00:00:00.160 Hi everybody, this is Scott Saad for the Saad Truth.
00:00:05.020 Today, outside of the camera view, my daughter is watching me tape this.
00:00:11.680 Hello daughter.
00:00:12.620 Hi.
00:00:13.760 So she wants to see how the magic works.
00:00:17.700 I wanted to make a few comments about today's demise of Sinwar,
00:00:26.640 who was the quote mastermind of October 7th.
00:00:29.400 I'm not sure how much masterminding it takes to say,
00:00:33.460 go into Israel and rape and kill as many Jews as you can.
00:00:39.220 It doesn't take that much strategic insights.
00:00:42.840 But in any case, today he was killed.
00:00:48.120 And of course, as you know, recently, Nazrallah was killed, the head of Hezbollah,
00:00:53.260 and many other of those wanted guys in Hamas, in Islamic Jihad, in Hezbollah were killed.
00:01:01.800 Now, while one may argue, okay, those were necessary retributive justice,
00:01:09.160 justice, I don't think it will alter much.
00:01:13.400 It's a Band-Aid solution, a necessary one.
00:01:16.880 But it's like trying to put a Band-Aid over a gushing wound you have,
00:01:22.620 which might stop the bleeding.
00:01:24.540 But the reality is that the reason why your wound is gushing is because there are some underlying
00:01:30.120 issues that are causing you to bleed.
00:01:34.080 And if you don't solve those, then the problem will recur.
00:01:37.860 And so I think what's the only...
00:01:42.080 Some of you may remember, I mentioned a while ago two quotes from Golda Meir,
00:01:46.520 who was the prime minister of Israel in the late 60s and early 70s.
00:01:52.100 I don't have the exact quotes in front of me, but she said something to the effect of
00:01:56.160 if the Palestinians lay down their arms, there will be peace.
00:01:59.760 If the Israelis lay down their arms, there will be a genocide.
00:02:04.560 Meaning that the Israelis could kill all the Palestinians, and yet they don't.
00:02:09.160 Whereas if it were possible the other way around, they certainly would do it.
00:02:13.360 So that's number one.
00:02:14.080 Number two that she said is, there will be peace when the Palestinians love their children
00:02:20.280 more than they hate ours.
00:02:22.760 But more generally, what these quotes represent is the fact that the Israelis and Jews in general
00:02:29.940 have no interest in killing all the Muslims around them.
00:02:35.720 As a matter of fact, they would love nothing more than to just be left alone so that they
00:02:41.240 can trace their own trajectory.
00:02:44.080 The reality is that the other group views it as an existential crisis for a Jewish state
00:02:50.540 to exist in that land.
00:02:52.560 It is canonical.
00:02:53.900 It is doctrinal.
00:02:55.360 It is in the religion itself.
00:02:58.400 Once a land has been, quote, ruled by Islam, it is forevermore part of Dar al-Islam.
00:03:08.760 And if you lose it, it is part of Dar al-Harab.
00:03:12.980 Harab means war.
00:03:15.080 So the world is binary according to Islam.
00:03:17.680 There is the house of Islam and the house of war.
00:03:20.720 Anything that is not currently under Islamic authority is under an actual state of war, canonically.
00:03:28.540 So one group would love to see the erasure of another group.
00:03:34.660 That's Palestinians want to see the erasure of Jews.
00:03:39.280 Okay.
00:03:39.720 That is incontestable.
00:03:42.060 It has been going on for 1400 years.
00:03:44.720 Now, the day that Palestinians will say history is such that people gain land, lose land.
00:03:53.000 I am sitting today on land in Canada that at one point was owned by indigenous people, right?
00:03:59.600 Nobody is coming to take me out of my house because every single inch on earth was at some point conquered by someone else.
00:04:09.020 That's called history.
00:04:11.360 Every single society has had to move on, right?
00:04:14.740 Our home in Lebanon was stolen by Palestinians.
00:04:18.480 We had to leave Lebanon.
00:04:20.420 My parents were kidnapped by Palestinian militia, Fatah, but we moved on.
00:04:26.620 Yes, it's an ugly part of our past, but we've moved on.
00:04:30.180 My wife's family faced the Armenian genocide.
00:04:36.240 My grandparents escaped Syria.
00:04:40.500 My brother-in-law's family escaped Alexandria and Egypt.
00:04:44.920 So our families are defined by the fact that we've consistently had to escape the people of perpetual peace and love.
00:04:55.680 But again, we've moved on.
00:04:57.740 We don't hold any ill will against general Muslims or general Palestinians.
00:05:04.000 We realize that the best way to live life is to live a dignified life, a life full of purpose and meaning, and that's the best revenge.
00:05:13.700 So the day that the Palestinians decide that we're no longer interested in killing Jews, we're no longer interested in from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
00:05:25.860 We're no longer interested in global intifada.
00:05:28.400 If we truly want to live in peace, then you will have an unleashing of human capital in the Middle East that is difficult to fathom because the Middle East is full of creative people, educated people.
00:05:43.460 I'm not talking about Jews here.
00:05:44.620 I'm talking about people of all faiths.
00:05:46.400 There is a rich historic reality.
00:05:52.100 There is incredible culture of hospitality in the Middle East.
00:05:56.260 So imagine if you can simply accept the fact that Jews are going to be in that small land that's the size of New Jersey.
00:06:03.720 It's time to move on and to live and coexist.
00:06:08.160 Then the problem will be solved.
00:06:10.140 Killing Sinwar, killing Nazarela is a temporary measure.
00:06:15.280 It's a necessary measure, but it's not going to bring about peace.
00:06:18.860 And of course, the fact that many innocent people have died since Israel has retaliated is only going to create new terrorists and a new cycle of violence and so on.
00:06:29.520 So the most dangerous thing in nature are the parasitic ideas that are in one's mind, right?
00:06:36.480 And so once you get the enemies of the Jews to no longer wish to erase all Jews, then you will have peace and you'll have flourishing.
00:06:48.440 I just want to say one or two other things.
00:06:51.040 Did you know that Sinwar had a brain tumor a few years ago and the Israelis took him?
00:06:58.080 They already knew he was their avowed enemy.
00:07:00.180 They took him and did a life-saving surgery on Sinwar that saved his life.
00:07:09.140 What did Sinwar do to repay them?
00:07:13.540 He was the mastermind of October 7.
00:07:15.880 That tells you everything you need to know about the difference between the two societies.
00:07:20.760 Here's another little piece of fact for you.
00:07:24.020 180,000 Palestinian children are receiving polio vaccinations.
00:07:30.180 Polio vaccinations.
00:07:31.660 You know who is the pioneer who created the polio vaccine?
00:07:35.980 Jonas Salk.
00:07:37.300 You know what Jonas Salk is?
00:07:39.520 He's Jewish.
00:07:41.240 So instead of hating all day and night on Jews, maybe say,
00:07:46.160 thank God that there are Jews that are around to save Sinwar from his brain tumor
00:07:53.040 and to save 180,000 kids who otherwise would have not been inoculated against polio.
00:08:00.180 Take care, everybody.
00:08:01.400 Take care, everybody.
