Yishai Fleisher Show: Normalization - The Final Frontier

[Music] you I love everybody and welcome to the eShop Fleischer's show broadcasting from Judea to the world you're a part of it wherever you are Shalom and welcome to Malcolm Fleischer monka welcome to the show thank you I get to be at the front of the show this time that's right at the front of the show it's summertime so summer schedules are wackier but we're getting it done because we continue to broadcast even though it's summer and we just want to summer and vacation but the truth of the matter is is that even though there is a different kind of atmosphere in the summer in Israel and the kids are off and all that still things are moving along you know things are things are still happening very much for example I was with my friend Jake Bennett on a double dual day where first I went with them to the Temple Mount and then afterwards went on a regular viewer which is really seeing how the Palestinian Authority is building specifically in areas see of Judea and Samaria of the West Bank so what we really like in both parts of the day are in the one hand very inspiring the Jewish people are back on the in Jerusalem and the Temple Mount but on the other hand you really see a big disruption right about a big Muslim shrine there interestingly enough we had some young kids like Eleazar and my nephew resolved my son Nels our Arsenal's our and our nephew yahuda and he was there and and it was fun to be with kids because there's something to be with kids it's like much more kind of hopeful that's not of like it like it just uh my mom said that to you she said this is like a different atmosphere when you have when you have kids with you and so that part of the of it was we also went with a very old rabbi Rabbi Moshe Jaffa Tendler to the Temple Mount also all of us like the young kids the old rabbi the Temple Mount the good parts of the fact that we're at the Temple Mount the bad parts but overall a very positive experience the next part of the tour was with the organization called break ovum and they're trying to stop all over the country not just in Area C not just in the Judea and Samaria West Bank but also in the Negev and the Galil all kinds of land takeovers and you know the the left that I deal with on Twitter and stuff are always saying you know there's a creeping annexation of Israel as creepingly annexing Judea and Samaria and I'm like first thing we're not creepin we're trying very hard to annex Judy in Samaria and we're saying it outright so that's not creepin but we should say it outright a little more I don't know how outright that out rightness is that's what and that's right and moreover it's not creepin though that there is a creeping annexation of the other side that's what's really happening a massive land building effort certainly the Palestinian controlled areas which is it called a and B but in Area C where the Jews are supposed to be controlling where Israel's supposed to be found in Judea there's there's really a creeping annexation from the other side which is in their strength which is you know the Jews are good at words and they have a strong bureaucracy Israel's got a strong bureaucracy too strong what's your point my point is when you don't have bureaucracy and you have just free money to build and you and your uncle and your your other uncle owns the cement shop and your other uncle owns the rock shop and you know how to do electricity and you get money from the Qataris or whoever to build or the European Union which would have a lot of signs saying we're trying to build Area C so you just you just put up tons and tons and tons of concrete and houses all over the place and Road and basically creepingly an exit to the other side anyway I called it the Horeb on tour yeah the destruction tour or your mom told me she was like it was a good day like three weeks wise she's like it so these were good tours this was a good tour the regular tour to go on during the three weeks yeah it was a three weeks tour for sure so that that was there was a little bit upsetting and I know that I'm not the only one who gets upset on the Temple Mount you have a story about a Saudi blogger who went to the Temple Mount and it was also accosted by the creeping annexation of of the other side we need to say he did he would was struck by the very people who don't want to see Israeli presence there anybody who's friendly to Israeli presence especially Arab they they attacked is that right well basically there was a very interesting press event I guess in Israel six media personalities from Arab countries were invited to Israel including a Saudi and in Iraqi now the only person that we know who it's who their name is is a person named Mohammed Saud who is a blogger from Saudi Arabia never before has anybody who's like remotely related to media come to Israel as an official welcome guest basically but he's a known entity we know him we he's a Twitter er he's a blogger he's like he puts a pro at pro netanyahu videos right so he is a pro netanyahu which is weird right like on a lot of levels is it pro netanyahu Saudi and he is very vocally in favor of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel the other journalists it's unclear almost anything about them now obviously they came to Israel and some Israeli official quoted one of these journalists they took them on tours they took them to Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial they took them to holy sites throughout Israel and they're like this place is like a dreamland we can't believe it if only our country like our kids Minh would know about this place and how incredible it is that that it would be like it would change everything kind of thing so it was very impressive to these people and I guess they're sort of Kudo they were handed in the foreign ministry very much kudos on the foreign ministry for bringing them and but like yes kudos to the foreign ministry and we should be doing more of these things and that it's this is the the the final frontier kind of is the is the normalization with the Arab world and the name flesh own name for the show normalization the final frontier okay it's it's the the thing that israel needs to do the most I think as it's like last stage of total rooted awesomeness in the Middle East is to get everyone else in this area to be like yeah we like having Israel and being able to kind of say it openly anyway so this this blog or Muhammad's out and you can totally find him on Twitter he's he's pretty active he posts like every few days on Twitter Mohammed Saud he went up to the Temple Mount he well he went into Jerusalem's Old City and up to the Temple Mount during his visit on Monday and there was video taken of his experience basically what happened is that he was taunted and sped attacked by people on the Temple Mount even children like yeah like too young man type of thing yet like 13 as well 13 14 year old boys right who like walked right up to him and spit in his face now I'll tell you you said that you went to the Temple Mount the other day with the kids when the Jews go up to the Temple Mount with the kids or without the kids right there's a lot of security presence right now the presence is there to protect the Jews but it's also there to keep the Jews in line kind of thing it's there to make sure no one does the like most radically offensive thing on earth which is pray to a god right pray to their God which is like totally unacceptable to the Islamic walk incidentally I understand that and they're totally right because Jewish prayer is one of the most potent things that there is so I can totally understand that they would want don't let them stay up that they let the pretty they're absolutely right did it go to my tourism instead I mean they're they're fools right because like as if you can really stop a person from praying like unless you stop their brainwaves you really can't stop a person from praying so that's ridiculous but I can understand their fear and they should continue to be afraid of Jewish prayer but there's lots of security presence when Jews go up to the Temple Mount like lots and lots but this guy Muhammad's out who I think with sunglasses on looks like Lenny Kravitz he was really attacked and I was sort of surprised that there was no official person from Israel who came to his aid Makkah let's take that video of him walking on temperament being spat at and the rocks being thrown at him the chairs being thrown at him all kinds of stuff and let's set that to I want to get away I want to fly I mean sunglasses once he takes off the sunglasses or smiles he doesn't look like Lenny Kravitz anymore but with the sunglasses he's like he's got this like Middle Eastern music video thing going on yeah so yes that was the situation of muhammad's out incidentally after this whole experience and honestly it was it was dangerous right it was like a really he was doing sort of surprised that he got out of there just with a disgustingly wet face and having some chairs and stuff throwing a cheers there's the stuff thrown at him because it could have been much worse than that okay but my guess is that the only reason that they didn't do that was a fear of some kind of backlash from Saudi Arabia uh yeah yeah he was very brave but he was all alone like you're saying that Israeli police did not kind of in fact I asked Israeli police I said hey what happened to that Saudi blogger yesterday and they were like yeah and I'm like what he did not request any security yeah like I don't think he understood that the animosity that people have and the thing is and I thought he might maybe he thought that it was more under Israeli control the fact is is that I'm sure he learned a lot yeah he learned a lot and the world saw a lot I mean the real truth is he's a proxy for anti-israel hate and the fight most vehemently is against Arabs who want to normalize relations with the Jews that's who the most dangerous person is right right and that the the media Arabs were not under the thumb and control of the jihadist mindset here comes a guy from Saudi Arabia and he should be like mister Wahhabi jihadi but he's calling for the other way so they see him as a traitor a traitor they called him Zionist trash the other guru like go to a beta Knesset yeah and he's like he didn't say anything but inside he's like wouldn't mind you know okay I wouldn't mind I know there's a lot of schmoozing and Schewel I heard there's herring yeah look I am the hime okay yeah I wish we could have met him but he did get to meet somebody that he really really likes I got to shake I'll never wash this hand again he got to meet his his Israeli icon Bibi Netanyahu which is really nice it's nice that Bibi Netanyahu is still some people's icon also I appreciate that and he like posts on Twitter whatever you call it I know you're very stickler E these days about word definitions yes I think me me like idle but I'm happy to use the word idle well you pick a word uh here oh okay so you got to do a selfie I didn't see any self you know I was obviously so I don't know what's gonna be with all that now I also don't know what's gonna be with him going back to Saudi Arabia yeah because in this I am not exact I don't exactly have my finger on the pulse of Saudi media but what I've seen from Israeli media talking about Arab media is that there has been a lot of conflict over this visit to the Temple Mount and the it wouldn't it's not over like necessarily what you would expect like I originally thought that the conflict in the media was going to be about how this Saudi was treated and whether it was okay or not okay now some Saudis are like what is this we've supported them financially these Palestinians we've given to them we've supported them into design an international community and and they're like they think they heard them say kind of slurs about the Saudi royal family and how can you talk like that about us and this is mama slow beset alright this is not okay other media people are like just because one guy goes - d'avin on al-aqsa doesn't mean that Saudi Arabia is like normalizing with everybody with Israel just chillax and there's like a whole discussion or we normalising are we not normalizing is he calling for normalization should we accuse him of being a normalized or should we not accuse him of being a normalizer and then there's this whole comfort that there's really a lot of conversation around this issue well resume a normal is Asian and there's people who really don't basically no one wants to be accused of normalizing with Israel right because it's important to remember that in the 70s that came out that famous cartoon vote no normalization no trade no relations basically basically a state of war like we will not accept them it's like need do we it's what he called excommunication it's the type of relationship that the Arabs have had to Israel in the last hundred years what I like to call the 100 year war and so here's a guy that's trying to end the 100 year war right but I love I love it I love it you know Malka these people are so brave I really loved what you said before which is it's the final frontier which is normalization I think that's a fabulous fabulous point you made you know what I mean and I you know and I'm also Trekkie so that works in that way you know I'm we're on Twitter you and I are on Twitter whoo too much right so I put I posted yeah sometimes too much so I posted a tweet like two days ago which got me a hundred new followers in like 36 hours that is awesome and basically the tweet was about how waking up in Judea like instantly upset like how did I like if I woke up in Judea this morning it means that I've already upset hundreds of millions of people who are moving around all kinds of money and doing all kind of like racking up you know hundreds of millions of man-hours in trying to defeat me so I'm already I've already got a good start to my day right and it was like meant to be a joke but also meant to be a comment on how just existing in Judea is like out like out raging too so so so many people who want to see Jews kicked out of Judea so I got a hundred new followers after that and a lot of evidence that I am so so so so right basically they're the people come up come out at you and they're just like full of rage and hate about Jews living in Judea and like your inherent existence means the oppression of other people it means stealing from somebody I don't steal I don't oppress that's for sure and and one of the things that I found that I felt the need to say to people which is sort of like ridiculous to have to ever say but I think that maybe people need to hear it at the same time is that I like living in an Arab Middle East I don't need to live in like a Anglican you know Crusader like the world of like well it's not like I feel so much more comfortable in Germany with and I would you in Iraq it's just a question of which background music do you want do you want the Christmas and the dingdong dingdong music or do you want the Walkabout you know I don't know that we should vote on that we could vote on that but I don't know that we should vote on that here on the show but the point is that like I don't have a problem with Arabs this is fascinating at listen to this so listen to this I was speaking with a group of students yesterday that came to speak with me from stand with us yeah very interesting stuff very interesting stuff so B instead of talking I actually first but first 30 minutes I got them to talk about what's going on on campus how they're feeling and and then afterwards I went into this whole monologue I had I could have taken like three different issues the narrative war we're indigenous and tribal and alternatives to the two-state solution it's like a whole but I didn't have time for everything but in any case I focused on the tribal thing like we're tribal I kept saying like look you gotta be first thing there's a word that I wish there was a more Torah Torah a nice word for it but it's badass and I said I said I said it's it's a mitzvah to be badass it's great it's the right I'll chase I'll okay that's okay fine whatever you want yeah that's Thank You Marcus see you're looking for a Torah waiter that's right we have to be on safe house thank you darling yes you've conjured my my my disgusting potty pet so the the the old PI hose was dirty and you fixed it now so I want to say that one of the things that I kept saying to them look we got to be strong I told them that almost all of the basic terminology that the hasbara industry that the house brass quad has has taught us are really very problematic Jewish and democratic very problematic terminology moral army the worst of all of the terminologies piece itself the word piece problematic word and I kept trying to explain to them how all these words are in fact really harmful to the tribal indigenous way of talking and feeling about yourself here in the Middle East so one girl says to me something and you know when you speak to a lot of groups it's rare to hear a really new thing but I heard a new thing so this one girl says you know I appreciate what you're saying but if you talk tough on campus like I was in a situation like that and then a Palestinian girl a girl claimed to be Palestinian ran out of the meeting out of like the BDS meeting crying being like they've taken my homeland that's a good one and I was like an app for a second I was like stunned and then I said to her why don't you run out of the meeting and say they've taken my homeland he destroyed my tempo he destroyed my tempo why don't you be like we fast I fast for this on the 9th of I've coming up I have a fast for this for you have taken my land you've destroyed my temple you have a you have your God you know you your your tabernacle on my on my holy place or whatever it is and she looked at me and I was like basically it's an effort to unwise I can't believe this whole white discussion is coming I just want to say by the way sometimes I feel they need to say this so I'm gonna say this out loud listeners of ours who are white we still love you you don't but I feel horrible it's like what are these people that are just born alright it's like now they have to defend themselves for just their whiteness hey just because I look white I do not self-identify as white okay it's such a crazy world you know but but you know what it is though there is a sense to it there is there is a kind of sense that if you use it correctly which is I'm not talking about the American context forget that but I'm not like era like we are a middle-eastern people and the one of the main accusations against this has been that we are foreign peoples and that's what that's one of the that's that if you think about it that's one of the most pernicious lies over the mall well I'm just getting back to it you said before which is like if I have to choose ding dong ding dong or we're in this case it's like but the point is that neither of them are necessarily what I would pick but both of them are also fine meaning to say like I can deal the Jewish people are strong either way and the point is that that what I wanted to say about normalization right is that is that Israel is like Israel is really part of this region and it's okay to have like you know the the smooth like the the Kalakh that smooth colored goat and the speckled goat don't mean it's like we're we're this we ought to not speak of the black sheep and that's okay cuz slack sheep are not worse than white sheep that's right that's we're talking about fur and we can be a very interesting and and beneficial we're an interesting part of this region and we don't want more than what we want but which is our very small sliver of land in this voice Turkey by the way is also a country that is half an Asian half in Europe and it's got different like these things as a mixture not that I'm saying we're like took it but we're a little bit like Turkey Jews that the thing is you I mean everybody knows that's already but the thing you got to know about Jews is that we are everything you can't really we are definitely as a tribe we're definitely from the Middle East but over the course of thousands of years we've become everything so like excuse you we don't have to explain ourselves to you that's right we have been dispersed all over the place and now we look like everything and that's cool where we go to the rainbow well we could still fake cry and run out of the room and be like they've taken my homeland I mean we don't have to fake cry right it's like maybe we should get in touch with our actual feelings for a second and legitimately cry because we're just as authentically upset as somebody else but if that chick is not authentically upset if this Palestinian is just doing some political theater I say Touche right good job and we can play that game too okay um speaking of political theater Jason Greenblatt the special representative of the Trump administration for international negotiation and Middle East spoke at the UN and a very impressive speech and there's a lot to talk about his speech but one of the things that he said which was new and I you know my mother's son and just when's your mom gonna be on this show cuz you talk about her as if everybody knows who she is and all that stuff well I I am the greatest filter for my mom's breadth of knowledge I I represent her well just like I represent the forefathers and mothers of the the Jewish people in Hebron and so I that's right you are pretty awesome thanks babe I try to speak in your name also quoting you far and wide throughout the world Wow peaking of your great wisdom and often times I say Malka says this or maka says that my beloved maka says the stir that and people all over the world say you're one hell of a representative for the wisdom of Malcolm Wow so amazing amazing thought anyway so so so one of the so I was as I was talking about my mom my mom loves a new thought yes and I must say I must say there was a new thought that Jason Greenblatt now I have met Jason Greenblatt a few times and shaking his hand and I've heard him speaking a few times I got to tell you he's a sharp cookie but you told me these are what they were handing out for trick-or-treating in the 80s in New York right you don't want to be a sharp cut a soft cookie he's I think like a smart cookie that's what it's a smart cookie I don't know why that's better but definitely not a sharp cookie not a sharp cookie he's a sharp got one smart smart okay so he goes to the UN and he says something which I ain't which I haven't ready says some look there's international law on these things but scholars debate it international consensus supposedly which there really isn't one but international consensus will not solve this these problems international consensus will not solve these problems you won't be able to to force the parties to have peace a word that makes me barf a little bit but okay you won't be able to force them because of something you call international consensus that's not how it works because we got to put those things to the side we got to put these these and and basically in other words he says don't use this intra word international as a cudgel as a bludgeon am i saying these things right I haven't used the word cudgel in a while but I think you have used it right yeah it's not gonna work it's not gonna work and and that in itself just that like don't go out there using well international law says you are illegal under international law right he added to what you're saying just a little word he added that there's no there's no like court that can uphold these things there's no real jurisdiction right that neither of the parties have given someone jurisdiction that you can interpret international law in different ways which is exactly what the parties are doing right so it's not so effective basically you can issue all these harsh worded resolutions but they're not binding very very very very very interesting stuff and I want to tell you like where I thought it was so brilliant is like the articulation of it kind of like understanding where there's a hiccup where people are using again as a bludgeon or a cudgel or a blood jewel against the Jewish people Hajin cousin and and being like no no this has got to stop and I was like I was like wow that was uh I don't know that was also he went further than that he also said basically his in my opinion his biggest argument against the attempt to use international consensus to press some kind of a solution was he said this he's like international consensus is not international law so let's stop kidding ourselves if a so-called international consensus had been able to resolve the israeli-palestinian conflict it would have done so decades decades ago and it didn't basically his proof was in the pudding which is like you've been consensus saying all day long and that's your guys are so good at consensus saying and he said he also accused them of writing heavily negotiated purpose we ambiguously worded resolutions about this issue right and he's like you guys are ineffective right he also slammed them he's like no international consensus or interpretation of international law will persuade the United States or Israel that a city in which Jews have lived and worshipped for nearly three thousand years and has been the capital of the Jewish state for seventy years is not today and forever the capital of Israel right so let him that's right I was very proud of that you know you you're right about him saying new things but I'm like a pretty simple girl and when somebody gets into an international body like that at this meeting which was all about Middle East issues at the United Nations Security Council and when they just give like a pretty rah rah rah speech about Israel's eternal rights and the rights of the eternal Jewish people I I love that and I thought that was incredible that the United States sent their representative to the United Nations to give over that message which with such clearly worded unquestionable support for not just Israel but for the Jewish people I mean it was really it was really tied together the the concept of Israel as a Jewish state and Israel pertaining to the Jewish people and I thought that was a very hard heartwarming and and encouraging to me good good god bless Jason Greenblatt and and and these efforts towards normalization let's keep the theme going here yes I'm n which is normalization the final frontier like that very much Malcolm thank you once again your wisdom Wow I held it speaking of international law we actually had an international war thirty thirty three hundred years ago with the Midianites went out to war to avenge their sending of their lovely maidens to entice and ensconced the Jewish people in Scots entice and and snare the Jewish thank you the Jewish people asses like a fuzzy blanket yep yep but I'm sure there was fuzzy blankets they're all sin them but I don't talk about that but what I want to say is that God commanded Moses to Moshe Rubino to avenge that and to destroy them for for that action because they really undermined they made very wisely a a wedge between God and the Jewish people and I want to talk about a few things here like three topics kind of quickly first I want to read a little bit of lore well there's a little bit of comic book in this week's Torah portion it's not in the Torah portion it's in the Midrash the Torah portion just says that the Jews killed Balaam the Prophet hmm the the Bizzaro prophet the wisdom I that bad guy the you know for really hatching the plan and now we learned that he is the one who hatched the plan for the Midianite girls attack okay he hatched that plan so the Midrash says the mixture says before any of the Jewish soldiers were able to catch him bill up bill um lifted up his arms with his powers of two ma of darkness he transported himself up into the air too high for any arrow to reach him so he was flying alright cool you'll never catch me Jews when he realized that the five Midianite princesses were also in danger he quickly taught them how to fly by magic Wow they all soared up into the air Wow yeah just sounds like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon yeah just imagine like six like like like like like evil jets like MiG's of like of like evil men pin class sohow bilham flew higher and higher he called out to soldiers is there anybody who can fly after him and catch him a man from chef at dawn named Celje flew off chasing bilham soon as bilham realized that he was being pursued what we call a biblical dogfight Wow okay he flew after them tell ya as soon as pilum realized that he was being pursued he changed his direction he sped up words like an arrow disappearing from sight like 9 G's you know he's just he's just you know and he was able he was able to have just a vertical flight so yeah I was disappointed for he was not able to follow him now pinnacles took me follow him he think what are you doing out of gas he just didn't have that same power of like of darkness he just the guy the guy took I told you he went you know a vertical G and was I was able to accelerate upwards they said what now pinnacles took action himself he tracked bilham and followed him pinnacles turn this guy yeah he was Lilly watched him he turned his seats the the the the the diadem the the the forehead plate the golden I bent his headband which has the words holy on to God with the four-letter Tetragrammaton an ineffable name of the God of Israel on it and blazed upon it he tracked bilham and followed him pinnacles turned his seats towards bilham the the seats shot out array and Iron Dome yeah look at like look like a laser shot not a missile no missiles aircraft missile that's but with a laser some laser something that back then they called a laser okay this caused bilham to fall down the holiness of the seats was greater than bilham's power of magic he shot him out of the sky he zapped him out of the sky like an Iron Dome slash Star Wars David slang David's link+ arrested Billa and brought him before emotions baton he was sentenced to death and run through with a sword wait I mean Bill it didn't heal and from very up high anyway it was yeah he was but he was not he was he was only mostly dead I'm just very badly hurt okay okay because arrested bill I'm okay because his body was not buried it rotted burial um bilham's body was not buried it rotted and turns into poisonous snakes Wow okay and what did they do then perilous also shot down the other five princesses and they were slain by Jewish soldiers Oh hard day okay I'm just saying like now the reason I read this is you you you can laugh but to me it's like no this is awesome I love I love that that these stories exists and in many ways like the I like to think of them as the real kind of heroic energy and idea behind these comic books but look through holiness when are we gonna write these comic okay we got to do that but anyway shut shut out of the year it's such a great Israeli version of like a Marvel film right why can't we do that right exactly when are we gonna be Steven Spielberg where is Steven okay Steven get to work Steven Ben Ben Ben Jewish come on all right but then it's so I went comic-book on you just now yes and then one of the things that we learned one of the major groups of laws that we learned from this week's Torah portion is the extensible very opposite of war well not the opposite of work because we have a Jewish principle which is they try to kill us we won let's eat so what we learn is the laws of kashrut issues and from this week's Torah portion that's right amongst the Midianite booty were pans pot pots and types of dishes I don't know if you can crash through the dishes oh well good question mama they had been used by [ __ ] midget' nights for non kosher food which was allowed to use them so Eleazar the son of Aaron taught the laws applying two dishes okay and fajar wants to use a dish that was previously used in a hot not kosher food he must first cashew it it is possible to cast your dishes of all types of metal but not earthenware like you said okay if earthenware dishes were used for hot non kosher food you may never use them how do you cash your dish you have to clean it until it's completely free of dirt or rust then it is dipped into a kettle of boiling water immersing the dish in boiling water cautions it however if it is an object used directly over fire such as a rack or a spit for roasting meat it must be put into the fire to become kosher moreover new dishes and even brand-new metal pots dishes cups or silverware that were manufactured apart from a non Jew must be dipped in a mikveh this causes the utensil to change from a state of 2ma to one of two shot but really it's much more that like when it's passing hands from especially in this case of war but basically when you have a situation where where the dish is becoming like going up as into the property of a Jew or to the Land of Israel for example that kind of going up anyway you have to dip it and the reason I tell you this is that like in the laws of war and how Jewish is this right after the laws of war comes the laws of food you see that Makkah now we're hungry this is a proof that the Torah is Jewish okay that after you kill the Midnight's you gotta figure out how to make their stuff kosher so we kidding of this I got this from a midnight look at this it's beautiful it's really beautiful anyway so so that's that's that the Jews the fighters didn't lose any fighter and they brought bat and they brought gifts to the temple to the Michigan because because it was a miraculous world where no Jews were lost surely when you have superior technology like that laser power and finally one of the big and contentious and tough issues in this week's Torah portion is the story of the tribes of God and Reuven who wants to settle on the Transjordan okay and and they say look we've gotten home we get comfy home right we're home and and it's not so simple to poopoo them because also Moses himself led them in battle and conquered these lands and they conquered it this was the first concrete in a sense God is saying to them of course you conquered it if you conquered it it's the land of Israel right or I didn't tell you to conquer Egypt yeah we're not going around conquering all right but you conquered the the Transjordan the the east side of the east side of the Jordan River they said listen we're home and Moses was very disappointed it was very disappointed extremely disappointed heartbroken that that they chose to stay but he basically made a deal with them saying look you can't now back out of the battle of the conquering of the Land of Israel proper you've got to join up so they said okay we're going to build forts and gates and houses for our wives children and flock and cattle and we'll go in and take part in the seven-year battle for the land of Israel and then go back back to our house and those parts became the Land of Israel afterwards right aren't those parts considered part of the greater land of his absolutely absolutely and again Moses conquered it with God's with God's with God's blessings and assistance of course and it becomes as you say really part of the Land of Israel the caveat though is is the first tribes to have been exiled and a kind of lost connection to the rest of the Jewish people were these two tribes plus a half that Moses Institute in order to keep them connected to Land of Israel half of the tribe of Manasseh so it's it's important to know that that there was a downside to this whole story right there was a disconnect and eventually the first two to lose the connection to the Land of Israel were these tribes at the same time one of the things that you and I have not done is toward the other side of the Jordan supposedly there are amazing amazing Biblical Archaeology in a sense of the Bible and you certainly get to see the Land of Israel from Moses oh yeah and it's so tall up there also it's so much all around the Jordanian mountains so I would love to see that you shall you shelled our land you show and you will bring along your coach our dishes yes and if we have to get into the battle I'll just dunk them in the Jordan River right fine right all right or we'll do all the things that's right so that's that's that's the stuff that we learn from this week's port Torah portion or maybe they'll just be like hey you want to buy some dishes cuz they'll be like we don't get why there's a big war or up in here there's no problem at all let's just everybody relax that's right there's really and then I'll be like that is a nice dish how much does it cost and then they'll be like five D not five dinar and I'm like that's highway robbery I'll buy it for two and then they're like I have children three four yeah then I'm like I have children one and a half and then like okay what about three I'm like deal nice move Matt mauka that was both Middle East normalization and Middle East battle but that's okay we can we can we go you're a warrior for your family Thanks I was really worried in the mist door that's right and as you know I have to quote Jeremy to compel who came up with a great phrase he goes I believe in land for peace you give us our land back and we'll give you a peace yeah okay you give us your lands like Jordan for example we'll give you peace and and you'll be blessed and you'll be blessed through the peace that we're willing to give okay which is which is will create not just peace will create like you know success for you an opportunity for you to really flourish and I I do believe I do believe in my there's different hats that you wear around here and in my less aggressive hat which I have I have an aggressive hat I have a less aggressive an aggressive hat and a non aggressive hat I have a lesyk I said less aggressive not non aggressive less aggressive please don't misquote me nobody here said not non aggressive okay I'm saying in my less aggressive hat towards towards how I think about the region I really do believe that there's prosperity that that can be had for this region and for the children of Abraham and it really will come through a very simple formula those who bless you will be blessed that's the formula bless Israel you will be blessed you individually but more jointly if nations like Saudi Arabia will respect Israel will bless Israel will find the Quranic Islamic way to bless Israel which i think is really what's lacking today I sometimes think they want to they want to it seems like they want to more than ever that's what I'm saying and that's that's what the show is about because normalization is the final frontier Makkah Fletcher I want to thank you so much for
