Update from the war in Israel, Dec 14 2023

hello everyone hey hello so good to be live with you here so please because um we want more people to join so please help me so good to be live with you here so please because um we want more people to join so please so good to be live with you here so please because um we want more people to join the do you hear me now okay I think there was a problem now we fix it good to see you so much so as you can see I'm home I was uh a month in uh in Gaza and I think it's a good opportunity to share a little bit I just came back uh a few days ago and um I'm coming back to Gaza in uh on Sunday I thought it will be a great opportunity first to go live and to to share with you a little bit of what's happening in Gaza those who follow me so um I uploaded couple of videos about um things that I feel about this war um but I think it's uh it was important for me to hear your questions um so I will share with you a little bit about um what is going on in Israel um what is going on with me and there are some surprises and then um and then we will uh we'll give you an option to ask questions so first um as you remember it's all started when the war started in October 7 and I didn't know what to do um my plan was to go to the army they called me to go to the Army and then I get a permission from my uh um Captain in the army to go and to fly to the US to speak about the truth to share the truth about Israel and then to come back to the military I this is what I did it was amazing the US the traveling in the US during this war was so hard but it was amazing because I found so many friends in the US as usual but in this time of a war it was more uh it was Stronger to see how how you can find find your friends when you are in ter terrible situation of course because that I couldn't um um I got a lot of trads uh from uh from people in the on social media so I couldn't share my schedule but we made around 15 events then I came back to to Israel and I joined the army join my unit and till today I'm in in in in military as you know in Israel everyone goes to the military so um it's uh this is our duty to to to go and and to protect our families um so after a month in in in Gaza I can tell you that the the Army is the Israeli the IDF is United and strong and it's it give me so so much hope and and and it's not so easy the war the the war as as as some of you know war is something very hard it's not so easy to be in the war you see a terrible things people that get injured die dying and and and a lot of terrible things but we always remember that as the video that I just uploaded yesterday that we are fulfilling the dream of of our forefathers that could only dream that they will have their own military their own Army that will protect them you know my father uh my my grandmother and my grandfather they both came from Yemen in Yemen there was a ter terrible time over there when the the the women of the of the the the Yemen the Jewish yemans was the the Muslims over there used to rape them um same thing in Tunisia it was a little bit better but again in Tunisia as as another video that I made in Tunisia people the the Nazis came to Tunisia and some of my family um also trans they transferred them to to to Germany and and and thanks God the Nazis machine stops in tunia but it was very close same thing with uh my only I have only one grandfather that he's he came from um from Poland and he of course he survived the Holocaust so when you think about it like this so you don't you don't need to be sad you can be even proud and and and and than and have a lot of thankful uh to be thankful that that we have this this Army of course it's not easy um but this is like [Music] um this is very very very powerful to be over there I can tell you that everyone every place that I go in Gaza because I'm in a special unit so I have the opportunity to travel in a lot of places so I can tell you that the people over there are amazing the people of Israel you know the fighters they are amazing they have so many um Power and and and I think that the main message that they get from them all the time is that you know we don't need anyone from outside of Israel to tell us not to not to kill innocent people and to follow rules of you know all those things that I don't know why people coming to Israel and telling us those things all the time you know they're telling me we born and raised on these rules that we can't do it it you know even if any if someone will tell me hey go over there and kill kids and things like this I don't think that I know even one soldier that will do it because this is not who we are we survive the Holocaust we we are the people that that was even now in October 7 our women women was raped and and our enemy did for did such a terrible things to us so we will never do the same thing so this is the main message um that I get from the people I'm not proud uh about uh what people say that we are the most uh human Army I see that Simon Smith saying I'm not proud of it because I think this is how it's needed to need to be um that we know to separate in our head between evil and and good of course sometimes in the in operations there are mistakes and I can share that I was really close to a place when one IDF unit was they shot on another IDF unit so of course that if the if we have mistakes like this inside the army so of course sometimes the are mistakes outside of the army to people that innocent people I think that what the IDF do and it's very it's very important um is that he called to the to the people to go to the South before or to to another place before the IDF is coming in first is help to to to make sure that that um no innocent people that want to leave can't leave and then you get hurt and I think this is very important and second is to protect our soldiers you don't want soldiers to to start to think as I told you before do I need to shoot or not when you tell the the the people to go away from this area because the Army is over there so you know that if this PE this person didn't leave so 99% that he is a terrorist um at the beginning of the war we saw a lot of people that got a lot of threats from the Hamas not to go to the South but the more we're getting into this operation so I think they don't have enough power now the Hamas is getting uh weak weaker and weaker thanks God and and and he can't control the the people in in in Gaza anymore m mostly in the in the north but I hope that soon it will happen in the in the South too I was so glad to see so many Hamas Fighters uh surrendered and and then just telling that that stop stopping to F stop their fight and and and and um for me it's a it's a very important picture that the IDF soldiers will need to see and in the same time the Hamas and and and the people in in Gaza and by the way all in all over the the Arab world need to see that the IDF is going to win in this war um and there is no chance for the Palestinian to win in this war and I think it's a very important message that of course we at the beginning we shared so many pictures and videos about how much we got hurt from for our NE from our neighbors but now it's important to show the picture of of winning because if you want to survive in this hard neighborhood you need to know how to show that you win not only that you are suffer um this is very important all right so this is what I saw in Gaza I will give you a short update about me about my plans for of course it's all God God plans but but what I'm trying to plan for for the future and uh if you want to to to be part of it um so there are a lot of uh things that I don't know but I do know that we have a plan to fly to the US in the beginning of the new year uh around um five six of of January we're going to be uh um Nashville and California um we're going to have some concert in California for sure and Nashville maybe uh more uh time for couple of meetings that I need to do but maybe I will have a time in Nashville too for uh for concerts I got a permission from the Army again to fly for a couple of weeks um I don't know we still preparing this uh

don't have a question but I got a war box from Israel for Christmas it's a good is from the Israel love Israel thank you so much we love you too have fun with the box thank you for uh supporting Israel's business uh have you ever heard about Turkish prime minister who died of a heart attack after he shared the speech against Israel yeah it's not the Prime Minister but yeah it's um someone from the Congress yeah I saw it God have a very unique ways to show himself it's anything know about ostes still reminding in Gaza the ostes story is a terrible story think about people that just woke up in in Shabbat for a Sant of or maybe a shot of of uh Palestinian terrorists that came into their houses and just took them to to togethera it's terrible kids and and women and and elders and and and terrible and regular people you know so there are still there more than 103 and and 30 people that's still there we're doing a lot of work to try to find them and but what I think is the the more that we will put the pressure on hamast that will uh release them but there is no other news that I can share um any other news about the two kids um oh can you hear me okay about the two kids so I know I don't have any news about it do you hear me okay so it was disconnected but I back okay happy kanuka Merry Christmas much love uh for the L family for mber Australia I'm sending you my blessings again to back to you from Israel thank you so much and all the blessing back to you thank you have people started putting luck on their safe room do families have guns protect themselves so I think from the the beginning of the um we have more and more people that have weapons in Israel similar to to I think what what you can see in in the US um not exactly the same but it's became more easy to get guns in Israel if you if you have a background of military so it's very important this line because it makees sure that people that know what they are doing or have like um security background uh that the army that the the government already already checked them before um so it's a it's a good um point that you need to know but yes there are more weapons in on street and I think it's good people feel more safe when they have their weapon does IDF still need helmets and bulletproof vest um yeah I think that there are another units that need it you're more than welcome to send me uh to my emails and I will try to connect maybe to connect you to those units it still need um this is crazy I know um but this is this is I don't at the beginning I felt kind of embarrassed that we are asking for those kind of things but now I just understand that it's will keep the life of of those people of those soldiers that I see in the field so I don't care if you anyone want to support you're more than welcome to send me an email and I will connect you to those units that maybe need help um all right why media blaming Israel this is not new the Jewish people always those that media hate I don't know yeah all right so um thank you so much for these questions and all your blessings it was a pleasure to to do this live again and to to to see kind of seeing you and to stay connected
