most countries their laws are based off of uh things that are against the Torah America's lost this legal system is against the torahamina democracies against the Torah you know Jews are not Democratic we don't believe in democracy the Democratic mindset you know that everybody has an opinion and we vote for it that's not a Jewish concept right so there's a thought authoritarian meaning that there is one king and everybody else follows in fact it wasn't even supposed to be a physical King when schwel when swell came and the people were asking schweld for a king schwel rebuked him said why do you want a king Hashem has been your king Hashem why do you want to go oh you want to be like the goheim you want to have a physical King you know and he insulted them he uh and Hashem tell them nah just let them have their physical King uh but the point is is that technically it was supposed to be just us and Hashem but since we made the mistake of asking for somebody uh that's what Torah is uh is is based off of we don't believe in democracy we don't believe in a voting system there's nothing like that we also don't believe in letting terrorists sit in jail either if somebody's a terrorist the uh Taurus says death penalty there's no uh there's no like uh send them to jail and send their parents money because uh they killed a bunch of Jews like they do in Israel so that's also a uh a law of the land that's the opposite and generally and it's Israel today is run by secular Jews uh and some Arabs that are the opposite of Torah many of them hate the Torah many of them are anti-toa and for example this past weekend this Eurovision that was a uh uh celebrated in uh in Israel you know was a uh one of the biggest mistakes in the country's history and for sure the biggest mistake in Bibi netanyahu's life because this is something that he most likely will never be able to do about for because he simply made it his business to tell 30 000 people to violate Shabbat so now thirty thousand people violated Shabbat and it all goes to his account too meaning even if he does chuva for himself starting now he starts keeping chuva now how is he going to make up for 30 000 people unless he becomes a key roof speaker of some kind I don't know he starts giving lectures into different but thicknesses for free and he tells people I made a mistake I had Eurovision oh wow or maybe if he does that he can fix it otherwise he can fix it why you have 30 000 people desecrating hashem's name in public in public due to his so so-and-called okay uh so it's a very very uh stupid decision and most likely I would say I would be surprised if he finishes the year I would personally be surprised if he finishes the year uh not just not just uh in government I literally mean physically uh I mean obviously much more merciful than I can be but uh it seems like uh his political career is in the garbage because after he did this he made this decision the religious party canceled their talks with him and right now he cannot uh even though he won the election he cannot get a government together so if he doesn't come up with a uh with a plan within I believe the next few weeks uh then they'll they'll have to either have a new election or they'll have to just simply pick somebody else amen [Music]
