Shalom everybody and welcome to the show
Fletcher show broadcasting live from
Hong Kong airports that's right here on
the land of Israel network I am in the
airport of Hong Kong got to fly in
tonight and see a kind of partly cloudy
very lit up city and it's an exotic and
beautiful city and I got to see if kind
of at nighttime it was an awesome
feeling and I love my land I love my
home and my whole life is Israel but you
got to just give credit to great places
you got a love great places because
they're all so godly they're also part
of an amazing world that God created a
beautiful globe and we have to bless
things along the way bless things that's
just that's just something reflexive
that I want to look kind of everybody's
got to get into that mode you see a
beautiful city you blessed you see a
very wealthy person you bless so you see
a shul outside of the Land of Israel
blessed you you know blessed people in
general send that general atmosphere of
blessings around to the world and as
Jews and as lovers of Israel that is our
job to be the Blessed earth any case I'm
on route home to the Land of Israel from
Australia another beautiful place in
this world and it was awesome awesome
trip I met so many fabulous people and I
want to thank all of the listeners and
new friends that I've met many many Jews
many non-jews as well who are part of
the story and it was just a rocking trip
and I got to think first and foremost
dr. David Adler and his wife Haley who
have found that an organization along
with also great folks that are part of
their team called the Australian Jewish
Association which is all about bringing
conservative values and Torah values
into the political mainstream of
Australia and actually that's something
very lacking so when you're in Australia
you're looking a great in a great
country it's a very aesthetic country
but politically it really tends left
right now there is a kind of
center-right government in place
what's called the Liberal government but
even they
often times kind of slide left for
example they were amongst the states
that were invited to the American
inauguration of the u.s. embassy which
by the way I watched live live live at
night in Sydney and I watched it was on
my Facebook page as well I put it up and
it was from the embassy Facebook page it
was incredible I've never seen such a
such a such an event with so many
blessings which said that there was
three chef's pianos beautiful verse that
Prime Minister Netanyahu read about
Jerusalem being called the city of truth
in the end it was it was incredible and
I was like pained while i loving my time
in australia pain that I wasn't in
Jerusalem with all of the people that I
know and celebrating this thing
sadly Australia also was amongst as I
was saying before was amongst the few
countries known amongst the not amongst
a few countries that accepted America's
invitation to the inauguration but it
was one of the other countries that
boycotted the event and that was very
disappointing and I realized that we
really have a project here which is to
get the Australian Embassy and all the
other embassies to move to huge till I'm
and that became one of the things that I
started talking about in Australia and
I'm excited to have that kind of you
know push a political push and for all
the new folks that I met to really get
something done in the next few years
which is to move that embassy at the
same time really that's not exactly the
direction that Australia going as much
as I have come to understand which is it
really leans more center-left and that's
too bad and you got to wonder why
boycott why boycott the United States
inauguration of the embassy do you
really believe Australia that Jerusalem
is not the capital of Israel do you
really think that some solution will be
brought out better because you don't
recognize your Aslam as the capital of
Israel isn't it true that Jerusalem is
the capital of Israel what about Western
Jerusalem can't you just accept that in
any case that is to me that was one of
the issues that was a little bit
disappointing but also I was happy that
I was were able to we were able to and
along with the aja and all the good new
friends
spot an opportunity a political push
that can be done in the next few years I
met a lot of people I met young people
and old people I met people were making
alia who one hear more information and
then people want to connect better to
Eretz Israel and you're gonna hear a
talk in just a minute that I gave at the
North Shore synagogue in Sydney and I
recorded that talk I gave a lot of talks
I gave up like 15 talks and media
interviews and all kinds of stuff like
that but I recorded one talk and you're
gonna hear it now and I think it's gonna
be useful for you and you also hear the
fun the energy that I tried to bring and
I want to just dedicate today's show to
to Shimon Ben Haim Simon a benefit or
Shimon Ben Haim who is the father of a
listener and a friend that I connected
with in Australia and that's Pauline at
Hope at okay pop Pauline she was in one
of my events she also gave a donation it
was very helpful and in general just
like she was came up to me and it's like
one of these people that's out there
somewhere in the world and when you fly
around the world you connect with them
so Pauline thank you so much in today's
show and all that we're gonna hear is
dedicated to the memory of Shimon van
Fame who died on New Delhi Tammuz in the
year 1985 and he was born in 1918 in in
Poland and new Belarus and now now
Belarus that area so that's that's
that's the dedication of the show and
you're gonna hear kind of the energy
that I that I had the big sowed the big
honor to bring and really to celebrate
to celebrate your shall I'm to celebrate
their own and to celebrate our strength
and to give people answers people need
answers people need new settings they
need to understand how to deal with
problems the questions that that our
time is throwing out to us challenges
about how to say things right how to
think about things right and I hope I
hope that I had a little opportunity to
do that and here we go on the Land of
Israel Network on the East I Fletcher
show thank you so much for being with me
here at Hong Kong Airport it's so fun to
record - and here was that fun talk that
we did in
Sydney another beautiful city and you're
beautiful wherever you are so here we go
I suffer from a very painful disease
that disease is called FOMO okay do you
know what Bo noise you guys know about
it in Israel they always know I suffer
from fear of missing out it's a true
thing that bothers me and I've been and
how do you how do you overcome fear of
missing out how do you overcome it by
telling yourself God knows where I need
to be and it's no big deal right and and
you're exactly where you need to be and
I believe that in here but sometimes the
old photo still gets you in here and I
have to tell you that my whatsapp is is
ringing off the hook the you know and
it's saying hey shy where the heck are
you okay everybody's in Jerusalem and
all these parties and political parties
and I'm supposed to be there and and I'm
in Sydney okay
now at the same time though I do believe
that God knows where I'm supposed to be
and I have met fabulous people in this
fabulous country okay and I'm really
really glad to be with you but you have
to help me feel like tonight is like we
are in a magical super gathering of
super people and I'm going to tell my
Jerusalem friends yeah okay yeah you are
the you know and I know it's a big deal
it was in Sydney and what we were doing
was like a nuclear explosion of
consciousness and and change and so
that's that's the way we got to do it
all right tonight can you do that for me
thank you toda raba
thank you very much yes I appreciate
that I appreciate that but I also want
but but happiness is not enough I want
to feel like nuclear change like we're
gonna do amazing unbelievable
consciousness so everybody's got to
commit to me that like if you do agree
and get a line in anyway and get excited
we're gonna spread that message out okay
that's what I mean by nuclear it could
go boom out there alright and of course
we have with us
senator brian Burstyn from one nation
and Rosalyn thank you very much and so
I'm counting on you to go nuclear
okay and I don't mean that in the
literal sense I mean
and the figures have sense and and I
hope that we get empowered tonight
together to make a change and we also
have a rabbi Paul Lewin with us where's
the rabbi there is also the also
tonight's photographer and a rabbi Paul
thank you so much for having us in
beautiful North Shore here of beautiful
Sydney today I brother why do I say
beautiful time because I had some free
time which was very rare David Adler of
the aja runs be pretty ragged thank God
he's got the truth is is not ragged he's
got me to do what I want to do which is
work and to speak to people and he's
doing a fabulous job and so many issues
I sometimes want to say to nip too many
issues but he has really heated up on
all these issues and he's gonna follow
through on all of them and I do urge you
to support him because he's gonna
support you support your ideas but today
I had a day off with a Leah a little bit
and and with with David
Haley's brother and we got the chance to
get on the ferry from Rose Bay all the
way to a circular key come on that's
that that is beautiful stuff right and
and it is really a very beautiful
country and we'll talk in just a second
about making it even more beautiful okay
but before we do let us let me take out
my bag of tricks to you let's see what
we got here well rabbi first thing thank
you so much for having us in your
beautiful shul I brought you a
commemorative 70th year flag you see
it's the co Mutz matzo mass you see it
says how much Smuts to match there it is
it's a the commemorative flag is issued
I'll come over to you here you go good
let's see but what about this wonderful
audience how about a 70th year
marshmallow pack okay they're kosher a
senator please don't hog them okay keep
passing them around
that would be wonderful all right all
right oh yeah here we go right actually
for the senator I have something very
important because this is today is
actually a dual holiday today's a dual
holiday one holiday we've already talked
about and that is the the holiday that
that that that the world is starting to
turn that recognition is of Jerusalem is
happening so it's really the next day of
Jerusalem dangerous one day was
yesterday but at the same time you might
not know this
it is also pepper on day C 1967
Jerusalem was reunited on the 28th of ER
which was yesterday
and the 29th of er a rabbi the chief
rabbi of the army rabbi Goren drove in
to heparin with his Jeep thought that
the army was already there the army was
not there yet and yet the town of Hebron
and the Arabs there were waving the
white flag and he came to the important
site of Heffron which is the tombs of
the fathers and mothers the founders
Abraham's tomb and Sarah's tomb isn't
have Ron and and the place had been
locked away for Jews for seven hundred
years from the year twelve sixty seven
the Muslims took over and the mom looks
took over and they stopped Jews and
Christians from going into the building
for 700 years 1267 to 1967 1967 rabbi
Goren comes in and he liberates heparin
he actually has to take out his pistol
to shoot the lock open so you imagine
this rabbi this long white bearded rabbi
taking out his service revolver and
shooting the door open like you know
western style right so that's what
happened so today we celebrate the Rena
fication of our people hood with our
with our Parenthood and that's very
meaningful now those parents are our the
Jewish the Jewish people amongst us
that's our family members but for the
non-jews amongst us that's our spiritual
forefathers and mothers for all of us
Abraham Abraham and if you heard
speaking of America if you heard the
speech that the Vice President of the
United States gave at the Knesset well
who did he talk about Abraham so that's
that's our joint heritage so this is a
little bit
little memento for you from the tombs of
the fathers and mothers in Heffron in
case the Star of David thank you very
much and let us keep up the fight and be
strong maybe there's some more little
things in there for you guys we'll see
at the end the continuation of the talk
there's a little creek here I'm just
gonna move this chair all right okay so
so so I just want to get to one point
and then we'll go on to the rest of the
things Australia is quite a beautiful
place as I've said I've also been to
Perth and to Melbourne and it's all it's
all amazing but today there was
something that was a tad not so
beautiful I've been inspired generally
on the trip but really I could see that
this country has a lot of incredible
potential and beauty and and very good
people everywhere you go and good humour
but I was a tad disappointed today about
what we heard that that this country's
official representation is not joining
the the American yes the what are we
going to call it the establishment of
the of the count of the embassy in
Jerusalem a little bit disappointing by
the way Australia was not the only other
not the only country absent other good
countries were absent but there were
countries set saw through it including
for example the Czech Republic who said
yes I'm going to stand with American
with Israel I think the question is are
you going to stand with Israel as an
obvious question but then also like who
are you standing with when you stand
against America that's another question
like what are you what are you thinking
exactly like who exactly do you want to
be with or who do you want to be like
there's a moment here here's a moment
where where President Trump is doing
something I have likened him a little
bit to like a child
the famous quintessential child of the
emperor has no clothes right there are
lies in this world that we have all
grown accustomed to that we know that
the United Nations is an organization
which is anti-israel certainly but
really anti many good things and yet we
are like okay and all of our countries
contribute a lot of money to this
organization right millions we know that
the Palestinian Authority supports tear
how do we know that because it's a
line-item
their budgets it says support terrorist
families 400 million dollars a year we
know that
and yet we contribute from this country
all together to the Palestinian cause
about sixty million dollars a year we
know these things if these I'm not
saying something that you don't know we
all know them more or less and yet we
kind of we do this we go we read the
paper go yeah one will they learn and
then we go to the next page suddenly
comes a President of the United States
which says you know enough this is not
the way it should be I don't want to pay
money for that I don't I don't think
that the Iranian deal was a good deal I
don't think that Jerusalem is not the
capital of Israel and I want to ask the
the Australian government like so
Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel
is that what you're saying
it's not our capital Tel Aviv well from
from the onset of the State of Israel
Jerusalem has been the capital and from
the last 3,000 years we called Jerusalem
DC David's capital right right that's
it's simple and you know you say
absolutely you know what because what I
said now was simple and that's what
President Trump said he said I'm just
acknowledging the obvious and America we
say duh okay it's like duh it's like
it's not it's not it's not so complex
and then to officially stand against
that that recognition too bad too bad
and but but so are we gonna go like this
here here should we do this at the end
of this talk no should we do we nod our
head and is that we're gonna go nuclear
exactly we are gonna instead of being
like no no because tonight this is
double holiday celebration with
marshmallows sand cake there's birthday
cake in the back there instead we're
going to make a resolution a resolution
in our hearts that a year from now
Australia is going to announce that it's
moving its embassy to Jerusalem
[Applause]
and I believe that it is absolutely
possible because it's just acknowledging
the obvious there are many many good
people in Australia there's no way that
and America has done it what you know
the dominoes are falling so let's help
this domino and if my trip even even
miniscule II pushed that Domino to fall
then then it was worth it and there's no
FOMO it was worth it to be here with you
tonight okay great
that was the issue of Australia yes Dave
or Trump announced American Embassy
moving Jerusalem a petition was tabled
in the Australian Parliament for the
Australian Embassy to to be media to
Jerusalem unfortunately it was at a very
difficult time in our government we were
going from same-sex marriage rights so
there were few people there but it has
been taken has been you know we say
about that we say no worries right
that's all we say around here we need to
say I mean to say the American Embassy
move didn't just happen because Trump
woke up and felt good about it that's
not what happened we helped push a law
in the American Congress and Senate and
signed by the President of the United
States in 1995 95 the Jerusalem embassy
act okay and it was passed by two houses
of Congress and a president signature
and then waved every six months for many
presidents okay and we put pressure and
pressure and pressure and then finally
and then we had Obama for eight years
and then suddenly suddenly something
different happened but it all came
together when President Trump made the
decision to move the embassy to
Jerusalem he had an American law right
behind them he didn't have to make a
huge thing all he had to do was to stop
obstructing the will of the American
people
okay so there was a deep and long
build-up to this moment and yes there
was miraculous things like ambassador
Friedman and there are definitely things
that came in you know very beautifully
at this moment still though the moment
was prepared and ready so too you know
okay
that that means that that's a tremor
what you just told me is yes there's an
interest tremor number one shook it
that's just tremor number one well we'll
shake the cat loose you know I mean
it'll it'll happen I just made up a
parable there's no such thing to shake
the cat loose but I made that up but you
know what I meant right you knew what I
meant okay I made that up all right good
let's talk a little bit about about
media today David asked me to talk a
little bit about media I'm gonna give
you okay I'm gonna tell you exactly what
we're gonna talk about I'm gonna talk
about three stories that I had myself
with media and this will teach us a
little bit how to talk and think about
the issues that Israel faces and Israel
Australia faces and then we'll talk
about five alternatives to two-state
solution right we got a deal you know
exactly what's happening okay and then
everybody's got to stick around for Meir
for the evening prayer mind you let's
talk about three media stories
Christiane Amanpour do you remember her
Christiane Amanpour smart lady guys
smart lady
I know she was in my house okay she was
in my house she walked into my house I
remember I mean this lady sharp she's
not a journalist
she's a narrative combatant she's a
narrative warrior she has a point of
view that she wants to get across and
she'll do it through you you will be her
victim or her a subject but she will
draw around you what she wants to draw
she is and what I call a narrative
warrior she walks into my house and her
eyes sharp like a shark she just sharp
she looks around my house and she
catches immediately that there was a a
knitting a crochet type but but a
painting a picture that was knitted and
it shows Abraham about to sacrifice
Isaac on the Temple Mount and this was
on the Mount of Olives right across from
the Temple Mount so she says to me you
know what is that do you know do you
believe that that happened here and she
wanted to already start with me kind of
to show that I was extreme and violent
and and you know and the the biblical
narrative was in my head and she kept
asking me do you heal the voice of God
you hit it right in your head she was
trying very much to pin me into a you
know a person who is willing to be
violent because I hear the voice of
I said to her you know the painting is
very important because it's the painting
of the story of Abraham which happened
right there but more important is who
made this picture who made it my grandma
who's an Auschwitz survivor she sewed
that thing this is a story that we've
been telling from generation to
generation and we and and she got out of
Auschwitz to tell the story about this
place got her okay
that was first then she comes out to me
with to the porch she comes out to the
porch and she says to me she sees I had
a big Israeli flag for that man and the
wind over Eastern Jerusalem so she says
to me mister flashes did the two blue
lines represent from the river to the
sea that you will control this land what
did she want me to go with that she
wanted me to be this big because for the
left nationalism is national socialism
net like wanting to have your own
country to defend your own people and to
and to be a patriot right is equal to
having an insatiable thirst to conquer
other nations that's that they want to
equate that every time you say to them
what I mean I'm a nationalist to say all
nationalist you're a Nazi or fascist how
did you add those things up that that's
not a logical progression off so she
says is the two lines representing from
the river the the the freight ease all
the way to the Nile that's what she was
saying and the Star of David in the
middle I said to her you know Christian
what I heard
I said that's very interesting but you
know what I heard I heard that it really
what it represents is the splitting of
the Red Sea and the Jewish people the
Star of David is coming out of slavery
into freedom it's really about liberal
values it's really about freedom for all
mankind
and it represents getting out of bondage
and into into into Liberty got her again
right
I was having a good day I was having a
good day I was having a good thing then
she says to me my wife by the way
captured it all on video my wife said to
me why why because you'll see at the end
what so so then she now that that was
all warm-up stuff you know that was all
part of the chorus no big deal she just
was sizing me up I guess she says to me
we're standing out on on my beautiful
porch on the Mount of Olives overlooking
the template the temple mount Mount Zion
the Temple Mount in the Mount of Olives
yes that's Jerusalem okay and the
Harbour Bridge and you got Sydney's
gotta have it's it's got hits things you
know Jerusalem can of everything but it
has its things and she's standing with
me on on that porch and she says to me
and oh now there are Arab houses around
me because I lived at the time in a
Jewish neighborhood within a broader
Arab neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem
right okay because we're the type of
Jews that say that we have every right
to this land we're gonna hold onto it so
she says to me mr. Fleischer don't you
know you're living in occupied land and
I said to her Christian how could you
say such a thing how could you say that
don't you see right there the Mount of
Olives do you see all those tombs there
that's 3000 years of Jewish burial do
you honestly want to tell me that I
don't have a right to live in my
people's ancestral burial grounds now
what happened in that moment I went as
left as possible I went indigenous on
her okay
I went American Indian on her I went
Aboriginal on her I talked about
ancestral burial grounds you cannot go
you cannot go around me left on that
that's yeah I went all the way left on
her that's it you cannot go more left in
that I said ancestral bear Allah grants
and I linked up that we are an
indigenous people which by the way
there's all these things that I'm saying
or not tricks they're all true every
single one was true
we're an indigenous people this idea
that were some kind of Conqueror and
some kind of occupier that is that is
their narrative that she wants to weave
it's not true
we're an indigenous people there and and
that's exactly what this mountain of
history
so clearly illustrated and her I saw it
well Christian was like a great boxer
you know it was knocked back for a
second but got right back on her feet
and she says to me yes but you are an
obstacle to peace are you not meaning to
say okay forget the fact that you do
have rights to this land maybe I have to
concede that at this moment but you are
an obstacle to peace I mean you can say
even if now we've somehow lost the
establishment of the idea that you're a
thief but you shouldn't be here for the
sake of peace should give up this land
that maybe even yours
I said Oh Christian what what exactly do
you propose do you propose that we take
this beautiful city Jerusalem and put a
wall down the middle establish it as
somebody else's capital as well and then
separate out the city by ethnicities is
that your vision of progress is that
progressive your vision to separate out
by ethnicities this is the city and to
create two capitals on it sounds a
little bit like Berlin okay it sounds a
little bit like Berlin it surely doesn't
sound progressive it sounds regressive
okay and so that's that's basically I
painted her into a few corners of her
being the liberal her coming with her
Western attitude coming to to rest land
away from the Jewish people to divide
our city you know and she and she's a
foreigner and she has nothing to do with
this place and and and paint repainting
her as this kind of aggressor and this
and she's a colonialist well I'm an
indigenous person in this land I have
every right to needless to say none of
that made it into the big show that she
produced none of that discussion nothing
is as though it never happened and it
was wasted except that my beloved wife
wisely understood that it is very
imperative to videotape this
independence of her taping and it was
very useful for us and you could see it
in and we have the whole video okay so
that was just number one that she's one
of the best okay let me tell you a story
but that's gonna hit a little closer to
home about an Australian journalist okay
this was only two years ago Australian
Australian journalist came now I as you
could probably guess I have a soft a
soft spot for Australia
I know this sounds cliche but I'll say
it anyway because it's true I was I was
raised during the Crocodile Dundee era
okay that happened but moreover if you
don't believe that some people I said
this in Melbourne they made funny but
then they said when you said the next
thing we believed you I also grew up on
MTV exactly in the INXS era okay and
together with also midnight oil whoo I
think we're singing about the Jewish
people's right to return to their
ancestral homeland I believe that that
was the the message there that's how I
understood it anyway so I grew up
truthfully right in that time and then
20 years ago I came here in a visit
whatever night I always you know for a
certain type of person like that that
Australian kind of personality and and
the outback the whole thing was was was
very appealing and I always stayed with
me
so it's also Israelis love Australia do
have you ever noticed that do you know
that do you know that Australia's loved
Australia that's right and they'll love
it I leave in a little bit more when the
embassy moves to Jerusalem that's right
they'll feel good about it they'll feel
good about it okay they'll feel good
about it it'll be a beautiful day it
will be a beautiful day
anyway Australian journalist comes to
town so I had all these sentiments
however it turned out that it wasn't
quite like that Australian journalist
comes to town to have Ron now in hedron
we have a building which is on that star
that I gave you that building is a 2,000
year old building built by King Herod
who was a king in Judea a Jewish king in
Judea and that building is the top of
tombs that are 3,800 years old okay in
art the art world we call it provenance
we have a deep connection what was
another word you used credentials deep
deep connection to this place and we've
been living there practically for 3500
years in the town of Hebron comes
Australian journalist and she says to me
and I can't do a scallion so it sounds
British please forgive me she says to me
same same phrase because that is the
catch or a phrase of our time which is
mr. Fleischer don't you know you're
living in occupied land
and I at that moment a drop of
bitterness entered my heart first I
thought to myself let me get this
straight you're a white Australian right
now your provenance is a bit shaky or
maybe and you're coming out here to
accuse me of being an occupier and a
colonialist when I am the epitome of an
indigenous person look behind me there's
the proof that's my papa and my mama
that are buried there okay and you come
and she isn't coming as a as a
journalist asking me
she was frontally accusing me she was
judge and jury already you know and she
was already gonna pass judgement to the
world no matter what I said no matter
what I would say so she says this to me
at that very moment and a little and I
didn't answer her in a harsh way I gave
her him I said to her how could you say
that look behind me and I didn't give
her a hard time personally I treated her
professionally but at that moment I must
admit that a small drop of dark blood
entered my heart I was saddened I was
saddened because I thought to myself all
the way from Australia this is this
lucky country United mean this lucky
country you're coming out and you're
accusing me and you're falling in line
and this is to me like Australia you're
not part of Europe you're not part of
the anti-semitism of Europe you don't
you don't have a huge Muslim you know a
problem yet and and you you know what
why are you going that way why do you
need you don't have to go that way you
know if you were squashed in between you
know France Spain or something I was you
know but okay
I could I could understand that but but
you don't have to go this way anyway a
little dark a drop of blood injured my
heart I was disappointed that very
moment a colleague of mine his name was
Gennady Kaufman passed right by me and
he saw my face he must have seen that
something was agitated on my face and he
says to me in Russian because he was a
Russian speaker and I'm a Russian
speaker he says to me in Russian he says
do you want I should make you a cup of
coffee that's what he said to me you see
that smile that you got that's exactly
what I thought to myself you didn't say
to me you know let's come back have a
cup of coffee should I make you a cup of
coffee there's a colleague of mine and I
said to him you know
you naughty I can't do it because I'm
with this with this journalist but thank
you and I thought in my heart at that
moment you know Gennady came from the
Ukraine he came to the Lions of Israel
he's living in this you know in here at
our bunch Avro and these are two sister
towns in that in that area and hammer-on
he's a gardener he's making things
beautiful and and he didn't assimilate
out he's part of our people had any
strong he's a big guy I felt good from
my heart I said there's good people in
the world three hours later I was in my
office in in the neighborhood in Hebron
and we heard that somebody had been
stabbed at the tomb of the patriarchs
and matriarchs it came in on the
emergency channels things start beeping
and bleeping everybody's things goes off
and you know and you know that that
something major has happened so we
thought it was a soldier at first that's
the reports the initial reports but it
turned out that it was Gennady yes yes
Gennady was stabbed he was stabbed once
in punctured his heart once in the chest
and once from behind the knee punctured
his liver from behind you this was a big
knife and a bad guy and he got him he
got him good and the Gennady was tough
and he struggled for three weeks for
three weeks he struggled in the hospital
people were praying for him but in the
end he succumbed and he I the it's it's
a little tricky he didn't die he was
murdered we're dealing in delays so
that's what happened - you know in that
story the reason I tell you the story is
because we have always two wars that
we're fighting one war is the war we
know that's the physical effort to
annihilate the Jewish people that's
that's in in in in Melbourne there's a
huge population of survivors of the
Holocaust and the next generation so we
know about them we know about people
trying to just physically annihilate the
Jewish people that's nothing new we've
survived many Wars etc but the new thing
was actually not the second part of the
story it was the first part of the story
what I call the narrative war she this
journalist represented a war that is
trying to undo the rationale of the
Jewish people's the the history of the
Jewish people's connection to land of
Israel you are occupiers and occupiers
means that you're foreigners you're
white people from afar from Europe after
some kind of limited skirmish called the
Holocaust or something you came and you
took over somebody else's land that's
their story and that's a story that that
they have
other people to back them up with suit
and tie wearing Europeans from UNESCO
who later on last year last summer
claimed that the tombs of the fathers
and mothers is a Palestinian heritage
site this is an ongoing narrative effort
this current war in Gaza right now this
current actions and Gaza these fence
actions what are they are they meant to
actually weaken Israel militarily no
they have one purpose only to draw
Israel in to shooting them so that their
cameras and that their narrative machine
can do this blood libel and tell the
world Israel is a human rights violator
I mean Hamas is calling Israel a Human
Rights violator you have to wonder at
the world yet to be like wow that is
amazing you know I mean it's almost like
Syria or Libya heading the Human Rights
Commission who can I possibly believe
that that could happen right it's it's
there's there's an absurdity in this
world an absurdity and then sadly there
are even Jewish people who fall and
mimic and become useful idiots for that
very very line like who who like Natalie
Portman boom here comes a you know a
Jewish person who should should know
better etc and yet she's mimicking this
thing because it's a pernicious lie that
is entered into into the consciousness
stream we have to be very careful with
it let me give you one last story about
this and maybe here within it also lies
some of the cures there are other cures
but we won't be able to talk about
everything tonight the story goes during
the last Gaza war during the last Gaza
war this phone rings it was this phone
and this phone it's time to change it
this phone rings and it says Qatar I'm
thinking who's in Qatar my cousin know
who's living in Qatar oh it's al-jazeera
calling me okay that's the only person
I'm the only the only or guy no in Qatar
anybody I know in Qatar is al Jazeera
and I pick it up hello hello mister
flagship come on
to our show talking about the Gaza war I
said certainly I I would be delighted
except I always make in media and I
teach you this you probably already know
this you're you're an old hand as I say
to them I'm not come
on a panel though you want to be
one-to-one I'm taking that the next 2 to
1 because the moderator is against me
and whoever the other guy's against me
is against me but I'm not coming on a
panel because panel means anti-semitism
anti-semitism anti-semitism try to
respond ok you already it doesn't it
doesn't work yeah yeah
yeah you can't do it I don't I don't do
those shows I did that a few times it
was a miserable failure for me I did
that on RT on Russia today absolutely
impossible I say you want me I'll come
on and I'm doing you a favor because you
want my voice but it's got to be
one-to-one which is that in in fact two
to one
fine so so they're bringing this was
during the last Gaza war not now two
years ago and and and and I was about to
go on and a very famous journalist is a
good friend of mine I asked that to him
hey I don't want to use his name okay so
I set them I'll call him Joe I said hey
Joe what do you recommend I say on
al-jazeera
so he goes tell them we have a moral arm
tell them that we try so hard not to
hurt innocent people we do everything to
reach out and make sure that innocent
people aren't hurt it's not so beautiful
it's so beautiful no it's nice it's a
nice message we don't want to hurt
innocent people it's a beautiful message
yeah except for one thing
when you start giving that Israeli line
they have the video guy ready to show a
kid being pulled out of the rubble so
here's me yeah we're trying really hard
to be a moral army and we try so hard to
moderate and then little kids are gonna
be pulled out of the rubble that's how
that's how the visuals gonna go and
please imagine the dude who is sitting
there with the with the lever to pull up
that video the videos been pre-cut for
when each I Fletcher comes on the show
just you know I'll stand they know I'm
going to say it because that's like the
honey trap they know I want to say that
we're the you know moral army and
they're ready with the video Oh
shave a moral arm he's that right
there's that right uh-huh yeah
well how do you explain okay that you
get the picture so I said to my friend
Joe I said that is the dumbest thing
I've ever heard
my life that is so dumb you Lamar
setting me up your that's a keyboard
yeah you are you're you are holy setting
me into a trap by giving me this advice
because it's what are you gonna do I
said watch this so I get on al-jazeera
and they say to me lo and behold can you
believe it they say to me mr. Fleischer
I'm sorry that everybody sounds the same
to me they also sound the same believe
me and I said I said but they actually
it's funny because the questions do
recreate is it is in fact like that
because they're really all in in a kind
of mental cahoots so so they say to me
mr. Fleischer how is it that two
thousand Palestinians have been killed
and only 70 Israelis there's the moment
the guys grading right the video
graduating cuz this he's gonna say it
he's gonna say he's gonna safe when we
have a moral army we try really hard
right I said that's exactly what happens
when you start with us you shoot rockets
against those we're gonna shoot you ten
times as hard you could have put your
children in front of those rockets you
murdered them don't start with a
post-holocaust Israel don't start with
our little country we have zero
tolerance you shoot one rocket you'll
get ten back that's what happens and
that's why those numbers reflect all
those deaths don't start with Israel
video guys like toy way is that - I plan
yeah then didn't go like planned and
everybody that was there was a palpable
you could see it on TV it's on YouTube
there's a palpable moment where they're
just like we never heard that which is
what that just the honesty just a
clarity of don't mess with us just the
truth and also not this sorry I don't
know is this a proper word in Australian
sissie
okay can you say CC not the total 60
response that is like we're trying
really come on
our army is in morale I'm sorry I have
to have used this in a synagogue or okay
it's okay it's not there's no there's no
arc here we're not a moral army we're a
badass army don't mess with us mr. Rosen
there to please you my army isn't there
to be over your buddy
it's a toothy animal you start with me
I'm gonna release this this machine that
wreaks violence on you
do not start with Israel that's a
message and by the way that's a message
that everybody understands and respects
you tell them moral army or what I'm
bigger I'm better than you cuz I have a
moral army I'm not better than you don't
start with me I'm not trying to say I'm
better than you there's something a lot
of times in the leftist mind that they
also there's a superiority complex I
don't need to be superior I'm not trying
to be better than you in a kind of
haughty way I have a more alarming you
have a new moral army let's say that
don't mess with me is all I'm saying to
you start with me you're gonna get
whacked that's all there is to it
and I don't mean whacked in the Italian
mafia way I mean I think don't start
with me okay any case so wait but but
they're not done yet the video guys
still ready with the with with the film
and he's and he's just waiting just just
he's gonna fall for it a second time
circle back again the circle the wagons
they circle the wagons and within about
10 minutes they circle it back and just
in a slightly different way and they say
it's a long video you could see yourself
they say but Mr Fleischer
how is it how is it that three thousand
Rockets have been lobbed from Gaza and
Israel and only very few have hit their
targets and only seven and only seven
the Israelis are dead they circled back
to that so I said to them here I have to
take off my journalist hat and put on my
rabbi hat its min Allah it is the will
of God okay he sweats away the Rockets
well and how do you explain it is Hamas
are they are can they not aim are they
stupid
it is the will of Allah Allah Wilson's
the video guys like this is not not what
he was supposed to say okay and and and
and and here by the way is also another
little it's not a trick it's another
thing to understand
don't talk Western in the Middle East
don't talk question the Middle East talk
Middle East in the Middle East talk
Allah they like to hear that
I lives with us not with you I tell I
tell them that all the time I tell them
all the time I tell them straight up by
the way I believe it I believe it
I straighter believe it generally by the
way you should know just a general
principle that the Bible tells us don't
lie there are very few reasons why you
just generally I generally very much try
to stick to really as much as possible
to the truth and in this case I do
believe that as well I was with us God
is with us
right I just want to give you just one
more example then we're gonna go to the
five just for one second adding one more
tiny story then we're gonna go to five
solutions quickly okay one more stories
just for you to understand how Arabs and
really I delete that word I meant to say
how Middle Eastern peoples including
Jews how we in the Middle East think and
understand things here's a conversation
that I have with many Arabs have
composited it into one conversation okay
it's happening over and over again and
I've just kind of built an archetypal
conversation for you here's how it goes
I say to the my Muslim friends I said my
Arab friends I say Allah loves you he
loves you he's given you 22 countries
right true or not he's giving you three
hundred and fifty million children they
have three hundred fifty million people
and you have oil coming out of the
ground good
I'll go loves you right he loves you but
he also loves us and this small land is
our land how do I know because it says
so in your Quran in four different
verses it says that the Jewish people
are going to come back to land of Israel
so a little loves you but he has given
us this and how do I know because we've
beaten you we've beaten you in all these
wars and look at our beautiful shiny
city how do you think that it's all
happened is it because we're richer than
you are we bigger than you no it's
because Allah wills it and you are being
a bad Muslim
submit to the will of Allah that's what
I tell and now this conversation if you
can having a good conversation a lot of
times it happens in a cab where nobody
else sees them because no B honestly
because they're very afraid to have
normal conversations around other people
I have many stories about that as well
but he that that air will say to me a
lot of times like this that's how it
goes I'll give him that line and he'll
do a few minutes of think a few moments
of think you'll be like like this stroke
his beard and he'll say yes you are
right but you have left the Sinai you
have left south Lebanon you have left
parts of Gd instead of the West Bank you
have left Gaza you are shrinking Allah
is with us we are patient and we will
beat you in time understand folks I just
explained to you right there and then
and there's a great transition why the
two-state solution is an essential
failure the very discourse of it shoots
us in the foot it's completely anti
Middle Eastern they understand that to
be foolish and weakness weakness which
they don't respect the language of the
Middle East does not Farsi it's not
Arabic and it's not Hebrew it's respect
and here I do mean that in the Mafia
sense respect you got to give me respect
to give you respect you know you don't
respect me you think I'm weak you walk
all over me it's actually pretty simple
if you it's actually the other way the
way of imagining that giving away more
land will cause peace and that's somehow
we can Democrat eyes them and all that
that's actually complex the simple
realization that the Middle East is
about holding on strong and people will
respect you if you if you if you push
back on lies and tell them you're your
red lines that's actually simple
thinking and that's right now let's say
you are let's say Chuck Fletcher is
wrong let's say Oh everything I said
right now is racist homophobic
misogynistic and what else and an L and
Islamophobic let's say I said all these
bad things just now okay so no problem
let's test it that was by the way meant
to be a joke that whole thing okay
just to make sure we understood that so
right we're good okay so so so let's
test it
hey well test it easy enough let's pull
out of sunny night see what happens oh
now we have Isis in the Sinai you know
preparing rockets let's pull out of
south Lebanon Oh two hundred thousand
rockets now aimed at us from from from
Iranian of Hezbollah Shiite militia
let's pull out of Judea and Samaria we
have to west back we have to fight a war
to get back there because terrorists
take over and destroy our holy places
take over land and have a suicide a bus
bombing parade and in Jerusalem and Tel
Aviv and then we give away God said what
happens there it becomes within six
months
hey forward terra base with with with
with tunnelling rocketing endless
endless effort to destroy israel no
two-state solution no peace
so from an empirical point of view
empirical for tested point of view it's
a failure and by the way that's why the
average Israeli is moving away from land
for pieces of formula because it's been
tested not because he has sat and
learned the Bible with me okay
not because he now you know has a
different you know a deeper theological
understand not because they because he
has seen it he or she has seen it fail
recurrently on an empirical level how
long are you gonna try it over and over
again moreover how are you going to give
away the the the heartland of the
country that is a mountain range that
mountain range controls the rest of the
country it would be suicidal and even
even left-leaning generals know that
which we have and moreover and this is a
little bit more of a subtle thing but
it's as important if not even more
important by giving away our ancestral
homeland and that way of thinking we
undermine our very narrative because our
narrative is based on our historical
connection to places like hammer-on and
if you undermine that you've actually
undermined the very underpinnings of of
why Israel has a right to exist in that
landmass so you're shooting yourself in
the foot
and you can see people like people like
Shimon Peres he says the the history is
not important people today is important
the future is important not the history
but that's not the way the Middle East
works history is
portant narrative it is important your
roots are important yes roots are
important yes think about that roots are
important if you're ruthless you slide
off there's a narrative a tale is very
important that's right and it's all in
the Bible there's a root to the story
that's it's all the same it's it's it's
by the way that what is the the tombs of
the fathers and mothers it's the root of
mankind's moral doctrines okay without
that if it indeed is the Ibrahimi mosque
if you know if in fact Abraham is a
Muslim prophet and all these you know if
the whole thing that turns the whole
world starts to become a lie if Abraham
is not you know the the heart burner of
the Bible and they basically say that
our Bible is a lot that we have we are
the liar
we have fabricated the Bible the
Christians on the other hand don't say
that about our about the Old Testament
right so it's a difference in kind also
today thank God Christians are coming
away from their own replacement theology
right and we're moving with at least the
people in this room you know and that's
what you said it in the right way
because there are many Christians who
are very much part of replacement
theology in fact fifty percent of the
money that comes into anti-israel
organizations from around the world come
through European Christian organizations
there's still a deep anti-semitism there
but we're talking today that there is a
movement of big movements and really
Israel was founded in large measure with
the help of this movement and there's
many great stories that that do not seek
replacement theology but the stuff that
I was talking about before his
replacement narrative that's also it's a
new kind of replacement theology
Israel's not Israel the Israel's a thief
it was really Palestine that's also a
replacement theology a policeman
narrative replacement politics alright
here we go we're gonna I don't want to
lose you folks okay let's pull back for
a second or everything is stretch okay
so we agreed so far Australia should
move the embassy yes
easy enough we agreed that we have to
deal with the media because their their
narrative commands and we got to know
how to answer them in a robust manner
yes we agree to that robustly without a
lot of [ __ ] you know with and lack of
clarity clarity this is our line' we
have every right to it we'll fight for
it clarity and what was the last thing
we agree to how did we say they heard of
roots okay all right we agreed to basic
principles now oh and we oh and we
agreed that the two-state solution is
dumb okay can we say that way it is dumb
it is just done and it is failed tested
and failed and it was and it is anti
Middle Eastern and it's very cognition
is against the way the middle-east
thinks it empowers the jihad against us
consciously in their consciousness are
we done with that so we got it okay we
got those three points good now let's go
quickly to I'll turn us a two-state
solution because the criticism that you
should have said to me is he's shy great
you've disproven two-state solution but
what about do you have a right wing do
you have a nationalistic alternative and
that's a critique but in that critique
is also held by the very question do you
have an alternative there's a moment
where I like to pause and say ah that
you just asked me that it's so nice okay
because you've come to at least some
realization that there's a problem in
the two-state solution you've understood
that and now you're throwing it back to
me and here's my moment to you know hit
it back I like that and I like the
breaking of the calcification because
we've been told forever and ever the
two-state solution is they fill in the
blank the only solution it's the only
solution
I hate when people say only right this
is the only card come on there's another
car you know somebody says to me it's
the only I immediately feel like it's
certainly not the only you know so
that's annoying but it's also not right
and here we go we have to give them an
answer alright we have to give them an
answer and I'm gonna go fast through
these and you could see them again if
you would like at my New York Times
article which was published last
February on the matter which is called a
settlers vision for the future of Israel
okay which I would
which drew out which spelled out these
five alternatives in a way that's easy
for you to remember I hope and that
article got a lot of residents because
I'm finally an ultra and I learned a
little useful trick don't always say
from first person this is not just my
voice not yeesh I sat down and the
drawing board he came up with five
alternatives I'm not that smart okay but
it is a compilation of other smart
people's thinking on this issue yes
there has been thinking so let's go
through this quickly okay number one
guess what you want a two-state solution
we'll give it to you in fact the British
gave it to okay they gave you in the 20s
it was called shorten it took 70 percent
of a landmass dedicated to the Jewish
people cut off a huge chunk of it and
gave it to their buddies who they
crowned King on this landmass in a
totally you know audacious colonialist
thing just to do a favor to their hash
of money friends and they called it
Transjordan later to be called Jordan
okay so guess what 80% of the people
that live in Jordan are Palestinians
okay and they're ruled by a Bedouin
Hashemite minority fine
but good news there's already a
Palestinian state moreover in 1948 it
was this Jordan that took over our
ancestral homeland the West Bank Judea
and Samaria and the Arabs that lived
there they all had Palestinian excuse me
Jordanian passports it was only in 1984
when those passports were revoked
one fine day they woke up stateless so
maybe we can reinstate with the literal
meaning of that word reinstates these
people's status as Jordanian citizens
they could stay in Israel stay in Israel
stay living we will annex Judea and
Samaria in the West Bank the
Palestinians there will have Jordanian
passport they will live in Israel as
residence but vote in their Parliament
right next door if they would like to go
there and fulfill their feelings of
national self-determination fine if they
want to stay in Israel because it is a
fabulous country to live in
right the best country in the Middle
East and they want to keep their
Palestinian identity their Muslim
identity their Arab identity no problem
don't be jihadist pay your taxes
serve a national service or in the army
and vote in in amman good simple
beautiful everybody should be so happy
everybody should applaud this is
fabulous Jordan is Palestine hippie
hooray great everything's so good I can
finish that get going it alright okay
it's just easy it's easy the only
problem is is that Jordan is not under
our control and that doesn't mean it's
not going to happen we should we can
create that consciousness and get that
thing ready either with the king if he
wants to keep ruling and he's going to
accept it or without the king because he
could be overthrown also and we should
be ready for that as well let me add
another caveat that has come up very
recently about that plan and if I would
write the article today I would add this
and I should write this and add this and
I hope I that I do which is like this
right now there's a new discussion about
about the Middle East in that there are
some states like Saudi Arabia that are
changing their attitude towards Israel
you've noticed this in Israel we've
noticed it more
there's bloggers savvy bloggers the king
is talking differently
everybody's talking differently why is
that because they've just come to love
Israel right cuz they themselves have
become great hurt silly and Zionist is
that what it is no no they're not
reading the Bible and falling in love
with Israel and Jerusalem that's not it
oh I see maybe it's because of Iran okay
maybe it's because this other bit now
here's a piece of information that
sometimes Westerners don't know Iran
wants to destroy Israel duh but you
might not know this what they really
want more than anything every single day
of their life is to control Mecca and
Medina
that is what Iranians want very badly
why because who controls Mecca and
Medina controls the true Islam okay and
they feel themselves to be you know
they're very very very very they very
much want to control those things and to
prove that their version of Islam is the
right one so right now the Saturdays now
now the Saudis used to rule they had a
nice deal with America which was will
give you
oil and good prices you give us
protection okay very simple that was the
deal
they have fancy planes but they're not
good at them they're not that's true
that's just a fact everybody knows that
I'm not I'm not making fun of anybody
just fact is they're not good at self
defense and they use the American
now America is pulling out of the Middle
East even with President Trump they're
just not in the fighting mood right now
in the end president Trump is an America
first thinker which is fine but suddenly
the reality now they think for
themselves that if the Iranian is cut
here come here they will cut our throat
not figuratively literally that's how
they understand the situation and
they're looking around they're shopping
around then what are they looking at
who's gonna be their next best friend
who's gonna take care of them was gonna
be the big boy in the block okay who's
gonna carry the big stick who's gonna
take care of it they look in there like
they see the Jewish state
it's a little weird for them it's a
little weird for them but they're like
now they can't be seen as throwing the
Palestinian story to the dogs so these
really left us saying look here's a
moment for us to negotiate with the
Palestinians and make peace because we
have these moderate Arab states like
Saudi Arabia and also Egypt which is
dealing with its own Muslim Brotherhood
problem and trying to suppress it right
now is the time when there's pro-israel
forces let's use these moderate minded
Arab states to help us make peace with
the Palestinians wrong wrong way of
thinking the reason they're turning to
us is because we're strong not because
we're weak and we've got to turn back to
them and say you want peace you want us
to give us your do you want our defense
umbrella no problem take care of this
issue for us we want Jordan is Palestine
we want this finished off we don't want
this business anymore okay I'll cut a
deal with you that will make sense to
them
okay but not what does not make sense is
in the moment where they want our
strength we'll do something stupid to
endanger our own security that's not the
moment do you just say what I'm saying I
know it's a bit complex but it's quite
important to understand what I'm saying
because you'll read this now I already
read it in two major articles major
thinkers already saying look we have
liberal my moderate minded States let's
use this moment it's the wrong
psychology it should go the other way
yes you want our help we want this issue
off the table
you-you-you deal with this we want all
the Arab countries to repatriate the
Palestinians that are living Lebanon
Jordan we want them all to have regular
citizenship of those places give the
Arabs in Judea and Samaria Jordanian
citizenship we want this out of a
picture that's the way to do it right
now
okay that's that's I know it's complex
but that's an important caveat
to to that issue I'm gonna go faster now
I'm sorry
I know if ii kept you for a long time a
lot of important issues right okay here
we go
option number two that was option number
one jordan's palestine option number two
is what Naphtali Bennett Education
Minister says he says just a next area
see all the Jews in Judea and Samaria
the West Bank live in Area C says in the
Fela Bennett and next those areas don't
deal with a NP but give where the Jews
have settled quote unquote in these
places where they have sunken roots give
them a decent normal Israeli life and no
longer under military a quasi status
give them normal Israeli status and that
includes giant cities like Ariely
like like my lad Amin like what like a
fraud like the gush etzion and like here
at our burg said are big places let it
have normal Israeli status what about a
and B says no Stoli Bennett I don't know
I don't want to figure it out yet right
now let me just take he's a businessman
he thinks in terms of scaling he says
let me scale this to the next thing good
comes option of receipt to buttress
option number B and that is our friend
mortify Kedar Davis friend and myself
and mortify Keith our great professor in
Israel great Erebus scholar hilarious
when he takes on al-jazeera in Arabic
you've never seen anything like it in
your life run circles around them in
their own Islam amazing stuff so he says
he says you don't know what you're
talking about Palestinians aren't one
people they're actually made up of clans
they're clannish
and they don't marry one another in
these various clans and they really have
seven clannish cities sram2 Karim
Jeanine etc okay Ron Ramallah etc the
seven of them and he says give them
self-rule in America they would call it
reservations okay he could prefer to
call Emirates alright he says give them
give them their self-rule in their big
cities will annex Judea and Samaria but
they'll have their big cities as
self-rule places of course they'll have
to they keep these rules cannot if
they're jihadist we have to hit them ok
but if they want to live under their
kind of rule that's the way to deal with
it that's an answer that's the
dovetailing of option number two which
is
annexation of area
see and how to deal with the area's a
and B under the Kedar Emirates rubric
okay option number four is the most
important I think other than option
number one option number one option
number four the most important but four
separates into a b and c you'll follow
me it's easy enough okay sorry to beat
old motor quicker but here's how it goes
it's simple it's actually simple
annexation of the land and then you have
to let's say two million that's also
discussion how many there are let's say
there's two million palestinians there
let's say some people say one point six
some people say one point eight some
people say three million whatever the
number is annexation of that area then
what do you do with the population so
one group option number a says give them
all citizenship boom just make them
citizens why is that okay because we
have 65 percent advantage from the river
to the sea in terms of population
excluding gaza okay excluding gaza we
have a sixty five percent advantage so
those people say you know it just take
all those Arabs in don't worry about it
and then nobody the world i don't like
this term because there's no world
okay there's all kinds of world in this
room we have the world and some of the
world hear things differently than the
other quote-unquote world okay so I
don't like to where'd the world I think
it's kind of dumb we shouldn't say the
world is the countries you know the
Czech Republic is going today to the
event and Jerusalem and Australia is not
there's a the world is a I don't like
that word because it's a little bit it
stereotypes the world there's there's a
lot of good people in the world where we
are so so so yes so the world quote
unquote will like it if we give them all
citizenship but most people I'm sure in
this room most of you are thinking that
doesn't make sense
you can't give a lot of people certainly
who've been trained for the last 40
years to detest and destroy Israel you
can't give them all citizenship so we
say something a little bit more normal
which is give them residency and the
pathway to citizenship through the
rubric of loyalty you have to swear
loyalty and then if you swear loyalty
mate you know you'll go on the pathway
of citizenship that makes a lot more
sense for most people I can tell you
that people on the Left generally are
able to swallow this this is tested I
have tested it
they can swallow it more so you have
annexation to residency to pathway to
citizenship is this even a is there a
model of this yes it already exists East
Jerusalem Arabs live exact Eastern
Jerusalem Arabs and Golan abs live
exactly on that prints they live as
Israeli residents they have Israeli
civil rights that and they have Israeli
medicine and coverage etc etc etc but
and they have also the option of
applying for citizenship then we look at
your records i we don't have a robust
loyalty all thing but there that's a big
discussion in Israel okay make them
swear loyalty to the Jewish state accept
the fact that it is a Jewish thing and
yes you are an Arab Palestinian Muslim
whatever you want but you are living in
a jury state except that we can give you
a citizenship option number C is less
attractive to folks on the left but I
think it has to be discussed and I think
it's more biblical and that is give them
residency you as Gentiles living in our
land will have residency you will have
all the rights and protections of the
State of Israel but you're not to be
given the right to steer the wheel of
the car because we know that for a long
time you really are anti-israel and this
little defensive statement here I want
to tell you something that the Jewish
the AAA will tell you this but the rest
of the Jewish world will never tell you
this here we go
Israel is actually an ethnic Jewish
state it is not Jewish and democratic
per se first and foremost it's meant to
defend its own BIA what's the word we're
looking for David sanctuary for for the
Jewish people
how many atoms are there in our region I
said it before 350 million and there's
six and a half million Jews okay so we
want to give you all the rights but
we're not so sure that it's okay for you
to vote because you may try to avoid us
or the 12 Crescent members that we have
right now we see that they're actually
quite hateful towards Israel and
seditious if they were if they you had
something like that in your palm and you
would have arrested them a long time ago
and put them on trial yeah and I don't
know how you do what seditious people
but but that's what you would deal with
them as seditious so option number four
so what is for any help me I want to see
if you're awake here for a
now I don't want to hear from this table
here nine four is what for a what no
that's for B it's all annexation
annexation to Rhetta two and four eight
is that crazy option which is just give
them citizenship immediately no
questions asked welcome to Israel okay
option for B may be more reasonable
residency na through loyalty okay yeah
it's a simple and then and then and then
for C is annexation residency that's and
welcome to Israel okay and and you have
a good life you want self-determination
you have twenty two other countries you
want to live here you'll be a resident
okay for B is what folks on the Left can
swallow
generally speaking okay that doesn't
mean that it's right but I'm just
telling you that when you talk to say
let's say you face somebody who is very
much against you you could say here's an
option it's called annexation to
residency so pathway to citizenship
through the Gateway of loyalty and
people are like okay I can swallow I
could swallow okay final option is
number five which is look maybe at some
point we'll reach a conclusion that
indeed there is no peace I use that word
sparingly okay maybe there is no peace
maybe there we are two national
narratives the one that has been
recently created there's and are thirty
eight hundred year old one cannot cannot
coexist cannot coexist and therefore we
need a little bit of a divorce and this
would be something like India Pakistan
or Greece Turkey and it would be and I'm
not talking about forced evacuation here
I'm talking about compensated willful
exchange of populations if you feel
yourself that you cannot live in a
Jewish state we will set up a program to
help you emigrate out just like we help
choose emigrate in will help you
emigrate out you know and and and
because we see that this is not going to
work out that kind of accelerated
separation let's go I like that
accelerated separation I like that
accelerated separation okay okay I'm
finishing off with one last thing are we
are you guys all right
you guys are right I filled your heads a
little bit okay here we go last option
I'm going to tell you the original peace
plan you want to hear the original peace
plan it was an Arab peace plan the year
was 1919 the year was 1919 it was the
Paris Peace Conference hope was in the
air okay
the first the the the Great War was over
there was a thinking we got it we got we
got to not go into another war again
like that little they know what was
gonna happen but in 1919 at the Paris
Peace Conference two people met and they
exchanged letters you could see those
letters on Wikipedia it's called the
vitamin faisal letters kind weitzman
Emir Faisal Emir Faisal important Arab
leader kind of iseman head of the
designs movement and they met and they
write letters and the important letters
are the ones from faisal to vitamin and
it goes something like this jewish
brothers i'm dramatizing yes jewish
brothers welcome to your homeland
he says the educated amongst us know
that you have historical connection to
this land let us rise up together a
semitic union a strong Jewish state
among strong Arab states together we
will rise up together we will be
successful as a Semitic alliance we are
the children of Abraham there should be
a strong Jewish state a strong Arab
States around them around it that's the
way to move forward not to divide the
Jewish state not you know we want your
land oh yes there will be a Jewish state
we speak a similar language we have a
similar religion we are similar in some
senses and and we have and dissimilar in
others and we have but we have a you
know a joint genetic code almost you
know similar genetic code we are Semitic
peoples we're children of Abraham let us
rise up together okay that was the
original vision that he was a non
jihadist sadly he was not to win the day
and there were other forces hateful
forces like that of Haj Amin al-husseini
who was the original kind of jihadist
thinker and later became a full book
that is what won the day we've got to
reverse the clock and the way we're
going to do that is through sending a
message the digital is going to be
strong in my last talk somebody came up
to me and said you
didn't mention God enough and it was
like I'm a rabbi my beard is turning
gray okay I'm talking about God all the
time and she said she said nope you
didn't mention God enough so we have to
say it is God he gives us the strength
to do Valor
okay it's his great vision that he's in
gathering the Jewish people to Land of
Israel he's got a great vision of peace
for this world
okay he's got a vision of the light for
this world of knowledge and we're living
in great times times of great
intellectual knowledge of health of
transportation of communication God is
revealing great things in this world he
has revealed that he is that he's
returning the Jewish people Land of
Israel he's revealed that he wants
Jerusalem to shine to the world and the
many people in this room are the Jewish
people who are hearing that call and
many of our brothers and sisters from
the non-jewish world are hearing that
call many millions are hearing God's
call then I say it enough clearly okay
nobody's gonna say he should he didn't
mention God
grab my each I didn't mention God that
did not happen at this target okay with
that I want to wish you God's amass
everybody say God some ass
