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:02.640 he survived while his wife son bled to death in 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:03.520 that very. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:08.480 Room she was supposed to be in Sri Lanka for surfing, 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.919 was a surfer and he one of the last things 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.760 he said to his dead that bury me with my surfboard, 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:15.640 which he did. 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.040 We did last week. 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:17.880 We buried them. 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:25.760 Beck here, just fifteen years old. No child deserves this 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.440 and no girl should watch her mum and brother be 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:35.000 murdered over at Kibbutz Kafaraza. As the air raids sirens 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:41.080 went off, new parents had and Itai Berdiceski went to 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.000 their bomb shelter with their ten month old twins. The 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.760 loving parents were only thirty years old. Hayda's last text 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.760 message was at six fifty four am, and she joked 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.080 about being stuck in the bomb shelter with dirty nampies, 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.400 a joke any mum would have made. Her dead body 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:04.120 was later found in the kitchen. Her husband's body in 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:08.440 the bomb shelter near their babies, who were alive and crying. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.760 It appears he'd managed to put the twins on a 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.000 bed not exposed to the front door in the corner 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.000 of the room, and those babies ten months old. They 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.599 were there for twelve hours without food or water until 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.960 Israeli soldiers found them. 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.719 Sister's neighbor that he went back home and they lived 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.600 right next to each other, and he saw their door. 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:35.400 That the front door is open. He'sa an empty AK 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:40.760 forty seven magazine on the stairs, and that he hears 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:45.440 that they're twins. They had two baby twins ten months old. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:50.440 He heard them crying. He tried to get into the house, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:55.200 but every time he did, the terrorists shot at him, 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:59.040 so we couldn't get inside. Us told us that it's confirmed, 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.839 and a dark and entire Dad and I remember we 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:08.320 had this a minute or two that we kind of yeah, 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.039 I cried broke for a minute or two, but then 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.240 we looked at each other and was like, Okay, now 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.039 we don't have one baby to take care of. We 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.360 have three. 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.840 Those tiny babies are lucky to be alive, but they'll 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.160 never know their parents than our orphans being raised by 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.119 their uncle and I. At the same kibots, three little 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:34.440 children aged three, six and nine watched as their mom 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:39.360 and dad were murdered by Hamas six year old and Malia, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.160 nine year old. Michael hid in a cupboard, but little Abigail, 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.880 only three years old, was missing. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:06:03.480 Telephone, Michava little, that's gonna be telephone my dad, Michel Benedeta, telephone, 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:13.560 the Imma metaforel bit the k. 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.240 That was seven a m. By the afternoon, they were 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.800 still hiding in the closet, a six year old and 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.320 a nine year old. Twelve hours later and this was 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:42.760 the emotional moment when they were finally rescued Maria, but 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.520 three year old Abigail was taken hostage. She turned four 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.800 in Gaza without a single member of her family around her, 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.560 just terror. When she was released as part of the 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:59.120 ceasefire deal, she came home an orphan and the three 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:04.960 children are now with relatives. The trauma very real. Over 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.400 at the Nova Music Festival site, four hundred young Israelis 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.720 were hunted and murdered, gone down or burnt in fire, 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:19.080 girls were raped. Those who survived tell just unbelievable stories 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.520 of running, hiding in the bushes, in abandoned cars, and 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:28.480 playing dead, all trying to stay one step ahead of death, 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:33.080 not knowing which way to turn. We'd hope that we. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:40.040 Escape from the terrorists that come from one direction from 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:45.720 this point, and when we reach to the road, we 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.120 get shot from the bury directions. 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.200 So they surrounding us. 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:53.120 And we. 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.800 Leaned on the road hiding. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:03.880 Run from wherever you try to go, you have terrorists. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.400 They're coming from that direction with Rpgan. From the underdirection, 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.000 you have cipers, and then you see them on motorcycles 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.560 and it's you just don't have a good option. They 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:15.280 don't have her to go. 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:23.560 Entire families were slaughtered one year ago today Tamar, her 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.600 husband Jonatan. They're five and a half year old, twin 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:31.560 daughters Shah and Abel, and their son Omer, aged just two. 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.760 They were all murdered at their home in Kibbutz near Oz. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.199 Terrorists also shot dead parents Dina and Evgeny, and their 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:44.760 daughters Eleene aged eight and Ethan, aged five, as they 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.800 returned to their home from a camping trip after hearing 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:52.000 sirens and came across hermus on the road. There were 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:56.000 more than one two hundred Israelis massacred on October seven 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:01.199 in what is a true genocide committed by Hamas and 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:06.000 Palestine in Islamic g hat. According to Israeli data, thirty 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:11.120 eight children were murdered on October seven, thirty eight children. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.679 This vision is distressing, just a warning, but you can 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.160 see the blood soaked cots where some were killed, and 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:22.920 twenty children had both parents killed. Ninety six children had 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.400 one parent killed, and there are fifteen children who still 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:31.320 have both one parents held hostage in Gaza. And then 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.240 there's the child hostages who still haven't been released by Hermas. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:40.720 Baby Kafir Bivas. He was kidnapped at nine months old 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.800 along with his brother Ariel, who was four. Kafa turned 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:52.160 one in captivity and his brother turned five. No birthday celebrations, presents, cake, 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.199 or even sunlight. We don't know if they're still alive. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.480 We don't know if baby Kafir ever made it to 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:04.600 his firm birthday. They're among the one hundred and one children, 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:09.240 elderly women and men who are still hostage in Gaza. 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.600 It's believed many of them are being used as human 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:18.280 shields to protect the cowardly harmas leader Yaya Sinha. Some 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:24.200 hostages thankfully have made at home through unbelievably courageous rescue 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:29.200 missions or early ceasefire ideals. Those who have made at 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.200 home face deep trauma. Some are a shelf of their 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:34.079 former selves. 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:34.800 Now. 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.240 I'm going to share some of these stories with you 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.719 either tonight or over the next few days. But this 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:45.600 celebration of death by Hermas speaks to something darkly wrong 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.199 with the education and political system in Gaza, where the 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:53.400 government pays a salary to the families whose sons or 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:59.360 daughters are martyrs or terrorists, where school children are indoctrinated 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.199 to want death to Jews. Yet instead of trying to 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:08.000 change the Palestinian leadership and actually support Israel in removing 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:13.240 the terror threat, the international community makes daily demands of 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.439 the Jewish nation. The October seven terror attacks, in truth, 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:23.079 have only benefitted the Palestinian cause, which has since received 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.840 billions of dollars in funding and has improved its international 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:31.240 standing at bodies like the United Nations. The horrors inflicted 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.960 by Himas have not only rocked to Israel, but they've 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:40.760 exposed the failings in Western civilization. We simply can't imagine 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:46.160 anyone trying to claim the Holocaust should be contextualized, yet 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.040 that somehow Jews brought it upon themselves. Yet that's the 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.640 kind of unforgivable victim blaming that we've seen on a 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.640 daily basis over the past year, as the world urged 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:02.679 Israel to pack up, go home, forget the hostages, and 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:08.440 let the terrorists live. The October seven attacks rocked Israel 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.280 to its core, and Israelis continue to grapple with the 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:19.240 enormity of this devastating loss. But there's also a renewed 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:24.400 determination to survive. There's strength and resolve in the face 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.959 of weak Western leadership that knows nothing about the threat 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.400 of terror on their doorstep, yet they seek to impose 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.560 their virtue signaling ideas upon a people who've always had 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:41.400 to fight for survival. The lessons of past persecutions will 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:47.439 not be easily forgotten the anniversary today, it's important. We 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:52.640 can't look away. This is history in the making, history 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.800 of the very worst kind, and we have to bear 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:05.880 witness of all the one two hundred innocent victims of 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.160 October seven. It was the kibbutzim near the border of 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.719 Gaza which bore the brunt of the massacre. As I've 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:17.079 been saying, entire families murdered. The only Australian victim that 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.760 day Garlic Carbone, and she fought a desperate but ultimately 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.600 hopeless battle to survive. I spoke to her brother Danny 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.800 Masner at Kiboltz Bery where so many lost their lives, 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:34.320 and a warning this interview it's a must watch. It's powerful, 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.120 it's also confronting. 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.000 The rockets came down really heavily. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.439 That a friend of mine saw from his house all 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.680 the Hamas guys on their bikes and their pickup trucks, 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.160 and that was about six thirty from the road that's 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.319 surrounding the Kibbutz. They came from the strip. They murdered 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.839 the guy that's really in charge of the security on 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.719 the Kibuti came. It didn't know anything what happened, and 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.360 they just shot him and that was it. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.040 Many families called this Cubo time. Eleven hundred people lived 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.840 here before October seven, including your sister Gallette. How many were. 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.400 Killed a year ago, it's one hundred and two people 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:22.440 from our community. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.240 That's nearly ten percent. 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.400 As you can see on the banner here on the side, 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:32.560 we still have hopefully three hostages, kidnapped people that are 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:37.040 still alive, and seven bodies that need to be returned 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.280 for permanent beryl that we know that they're dead. 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.479 So it's something really unthinkable. 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.720 So they climbed the gates. How did they physically get They. 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.280 Broke in this window and they pressed the electricty gate 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:52.720 and they opened it and. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:57.440 They just stormed inside. They just came in numbers, more 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:58.360 and more and more. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:06.600 Which should we go inside and show us what happened? Yes, indeed, so, Danny, 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.240 your sister Garlett was here in her home on the 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.640 morning of October seven when her mask came inside her house. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:15.280 What happened? 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.160 From what I know, She rang me at twelve or 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.360 nine twelve pm and telling me. 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:27.280 That she hears them inside the house and she's not 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.560 sure if she locked the door, didn't lock the door, 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.160 as if it really matters, And I told her, okay, 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.520 let's whisper, let's not them here that. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.840 Let them know that someone's there. She was in her 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.200 safe she was in a safety room. 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:46.080 Of course, she was holding the handle, and you know 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.880 it's it's other who's going to bend first. 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.240 You know, she didn't stand a chance, not one chance. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.160 My father was overseas. He's a ninety one year old. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.400 It was at ninety at the time, you old Holocaust 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.800 survivor from France, and I had to tell him that 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.760 daughter was murdered on the keyboards by Yeah, it was 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:06.680 certainly and definitely the hardest thing I. 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:07.680 Had to do in my life. 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.440 You both grew up in Australia. 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.320 Yeah, we grew up till she was eleven. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.240 I was seven when we left Sydney to come to 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:16.680 these keyboats Kibutzberi. 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.200 So the rest of her life was really based in 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.920 this keyboat. She had children here. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.520 Yeah, she had kids here and her life was here. Really, 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.000 she had a very comfortable life. She has three kids, 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.600 six grandkids, and she loved them all. 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.720 Did the terrorists they come to your house or they. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:43.080 Just moved underneath? They burned a few houses next to me. 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.960 They murdered a few people next to me. I live 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.920 on the second floor. So hopefully that's what saved me. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:50.960 I'd say, when the. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.280 Army evacuated you and you would have walked through the keyboards, 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:54.720 it just. 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:59.560 Must have looked like something apocalyptia. It was a graveyard. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.440 It was everything was burnt. 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.240 And it was just and I was sort of like 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.240 as a sort of speaks, tall guy. The soldiers told 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.320 the kids behind me, looks forward, straight ahead of him, 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:12.800 don't look sidewards. 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.320 All the families who lived here were defenseless. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.800 That I want to protect them absolutely. 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.520 The Foreign Minister, Pennywong refused to come here. She refused 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.720 to see firsthand what had happened. She did visit Israel, 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.760 but she refused to come to the keyboard. Sim what's 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:29.639 your reaction to that? 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:38.600 Well, that's really a mind blower, Shari, because one would think, Okay, 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.000 you made a trip half around the world, you circle 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.720 the globe, you got to Israel, and when you asked 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.119 why didn't you come down to Berea, why didn't you 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:52.119 contact any one of your civilians that live overseas. The 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.200 only thing you could say, oh, I had to meet 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.160 mister Danny danone yad Vashem. 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:57.680 I didn't have time. 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.600 I mean, seriously, you're the foreign minister of a big 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:06.399 country called Australia. You come over to Israel. You've got 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.720 one citizen that was murdered. I think it's the only 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:14.119 Australian citizen on the attack. Please make a little effort. 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.120 I'm not saying much, contact us, contact her kids, come 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.119 and see what happened firsthand. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:20.399 You know. 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.800 So this is typical of what happened to so many 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.159 homes on October seventh. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:34.119 Yeah, unfortunately, Yes, this is a house of Vivia and Silver, 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:39.400 Jewish Canadian that moved from Canada to Israel many years ago. 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.080 She retired and she. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:47.159 Dedicated her life to help the poor Palestinians living in 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:53.960 Gaza regarding their health condition and unfortunately she founded. She 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.040 found her death in her house. She was burnt and 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.879 it took while to identify via DNA. 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.560 She was in her safe room. But they burnt down the. 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.720 Hand, burnt everything, and it took a while to really 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:11.800 understand that it's her, and that just shows that they 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:13.280 killed and murdered everyone. 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.280 So this is a safe room. There was a family here, 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:23.280 two children. I mean, there's hundreds of bullet holes around 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:23.640 the room. 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.960 This is a typical safety room like we all have. 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:31.960 It's a nine square meter and everyone was supposed to 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.520 go in the safety rooms and close or lock the 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:39.520 door behind. So did this family, My friend Avida and 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:44.080 his wife Dona and two kids, Calmel and Hadaal, And 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.960 they went in here and about an hour after the 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.359 vists got to this place, and they had to hold 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:51.760 between them. 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.879 Between Carmel and Avida, they held the handle. 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.240 There's no locks, so that was holding it shot. 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:58.359 They were holding it one way while they're trying the 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.480 other way, and then he told them go away in Arabic, 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:08.040 there's only kids here, and obviously they didn't and they 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.159 realized that if the handle is here someone standing in 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:14.280 front of they start shooting. Calmel was shot in the shoulder, 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:20.280 a video was shot both legs and Dana was sitting here, 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:26.200 the wife, the mother, and she got hurt through a ribcage, 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.720 a very small and tiny hole which he didn't even 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.520 see any blood, but she started to gasp for air 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:36.760 and afterwards that was it. 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.600 She bled internally. Yeah. 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:45.159 Absolutely, And one of the sons, Calmel, which he was 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.600 supposed to be in Sri Lanka for surfing, was a 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.200 surfer and one of the last things he said to 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:55.400 his dad that bury me with my surfboard, which he did. 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:56.880 We did last week. 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.640 Such a heartbreaking story and walking through that kidbootz, of course, 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:12.040 was really quite emotional. Well let's turn to politics now, 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.640 and there's a lot of debate in Israel and around 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.520 the world about how exactly to eliminate the terror threat. 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.440 Farmer Israeli Prime Minister and f Tarlie Bennett, who's a 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:26.800 political rival of Netanyahu joined me a little while ago. 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:31.520 Here's that interview. Former Prime Minister Aftali Bennett, thank you 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.560 so much for joining us today. I want to start 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:38.320 with your reflections a year on from the October seven 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:39.200 terror attacks. 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:45.480 You know, October seventh was a day that caused great 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:50.480 trauma for the people of Israel. They were at an 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:57.080 institutional level, the government, the military, the institutions failed. But 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.600 on the same day it was also a day of 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:04.520 great heroism of the nation of Israel, the people, especially 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:08.359 the younger generation, where thousands of young men and women 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:13.240 got in their cars and drove down to the Gaza 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:18.360 envelope in order to save lives of their brothers and sisters, 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:22.560 who many of them have never met before, and many 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:26.840 of them fell in the action while fighting terrorists. This 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:31.040 is unheard of, this degree of heroism. So I would say, 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:35.840 we've learned that we have an amazing nation, but we've 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:40.159 also learned that our institutions failed us badly and we 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:41.000 need to fix them. 0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:48.280 Will you say your institutions failed you badly? And Naftali Bennett, 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:51.200 I've spent the past few days speaking to people who 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.200 survived the Nova Music Festival and also people at the 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.800 kibbut Sim who lost loved ones, and they told me 0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:01.159 that many were left to fend for them for twelve 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:05.960 hours or more. Why did the military fail to arrive? 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:07.280 Why did it take so long? 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:13.840 This is one of the biggest failures, perhaps the biggest 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:17.160 failure in the history of the State of Israel. You see, 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:21.359 the State of Israel was established precisely so Jews would 0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:26.359 never again be under massacres for hours and hours of 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:31.840 pogrom like we were in Europe or in North Africa, helpless. 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:37.400 And that's, unfortunately exactly what happened. This is a magnitude 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:41.440 of an epic failure of the State of Israel. And 0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.240 as I said, the people who saved the day are 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:49.000 the nation and the younger generation. There were about sixty 0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:54.680 communities under attack. There were four massacres that took place 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:59.640 in Kibutsk, far As Biri, Neurals and the Nova Music 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:05.200 Fest of all. But in the other sixty communities, the 0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:11.600 few civilians that were there repelled dozens and dozens of 0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:15.440 terrorists at the highest degree of heroism. We're going to 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:16.680 have to learn the lessons. 0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:22.560 Well, how do we learn those lessons? Do you think 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:24.920 that now that it has been a year. It's time 0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:27.320 to start talking about an inquiry. 0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:35.560 Absolutely, we need to form a national inquiry. I think 0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:40.400 it's a long time should have been done already. Now 0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:42.800 that we're a year in we need to do it. 0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:43.560 We need to be. 0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:49.920 As honest with ourselves and open with ourselves so something 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:53.160 like this can never again occur. I think it would 0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:56.240 be wrong to postpone this any longer. 0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:02.440 Mister Bennett and Australia. This weekend and even today on 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:07.560 October seven, we've seen the most disgraceful pro Palestinian rallies 0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:12.359 Hesbala flags being waived, or flags with na Israela's face 0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:16.159 on them. We've seen similar scenes at university campuses around 0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:20.040 the world where students are even saying that Israel shouldn't 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:21.600 have the right to exist. 0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:26.200 What's your response to all of this, Well, I don't 0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:31.600 give them what some snotty student whose parents are spending 0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:34.159 one hundred thousand dollars a year to send them to 0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:38.840 gender studies at Harvard what he thinks about whether I 0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:40.760 have a right or don't have a right to live 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:45.400 in my homeland. We live here, this is Israel has 0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:49.399 been the Jewish ancestral land for almost four thousand years. 0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:53.639 I've fought for this land. I've lost very good friends 0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:57.280 fighting on this land. My son is in a combat unit. 0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:03.240 And the fact that there are extremely confused students in 0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:07.200 Harvard or Ivy League schools around the world that think 0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:11.840 they have the right to even a doubt whether we 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:15.760 have the right to live here, that's ridiculous. The problem 0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:19.360 is there is not ours. Israel is a nation of lions. 0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:26.040 The Israelis are, in my opinion, the bravest, have the 0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:29.800 bravest younger generation in the world. We're going to win 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:35.040 our and defeat our enemies. And you know these students 0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:38.080 should spend their time on better endeavors. 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:45.720 Very well said, completely agree. Turning to around now, we're 0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:50.760 seeing the international community demand of Israel as ceasefire. There 0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:54.680 are concerns by the US President Joe Biden that this 0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.600 could lead to a wider regional escalation if Israel does 0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:03.280 retaliate again. Anst Iran, what's your response to the international 0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.399 community demanding a ceasefire and do you think Israel should 0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:12.400
