AMUDIM: Israel 101 with Hillel Fuld

[Music] 1947 1967 1991 2000 2001 2007 2008 2010 2013 2019 2020 what are all those years have in common the answer is those were all the years that the Arabs who call themselves Palestinian were offered a state in all those cases they rejected that offer immediately why would that be well the answer is quite clear the answer is they don't want a state the answer is they like to play victim they like to talk about occupation they like to talk about apartheid but it's time someone looked at history it's time we actually looked at the facts because the world won't tell you the facts the world eats hamas's propaganda so let's talk talk about this in 1947 the United Nations announced the partition plan state for the Arabs a state for the Jews the Arabs rejected and the Jews accepted hence 1948 the establishment of the state of Israel what happened there why did the Arabs reject yet another offer the answer is read their Charter it's really not a mystery the PLO the Palestinian Authority Hamas they declare proudly what they want and here's a spoiler it's not a state so they rejected that offer and they've declared their goal ever since to destroy the state of Israel they don't want a state they want no Israel now with this war everyone's talking about Gaza so let's focus on that for a second 2005 listen carefully because this is mindboggling 2005 we all know the disengagement what you might not know is that Israel in addition to evacuating 10,000 of its citizens dug up its dead I'm going to repeat that Israel dug up its it's dead from Gaza cemeteries why because we knew that if we leave our dead bodies in the ground Hamas would do what they did now we know we were right so since 2005 there has not been one Jew not alive and not dead in Gaza there was no occupation that is one big fabrication that the world loves to eat up not one Jew in Gaza since 2005 Israel handed the Palestinians Gaza on a silver platter and said here make a state let's make peace what did the Palestinians do almost immediately in 2006 they elected Hamas a world recognized Global Terror organization the people in Gaza I'm going to repeat this because it is so important the people of Gaza elected Hamas let's talk about that for a second to be clear and this is an important disclaimer are there innocent people in Gaza of course there are innocent people in Gaza were there innocent Germans in World War II the answer is yes many of those innocent Germans were tragically killed in World War II does anybody debate the validity of World War II does anybody say since innocent Germans were killed in World War II it was not a Justified War we should not have densified Germany of course not anybody with a brain and a moral compass understands that in war people die this war is no different there are innocent people in Gaza but those people elected a terrorist organization as soon as they elected that organization Israel had to put blockades around Gaza because we weren't going to allow rockets and infiltration of terrorists into Israel and the world yelled it's an air prison we see what happened on October 7th when they made one little hole in the security fence 1,400 innocent people massacred so we gave them a state again in 2005 but again they rejected it because again they don't want to State you know it's one thing to not know the facts it's another thing not to read their Charter it's available on the internet read hamas's Charter what do they want they say they don't even want de Israelis they want dead Jews anywhere in the world and the first line the first line of defense is Israel but if anybody around the world whether it's in the United States or Europe thinks that Hamas wants to stop with Israel again you're not paying attention read their Charter find me one one Palestinian leader that has declared that they want peace with Israel that Israel has a right to exist and they denounce Terror you won't find one because it doesn't exist so let's talk about some of the arguments that you and I hear on college campuses and around the world let's start with genocide Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people really because if you look at the numbers they tell a different story the Palestinian population has grown six-fold since Israel was established 6X so is Israel is either really bad at genocide or that's yet another lie apartheid right Israel is an apartheid state do you know that there are Arabs in basically every single key role in this country Supreme Court justices in the parliament I mean they're everywhere they have not just equal rights they have more rights than they have in any Muslim country in the world that's just a fact there's no debating that so forget apartheid forget but you know what let's go back more fundamentally occupation right it's their favorite word we're occupying we you've been occupying an Arab Palestinian State really let's talk about this because you know these false narratives they're all over the place and it's your responsibility and my responsibility to know our facts now to be clear some of us make mistakes I've been guilty of sharing a post that I found out later was fake news which I took from some media channel we're all human beings we make mistakes but we need to know the facts so let's talk about this occupation thing before the occupation before the state of Israel in 1929 Arabs massacred Jews in kevron so if occupation causes Terror which is their fundamental claim against the Jews and against Israel presumably anybody with a half a brain understands that before occupation there should have been no Terror but again 1929 before the state of Israel was even established but beyond that where where did this occupation thing come from it came from yaser Arafat a a terrorist by any standard by any definition of the word who literally but but literally took the word Palestine okay this is this is crucial that meant Israel we have coins let say Palestine on them and have a mugging doet a star of David on them Palestine was Israel yaser Arafat took that word Palestine and basically hijacked it to mean something that it never meant before which is these Arabs who are from Jordan and from other places he called them Palestinians words matter guys words words matter and it's not just just semantics call them Arabs call them Palestinians call it the West Bank call it judan Saria words matter so let's be accurate okay Palestinians golden mayor was a Palestinian okay Israelis were Palestinians these people who call themselves Palestinians they're not they're Arabs who came from Jordan so words matter but let's talk about this occupation so we already established that before the occupation there was Terror okay but again we talked about Gaza there was no occupation what are they firing rockets at us for right the occupation is again a historical fabrication that Everyone likes to use and listen carefully to justify not their stance against Israel but as we see in the world today their stance against Jews and I want to clarify and emphasize this in the strongest most unequivocal terms separating Zionism from Judaism is preposterous it is ridiculous anybody who know knows anything about Judaism knows that we pray to Zion throughout our entire prayers every single day for thousands of years Jews faced Zion when we prayed so to say I'm anti-zionist but not anti-semitic is the most ridiculous sentence that millions of people utter every single day to say that the Jews do not deserve a state of their own is anti-Semitic period And I know it's not politically correct to say because there are people who are anti-zionist anti-zionism is the new face of anti-semitism it's the same age-old hatred the oldest hatred in the world the hatred of Jews with a new mask called anti- Zionism this is super duper important furthermore we need to talk about this moral equivalence that the world likes to make this big equal sign there's Hamas a terrorist organization that does what they did and I'm not going to repeat what they did because it's bad for my soul and it's bad for your soul but we know what they did There's them and then there's the IDF I want to explain to you and we've all heard this the ID f is the most moral army in the world let's actually talk about this what does the IDF do it's it's really actually unbelievable to hear we drop pamphlets okay we notify we pick up the phone we send smss to people innocent civilians in Gaza letting them know that we're about to attack now I think you and I can both understand what that does to our deterrence what that does to our element of surprise because if we let them know we let our enemies know but we risk that anyway you know why because to us human life to us being the Jewish people human life is the most important value so to compare us the IDF that values human life and that does everything to minimize civilian death to Hamas that does everything to maximize civilian death is moral bankruptcy stop making that comparison these aren't two equal sides this is good the IDF versus evil Hamas now again I want to go back to the most important point there are innocent people in Gaza there are but those people those innocent people where are they are your social media feeds full of Palestinians denouncing Hamas because what I see are thousands tens of thousands of Palestinians marching in support of Hamas what I see are Palestinians dancing in the streets at 9/11 what I see are Palestinians giving out candies on the streets every single time an innocent Jew is murdered so where are these innocent Palestinians where are they I don't know but these innocent Palestinians voted for Hamas a poll that I saw recently is that they have 80% Hamas has 80% support in Gaza 80% so it could be that there are innocent people there are innocent people but how relevant are they in fact even if they were the majority which they're clearly not if they remained silent they are irrelevant it doesn't matter how many they are if they just remain silent and the whole but they can't speak out against Hamas because Hamas will kill them they just need to fulfill orders I'll let you for a second think where you heard that last yeah it was the Nazis who said that you cannot make that claim I'm sorry I can't stand up for Morality and denounce Terror and murder because I'm scared you're scared then do what you need to do in Gaza and get rid of Hamas Hamas is a terrorist organization that rules Gaza thanks to those innocent Palestinians and let's say it as clearly as possible those people who dance in the streets who give out candies and who elected Hamas are accountable for their words and their actions and here's the irony of it all those people who say no they're just they're innocent people they can't do anything they they're not to be held accountable wait a second are the Palestinian people a people are they a nation that deserves a state because if they're a nation they should be held accountable as a nation and if they're not a nation they're just a bunch of you know punks acting up well then why do they deserve a state think of the irony think of the hypocrisy here those very same people who claim that the Palestinians deserve a state are the very same people who say nah they shouldn't be held accountable for their actions but they should and they will be and they are in this war it's horribly tragic when innocent people die but that's what happens in war did Israel want a war absolutely not the Israel Defense Forces is exactly that Defense Forces Israel has never attacked anyone we were in shul we were in synagogue on Dancing with Torah Scrolls when Hamas decided to do what they did un provoked and for no reason whatsoever other than one they want to see dead Jews now we're hearing on campuses you know the nakba right we we forcefully removed Arabs from their houses in 19 guys please 1947 the partition plan they had a state they did not want a state I'm going to keep repeating it I know I sound like a broken record but this is so fundamental anybody who says that Israel occupied an Arab Palestinian state in 1948 ask them one question just one question look them in the eye and say okay Israel occupied an Arab Palestinian State fantastic do me a favor when was that uh state established just can you give me the the date that that Arab Palestinian state was established or you know what forget the date kindly remind me what the national anthem was or who the Prime Minister was or what language they spoke or what their currency was because such a state never existed it's all a lie which begs the question how do so many people how do so many millions of people believe these lies the answer is again the oldest hatred in the world the hatred of Jews new mask in 2023 facts don't matter to them they have now found an excuse to let their anti-Semitism come to the surface and so they can believe whatever they want in Ivy leue colleges truth be told I'm extremely worried extremely worried about my brothers and sisters outside of Israel and I know that sounds funny after what we've been through but at the end of the day what we do in Israel and how we retaliate is in our hands we're not at the mercy of some government and we don't have to hope that they'll come to our rescue we see Pro Palestinian protests we see people being murdered in the streets in La we see people being stabbed we see posters being pulled off this is this is a new level we have reached a new level of anti-Semitism in fact I'll say you know and this is also a hard thing to say that on October 7th when I heard after I turned my phone on after the holiday and I heard what had happened I'm an optimistic guy I tried to find something to grasp onto something something positive and you know what I could come up with I said you know this is a tragedy of unparalleled proportions but maybe perhaps the only Silver Lining here is that the world will finally see what Israel knew for decades the world will finally unequivocally stand with Israel and here we are one month later and anti-Semitism has increased by hundreds of percentages hundreds so the world does not recognize the world does not accept and you know Holocaust deniers you know it's a sick thing but perhaps they could say hey we don't have any hard evidence Hamas live streamed the atrocities there is no denying there is no debating what Hamas did and yet despite that there are still people who side with Hamas there are still people intellectual people by the way otherwise moral people who claim that it is Justified it is resistance resistance if you're watching this is there any scenario any scenar scario in which you as a human being with a heart and a conscience and blood in your veins is there any scenario in which you would justify doing what Hamas did any scenario anything someone kicks me out of my house which is their narrative a false narrative but it's their narrative someone kicks me out of my house I'll protest I'll go to the police I'll do whatever I have to do will I do what Hamas did no you know why because I have a conscience these people do not have a conscience there's no nakba there's no occupation there's no apar hide these are all Fabrications that our enemies used to justify their hatred of Jews and so what's going to happen now based on the Intel that I have the knowledge that I have of this war we're going to continue until Hamas is completely eliminated from this world and then we're going to take security control over Gaza like we have in Judea and Samaria what the world calls the West Bank and we will facilitate hopefully and this is not information that I have this is my hopes and dreams we will facilitate the ability for them to build a new society that is not promoting and encouraging Terror and the murder of Jews but that we have a long time till we get there right now we're focusing on getting rid of Hamas and the world as a whole can either thank us for the work that we're doing for them because again if you think they're stopping with Israel you're not paying attention so the world can either stand with us support us denounce Terror or they could sit it out and sit down and let us do the work that we need to do and let them thank us later the world was silent in the past the world was silent in World War II the world was silent throughout all of the persecutions that the Jewish people experienced the Inquisition the pums the Crusades the H the list is long they were quiet then and they're being quiet again so if you're watching this and you know someone who is pro Palestinian you need to know that in today's day and age after what Hamas has done being pro Palestinian is being pro a people that elected the terrorists who did what they did and again yes there are innocent Palestinians but the Palestinian cause the narrative the agenda is in the charter and they say it loud and clear and the irony and there's so much irony in this war the irony is that we're not listening to them they're saying guys we don't want a state we want dead Jews and the world saying no no no no no they don't mean it they really want to State here's the problem fundamentally in the west we have some values some core fundamental values for example treat someone with dignity and they'll treat you with dignity back basic fundamental principle of Western Civilization what we're trying to do is we're taking those values and applying them to radical Islam but radical Islam does not share those values you could treat the Palestinians as well as you want they want dead Jews and by the way I keep saying dead Jews they're not stopping at the Jews they say it they want all infidels anyone who's not radical anyone who's not Muslim to either convert to Muslim or see their death more irony queers for Palestine lgbtq activists supporting Hamas have you lost your mind do you know what would happen if you walked into Gaza with an lgbtq flag let me tell you what would happen you'd be thrown off a roof and your dead body would be dragged with a pickup truck throughout the streets of Gaza this isn't you know me sounding sensationalist and saying you could see this footage they are proud of this they are proud of this this is their value system and when I say their I mean Hamas and Hamas supporters I'm going to keep saying it because I don't want anyone to take what I say out of context there are innocent Palestinians but those innocent Palestinians are irrelevant if they remain quiet irrelevant and so when you see on college campuses liberals for Hamas you need to understand the depth of hypocrisy here those very liberals and their values and the things they stand for are 100% fundamentally opposed to what Hamas stands for they hang and they they they murder people with liberal values and so you need to understand and be able to communicate with the people on campuses and all around America and around the world who don't stand with Israel today you need to be able to communicate to them the facts the historical facts that started before the state of Israel was even established in 1929 as I mentioned in neone you need to be able to communicate those facts clearly concisely and accurately not to say that we're ever going to win the digital War because they outnumber us obviously but truth will prevail and at the end of the day whenever that end of the day comes we know the ending and it's going to be a good one and I want to emphasize that look throughout our history look at all of the holidays we celebrate do you understand the story of PM that was a near genocide of the Jewish people and now we celebrate but at the time we couldn't even imagine celebrating the same is true for today we are in deep Agony and pain and mourning and the thought of celebrating is for into us I understand that trust me I do but we will win this we know the ending the question is and this is a tremendous you know fundamental question who will stand with us us on the way to that ending on the way to that Victory who will be our allies and who will get in our face and I just want to end with one beautiful thought that I heard from my friend R efim Goldberg from boar Ron he said something that really to me illustrates the two sides of this war perfectly in the portion the Torah portion of God says to Abraham whoever blesses you the Jewish people will be blessed and he who curses you you would have expected the Torah to say I will curse right AAL I should say but it doesn't it says a or or a or is another way to say I will curse but why does the Torah switch languages why doesn't it just say AAL why does it go to a or so Rabbi Goldberg said something that was just beautiful I don't know in whose name he said it but it was really beautiful and it resonated with me deeply and I think it really does illustrate the nature of the Jewish people a or has another word in it or light and here is how you're supposed to read that verse those who bless the Jewish people those who stand with us those who have moral Clarity those who have a moral compass they will be blessed those that get in our face those that get in our way those that pass resolutions in the UN and appoint Iran as the head of the Human Rights Council those people or they will see our light they try to bring their Darkness our light will extinguish their Darkness they will see the unity in the Jewish people they will see all the charity they will see all of the beautiful things that the Jewish people have done over the past month you try to bring your Darkness on us we'll bring our light those who bless us will be blessed those who get in our face a or will see our light [Music]
