1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: We saw unspeakable evil over the weekend, and that's where 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: we are right now. This is a battle between good 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: versus evil. There are no two sides to this equation. 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: There is no moral equivalency between Hamas terrorists and Israelis. 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: Twelve hundred Jews were slaughtered. 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 2: In one day. 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: Now, that number could change, but that's the most Jews 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: killed in a single day since the Holocaust. Let me 9 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: repeat that, the most Jews killed in a single day 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: since the Holocaust. Now it might be a different face, 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: but it's the same evil, with the same objective, the 12 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: genocide of the Jews. At least twenty nine hundred injured, 13 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: over one hundred hostages taken, twenty two Americans, killed, babies, decapitated, 14 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: women raped. A festival of young people turned into a 15 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: killing field with two hundred and sixty slaughtered. Women were 16 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: raped next to the bodies of their dead friends. Hamas 17 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: killed idf put on their uniforms so concertgoers thought they 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: were running to safety, only to be executed. We all 19 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: watched in horror as a naked woman was paraded around 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: with her limbs broken as these monsters cheered. That is 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: what happened over the weekend in Israel, rather than condemn that, 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 1: rather than call that out as evil and its purest form. 23 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: We have seen rallies in Western nations cheering this on gas. 24 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: The Jews has been chanted in Sydney, Australia. Swastikas have 25 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 1: been held up in New York City. And these aren't 26 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: just fringe groups either. College universities are cheering this sound 27 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: are rallying in support of the murder of Jews. The 28 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: Democrat Socialists of America held a rally in New York City. 29 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: This isn't a fringe group. This is a group that 30 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: got aoc Rashida talib Alatom are elected to Congress. This 31 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: is a group that's getting members of Congress elected, a 32 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: group that hates Jews. Now, I don't know about you, 33 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: but I was naive to the anti Semitism that exists 34 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: in the world. 35 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: Well I'm not naive anymore. Israel has declared war for the. 36 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: First time since nineteen seventy three. The future is uncertain. 37 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: Will this be regional war? Will it be a world war? 38 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: Who have we let in the country under open border policies? 39 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: Weak men create hard times, and Joe Biden is a 40 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: weak man. This is a scary time to be living. 41 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: It's a scary time to be alive. I went to 42 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: an event at a synagogue the other day. A woman 43 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: came up to me crying, thanking me for the things 44 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: I said over the week. And as I covered this 45 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: on Fox News, and it hit home to me the 46 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: duty of this job in bringing you the truth, which 47 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: is what I always strive to do, and that's what 48 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: I promised you that I will be doing in the 49 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: coming weeks and months. As we cover the story today, 50 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: we're going to have a man by the name of 51 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: Ria Lightstone on the show. He was a senior advisor 52 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: in chief of staff to US Ambassador of Israel, David 53 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: Friedman under the Trump administration. He is also a rabbi. 54 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: He was in Israel during the time of the tax 55 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: He's at Israel now. We're going to get his take 56 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: on all of this. Where does it go, what should 57 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: you know? And what has it been like living in 58 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: Israel during all of this. Stay tuned for Rabbi Aria Lightstone. Aria, 59 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming on the show. You are in 60 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: Israel right now, so you're having to deal with bomb threats, 61 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: to have to go down to the shelter, so you're 62 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: on constant alert right now. You have been living this 63 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: nightmareor in Israel from the beginning. 64 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: How are you doing? 65 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: So, thank you so much for asking, and thank you 66 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: for allowing us to sort of bring what I think 67 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: is a horrendous picture to the American people, because this 68 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: is not in a fight that Israel has. I think 69 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: it's a generational fight, and it's important for people to 70 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: know what it is that they're fighting. So this Saturday 71 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: day morning, I was on the way to synagogue, as 72 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 3: I do every Saturday morning, and I stopped by somebody 73 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: anxiously speaking on the street who said, get inside, get inside. 74 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 3: And I turned to him and I said, well, why 75 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: am I getting inside? He says, there are terrorists roaming 76 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 3: around in trucks shooting civilians, and that's just not something 77 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: that you can even contemplate. I'm like, that's not possible, 78 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: and I continue walking to synagogue because I assume that 79 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: he was deranged. Because it's Israel. I live in like 80 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 3: the nicest neighborhood in this entire country. My kids walk 81 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: themselves to school, and my youngest daughter is six, has 82 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 3: always walked yourselves to swarm saying this is as safe 83 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: as safe can be, and we don't carry phones on 84 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 3: the Sabbath, etc. And a security personnel came around about 85 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 3: an hour later and said, no, everybody's got to go, 86 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: and we all went to our homes. We locked the doors, 87 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: we sort of barricaded ourselves in however you do in 88 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: a traditional suburban home, and waited for after Sabbath to 89 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: turn our phones on it to see what had happened. 90 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: And nothing in our wildest imagination prepared ourselves for the 91 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: worst day in Jewish history since the Holocaust. Over one 92 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 3: thousand Jewish civilians murdered, rape, kidnapped, pillage toddlers, grandmothers, Holocaust survivors, 93 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: and ultimately, yesterday we found out over forty babies murdered 94 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: in their cribs and several of them decapitated. This is 95 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 3: not things that the human language was created to use 96 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 3: words for, and that the human mind is capable of 97 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 3: truly comprehending. 98 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: And you mentioned the most Jews killed in a single 99 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: day since the Holocaust. I mean the evil has a 100 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: different face, but the intention is the same, which is 101 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: the genocide of Jews. 102 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 4: That's exactly correct. 103 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 3: And you had mentioned to me when we were chatting 104 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: offline before, and so what's it like. It must be 105 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 3: a small minority people. There were fifteen hundred terrorists who 106 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 3: came into Israel on that day for the sole intent 107 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: of murdering Jews. That there's no conquering Israel. That's insane. 108 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 3: They came just to murder. They didn't go for military targets. 109 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 3: They went for women and children. When people were in 110 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: their house, they burnt the house so they would either 111 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: burn inside. 112 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 4: Or go outside where they would be executed. 113 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 3: I mean, these are things that I grew up reading 114 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: about the Holocaust, not understanding or thinking that it could 115 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 3: happen in twenty twenty three, not to Chows and not 116 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 3: to anybody anywhere. 117 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 4: This level of barbarism is unfathomable. 118 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: Frankly, we're talking about As I had told you, I 119 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: feel so naive and having watching the response to evil, 120 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: which is what it was. I mean, it's just evil, 121 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: and it's purest harm for incomprehensible evil that we saw, 122 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, just this terrorism that took place. But to 123 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: see people in the Western world cheer it on is 124 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: the most disgusting. 125 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: Thing I have ever seen. 126 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: And I feel so naive, you know, I have a 127 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: lot of Jewish people in my life who I love, 128 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: my friends, and I feel so naive to not have 129 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: realized how much anti Semitism exists in the world, and 130 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: to watch chance of gas the Jews take place in 131 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: City Australia, or people holding up swastikas in New York 132 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: City is just truly disgusting. 133 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 4: Thank you for saying that. 134 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 3: As a Jewish American, the last twenty years have made 135 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: it more to I'm an identifiable Orthodox Jew. 136 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,119 Speaker 4: I wear a head covering at all times. 137 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: It is safer for me to walk and read Saudi 138 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 3: Arabia with Miyamaica I keep on my head. 139 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 4: Covering on than it is to ride the subway in 140 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 4: New York City. 141 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: The issue, if we want to sort of diagnose it 142 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 3: a little bit, is about twenty years ago it became 143 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 3: all the rage in super intellectual and academic circles to 144 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: pontificate over whether Israel has the right to exist. Now, 145 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: to the best of my knowledge, nobody's ever had an 146 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 3: academic course on whether Poland has the right to exist. 147 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 3: For Guatemala has the right to exist. Cost Rica were 148 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 3: going to say has a right to exist. But you 149 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: can have a PhD in discussing whether or not Israel 150 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: has the right to exist as a country. 151 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 4: And here's the code word that they were saying. 152 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: It's not asking whether Israel the country has a right 153 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 3: to exist, They're asking a genocidal question. You can get 154 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: a PhD in this genocidal question, do Jews have a 155 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 3: right to exist? And I'll tell him exactly how. I 156 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: know that the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmurabas, wrote 157 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 3: his PhD dissertation in a Holocaust denial. 158 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 4: And every president. 159 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: Since he's become the president, So forour presidents up until 160 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: Donald Trump believed that President of bas is a legitimate 161 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: peacemaker that Israel can shake hands with and trust. And 162 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: here's a person who wrote his PhD on the fact 163 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: that the Holocaust did not happen. So this anti Semitism 164 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 3: that we're seeing is coming to the forefront. I'm sure 165 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 3: you saw the meme that Black Lives Matter in Chicago 166 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: put out today, the picture of a flag of Palestine 167 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 3: parachuting down. Why the parachute because many of the murderers 168 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: came from Gaza into Israel on paragliders, and so it 169 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: was a message from the Black Lives Matter of Chicago Palestinians, 170 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: we stand with you. And what that means is, Palestinians, 171 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 3: we root on. You're raping and you're pillaging, and you're murdering, 172 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 3: and you're decapitating of babies. That is what they are saying, 173 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 3: And they share our sidewalks, they go to our schools, 174 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 3: and every major corporation in America, to the best of 175 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: my knowledge, paid the ransom money to Black Lives Matter, 176 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 3: because if you didn't. 177 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 4: You're racist. 178 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: How challenging does that make it with Israel's response, because 179 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: you know, obviously they are fighting a war against tomas, 180 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: but they're also fighting this propaganda war that you just 181 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: laid out, and you see clips on to be see 182 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: of you know, people excusing what happened and blaming Israel, 183 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: which is disgusting. 184 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: You see what's happening on these college campuses. 185 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: Talk about the challenges with that of not only fighting 186 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,239 Speaker 1: an actual war, but having to take on this propaganda 187 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: war as well. 188 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: So I'll tell you I don't think it's a challenge. 189 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 3: I think it's a blessing. And what I mean by 190 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: that is if there was nuance here, then I think 191 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: maybe Israel would have a challenge. But if you can 192 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: have somebody who defends the murdering of babies and the 193 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 3: kidnapping of Holocaust survivors. There is nothing that human being 194 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 3: can say that I will ever value at all. If 195 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 3: they were to tell me there's a discount on a 196 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 3: new tesla, I would not trust them because their value 197 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 3: judgments are so completely and totally off. He and I, 198 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 3: or she and I, or likely in their case, they 199 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: and I don't share anything in common. There is no 200 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 3: common value, There is no soul, there is no humanity. 201 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: So therefore what they say is valueless to me, and 202 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: I'm optimistic that'll be valueless to the state of Israel. 203 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 3: Rashida fleeb Our, venerated congresswoman from Michigan, was asked for 204 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 3: seventy one seconds by an enterprising Fox News reporter, do 205 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 3: you have anything to say about the murdering of forty babies? 206 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 3: Many of them decapitate. Now I'm not possible why decapitation 207 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: makes it worse or better, but that seems to be 208 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: something that people seem to want to talk about. And 209 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 3: for seventy one seconds she no commented this, Lady, we 210 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: have a member of comment of Congress who cannot condemn 211 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: the murdering of forty baby Jews. Let's just let that 212 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: sink in for a moment. So therefore, when she passes 213 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 3: a bill or has a resolution, or has an opinion, 214 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 3: I would hope that the Prime Minister of Israel, whoever 215 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 3: he or she would be in this case b v. 216 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: Nitan the isl will not give a damn about whatever 217 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: somebody that morally bankrupt would say, because I wouldn't trust 218 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: her to give me advice on which apple to pick 219 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: out in the grocery store, let alone what foreign policy 220 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: I need. So in this case, I think this challenge 221 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: has turned into a blessing because they have shown us 222 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 3: who they are. 223 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: Quick commercial break. Please stay with us, Rabbi, just to 224 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: give people perspective. Before we jumped on, you had a 225 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: bomb shelter scare. So this is the threat that you 226 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: are living with in Israel. People are living with right now. 227 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 4: You know. 228 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: Just take us through what it's been like to be 229 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: there since this happened. I mean, I can't imagine how 230 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: terrifying it is for everyone to do. You just be 231 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: on constant alert. 232 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've taken to sleeping down in the bomb shelter 233 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 3: because we have little children and from previous times where 234 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 3: we've had to go into the bomb shelter. I've discovered 235 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: it's far more jarring for kids to be woken up 236 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 3: in the middle of the night and moved, as opposed 237 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 3: to saying, hey, we're gonna have a fun movie night. 238 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 3: But we are so blessed we have a large bomb 239 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 3: shelter that we can all sleep in, and that's fine. 240 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: There are people who their bomb shelter and apartment buildings 241 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 3: is sharing the stairwell and it's not comfortable for the 242 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 3: whole building to go into that there well. And the 243 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: reason why it is called terrorism is because it makes 244 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 3: you terrified. And I will tell you this, My kids 245 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: do not deserve to be terrified. What is their crime 246 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 3: that they're Jewish? Do you know what terrified means? In 247 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 3: this particular case, when my kid wants to go on 248 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: a play date, which I don't let them right now 249 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: because the situation is too dangerous, But in a week 250 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: from now, when things hopefully calm down and my kid 251 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 3: wants to go on a plate, we play a game 252 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: which is called which house can knock on within the 253 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 3: sixty seconds that you have to get to a bomb 254 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: shelter that you know will open the door for you, 255 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: because when you go three blocks away to Synagogu or 256 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 3: to the park, you need to know that you can 257 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: get into a bomb shelter when you hear that siren. 258 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 3: And my parents, who are not the youngest people in 259 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 3: the history of the world, I don't want them running 260 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: downstairs in those sixty seconds, so they're stuck in the house. 261 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: The insanity of this that come As knows they can't 262 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 3: beat Israel. Israel as a first rate army, with a 263 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: first rate economy, with first rate intelligence, obviously with major 264 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: failures this past week. The goal is to terrorize people 265 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 3: because they are Jewish, and my response to that is 266 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: two enormous middle fingers. 267 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: I was reading about that festival and that Hamas was 268 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: killing IDF soldiers, putting on the uniform so people thought 269 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: they were running to safety, only to get executed in 270 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: point blank range, to have women raped next to the 271 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: dead bodies of their friends. You know, we all saw 272 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: the body of that young woman with limbs broken, being 273 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: paraded around the streets. You had worked on peace in 274 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: the Middle East with the Abraham Accords, trying to normalize 275 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: Arab is really relationships, you know, really, the first time 276 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: this has happened since nineteen ninety four. 277 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: How do we go from that to this? 278 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness, just as you described the images, they 279 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: flashed into my mind. They're ingrained on the inside of 280 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: my highlights. 281 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 4: It's difficult to sleep thinking of their mothers, their fathers, 282 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 4: their siblings. It's a it's a dark day. It's a 283 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 4: dark week for the Jewish people. It's a dark week 284 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 4: for the people of Israel. It's a dark week for 285 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 4: people who love civilization and value life. 286 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: So how do we get here and how do we 287 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 3: get back? The answer is Iran. The President Trump understood 288 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 3: that if you put Iran in a box, you deprive 289 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: the proxies of the gasoline that they need to fuel 290 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 3: their horrendous activities. When you take Iran out of that box, 291 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 3: that money comes and has spread to the proxies with 292 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 3: an opportunity to be able to cause enormous damage, in 293 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: this case death and destruction. And I'll be even more 294 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 3: sharp on that. The prevailing wisdom before Jared Chushier, David Freedman, 295 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 3: Donald Trump was that you need to be a neutral 296 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 3: arbiter in between the Israelis and the Palestinians because they 297 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: both have equal claims whatever that's supposed to mean. In fact, 298 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 3: will not use the word terrorists in describing these gunmen, 299 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 3: because if you use the word terrorists, you are going 300 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 3: to prejudice your viewers and listeners in terms of who 301 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 3: these people are, and people might decide, oh, terrorists don't 302 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 3: have equal claim over the land. So this is prevailing 303 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 3: wisdom in the Western world. So what do we do 304 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: about prevailing wisdom in the Western world? Trump turned it 305 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 3: on its head. He said, no, we're going to recognize 306 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 3: jewsalem as the capitalist or we're going to move our 307 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 3: embassy to Jerusalem. We're going to recognize Israeli sovereignty over 308 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 3: the Goal on Heights. Because all these things are known 309 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 3: to the whole world, but we're hiding them. They're a 310 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 3: mask of pseudo intellectualism and this ridiculous academia where we 311 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: can contemplate and pontificate whether Israel should exist or not. 312 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 3: And what happened when the United States of America stood 313 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 3: next to Israel. Israel was stronger, and when Israel was stronger, 314 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 3: it was much more attractive to make peace with, and 315 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: peace broke out in between Israel and five other countries. 316 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 3: Because there are two different types of countries in this region. 317 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 3: They're likely to different types of countries in the entire world, 318 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 3: those who are forward looking and those who were backwards looking. 319 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 3: And for too long, the Middle East was captivated by 320 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: garbage leaders who would manipulate their people. And instead of 321 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 3: blaming the fact that they were corrupt kleptocrats, they blamed Israel. 322 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 3: Because who hasn't blamed the Jews in the last three 323 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 3: thousand years for something They took a page right out 324 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 3: of the Nazis, So any country that has problems in them, 325 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 3: and just name all the countries in the Middle East, 326 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: they would blame the Jews. And there's a deep imbued 327 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 3: hatred for the last seventy plus years because look at 328 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 3: the neighbors around Israel. They are all pretty garbage places 329 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 3: to live. The people who were in charge want to 330 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 3: keep their people down. So if you blame somebody else 331 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 3: other than yourself, you can wind up being successful. And 332 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 3: that's the hatred that was there. But something fantastic happen 333 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: when you had a leader like Sheik Muhammad anzaiet out 334 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 3: of the United Arab Emirates, and if you haven't been 335 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 3: to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, you should go. There are 336 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 3: unbelievable places to visit where the leaders have taken their 337 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 3: enormous wealth and invested in their people instead of kept 338 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 3: their people at bank. And you have a country there 339 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 3: that says, maybe the future can be better than the past, 340 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 3: and let's make peace with israelm and Bahrain followed, and 341 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 3: then Morocco followed, because those leaders want to create a 342 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 3: Middle East where there's opportunity for all and they don't 343 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: want to litigate the past over and over and over again. 344 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 3: And then you have other countries where the leaders don't 345 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 3: have the ability to do that because if they do, 346 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 3: people will discover that they are the fraudulent criminals that 347 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 3: they have always been. I will give you two examples 348 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 3: for that, and I apologize you hit a point. 349 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 4: That I'm very passionate about. 350 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 2: No, please go on. 351 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: I had the privilege of bringing eleven Palestinians to Bahrain 352 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 3: and twenty nineteen. 353 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 4: As part of Jared Kushner's Peace to Prosperity Workshop. 354 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 3: Now, the Palaestinian authority wouldn't show up because they did 355 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 3: not want to get money. Because if they get money 356 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 3: for investments in the region, that means they're going to 357 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 3: lose control because you'll have actual businesses and something to lose, 358 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: and their people might not hate the Jew so much. 359 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 3: I found eleven brave business people who were willing to 360 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 3: go ownly. Nine of them got on a plane after 361 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 3: the end of the two day conference in Bahrain. They 362 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 3: looked at me in the eye and said, Aria, if 363 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 3: we go back. 364 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 4: To the West Bank, they will murder us. What was 365 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 4: their crime? Their crime was. 366 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: Meeting with people to talk about how the Palestinians. 367 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 4: Could have a better future. That was their crime. 368 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: And all nine of them have been living more or 369 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 3: less in hiding since that moment, for the crime of 370 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 3: attending a two day conference. Who's the wealthiest person in 371 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 3: the entire West Bank? Macmunabas's sons. Who's the wealthiest after them, 372 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 3: Mamunabas's nephews. This is a corrupt kleptocracy that if they 373 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 3: decide to be forwardlooking, they will be found out to 374 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 3: be the frauds that they are. 375 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 4: And if you think that the PA. 376 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 3: Which is in the West Bank is bad, now let's 377 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 3: move to Kamas, which runs Gaza. 378 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 4: You know where the very brave leaders. 379 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 3: Of Kamas hanging out are? They are they fighting in 380 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 3: Gaza as they send their people over the wall to 381 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 3: fight Israelis, knowing that Israel is going to have an 382 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 3: enormous battle to take out the terrorists and gods, that 383 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 3: they must be sitting there at the front lines right 384 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 3: obviously not, they're sitting in the four seasons in Dohak Cutter. 385 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 3: They're sitting there driving their Lamborghinis, eating their caviar, doing 386 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 3: their fake Allahu akbar. And I say faith because anybody 387 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 3: who believes in religion doesn't believe in decapitating babies. I've 388 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 3: gotten a chance to meet spectacular Muslims through the Abraham Accords. 389 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 3: None of those people believe that what happened is Islam. 390 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 3: None of them do. 391 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 2: So you had mentioned obviously Hamas, Bing and Doha. 392 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: Right now, How concerned are you, obviously you know we 393 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: know Iran's involvement. How concerned are you that this turns 394 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: into a broader regional war? 395 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 4: Terrified? 396 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 3: I am not a little bit concerned. I'm terrified. What 397 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 3: President Biden done is he's enriched Iran. Iran sees weakness, 398 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 3: he sees weakness from the United States of America, and 399 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 3: he sees weakness from Israel. And therefore the only thing 400 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 3: that can defeat that weakness's strength. And i will tell 401 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 3: you what I've done this. I've done it every day 402 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 3: for the last three years. I've gotten up and I've 403 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 3: prayed that President Biden will be the greatest president of 404 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 3: my lifetime. Not because I voted for him, not because 405 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: I want to vote for him, but because when America's strong, 406 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 3: people live and prosper. And when America is weak, you 407 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 3: can see what happens when America's weak. And so therefore, 408 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 3: the strength of the response of the United States of 409 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 3: America and the strength of the response of the State 410 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: of Israel will determine whether this becomes a broad regional 411 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 3: war or not. If Israel crushes their enemy, there will 412 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: not be a regional war. If Israel is not successful, 413 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 3: people will smell weakness, and it has me very concerned. 414 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: I am optimistic Israel. 415 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 4: Will do what it must. 416 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick commercial break more with 417 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: Rabbi Aria Lightstone. Rabbi, this administration is refusing to name 418 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: Iran directly installed, sort of trying to downplay their audience involvement, 419 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: even though that we know Hamas exists because of Iran 420 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: with the hostages. You know, take us through some of 421 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: the complexities of that. One thing I find very admirable 422 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: is reading about how Israel traded oneenty twenty seven Palestinians 423 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, so it could bring one Israeli a 424 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: soldier home, which I think just really paints the perspective 425 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: of how much Israel values its own citizens. 426 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 4: There's no data about that. 427 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 3: Every single life is precious, and that is the etho 428 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 3: of the Israelis, and it's exactly the opposite of Kamas. 429 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 3: The leaders of Kamas, as we mentioned, are sitting in 430 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 3: the cutter. If you look at the list, and it 431 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 3: will pain you, because it pains me. Look at the 432 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 3: list of the Israeli military IDF, members of the IDF 433 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 3: who've been killed in action. 434 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 4: Look at their ranks. In Israel, the. 435 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 3: Rallying cry is Acharai after me, and the highest ranking 436 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 3: officer goes through the door first. The highest ranking officer 437 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 3: takes the greatest amount of risk. Now, strategic, that's probably 438 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 3: a pretty dumb idea, because you want to save your 439 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 3: highest ranking officers for strategy and whatever else it would be, 440 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 3: but for morale. There is not a parent here who 441 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 3: has sent their kids to the front who does not 442 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 3: know that their commander will take the highest risk, and 443 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 3: there's a disproportionate amount of high ranking commanders who have 444 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: been killed because of that, because they value each and 445 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 3: every life. 446 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 4: And that's the challenge. With the hostages. 447 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: There will be door to door fighting, there will be 448 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 3: street to street fighting to try to rescue the hostages. 449 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 3: But let's say in a very very clear fashion, the 450 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 3: terrorists who are willing to stab people in their beds 451 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 3: and to do what they did to babies, and to 452 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: do what they've done to the women, let's be very 453 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 3: clear about how we think that they may be treating 454 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: these hostages. It is incumbent upon any country that's ever 455 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: given Gaza any money and has given Commas any quarter 456 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: anywhere to bring those hostages home now week, not in 457 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 3: two days, but now. And if that message is not 458 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 3: delivered by our government, our government has failed our American citizens. 459 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: What's your message to Jews, not only in Israel, but 460 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: just around the world right now? 461 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 3: The message is very clear. If you are not strong, 462 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 3: and if you are not proud, then you aren't doing 463 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 3: your job. We need to be united. Jews around the 464 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 3: world need to be united. And this is not a 465 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 3: Jewish fight. 466 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 4: This is a fight for people who care about civilization. 467 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 3: When look at what's happening at the college campuses. I 468 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 3: just saw in University of Wisconsin, they're champing, praising the massacre. 469 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 4: They're not using. 470 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 3: Subtle words, they're actually cheering on we hope that the 471 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 3: massacre will continue. 472 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 4: Those exact words. 473 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 3: The Jews on the University of Wisconsin campus could be 474 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 3: intimidated today. 475 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 4: They will not be intimidated if. 476 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 3: The rest of the students of the University of Wisconsin 477 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 3: walk out there with them and say, we do not 478 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: stand for this garbage. We are not represented by this, 479 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 3: and we're gonna stand with you. This is not a 480 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 3: Jewish problem. This is a problem with civilization. The people 481 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 3: are chanting and holding up that swastika New York City 482 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 3: and in Sydney saying gas the Jews. What do you 483 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: think the Germans felt like when they watched the Nazis 484 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 3: walk by. It's the Nazis, It's not me, it's Germany. 485 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 3: Every single human being in Germany was culpable for what happened. 486 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 3: If you weren't fighting against it, you were supporting it. 487 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 3: If you see these people in America or in Australia 488 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 3: and you are not fighting against it. You're too tired, 489 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 3: you've got another class to do, you've got to go 490 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 3: to the gym, You're gonna go get something at Chick 491 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 3: fil A or something like that. Then you are tacitly 492 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 3: supporting this. This is a fight for civilization. And I 493 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 3: know that Americans are so awesome that they will stand 494 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 3: with the Jewish people. And as a rabbi, have to 495 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 3: tell you the Bible that Terrah tells us that I 496 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 3: will bless those who bless you. 497 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 4: The people who stand with the people of Israel, the 498 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 4: people who stand with the Jews will be blessed. And 499 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 4: people who believe in the Bible need to know that verse. 500 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 3: And I'm counting on them to stand up with their 501 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 3: Jewish rather than who might be down trodden, who might 502 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 3: feel weak. Do not feel weak, Do not feel downtrodden. 503 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: I think that's a good message, sir. Our hearts are 504 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: with you, our prayers are with you. Just really unspeakable evil. 505 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: It's just it's, you know, it's hard to even comprehend. 506 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: I think just because it's hard to understand evil, because 507 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. 508 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 4: Can I share an optimistic please, yeah, please do. 509 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 3: And I'm sorry. I have a very good friend who 510 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 3: lives here in Israel. His family moved from America. I 511 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: know fifteen years ago, twenty years ago. The person who's 512 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 3: my contemporary, his father passed away his past year at 513 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 3: the age of one hundred and one. 514 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 4: Nice long life. He was a partisan. 515 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 3: He was a Jew from Slovakia who fought against the 516 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 3: Nazis in the forest, and he managed to succeed. He's 517 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 3: got one picture that he was able to say from 518 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 3: the war of him killing a Nazi and riding on 519 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 3: that Nazis horse. He was the exception to the rule 520 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 3: throughout the time of the hollow costs of Jews who 521 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 3: are able to defend themselves and fight back. His grandson, 522 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: his grandson in law, his granddaughter are all armed to 523 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 3: the teeth in elite units on the border now, and 524 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 3: gods are ready to protect civilians. Because that is the 525 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 3: Jews of twenty twenty three. This is not Nazi Germany 526 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 3: nineteen forty three. The Jews are strong, the Jews are proud. 527 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 3: The United States of America is not being ambivalent about this. 528 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 3: The United States knows what the right thing to do. 529 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 3: And when the US knows what the right thing to do. 530 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 3: The rest of the world will follow and men. I 531 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 3: hope that Biden gets this right because if he does not, 532 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 3: the Jews will figure it out. Israel will figure it out, but. 533 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 4: It's going to be hard. 534 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: I agree, sir.
