🚨 WARNING! The UN Supporting a NUCLEAR Iran | Land of Israel Guys Podcast

[music] >> Hey guys, welcome back to the Israel guys where we believe that in a world of anti-Israel propaganda and Jew hatred, you ought to connect to the land and people of Israel. We're super excited to be back with you. Luke, Ari, Jeremy. Um boy, there's so much to talk about as always this week that's coming out. But um you know, between the UN so much I mean this UN, CNN, God how many things can we talk about today that are just absolutely off the rails? We got a flotilla coming into Israel that was just stopped. Uh we have the ICC All of that today we're going to be discussing. We even have election stuff that's heating up here in Israel as who's going to be the next Prime Minister. Elections are coming up in October. So there's just so much to go on. But all of this >> Josh, there's one thing you left out. >> Yes, what's that? Ari, I I just want to point out I really like Ari's shirt today. >> [laughter] >> And I think the audience is going to too cuz it's not black. >> Oh, thank you. >> Um I'm the only one that typically doesn't wear black on the show. So I mean I I was just thinking. I was like I know Jeremy's not going to back down from the black polo shirt. And I don't want people to be like what? Judean rabbis have a uniform I don't know why you wear it. For me it like takes some pounds off. You don't even struggle with that. It's like a waste on you. But either way >> [laughter] >> All right, moving on gentlemen. Wait, does black shirts make you look smaller? Yes. >> really true? >> Yes, Josh Waller. >> [laughter] >> Okay, another thing I learned from the rabbis. Another guy doesn't struggle with that. Yeah, okay. [laughter] Okay guys, to kick this off I do think and we talked about where do we put this in. But literally I'm sitting here holding this letter and as Luke knows I if I'm sitting if something's in front of me I'm going to talk about the first thing. We just got this letter from the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner. Anybody think this is cool? I'm going to just make sure our editors blur it so you guys can't see what's actually written there. >> [laughter] >> What is it? Yeah. Is it um Oh, I just want to tease it cuz we're probably going to put out something else about this. Yeah, in-depth deep dive. But it's I think it's fair to say we we are being targeted by the UN the UN Human Rights Commission. Um they're mad at us at us about uh helping settlements in uh Judea and Samaria. And uh they've given us a window of time here to recant our our actions of helping Jews in Judea and Samaria. >> What does that mean? They're asking you just to just be like, "Oh, I take it back. I didn't mean to." That's it, just words? Or are they asking you to like No, if we if we refine then we'll be we'll be fine. >> to find them we have to send them proof, I think, by email or something like that. Contact them. We have to show them evidence that we have stopped helping the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. Anyway, guys. Wait, what does it say there actually? Does it say the Jewish community or does it say the occupation? Because if it's the occupation I chose the Palestinian territories. What It says the Palestinian territories. I chose that language, yeah. We're operating in Palestinian territory. >> line. Here's a tease for you guys. It says a business enterprise may provide information indicating that it is no longer involved in the relevant activity. But um, and where we're here here you go. I told you guys I wasn't going to give you the juicy details of it, but it says we are guilty of uh providing touristic services to the Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. >> are criminals. There you go. >> Criminal. That's all I'm going to read you guys. There's a lot more about farming and helping farmers. >> That's what it is? That's like the least of the good things you do for the Jewish people. >> There's more than that. They've been researching this for quite some time and this is what they have of now. >> This isn't your first crossing with the UN though, is it? >> Oh, yeah. It took them a year almost 2 years to to do this report. >> to us 2 years ago and told us that they were going to be checking us out. And so, this is now their official um they've they've made an official appeal now to the Human Rights Council that now will become official in September. >> Just so you know, this report is going to be presented to the UN Human Rights Council in September at the UN General Assembly. Do you get to be there, too? I hope so. Wouldn't that just be awesome? >> Yeah, I hope so. You want to go to the United Nations? I would love to. I always thought I always thought that was like the seat of evil. No, it is. But, that's why you want to go. Anyway, guys. We're going to be talking more about this. >> getting a a notice from the office of the International Court of the Tower of Babel. Yeah, [laughter] that's good. >> It's like the exact same thing. Well, I really want to point something out and that's really important because there's a prophecy that was given thousands of years ago that all nations are going to come against Jerusalem. It's going to be an attack against God, against God's land. And like how could that have even made sense thousands of years ago? How would all nations get together with pigeons? They would send off couriers. Like it doesn't make any sense. And all of a sudden now there's actually an organization, a body of nations, the United Nations. And where are they attacking? Judea and Samaria. They're attacking the heart of Israel. And it's amazing you guys have actually been selected. It's like a badge of honor because it means the work you're doing is important enough to awaken that enemy because if you just need to understand prophecy as it's unfolding in the world, clearly the United Nations is going to be the seat of evil. They are the ones that are going to be this globalist power that's going to organize and mobilize to destroy whatever's being built here in the land of Israel. But let's think why they selected you. There's a number of organizations >> saying you, but but but you guys are the >> that support Hayovel. No, but we didn't get that. And there's a lot of organizations that support Judea and Samaria and they're not getting it either. Why you? It's like you are the tip of the spear. They want to send a warning shot to the nations of the world. It's one thing for the Jews to be trying to make it and breathe on their own and survive on their own. If you are of the nations, stay out of this. Stay out at the very least or turn against Israel. But if you think you're going to stand with them, then you're going to pay the price that they're paying. And so you guys are literally talk about attaching yourself to the house of Israel, that you're you're here at like the the tip of the spear. You guys are the tip. I mean, just so you know, the United Nations just recently elected Iran as a vice president of the nuclear non-proliferation review conference. It's like they're the one It's like such a backwards organization. And someone told me just recently in April they elected them to be something about human rights, women's rights after they just killed 40,000 of their own people. They're going to be the ones that are going to make decisions about human rights. So, it's like as everything is upside down. If you're being attacked by them, then you must be on the side of good. Yeah. I mean, that's just an incredible that the world is so blinded that that this could even be considered >> about it? We'll get back to the podcast in a second, but as you guys know, we host trips to Israel every year. This year, we originally had about nine trips to Israel Israel scheduled. Unfortunately, we had to cancel a couple of them including our upcoming Heartland experience that was originally scheduled to happen in June. Good news is we were able to reschedule the trip. The new dates are July 27th through August 5th, and you can sign up right now. So, I know that some airlines have canceled flights to Israel and and and you know, it's it's more difficult to get a plane ticket, but if you guys really want to come to Israel right now, especially to strengthen them after a time of war and so much hardship that they have gone through, and you are you know, you can get an El Al ticket or or one of the other Israeli airlines. If you can come to Israel this summer, July 27th through August 5th is the time to do it. Our Heartland experience is our 10-day trip where you get to be immersed in Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, Israel's biblical Heartland. You get to serve the people of Israel, see the places off the beaten track, get off the tour bus, get your hands dirty, and meet the pioneers who call this place home. It's one of our flagship programs. Usually, it's packed out, and thankfully, we're able to schedule it for a little later this summer to give airlines time to reopen up, you guys time to get plane tickets. So, space is, you know, filling up really fast, but if you guys want to get in on this trip, we'll put a link in the description below. The Heartland experience trip to Israel, July 27th through August 5th, click the link in the description below to sign up today. Back to the podcast. >> You know, I'm not I'm not exactly uh super nervous. I I I we did reach out to legal and and just to see what's going on with this. And And really right now, we're not at a point where this is actually dangerous to us because we have, you know, Israel-supporting entities all around the world. Like Is it we're in favor? Israel's in the favor, especially in the United States administration right now. If there was a day and the US administration shifted, then yes, this would be a really big problem because we see that in in parts of Europe right now. It They They take these things and then they adopt them in their countries, and that's what can be problematic. These um the the What do we call that? The the boycotts and the divestments and the sanctions. >> for people in those countries to go on your tours? Uh potentially. Um there's all kind of things that could affect it. And actually, there's amazing thing on the positive really quickly is is that Tennessee, that's the state I'm from, they just passed legislation in the state of Tennessee. Governor Bill Lee, great guy, amazing. And this kind of stuff is so powerful when you actually voted They voted in that you should call the West Bank should no longer be referred to as the West Bank, but it should be referred to as Judea and Samaria, its ancient historical biblical name. That's the state of Tennessee. So, in opposition to this kind of thing, if you want to do business with Tennessee now, this is legal. You have to recognize and you can't boycott and you can't divest and you can't sanction the state of Israel. And you also need to call it by its its historic biblical name, Judea and Samaria. So, isn't that so cool? It's simultaneously these two world powers are are uh you know, and lots of states in across America are doing this. So, we're right in the middle of a lot of things. To support Israel, you're having to really stand out. And uh and some people are loving you for it, and some people some countries are loving you for it, and some countries >> Nobody's indifferent. Nobody's like, "Oh, Israel, yeah, yeah, yeah." One or the other, that's for sure. So, uh yeah, more information coming out on that. Um obviously, support of, you know, people like you guys watching and listening, that keeps us going. And uh when we have global institutions coming against us, your support means more than ever. So, thank you guys for that. I want to dive in with a CNN headline that probably appeared all around the world. The headline said, "Israeli settlers razor wire blocks children's school route." Now, this is from you guys' neck of the woods. I think a little more south of you guys uh in Judea, southern Judea. And the article says, "Israeli settlers have set up razor wire near the village of Umm al-Khair in the occupied West blank West Bank blocking Palestinian children from going to school for 2 weeks." And uh if we watch some of the the video clips from here, we have a bunch of very young school children, some as young as 5 years old, demonstrating in front of razor wire. There's a very there there's a a picture of a young boy sitting in front of razor wire with a sign in English, which is kind of interesting. Uh razor wire behind him, IDF soldiers behind that. That went very viral. Even like celebrities are now like posting it. An NBA player post put it replaces profile picture with this young boy. And so, what the world thinks is that the IDF, the cruel military Israeli military is now cut off children with razor wire and the the Arab children in in the West Bank from getting to school. Well, then even though it was settlers, it wasn't even the IDF, but it was just random Israelis that are going and doing that. IDF is supporting them. And so, the the story they want you to believe is they they were taking their road to school and then now the settlements have come in and blocked them off, right? Unfortunately for them, that's not the real story and it's easily debunked. The only unfortunate thing is whether or not, you know, how many people will actually see the truth. Here's the truth. And um this information came directly from the uh the local municipality. We'll show you video that the the governor down there uh took actually showing you where the school is, where the the their villages. And from the Judea and Samaria situation room upcoming uh research center here in Samaria. Um it's a blood libel. That's the That's That's the facts. That's the bare-bones fact. It is a complete blood libel. So, you have the village of the Jewish community of Carmel built on Israeli state land in Judea. And then you have an Arab village Umm al-Khair, al, which is an illegal community Arab community built inside the boundaries of the Carmel settlement on Israeli state land, so completely meaning area C, illegal for them under anything. If you believe in Oslo, it's illegal there. It's Israeli state land, that's illegal. It's inside the the boundaries of the Jewish community and it's illegal. Um all of it all of it completely illegal. And then you have the CNN article, which is obviously staged. You can see the two little girls that are talking are are holding back laughs, and that's not like you guys can see that for yourself. >> That's why I'm laughing the whole time, Luke, cuz it's If it's hard to laugh when you actually think that this is real. Cuz if it was real and there was actually like a pop persecution of children, they couldn't go to school. I mean, if that that would be a real problem. So, the world >> the way, since I'm a kid, I always struggled with this issue. I think a lot of people when you're not supposed to laugh, I always struggle not to laugh. The very thought of holding back a laugh is already a trauma for me because of the years of getting in trouble for laughing at the worst possible times to do it. >> Now, look at this little girl. Look at this little girl and that's next to the little girl that's testifying. And they're supposed to be crying. Yeah. And they're laughing. Right. Play Can you play the video or Yeah, we'll play a little clip of it. Um Obviously, you know what it makes me feel sorry for them because they're being used as puppets. They're being used as actors even at the young age of 7 years old, you know, however the old they are. The real story is that there the paved road, the asphalt road that they normally used to get to school, and you can see in this video, we'll show you B-roll of the the the governor down there took drove it and timed it. Took him a minute and 10 seconds to get from their village to their school and that's the route they normally take. It's still wide open. The the what they cut off was a dirt track that went straight down the side of a cliff hill basically. That was dangerous for them, took longer, they had to walk, right? And what's And the reason why they put barbed wire there is because it was the it's an illegal outpost and it and and there's a threat of terrorist infiltrations and they have multiple terrorist attempts to get into the Jewish community. So they put razor wire there. The better paved road where it takes them a minute and 10 seconds to get to get to school is still wide open, but obviously CNN and all the other agencies that covered this are not going to show that and it reminded me exactly of the time we caught the fake riot on camera, which you guys probably remember here on the Israel guys. Josh saw fake riot right at the bottom of the Mount of Blessing here happening at the entrance to Shechem, Nablus and we broadcasted that for all the world to see. They were riding against an empty road and it was being covered from one angle only by many of the international media. Including CNN. CNN was there. You know I want to say that out loud. >> part of this by the way is that kids are like, "Oh, I'm not able to get to school." Come on. What kid is really like crying about that? The story just came out about the Lebanese girl that sent the Israeli government a message from her school saying there are weapons being stored in my school. In or she wanted them to bomb the school. >> She didn't want to go to school. >> want to go to school. She wanted to want to go to school. That's what actually happened. >> The other propaganda piece that I want to bring out is here. It is if maybe people don't notice this cuz they're such in a a bubble somewhere, but these children do not know English and they're all holding English >> English signs that the that the propagandist wrote for them and said, "Stand here, hold this." These children have no earthly idea what they're even talking about or or what they are say They don't know what those signs even say. So just another propaganda sign. >> But I'll tell you what happens is it's really it's working. I mean, once an NBA star puts the picture of the barbed wire and does all that, I mean, I just saw poll from the Harvard Harris poll that thousands of people It says the older generation in the United States of America, 78% of them are supportive of Israel. But, [clears throat] then as you go and you're younger and younger but I think it's between the ages of 18 and 24, there's only an 8-point difference. That means about half of the people between the ages of 18 and 24 support the Hamas over Israel. Wow. >> It's not like supporting the Palestinian people. It's supporting the terrorist organization because what happens is they see pictures like that and they're like, "Oh, this like these are they're just evil. They're like they're Okay, they're also it's just like one against the other. They're the same moral grounds and they've just confused everyone." So, it doesn't really matter. They their job they're doing their job and it's working. >> It's effective and that's why I want to ask you guys. You know, you have a very unique and specific vantage point. You don't have the thousands of years of collective baggage and trauma of the nation of Israel and dealing with all of this. Coming from the outside, what would you advise the Prime Minister of Israel? You know, you for years it's the same false accusations that are getting total screen time all over the world. You're losing the PR war. What is your advice? >> what I just I literally just was talking to somebody about this right before I jumped on the show. And it was our producer Joseph over here and it's funny cuz I just saw a news headline that said Israel is quadrupling their PR budget. Ugh. And there was this under right underneath that they said and many are skeptical that's even going to work. And I was like, "Add me to the list." >> Me, too. Because and I and this was my Not only will it not work, it will it will it will make things four times worse. >> Well, this is what I told them off off the show. I said, "Listen, in my mind I agree with that because I said, 'You know what Texans do? They're proud about being Texan.' You know, most Americans and I mean, at least in most parts of America and maybe this new woke thing is different, but most Americans are just they're just proud Americans and they don't go behind and they don't apologize and talk about how things that do not work in and what doesn't they don't give the enemies a lot of you they just plainly state we're this and we're proud of it. And Israel because of small country I could get why you want to give a lot of attention to the opposite and this enemy and that enemy and try to be diplomatic and all but at the end of the day my approach is is that Israel could learn a lot from the Texas hasbara the advocacy of of the Texans. Stand up raise that flag really high and don't apologize for it. Just just be Jewish and just say it the way it is and just when that when those kids you know put this fake propaganda call it out for what it is. Don't try to be like oh but did you see that we we dealt with the flotilla really nicely and and you know the Gaza things we're letting them you know we we we we let the drugs and condoms in anyway literally on this flotilla that's what they found on the flotilla. Like it the stupidest stuff in the world that Israel deals with these and thousands of people on a flotilla and yet they they lose the war on this. It's Israel against Hamas for goodness sakes and they're still losing and to me it's because in my mind let's raise that flag high and don't apologize for it. Right I have to tell you in some level we're still in the second grade schoolyard. The whole world things aren't really that different. There's more advanced articulation of eloquent words but really on the bottom line. So if there's kids that are making fun of each other and hate each other and it's like fatty fatty fatcakes and the kids are like I'm not fat because I'm not and he starts to cry then they're like the kids are like oh that's his weak spot now I know his weak spot. When Israel is like I'm going to up our our PR budget by four times they're like oh so the attacks that we're doing there that's their weak spot. If it's because we care so much who where what is Vladimir Putin's PR budget? You know and he's attacking us because we respond because we defend ourselves. >> have a PR budget? I probably we should say >> say obviously it's a joke but you know what it's not a bad idea. It's not a bad idea we really should do that because the kids go to school and then they just step out and throw rocks at our cars anyways. Better they don't go. Good idea. Thank you. You know, just [clears throat] lean in and not take it all so seriously, move forward rather than being responsive and reactive. And you know ultimately what I'm going to say. The only way to fight darkness is not with darkness or defensiveness, it's with light. We need to build the Beit Hamikdash. Yeah. We need to build the temple on Mount Moriah and that will shine a light that will just totally infuse reality with so much light that this darkness will immediately dissipate. I can't let a show go by without making that call. There's one other thing I want to say before we move on from the story that CNN put out and that is the opposite reality and we'll just show this video clip we'll just show B-roll of Israeli children on their way to school in Israel's north with the backdrop of missiles and rockets being intercepted in the sky over their heads. So on the one hand you have the fake story of Arab children in the the West Bank, occupied West Bank being blocked when the nothing could be further from the truth. And then you have Israeli children who can't even hardly get to school without rockets being shot over their heads and probably hiding in the bomb shelter >> middle of a ceasefire. In the middle of a ceasefire. [clears throat] Exactly. And where is the NBA player that's posting the picture of the bus with a rocket over it, which is to me much more emotional and much more convincing to me of the actual story. Children in Israel's north are trying to go to school on a bus and literally you see the picture, you see the bus, you see the children and you see the rocket flying over their heads. That's that's to me way more convincing, but yet we're it's it's not landing. Nobody will know that story except for those that are listening right here. Well, that's why I think it doesn't really matter our PR budgets, what we're going to say, it just matters the policy that we implement. What does Israel do? If Judea and Samaria are a part of Israel, it's time for us to declare sovereignty, to start building it up instead of having a military there and having the barbed wire there and kind of we're we're there, but we're not there. It's Is it going to be Palestine? Is it not going to be Palestine? It's like, "No, it's done. It's over. This is Israel proper. There's Israeli law. There's police. It's just normal." And until we actually just apply sovereignty over our land, then of course we're going to be attacked, because we're telling them in our policy, not in our words, that it doesn't really belong to us. If it really belonged to us, then let's do it. Let's just now annex what we need to annex, declare sovereignty where we need to declare sovereignty, and just do what needs to be done. And then let the cards fall as they may. >> When you watch the Tucker Carlsons of the world, and I you know, I watch every one of his episodes twice. Twice. I know it's crazy, but there's some reason that I'm doing it that is not for not. But anyways, you know, you hear what they're accusing us of all around the world anyways, we might as well do it, right? They're saying that this entire war was in order for us to take in the south of Lilithania and and and annex and have the greater Israel. And clear if you're in Israel, you know that you know who we are. You know that that's totally antithetical to who the state of mind of Israel is, but maybe their their accusations are what we should be aspiring to actually do. You know, when I hear he he's he throws things out there all the time, cuz of I sometimes I put myself as just like a kid in college in America. I would be listening to Tucker Carlson, and I would actually be anti-Israel, because his arguments are so uh sinister and complex and compelling. That's why I listen to it. But then I'm listening to him, and he throws in things like, "And there's mass rape of Palestinians by settlers." And I'm like, "What?" I mean, anyone who knows anything, when you're here It's like me saying, uh "Minne- Everyone in Minnesota is lactose intolerant." And someone in Minnesota is like, "Wait a second. I'm from Minnesota, and I love cheese. And we all love cheese." I know that's not true. Like, if you live in Judea, you know the laughable, how ridiculously insane that accusation is. That I would put my life that there has been not even one. Not even one. Probably ever. And he's like, "Oh, mass rape of Palestinians by settlers." It's just so absurd. So, we really need to just take a step back just like Jeremy said. And proactively do what we need to do not what we say. We what we what we do. And by the way, on the sovereignty issue >> [clears throat] >> people are like, "We need to declare sovereignty because after Trump, who knows what the American administration's going to be like. This is the time to do it." And my answer to that is, "If we need approval by anyone to declare sovereignty, it's not real sovereignty. Then we're just playing a game. Right. And we we need to sovereignty needs to be from within. An actual expression of the sovereignty of our souls where the only one we fear is is God and not flesh and blood. You hear like these fake stories of settlers mass raping Palestinians. I just saw a news story or at least a blood libel that's being spread on social media that the Israeli army is training dogs to rape Palestinian women. Oh my gracious. That's really what I saw. And then they're they're saying that there's now there's dolphins that the Mossad is using to attack Palestinians in Gaza. And I think the newest one Luke just told me now there's rats. Yeah, well, they're training >> Let me read you the story. >> what? After the beeper thing, maybe. >> [laughter] >> Maybe. Maybe they are. The young people in the world are so gullible that they would even believe this stuff that they could train a rat to do intelligence for the IDF in Gaza. >> read you this. It's so it's so ridiculous and sounds so like much like propaganda that you have a hard time believing this is true. But according to Palestinian Media Watch, which is a watchdog NGO keeping track of what happens in the Palestinian movement and you know, in Israel across the world the Middle East Jamal Obaid, a member of the supreme leadership body of Fatah in Gaza accused Israel of introducing rats into previously uninfested areas of the Gaza Strip causing it a calling it a visible fact. Now, I just personally, I don't really doubt that there are rats in [snorts] Gaza, but uh they quote him as saying, "Quote, there are rodents in some areas of the Gaza Strip that were not known here in the strip. It seems that the Israeli occupation deliberately acted to introduce these rodents into the Gaza Strip." Adding that this is a fact and not just media propaganda. And he went on to say, "These rodents, mice, and rats are of a special kind. They are large in size and they particularly attack children and the sick. It is believed that these rodents were developed and experimented on specifically by the Israeli occupation. You know, can I just tell you, Luke, uh when you were just reading that, I've driven through Arab villages at night. Have you? Yes. Mhm. And there's one thing that you see. You see rats running through the roads. That's just what you see in these villages. Many of them are are a mix of third world and first world all kind of combined and they're slaughtering cows on the streets. >> are in the villages. The rats and the villages are all third world, first world. Yeah, now they're they're all rats would be definitely third world rats cuz you you can't get first world rats. Um they're slaughtering cows >> know. I'm pretty sure New York City has has different rats. >> that the IDF I'm getting confused. Where are you going? Slaughtering cows to get rats? Where are you going? >> No, I'm saying this culture, you're you're slaughtering a cow, you're throwing it's all that, you know, right on the roadside. This is what they do in these villages. Of course, it's not clean. It's nasty. There's They throw their garbage everywhere. Everywhere is trashy. And you don't think you're going to have rats? Of course, you're going to have rats and it's nothing to do with anybody except for themselves and the way they live in these villages. It's just a fact of what the status of these villages and how they operate. And you could blame somebody else and they're going to blame the whole world for their status. But of course, that's not the truth. The reality is is that Gaza is a war torn zone because of Hamas and because of what they've done. And of course, these issues they're going to have some rat issues. They had rat issues before, for goodness sake. Well, these are mutant rats now. And the fact that people are just going to believe what they want to believe, and I think the reason is is because right now it's almost like the Gazans are being positioned at the equal level. It's Hamas or Israel. What do you say? Oh, the younger generation sort of supports Hamas. And the UN just now declared after 2 years that the Hamas that came in, they didn't just kill the people, but they of the women that they killed. That is in my mind demonic, but truly demonic. Like that is not a normal enemy. That's not just another war between Russia and the Ukraine. There's something that's like an evil spirit that is beyond the natural order of humans. And that's the enemy that we're up against. And we're being held to this double standard of our morality while we're being accused of making mutant rats. Like Israel's just up against all odds. And so what Israel needs to do is just do what's right and to stop paying attention to the rest of the world. Right. You know, I just want to say I had this sort of revelation yesterday. I was talking to someone at the farm and they mentioned in passing that after October 7th, the idea of called up 400,000 reservist. And I was like, wait, 400,000. I remember that. Judges chapter 20. You remember the story about Pilegesh Biggy Vah this evil mob of Benjaminite raped and killed a woman. And then the message went out to Israel. And yes, there were issues that that that that that that are different, but the bottom line here is that the Israelites heard that this evil had penetrated their society and they left their jobs, they left their families, they put their lives on the line to go fight evil. 400,000 then, 400,000 now. And it's the same thing. Murder and rape. And it just has helped me understand more and more the deeper we dive into Prophets of Israel Daily, which everybody needs to sign up for because it's awesome and we're giving our hearts and souls into this thing, is that the 2000 It's not like, oh, we're we're back in our land, what's going on? No, no, no. 2000-year hiatus. We were on our path towards redemption, this redemption of Israel and of mankind, and then 2000 years we're in exile, and now we've just picked up the story where we've left off. Right, there's Judea Samaria, there's Tel Aviv, the Israelites, the Judeans, the all of the different factions, it's like we're just picking up exactly where we left off. And the only thing that sort of different is I don't think that then there were really the righteous of the nations that were coming and standing with us. That that in as far as I know is really a prophetic insight into the days of redemption and unique to these times and unique to to you guys. Mhm. You know, it's fascinating you're talking about the different groups and all all coming back to Israel in this redemption that's unfolding. What I what's interesting and and in light also what you just mentioned, Jeremy, about what's going on in America and how I would think the issue in America is completely related to the lack of connection to the Bible is why we see these younger demographic less connected to God. And which makes makes them less connected to Israel, and the older demographic being highly connected to God and the Bible and in in the world abroad, especially in America. And Israel is unique in this exactly what you're saying, Ari, is it that Israel in the story that's it's unfolding here is exactly opposite of what's happening in America. The disconnect of the children of the Bible from the Bible in America and that disconnect from Israel is is so opposite of what's happening here in Israel. If you look at the polls, I was just looking at it. 75% of the young people in Israel are voting conservative right-wing. Like, how in the world did that happen? Where this this demographic demographic in Israel is so opposite of what's happening in the the whole world is going woke, it's going um you know, anti-God. What in the world is happening here? Here in Israel, everybody's talking about the elections, they're talking about what's going to happen in October and all of these things. Well, it's going to be a I I it's going to be a surprise to everyone to see what's actually happening and I'd be curious to hear you guys' perspective on this cuz you guys have been in Israel for a while and experienced Israeli politics. Guys were almost in the Knesset yourselves not too many years ago. Um and and uh what it like what does this mean and I think just piggybacking off of what Josh said it's so significant when you see the young people in America the younger you get the more anti-Israel you get pro-Hamas those types of things but in Israel the exact opposite like how is that happening? How is it that the young people of Israel are becoming more and more conservative and and probably more religious and and connected to their faith too, right? What would you say? I would say that's absolutely What do you want to say? Okay, my thought is it's the just the fulfillment of prophecy. It's from above. God says when you return to the land I will take from you a heart of stone put within your heart of flesh that I'll put a new spirit within you and I look at this younger generation and from the eyes ironically from the eyes of an exiled diaspora Jew that's Orthodox in New York you they would say oh these kids are less religious because they're less into the minutia of all of the Jewish law, right? But it's that the the four cubits of Jewish law that have kept Jews alive for 2,000 years but now that we're in the land there's something primal that's being woken up in the spirit of the young Judeans of the young Israelites in the land today that is holistic and integrated and loves God and loves the land and willing to go and fight and and stand against the entire world is different. It's it's a God thing. It's a God thing, I think. Well, the last Messianic prophecy recorded in the Bible is when Elijah the prophet comes and announces the arrival of the great day. And then it says at the very very beginning right before that it says that God will restore the hearts of the fathers to their sons. And I'm like well, what does that mean? That means that the fathers that first originally came to Israel they just like the prophet said they had a heart of stone. They needed a heart of flesh. They just weren't that connected because communism took everything away from them, secularism took things away from them. All the Jews of 2,000 years of exile, the ones that made it back to the land of Israel, they just didn't have that spiritual source. But now with the people that are grown up in the land, they're really slowly but surely getting more connected to the land, more connected to who they are, and more connected to God. And then restore the hearts of the fathers to the sons is exactly what's about to happen because the next generation, they're going to be the next leaders of Israel. And so we're just watching this Messianic prophecy unfold because the next generation in Israel, I don't think we've seen a generation like this since the times of the Maccabees. I mean, the next generation that's rising up in Israel now is so fierce and so strong and they've been through so much and they've connected so deeply to their roots and to who they are. It's forced them to kind of come to grips with their identity and their identity ultimately is a Jew in the land in this chosen time in this chosen place and they're just connecting deeply to that. You know what this reminded me of? I just thought of this just now. Our mutual friend Yishai Fleisher was on Piers Morgan I think last week and Piers Morgan had a panel of Israelis. Yishai, the former IDF spokesperson, and then one of the other guys was Gideon Levy who's kind of a kind of like an old school infamous, I would say infamous, journalist for Haaretz. And Haaretz is like the New York Times of Israel, very liberal left-wing. But he's the most extreme manifestation of that stream of ideology. >> yeah. Very pro-Palestinian, a lot of anti-Zionist kind of stuff. But on that on that show >> by the way, a self-hating Jew. >> Yeah, I was I was going to mention that. He on the show he called himself that and then the siren for Memorial Day in Israel goes off during the show and when the siren goes off you stand in silence in memory of those who have fallen in Israel. He refused to stand. Out of all the three the the four panelists, the other three are standing in silence and Piers Morgan is respecting that moment. Gideon Levy sits, and he even goes on to talk about, well, if the siren I think he said something like, if the siren is not to remember the Palestinians who've also been killed, then I'm not going to stand >> actually said was, his official line was, "Oh, that's silly. In In Israel, it's only the morning siren that you stand up for, and not the night siren," which is total nonsense. But, what if you really understand from being within the nation and looking at him, it's what he didn't like was we as Jews are now about to do something different than Piers Morgan. He didn't want to be different than Piers Morgan. He wants to be accepted as a a citizen of the world and of the posh atheist cosmopolitan Europeans. He wants them to love him. And so, if he's he's going to stand and be different with these antiquated tribalistic Jews that are doing something that only Jews do, no, no, no. He's with Piers Morgan. He's not with them. That's what it's about. That's the psychology. >> But, what was interesting to me about that and struck me just now is Gideon Levy is like an an old guy. Like, he even looked like very tired and kind of like mumble like he is an old generation Israeli, right? And he's the one in Israel still like kind of like with his little with this bullhorn still touting the the the I'm a self-hating Jew pro-Palestinian this and but the young people of Israel are they like they don't care anymore. And in America, un- unfortunately, like you have a lot of the opposite. It's It's very much the older generation that's still hanging on, that's still holding on to, you know, the the old school maybe not old school, but like traditional Christianity that has supported Israel since the founding of the state of Israel in 1948. Um, you know, roots of their Bible, that kind of thing. And they're still like those are the ones that you still see on the media and on TV uh and things. And the young people are kind of like even even Bible-believing young people and people of their faith, they're still they're very much like, "I don't know about that Israel thing. I hear a lot of propaganda and I just I'm not sure how well they're treating Christians in Israel and I don't know. You know, like sure Israel's okay, but I don't really want to like speak up for him or stand up for him cuz I just hear so much, right?" And it's sad and I think it's a warning for those who are in America like wake up and teach your children. I remember at our first Israel summit, the first and only Israel summit, I think it was Yishai said, "When someone I think someone from the audience asked like what is your recommendation? What would you say to us?" He said, he literally said, "Read your kids the Bible. Read and teach your children the Bible. That's the only way to to save this generation, basically." Well, they Israel has been saved because of October 7th. Like the last two and a half years have transformed the country in such a profound way. I mean, when Gideon Levy's generation, when they founded this new state of Israel, they said, "This is the last generation of the Jews and the first generation of the Israeli." And they were trying to make a break between the ancient people of Israel and this modern new thing. They didn't want anything to do with Judaism. He's a self-hating Jew cuz he didn't want to be a Jew. He wanted to be an Israeli. And so now when Israel was attacked, the only way that we were able to muster up the strength to deal with two and a half years of war, being attacked on seven different fronts, being attacked by the world, the international community, it forced everyone in Israel in the next generation to be like, "Why is the whole world against us? Why are we being attacked?" That was the most peaceful people in the in the envelope around Gaza. And they were the ones that were attacked? Why? Oh, it's because we're Jews. Well, what does that mean? And it forced them to go inside and rediscover something deeper. Now, outside of America outside of Israel, life in America, it's pretty simple for the video the the the woke next generation. They haven't really met that challenge. So, they're going to have to proactively find it by learning the Bible. But, I think that very soon the whole world is going to be shaking. And everyone's going to have to go deep inside to figure out where they going, where they from, what what um um side do they choose. Right. You know, there's a a verse I saw in Judges that when I read it, for some reason it affected me so deeply and it even comforted me on some level. Judges chapter 3, "These are the nations that Hashem left to test Israel only so that the generations of Israel would know to teach them war." Meaning we need to be we need to have that those nations there that when we start to lose our way, when we start to lose our compass, when we start to lose our deepest why, when we become soft and complacent and and um what's that word where you feel like everything's entitled, then God sends them against us so we fight war. And you asked why the younger generation? Because their friends are dying, they're on the front lines in Gaza and Lebanon, they see the truth of the evil that that we're facing and the truth of the righteousness that's in their own mission in their own hearts and the those around the world don't have to do that. >> Yeah. You know, so there that's that's another dimension to it. I have a big question cuz as as was kind of mentioned earlier, what happens at the elections in Israel in October with this dynamic of young people that is what is there some like million new voters this year? Like it's it's a big big number of young voters that are going to be voting and with that 75% that is overwhelmingly conservative right wing, do you guys have any and here's the other thing I I I just know for example myself not even super super young anymore but like on the on the not the not a first time voter for sure. Um I've never been a part of a poll. I don't and I what I saw is this young people aren't part of polls and so the polls could be extremely misleading when it comes to this young new reality that's facing Israel. So I want to hear from you guys as Israelis, what do you think is going to happen? >> uh can I just preface it to you cuz news broke in the last week in Israeli politics. Number one, elections are I think called for this October. But Naftali Bennett has now Mhm. joined with Yair Lapid who's a very liberal left-wing politician in the Knesset to form a block. They're a block. I was going to say the Hebrew word Beyahad cuz that's what they're calling it. Which is like together. And to run against Netanyahu. And and Naftali Bennett is is slated to be the prime minister if they win, which is kind of funny because he's historically has had a very small party. Well, not only did he have a small party, but he ran on the platform with his like three or five seats that I am never ever going to partner and bring in these jihadi Arab parties in Israel to be part of my coalition. And then he did exactly that. >> that. He said I'm never going to run with Yair Lapid ever. I'm a right-wing. And then he did exactly that. But I found myself disappointed somewhat when the elections are coming up and we're seeing and it's like the same names, the same faces. I'm like have we not changed? Has nothing changed? It's the same old cast of characters. It's just demoralizing that anyone would vote for them is also demoralizing. And then this happened. What you just said Luke. There's this Naftali Bennett who's considered sort of center but right. >> No, his party was called Yamina, which means the right-wing party. And he's now aligned himself with someone so left-wing that he didn't even join the coalition in the middle of a war of October 7th. He was >> different is that the last time that they came together, it was considered great before October 7th. Now, they're united polls all of the polls show that them united went down for both of them. Why? Because it just revealed the truth that Bennett didn't realize the nation has moved on and they still think of him for some reason as sort of center-right or right-wing. And now he's with Lapid so he's not really right. So forget it. >> I don't know. There's a lot of polls. There's some polls that are saying this. >> Show me one poll that says that they went up together. One. Oh, well, I I saw the Jerusalem Post said that they went down by one one uh I haven't seen one poll that says that historically this has been a very divided thing. When block when parties come together form a block, there's been a few times it's worked really well for them and gotten them more seats, but then there's a bunch of times where it's like done the opposite and kind of nullified the whole thing and they end up with less seats. I read an article that if Netanyahu wins these elections and he serves the full term, he will be the longest serving democratically elected leader in world history. That's right. >> [laughter] >> Which is High probability. >> It's really amazing cuz there I there is like an idea that's sort of floating around that Netanyahu is going to hand the keys over to Messiah. No, that's a big idea. He is the last leader of Israel that's going to be elected in this democratic parliament that's doing that and it's amazing that he's going to be the longest serving democratically elected >> hope he hands the keys over more gracefully than Saul did to David. >> [laughter] >> I knew a Christian pastor who actually prophesied that thing, but that I think there's also that BB would be the last leader before the Messiah that that serves the nation of Israel. But is there Jewish prophecy about this as well? >> I don't know there's prophecy about BB Netanyahu, but he's been the leader for so long that the next one that comes after him I think is really going to shake things up cuz I don't think it will come from within the system. It'll be something that's totally out of nowhere. >> I Something in me just keeps waiting to see something totally new. Not not necessarily I mean everything in Israel seems to be prophetic. >> other guy in running in politics that's like really popular now? Eisenkot or something? Who who is he? I don't even know anything about him. Is he Is he right wing left wing like He's sort of like middle of the road. That's how he's kind of like attracted the kind of but I mean center of the road in Israel means you're left wing. That's right. That's right. >> Right. So it's confusing. >> And he's not new. He's been in the system for a long time. So he's not the new thing that we're all talking about. >> that when Jacob was on his deathbed and he was blessing the different tribes, he said when it came to Dan, "For your redemption I have yearned Hashem." And why? Because they say that he envisioned the future and come from Dan would be Samson. And Samson, he thought until he saw in the dream that Samson died, he thought that Samson was actually the Messiah. Why? Because think about it, 3,000 men from the tribe of Judah took Samson and when Samson said, "You're going to give me over?" They said, "But the Philistines are ruling over us. We have to give you over." From the tribe of Judah, they had already let the subjugation infuse their brains so much that they couldn't imagine redeeming themselves and liberating themselves. They were so subjugated. And so that's where I think we're at right now in Israel. We're within such a stranglehold conceptually that we can't allow ourselves to break through and I think that that's what that Messiah figure is going to do. You like you said, something totally new. He's going to come in with totally new ideas and totally new prism through which he sees everything and it will liberate the country with him. And the world. We'll see. Keep your eyes peeled, folks. It'll be interesting. Uh elect One thing about elections and and politics in Israel is nothing's ever certain. Um so you never know when elections are going to be called. You never know Like basically prime ministers in Knesset hardly ever serve a full term. Um and it's just politics here are very wild and I'm I still don't fully understand it. Um so One other story that Josh referenced earlier, but that is the I think it's the largest flotilla that's ever tried to reach Gaza now. And uh it's they're saying 58 ships or vessels. They're not ships. They're like fishing boats. >> Is this compared to like the Iranian navy right now? You see this? But instead of Israel letting them That's a funny story. >> Yeah, I saw a picture of the Iranian navy doing a joint exercise with China and Did you see this? Russia? [laughter] It's this little boat with like eight guys in it. It was like a like a like a rubber boat, [laughter] you know? Um instead of Israel intercepting them like off the coast of Israel, they decided to intercept them off the island of Crete, which is part of Greece, um hundreds of nautical miles from Israel. And uh an Israeli Navy officer could is quoted calling on the activist to and saying quote if you wish to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, you may do so through established and recognized channels. And then Israel's defense minister Israel Katz says that the flotilla is in violation of UN resolution 2803, whatever that is, but that basically saying aid to Gaza have to go through the accepted official channels. Ironically, these boats are not actually bringing like it's it's a political stunt which obviously you guys know that already. It's a PR stunt and that that's just an opportunity for them to sing and shout free free Palestine and get on social media. And the only thing that I saw in the news that's been found by Israel so far and this was published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last night footage of items found aboard the ships which organizers who claim were carrying aid supplies for Gaza and it was condoms and drugs. So some great aid for Gaza. Can I just bring up a stupid point? UN The people that are breaking the law according to the the defense minister of Israel, they're literally breaking UN law. It's in violation whatever that means. But the UN states and they've worked together with Israel in this one way to bring in an accepted official channel. This is how you bring the the aid into Gaza and this has been a huge topic. The people that break that and try to bring in the aid through a different route, it's it's it's against the UN's resolution obviously to deal with this. Do they get a letter like this? I mean of course the the flotilla would never get a letter from the UN. They're doing the UN's bidding in the seas right now and they will not get a letter They're this. But us that are actually uh talk about peacefully helping farmers and building up the land of the promised land as it as as envisioned by the prophets of Israel. Um we get a letter from the UN saying what are you doing? Well, I'll tell you something that's even more frustrating for me is that the the UN is obviously an enemy of Israel. Obviously. I mean, they're attacking you. They're attacking us for supporting Judea and Samaria and the farmers. It's unbelievable. And at the same time, the defense minister is quoting UN resolution 2402 saying this is the reason you shouldn't do it. So, why is Israel giving any legitimacy to an organization that's entire founding is only to undermine us? It's unbelievable that's the lack of leadership that Israel has right now. Thank God, there's elections. I guess there's just we sort of like better leaders to choose from. You know what's fascinating with the same argument is and and we had a team talk about this the other day. You cannot give the UN one iota of recognition for their ability in the world to lead anything cuz many people in the go back to 1948 and they say, "Well, Israel was founded because of the UN, you know, resolution blah blah blah." And that's how Israel became a nation. Well, if we give the UN the authority and the recognition of being able to decide that Israel was a state, well, that same entity can be the ones to decide Israel's no longer a state. And so, I think it's exactly your point. Um this is an irrelevant uh group of people that obviously have a very backward way of looking at at the world and and are totally not helping anyone. Or also just a real way of looking at the world, right? If they're the United Nations, there's 23 Arab states, 57 Muslim states, and one tiny Jewish state. Obviously, if they're going to not look at what is truthful and moral and right, but they just look at realpolitik and numbers, of course they're going to be anti-Israel. Right? >> a real spiritual battle with the UN. Because what are they saying? They're saying the UN, they can define international law. We have the International Criminal Court. We are the international body and what we say goes. And it's like, well, who are these men and women that decide what the law is? They're saying that they're God. That they said that what we decide goes. They want to be the rulers over this world. And Israel's existence in the promised land is a direct finger in their eye. Saying that as long as the Jewish people are in the land of Israel, we are a living testimony that the Bible is true and that God runs the world and not you. >> Yeah. You know, there's something else behind the scenes going here. And uh the Wall Street Journal just posted this and I see the ICC and I see the UN and all these people is just a puppets of something else that's that's a lot of money. And it was just exposed by the Wall Street Journal that the ICC and the whole arresting of the of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel and all these different characters >> yeah. The arrest warrants someone out. Did Did you guys notice this? The boost paid Paid for. Well, that guy Qatar. Possibly paying off the the prosecutor, Karim Khan. Like paying him off to issue arrest warrants against Netanyahu and the former Israeli Defense Minister. So, to me this is just insane. And the and the UN is the same stuff. It's got all these agencies just just, you know, 5 mi from us is a UN headquarters to serve the refugees, the Palestinian refugees. Do you know that that's where most of the terrorism comes from? And the and the former in the back in the when the the massive uprisings here in Judea and Samaria back in 2000 and the and the early intifadas, they [snorts] came out of those hubs, those UN hubs. And somehow they've been able to the UN and its and its, you know, magnitude of of ability, they were able to perpetuate the status of the refugees here in this area for now three generations. I don't think that's ever been done before. I mean, there's not kind of It's [laughter] kind of historical to say it anyway. Perpetuating the status of refugees around the world. That should be like their headline. >> Yeah, King Solomon says there's nothing new under the sun. I don't know, it feels like the times we're in are breaking some breaking some boundaries. That's right. Mercy. Guys, we'll get back to the podcast in a second, but I want to tell you about our quarter two Q2 product. We have one new product every quarter this year coming out and they're limited very limited edition. Genesis 17 says that God promised the land and to the people of Israel as an everlasting possession. Amos 9 declares that Israel will never be again be uprooted in their land after they're replanted here.

Click the link in the description below to get your shirt today and showcase your support for the land and people of Israel. Back to the podcast. All right. So, before we say goodbye, I just want to give like one idea because that's really what this war is about. It's a war against the United Nations that want to say that they are the leaders of the world. They're the final authority. And then we know that God is the final authority. And then happens in this week's parsha is that we're actually given over that command for the first time. In parsha Emor in Leviticus chapter 22, it says, "Do not profane my holy name that I may sanctify be sanctified in the midst of the Israelites." Now, in English, I don't exactly know what those words mean. Don't profane my name, sanctify my like what does that mean? But in Hebrew, when you profane something, it's called a hillul Hashem. And what does the word hillul mean? It comes from the word halal, which means empty. And it says, "When you empty God from the world, it's as if he doesn't exist. And the weaker Israel is, then it's the world can say, 'We're the final authority. We can send you that letter. We can tell you what to do. We are the definers of the law.' And what is a kiddush Hashem? Kiddush literally means invitation. We're inviting God into the world. The stronger that Israel is, it's a sanctification of God's name because we bring his presence into the world. And so, the battle that's happening right now is exactly that. Who is the ruler of the world? Who is the king of kings? Is it the United Nations? Are the people that are paying off with Qatari and money? Are they the ones that are going to decide the fate of the world? Or is there a power that's even above the king, the king of kings? And so, that's what this parsha really like like the heart of it is saying, "Israel is here to be a sanctification of God's name, to invite his presence into the world, to magnify his name, and to spread like our sovereignty in the land is what is the expression of God's sovereignty in the world." Amazing. You know what? This is what this show is really all about is to bring a little bit of well, of course, some some great nuggets from Jewish rabbis from Judea to a world that is all the time being just thrown at constantly negativity about Israel so much in the media. We've just gone through here. We've hopefully we've brought you some things that you can be like, "Wait, well, they're not barring children from schools. and and what's this stupid stuff happening out in the seas of Israel? Look what Israel's dealing with and hopefully we've brought a two spies report and not a 10 spies report of the land of Israel today. And and you know I just want to encourage all of you in these days when the mass media is is is downing and and really discouraging the heart trying to discourage people to connect to Israel. Don't listen to it. Go with what's actually happening and and we're so grateful that you're listening to us here because this is really our our job. We're we're here boots on the ground of Israel and we want to bring the positive report of what's actually happening here in the land of Israel. So we want to thank you guys for being a part of this story. We want to thank you for standing with us against um Can you say rogue organizations? Is that too crazy to say?
