Summary
Why do we stand with Israel? What does the Bible say about Israel? Why do we call for Israel to cease fire in Gaza? Why does the Torah say that Israel must stop firing on the enemy? Why is it so important that Israel cease fire, stop firing, stop going after the enemy, and stop killing innocent people in the Gaza Strip?

00:00:00.000
but the subject that we're speaking about obviously as all of you know is nothing to
00:00:07.340
laugh about but it needs to be gone over this morning I'm going to be talking about the Israel
00:00:13.620
Hamas war and the subtitle is called responding to the critics and let me explain why why I've
00:00:22.780
entitled the presentation this way and I don't have to repeat it we all know on what happened
00:00:29.860
on Simcha Torah 2023 and we're now seven months past it and all of these seven months past it
00:00:38.120
if you want instant frustration just listen to the news and listen to those who make comments
00:00:45.280
who all of a sudden are what we call armchair quarterbacks all of a sudden they're experts on
00:00:51.180
Israel they're experts on the Middle East they're experts on the Gaza Strip and they can't even find
00:00:58.600
any of those places on a map and they've never even been to any of those places they've never
00:01:06.000
spoken to someone who is Jewish they've never taken the time to actually understand the history
00:01:15.260
and yet all of a sudden they deem themselves experts professionals so so confident that they're
00:01:24.800
willing to spend what would otherwise be beautiful mornings and beautiful days like we're having now
00:01:30.420
here in Calgary and in the province of Alberta and go to places like the campus of the University of
00:01:36.380
Calgary or U of A up in Edmonton and protest against Israel and say things like boycott and divestment
00:01:44.760
and sanctions and yet again having absolutely no idea what they are talking about and I know that over the
00:01:53.760
past seven months because I've spoken with so many in our movement we have wanted to give some type
00:02:01.060
of response to all of this and perhaps maybe you feel well we have a response if anyone asks us why we
00:02:11.200
stand with Israel well that's easy we're believers we read the Bible the Word of God says to stand with
00:02:18.100
Israel so how many of you know we've got this one from a biblical standpoint we've got it Genesis 12
00:02:25.540
3 God says I will bless those who bless Israel I will curse those who curse Israel Psalm 122 6 pray for
00:02:32.840
the peace of Jerusalem they who love her shall prosper by the way uh you know the the word prosper in
00:02:39.280
there you know the Hebrew word for it of course you do it's the most common Hebrew word it's shalom
00:02:43.560
and so it's not talking about monetary prosperity it's talking about having completion and peace in
00:02:50.260
your heart those who pray for the peace of Jerusalem will feel a completeness and will feel total peace
00:02:55.920
in their hearts why because when you pray for the peace of Jerusalem you're praying in accordance with
00:03:00.280
God's will you want what the Lord wants and it's the most wonderful place to be and how about Isaiah 40
00:03:07.220
where the Lord says comfort oh comfort Israel my people so if we are challenged from a biblical
00:03:14.280
standpoint look out because we've got the answer and we back it up with the word of God and that's
00:03:21.660
terrific but have you noticed that the claims that we're hearing from the protesters and others and
00:03:29.660
liberals are claims that we can't answer directly through scripture because the Bible
00:03:36.980
doesn't specifically address those claims claims such as well Israel is a settler occupier state
00:03:44.020
Israel is guilty of genocide Israel is guilty of apartheid Israel is depriving innocent Palestinian
00:03:49.880
civilians of humanitarian aid Israel built walls and checkpoints and fences specifically designed to
00:03:57.580
keep Palestinians out we've been hearing a lot of those comments over and over and over again for now the
00:04:05.940
past seven plus months and maybe those comments are a lot more challenging a lot harder for us to respond
00:04:12.880
to but we need to respond and the time has come and that time is right here and right now first as we open up
00:04:22.800
right here on our first slide as many of you know we have had pro-Palestinian protesters actually you know what
00:04:31.320
let's call this what it is these are not pro-Palestinians these are anti-Israel anti-semite
00:04:37.660
protests let's call it what it is and we've seen it on many of our college campuses here in Canada
00:04:44.280
up in Montreal McGill University saying Israel cease fire stop firing stop going after the enemy
00:04:52.880
why because many of you may know the old saying and it is an old saying but it's repeated over and over
00:04:58.480
again and it has the same formula here's what a cease fire means in the Middle East everybody
00:05:03.360
Israel ceases and the enemy continues to fire you see there's a term in Islam it's a it's an Arabic
00:05:11.280
word called Nasik and and unfortunately this side of the globe doesn't know it so they think cease fire
00:05:18.480
innocent people are getting killed and yes innocent people are getting killed and we'll explain why in a few
00:05:23.180
minutes but they're saying Israel you you need to do a cease fire the world of Islam loves it when college
00:05:32.840
students call for Israel to stop firing the world of Islam loves it loves it because in the writings of
00:05:42.560
what's called the Hadith the writings of Islam it says if you are engaged in a war in a battle with someone
00:05:51.140
encourage promote a cease fire because then when the other side stops firing and you stop firing for
00:06:00.880
a while that will give your side the opportunity to regroup and rearm and buy more weapons and come
00:06:07.660
back at them even stronger the next time and annihilate them you want an even bigger war than you've got
00:06:15.740
going on right now then listen to those college students and have a cease fire they don't know
00:06:22.660
what they're talking about the one in the middle at you uh U of T the University of Toronto U of T
00:06:29.000
students stand with Palestine Hamilton right outside of Toronto a college campus our demands disclose
00:06:35.640
divest boycott declare genocide this one right here uh bottom left from the University of Manitoba right
00:06:43.800
there in Winnipeg my sister you might have heard about this from a couple weeks ago protests on
00:06:48.360
campus and uh of course UBC over in Vancouver and I thought for a while because I spend most of my
00:06:55.900
time when I come to Canada I spend most of my time in Saskatchewan and and Alberta and just between you
00:07:03.120
and me and the walls because you need to hear this from a U.S. citizen I think these two provinces
00:07:07.680
are the best out of all of them just saying okay trust me I mean look I didn't drive through places
00:07:16.020
like Troshu and Drumheller and and Drayton Valley and Tomahawk and Barrymore for nothing I know you guys
00:07:24.180
and so I'm you know when I first saw these things I'm saying thank goodness the nonsense hasn't spread
00:07:32.880
to Saskatchewan and Alberta whoops I spoke a little bit too soon one of my favorite town cities in in
00:07:41.100
in Saskatchewan is uh is is Regina I love the capital I love walking around the provincial building by the
00:07:47.040
lake and I said oh for crying out loud there too now this was right around about a month or so ago where
00:07:53.900
more than a dozen protesters were carrying a Palestinian flag and and rather than gathering at a university or
00:08:01.160
gathering at a provincial building they said let's gather on the train tracks and stop a Canadian
00:08:07.920
Pacific train there's a comedy line in there I don't know what it is but I'm thinking you know
00:08:19.180
I can just imagine I uh no I can't but I'm trying to figure out what was going on in the minds of
00:08:25.520
those students well let's see what can we do to to to help those Palestinians to to to to make them have
00:08:33.560
better lives I don't know let's go on the train tracks for CP rail sounds legitimate to me obviously I'm being
00:08:40.640
very facetious six of those activists were arrested and as I said a few moments ago and you know this you know
00:08:48.240
this because it's been going on now for several weeks here at the University of Calgary and of
00:08:54.200
course at U of A in Edmonton and thankfully thankfully under the leadership of your premier
00:08:59.880
Daniel Smith police took action and basically said okay it's time to get off campus and act like normal
00:09:06.280
again but those things continue to spring up and I said a few moments ago that that we now have an
00:09:15.520
obligation to respond to those false claims and by the way that's not because I say so
00:09:22.860
did you know that's because the word of God says so let me ask you a question before we go on to the
00:09:28.380
next slide uh you all know this bible verse where it says no weapon formed against you shall prosper
00:09:36.600
thus saith the Lord you all know that bible verse right okay so if you know the bible verse I've got a
00:09:42.300
question for you actually two number one is that the entire verse and number two what's the address
00:09:51.340
what verse is it and that's the part where we need a little bit of help so why don't I show it to you
00:09:57.500
next slide actually you can go on to the next slide we'll talk about Pierre Pauliev in just a few minutes
00:10:05.240
Isaiah 54 17 this is part of that verse Isaiah 54 17 begins where it says no weapon formed against
00:10:14.680
you shall prosper thus saith the Lord but that's not the end of the verse it continues you that's you
00:10:20.600
and me and all of us we will refute every voice that is raised up to accuse these benefits actually
00:10:29.960
the Hebrew is even stronger it's that this inheritance is enjoyed by the servants of the
00:10:37.600
Lord do you understand what this is saying let me put the the what I like to say the cookies on the
00:10:42.160
bottom shelf uh how many of you know that if you receive an inheritance that's a good thing
00:10:47.200
how many of you know if you receive an inheritance from God that's a great thing
00:10:51.640
so for all who believe in the Lord God has an inheritance for you if you do the following
00:10:59.080
when there are folks out there speaking nonsense making false claims saying things that are just
00:11:06.580
totally off the wall God says you are to refute them don't be silent don't stand around and say oh my
00:11:16.800
gosh this is terrible I wish someone would do something we are the someones who God calls to
00:11:24.380
have an answer and we get that from the original Hebrew because if you take the term will refute
00:11:29.100
on the bottom you see the Hebrew word rasha and rasha doesn't simply mean no I don't agree with you
00:11:36.020
that's wrong you are to openly condemn those who say such things and the time of course as I said to do
00:11:44.740
that is now now before we do let's go back one slide because I really enjoyed the comments that
00:11:52.100
I heard from conservative Pierre Pauly of a couple of weeks ago about what's going on here in Canada
00:11:57.820
and I said you know I think I want to make this part of the presentation so that you know obviously
00:12:03.280
how the conservatives feel he said almost seven months to the day we witnessed the worst attack on
00:12:09.960
Jewish people since the Holocaust the genocidal death cult Hamas finally someone calls them what
00:12:16.600
they really are has shown us that evil still exists common sense conservatives stand with Jewish people
00:12:23.460
and Israel in their right to destroy Hamas and bring home the hostages the Jewish people have the right
00:12:29.520
to live safely and peacefully in their ancestral homeland and here in Canada where we must stamp out
00:12:37.500
anti-Semitism wherever and whenever it rears its ugly head thank God people are speaking out
00:12:44.540
now in order for us to speak out against the false claims we've got to know what those false claims are
00:12:54.560
and we've got to know how to answer them are you ready okay let's go ahead now two slides onto this slide
00:13:02.080
what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you a list of many of the claims that you have been hearing
00:13:07.460
lately and then the responses that we can give and here's one of the most common when Israel became a state
00:13:15.620
in 1948 it kicked Palestinians out let me give you a little bit of background on this claim my friends
00:13:24.280
and and and by the way uh just for for correct purposes of education I'm going to at least for a while
00:13:30.940
use the term Palestinians and Arabs simultaneously just to clear things up because those who refer to
00:13:38.160
themselves as Palestinians uh mostly they come from countries like Egypt and Syria and Lebanon and Iran
00:13:45.680
and Iraq they are Arabs but I'm using the terms from these false claims so when Israel became a state
00:13:52.380
in 1948 it kicked Palestinians out is the claim May the 14th of 1948 Israel becomes her one and own
00:14:02.360
sovereign state prophesied by the way in Isaiah chapter 66 verses 7 and 8 did you know that and
00:14:09.940
it's actually in that prophecy it not only says can a nation be brought forth in a moment can a country
00:14:16.440
happen and in in a minute yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children
00:14:21.580
and I and we don't have the scripture up there okay but Isaiah 66 verses 7 and 8 is actually a dual
00:14:27.740
prophecy it prophesies that the nation of Israel would become a nation in just one day and that
00:14:33.160
happened on May the 14th of 1948 but in that prophecy and here's the crazy part it says that first the
00:14:42.280
child will be born in this case Israel and then the labor pains would happen okay how many of you women in
00:14:51.300
here are moms raise your hands okay moms how many of you know that's not how it works what happens is
00:15:00.600
first you have the labor pains and then the birth of a child and that's what's so crazy good about Isaiah
00:15:07.220
66 verses 7 and 8 because even Isaiah thinks that's weird he said he said who has ever heard such a thing
00:15:14.140
who has ever seen anything like this that first the child is born and then the labor pains come
00:15:20.940
and yet that's exactly what happened when Israel became a state because when Israel became a state
00:15:26.960
it was easy let's all get together in a nice auditorium building in Tel Aviv David Ben-Gurion
00:15:33.300
presiding over over it he would become the nation's first prime minister and at the end of the day
00:15:38.540
Israel had become its one and only sovereign state easy but then the following day five Arab nations
00:15:47.540
neighboring her and another two by proxy declared war against Israel now at this time even before Israel
00:15:57.820
became a state Israelis and Palestinians or Arabs were living together and guess what they were friends
00:16:06.380
because they all had a common goal how about we do something actually crazy they said how about we live our
00:16:13.380
lives in peace and love our families and just have a prosperous time enjoying everything that life has to
00:16:21.800
offer can you imagine but this is how they lived but when those nations decided that they wanted to
00:16:29.760
annihilate Israel and the reason that they wanted to do it was because they believed that that land Israel was
00:16:35.380
occupying belongs to them Arab radio broadcasters got on the radio in places like Syria and Egypt
00:16:43.060
and broadcast a message in Arabic to the Arabs who were living in Israel at the time and the message
00:16:49.640
went something like this oh our Arab brothers and sisters who are living in Israel they called it
00:16:56.440
Palestine we'll get to that tomorrow we will be liberating Palestine it belongs to us but we can't do it
00:17:03.640
alone we need your help so what we need you to do is we need you to leave your homes and run go over the
00:17:10.260
borders out of Israel come into our countries we will then attack tomorrow and when we do because we have
00:17:16.440
your strength and your help we will emerge victorious and when you get back into Israel you will have not
00:17:23.060
only your home that you live in but you'll also inherit the home of your Israeli neighbor
00:17:27.060
wow on that same day Israeli radio broadcasters got on the air and broadcast a message in Arabic to
00:17:35.460
those same Arabs who were living in Israel at the time and the message was to this effect to our Arab
00:17:41.700
friends and family who are living here in Israel we understand you're being called to fight against us
00:17:47.380
please do not do that we have been living together for so many years in peace we have a great life
00:17:53.420
together we will send our own Jewish sons and daughters to protect you do not fear you don't
00:18:00.620
have anything to worry about just don't run to the borders to fight against us the very next day
00:18:06.760
tens of thousands of those Arabs or those who refer to themselves as Palestinians today
00:18:12.540
ran to the borders and obviously could not get back in because when your goal is to destroy the country
00:18:20.620
kind of the country doesn't want you living there anymore and those people then became refugees
00:18:27.720
for many many years because none of the other countries wanted them either my how things haven't
00:18:33.300
changed over the past 75 years or so and so the story has been well no that's not what happened
00:18:40.920
Israel kicked them out and actually why don't we look over the facts of history let's check out this slide
00:18:49.420
what you're looking at my friends on the left hand side this is a copy of Israel's declaration of
00:18:55.540
independence and during this time the nation of Israel thought it was so important to let those
00:19:02.200
Arabs know do not fear do not fight against us stay with us we're having a great life together
00:19:08.880
let's keep it that way important enough for the government of Israel to put that in their declaration of
00:19:14.300
independence and the article says we appeal Israel appeals to the Arab inhabitants of Israel to
00:19:22.220
get out no stay with us participate with us in building up the state of Israel on the basis of
00:19:31.120
full and equal citizenship we want you to be full and equal citizens with every right that we have
00:19:38.780
and do representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions so if we if Israel didn't
00:19:46.900
kick these Arabs or Palestinians out what happened is the story that I told you true well you know
00:19:53.880
rabbi I'd like to believe it but you're a little bit biased I mean you're Jewish you're on the Israeli
00:19:57.720
side rabbi I'd like to hear what the Arabs would have to say about that you got it next slide let me tell
00:20:05.320
you a little bit about this gentleman everybody his name was Khaled al-Azm he was the prime minister
00:20:11.120
of Syria during this particular very very sensitive period in time he passed away in 1973 but in the
00:20:19.800
mid-1960s he wrote in his memoirs and in his memoirs he said you know I've got to address this subject
00:20:26.420
because there's a lot of misunderstanding he said some people think that Israel kicked the Arabs out
00:20:31.960
some people think that the Arab governments told him to get out what is the truth and he said I'm
00:20:37.780
going to write what the truth is and hopefully that'll dispel any myths once and for all and they
00:20:44.260
do dispel any myths as long as you read what he wrote so why don't we read it he said the Arab
00:20:51.380
governments not Israel the Arab governments told the inhabitants of Palestine to evacuate it and leave
00:20:59.360
for the bordering Arab countries isn't that what I just told you a few minutes ago we not Israel we
00:21:05.760
brought destruction upon a million Arab refugees by calling on them and pleading with them to leave
00:21:13.140
the land folks this is their team saying they did it but yet of course you as believers know this how does
00:21:22.340
the enemy work he accuses you of exactly what he's guilty of don't buy into the lie anymore this is the
00:21:30.120
truth and the best part of it is it's not me saying it it's their team let's go on now to our next slide
00:21:38.280
and look at the next false claim the Israelis are occupiers the land belongs to the Palestinians
00:21:47.260
and and you know right on the surface many of us already know how ludicrous this is and you know
00:21:54.120
how ludicrous this is because you know you know a number of you have been to Israel and when you've
00:22:00.260
gone to Israel some of you have gone to sites whether it be by the city of David or places outside of
00:22:05.320
Jerusalem where what do you see archaeological digs and you know from those archaeological digs that the
00:22:13.120
the more they dig and the farther back they go the more Palestinian coins they find isn't that true
00:22:20.440
good I'm glad you got that because if you took me literally boy would we have to talk after the
00:22:27.760
so what's the story here well well you know rabbi the story is I mean it's called Palestine and that's
00:22:37.560
because the original inhabitants were the Palestinians that's where it got its name and that's what the
00:22:43.220
college students are saying because nobody cares about history anymore let's just wipe history clean
00:22:52.280
because it doesn't suit our purposes and it doesn't suit our argument so let's create a new history
00:22:57.300
uh-uh we're going to go with truth so let me show you our next slide
00:23:03.140
when Yeshua carried out his ministry who was the authority in Israel at the time everybody
00:23:12.280
right Rome and and that Rome had with the Israelites one of the greatest conflicts was over taxes
00:23:23.760
by the way by the way uh do you know and this is the truth uh do you know that if if in the Roman
00:23:31.240
government over Israel at that time do you know that if there was a job opening for a tax collector
00:23:37.800
and and you you know you wanted that job let's say you know you want to apply for the job but you're
00:23:43.300
not the only one I mean you know you've given your resume to Claudius Caesar and all of that and they've
00:23:47.540
decided to call you in for your first interview and you're sitting in that interview room but there's
00:23:52.420
like 10 other people who are applying for the job of tax collector but you've got the edge
00:23:57.980
and the reason you've got the edge is because you know that the one who gets the job is the one who
00:24:05.360
says Rome here's why you should hire me here's why I'm better than those other guys I'm better than
00:24:11.480
those other guys because I promise to bring you more money through collecting taxes in whatever area
00:24:18.540
you set me up in than any of them will combine I'm just being honest that's how you got the job
00:24:24.220
and so that's why the tax collector was so dreaded because once he got the job he had to keep bringing
00:24:30.580
in more and more and more and more money than anybody else and that's why if it's thousands of
00:24:36.540
years ago and we're in Israel and the tax collector comes to your door and knocks on your door and it's
00:24:42.040
may let's say of ad 29 uh that tax was two denarii uh but then he'll come next month the following
00:24:50.520
month June of ad 29 and now it's six denarii just because there's no particular reason it's just
00:24:58.920
more expensive now and the tax collector would say well you know I'm sorry everything's going up
00:25:03.900
prices are going up and uh that's just what it is after a while the Israelites got really tired
00:25:10.680
of this because every time the tax collector knocked on their door they charged a higher rate
00:25:16.200
and so what happened was the Israelites said you know what we're not going to take this sitting
00:25:20.400
down we're going to stage a revolt and they did they would stage revolts against Rome we are revolting
00:25:26.640
against high taxes and at the end of the revolt they would go home and feel really good about
00:25:31.700
themselves we really showed Rome and they felt really great until the tax collector came the next
00:25:37.920
month and knocked on their door and when the tax collector knocked on their door the tax collector said
00:25:43.660
hey you remember last month you know your taxes were eight denarii yes but we really showed you
00:25:49.360
yes you did now it's 20 denarii what why is it 20 dinner well you know when you guys did the revolt
00:25:57.620
do you know how we stopped the revolt we had to bring out the horses and bring out the you know the
00:26:03.040
soldiers and the artillery and food for both and and that cost a lot of money and we shouldn't have to
00:26:08.560
incur the cost we didn't do the revolt you guys did it so now it's 20 denarii
00:26:13.640
which only caused the Israelites to get even angrier and they even told another revolt which
00:26:20.320
caused the tax collector to charge even more the next time which caused the Israelites to get angrier
00:26:25.480
which caused them to hold another revolt which caused even higher taxes and how many of you know
00:26:29.320
this is not working out but that's what happened by the years 130 131 132 the Israelites had had it
00:26:40.360
with Rome and Rome had had it with the Israelites so the Israelites had an idea they said you know
00:26:46.340
this would be really a great great time to ask for the Messiah to come they were asking for the Messiah
00:26:54.480
to come why because they truly wanted to worship the Messiah no because they wanted a Messiah to come so
00:27:00.880
we would destroy Rome and they wouldn't have to keep paying outlandish taxes have you noticed in history
00:27:07.240
that that that that people only tend to really ask for the Messiah to return when things are going bad
00:27:13.060
think about it when was the last time you heard someone say you know what oh my gosh I have a great life
00:27:20.000
beautiful family my children I've got wonderful delicious grandchildren everything is great
00:27:29.300
it's only when things are bad and so because things were that bad the Israelites were pleading begging for
00:27:37.840
the Messiah to come and sometimes when you look hard enough you can find somebody and that's exactly
00:27:43.800
what they did in the early first century they found that guy his name in Hebrew was
00:27:49.000
Shimon Bar Kochba or Simon Bar Kochba and the Hebrew words Bar Kochba mean son of the star
00:27:55.380
and they got real excited with that star part because then they said wait a minute in Numbers chapter 24
00:28:02.200
verse 17 it talks about we see him but not now he's far off he's the star it's a messianic prophecy
00:28:10.480
this guy is called the son of a star he's the Messiah he's come let's send him against Rome so that we
00:28:18.600
can have peace and I don't know maybe like save a couple of toonies every week
00:28:24.100
and so Simon Bar Kochba went into battle against Rome to defeat them once and for all and our team
00:28:32.900
lost and guys when our team lost Rome basically said you know here's what we're going to do
00:28:38.420
we're not just going to raise your taxes again but we're going to do something that's going to teach
00:28:43.340
you a lesson once and for all not to mess ever again with us you know this wonderful land that you
00:28:48.440
refer to as Canaan you refer to as Israel guess what we're going to give it a new name and there's
00:28:53.460
nothing you can do about it we're going to rename it Palestina because Palestina just happened to be
00:29:00.720
the Roman word for drum roll please that was great the Philistines what greater insult could Rome
00:29:08.960
give to the Israelites than to name their country after their arch enemy the Philistines that's where the
00:29:17.040
term Palestine comes from everybody has nothing to do with the Palestinians and even if you try to
00:29:22.160
force it I'm sorry we have something called the passage of time look let me explain if you're a
00:29:27.540
Palestinian or you're an Arab you are a Palestinian or an Arab because you follow the teachings of Islam
00:29:33.340
Islam did not even become a religion did not even come into existence until the year 637 that's 500
00:29:43.000
years after this happened you can't claim an association to a term that occurred 500 years
00:29:51.240
before your religion and your identity even existed wrong no way let's stop buying the lie once and for
00:29:58.080
all next slide and of course as we go on even Arab historians and politicians admit that there's not a
00:30:09.780
connection let's take a look at a couple of voices the first Aouni Bey Abdul Hadi was an Arab politician
00:30:15.560
from 1937 look what he says there's no such country as Palestine oh there you go he's got that part right
00:30:22.720
the second line of what he says that's not well he needs to do a little bit of history lesson he says
00:30:29.660
Palestine is a term the Jews invented come on we would never be the ones to name the land after our
00:30:37.980
arch enemy guy sorry the Romans did it this one there is no such thing as Palestine from Philip
00:30:45.360
Hitti an Arab historian in 1947 and this last quote I'm thinking oh my gosh and I'll explain why in a
00:30:53.080
minute his name was Ahmed Shukiri he was the first chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization so
00:31:00.200
many of the terrorist groups that you're hearing about today Hamas Hezbollah Islamic Jihad Al-Quds
00:31:07.400
Muslim Brotherhood they've kind of all branched out from the PLO his comment is Palestine is nothing
00:31:13.780
but southern Syria oh my gosh somebody needs to tell that to the pro-Palestinian protesters
00:31:20.640
they're all saying to eliminate Israel but no sorry guys you got it wrong Palestine is Syria
00:31:26.440
tell the Hamas to do a 180 they're going in the wrong direction
00:31:29.920
but perhaps one of the most shocking comments that comes from their team is this next slide and I'm so
00:31:39.260
glad that some of you are taking photos of it on your camera phone if there's one slide you're going
00:31:43.540
to want to get it's this one and let me give you a little bit of background because this is shocking
00:31:49.460
and I'm amazed that more people in the world either don't know it don't want about it or ignore it
00:31:54.920
let me tell you a little bit about this man his name was Zaheer Musaim Zaheer Musaim was a a committee
00:32:03.740
member he served on a committee with the Palestine Liberation Organization and in 1977 their team
00:32:12.440
sat down for an interview with the Dutch newspaper the name of the Dutch newspaper in Dutch is called
00:32:19.620
in English that means the Sentinel and the newspaper reporter was so good he asked a great question
00:32:27.300
the newspaper reporter said Mr. Musaim I'm so glad you're here but I have a question to ask you he said
00:32:32.820
you identify as a Palestinian and you say that the Palestinians are from ancient times from days of old
00:32:41.780
but Mr. Musaim if that's the case how come I can't find anyone who has heard the term Palestinian
00:32:51.200
before 1964 what am I missing here and Zaheer Musaim to his credit gave an honest answer he said you're
00:33:00.500
not missing anything see we weren't here before 1964 because here's the real deal his words everybody
00:33:08.680
listen the Palestinian people does not exist oh you bet I'm going to take a pause here and let that
00:33:16.760
sink in because about two months ago Israel's foreign minister his name is Bezalel Smotrich went to
00:33:24.440
Paris to speak to a pro-Jewish group and in his comments he stood there at the pulpit and he said
00:33:30.080
listen everybody I want to let you know the Palestinian people do not exist oh my gosh did he get called out
00:33:37.120
for that one from the EU and Turkey and Arab nations and Arab leaders how could he possibly say
00:33:43.440
something like this this is why we have the problem today he's stirring up this kind of controversy and
00:33:49.120
Bezalel basically said uh excuse me I was quoting your team let me say it again or let them say it again
00:33:57.780
the Palestinian people does not exist that doesn't come from us comes from them the creation of a
00:34:03.840
Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against Israel for Arab unity only for
00:34:11.980
political and tactical reasons do we even speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people
00:34:18.300
Arab national interests demand that we propose the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to
00:34:26.980
oppose Zionism wow do you understand that more than 50 years ago their team told the whole world it's a hoax
00:34:40.940
it's a scam we've made the whole thing up you have been lied to and more than 50 years later so many
00:34:51.300
people are still believing the lie it's time to know history and to know facts folks we can't put up with this
00:35:01.840
nonsense anymore next slide and on this next slide let's look at this next claim that we've been hearing there
00:35:11.800
needs to be a two a state of Israel two states living together harmoniously side by side it'll be a great idea because
00:35:23.420
we've never tried anything remotely like that before yeah we have in fact I can think of at least three times
00:35:31.540
that we tried it before and I'll tell you what happened each time but new idea new thing uh no how about
00:35:39.660
this idea was first tried uh I don't know over a hundred years ago let me show you this map
00:35:47.660
in 1917 1918 world war one thing to end and in the area that we know today of course real which is
00:35:59.040
basically this yellow area over there on the map it still said palestine
00:36:02.880
and uh is jordan today it's known as jordan and uh and uh and on the
00:36:11.640
of a force a different authority known as the ottoman turks they'd been there for 400 years they were
00:36:25.400
pretty entrenched and uh at the end of world war one great britain of all countries said you know
00:36:35.480
we are going to take it upon ourselves to be the ones to kick out the ottoman turks
00:36:41.420
which begs the following question here we have the middle east it's desert great britain is thousands
00:36:49.000
of miles away minding its own business why in the world would great britain have any interest in this
00:36:57.180
particular area of land there's nothing on the ground it's because great britain didn't care about
00:37:02.920
what was on the ground great britain cared about what was below the ground what was it everybody
00:37:09.480
right right so great britain wanted to have authority over that area and power and control but they said you
00:37:16.020
know we'd love to kick out the ottoman turks but we can't do it alone we're gonna need help and so
00:37:23.100
great britain uh said you know why don't we do this why don't we promise the jewish people that
00:37:29.020
yellow strip of land there and we'll say listen if you help us kick out the ottoman turks from the whole
00:37:34.380
whole area over there we'll give you that narrow strip of land and the jewish people said okay let's do
00:37:40.680
it and great britain said to the arabs they said listen if you help us kick out the ottoman turks
00:37:45.960
we'll give you this land it's jordan it's syria there's lebanon up there and the arabs agreed
00:37:51.200
and so with the help of the jews and the arabs great britain kicked out the ottoman turks
00:37:56.780
it worked and then after that how many of you know great britain then had to pay up
00:38:02.560
and great britain said to the jews thank you for helping us out that's your narrow strip of land
00:38:07.600
take it enjoy it it's yours and we did and we were happy and then great britain said to the
00:38:14.940
arabs they said listen we got to tell you those jews are tickled pink they got a narrow strip of
00:38:19.260
land you arabs are going to be even happier because you guys get like three times as much
00:38:23.860
isn't that terrific and they said no and great britain said why they said let me tell you why
00:38:29.840
and the arabs said we'll tell you why because even though you gave us syria and lebanon and jordan
00:38:35.740
you see that other narrow strip of land there that you gave to them sorry we believe that that belongs
00:38:41.200
to us also and since we couldn't get it from you in a diplomatic way we're going to have riots and
00:38:48.300
suicide bombers yes they had that back in the 1920s and we are going to create so much havoc and murder
00:38:54.520
and killing and we're going to wipe out every jew and send them into the mediterranean sea
00:38:59.120
which is crazy because everybody guess what you have here a state of israel and an arab state i believe
00:39:09.860
that was called a two-state solution israel said we're all in arab said no we're not we're going
00:39:16.440
to kill you but you know maybe with the passage of time the ideology would change so let me tell you
00:39:23.700
what happened and don't go on to the next slide yet i'll cue you let me tell you what happened about 30
00:39:28.180
years later because these i mean there were riots and attacks going on arabs told britain uh great
00:39:35.260
britain stop allowing more jews to come into that land from other countries it's only going to make
00:39:40.000
it tougher for us to kick them out and by 1947 30 years later great britain had had it they said look
00:39:47.760
we just came here for the oil we didn't come to babysit you guys we've had enough so we're leaving
00:39:53.840
but great britain said to them don't worry because in our place there will be another force that will come
00:39:59.920
in and they'll work with you guys and and and you'll be able to live together in peace and they'll
00:40:04.480
be fair to both of you trust us you're gonna love them they're called the united nations
00:40:11.020
so 30 years later it's 1947 and the united nations have to has to play peace broker and let me show you
00:40:21.800
what their peace plan was now you can go on to the next slide here it is everybody in 1947 the u.n
00:40:28.980
issued what was called the partition plan what the u.n basically did was this the u.n went to
00:40:35.600
went to the jews in israel and said now look guys you've got one of two choices you can hang on to
00:40:43.040
all of that land that you got in britain's balfour declaration but if you do that you know the neighbors
00:40:49.300
right next to you in this other state they're just going to keep bombing you and blowing you up that's
00:40:53.560
not how you want to live and so the u.n said we've got an idea the idea is we think no not we think we
00:41:01.920
know that those arabs they just want a little bit more land from you and if you just give them a
00:41:08.440
little bit more of your land then you'll have peace trust us we know these things we're the u.n
00:41:15.900
for crying out loud see i don't mind talking like that because like once my trip here in canada is
00:41:23.980
over i can escape to the u.s so you know the forces up here can't get me and so in 1947 what israel did
00:41:32.000
was they said okay here's what we're going to do in our strip of land uh the the blue is what israel
00:41:37.940
retained from the balfour declaration the red was what they said okay you and we'll give this land now
00:41:44.040
over to arabs in the name of peace and did it work no because the very next day the arabs attacked
00:41:50.900
back israel even harder and everybody couldn't figure out why of course you can it's human nature
00:41:57.720
we have a saying in the middle east everybody you don't get the bully to go away if you keep giving
00:42:03.620
him your lunch money so guess what you had over here a second two-state solution
00:42:11.620
israel said yes and once again the arab said no we need to kill you but maybe the third time will
00:42:20.500
be the charm because you would think after twice that you know somebody would have learned something
00:42:26.260
unfortunately that didn't happen let's go on to the next slide let me tell you a little bit about it
00:42:30.860
we fast forward now some what is this 50 years 60 years later and it's the year 2005 and in 2005
00:42:37.720
israelis were justifyingly living on their land in the gaza strip some 15 000 to 25 000 israelis
00:42:47.700
living in the gaza strip and israel's prime minister at the time was named ariel sharon and
00:42:53.420
prime minister ariel sharon said listen you know we just had another intifada these terrorists coming
00:43:00.080
in and blowing us up on buses and coffee cafes and it's just terrible and it's got to stop
00:43:05.820
and under pressure from some of his cabinet members prime minister ariel sharon said listen
00:43:11.400
i've got a great idea on how we can finally have peace with them let's give them some more land
00:43:20.420
because like that always works right apparently they didn't learn a lesson of history and so in 2005
00:43:29.100
ariel sharon got on israeli radio with a message to all of the israelis who were living in the gaza
00:43:35.260
strip at that time and basically says listen yes this is our land yes i know you have homes here
00:43:41.720
you have land here you work here you raise your children here you have your life here i understand
00:43:48.020
all that but sorry now you need to leave it all and start your whole life over and get out
00:43:54.960
he said look i understand that that's that's a great price to pay but this is a sacrifice we must
00:44:02.120
make so that we may have peace once and for all and so on particular day in 2005 guys we got out
00:44:11.820
and it wasn't easy look at the young mother in the middle holding on to her daughter they're both in
00:44:17.360
tears you see the expression on the faces of these israeli police women they don't want to do this
00:44:22.400
many of them were leaving living in the gaza strip at all once they escort her out they've got to leave too
00:44:27.640
when we left we said all right let's let the palestinians arabs come into the land whatever it
00:44:36.200
is and we said you know what let's do something even more for them to show them that we're serious
00:44:42.860
and that we sincerely and genuinely want to live in peace let me show you what we did it's on our next
00:44:48.980
slide in the gaza strip at that time we had a wonderful wonderful greenhouse business was bringing
00:44:55.800
in millions and millions of dollars every year to the economy there and there was thought among the
00:45:02.960
people saying well we're leaving we should take these greenhouses with us and and then they agreed
00:45:08.820
they said you know what let's leave the greenhouses here leave the hoses here it's everything intact
00:45:13.860
the way it is when these palestinians come in they're going to need money coming in asap
00:45:21.700
let's make that happen for them too let's bless them so that they're not in need so we left them
00:45:28.280
the greenhouses and we got out and the next day the palestinians came in and when they came in they
00:45:36.000
saw those greenhouses and on our next slide let me show you what they did with them boom
00:45:40.500
and when the newspaper reporters saw this they they said to these arabs these palestinians they said
00:45:50.160
yeah it's like you took millions and millions of dollars and just destroyed it what why would you
00:45:56.800
do that to yourselves we don't understand this is bringing in loads and loads of money to help your
00:46:01.580
economy why we don't get it and the palestinians gave them several answers the first being they said
00:46:08.300
we'll tell you why number one we don't want anything from those jews i said number two what
00:46:16.000
we don't need greenhouses we don't need money you don't understand we don't need money we're getting
00:46:22.660
money from turkey and qatar and iraq and syria and egypt we've got all the money we need we don't need
00:46:28.740
money for that business and reason number three that's not the kind of business we want taking up on
00:46:34.460
our land see on our land now we have another business in mind that we believe will be even
00:46:40.880
more profitable for us let me show you the business they set up in place of the greenhouses next slide
00:46:46.860
boom there it is and that business has been a business for more than 17 years since
00:46:55.480
and yet so many politicians around the world and yeah here in canada are saying we should try for a
00:47:04.380
two-state solution because it always works let's see who's the latest next slide oh well before we get
00:47:12.180
to the latest let me show you why it won't happen or why it can't happen it can't happen because even
00:47:18.580
the terrorist group hamas says they don't want it they're simply echoing what's been echoed from the
00:47:25.500
arab world for the past hundred plus years in the hamas charter the revised charter of 2017 let me tell
00:47:32.160
you what their remarks say about a two-state solution it says israel will exist until islam lives next to
00:47:39.100
it side by side nope sorry thanks for playing until islam obliterates it elsewhere in their charter they
00:47:45.680
give the borders for their state so this is their state now so here are the borders for their state
00:47:51.920
because remember we want our state in their state they said okay that's fine here's their state so
00:47:56.320
let's see what the borders of their state are in this two-state solution they say palestine
00:48:00.000
their country extends from let's see the river jordan in the east okay to the mediterranean in the west
00:48:06.380
and from lebanon and north and to egypt in the south that's the home of the palestinians there
00:48:14.180
shall be no recognition of the legitimacy of the zionist entity so that's their state that they want
00:48:19.500
there's a little problem with that those borders that they just gave you see there's another state
00:48:26.300
in those borders right now it's called israel and the third quote peaceful solutions to resolve this
00:48:34.380
issue are contrary will not be accepted to the beliefs of the hamas islamic resistance movement
00:48:42.100
they've told us over and over again it's not going to happen they don't want it we've tried
00:48:47.080
it three times it's never worked so why in the world on our next slide is our prime minister saying
00:48:54.020
this canada's position is crystal clear we believe the only way forward for the region indeed the only
00:49:01.280
way forward for a safe and secure israel is to have a palestinian state that is also safe and secure
00:49:06.940
with internationally recognized borders we believe in a two-state solution i just want to find out
00:49:14.100
something and i need you to answer this question because i live in the u.s he keeps saying that as
00:49:19.340
far as canada is concerned so he's kind of bunching everybody up in there canada wants a two-state
00:49:25.840
solution last i checked nobody speaks for me i just want to find out uh uh when he says canada's
00:49:32.600
position is that your position okay thank you i just just i just you know want to be sure because
00:49:40.380
that way i could you know go back to the u.s and sandy can say so how was your time in canada i say
00:49:45.340
sweetie my time in canada is always wonderful because despite what the prime minister says the
00:49:50.700
vast majority of people that i associate with thank god they're normal okay let's go on next slide
00:49:56.580
next claim israel is intentionally killing innocent palestinians civilians oh my god would somebody
00:50:08.600
please tell those pro-palestinian protesters once and for all that when the gaza health authority
00:50:16.540
reports that now some 40 000 innocent palestinians have been killed that that gaza health authority
00:50:25.440
is hamas would somebody open up their eyes and would somebody tell them that of course hamas is
00:50:33.480
going to inflate the figures because of course they know that will increase hatred against israel
00:50:39.220
which is exactly what they want will somebody tell those college students whose parents are paying
00:50:45.820
one hundred thousand dollars per year canadian that while they learn a lot in college they need to
00:50:54.180
learn the definition of a word called propaganda i'm just calling this out for what it is everybody
00:51:02.420
but let's go on israel is intentionally killing innocent palestinian civilians let's really get
00:51:10.140
into this once and for all next slide so here in our next slide you may remember that when israel
00:51:17.000
responded to the massacre and they said you know we've got to go get those those hamas militants
00:51:22.340
we're going to go after them but it's not as easy as it sounded because the gaza strip is an area of
00:51:28.780
141 square miles it's not a lot uh 25 miles north to south six miles across but get a load of this
00:51:39.100
a population in that small area two and a half million people that's like living on top of everybody
00:51:48.040
and here's the problem when you're living in that dense a community that means you've got civilians
00:51:54.500
and hamas militants living right next door to each other and ops sometimes they're one in the same
00:51:59.900
a lot more than you know and so israel said well what we've got to do is yeah we want to get hamas
00:52:06.800
we want to get the bad guys in the northern part of the gaza strip but if we go after the bad guys we're
00:52:11.960
going to hit the innocent people how how do we do this i said wait a minute here's what we'll do
00:52:17.220
and by the way this isn't the first time israel did this in 2014 also israel said let's fly planes
00:52:23.320
over the northern part of part of the gaza strip and from those planes drop left hand corner over there
00:52:29.440
those leaflets written in arabic and those leaflets were meant for the palestinian civilians
00:52:37.020
telling the palestinian civilians look the bad guys are here we've got a right to defend ourselves
00:52:42.640
we're going after the bad guys we don't want to hit you so we're giving you this leaflet and we're
00:52:48.760
putting you on notice please get out and by the way israel did more than that they even called people
00:52:55.240
to say and and when they call people they didn't just say listen we're going to attack they would say
00:53:01.060
okay here's what we're going to do just so you know we're going to attack uh this building the third floor
00:53:08.800
apartment 6e in the kitchen at 4 19 p.m and 32 seconds
00:53:16.420
so get out and of course when the attacks came on the north gaza after head israel had dropped thousands
00:53:26.000
if not hundreds of thousands of these leaflets israel went after hamas and then it was reported
00:53:31.960
of course by the gaza health ministry of course because they run the news too how convenient it was
00:53:39.600
reported that that after the attack israel had killed thousands of innocent palestinian civilians
00:53:46.340
how could israel do that oh i don't know how could the whole world ignore hundreds of thousands of
00:53:52.120
leaflets that israel dropped telling everybody to get out and how could the world not ask the
00:53:57.000
question if israel told them to get out why didn't they get out they did get out but hamas told them
00:54:04.060
to get back in because hamas knew that the more deaths that you have the more the world hates israel
00:54:11.700
and if you have to sacrifice yourself for the cause of hamas that's how you do it don't believe me
00:54:17.800
their words hamas in response to the leaflet said to the palestinian civilians in the northern part
00:54:24.080
of the gaza ignore the leaflets and stay put in your places we will die don't leave and even if you
00:54:32.360
wanted to leave you couldn't because if you got out of your house and tried to go away there would
00:54:37.000
be hamas soldiers right over there with ak-47s ready to take you out saying you get back in there right
00:54:43.660
now you can't leave you can't preserve your lives go back there and die but again listen don't believe
00:54:50.660
the rabbi wouldn't it be great if hamas themselves admitted that they sent innocent people to their
00:54:56.300
deaths by the way i believe there's a term for that it's called genocide guess what they admitted
00:55:01.540
it continually and i'll give you their words and i'll show you who they are for whole world to see
00:55:08.360
next slide the gentleman on the left behind the podium his name is fati hamad he's a spokesman for
00:55:15.640
hamas so is the guy sitting in the chair on the right his name is sami abuzuri and here are their
00:55:21.760
comments that have been said over and over and over they said quote we have formed human shields
00:55:31.060
who of the men and the strong men now women and children world doesn't care when strong men die
00:55:37.660
but women and children die that's that's how we get hatred against our our enemy we call upon women
00:55:43.460
and children to sacrifice themselves we say to israel the zionist enemy as you desire life we desire
00:55:50.440
death so so here's how crazy this whole thing is everybody you've got israel which has constantly
00:55:57.860
taken pains to get innocent people out of harm's way you have hamas which has basically said we admit
00:56:06.560
to the world that we send our own people intentionally to their death so logically in a perfect world which
00:56:12.600
was gone centuries ago logically people would say oh my gosh if there's anybody who should be accused
00:56:19.160
of genocide it's not israel it's hamas logically that's what people should say but unfortunately and
00:56:25.400
listen paul spoke about this to timothy you know this paul said timothy and i'll paraphrase here he
00:56:30.540
said you know in the last days people are actually going to lose their minds they won't endure sound
00:56:37.680
doctrine they won't endure common sense they're just going to listen to those things that make them
00:56:41.780
feel good and already agree with their preconceived notions how do we know those days are here here's a
00:56:48.020
perfect example look at the next slide boom you've got to be kidding me
00:56:52.340
next slide after that now the reason that i put up this statement from our minister of foreign
00:57:01.320
is because um on the one hand uh our our minister minister jolie uh was commenting on south africa
00:57:13.660
and she correctly basically says here in in summary she says look we're we're not citing we're not
00:57:25.760
buying into the idea that south africa says israel is committing genocide we're not doing that we're
00:57:31.820
not going that far and she did that and that was good here's the other thing however that was done in
00:57:38.400
ottawa that was not so good the other thing that was not so good is that even though she didn't agree
00:57:44.380
that the case against israel of genocide as yet is legitimate she in parliament about two and a half
00:57:50.120
weeks ago said you know until this thing is all fleshed out we're going to ban any further weapons
00:57:56.840
and arms sales to israel so israel's paying the price for this nonsense anyway yeah next slide
00:58:05.320
and next claim israel is engaging in apartheid i love to hear this one i mean i don't love to hear
00:58:12.080
this one but i love to hear this one because it's a sign of the times because the vast majority i've
00:58:19.220
spoke of people i've spoken to who accuse israel of apartheid they don't know what the word apartheid
00:58:24.680
means in fact and it's on youtube somewhere there's a youtube video of a gentleman and he's jewish
00:58:30.780
but he doesn't blow his cover and he's in new zealand and he goes over there's like um i don't
00:58:36.020
know some type of a public event people setting up tents and booths and there's a pro-palestinian booth
00:58:42.040
and in that pro-palestinian booth they have a banner that says israel is guilty of apartheid and there's
00:58:47.880
a woman sitting there in the booth and so the man goes from booth to booth and he goes in he says hi how
00:58:52.480
are you and she says i'm fine she he said can you tell me a little bit about your booth and she says
00:58:56.920
yes we we we are we support palestine and israel is guilty of apartheid so there you have it he said
00:59:03.780
oh okay he said i have a question for you all this is new to me what what what helped me understand
00:59:09.480
what exactly is apartheid i i i don't know can you tell me and she said well you know i'm i'm really
00:59:17.960
not the one equipped to be able to answer that question uh but you can go to our website and they'll
00:59:23.740
tell you more so why don't i give you the definition of what apartheid really is and then
00:59:31.180
we'll see if israel is doing it next slide apartheid is a policy or system of segregation or discrimination
00:59:38.060
against someone on the grounds of race color creed culture natural origin that's apartheid so basically
00:59:44.420
israel is being accused of discriminating against palestinians because they're palestinians because
00:59:49.640
they're different than israelis and the first thing that should come to your mind is wait a
00:59:54.760
minute wasn't this already settled in 1948 with the declaration of independence where israel told
01:00:01.180
the world hey listen you arabs you palestinians don't leave we want you here and you will have
01:00:07.480
all the rights of citizens that we do has that declaration all of a sudden been thrown out did israel
01:00:14.280
say forget about it no in fact let me tell you what's going on in israel today and then you tell
01:00:19.920
me if it's apartheid next slide here are some facts everybody fact 20 of israel's population one out of
01:00:28.180
every five people who is a citizen of the nation of israel identifies as an arab muslim palestinian one out
01:00:36.900
of five and yes they enjoy the exact same rights that israelis do as citizens for example fact number
01:00:47.260
two did you know that one of israel's supreme court justices is a palestinian arab muslim palestinian
01:00:52.740
do you remember during the time of transition when benjamin netanyahu was out as prime minister for
01:00:58.440
about a year and then he came back in and during that year you had a prime minister by the name of
01:01:02.820
naftali bennett did you know that one of the guys in his administration the housing minister was an
01:01:09.440
arab muslim palestinian yeah the world seems to have forgotten that for some reason how convenient
01:01:13.960
fact number three on israel's knesset of 120 members 10 of them identify as arab muslim palestinian
01:01:22.320
and about oh 10 12 years ago harvard university did a study where they asked arabs palestinians living
01:01:28.920
in israel they said would you rather live in israel than your own home arab countries and they said
01:01:34.120
look not only would we rather live in israel than one of our arab countries we'd rather live in israel
01:01:39.300
than in any other country on the face of the planet we love it here we live in peace it's wonderful we
01:01:44.880
have all the luxuries of an industrialized nation and the money that we get here for doing our jobs
01:01:50.540
we get paid so much better than we would if we were in judea or samaria or the gaza strip
01:01:55.840
does any of this any of this sound like apartheid to you does to the radicals doesn't it next slide
01:02:03.900
the checkpoints and walls israel built this will be the last claim everybody the checkpoints and
01:02:10.380
walls israel built prevent the movement of palestinians in and out of the country and keep
01:02:15.120
palestinians in an open air prison we've been hearing this a lot and guess what this is a direct
01:02:23.520
quote i didn't craft this quote or write it up i said oh my gosh i cannot believe what this person
01:02:29.360
just said i'm going to quote them word for word why am i quoting them word for word because they're
01:02:35.800
just not an everyday ordinary joe person there's somebody who should know better they are a christian
01:02:41.160
pastor in brandon manitoba brandon manitoba has a church and i won't mention the pastor and i won't
01:02:49.700
mention the church because you'll be able to figure it out but i was engaged in an email conversation
01:02:55.700
with a pastor and and we're talking about israel and then he says he says yeah he said i got a big
01:03:00.900
problem with israel i said what he said there it is and i couldn't believe it yeah brandon manitoba
01:03:06.800
and so when he said this checkpoints and walls you know israel is keeping palestinians out of the
01:03:13.700
country by those checkpoints and the first thought that came to my mind is man you obviously have
01:03:18.860
never been to israel because if you've been to israel you would see that if like 20 percent of
01:03:23.880
israel's population is palestinian and israel supposedly trying to keep palestinians out
01:03:29.300
how many of you know israel is not doing a very good job
01:03:32.440
and i said something else i emailed him back and and i sent him the information on this next slide let
01:03:41.500
me show it to you and on the right hand side of this slide let me tell you what you're looking at
01:03:46.200
here this is a checkpoint to come in from judea samaria the gaza strip etc and all these guys who
01:03:53.140
are coming in all these folks yeah they're palestinians why are they letting them in and why
01:04:00.600
pastor is israel allowing 350 000 palestinians to pass through those checkpoints every single
01:04:11.180
week some of them to go to work others to pray on the temple mount others to receive medical care
01:04:18.020
doesn't seem like we're keeping them out and guess what israel doesn't want to keep them out
01:04:22.980
because they want to come in for peaceful purposes israel has no problem with them but i'll tell you
01:04:28.580
that pastor kind of is right in a sense because israel is keeping there are palestinians who israel is
01:04:34.260
keeping out he's right let me tell you who they are they're the terrorists who are coming in israel
01:04:40.020
not to work not to pray not to receive health care but to kill innocent people because that's
01:04:45.780
exactly what was happening everybody before those walls and fences and checkpoints went up which is
01:04:51.000
the reason israel had to put them up in the first place because before they went up you had palestinian
01:04:57.040
terrorists flooding over into israel shooting innocent people up and what they failed to recognize what
01:05:03.760
these terrorists failed to recognize is i guess nobody taught them that 20 of israel's population
01:05:09.060
is palestinian so they're just coming in there spraying bullets at every everything not realizing
01:05:14.180
that there's a 20 chance that they're killing one of their own and i said pastor you know what else this
01:05:20.240
may come as a shock to you but here's what you need to know since the checkpoints were built fewer
01:05:25.140
innocent israelis and fewer innocent palestinians living in israel have died i said pastor what do you think we
01:05:31.040
should do should israel take the walls back down and that way the death toll can go back up
01:05:35.520
i never heard from them again next slide through all of this here's just one more
01:05:53.200
last one israel has been depriving palestinians of food and water and electricity etc no actually
01:06:11.020
israel has provided free food and water and electricity to gaza for years most of gaza's
01:06:16.580
water is unfit to drink why because the mass stole the metal from the water pipes underground to make
01:06:21.780
rockets yeah that might cause a problem existing pipes are falling apart the billions of dollars
01:06:27.780
that gaza receives annually and foreign aid could fix that but the money is used instead to build 350
01:06:33.780
miles of terror tunnels and on artillery to annihilate israel you know this is true you've seen the
01:06:39.420
tunnels next slide we're coming to a close here everybody why israel most hated nation on the face of
01:06:46.480
the earth jewish people we make up less than one percent of the world's population we're the most
01:06:53.040
hated people on the face of the earth israel has its doors open to anyone and everyone who wants to
01:06:59.080
come and live in peace why is she the most hated it doesn't make any logical sense but when something
01:07:05.980
doesn't make any logical sense automatically by default it makes a hundred percent biblical sense
01:07:12.360
and so does this one and i'm going to give you that one bible verse that explains it all here it is
01:07:17.500
next slide genesis 3 15 i will read you this verse and unpack it and then you'll say now i've got it
01:07:24.120
it says and i will put hostility between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed
01:07:30.880
he shall fatally bruise your head and you shall only bruise his heel that's it everybody got it no you
01:07:36.420
don't because i didn't give you the context god is speaking this is the garden of eden the serpent has
01:07:43.600
just tempted eve to eat the forbidden fruit and now she's bringing it to adam and boy is god upset
01:07:49.240
and so god calls out the serpent and he says you know what you just started you just started an end
01:07:55.320
times war the war of armageddon let me tell you what's going to happen in that end times war one who
01:08:01.160
will come from you let's just call him satan the devil because that's who he is is going to be
01:08:06.280
engaged in an end time battle with check this out everybody the seed of a woman okay time out that's
01:08:14.560
weird biblically when a child is born it's the man who has the seed in fact the only way there is one
01:08:21.200
way though that it's possible for a woman to have the seed you know what way that is if she's giving
01:08:26.380
birth to a child without the aid of a man huh i believe we have a term for that it's called the
01:08:31.220
virgin birth see in the messianic movement when we refer to the virgin birth we isaiah 7 14 therefore
01:08:37.600
the lord himself shall give you a you know son name shall be called virgin shall conceive wow isaiah
01:08:43.740
7 14 yes that's a prophecy of the virgin birth and we think that's the earliest one no it's this one
01:08:48.680
and so a long time ago the devil was put on notice that the one who would fatally bruise him that
01:08:54.560
would bring about his demise and demise and destroy them would be the king of the jews but in order
01:09:00.340
for jesus for yeshua to destroy him before yeshua comes to house satan yeshua's first stop is the
01:09:06.900
mount of olives in jerusalem so should it surprise any of us that the devil's twisted thought is okay
01:09:13.940
well first what i'm going to do is since he's the king of the jews i'm going to have a vested interest
01:09:18.860
in specifically going after the people of his line the jewish people and secondly let's see so he's
01:09:26.260
going to destroy me but in order for him to destroy me he's got to come to israel first wait this is
01:09:32.120
perfect i've got a great idea if i can convince the world to have this irrational hatred of israel
01:09:38.300
and destroy israel when they do then there won't be in israel for yeshua to come back to
01:09:46.080
therefore he won't be able to come back so he won't be able to get me and i win boom you want to
01:09:52.220
know why there's anti-semitism and hatred of israel and the jewish people we've had it for thousands
01:09:57.140
of years right in genesis 3 15. next slide out of this i got this question is the israel hamas war a
01:10:06.760
prophetic sign because the day after this happened i had so many people calling rabbi i think this is
01:10:11.980
this is it the ezekiel war the war of gog and magog war gog and look the minute anything crazy
01:10:19.240
happens everybody's gog and magog it's a gog and magog war you know i cut my finger it's a gog and
01:10:24.580
magog war i don't know why people are doing this read your bible
01:10:30.620
because just prefacing the gog and magog war there at least well there are a couple of things to that are
01:10:39.840
supposed to happen but two things definitely have to happen they're not happening right now
01:10:45.280
one is it says israel will be attacked from the far north that's not happening folks yeah israel is
01:10:53.200
being attacked from southern lebanon and southern lebanon is north of israel is it far no let me show
01:10:58.700
you how far southern lebanon is from israel watch my feet okay thank you i'm serious that's it that's
01:11:06.260
not far north but secondly it says that the gog and magog war will be preceded by a time where
01:11:12.620
everybody in israel is saying we feel great we live in peace and safety do you really think that
01:11:19.340
anybody is saying that right now therefore this can't be speaking of the gog and magog war the
01:11:25.640
prophecies don't match but i'll tell you something that may get us a little bit closer and just might
01:11:31.420
it's on our next slide and it's this one psalm 83 verses 5 through 9 talks about a coalition of
01:11:37.600
nations coming against israel i think this is a lot closer to what we're seeing right now i'll read you
01:11:44.140
the verses we'll see the ancient names of these people groups and then hold on to your seats because

01:12:51.460
i think much much closer to looking at this before we go on to our next slide and i'll cue
01:12:57.300
you guys back there i'm about to to close to continue here uh i believe immediately south of
01:13:04.900
here is the u.s state of montana in fact i'm positive of it so if you go due south of calgary
01:13:10.120
lethbridge you're ending up in montana and about 12 13 years ago um i was asked by a group of pastors
01:13:17.260
to come up to montana for the governor's prayer breakfast to be the keynote speaker they said we
01:13:22.300
want you to come and we want you to talk about why we and not only as a state but also as a nation
01:13:27.820
needs to bless israel i said you guys want to bless israel i'm coming i'm already halfway on the plane
01:13:33.980
and then so i go up the capital of montana it's a beautiful town called helena and and the event was
01:13:40.340
held on a shabbat morning at a place called carol college beautiful campus and i go in there and
01:13:46.060
uh about an hour before i'm i'm i'm to speak dignitaries from all over the state i think we
01:13:50.980
probably had i don't know 1300 1500 people there and i'm just meeting as many folks as i can and
01:13:56.200
you know the rabbi jack we're really glad that you're here i had a woman representative come over
01:14:01.240
to me her her position as a politician would be let's say equivalent to here in canada let's say
01:14:07.840
somebody being like an mp you with me on this okay so she came over and she said rabbi jack i'm so
01:14:14.120
glad that you're here she said i just want to let you know there are protesters outside
01:14:20.820
and the first thought that occurred to me was montana
01:14:26.360
there's like nobody in montana you guys don't have enough people to have protesters
01:14:33.700
and i you know i thought from in montana i said said thank you for letting me know i said you know
01:14:42.760
what i said i told her i am going to walk outside and i am going to confront those protesters she said
01:14:52.900
no no no we don't want to have anything happen to you she said don't do that i said it's okay
01:14:59.040
i'm from new york i did i did i don't care i did and and i got all excited so you know i reached
01:15:08.800
into my pocket and i took my cell phone out because the first thing i said i wanted to do
01:15:12.340
i'm going to go out and take a photo of this group of protesters and after i do i'm going to text that
01:15:18.080
photo back home to my wife sandy and i say honey look what your valiant husband did
01:15:23.260
here in this violent state of montana i have taken a photo of this this group of protesters so i went
01:15:32.260
outside and i took the photo of the protesters and i sent that photo home to my wife and i have saved
01:15:40.120
that photo for all of you to see today how your visiting guest rabbi confronted this vicious violent
01:15:47.020
group of protesters we'll show you the slides at the count of three one two three
01:16:09.980
so i'm looking at these two and and even before even before i started reading the signs
01:16:18.580
i'm looking at the two of them and i said i thought to myself he said i you know i know i've never seen
01:16:24.900
these people before but i said something about them looks familiar i don't know what it is i couldn't
01:16:31.220
put my i couldn't place it and then i said wait a minute yes i got it there they are next slide
01:16:46.200
okay so on to the next slide now which is the slide you just saw so we'll get back to these two
01:16:53.560
so now i'm looking at their signs and i see the guy is sitting down there and he's holding up a sign
01:16:57.800
that says christ is peace and i said i love your sign he said why thank you i said you're so welcome
01:17:03.820
it's like protest is like we're ready to go out for high tea for crying out loud
01:17:07.120
and then i look at the woman and she's holding up a sign that says free palestine
01:17:14.220
plus she's wearing the kerchief which got me even more alarmed okay now let me qualify here so you
01:17:21.600
don't get the wrong idea i think that a woman wearing a kerchief is a beautiful thing i think
01:17:27.460
however that if a woman wears a kerchief and holds a free palestine sign at the same time you got
01:17:34.160
problems just being honest and so i said to her i say i don't like your sign as much as i like his
01:17:41.220
but then i said can you tell me why you're holding up that sign and she started wrapping off the answers
01:17:47.860
and the objections and they are pretty much the exact same false claims that i've shared now with
01:17:54.180
you that we all have answers to and i said okay you know occupiers and and genocide and apartheid and
01:18:00.600
walls and checkpoints and and depriving innocent palestinians of this and this and this and i said
01:18:05.320
okay i said uh can i ask you a few questions she said yes sure i said all right um can you tell me
01:18:12.720
about something that was called the balfour declaration she said i don't know it's okay i said how about the
01:18:22.360
do you know what the united nations partition plan of 1947 was she said i don't know i said what
01:18:30.200
happened in the gaza strip in 2005 she said i don't know who was zaheer mussein who was only be
01:18:37.920
ben hadid i don't know i don't know i don't know and i don't know every single question that i asked
01:18:46.500
her logical questions pertaining to the subject that she's holding not me she's holding a sign about
01:18:53.220
and she couldn't answer any to which i asked her one final question i said then why are you holding
01:19:02.640
up that sign doesn't it bother you in the least that you are holding up a sign and taking a stand
01:19:11.060
on a cause that you just admitted to me you don't know anything about tell me that doesn't bother you
01:19:17.740
one bit and she couldn't answer i said i'll tell you what do yourself a favor go home do the research
01:19:29.640
look through history open up a bible you want fact it's available for you in those things and i promise
01:19:37.460
you if you do that and do the research and do this studying instead of just arbitrarily taking a
01:19:43.300
position because it sounds good if you do the right thing i promise you you will never be out anywhere
01:19:50.080
holding a sign up like that ever again do i know whether she listened or not i don't know but i do know
01:19:56.720
this it's our job to present it's god's job to convict
01:20:01.680
but before god convicts we have to present we haven't really been able to do that because we
01:20:11.260
haven't gotten the answers to these false claims until now and aren't you glad that you did
01:20:23.120
let me call uh close us in a word of prayer and then after that uh rabbi if it's still okay because
01:20:31.660
i know we've probably gone over time um i'll close with those two songs would that be all right
01:20:37.140
our father and our king lord of course we've all all of us have been frustrated as to what began
01:20:45.240
on october 7 2023 what was supposed to be a joyous festival simchat torah not only in israel but
01:20:52.700
around the world and in the months since we have heard so much disinformation and so much misinformation
01:20:59.120
and as rabbi and i now we're we're talking about this several times and he's absolutely right you are
01:21:05.560
rabbi cal and jan that there are so many of these college protesters are saying from the river to the sea
01:21:11.760
palestine will be free they have no idea what river it is they have no idea what sea it is and yeah
01:21:16.860
apparently they have no idea what or where palestine is lord give them ears to hear
01:21:23.960
give them eyes to see and use us lord god because you gave us a commandment in isaiah 54 17
01:21:34.280
when people say this stuff let's respond to it and not keep silent because all too often in our
01:21:40.920
society today silence is perceived as agreement and we'll be the first lord to declare right here right
01:21:47.940
now at best shekinah on this wonderful morning no we don't agree and no we will not keep silent
01:21:54.880
anymore we thank you lord we give you all the glory honor and praise by shem yeshua ha-mashiach
01:22:00.840
in the name of yeshua our messiah and everyone agreed and said amen
