TNL in Jerusalem #23 - Defending the Soldiers of Israel

the Land of Israel calm and israel national TV present Aria brand woods and Jeremy jintao it's Tuesday night live in Jerusalem Jerusalem the only israel-based Jewish television show broadcast to the entire world I'm Jeremy compel this is Arya Brentwood's and I think it's fair to say that both of us are pretty excited to start our second season yeah tonight all of us have gathered here on a mission we've all come together United the nation of Israel is under attack and once again the Jewish people stand alone to defend our rights to live as a free people in our homeland and tonight as the best and brightest of the Jewish people defend our borders we've come here tonight to defend them as tonight's show is dedicated to all the Israeli soldiers who are risking their lives to protect ours tell us tell us they're all heroes to the international media however their war criminals you know sometimes I feel like pulling out my hair I get so angry and so upset you know for the three weeks before this war that we're fighting right now stare out the South innocent civilians were bombarded with over 400 rockets and missiles they were living in fear and terror there maimed and wounded and finally when we do what any rational same country would do and defend ourselves all of a sudden the UN and the EU the whole world wakes up condemning us in condemning us and condemning us yet disproportionate they always use the word disproportionate they disproportionately use the word disproportionate and the truth is though that none of that really matters it doesn't matter to the soldiers down fighting this war what the world thinks I know Jeremy and I were reservists if this war keeps going there's a good chance we'll be called up and we're not going to care what the world says what we care is what the Jewish people think our family our nation that's what matters that's why we've come here tonight to stand in solidarity expressing our gratitude and our love and our prayers for every single idea of soldier down in Gaza you know sometimes we forget sometimes we take Israel for granted sometimes we take our freedom for granted what the world needs to understand is that the soldiers of the IDF aren't just protecting innocent Israeli civilians they're protecting the entire world what do I mean by that Ahmadinejad the Hamas Hezbollah no one should be fooled to think that their appetite will be satiated by destroying Israel their vision is on global domination and until they bring a reign of terror to the entire world they're not going to stop so every day that these brave Jewish boys and girls dress up in their army uniforms and lace their boots and they go out to the front lines they're not just defending us they're defending you and you need to know that now while the international media is doing everything it can to destroy Israel's image we're here tonight to share a very loud very clear message Israel is our homeland it's always been our homeland it will always be our homelands and all of those people that want to take our home away from us and send us back to the Exile what we've already enjoyed the perks and benefits of living under Christian and Muslim rule thank you but honestly no thank you after 2,000 years two thousand years the Jewish people have been wandering around the world and now that we're back in our home in Jerusalem let me make this very clear we are never going to leave now who here agrees who here agrees that Israel really gets a raw deal in the international media hey let's see some hands wow that's nearly unanimous other than one person who is that that kristiana I'm on tour with CNN I'm just kidding she's not really there she's probably in Tuesday night live in Ramallah with Assad and Jamal you know recently I learned by the way that Assad and re mean the same thing they both mean lion so I guess I have more in common with the Syrian dictator than I thought you know but when the world is coming against us and we want our leaders to stand up what do we say we all remember the statement we have dialed we have tired of fighting and we have dialed of winning and we have tired of being courageous we have tired of being tired we just want to nap we will even give you ninety seven percent of our blankets just let us sleep and the truth is the man who said that he can sleep he can express his fatigue if you like but he does not speak for the Jewish people that's why Jeremy and I Jeremy and I have come together with our good friends at honest reporting com to show you how crazy and wild the international media bias is against Israel and what wonderful spokesman the average jus on the street really is for Israel so we want you to meet the streets of Jerusalem how do you explain that all of these women and children only civilians killed his valla has been firing rockets not only from the town of konna right next to that building from all of that surrounding area for the last two and a half weeks so I'm saying that we are those more annoyed do you have that that is the case Israel has just kidnapped even more Palestinian politicians cabinet ministers members of parliament and thousands of others held in Israeli dungeon then this war will continue the camera captured the terror of the woman's young daughter and her brothers attempt to stop her from showing the soldiers her fear the fact that today Israel is being vilified in the world's media is not something new but would earn you are the methods being used to do this with the advance of modern communications technology the capturing transmitting and broadcasting of the news became more available and a number of news outlets started to mushroom along with the frequency and availability of their news reports technological advances have led to the commensurate declined in the standard of journalism in both accuracy and integrity the worst cases of media bias is when you have somebody out there who has a specific agenda against Israel and uses the media to for that agenda the Palestinians on that day Happy Valley play acted scenes for the cameras we know that that's the case for other scenes forever incidents and injuries because we got filmed that provided by Reuters of Palestinians care being carried into ambulances looking like they were seriously injured and then a couple of months later they got out of the air ambulance again started laughing and so on we call these the big lights there instances of cases where the action never happened or is exaggerated such as the Janine massacre or the alder case where what the media reported simply wasn't true after being hit by thousands and thousands of rockets the State of Israel decided to reduce the amount of diesel fuel that was going into Gaza to their generator in Gaza City this represented less than twenty-five percent of Gaza's electrical needs yet we see at eight o'clock in the evening on prime time on al-jazeera Walton all the lights in Gaza City go out at once and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are out in the street holding candles it was obviously a photo-op that the media bought it up we have BBC and the New York Times and CNN and all these others reporting about the Israeli collective punishment of the Palestinians as if these cutbacks cause that outage the outage was caused by Hamas we even have a picture of the Hamas Parliament that is meeting and they have to meet with candles have candles on all the desks but you can see in the background that the meeting took place in the afternoon is bright sunshine outside and they had to put curtains up over all the windows so that you could see the candles on their desks we have this cartoon of arielle shoreham beating a baby this actually won an award for best quality in a competition it was obvious to many people there was a lot of anti-semitic imagery involved while the cartoonist says that this was never his intention and he copied the idea formed I believe a Goya painting the fact that Jews killing babies is something that goes back to medieval times is impossible to ignore and many protests were raised journeys years ago people got their news once a day everybody would listen whether it's on the radio or a television broadcast once a day they'd hear the news which means if you are a media company you have many hours to put that story together in recent years things and moved on from newspapers in print the Internet's and the web have become the main means of disseminating information and disinformation as well today everybody's on the internet people are looking at the news especially breaking news every couple of hours people check the news many times a day there's an explosion somewhere the media runs out to cover it and immediately somebody comes up to them and says here's what happens even if the story is wrong there is so much pressure in the media business today to get it on the air get it on the internet publish publish publish if we're wrong we'll go back and we'll talk about that later well it looks like the cards are stacked against the Jewish people it seems like there's no good news for the Jews we're a country about the size of long island surrounded by an ocean of 23 Arab countries that are hostile and what nothing more than our destruction and yet for some reason international media portrays us as the aggressors and the them as the underdogs what can we do what do you do with that what can we do to fight back and the only answer re and I have come up with is to show the world the real Israel and let the nation of Israel speak for themselves so now we want you to meet the street now beat the street with are you Jeremy the whole world is listening to you and you have a chance to represent Israel your staff they listen this is what Israel means to me what would you tell them wow what Israel means to me let's say that Israel to me means a true nation of unity and brotherhood the shot like the United States are so a lot of like infighting in the United States things like that still a lot of racial divisions is still very bizarre to see interracial couples and things like that and in Israel it's not bizarre you see friends of different backgrounds all hanging out together and getting along together there's not as much animosity you're standing in America during the Superbowl centerfield Janet Jackson just doesn't think the the BC boy is the Hardy Boys whoever they are backstreet boys are doing their dances and then the camera is on you the world is all looking at you what are you going to tell the world that they need to understand about Israel the Jewish people don't blame the Jews for the financial crisis you know kind of worried that's going to happen the camera is on you the entire world is watching people are paying five million dollars for every 30 second ad it's the super bowl you're on TV you have a chance to speak to the entire world what do you tell them the night of the Super Bowl what it's so cool when I would tell the world is that new years is coming the blessings that reach this physical world come because of the neshamah of the Jew that when the neshamah of the Jew is happy and what makes the mishima that you happy is Torah and mitzvot doing what we're supposed to do in the Land of Israel then that brings blessing to the world and that is why new year in berk economy remains a new light a light comes to this world Rosh Hashanah is way before New Year's we work real hard those three months between rosh hashanah and New Year's the light comes in and the messages that you the non-jewish world you're being blessed because of the work that the Jewish people did in New Year's means you're receiving the new year it's a new year a new light it came from us what is your message to the whole world from the Jewish people that a Jewish people have all one country and only one city and Israel is the only country that we can be free on I think the world is still afraid when jus stand up for ourselves because we were in gallus and we would always run and hide or try to apologize to them and we're here we're not apologizing anymore we're standing up for ourselves I think the world gets scared of that and this is would be that you can holler and you can whine and you can just criticize and be very negative to us at the end of the day we did it for a long time we're going to be for a lot longer than you are and we will stumble our way through to a much better tomorrow you have to stay strong I mean that the fact that week we got a we got a state building up like six years ago doesn't guarantee s freedom you know the fact that we have like a flag and the fact that we have a national anthem doesn't really give this freedom we need to stand up like everyone each one and one of us and you know stand up in each day and fight about it what are your dreams for is what is the ideal Israel that you moved here you came here you lived here you had this vision what was that vision that you had forever uh vision I'll oh I like a better public transit system you know really good trains um maybe get paid more cheaper electronic devices and beer in a six-pack where it's actually worth it to buy to this expect things like this behind me is the backbone of the Jewish people they are the future generation they're here in Israel strengthening themselves spiritually learning Torah connecting to God in ways that they never could have any exile if you had a chance to share with the world the beautiful sides of Israel what would you want the world to see it's not it's so spiritual it's amazing everyone there is like whoo earthy like go Israel it's really nice everyone here is nice to each other what would your message be to all the Jewish people all over the world come as fast as you can don't waste any time this is the oh and all the things that are happening in the world has to do with a camera showing us it's time to come to Israel it's time to come to Jerusalem the most beautiful city in the world Jerusalem is a an ongoing spiritual seminar that everywhere you go into Rousillon people are looking for something soulful and that this is a great place for people who are exploring their own spirituality to find it I'd like them to realize the great kindness that exists here and not to think of us how he says the big bad Israeli but most of all I think I like the world to understand the narrative in the history of the Jewish people and why we really care about this place Jerusalem is love so to being levied Jerusalem it's Deborah love in Jerusalem you can expect love and if you really believe in it you get it in Jerusalem is a very old city there is many loves and wars that were in this city that were a cause of love to this city God's essential to our lives in Israel if we didn't have our eternal connection to God then we could just kind of shrug our shoulders and find a place that has a little less conflict but but I believe that we're connected to God in what we do and where we want are our future and our children to be and that we have an assignment and that we have a hard time carrying it out but we have we have that doesn't give us any excuse for not trying to carry it out if you love god then you love Israel without Israel humanity itself and not just the Jews would be lost humanity would be lost correct Jews are back we're back in our homeland and we believe that we're going to be here forever we've always been here we always will be here and this is the only place where we can be the shining example to the world of how to really live in a land we're turning this land green and we want to show that to the rest of the world we're teaching every all of you how to stop the deserts from growing how to turn the world green how to live morally in the world and we can do it by living here and living right Israel and the Jewish people is something that combined together more than 2,000 years Jerusalem it's our city even by God we are the chosen people and if we're looking about it in a different way not a religious this is the place we choose to live on this is the place I want to raise my kids this is where I feel good this is my home and we're going our way or never when you guys see each other in the street you haven't seen each other for I don't know 10 15 minutes you shriek really loud oh you're so happy to see each other the louder you shriek all of you together the more you love Israel we have a right to be here and we have a right to exist and we're here we're home this has been our home for thousands of years this is what we've wanted for thousands of years and here we are and we're staying before I came to Israel and came to Judaism I spent a lot of time with American Indians and at some point they said to me you're Jewish you guys actually won your homeland back what are you doing here and talking to us so okay I decided to come visit right now you guys are having a debated discussion of two jews three opinions but the bottom line is is juicing is real we all love each other we love each other and slowly are not there maybe go slowly do you love this man yeah some geo told him I love him but he loved of every Jewish but I'll going to decide and I what they say and they understand him and I can do speak with him you see Israel has a problem with its PR because sometimes we say what we don't really mean and if you scratch underneath the service that prickly cover of the Sabra you'll find a really sweet fruit on the inside and that's the real Israel we want the world to see the fruit that's delicious that's soft that's sweet that's the real Israel I'm from Toronto Toronto what does a pretty Zionist a community but oh we're not were cut that out okay so why do you why are you such a why are you such a Zionist is it because of Jewish is like the Jewish homeland yes it's because God's presence is always in Israel yeah it's because it's dull at all mode every step you take is a mitzvah pure kaduche is one hundred percent this is one of the only 23 could miss was you
