You're in the middle 39 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: of a war, but like, how are you feeling? 40 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone asks me that. Honestly, I'm I'm good. You know, 41 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 4: I'm in good spirits. We've experienced a lot of things, 42 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 4: but overall, I'm feeling very well. I think that different 43 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 4: people take the war differently, but I'm good. I'm good. 44 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: I'm gonna just jump right into it because I know 45 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: that you're probably tired. I know that anything could happen, 46 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: you know, and you're on coal. How long have you 47 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 3: been in the IDF? 48 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 4: So I enlisted in two thousand and nine and my 49 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 4: active duty was for three years. But in the is 50 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: Ready Army, if you're a combat soldier or another you know, 51 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 4: some other specific responsibilities, you continue to do reserve duty 52 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 4: every year. So since twenty twelve and I was discharged, 53 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: I've been doing reserve duty for about a month every 54 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 4: single year. So you know, it breaks out from two 55 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: thousand and nine twenty twelve, active duty in twenty twelve 56 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 4: until today, and until I'll be forty fifty or even 57 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 4: sixty years years old. 58 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: Wow, And where are you from? Where did you grow up? 59 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 4: I grew up in Canada, moved to Israel when I 60 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 4: was eighteen, and now I live in New York. 61 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: All right, And where were you on October seventh, twenty 62 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: twenty three. 63 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 4: I was on the Upper East Side, went back from 64 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 4: a Shabbat dinner, ready to go to bed, and then, 65 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 4: just like all of you, woke up to the or 66 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 4: went tried to go to bed to the nightmare that 67 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 4: we were going through. And you know, I didn't know 68 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 4: it was going to be a war right away, but 69 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: within a few hours I had looked for a ticket 70 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 4: back home because I knew it was much bigger than 71 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 4: an attack. And I was on the first flight back 72 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 4: to Israel after the news came out. 73 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 2: Wait, you were in New York City? Yeah? Wow, okay? 74 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: And you were you called to go back or you 75 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 3: just took it upon yourself? You knew that, that's crazy. 76 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I knew we were going to be called. I mean, 77 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 4: I I tried to sleep the night I woke up. 78 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 4: Both my brothers were already on base. I already I 79 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 4: had already bought a ticket. But you know, I'm part 80 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: of Reserve Duty Unit five five to one. That's it's 81 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 4: very elite. It's one of the top combat units in 82 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 4: reserve duty. And if you know, other units are getting called, 83 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: and we're for sure going to be called, and you know, 84 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 4: within a couple hours, I was right. We all got 85 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: the call to come up. 86 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 3: And your reserve, your team, you guys were one of 87 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: the first to actually go in to Gaza. 88 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 2: What did you see? What was that like? 89 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: And just sort of walk me through everything that's happened, 90 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 3: that you've witnessed, that you've seen, and how you got 91 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: to where we got to. 92 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 2: Forty something days later today, yeah. 93 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 4: So when I arrived, we trained for three weeks. We 94 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 4: didn't go in right away. You know, we meet up 95 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 4: once a year, so we know each other. I know 96 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 4: exactly what happens about everything on the prison to my 97 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: left and to my right. But we were a little rusty. 98 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 4: So I feel like I did a PhD on Hamas studies. 99 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 4: We learned everything about them. And then three weeks later, 100 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,119 Speaker 4: our officers told us, you know, put your phones away, 101 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: say goodbye to your loved ones. We didn't tell anyone 102 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 4: where we were going, but we know exactly where we 103 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 4: were going. And then, you know, two weeks in Gaza. 104 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 4: I can I can talk all about it? Maybe? Uh? 105 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: I mean, how do you get into Gaza? How did 106 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 3: you guys get in there? Do you fly in? Do 107 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 3: you is it tanks? Is it military vehicles? How do 108 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 3: you get in there? What do you see? What have 109 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: you been witnessing? And just the whole experience so far. 110 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, So we took a bus down south and then 111 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 4: took another bus to the area's crossing, which is the 112 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 4: crossing into Gaza. We walked through because we all know that, 113 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 4: you know, if you drive through, you're basically a moving target. Unfortunately, 114 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 4: there was a unit that was hit that was driving, 115 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 4: you know, into Gaza. And I don't think there's a 116 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 4: typical day in Gaza. Every day is something different. I 117 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 4: can tell you from the moment that we came in, 118 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 4: not a day later, two days later. From the moment 119 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 4: we came in, we were under threats. Threats such as 120 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 4: drones that look for you and drop down grenades, which 121 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 4: happened to our unit on the fourth day, and ten 122 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: people got injured. Every single day they told us, you 123 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 4: have a group of four terrists coming to your house 124 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 4: to kill you. In two hours, there will be a 125 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 4: terrorist who's gonna explode himself. 126 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: You know. 127 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: It's a lot of guarding, a lot of patrolling, a 128 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: lot of looking for the terrorists. It's not like the movies. 129 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 4: You don't see the terrorists in front of you and 130 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 4: you shoot them. These comes terrorists, These these cowards, they're 131 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 4: hiding under tunnels and they come up. For not even 132 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 4: a minute, they come up, they know where you are, 133 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 4: they shoot the RPG, they shoot their rocket and they 134 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 4: go back down. So it's a lot of finding these tunnels, 135 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 4: the opening of these tunnels, neutralizing them, looking for additional threats. 136 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 4: There is fire by either the tanks or US or 137 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 4: snipers or the air or every thirty seconds. It's non stop. 138 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 4: You kind of become numb to it. But I do 139 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 4: also want to mention that there's a quiet side of war. 140 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 4: Besides the fire, is the shots going off. You you 141 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 4: look a lot, you search a lot, and there's there's 142 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 4: some downtimes. So there is time when we're kind of 143 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 4: you know, trying to make up for sleep or you know, 144 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: making coffee or even journaling or playing cards, like it's 145 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 4: a bit of everything that's interesting. 146 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 3: You said, it's it's a quiet time because it's not 147 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 3: something that I think that you know, is salacious or exciting. 148 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 2: And of course that I'm sure you guys are exhausted. 149 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: The tunnels. Have you been into the tunnels? 150 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 3: The tunnels have been you know over here in the 151 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: United States, you know, discussed in the news. 152 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: You know so much. 153 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: Have you actually been in the tunnels during this time 154 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: or are the times while you were serving? 155 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 4: So let me say something straight. Ninety percent of ideas 156 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 4: soldiers don't go into tunnels. Going into a tunnel is 157 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 4: a death wish for two reasons. Number one, it's their game. 158 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 4: They know the tunnels. You don't know. You know, we 159 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 4: know right now what gas look like from the satellite shots. 160 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 4: You know where we're going, what we're doing. If you 161 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 4: go into the tunnel, it's game over. On top of that, 162 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 4: many of the tunnels have minds around, have explosives around them, 163 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 4: so they know when you're coming to the tunnel. When 164 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: we find a tunnel and we try to take care 165 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 4: of it, we try to you know, get rid of it. 166 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 4: They know we're there. But if they see you, and 167 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 4: they do have cameras walking around the tunnel, volver remotely 168 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: detonate those explosives and you're gone. So our orders are, 169 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 4: when we see a tunnel, we don't go inside. We 170 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: take care of it with other units such as engineering units, 171 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 4: and once that can can destroy the tunnels. 172 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: The social media aspect of this war is unlike anything 173 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: ever before. In my opinion, this war started and was 174 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 3: presented on social media on the seventh from the images 175 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: that we saw from hamas the destruction, the you know, unthinkable, 176 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 3: unimaginable things. How much social media are you, guys seeing 177 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 3: and how aware are you are? Definitely because you know 178 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 3: you're presenting yourself in such a strong way, but how 179 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 3: much of social media are you guys seeing on a 180 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: day to day basis. 181 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 4: So in Israel, we use we use Telegram, and on 182 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 4: Telegram we see the raw videos. We see the videos 183 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 4: that Hamas releases, We see the videos that we release, 184 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 4: and it's it's uncut footage. It's footage that isn't allowed 185 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 4: to be posted on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. And 186 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 4: at the beginning you want to see it, even though 187 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 4: it's videos of the Terrace Para shooting to the Nova 188 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 4: festival and murdering all the Israelis. You look at it, 189 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 4: but it gets to a certain point where you just 190 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 4: don't want to see anymore. It's just it's so heartbreaking 191 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 4: you stop looking at it. You know, we scroll on Instagram, 192 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: we scroll on TikTok. We're aware, but you know, then 193 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 4: you're in Gaza for two weeks and you miss out 194 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 4: on what's been going on in social media, and a 195 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 4: lot of the times you don't want to look at it. 196 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of people doing good for Israel, 197 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 4: people like you are providing motivation and energy to people 198 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 4: around the world, and you have the other side, which 199 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 4: are promoting the most insane lies that the news that 200 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 4: you're like, you don't understand how millions of people are 201 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 4: believing is junk. So you just you know, we us 202 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 4: so just have enough going on our mind. It's the 203 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 4: last thing you would want to do. But like you said, 204 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 4: it's a social media war that unfortunately Israel is losing. 205 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: Are you aware? 206 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 3: I mean it's so mundane when I think about what 207 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: you're doing, but it's so offensive to the everyday person 208 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: who's not fighting. 209 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: Are you aware of this? I guess it's like a phenomenon. 210 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 3: It's a sick phenomenon of people ripping down posters around 211 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 3: the world, specifically in the United States in the Upper 212 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 3: East Side of New York where you just were of hostages. 213 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: Are you have you seen that? 214 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: Because you know, like I said, it's mundane and it's 215 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 3: fucking stupid, and personally, I think these people are mentally ill, 216 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 3: Like I think you have to be mentally ill to 217 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: do that. 218 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: But have you seen that stuff? 219 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 4: I saw those and I had chills in my body 220 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: when I saw that, because I can promise you if 221 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 4: it was the other way around and Israeli kidnapped the Palestinians, 222 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 4: if you would have ripped down a kidnapped Palestinian from 223 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 4: the Upper East Side. You know, you would be shamed, counseled, 224 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 4: whatever word you want to use on social media, you 225 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: would be done. But for some reason, and people do 226 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 4: it to these Israels cannot it's it's okay. And you 227 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 4: know Israeli's Jews are always smart, so you know, you 228 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 4: put vasilin on it to make it a bit harder 229 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 4: to rip off, and all these other things. But the 230 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 4: fact that you even have the guts to rip down 231 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 4: a poster of leave the Jewish thing, leave the Israeli thing, 232 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 4: I know in that person, what is wrong with you? 233 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 3: It's insane. It's insane. It's so insane and so surprising. 234 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you saw this in 235 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 3: the last twenty four hours on TikTok on social media. 236 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 3: In general, Osama bin Laden his letter to America has 237 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 3: been sort of reimagined, reinterpreted and looked at totally different, 238 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 3: which is another where you're like, what the fuck is going. 239 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: On in the world, Like what the fuck I mean? 240 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 3: And these are a lot of New Yorkers And because 241 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: you know, you understand New York and you said the 242 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: Upper east Side where I'm from, where I live. You know, 243 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,239 Speaker 3: like I'm seeing people walking around making videos about celebrating 244 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 3: his letter to America and his point of view, which 245 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 3: is is just a crazy thing. Again, it's mundane to 246 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 3: the big picture, but it's concerning going forward to the 247 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 3: mentality of the world to me. 248 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's this new generation. You know, they 249 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 4: did a lot of studies on them. The support for 250 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 4: Israel and for the Jewish state is down. I read 251 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 4: a little bit about the Osam bin Laden thing. It's like, 252 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 4: are you saying that Ossam bin Laden was right and 253 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 4: everything that he stood for? Like, there's so much more 254 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 4: that it's it's hard to believe. It's really hard to believe. 255 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 4: And sometimes I don't believe what I'm reading. 256 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 3: Were you did you have any friends family that were kidnapped, 257 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 3: that were hurt or worse on October seventh. 258 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: I'm sure there's people that are serving that had that. 259 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, Israel is a very small community. It's not six 260 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 4: or five or four degrees of separation. It's one or two. 261 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 4: I can tell you that. In my unit, one of 262 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 4: my best friends here, if you remember the girl that 263 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 4: was kidnapped on the motorcycle, she was you know, pretty famous, 264 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 4: that's his cousin. We have people who didn't come to 265 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 4: reserve duty because their entire group of friends were killed 266 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 4: on October seventh. I have a friend who her boyfriend 267 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 4: and her entire you know, her entire class went to 268 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 4: that festival and they were killed. Like everyone knows people 269 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 4: here that were killed. On top of that, you know, 270 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 4: after the festival, after October seventh, you know, we went 271 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 4: into Gaza and my unit we had a lot of 272 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 4: hard hits there. We had a mosque that had explosives 273 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 4: detonated when our soldiers were there, killing four of them 274 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 4: and injuring six. We actually were the ones that went 275 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 4: and took them out of the mosque on stretchers in 276 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:59,359 Speaker 4: body bags. And you know, it's it's when we practiced 277 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 4: these things, you know, practice a group of a large 278 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 4: roun of people getting hurt. We act, we scream, we yell, 279 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 4: my leg, my arm, I can't breathe. But Michael, when 280 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 4: we went there, it was silent. Every single person that 281 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 4: was there was either dead or unconscious. And you see 282 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 4: limbs being blown off, you see someone with no arms, 283 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 4: and it was a very spooky feeling. It was a 284 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 4: very hard day. It was actually last week at this time, 285 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 4: right now, this is when it happened. Like I said earlier, 286 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 4: we had drones that dropped grenades on our soldiers injuring 287 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 4: ten of them, just like that. There's a video online 288 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 4: posted by some of us in my own team. We 289 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 4: had soldiers that were injured. It's part of war, and 290 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 4: it happens, and it's sad. But when it happens to 291 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 4: someone that you know, one of your brothers in the army, 292 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 4: one of your it it hits differently. 293 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 3: Man, when you're going through that, when you're seeing stuff 294 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 3: like that, are you having an outer body experience? 295 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 2: Are you, like or just so caught up. 296 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 3: In the moment, or is there any part of you 297 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 3: that goes I can't believe that this is where I am. 298 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 3: I was just in New York City and now I'm 299 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 3: in the middle of the darkest of the darkest, Like 300 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 3: I can't even imagine the contradiction of everything before you 301 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,959 Speaker 3: were doing on you know, the sixth of October, spending 302 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 3: Shabbat in New York City on the Upper East Side, 303 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 3: and then to where you are a few weeks. 304 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 4: Later, once I bought the ticket and I got on 305 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 4: the plane to Israel I made a mental switch in 306 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 4: my mind, and it's it's somewhat robotic. But when I 307 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 4: came to the base and I put on the uniform, 308 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 4: you know, I love my family. Both my brothers are 309 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 4: in the army. My mom has three boys. My parents 310 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 4: are worried sick about us. I think about them every day. 311 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 4: But when I've found a utiful or when I cross 312 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 4: into Gaza, when I go on guard duty, it's a 313 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: switch where you can't think about anything else. You can't 314 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 4: think about the family, the previous life you had. You 315 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 4: are right now. You have a mission to number one, 316 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 4: eliminate Ramas and number two save the hostages, and that's 317 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 4: all that's in your mind. Nothing else. 318 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 3: Podcast How long NOI do you think this war is 319 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 3: going to last? 320 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 2: Do you have any idea? Can you make any sort 321 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: of prediction on it? 322 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 4: I think it's complicated. Everyone always says something else, and 323 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 4: I think it's complicated for two reasons. Number One, we're 324 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 4: not fighting an army. We're fighting these heartless terrorists. We're 325 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 4: trying to take out Ramas so that Palacine people can 326 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 4: be able to have a government without the threat of 327 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 4: a tear organization. And we need to get rid of 328 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 4: every single last Tamas terrorist. That's number one, and it's 329 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 4: hard to do. Number two, it's not just Gaza. We 330 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 4: have the Northern Front, we have Grizabella in Lebanon. That's 331 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 4: a whole another ballgame, which I pray every single night, 332 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 4: every single morning, that we won't get to because it's 333 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 4: it's something else, and that'll be a much longer war. 334 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 4: If you ask me to put a date, you know, 335 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 4: I know what we're going to be in Gaza, and 336 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 4: the next you know, I might not be here on 337 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 4: Sunday or Monday or Tuesday. I assume we'll be going 338 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 4: for a couple of weeks. I think that my personal 339 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 4: guess is between two to six months. For the reserve 340 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 4: duty Reserve soldiers and the Activity soldiers, it's going to 341 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 4: be a bit longer. But if you want me to 342 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 4: give you an even better answer, we can end the 343 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 4: war tomorrow. If Hamas gives us back to the hostages, 344 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 4: dead or alive, I can promise you that most people 345 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 4: would be on board to leave Gaza and finish the war. 346 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: What do you think this whole discussion debate people are getting, 347 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 3: you know, all sorts of fucking political people, me, everybody 348 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 3: has an opinion on ceasefire. You know, listen, I'm not 349 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: a soldier, but for me, just like you just said, 350 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 3: you know, the hostages need to be returned and then 351 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 3: there could be an end of this war. What is 352 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 3: your interpretation, what are your feelings about this idea of 353 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 3: a ceasefire while two hundred and thirty plus hostages are 354 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: taken and have been gone for forty plus days now. 355 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 4: The ceasefire is bullshit. Every single time we've had a ceasefire. 356 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 4: You look at back at Protective Edge in twenty fourteen, 357 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 4: every ceasefire was broken. Okay, we didn't make it up. 358 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 4: You see shots, rockets being fired from Gaza and the 359 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 4: humanitarian break that we had a couple of weeks ago. 360 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 4: Always that used for Hamas brought in more weapons, more rockets, 361 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 4: and only minutes off stronger. They fixed up tunnels that 362 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,719 Speaker 4: were being blown up. So the ceasefire only means that 363 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 4: Hamas is getting stronger, and it doesn't mean anything else. 364 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 4: So I totally disappear with the ceasefire. We're not dealing 365 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 4: with an army. We're dealing with savages who don't play 366 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: by the rules, and they've proved it multiple times. 367 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 2: Hamas. 368 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 3: The like I was talking about, the tunnels Israel, part 369 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 3: of the fabric of Israel, whether it's in Tel Aviv, 370 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 3: whether it's in people's homes, are bomb shelters explain the 371 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 3: reality for the Palestinian people, the people of Gaza, why 372 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 3: they are not in the tunnels, why we only see 373 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 3: them outside, and the fact that there's no bomb shelters 374 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 3: in Gaza, and how there are bomb shelters in Israel 375 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: to take care of civilians. 376 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: Talk about about that. 377 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 4: It's very simple. Israel values life and Hamas values death. 378 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 4: Hamas is able to use these people as human shields. 379 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 4: When Palestinians, civilians die, it gives power to Hamas. It 380 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: shows the world how horrible Israel is and Hamas. They're 381 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: not missing any money. They have more money than me, 382 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 4: and they have more money than you, and they have 383 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 4: more money than a lot of people on this earth. 384 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 4: They can build the most beautiful and protective bomb shelters 385 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 4: in the world. But like I said, it doesn't help 386 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 4: their cause. We know that humans are being used as shields. 387 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 4: We know that Hamas forces people forces Palestine and civilians 388 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 4: they in their houses, not go to you know, they 389 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 4: stay in their houses while they know that Israel is 390 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 4: attacking dangerous areas, the fact that they don't have these 391 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 4: bomb shelters only helps them win. It tells you how 392 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 4: much Hamas cares about about its own people. 393 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: The media, social media. 394 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 3: When they talk about IDF going into mosques, IDEFS going 395 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 3: into a Shifa hospital and schools, you guys are aware 396 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: that obviously Hamas there's no military specific military areas where 397 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 3: Hamas is right there. Like, explain that because people think that, 398 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 3: you know, oh, Israel's just going into hospital and shooting. 399 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 2: Up a hospital. Israel's just blowing up a maas. 400 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 3: Explain how there is no military bases, like official military base. 401 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 4: For Hamas in Israel. You can go on Google Maps 402 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 4: and search up many military bases and those are only 403 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 4: meant for soldiers in Gaza. Like you said, Hamas operates 404 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 4: out of you know, buildings that they know that shouldn't 405 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 4: be attacked, like hospitals, like playgrounds, like schools. I can 406 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 4: tell you, Michael that last week, throughout the entire you 407 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 4: know week, we were shot at from schools, from playgrounds 408 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 4: and from hospitals. The day we left and RBG was 409 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 4: fired and a half away from me from a school 410 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 4: and they know that Israel and the IDF is a 411 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 4: moral and ethical army. And it's a question. You have 412 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 4: someone firing at you from a hospital, do you fire back? 413 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 4: You know that there's civilians in there, you know that 414 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 4: there's commases in there. But how many times do we 415 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 4: have to uncover the weapons in the AMMO and that 416 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 4: everything you're related to tear under these schools and hospitals 417 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 4: and playgrounds. How many times we have to do it? 418 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 4: And why should we you know, let them fired us 419 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 4: from these different places? And what are we supposed to do? 420 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 3: Nothing when you're being fired at from schools and from 421 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 3: playgrounds related to something that I would see in New York. 422 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 2: So you're like, you're it's out of a school. Are 423 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: there kids around or there's civilians around? When they pop 424 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 2: up and start shooting? What is around? Like? What is happening? 425 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: And is it in the daytime? Is it the nighttime? 426 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: Isn't any time? 427 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 4: Yeah? So we were in the Bethnoon area, which is 428 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 4: in the in the northern part of Gaza. The civilians 429 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 4: have left that area because you know it's being bomb 430 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 4: it's it's there's so much terror there. We see animals 431 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,719 Speaker 4: and it's really sad. You see cats, chickens, roosters, ducks, sheep. 432 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 4: It's known that Hamas really loves to attack at two 433 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 4: different times between night and day, so you know, early 434 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 4: hours of the morning and between day and night. So 435 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 4: when it's you know, around five, six, seven pm, they 436 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 4: are cowards. They get out of their hole, they shoot 437 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 4: to you and they come down. So it's very hard 438 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 4: to understand where the fire is coming from. You know, 439 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 4: it's like you are searching and you're guardian. We have 440 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 4: soldiers everywhere looking for these tariffs, but they go up, 441 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 4: shoot and they come down. We on the last day 442 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 4: that I told you when an RPG at us following 443 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 4: the RPG or regular shots from an AK forty seven. 444 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 4: But you know, we're not sticking our heads out and 445 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 4: looking for you know, where is the is the shooting 446 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 4: coming from. We're ducking, we're hiding, and we're telling the 447 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 4: tanks or the air force to look at it. But 448 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 4: it's it happens in seconds because they go back into 449 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 4: their tongue. 450 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: What else do you want to share with the world. 451 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 3: What else do you want to share with the people 452 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 3: who support Israel, who support Jewish people around the world. 453 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: What else what other message you want to get out. 454 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 4: I mean to the people who support Israel, I feel 455 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 4: like we're right now, We're stronger than ever. We are left, 456 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 4: are your left our right in our political political opinions 457 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 4: for a second, and it's amazing to see the support. 458 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 4: It needs to continue. I remember when the Ukraine War 459 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,959 Speaker 4: started for the first two weeks, Evan was going crazy 460 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 4: that athletes forgot about it. And we the Jewish people, 461 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 4: need to continue supporting each other. And I want to 462 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 4: say something to the opposite side to those who support Kamas. 463 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 4: If you're supporting Kamas, you're supporting the people, the organization 464 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 4: that have the out candy when nine to eleven happened. 465 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 4: You're supporting people terrorists who burn the US flag. You're 466 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 4: supporting people who if you are you know, homosexual, you're 467 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 4: part of the LGBTQ community, you will die before the 468 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 4: Jewish people. You know, if you are a woman with ambition, 469 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 4: no way, no way, you'll succeed in the Gaza. So 470 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 4: if you're still supporting Kamas after they've shown their true 471 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 4: face of who they are today, and something is seriously 472 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 4: wrong with you, podcast. 473 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 5: Articulate Hamas your feelings about Hamas and Palestine civilians, because 474 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 5: that's been a big discussion, and one of the things 475 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 5: that frustrates me the most is obviously civilians are different 476 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 5: from the government of any country, and civilians are different, 477 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 5: definitely different of the government of. 478 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: A terrorist ran place like Gaza. 479 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 3: You know, because this whole idea that Israel is committing 480 00:28:53,560 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 3: genocide and it goes into the ceasefire. Articulate your feelings 481 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 3: about separating Hamas and just regular folks. 482 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to tell you two stories. Number one, 483 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 4: Israel took almost a month to go into Gaza, literally 484 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 4: telling PALSINGI and civilians, Hi, you are in a danger zone. 485 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 4: There are threats around you go to these specific safe zones. 486 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 4: We're giving them leaflets, we're calling them, we're messaging them. 487 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 4: You have IDF officers. Instead of dealing our hurt with 488 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 4: our kidnap, they're calling you palsing and civilians telling them 489 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 4: to leave it. And we know this hurts us. We 490 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 4: know that Hamas knows exactly what we're saying, what we're 491 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 4: selling them to, but we still do it.
