as a Jew from Egyptian descent. My
father was literally from Egypt, his his
father from Egypt, and I'm not even sure
how many generations it goes back. I
have a bit of a of a of a different
perspective on on Jews, living in in the
Middle East, Jews living of course as
guests in Arab countries, Muslim
countries. My father, Moshe Benzara, he
literally had to have a fake name,
William. and other names when they when
they went out of their neighborhood
because if they would have been known to
be Jews and out of their neighborhood,
they were in danger. In fact, I'll get
to the main point. My my my grandfather,
they lynched my grandfather and they
tried to murder him. Why? Because he was
a Jew. They they they lied about him
saying he was a spy for Israel, which
was not true. And they tried to murder
him. and a righteous, good Egyptian
Muslim policeman knew that my
grandfather was a good man and saved his
life.
This is an ironic story, but it teaches
you that there are good and bad
everywhere. So, a group of evil
radicalized and I'm not even sure if in
those days it's called radicaliz just
being good good Muslims. You know,
anytime you get angry, you let it out on
the Jew. That's your neighbor. Because
Jews went through a lot of hardship and
a lot of heartache in these Arab
countries. And they want to make it like
we were at the Waldo Historia today.
There was no Waldolf Historia ever for
the Jews anywhere, not even in Israel,
because they're they're killing they're
killing us have a chance terrorism. You
know, they use cars, they use buses,
they use everything they can to to let
out their unfortunate what they want to
do to us. But anyway, back to the
Egyptian story. So my grandfather was
lynched and stabbed and he was they were
going to kill him and a
Egyptian Muslim police officer saved his
life. Saved his life. And they and and
after he was actually saved, they had to
they couldn't take him to the hospital
because had they have taken him to the
hospital, then they would have heard
that he was a spy and they would have
murdered him in the hospital. Literally
like the Godfather movie with the first
one where they where they were going to
kill Don Corleone. Anybody who knows
that they had to take him to a special
hospital with special some kind of
protection and he survived. Thanks the
heck out he survived. And I love to tell
this story to the Arab taxi drivers that
I share a taxi with when I go from place
to place because I want to I want people
to understand and I I'm a friendly
talkative person so I like to talk and I
and I think it's an important point that
it's not the the the Muslim per se or
the Jew that you want to blame
everything on. Good people do good
things. Bad people do bad things. But
when you get enough bad people to to to
spread lies and create a whole world of
energy, this negative energy, that's
Islam, which is not the nation of peace
or the religion of peace, but the
relation of one more peace. And they
spread lies and they create a unfair
advantage. All the money from Qatar and
other places, it's creating an unfair
advantage for their lives. And that's
already not just just a few bad people.
There's a system to their madness. And
they understand that the more they lie
and the more they repeat their lie, the
more people will buy into their lie. And
that's their goal to get an entire world
or as many people as they can on their
side in their lies. So that's not just a
a bad guy. That's an evil institution.
That's Islam is for the most part
controlled by these people that spread
the lies. Because when most people you
meet on the on the streets on ground
level believe all of these lies. So what
did you accomplish? You accomplished
perverting truth, spreading lies to
advance your cause, which is you have a
right to the whole world. And the Jews
have a right to nothing. And and again
with what happened this past week in
Australia on the Bundy beach. It's
insane what happened
is that
two evil men that were convinced and
here's the tragedy and here's the
sickness and here's what's makes it more
insane than than than a lie is they
believed that they were doing the will
of God. They they got prepared. They
probably prayed and in the name of
Allah, they said, "We're gonna go and
try to make this world a better place."
And what did they have in their head?
How were they going to make the world a
better place? These two servants of God,
Allah, by the way, online people are
confused. You know, as as an Egyptian
Jew, I write Allah and people say, "How
could you say that?" I'm like, "It just
means God." Like, what what's the
problem? They we we all believe in the
same God, which is true. So
they they they're they're strapped up,
hyped up, and in the name of God,
they're going to massacre, murder God's
children, and they think that they're
going to be rewarded with 72 virgins for
this. They think that they're going
God's going to give them a big kiss and
a hug and say, "Thank you for murdering
my Jewish children." That's what they
think. And that's what makes this sick.
Evil people, crazy people do evil, crazy
things.
[clears throat] Do Jews in this crazy
day and age are not the only ones that
are being massacred. A crazy person
walks into a church and starts shooting
at people. That's a crazy person. So
this is the an unbelievable story. My
grandfather almost murdered and at the
same time this Egyptian Muslim saves his
life. Now let's look at what just
happened. Now, two people, as I started
saying, were convinced that it was the
will of God that they be successful. And
I bet you they prayed to God for success
in their mission. And I bet you they
believed that they were making Hashem so
happy. They were they were going to be,
you know, princes in in in heaven if
they died doing this. They of course get
their reversions. And I'm telling you,
that's you got to imagine what was in
their heads at the time. And they went
and murdered children, families,
mothers. They did absolute evil. You
can't get more evil than that. And and
the worst part about it is they believe
they were doing it for God and they did
it in God's name. That's the That's the
tragic sickness about
one person. One person. The police were
scared. The police were hiding under the
table. Police with guns were not even
using them. give them to some Israeli
soldier that might have been there and
let him use him at least to save some
lives. An Arab unarmed, an Arab Muslim
angel unarmed risked his life did the
craziest thing. We must all be honest. I
don't know who if we would have had the
strength to do that to save our own
brothers and sisters, but he did knowing
there was Jews. He he risked his life
and got the gun and he did something
amazing. Amazing. and reminds me of my
story with my grandfather. There was a
good good man that Hashem sent that did
the will of God to save as many lives as
could be saved and that was a Arab
Muslim. And there were evil Arab Muslims
brainwashed
sick and sickness to kill God's children
in his name. And we have to look at two
sides of that story and understand God
does crazy things and we live in a crazy
world. But that man was a light in a
darkness. This is Kaneka. It's a time of
the idea of lighting up darkness. And
that man was ach of the creator, a
messenger of God to show us that there
are many ways to light up God's world.
If more Muslim Arabs that are more
moderate and believe that and don't
believe in the lies will strengthen
their resolve and understand that it's
not enough to just to just in my mind or
in my heart to say I don't like what the
the radical Islam is doing. There's got
to be more done because in the end of
the day, this world will unite in peace
with peaceful good people and inactivity
is not going to get us anywhere. The
evilness is always strong and they
always take the greater risks and
they're they're making more noise. And
as one great uh one lady amazing lady
from Lebanon, I believe the silent
majority means nothing if they stay
silent. But the majority that's silent
when they speak up and they gather their
strength in numbers. And when all people
out there that are on the side of good
and truth unite because that's what good
and true good people do is they come
together regardless of race, religion,
you know, it's just that's the way it
has to be. And unfortunately and if it's
your if it's your neighbors, if it's
your country that's evil, it's tough.
But we have to do that tough work
because if we don't then we will be
doing a disservice first of all to
ourselves and to everyone else around.
And so this is this is unbelievable
spark of light in a dark world in a dark
time during the holiday of lighting a
light in the dark world which light
conquers darkness. And that one act of
that one man is going to have an amazing
effect. So many positive messages are
flying around. so much positivity, so
much goodness and that conquers darkness
and that conquers evil may be merit and
the imam that spoke also pro you know
completely pro you unity and peace and
at all costs and he's even being
criticized by by Arabs because and
Muslims because of what he said they
said that's not Islam you don't speak
for Islam but you know what people have
to take such risks the Jews the Jews are
standing here right now we can hide we
can run away and hide like in the time
of poor We could run away and hide like
they had the chance to do in Purum. And
also in Kaneka, we could give in and we
could run and we could hide. But Jews
have something inside. They won't let
them. We have a soul. We understand that
we're gods and God is ours and and he'll
never abandon us. We go through tough
times, but that's what life is about.
Our life is certainly about. And we will
never give up on Hashem and Hashem will
never give up on us. And so we
ultimately don't have a choice to give
up. Even the most aranged secular Jews
when they're faced with this push, they
push back. And that Jewish unfortunate
reporter that was being executed, in the
end of the day, he says in front of the
camera, in the end of the day, I'm going
to die as a Jew. He had every excuse he
could have denounced anything he wanted,
but he understood in the end of the day,
they're smarter than me. They're going
to kill me because I'm a Jew. I should
understand that I'm a Jew and I should
die as a Jew. Jews can't run high. If
they do, they will only feel feel
terrible inside. So we are there. We're
we're not candle. We're literally a
candle in the darkness and you can't
hide. There's an unbelievable story of a
of a of a mother. They have in Australia
mish exactly where this happened. They
were at the part at the party as well.
They left their Kaneka candle out from
last Kaneka I believe or maybe even the
last two years from October 7th. This
lady, his family left their Kaneka
Manora outside in their front yard for
two years.
And after what happened, the kids came
home together, everybody. And the kids
were crying, "Mommy, mommy, please, you
have to put the the manora away. Take it
away. Take it away. We're afraid.
They're going to come and kill us." And
the mother was against it. And I I
believe the husband, they were for the
sake of of truth and we're Jews and
we're never going to hide. They said,
"I'm not doing it. I wouldn't do it. But
for my children, as a mother, I'm going
to do it." And they put the they put the
the the manure away. And uh so one of
the neighbors children, the young girl
sees that the manure is gone and she
started crying. And the mother came and
said, "My daughter saw you put the
monora away." And she started crying and
she said, "No, no, the evil can't win."
Very powerful. And the mother's crying
through this whole video. You'll see it
online. And they put the monora back.
And that's the point. We are Hashem's
manora. And we have to shine and we have
to stand firm and strong. and we can't
run it on. But the truth is, why did God
put us out here in gull surrounded by so
many enemies that want to use hate as an
excuse?
Because it's a test for us and it's a
test for them. It's a double-edged
sword. Yes, God is testing us, but yes,
God is testing his world. And when they
do the right thing and we do the right
thing, we have salvation. We have
Messiah. We have light. And we we see a
new dawn, a new dawn of the Messianic
era. That's what's coming. If we
understand the goal and we understand
where we are and we can kind of connect
the dots and understand what we have to
do and where we have to go, it's we're
not going to do it alone. It's people
like that imam and that Ahmed that that
risked his life. Unbelievable. Got shot
four times in his arm. And it's that
that police officer that saved my
grandfather's life. And it's all the
goodness and good people that comes
together as one. And that and that's
stronger. The goodness and the light.
And Hashem is the true people in this
world. God's people for all religions
that believe in God. It's there's only
one God. This has got to become stronger
and we got to put an end to all this
baseless hate and and the murder that
comes with it and massacres. And even
more than that, it's beyond just the
Jews and the is and the Muslims. We're
still selling children for for for for
kicks. We're still selling human beings
because we need more. We have to have
more. The world is
we [clears throat] I don't know how we
have the courage to continue, but we
have to continue because if we quit,
then then they they won't quit. So, we
can't quit. It's a sad world. It's a sad
time. Yet, we're pushed and forced to to
to participate in the holiday of Khan.
And it's it's it's a contradiction. And
that's what life is. Life is a
contradiction. Being a Jew is a
contradiction. We're we're where God's
people, but we're the most hated and the
most suffered the most over history.
But, but I don't know. It's beyond
beyond we at this point. And I'm I'm I'm
I'm short for answers. All I can say is
that the gift of life and the God that
we have is something we have to hold on
to. Even though it's crushing and even
though it doesn't make sense and even
though everything that we see and
everything we go through hurts so much,
we just have to hold on with faith and
understand that there's more goodness
than evil. And if we strengthen and
unite, we win. I think that's what God
wants to see right now.
