Land of Israel Guys Podcast: Israel Reclaims Its Birthright

[music] Welcome to the Israel guys, where we believe that in a world of anti-Israel propaganda and Jew hatred, you should always be connected to the land and the people of Israel. Happy to be back with you on Thanksgiving, guys. Happy Thanksgiving from the land of Israel. Uh, happy Thanksgiving you guys, although I don't think you guys do that, right? Uh, >> every day is a day of Thanksgiving. >> Do is anybody in Israel celebrate Thanksgiving? It's one of the few holidays that really gets carried over from American-born Jews who have made aliyah. They continue keeping it in Israel. Thanksgiving about America because on the long journey of the exile and the diaspora, we've had tremendous persecution. I would say America really has been a light the best stop on the journey of various nations, various countries. I hope it remains that way. But uh I feel like a lot of American Jews have tremendous hakaratov, a recognition of goodness and gratitude for what America has been. >> Are you saying that there are Jews in Israel that are celebrating Thanksgiving? Thanking the existence of America or they're just kind of celebrating a Thanksgiving, giving thanks to God. >> They are are Who are you? >> I'm just saying I've been to Thanksgiving events. I have >> everywhere I go. There are Thanksgiving meals with the turkey and the cranberry and the celebration >> for America. Every Yeah, you're right. Every day is a Thanksgiving in Israel. It's a miracle. Every day we survive and we're grateful every day. That's what it is to be a Jew. >> My friends, my friends are grateful that they've made aliyah. They're like having a Thanksgiving dinner in honor that they made aliyah, that they live in the land. It's the same day as they would have celebrated in America. They're not thanking their existence that was in America. That's just not the way it at least the events that I've gone to. Well, then you're not around the same groups that I am. Okay. But no, no, but really to to be a Jew, the word Jew comes from Yehoud, which is which means to thank. And a fundamental tenant of principle, a foundation of what it is to be a Jew, is to live a life of gratitude, right? And so looking at America and seeing the blessing and the light America has been, one would have to be blind not to. And I think it's it's I think it's a beautiful thing. >> I think we should continue. >> I think it's a testimony. That's really the truth. I mean, especially when I go to Walmart. When I go to Walmart and I just look down the aisles and there's like thousands of different types of juice, I don't know any other country in the world that has such a thing. And how has America been blessed with so much abundance and blessing? It's because they were the best host country for the Jewish people in all of our exile. >> Yeah. You know, I'll tell you, I try to watch these guys like Tucker and Fuentes and Candace and all of them face out there and not [clears throat] be so defensive. And there's this thing, dual loyalty, dual loyalty. Tucker is saying that, you know, US born citizens shouldn't be able to serve in foreign countries. They have dual loyalty. And I'm like, you know what? There I actually do have dual loyalty. I do. I I really love America. >> To America or to Texas? >> I feel loyal to >> I feel like your loyalty might be just to Texas. >> To the nation of Texas. Um Yeah. No, I feel I feel loyalty to America even now. I really do. I I feel such gratitude to America. I do feel loyal to America. But my greatest ultimate loyalty is to the state of Israel is to that's why I moved here. That's why I came back home. It wasn't out of a rejection for America. And it wasn't out of a lack of gratitude, overwhelming gratitude, overwhelming love. And if I had two lives to give, I'd give my first for Israel, my second for America. You know, but the irony is that we're being accused of dual loyalty. Dual loyalty. Meanwhile, there's actually fundamentalist jihadists that are killing National Guard outside the White House and nobody's saying anything about their loy. They don't even have dual loyalty. They have single loyalty. True >> to the jihad and to the global Muslim caliphate and they're very vocal about that and their adversaries, but not a word is said. It's just it's a little bit of a crazy thing. >> Well, I think that that that I I actually agree with you on this deal. Uh, I'm not even Israeli citizen, but like loyalty-wise, and I think it's actually deeper than that. I think it goes back to my faith is that, and I think that's where America, and kind of back to what you were saying, is is our hospitality for the Jewish community is it really came back to faith is that America was founded on faith and that we had our Christian forefathers, these people were founded on on the Bible. And that's where all of this comes back to is that and I think this is where we're getting away from and that my loyalty to America is because of our freedom and because of our our faithbased constitution. Now if that erodess and that falls away, well I'm willing to fight for that and I'm willing to stand up for that. But if America becomes a Muslim nation, becomes a socialist whatever that doesn't have those same values, then sorry. >> Ultimately there can only be one loyalty. I remember Candace Owens when Kanye West was coming on being like I love Hitler and like he was doing all of his crazy things. She's like, "He's my friend. I'm loyal." And and Matt Walsh was talking about loyalty and friendship. I don't Jeremy's been my best friend for 25 years. Am I [clears throat] ultimately loyal to Jeremy? No. No, I'm not. Meaning that if he betrayed the values that I that I am committed to, the godly values, the Torah values, then that would be over. The only true loyalty you can really have is to God. Right. >> Right. because otherwise it just becomes an an attachment that can become like an idol in and of itself. So of course I look at America and my heart is breaking because of this wonderful legacy of biblical values and courage and character and conviction and openness and and and and light and now it's break my heart is breaking for it. But I I I really hope that they can >> redeem some of that. >> Well, before we dive in too much, >> sorry I feel like I just hijacked your show. >> It's good. you know, uh I think that's what the people enjoy actually and and you guys can let us know cuz we we've been having this uh debate the last few weeks and we were texting yesterday about how should we have a more organized format with like specific news stories to cover or is it like turn the cameras on and we just dive in and start arguing about Thanksgiving. Um and you guys can let us know. Do you like both or do you like one or the other? But uh just a couple housekeeping things. Uh didn't introduce you Nate although I think people know who you are at this point. That's right. >> Nate Waller. Uh we could call you an Israel guys contributor at this point I think. Um but I think you'll be on a lot more so that people can uh get to know you. Uh Joshua Waller not here a little bit under the weather today. Um also we put out a documentary about the Iran attack this past summer, the 12-day war uh called Operation Rising Lion, I believe. Uh the team worked really really hard on this documentary. They put in dozens of hours of production and editing. We're going to link that down below because you definitely need to take a look. This is more than just our normal videos we put out on a weekly basis. This is a pretty serious uh documentary telling the story of what happened this past summer. >> And if I could just comment on that as part of the rising lion idea to encourage people to watch it more. Is this mic working? I'm really glad you're making this documentary, the rising lion one, because if you look at the just the names of Israel's wars, they it's almost like the random word generator of the most boring names ever. Like this war of redemption that was launched October 7th that I believe will be the final defibrillator that wakes up the nation of Israel to our mission in the world and leads to the building of the temple. And we'll look at that. They called it swords of iron, you know, but this last war with Iran actually was named accurately. Am Kilvi, you know, Bil Am had this vision in the end of days that Israel would finally rise like a lion and that's what's actually happening now. And it's so cool you're making a documentary of it because it's not just a war. It's a it's a fulfillment of prophecy and the unfolding of redemption that we're seeing. And so for you to chronicle that, it's really awesome. We'll link that down below if you guys want to take a look. We would uh love that. Definitely make sure you're subscribed. We are uh almost at 400,000 subscribers and there's now a fear that we won't reach that by the end of the year. So, we need everybody to go subscribe today to the Israel Guys channel and obviously if you listen or watch anywhere else, follow there as well. So, uh we had a few stories we wanted to get into today. One, um was there was a massive attack on Jewish shepherds in Judea, like right around the corner from where you guys live. So, I want to hear your take on that. It's also something that's not reported in the media, which is always something we're very passionate about here about the Israel guys is is telling the stories that don't get told, right, or that get covered up or if they are told in the mainstream media, they're twisted or there's some, you know, that's turned into a a propaganda piece. Um, also, Israel is moving a piece of legislation through the Knesset that would actually overturn a 70-year discriminatory law that does not allow Jews to buy land in Judea and Samaria. So, we'll get into that and some more. We'll get back to the podcast in just a second. But, as we're nearing the end of the year, I want to let you guys know that we have a really [music] special opportunity.

There was a shooting attack in Washington DC last night or yesterday uh that we felt like was very important to cover. Obviously, you've all seen the headlines, seen the news. uh two National Guardsmen shot just like blocks away from the White House if I understood the story correctly um by a s uh the the suspect that's been neutralized and apprehended was from Afghanistan. I believe he's been if I read correctly cuz I didn't put all the notes in on this story. He's been in the United States since 2021 and as of this moment the two National Guard soldiers who were shot it's their conditions unknown. It seems like they they are still hanging on but critical in condition in the hospital. So, um I thought that was interesting that we were going to talk about an attack. >> By the way, just to clarify, all the reports I saw said they were dead. >> I when I looked it up right before the show, it seems like maybe they're still alive. So, but either way, >> they have a complete recovery. >> By the time you guys are watching and listening to this, you might be able to confirm the the the situation from the news cuz obviously there's a a good six, seven hour gap. I I want to take a bird's eye view and just look at that event that happened in Washington DC because there's so much time and air time that's wasted on calling out Israel as the enemy. And sometimes what the real enemy does isn't just a lie. It's the anti-truth. It's like the opposite of the truth. And what's happening is Ari mentioned, oh, the Jews have dual loyalty where there is a movement in the world that has only one loyalty, the Hamas, the Jihad. They want to create an Islamic caliphate. They want Islam to dominate the entire world. That's what they're loyal to. That's the real enemy. And Israel is on the front lines of a war against the global jihad. And just the other day, last week, there was a protest outside a synagogue in New York in in uh Manhattan, [clears throat] and they were saying, "Globalize the Antifa. Globalize the Antifa. Globalize the Antifa." Is literally calling for Islamic war against the infidel, against the non-Jews. And the very next week after that, now National Guard soldiers are being killed outside Washington DC. If you don't see the measure for measure that's happening right now that as America is sort of slowly but surely turning against Israel, then the enemy is going to come through the back door and end up right near the White House attacking its own soldiers. It's so obvious that you can't be um you have to be blind not to see it. >> Well, I think on that on that deal is for Americans, I would say most Americans don't really understand the word inifat. We we don't understand what that means. Uh and so we really need to talk listen to Israel. Israel understands what the word inifat means. >> Yeah. It's like a violent uprising. >> You've been through what they call two inifadas. Um that were bus bombings, shootings, suicide attacks. I mean thousands of Israelis have been murdered through inifadas. Like this is not just a random act of violence or a protest in the streets that's busting windows. These are literally lives lost. Like we have no context for what inif means. What does global inifat mean? What does this like? >> Tell me what does it mean? >> Israel knows what it means. We know what it means because we've paid for it in blood in the blood of our children. But then when we hear American Americans being gaslit and they're like, "No, the jihad is about the internal struggle against the evil inclination." And right, that's the jihad. Come on. Inifat is an uprising of the dignity of No, it is about murdering the infidels. That's what it is. Period. >> Well, there's there's two parts to the jihad. And it's really important that people know that it's either going to be done through bullets or it's going to be done through the ballot. >> That's the option. But the ultimate goal is that the jihad, Islamic jihad, takes over and submits everyone that's not a part of their cult. And so either you can do that like they did in Dearborn, Michigan, and what they just did in New York City where they elected now a jihadist mayor who is now appointing all of his staff, some of the most anti-Israel, anti-semitic people that exist. And so it's happening either will happen through the ballot through votes or it will happen through killing national guards. But either way, it's a direct war against freedom. And so when people are kind of distracting you saying, "Oh, there's dual loyalty over there." What they don't realize is that the anti-loyalty that is happening inside America as churches are being converted into mosques and that America is literally a sitting duck right now and they don't even know that they're being targeted. >> Yeah. Well, what I want to say too is I think it's really interesting that you have a massive movement in the the so-called conservative movement, right, to separate themselves from the Jewish people and from Israel. Uh or you could say from Judeo, you know, values, right? U you have people saying America first, dual loyalty, you know, I'm not I'm not part of Israel. I don't believe that the state of Israel is is I don't believe the Jewish people are the Jewish people anymore. You have this like people desperately trying to differentiate themselves and then what happens the same enemies of Israel go until kill two na or shoot two national guardsmen in Washington DC and what people don't realize is like the enemy is the same and the enemy doesn't really care. They don't really care whether you're sided with Israel, sided with Jewish people or or not. Like if you are not Muslim, if you don't believe in Sharia law and especially if you believe in the Bible and you believe in God, then you have this we have the same common enemy whether we like it or not, right? And so there's no like differentiation at the end of the day. They're coming, you know, that that Israel's enemies always say first the Saturday people, then the Sunday people, first Israel, then America. Um they're coming for us whether we, you know, we like >> survivors of the October 7th massacre on the Gaza envelope. Cuz keep in mind that population, that demographic, what I remember going down there and seeing big posters of Shalom, peace now, the far-left organization, they would do everything. They would go and pick up Gazins and bring them to hospitals and they were so progressive and and you know, uh, and what did they do? And what did they do? It didn't matter to them that it was the most leftist pro-Gaza, pro- Hamas progressives. They massacred them in the most brutal, horrific ways imaginable. They don't make those distinctions. You know, that's what Jews, we learn that again and again throughout Jewish history. You could be on the left and a socialist or a communist or ultraorththodox and you end up in the same gas chamber of Awitz. We we we are together in this thing. And I just hope the West doesn't learn about that too late. >> Well, I think it's important because the people that are the outside, they really don't know. It used to be, well, there's the right and then there's the left. There's Republicans and there's Democrats. There's Christians and there's non-Christians. There's secular. And now it's like it's becoming quite confusing because Israel is starting to lose the Republican party. Israel is starting to lose the what's called like the woke right and all of a sudden there's now a new alignment between the woke left and the woke right. And what connects those? What is the I mean the the only common thread that I see is that they're both anti-Israel. But when you look a little bit closer, you can see there's no righteousness there. There's a disconnect from the Bible there. There's no godliness there. And so it seems as though two camps are being formed and it's not right and left anymore. And it's not even Christian and secular anymore. It really is who is going to be loyal to God? Who is going to be loyal to righteousness? Who's going to be loyal to the Bible? And that's really the final stand. >> Yeah. I think that's that's so important for people to realize. And you know after seeing and obviously I don't think the news has come out and said well that the this attack was motivated by jihad you know or whatever but >> the reports did come out saying that what he screamed was Allah Akbar. >> I guess what I'm saying is like how much do we want to bet right [laughter] >> I saw the uh I don't know if you saw the picture the aerial picture of him the shooter being put in a stretcher to the ambulance and he's sort of a chunky dude. I think he could go on the Judeian diet possibly. No, but he had the the Muslim caliphate beard, the ISIS beard. I'm like, >> right. >> Okay. Obviously, obviously. And I'm just like immediately I was like, how is Tucker going to blame Israel for this? You know, cuz ultimately Israel's I'm not even kidding. Israel is going to be blamed for this one way or another. >> Well, I think it's something that's so new in the world because the never before has there really been a religious driven war against America. There's never been. The Nazis weren't religiously driven to war. Russia's not really as communist. It was political. There was something there. This is a new creation because it's kind of bringing us full circle now that the end of days, the final war is going to be a religious war. It's going to be good versus evil. It's going to be done in the name of God. And that's why when people are shot, it's never they never say free Palestine if they're Muslim. They will always say Allah Akbar. It's always comes from a religious root. And I think that's really interesting like I I think you were saying in Nate that um America should be watching Israel and aligning themselves with with Israel because Israel has been fighting the religious war for 70 plus years now. And like you said, this is I never thought of this has never come to America before now that it's on America's shores. America's like in process of trying to pull away from Israel when they should be coming closer because they could they have a lot to learn. Well, so everyone always has the question, how can it be that the left-wing liberals are the ones that are aligning specifically with the kamas where their values are totally opposite? But the truth is when I look at their motivations, both of them are really driven by a hate. It's not like they're really fighting for something or in love of something. It's like they hate and that hatred brings them together. But even more than that, I would say, you know, if you break it down, in the ancient Jewish tradition, there's no distinction between Republicans and Democrats. >> There really is two forces in the world. And one is Asov >> and one is Ishmael. Ishmael represents the Arab world, and Asov represents um Rome, represents Western civilization. And so right now there's an ancient midash that says that Asav, the brother of Jacob, goes to Ishmael, the son of Abraham, and they say to each other, "You know what? I'm going to kill your brother, Jacob, and you kill my brother Isaac, and together we're going to rule the world." >> And they both really like that idea, shake hands, and as they walk away, they both say in their hearts, "You know what? When he's done killing my brother and I'm done killing his brother, I'm going to kill him." And they're both saying that. and they both walk away. And that in my mind is the one of the most prophetic uh midrashim that Jewish tradition has because here we're seeing the left and the woke right in America now aligning with the Muslim world. And the Muslim world is aligning with them and both of them are thinking to themselves, "Oh, I can't wait. I'm going to get rid of them as soon as they're done with Israel. I'm going to get rid of them." And it's literally unfolding before our very eyes. >> Well, we saw this exactly played out with Hitler and with the the Grand Muy in Jerusalem. He made the Grand Muy an honorary uh Aryan race. This doesn't even make sense. The Aryan race is this European white whatever of of the the of Hitler's deal. He makes this Arab jihadist aart like an honorary position in this like he's also Seemetic. He comes from Abra like so it's not it's not that he's against you know the he's not anti-Semitic. He's anti-Jew. >> Let's flash that picture here. Could we do that? Because these pictures, >> Hitler and the Mofty. >> Yeah. Hitler and the Muy. Because I remember that hearing that in Yadvashm, you know, there's a certain sort of leftist liberal bent in uh a lot of the Jewish world today. There's no secret about that. And a lot of them really were lobbying to take that picture down and out of Yadvashm, the Holocaust Museum in Israel, because they felt like it wo a deeper narrative uh that would undermine Israeli Palestinian peace efforts. Because when people understood that the whole >> Yeah. >> framing Israeli Palestinian peace efforts is ridiculous. It's insane. This is obviously a deeply rooted I mean the there's always the people that say it's Judea and Samaria, the West Bank. That's the reason that there's conflict in the world without knowing just like the basic the the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The PLA was founded in 1964, right? >> To liberate the settlements of 67 that didn't exist yet. It's silly. Yet it goes all the way back 1300 years. I mean, even more than that, if it was about the 67 borders, why was there a war in 1967? Why did they launch war out? Obviously, it's not about the 67. >> Why are all of their logos, and we've talked about this before, exactly the shape of Israel? >> Of course, >> like all of their maps, >> all their maps, all their keychains, all the stuff that say Palestine on them exactly the shape of Israel. To me, what the lesson that needs to be learned is although last week I was told that uh this is like reported in the news over a 100 military representatives from 20 countries came to Israel to debrief with the IDF and just some of the countries there were US, the Canada, Germany, Finland, France, India, Greece, Hungary, Morocco, Romania, Japan. Even though Japan had come out, you know, condemning Israel for its war crimes, now they're coming to learn from the IDF what they did exactly because obviously they weren't coming to learn about genocide. they were coming to learn all of the techniques in order to prevent civilian casualties and they're learning it from the people that have really done it on the field. But at the same time, meaning we're losing a little bit on the right in America, we're losing a little bit on the left in America. Now, to me, the call to action right now for Israel is aside from debriefing all these countries, Israel has to become independent. We have got to stand on our own two feet. We have to become fully grown up, not getting any foreign aid, not depending on military supplies from any other country. Israel has to and quick because we don't know what's going to happen these next elections. This last election, I was like, well, thank God Donald Trump got elected as president. Next election, I don't know. Are we going to be happy if it's a Republican? We have it's a Democrat. Who knows what's going to be? And so therefore, Israel can't rely on Washington. Hopefully, we will have grown enough and evolved enough and liberated ourselves enough that we won't be so dependent. We won't celebrate one way or the other because ultimately it's up to us whether any American president or any foreign president turns out to be a blessing or a curse. I wasn't celebrating when Donald Trump was elected. I was like this could be I was bracing myself for Israel to drop the ball for Israel not to have the pro because if we have the proper posture and the proper uh ally relationship understanding our value and America's value and we look straight in the eye but if we're this codependent vassal state then it will turn out to be a curse. It's really up to us. I'll tell you how I understand that. I really see that as God's mercy to Israel. They offered us an opportunity. He said, "Unleash hell on the kamas. Go just devastate the kamas. Take over Gaza. Deport the Gazins. Gaza Elargo. America has your back. We were given the green light to do whatever we needed to do and Israel dropped the ball. But it could be that the next president of the United States will be a little bit less friendly to Israel and then Israel will become the nation that we're meant to It's always been that way. We always give away land and do nationally suicidal self-destructive things when we have an ally in the White House cuz we have a weak spot on our national consciousness where we get our our arm twisted behind our back by our friends where when it's Obama, how much land did we give away? How much? That's why I was saying it would be better for Israel if Kamala was elected because then we know that we're on our own here and we have to put our faith either in ourselves or preferably in the God creator of heaven and earth where where it belongs. But uh so I'm always worried about the allies. I I do want to I want to go into uh this story of what happened in you guys' neighborhood. Um because I think it it's tied into jihad happening in America now uh and and America should be learning from Israel. Now, we don't talk about the, you know, majority of what happens in Judea and Samaria on a daily basis when it comes to attacks on the Jewish people who are living here, the so-called settlers and settlements and the hilltop youth and the the radical settlers. I had uh somebody here yesterday who was asking me, "But yeah, aren't a lot of the hill toppers like real radical and extremist and violent and dangerous?" And I was trying to explain to them, you know, like that's actually the the fringe minority. There's, you know, a few criminals here and there, but the majority of them are are not those people. You guys, you know, you've talked about before, you know, a lot of these youth that are living out on the edge, settling the land of Israel, shephering their flocks. The majority of them are just amazing, incredible people. Um, but what's interesting is on the flip side, these guys are also being attacked on a near daily basis, if not a daily basis, >> and they don't have weapons. These kids do not have weapons and they're surrounded by these jihadist villages and they are just they're walking barefoot with their book of Psalms and their flutes. I'm telling you, I'm not just trying to paint a picture. I've seen them, you know, and they're they're really of such self-sacrifice. They don't even have smartphones, right? They don't. It's like a movement. It's the cool thing. You're like a loser if you have a smartphone. It's not cuz they can't afford it. It's because they don't want to be attached to it. They don't want to be dependent on it. They want to want to want want to wear a drool bib and just scroll like everybody in the west, often myself included. And so they have these phones where you have to text by pressing the number three four times to get to the letter D, you know, and they actually need it out there to record what's happening to reach out and they don't do it. They're they're tremendously brave. And yeah, there's some that are going overreacting on the other side because there's such a move to the left on one side that they have to overcompensate on the other side. And that's going to happen. By the way, that happens with youth all over the world in every capacity, in every way. But yet, when it happens with them, it's like, oh, look at you. You're not perfect. Well, I think what's really beautiful about them is that most 18, 19, 20 year old people, let's say in the United States, they're pretty much focused on the material world, how they can get ahead, how they can make more money, how they can be get more security. And these people, they're just fully dedicated to the land. They're fully dedicated to Israel. They've decided to not go the route of like, how do I maximize profits? They're how do I maximize my connection to this land? How do I maximize a connection to God? How do I live a little bit closer to the way that we used to live back in the days of the Bible? >> So, you guys live where King David shepherded his sheep, right? >> That's right. >> Um, and he wrote the Psalms in the caves. Like, this is exactly where you live. And yesterday, there was a group of shepherds that were attacked while shephering their sheep in the same hills where David walked his sheep on the on on the hills and wrote the the actual psalms. And dozens of Arab riders from the village of Rashida attacked these shepherds near Male Alamos, which is like just next door to you guys, right? Um and stole their sheep violently. People were were seriously injured. Dozens of riers um attacked this farm and people came to try to help them. Their vehicle windows were smashed. It just went on and on. I saw and we'll show some of the the pictures in the video. uh some of it a little bit hard to see like a full-on riot and attack these guys. Why? Because they were shephering their sheep on the hills where King David was was >> That's exactly what it is. It's not random and it's not an accident. It's a symbol that there is no greater sign, no greater expression of the Jewish return to the land than than Jews shephering sheep on the hilltops of Judea. Abraham was a shepherd. Jacob was a shepherd. Isaac most probably was a shepherd. King David was anointed king as he was shephering his sheep. Right? So, it's one thing maybe they can tolerate Jews being accountants in Tel Aviv or high-tech sector, but for us to actually return to the hills of Judea as shepherds in our land, it is just furthering their realization that we are not only have we've not only returned, but we're here to stay and we're back on the most deep spiritual, religious, biblical sense, and there's nothing that they can do about it. I think what's so frustrating about the whole scenario is that this will absolutely be reported as settler violence. Oh yeah. >> And that's what happens all the time. The settlers are being attacked. They defend themselves and then it's reported as oh the settlers are being violent again. You know, these were just people out shephering their sheep quietly, not bothering anyone out in the mountains and they were attacked by a swarm. I mean, it was a coordinated attack. Obviously, it wasn't something spontaneous. It had a whole team of rioters that came to attack these shepherds and it will be presented in the reports in the UN as settler violence. >> And by the way, what's disturbing to me on a very deep level is I know that village. I've driven through that village many times through the village. >> Is it the Arab village? >> The it's actually Bedawins. It's a Bedawin village called Rushida. You can see the the top crest of it just from my balcony. And people like what's that? And I'm like, that is 0001% of that massive village going over mountains and mountains and mountains. It's a sort of interesting village. Like there are thousands of structures. Very few of them people actually sleep in. They they build twothirds of a structure, they put their sheep in, and then they sleep on the floor outside. It's just a very very different culture. But I used to be able to drive through it because we knew that they were they're not terrorists. They're criminals. They have a lot of weapons there and they sell them to terrorists, but they're not terrorists. They're criminals. There's no real reason to be nerv. But now they're being radicalized and they're actually attacking. And I think a big part of that has to do with when they see the state of Israel going into nearby settlements and uprooting Jews from their homes, which happened not that long ago, right across from us in the Arugote Valley, right across near Mad where they destroyed. And listen, it was a complicated situation on behalf of the government, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter the optics of going in and forcefully destroying Jewish homes where there are tens, hundreds of thousands of illegal Arab homes. Not a word, not a peep, not a bulldozer, but Jews destroying Jewish homes. And the next day there was a terrorist attack. And a lot of people felt like there was a connection between that terrorist attack, a man being murdered, and the Jews. And and so when the when our enemies see us turning on each other, they they smell the confusion. They smell the weakness, and they they they smell the blood in the air, and it's time to pounce. And that's what we're seeing now. I I I kind of agree with you on that, Ari, but I I I also think that there's something else going on here. And I think that I've been processing this over the last couple days is this idea of faith action that the world can't handle. And that's what Jews settling uh in Judea in Israel is God or Abraham receives a promise and um and he he he has faith in God and he he he walks out that promise, right? He comes to the land of Israel. He there's an action involved in that faith in that belief. uh in in the New Testament it talks about it says that uh Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness is that he because of his belief his faith but he acted on that and I believe what we're seeing today is Jews are acting on their faith in settling the land and that's what the world has a problem with is there's actually this faith action that's happening faith is not just something in the head it's something that we actually live out and do every day and I think this is happening and this is what is actually coming to America as well Charlie Kirk's assassination was because he was putting his faith in action. He was actually doing something. And that's what we're seeing here with this young guy. And this is what we're seeing in America. These uh jihadist are trying to shut down people of faith. These attacks are people that are actually doing something that aligns with their faith. It says, "No, this is this is actually the Bible that says this and this is why we're this is why we're doing it." And that's the opposition that we're facing uh with these jihadists just on this attack yesterday that we see on a regular basis here is these attacks are because Jews are actually coming and settling. >> What's interesting you say the word faith action but the Hebrew word for faith is amuna and within that word there is another word in the same root which is imun which means practice >> and then there's another word that's connected with the same root which is which is loyalty. So amuna together is faith in action in practice with loyalty and you are loyal to that faith you are living out in action that is what Hebrew faith is that is biblical faith having a theology or a belief that that can change that's evolving it's like when you express it in the world with action with works that's when you are actually living out faith >> that's really >> I believe that's what these young guys are doing totally literally what they're doing and that's why they're getting opposition for that >> so I think it's important even So, you know, we can't every week talk about every story that happens like this, even though it happens every single week, some greater proportion, some less. But I think like you were saying, Jeremy, you if if you pay attention to the mainstream media, if you're looking on the UN website, you will absolutely see these guys who are out shephering their sheep and were attacked listed as violent settlers now or an act of of of settler violence. But I think it's important for people to know to to have this picture painted in your head. Imagine like Ari was saying, young people disconnected from the secular world, disconnected from technology, uh who believe the words of the Bible, who are out reading the Psalms, shephering their sheep, literally walking in the footsteps of King David, young Judeans who are uh shephering their sheep in the hills of Judea, just like their ancestors did 3,000 years ago. And then they're attacked and they're uh you know violently attacked, bruised, bloodied, their sheep stolen uh and then they're they're vilified because of it. And this happens over and over and over again. You guys need to know there's this picture of these actually amazing people who are out on the hills of Israel every single day simply living their lives, settling the land, uh shephering their sheep. Maybe some of them have cows, maybe they're building a home. Those are the real people and 100% of the time the world will list them as violent settlers, extremists, colonizers, um you know the the the occupied territories who are trying to steal homes. The other thing is that this land is wide open. These hills, Judea and Samaria, what the world calls the West Bank is just wide open spaces. And when you have se uh when you have shepherds who are attacked like this, they're shephering out in the the wide open spaces. They're not they're not stealing land or stealing animals for the Arabs or destroying they're they're walking the hills where no one has walked for 2 years. >> Percentage of Judea and Samaria has a Jewish settlement on it. >> It's I want to say like less than 3% or something. 1% 3% if you include the farms and because and so the farms are actually protecting and securing uh the the the settlements the bigger settlements that still in some way even though we're expanding out to Judea and we're returning to our indigenous homeland you know it's one thing they say to take the Jew out of the ghetto it's another thing the ghetto out of the Jew and you see these settlements pop up and they're surrounded by barbed wire fences and security systems and then we're building in duplexes and then you see the way that the Arabs just spread out. They they don't have any fences, any security systems. They sleep the sleep of the just, you know, they're just sleeping and and no fences because there's no threat to them, >> right? And [clears throat] so we're building like that. So a big part of what these young uh idealistic beautiful Jews are about is breaking through that mold and saying we're not going to be we're not a ghettoized Jew anymore. We're not going to live in fear, but you don't have weapons. So we don't have weapons. So, we don't have weapons. Our faith is our weapon. >> And they're still happening. >> And the world doesn't know what to do with it. >> There's one more thing I wanted to say. And, uh, you know, for years, we had heard this statistic that 85% of the Bible was written or occurred in Judea and Samaria. I'm sure you guys have heard something like this, too. Um, after a while, I kind of stopped saying it to people because I didn't know the source and and some of our team was like, "Ah, we need to find if that's actually true, you know, we need to figure this out." So, I haven't said it in a while, right? Although I I would still say I'll tell people the majority of your Bible took place right here. Well, last week uh I was with one one of our groups here and our bus driver, which the bus drivers are always like the coolest people in Israel. Uh cuz they're always like the locals. They have their own stories. They're like the pioneers. Uh this guy like every time he lets us off the bus, he's like studying Torah. um he told me he's like you know there was a the a professor that did a study in Israel and I still don't have the source so I'm sorry I can't like actually quote the source for you guys but he said this professor did an actual study and found out that 93% of the Bible was was written or took place in Judea and Samaria and so I thought it was just really interesting that randomly I heard this again and hopefully I will find the source but like people need to know that when they're talking about making a Palestinian state. They're talking about giving this way land to terrorists, to Hamas, to Fata, to Palestinian Authority, whatever. They're talking about giving away the Bible. They're talking about taking away the very places where the Bible was written, where the Bible took place, where almost every single hero and character from our scripture, our shared scriptures for the Jewish people and for Christianity took place right here. the very heritage sites. >> That's the common thread with the enemies of Israel. We're not the Jews of the Bible. This isn't the same Israel as it was in the Bible. Once they remove us from biblical Israel in the land, then it's like, "All right, there's some random people that are living in Tel Aviv that has no continuity." And our deepest message to the world is that the Bible is alive today. That we are the next chapter in the book. That we are the continuation of the people of Israel and that biblical destiny is unfolding. That's why this little sliver of land inside a sliver of land in Judea and Samaria that's on the chopping block because once they detach us from biblical Israel, they've detached us from the Bible. I mean, on a higher level than that being our message today, I'm starting to realize that Israel advocacy YouTube clips and a lot of it is really not the ultimate answer. It's not convincing the world of anything. It's understanding the truth ourselves and living that truth. when we live as biblical Jews, when we live as God, you know, one of the uh in last week's Torah portion, Jacob gets Esau's blessing and the entire premise of why did he take Esau's blessing? Why did Jake uh Isaac love Esau? Because he saw the potential in Esau, that he had a mastery of the material world and Isaac believed that he could elevate it. But Rebecca knew better. And so when Jacob took the blessing, it's because he would be able to really elevate the physical material world. He wouldn't be owned by it, but he would elevate it and sanctify it. But when a God is bringing the nation of Israel back to the land of Israel, he's bringing us home. And there are millions of Jews in America. Many of them are there because of their physical material attachment to the land. And so, Esau actually has a legitimate grievance against us. He has a legitimate grievance against Israel that if we're not returning to our land and we are actually owned by our possessions, then we're not sanctifying it. When we return to the land of Israel and we sanctify the material world and we shine a light, then I believe that Esau's heart will change towards us. Ishmael's heart will change towards us. We don't need to convince them of anything. We just need to be who we're supposed to be and that who we are will speak much louder than what we say. Are you saying that the light and the Torah is actually supposed to go forth from Zion to the world? >> That's well well articulated. Yeah, you should somebody wrote that. >> Well, because if not, then there's only going to be lies. When I think about like this, how many times the occupation the occupation when you think about there's only 1% of Judea and Samaria that's settled by Jews and the world. It's like not just like a lie. It's the anti-truth. 1% of that land is settled and there is obsessed with the Jewish occupation in the land. You can't make this up. So unless the Jews actually bring the truth, the lies will fill the vacuum. So speaking of land in Judea and Samaria, there's there's another story and it's interesting because a lot of the stories we're talking about today were mostly found in the Hebrew media, not in the English media. So you guys are getting the real like behind thescenes uh scoop today. Uh, and uh, that's lots thanks to Jeremy and Ari cuz you know our Hebrew is not quite as good as y'alls by a long shot. Uh, so but the Knesset Israel's parliament is actually working on a piece of legislation that would overturn a 70-year discriminate discriminatory law that keeps Jews from buying land in Judea and Samaria. For 70 plus years now, you could not purchase any house, any piece of land, any building in Judea and Samaria unless you were Jordanian, had Jordanian citizenship or some kind of Arab citizenship. I would assume Palestinian authority. I don't know if maybe another Arab country would also qualify, but this is just crazy. And Nate, you can chime in here because I know this is your area of expertise as well. Um, that you could be an Israeli citizen living in the nation of Israel and you can't buy property. But if you're a Jordanian who does not live in Israel, you live in Jordan, you have a Jordanian passport, you could come over here to Israel and buy a piece of property. >> It's so absurd that I'm sure people are going to be like, "Wait, let me pause this, go back 40 seconds, and relisten to that." That wait, Jews can buy property in Ottawa, in New York, in London, in Japan, but they can't buy property in Judea, and everybody else can. It's not like it's not viable, just not viable by Jews, right? And why is that? It's from the Ottoman law back in 1858, right? And so why is Israel held on to this? It's like imagine America enforcing British colonial law from before the revolution enforcing that now in America, right? It's just so crazy. So go ahead, Nick. Yes. >> So this is just the tip of the iceberg of the of the insanity of this stuff. Like we could go for an hour podcast just talking about this this issue. Uh but simply I think that this law actually is good but it's also a bit insane. Uh cuz there's a really simple way to fix this. It's called sovereignty. >> Exactly. >> That actually fixes the problem. Uh because what the reason why this law is still on the books is because Judea and Samaria is still occupied territories. And because it's occupied territories and not under a sovereign nation. It's not sovereign law has not been applied to Judeian and Samaria. they have to recognize the previous law of the previous owners of that land to the last sovereign nation. Uh, which would be >> But I think what's Ari saying though is is interesting is it literally goes back to like a lot of the laws go back to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, >> the last sovereign nation to rule over the land. Like >> people think, "Oh, it's occupied territories." And you're like, "Uh, yeah, the laws actually go back to the >> So this is where it gets like absolutely insanity because we're talking about Ottoman law here that's still deciding what happens in Judea and Sarah. That's more than 500 years ago. Mhm. >> So you have deeds from the Ottoman Empire to Arabs here that uh we actually don't even know who they are. And it actually causes [clears throat] a big problem because it's occupied territory. So it's under military law. It's not under uh the the sovereign nation Israeli law. It's under military law. And so that means that Muhammad owns a piece of land of the Ottoman Empire, the son of Muhammad, the son of Muhammad. Well, we have no idea who that is. There's no way of knowing. there's and and or jihad owns the land and he has 150 descendants now and they're all over the world. People are going to think you're joking when you you say jihad like literally I know >> people actually are named a Arab from named Jihad. Like that's literally a popular name. >> Uh yeah, it is. >> I mean I had a plumber named Messiah. [laughter] >> Just saying. Okay. It goes both ways. >> That's right. Uh so this this whole thing is is uh is really atrocious when it comes down to it. Uh the the actual law itself uh yes, it needs to happen. But another thing is is it doesn't actually change anything because when it actually comes down to the to the ground under the Palestinian Authority, if a Arab jihadist, if an Arab sells land to a Jew, he gets the death penalty. Once again, this is insane. Like we're we're sitting in a situation they they changed this law in Israel, but >> on the ground actually willing to sell and there's like companies set up to funnel it through multiple. Well, right now you have a company check them and stuff. >> The way that they do it right now is is that you have a company that's set up in Israel, that's under a company that's set up in New York, that's under a company that's set up in England, that's under a company that's set up in Bonus Aerys, and it's under a company, and it's like 10 different company that's under so nobody knows who actually is the owner, >> right? >> Um that's literally how they buy land in Judaism and Samaria right now. And then they'll have some jihadist Arab that wants to make a little money that is the cover for this whole. >> But just to make it clear, what's insane about this is not the Ottoman law. That makes perfect sense. It makes sense that the Ottomans in 1858 when the early early early pioneers were starting to trickle back to the land and they were seeing this happen that they designed laws specifically to prevent Jews from returning to Judea, from reclaiming their land. That makes perfect sense. What is insane is that the Jewish state of Israel is still using that law. >> Correct. >> Right. Well, and and I think that what's the solution? What is the solution here? What happens? What's going to happen right now in Ukraine in Russia? There's about to be a border change. How does that play out in every other country in the world? Well, how did it play out in Israel in 1948? Well, this is basically the way it happens is when you have a border change, you set up a system. They the government, you have to come in and claim your land. They come in with the paperwork. They say this is they have a time frame. They have an office. They have a place that says this is my land. This is the land that's needed. And they come in, they claim the land. Uh and then and then any land that's not claimed automatically becomes state land. Uh we have a huge amount of land right now that's not that's that's just we have no idea who it is. We know it's private land. You can't do anything with it because it's private land. Um and so then once that happens in Israel proper, any Jew can buy land Israel proper. I think it's important to stress too that like Israel is already way past that point and like there's already a lot of land in Judea and Samaria that's designated as state land. >> Correct. >> Um and people think oh like yeah you're talking about >> Israel taking over you know occupied territory but then the question is like from who? From the Ottoman Turks or from Jordan or because people think like oh it's the Palestinians. I'm like, "No, like there's not really any Palestinian entity or government or nation that I would go back to." And even like if you were to go start knocking on doors from our Arab neighbors across the hill be like, "Oh, where are you from? I'm from Egypt. Where are you from? I'm from Jordan. Where you're I'm from Syria. I'm from Lebanon." Like they're not from here. [snorts] Um the the most of the Arabs, yes, of course, there's some or it's just Nate's phone. Um, but literally all that needs to happen is for Israel to apply sovereignty and be and like people think, well, isn't that like a big deal? Then Israel's taking over another country. No, like literally Israel just has to say sovereignty now and that's it. >> Now obviously there's logistics on the ground that have to happen. >> Must be a step in the right direction because the kamas came out against it. >> That's true. >> It is. >> Anything kamas comes against is definitely a step for aggression. >> For sure. And and you know I think uh getting into a bigger topic here um I think the whole sovereignty issue is uh there is a the biggest issue that I've heard that I believe actually is a legitimate issue is that how do you deal with the crime? The jihadists are the people that commit the crime in in in Israel. Uh for the most part most of the crime is committed by the Arab population. And if you bring in another 1 to two million Arabs in Judea and Samaria, if you apply sovereignty, how do you deal with the crime issue? >> I would look at Dubai. I think that Dubai is a marvelous example of how to deal with the jihad. There is 0% crime in Dubai. I went to Dubai as soon as they joined the Abraham Accords. I went there for Hanukkah cuz I had never imagined that I would be able to go in a Muslim country with my seat seat out and a keepa on my head. To me, it felt a little bit like the Messianic era, like wow, this is actually happening. And I remember sending my daughter Emuna who was like I don't know 8 years old at the time. I said just go across the street get some milk. We'll have some breakfast in the morning and she's downtown Dubai and she's walking across the street. My wife would walk through like here's the African workers. She like good evening ma'am. Walk by Afghan workers. Good evening ma'am. Just no crime because if you do commit a crime there is an immediate and severe punishment. So what Israel would need to do is to take ownership and full responsibility and if there is any jihad that rears its head even with a like on Facebook, they need to be deported. They need to be dealt with and that's how we would deal with it. We actually need to take respect. >> But there's also there's also Guam and uh the Mariana Islands. There's Puerto Rico. When you become uh it doesn't mean automatic citizenship. That's there's there's no country where that's a demand. there's a path to citizenship where they can prove their loyalty and their desire to live in the Jewish state of Israel and then they would be able to be accepted. But just to automatically give them citizenship and that's a demand of the international community, it's absurd. It's we don't need to take that seriously. Immediate sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, and Gaza period. Well, >> I think it actually be a good idea if like, all right, well, if you would like to actually be a full citizen, here's the path to conversion. >> You this is a Jewish country. Do you want to convert to Judaism? It's not a racist thing. It's not like if you're black or if you're white or if you're purple or polkadotted, you can always join the people of Israel. If there is one Jewish state, that's another option. If you want to be a gertosha, if you want to be a resident alien, you want to be a friend of the people of Israel, then there's another status for you. You can live here in peace. But if you raise your finger in jihad, there needs to be immediate consequences. I guess that the question that I have on that is is that Israel's already having a hard time policing the Arab neighborhoods outside of Judea and Samaria in whether that's East Jerusalem, that's Khifa areas, uh Tel Aas, Load, uh Nazareth, uh these kind of areas, there's a lot of crime that's happening. How do you carry this extra burden? How do you enforce that? Because the police force, like that's just a that's a huge amount. I mean, if they started out by just getting rid of all the current terrorists that could take care of like >> well, how many what was it? 85% >> uh said they they were supported kamas after October 7th. >> So, I mean, if we got rid of 85% of them, you know, actually saying yes, these guys are current terrorists uh and just kick those out of the country, then you'll have send them to Syria. >> Send them to Syria. Like, when you say get rid of them, like what does that mean? There's actually like a real way to do that because you know what's happening. >> South Africa, Yemen, just send them on a plane to South Africa and let them think about there's a lot of jihadist countries that should really be open arms. Receive them with open arms, you know. But but of course the everybody the whole world is against Jews returning to Judea. The light of redemption shines more brightly and illuminates the world more powerfully with the godly light. And that godly light is a threat to the Tucker Carlson's of the world, to the Vladimir Putin's of the world. And and on a deep subconscious level, they recognize the threat that is to their power. Just in this week's Torah portion, right after Jacob confronted Esau, what's the first thing he did? He bought a field right here, right here in right. He purchased the land of Israel all again and again. David, Abraham, they're offered to take it for free. Take it for free. No. They could say yes, I'll take it for free because God has given it to them. But like yes, I I want to acquire it on the divine [clears throat] spiritual realm, but also on this earthly realm. So it can never be in all of those places where we purchased the land. Those are the most contested places where they come against us with the greatest fierceness is exactly in those places where we purchased the land. And so we really need to look back at our forefathers and understand we need to go in their in their ways and in their and that's what's happening. This week's Torah portion is where this law was passed. Yeah, I think that's really interesting. >> One other thing on the land thing is outside of Judea and Samaria, Arabs and Jews buy and purchase land all the time in Israel proper. If you go to Load, go to Tel Aviv, go to these places where there's Arabs, Jews living together, there is uh no death penalty to Arabs when they sell land. Uh there's no restriction on Israeli law that keeps Jews from buying land. Uh it's open. You can purchase land back and forth. Um that and so I believe sovereignty is really the answer to change the ground to change the >> I would say not what does sovereignty do? It really gets rid of the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority are the ones that are paying the terrorists to kill >> the Palestinian dictatorship, >> right? They they haven't been elected in I don't even know how long. So they're paying terrorists to kill Jews. They're killing the Arabs that are selling land to Jews. It's like how can we be dealing with such an authority at our borders, inside our borders with us? It's not just a matter of sovereignty. It's a matter of just dismantling that terrible entity. And now what Israel's thinking about doing is actually bringing them to rule over Gaza. I was about to say like literally the UN Security Council was voting last week for a Palestinian state under the opaces of the Palestinian Authority provided that they go through this reform process. >> Is there any other country in the world or United Nations are voting about how that country should deal with its internal issues? Only Israel. Well, and just the idea that the Palestinian Authority would reform or that Hamas would reform because all of this hinges on like reform, right? And we're like, uh, how many decades of inifadas and violence and attacks and and evidence do we need? I mean, like we've been in the Arab villages to see the uh the the mayors and the the maps of Israel on the wall and the propaganda and the curriculum and the just just the brainwashing. And they go to summer camp every year to learn how to kill Jews. It's like and and uh you were saying hundreds of millions of dollars that they give to terrorists. Um like how much more evidence do we need? Like this is not going to work. But if we got rid of kamas and we got rid of fata which is the Palestinian Authority and the PLO, it's all the same thing. We could actually get something done and there could be sovereignty and there could be peace. >> Which I think even the Palestinian Authority I think the the whole misconception there is that they're actually a righting government >> body. Makm Abbas is 90 years old and he's 15 plus years over his term limit. >> Well, I think even more than that. Makmoud Abbas abolished the legislative branch of the Palestinian Authority. There's no legislative branch anymore. Uh the the Oso Accords that set up the Palestinian Authority as the government uh was entirely based on a really American style government where you have a legislative branch, a judicial branch, and the and the uh executive of that uh of the of the Palestinian Authority. That that's that's how it was set up. Today the Makwood Abbas abolished the the legislative branch. He coerced the uh judicial branch to pass a law or to actually decide that he could do that. Like so it's basically it's become really become a dictatorship laws without anybody else. He's the only one doing it. >> Palestinian was started as an interim government when the Oslo Accords called for a full government to be set up and like that never happened. >> That was only supposed to last for 5 years, >> right? Never happened. Like it just just didn't. like there's nothing to show >> for uh completely the only thing that's still existent from the Oslo Accords is the the uh ABNC on the ground on the Arab side. That's really the only only thing >> which the Arabs have builtund I saw this morning 103,000 illegal structures inside area C. >> Yeah. You know, I remember when I was on the Louis thorough documentary, The Settlers, which my face was the thumbnail of, and he actually, he only had two commercials for the entire, you know, the whole thing. And one of them was a little brief conversation with me. Now, why did he use that clip? I actually really liked that clip. Why did he use that clip? Because to him, he's trying to show the world that these crazy settlers don't care about the rule of law. But I like that clip because I was saying that certain things transcend this man-made hypocritical international law that applies very selectively to some and not others. And I say this transcends that. There's the law of man and the law of God. And when they conflict, there's no question in my mind who to go with. And that's what the state of Israel will soon be projecting that light to the world. Again, we are on the seam between the leadership of Saul into the leadership of David. I feel it. Everybody feels it. We're on the cusp of a great light of redemption shining. May it be soon. >> And this law and the the Knesset is just another historic shift towards that process. I think if if the Knesset actually passes a law, there's there's a a rumor that maybe the defense ministry just has to enol the the ban on the law. Um even before the Knesset passes legislation, right? And that means any Israeli, any Jew could then purchase land inside Judea and Samaria. It could be revolutionary. So I think that's just amazing amazing things happening. Um Jeremy, you usually have some Torah portion nuggets for us. Ari kind of already referenced this week's Torah portion. Um before we wrap up today, you have anything to add from uh the Torah this week? >> Yeah, I feel like it's important that we feel the winds of change. The winds of change are blowing around the world right now and America was the shining light. I felt like Israel could always rely on the United States. And I feel like we're coming to a time where Israel will only be able to rely on God. And in Genesis chapter 31, at [clears throat] the very end of the story, right before Jacob leaves, it says that Jacob wakes up, he looks at Laban's face, and Laban's face is not the same as it was the day before. And then God comes to him and says, "Get up and go back to the land of Israel." And so I feel like the people that are inside America, the Jews that are inside America, they need to look up and say like, is the face of Laban the same as it was the other day or is there like a rise in Jew hatred in America? And the people inside Israel need to look at America and say like, is the face the same or is it different? And I feel like if we really feel the winds of change, that is the call to return to the land of Israel. And the fact that this law is being passed, that we can now buy land in Judea and Samaria. All of this is pointing us to one direction. It's all pointing us back to the land of Israel. And you think about it, I mean, the laws are against us. The numbers are against us. The international communities are against us. And it's all about the Jewish people settling the land of Israel. And right now, we need to realize that we need to settle it one way or the other. Not with America's help and not with anyone's help. just we need sovereignty and we need to settle the land. >> That's right. >> I I was just thinking on that just is this a time when you know I'm thinking about Laban coming after Jacob you know he leaves here and they set up this this altar and kind of say all right here's a boundary you don't cross this point I don't cross that point. Is that kind of where Israel needs to be right now? Exactly. It's kind of like saying, "All right, America, like, yeah, we've gotten a lot from you, all these children, all this, whatever, but here's the boundary. You can come to here and we're going to come to here, but we're not crossing this line." >> Interesting. >> So, just thought about that as you were saying it. >> It's an interesting thought, guys. Keep your eyes on the land of Israel. It's where it's it's it's where prophecy and uh world changing, shaking events are are happening every single day. Um and and what's happening in America is is ultimately tied to what's happening in Israel. You know, the there's trouble in Washington DC. There the same type of uh jihad happening right in the hills of Judea. And uh you got to keep keep our eyes fixed on what's important and ultimately that's God's plan. God's plan for redemption coming out of Jerusalem. So, as always guys, great to have you with us. Let us know what you think about today's uh podcast in the comments below.
