  1. 0:00Melanie Phillips is a brilliant
  2. 0:01journalist and writer who has a such a
  3. 0:04good ability to just puncture lies with
  4. 0:07simple clear statements of facts and
  5. 0:09truth. Here she is on the trigonometry
  6. 0:11podcast where she explains the history
  7. 0:13of Israel and the Palestinian quote
  8. 0:15unquote cause. She explains what happens
  9. 0:17in simple terms to Constantin and his
  10. 0:20other uh co-hosts who uh were at the
  11. 0:24time uh a little bit oblivious to some
  12. 0:26of the truths around the conflict in
  13. 0:29this sense that for those who say well
  14. 0:30Israel's just created because of the
  15. 0:32Holocaust and they displaced the people
  16. 0:34because of the Holocaust. Here she put
  17. 0:36puts that to bed. If you want to get
  18. 0:37clued up on what actually happened, you
  19. 0:39need to watch this clip. Have a watch.
  20. 0:42The fundamental narrative about Israel
  21. 0:44essentially is that as a compensation
  22. 0:47for the Holocaust, the Jews were given a
  23. 0:50piece of someone else's land in the
  24. 0:51Middle East where they've settled and
  25. 0:54now there is a battle over that piece of
  26. 0:56land because of that original sin if you
  27. 0:59like which is uh a viewpoint that
  28. 1:02frankly up until I started listening to
  29. 1:04some of your your talks was unshakable
  30. 1:07in my understanding. Yeah, absolutely.
  31. 1:10because I don't know. I honestly don't
  32. 1:11know
  33. 1:12>> that's the default narrative.
  34. 1:14>> Yeah.
  35. 1:15>> So is in what way is that not the case,
  36. 1:18Melanie?
  37. 1:19>> Every single thing that you've just said
  38. 1:20is untrue.
  39. 1:21>> Mhm. most of your conversations.
  40. 1:24>> That'll make him happy for
  41. 1:25>> um obviously is a big subject, but um
  42. 1:28the idea that um the Jews had no
  43. 1:33connection to the land of Israel until
  44. 1:36um a guiltridden west uh took them out
  45. 1:39as a remnant of the Holocaust and stuck
  46. 1:42them into someone else's country is uh
  47. 1:45the opposite of the truth.
  48. 1:47>> So what is the truth? The Jews are the
  49. 1:49only people for whom the land of Israel
  50. 1:51was ever their national kingdom.
  51. 1:54Hundreds and hundreds of years before
  52. 1:56Islam was even invented and before the
  53. 1:59Arabs invaded. Um the Jews uh were the
  54. 2:02original nation, the original nation
  55. 2:05upon which America and Britain in a kind
  56. 2:08of mystical fashion in Britain modeled
  57. 2:11themselves. Why do I say that? They were
  58. 2:14a nation because they were a people
  59. 2:17uh in a particular area of land which
  60. 2:19they governed according to laws they
  61. 2:22made and which they defended.
  62. 2:25Now um they were uh a nation for several
  63. 2:31hundred years under various kings. Um
  64. 2:34and then uh they were uh basically
  65. 2:38kicked out and they they returned then
  66. 2:41kicked out again. Um and then the that
  67. 2:43land of Israel was occupied by vast
  68. 2:46numbers of different civilizations.
  69. 2:49um the Romans,
  70. 2:52uh uh the Assyrians, um uh uh the uh
  71. 2:57Arabs, uh various various sorts of
  72. 3:00Muslims, um Christians, crusaders,
  73. 3:03um and for a long period the Ottoman
  74. 3:06Turks who were Muslim but not Arab. Um
  75. 3:10and then we get to the turn of the last
  76. 3:12century and there grew up in Britain as
  77. 3:16a result of mainly as a result of
  78. 3:18evangelical Christianity a movement to
  79. 3:21return the Jews to their ancestral
  80. 3:23homeland. Um and these people were
  81. 3:25called Christian Zionists and the kind
  82. 3:27of apogee of Christian Zionism in
  83. 3:29political terms was the Balfa
  84. 3:31declaration in 1917 was a cabinet which
  85. 3:34was dominated by Christian Zionists and
  86. 3:37they believed that it was um uh their
  87. 3:40duty to help the Jews return to restore
  88. 3:44their ancient homeland. Um long story
  89. 3:48short, as you will know, after the first
  90. 3:50world war, the entire Middle East was
  91. 3:52carved up between Britain and France. Um
  92. 3:56uh which, you know, itself was a
  93. 3:58questionable uh activity and they
  94. 4:00created
  95. 4:00>> those straight lines on the map.
  96. 4:02>> Well, well, yes, slightly more
  97. 4:05complicated and straight lines anyway.
  98. 4:07So you know some of these uh countries
  99. 4:09that they created you know you can say
  100. 4:10that's very questionable but basically
  101. 4:13the precursor of the United Nations
  102. 4:15which was then the League of Nations in
  103. 4:18the 1920s decided that um as a matter of
  104. 4:22international treaty obligation
  105. 4:24>> um Britain would be given custodianship
  106. 4:27of what was then called Palestine, a
  107. 4:29name given to it insultingly by the
  108. 4:31Romans in order to erase its Jewish
  109. 4:35identity.
  110. 4:36um the British will be given c
  111. 4:38custodianship of Palestine called the
  112. 4:39mandate under which Britain would be
  113. 4:42under a binding treaty obligation
  114. 4:45to return the Jews to their ancestral
  115. 4:47homeland to recreate it. Now what was
  116. 4:49Palestine at the time? Well, bit of it,
  117. 4:53a very large chunk of it was promptly
  118. 4:56given away to the Arabs by Winston
  119. 4:58Churchill to become Trans Jordan, which
  120. 5:01is now Jordan. So what did that leave as
  121. 5:04the territory within which Britain had a
  122. 5:07binding duty undertaken by the world
  123. 5:10body of the time to return the Jews as a
  124. 5:13matter of historic right. What was that
  125. 5:15territory? It is what is now Israel,
  126. 5:18what is called the West Bank and Gaza.
  127. 5:21That is a territory to which the Jews
  128. 5:24alone were given the right to return
  129. 5:27because they alone had ruled it.
  130. 5:31terms which have never been abregated.
  131. 5:33Even though the League of Nations is no
  132. 5:35more, it gave rise to the United
  133. 5:37Nations. But the United Nations took on
  134. 5:40in its charter, it took on all the
  135. 5:42obligations of its predecessor unless
  136. 5:44they were specifically abrogated. Those
  137. 5:47terms had never been abregated. So what
  138. 5:50then happened was although the Arabs at
  139. 5:52the time around 1917 1918
  140. 5:55uh King Fisizel notably and one or two
  141. 5:58others they said welcome we welcome back
  142. 6:01the Jews to their ancestral homeland.
  143. 6:02They used this term because it was in in
  144. 6:04their own religion they knew this was a
  145. 6:06Jewish homeland and then a lot of stuff
  146. 6:09happened.
  147. 6:11basically the British having undertaken
  148. 6:14in the first place uh this duty to
  149. 6:17settle the Jews in their ancestral
  150. 6:20homeland. Um the Jew the the the Brit
  151. 6:23the British colonial uh office at the
  152. 6:25time and the colonial administrators who
  153. 6:27were put into um uh Palestine to
  154. 6:31administer this mandate did everything
  155. 6:33they could to stop it and they among
  156. 6:36other things brought in a an Islamic
  157. 6:39fire brand. This was at the time when
  158. 6:41Islamism as we know it, political Islam
  159. 6:44was growing. It was sort of invented
  160. 6:46after the first world war. And they
  161. 6:49brought in the British brought in a
  162. 6:51particular Islamic fire brand called
  163. 6:54Hamin Al- Husseini as the Grand Mui of
  164. 6:57Jerusalem.
  165. 6:58And he incited he was brought in to
  166. 7:01incite revolt. And he did. There were
  167. 7:03then poggrams after poggrams after
  168. 7:06poggrams of the returning Jews. Um, and
  169. 7:12the thing then blew up into a sort of
  170. 7:15three-sided war, Jews and Arabs and
  171. 7:18British or basically at various times
  172. 7:20all fighting each other. Scroll on. Um,
  173. 7:23the British threw in the towel, gave it
  174. 7:25over to the United Nations. The United
  175. 7:27Nations, Britain had Britain by this
  176. 7:30time had reneged on its obligation to
  177. 7:32settle the Jews in the land. Britain had
  178. 7:34decided the only way to solve this was
  179. 7:36to give a portion of this land to the
  180. 7:39Arabs in order to shut them up and stop
  181. 7:41them from fighting. And in accordance
  182. 7:44with that, the British closed the gates
  183. 7:46of Palestine at the time when the Jews
  184. 7:50were starting to be exterminated in
  185. 7:52Europe.
  186. 7:54That's what happened. And then the
  187. 7:56United Nations took over. The war
  188. 7:57finished. The United Nations took over.
  189. 8:00United Nations said just like Britain
  190. 8:01had said, "Right, two states, two-state
  191. 8:03solution. One for Jews, one for the
  192. 8:06Arabs." And just as with every occasion
  193. 8:09since then, the Jews said, "What? You're
  194. 8:12going to take this away from us? Fine.
  195. 8:15Fine. Give us anything. Anything because
  196. 8:18we're desperate." And the Arabs said,
  197. 8:19"What? Jews here? Never." and they
  198. 8:24invaded
  199. 8:26uh or they went to war against the
  200. 8:28Jewish homeland. There was a what's
  201. 8:30called the war of independence which
  202. 8:32amazingly the Jews won against all the
  203. 8:35odds. Subsequently, there have been I
  204. 8:37forgotten how many two, three, four
  205. 8:40offers of a state of Palestine to the
  206. 8:43Arabs which have been made by Israel. At
  207. 8:47every occasion, the Arabs have refused
  208. 8:49and have gone to war or have stepped up
  209. 8:52terrorist activity against Israelis.
  210. 8:56>> Now, before we go any further into that
  211. 8:58part of it, I just want to come back to
  212. 8:59this homeland idea. this idea that many
  213. 9:02many centuries ago a certain if we strip
  214. 9:04away their identities and we just go
  215. 9:06many many moons ago a certain group of
  216. 9:08people had a kingdom in this area and
  217. 9:10after that there have been 10
  218. 9:12civilizations or 15 civilizations that
  219. 9:14have come and lived in this land and now
  220. 9:16for some reason it's it's kind of me
  221. 9:19isn't it a bit like me going well I used
  222. 9:21to you know I grew up in this flat in
  223. 9:23Moscow
  224. 9:24>> and now I want to be resettled there and
  225. 9:27all the neighbors have agreed to kick
  226. 9:28out
  227. 9:29>> that guy who lives there out and put me
  228. 9:31in that flat instead. Is it not bit like
  229. 9:33that?
  230. 9:33>> Well, well, no, it's not like that.
  231. 9:35First of all, the Jews never left the
  232. 9:36land. They were always coming back to
  233. 9:39it.
  234. 9:40>> Um, even under occupation, there was
  235. 9:42always a Jewish presence in the land.
  236. 9:44And from the mid 19th century onwards,
  237. 9:47there was a Jewish majority in
  238. 9:48Jerusalem.
  239. 9:50Um, that's the first thing. The second
  240. 9:51thing was that the land at the time of
  241. 9:54the mandate was very sparsely populated.
  242. 9:57The people who were there were mainly
  243. 10:00nomadic Arabs but they didn't have an
  244. 10:03identity. They were they considered
  245. 10:06themselves to be part of Syria which was
  246. 10:09created um or Bedwin. They were they
  247. 10:12there was no such thing as Palestinians.
  248. 10:14Palestinians were the Jews. Um
  249. 10:16>> but there were people who lived there.
  250. 10:18>> There were people who lived there. Yes.
  251. 10:19And then because the Jews started coming
  252. 10:21back, um Arabs started Arabs and others
  253. 10:24started pouring in from neighboring Arab
  254. 10:27lands and the British uh then liter let
  255. 10:31them come in even though they were many
  256. 10:34of them illegal immigrants. They let
  257. 10:36them come in because they wanted to stop
  258. 10:38the Jewish homeland. So it's not a
  259. 10:41question of kicking people out. M
  260. 10:43>> um it's a it's it's and it's it's not a
  261. 10:46question of you know people who had some
  262. 10:48sort of mystical attachment to some
  263. 10:51country. You're talking about the Jewish
  264. 10:53people who have been persecuted in
  265. 10:55virtually every country in which they've
  266. 10:57settled. No country ever's ever wanted
  267. 10:59them apart from India and China which
  268. 11:02have never had a problem with their
  269. 11:03Jewish populations. But in Europe
  270. 11:06>> no way nobody wanted them. Um and it was
  271. 11:10in respect of that as well as the fact
  272. 11:12that um uh they were the original nation
  273. 11:16and have always wanted to go back. Um
  274. 11:19that um they were considered to have the
  275. 11:22right to go back. Um so
  276. 11:25>> so is this kind of perpetual persecution
  277. 11:29what I I'm just trying to get this
  278. 11:31logically clear. ual persecution
  279. 11:32>> of Jews in Europe. Is that what uniquely
  280. 11:36in the history of humanity gives Jews
  281. 11:39the right to resettle a land in which
  282. 11:40they didn't have that much of a
  283. 11:42presence?
  284. 11:42>> No, it was their country
  285. 11:44>> but a long time ago.
  286. 11:46>> Oh, okay. So, why do people think that
  287. 11:49if they think that it was the
  288. 11:50Palestinians country a long time ago,
  289. 11:52that's that means that they should have
  290. 11:54it.
  291. 11:55>> But they were living there in the 19th
  292. 11:56century.
  293. 11:57>> But they weren't. There was no such
  294. 11:58thing as the Palestinians. M
  295. 12:00>> there was no such thing as the
  296. 12:01Palestinian people. There was no
  297. 12:03Palestinian people until it was invented
  298. 12:04in the mid1 1960s.
  299. 12:06>> Well, there was these nomadic Arabs who
  300. 12:08lived there.
  301. 12:08>> Yeah. But they didn't want a country of
  302. 12:09their own.
  303. 12:11>> The Jews were a nation. They had a
  304. 12:13country of their own.
  305. 12:14>> And it was taken away from them and then
  306. 12:16they were persecuted around the world
  307. 12:18>> and so it seemed only decent and fair
  308. 12:20that they should have it back.
  309. 12:22>> And a lot of people at the time thought
  310. 12:24that was absolutely fine. But it was
  311. 12:27there was a a resistance whipped up
  312. 12:29which was basically a religious
  313. 12:31resistance in my view. Um and remains
  314. 12:34basically a religious resistance um
  315. 12:36because if you look at the Arab world uh
  316. 12:39the Muslim world unfortunately and you
  317. 12:41look at the Palestinian Arabs and what
  318. 12:43they are producing uh day by day in
  319. 12:46terms of what they teach their children
  320. 12:48and the materials they put out. It's
  321. 12:51it's not it's not really accurate just
  322. 12:53to say it's anti-Israel, which indeed it
  323. 12:56is. Um, and it's it's certainly the case
  324. 12:59that they want, in my view. Um, I think
  325. 13:01this is proven by what they say and what
  326. 13:04they do and their insignia in their
  327. 13:06flags and their materials. They want
  328. 13:08Israel gone. They don't want two states.
  329. 13:09They want Israel gone. But it's much
  330. 13:11worse than that. What they're producing
  331. 13:13day by day is is anti-Jewish venom.
  332. 13:18um crude conspiratorial
  333. 13:22Jews are uniquely
  334. 13:24the source of evil in the world. That's
  335. 13:27what they're producing. That's what
  336. 13:28they're teaching their children uh to
  337. 13:30hate. And
  338. 13:34people in the west just have no idea of
  339. 13:36this because it is never ever reported.
  340. 13:40And so I got into a lot of difficulty
  341. 13:42because um
  342. 13:45uh until the year 2000 I'd never been to
  343. 13:48Israel, never wanted to go. I thought as
  344. 13:50a British Jew I was you know it was it
  345. 13:52was it was great. It was fine. It
  346. 13:53nothing to do with me and I'd bought
  347. 13:56into quite a lot of the stuff that you
  348. 13:58know we've been talking about because
  349. 14:00you know if if you don't know about the
  350. 14:02Middle East why would you think any any
  351. 14:04different? Um and um
  352. 14:10uh
  353. 14:12in in in 1982 when I was at the Guardian
  354. 14:17um I was brought up very sharply against
  355. 14:21the fact that as a British Jew um I
  356. 14:24spoke as a matter of fairness about why
  357. 14:27there seemed to be a double standard in
  358. 14:29the reporting of Israel at that time as
  359. 14:32opposed to reporting of Syria. Syria at
  360. 14:34that time um had murdered or caused to
  361. 14:38be killed um between 15 and 40,000
  362. 14:42opponents of President Assad, the father
  363. 14:45of the president Assad.
  364. 14:47>> And it was virtually not reported at the
  365. 14:49garden. It was a few paragraphs. It was
  366. 14:50it was nothing. Whereas Israel was at
  367. 14:53war in the Lebanon and it was a front
  368. 14:55page story every day. It was furious
  369. 14:57editorials. It was outrageous. And I
  370. 15:00said, "Why is there a double standard?"
  371. 15:02And that's when I realized the racism of
  372. 15:05the left because I was told um of course
  373. 15:09there's a double standard. You don't
  374. 15:10expect us to
  375. 15:13uh um uh treat the developing world like
  376. 15:18us. The developing world is not brought
  377. 15:20up as we are to respect human life.
  378. 15:23Consequently, we can't judge them by our
  379. 15:24standards. That's racism. And I went,
  380. 15:28"What?" So, let me get this right. If
  381. 15:31someone's born into the developing
  382. 15:34world, they're not entitled to the same
  383. 15:37rights to life and liberty as we are.
  384. 15:40Isn't that racism? And they said, "Why
  385. 15:43are you so upset?
  386. 15:45We do you the great honor I became you."
  387. 15:49>> Mhm.
  388. 15:50>> Like that you we do you the great honor
  389. 15:53of assuming that you and Israel and I
  390. 15:55became Israel. Mhm.
  391. 15:57>> Um
  392. 15:58that you in Israel uh adhere to the same
  393. 16:01principles as we do, respect for human
  394. 16:04life. So we judge you by our standards.
  395. 16:08And what's more, you tell us that you
  396. 16:10are morally superior to us. So we should
  397. 16:13judge you by higher standards. And
  398. 16:16that's when I realized the anti-semitism
  399. 16:18of the left and the racism of the left.
  400. 16:20And that's when I first realized that my
  401. 16:24naive belief that we were all marching
  402. 16:26to the same tude behind the same banner
  403. 16:29of decency was not the case. They were
  404. 16:32on the other side. And then I didn't do
  405. 16:35any more stuff about any of that for a
  406. 16:37long time. And then in the year 2000
  407. 16:39when the inifard started, second inifard
  408. 16:41as it was called, something very similar
  409. 16:44happened. Israelis are being blown to
  410. 16:45bits in pizza parlors and cafes and um
  411. 16:50in bomb buses in Israel and um you know
  412. 16:56several thousand were murdered and from
  413. 16:59the get-go in Britain um Israel was
  414. 17:03totally condemned for taking connection
  415. 17:06to stop it and as a matter of justice
  416. 17:09and fairness I said what is this? why
  417. 17:13are you behaving like this? And
  418. 17:14everybody went, "Oh, she's a Jew.
  419. 17:18She's not properly British."
  420. 17:21And that was when I realized as a
  421. 17:23British Jew, you could not support the
  422. 17:24Jewish people as a people. Not allowed.
  423. 17:28Um, and that's when I realized something
  424. 17:29was very, very badly wrong uh with
  425. 17:32Britain's attitude to Jews, not just to
  426. 17:34Israel, but to Jews. And that but that
  427. 17:35the two were bound up together. uh
  428. 17:38because Israel was being presented not
  429. 17:40least by the BBC as basically the
  430. 17:41fountain of all evil in the Middle East.
  431. 17:43It was an aggressive country. It behaved
  432. 17:46illegally. All of this in my view as I
  433. 17:48came to believe over many years
  434. 17:51subsequently. All of it was a lie. But
  435. 17:54that's what everyone was told. And so
  436. 17:56consequently, if you were a Jew standing
  437. 17:58up for all this, then of course you were
  438. 18:00also evil. Of course you were.
  439. 18:02And this was a shattering really
  440. 18:05shattering set of developments for me.
  441. 18:08And eventually kind of long story short
  442. 18:11or shorter, I came to put all that
  443. 18:13together with all the other stuff we're
  444. 18:14talking about. All the other stuff we're
  445. 18:16talking about because it's all to do
  446. 18:18with, as you said, Constantine, truth
  447. 18:20and lies
  448. 18:21>> is basically what it's about. When you
  449. 18:23pair it all down, people are telling
  450. 18:26themselves lies about reality. They're
  451. 18:30living in a world of fantasy which they
  452. 18:32purport they they they they they want us
  453. 18:35to believe is the reality. They tell
  454. 18:37lies about other people and that they
  455. 18:39don't realize that they're lies because
  456. 18:41there's no such thing as a lie anymore.
  457. 18:42There's no such thing as truth.
  458. 18:43Everything is a matter of opinion.
  459. 18:45Everything is a matter of opinion. So
  460. 18:46there you go. Melanie Phillips thinks
  461. 18:48the truth doesn't really count for much
  462. 18:49these days. And frankly, it seems that
  463. 18:51that is the case with many people. But
  464. 18:53let me say clearly on this channel and
  465. 18:56with anyone who actually cares about
  466. 18:58understanding the objective truth, we
  467. 19:00will continue to state the truth clearly
  468. 19:02and firmly. And uh what's interesting to
  469. 19:05note is that as Melanie identified,
  470. 19:07whichever way you look at it, Israel has
  471. 19:10the strongest case for being there.
  472. 19:14Number one, historically their
  473. 19:17connection to this land predates
  474. 19:19Christianity, Islam, uh really any other
  475. 19:23ancient nation that is around today. No
  476. 19:26people has a stronger connection to
  477. 19:28their lands than uh Israel and the Jews.
  478. 19:30And then for those that say, "Okay, but
  479. 19:31you can't just uproot people who came
  480. 19:33later to make way for the indigenous
  481. 19:36population."
  482. 19:37Well, that brings brings us to the next
  483. 19:39point about the legal rights.
  484. 19:42The Jews didn't come and displace all
  485. 19:44the Arabs. It's a great myth that the
  486. 19:46Palestinian side has managed to
  487. 19:48fabricate. No, Jews started returning
  488. 19:50there through legal purchases of land
  489. 19:52from the 19th century onwards. They
  490. 19:54always maintained a presence there but
  491. 19:55started returning on mass to come back
  492. 19:56to their homeland escaping persecution.
  493. 19:59Um and uh they purchased land legally
  494. 20:04and then in 1947 the UN says right let's
  495. 20:07partition the land. There was already,
  496. 20:09by the way, international law from the
  497. 20:11League of Nations and the San Remo
  498. 20:12Conference, which gave the Jews the
  499. 20:14right to the entirety of the land. But
  500. 20:16anyway, the UN said, "Let's propose
  501. 20:18partitioning the land into two states
  502. 20:20because there are Arabs and Jews living
  503. 20:22here." Again, no displacement has
  504. 20:23occurred yet. The Arab side says, "No,
  505. 20:26we're not accepting a Jewish state, a
  506. 20:27reestablishment of Jewish sovereignty.
  507. 20:29We want it all." And for those that say,
  508. 20:31"Well, they're entitled to a state." Had
  509. 20:34the Arabs won in 1948, all the other
  510. 20:37surrounding Arab countries would just
  511. 20:38take a chunk of the land. There would be
  512. 20:40no Arab state, which knows they don't
  513. 20:42really care about that. It was about the
  514. 20:43Jews returning. And uh they lose. And in
  515. 20:48the war that they try to throw all the
  516. 20:50Jews into the sea in, uh they get
  517. 20:53displaced because that's what happens
  518. 20:55when you start a war and you try to
  519. 20:57destroy the other side and you lose.
  520. 21:00Don't make that the Jews fault. Don't
  521. 21:01make that Israel's fault.
  522. 21:03By the way, much of the displacement
  523. 21:05occurred simply because the Arab armies
  524. 21:06told the Arabs to leave. The proof of
  525. 21:09that is that some Arab communities that
  526. 21:12stayed that weren't the central places
  527. 21:15of fighting, they became Israeli Arabs.
  528. 21:17They became Arab citizens, proving
  529. 21:18Israel wasn't on an ethnic cleansing
  530. 21:20mission. So, you look at it from a legal
  531. 21:22standpoint, a historical standpoint,
  532. 21:26certainly from a self-determination
  533. 21:27standpoint. I mean, goodness me, the
  534. 21:29Jews have been the most persecuted
  535. 21:31people in history. They're the only
  536. 21:35people I can think of who have faced a
  537. 21:37consistent and intense level of
  538. 21:39exterminationist
  539. 21:41hatred that doesn't just hate you and
  540. 21:43persecute and and and enslave you, but
  541. 21:45actually wants to exterminate you. So,
  542. 21:49goodness me, if any people deserves a
  543. 21:51safe haven, it's the Jews. And uh
  544. 21:56lastly, biblically as well, so much of
  545. 21:59the world acknowledges the Bible as the
  546. 22:00word of God. So what does the Bible say
  547. 22:03about the relationship between the
  548. 22:05nation of Israel and the land of Israel?
  549. 22:09And you know, interestingly enough, um
  550. 22:13the day of October 7th, on that day,
  551. 22:16Jews began restarting their annual
  552. 22:19reading of the Torah. They went all the
  553. 22:21way back to the beginning.
  554. 22:23And uh I don't think it's by chance or
  555. 22:26coincidence that on the day in which all
  556. 22:28the issues that we're discussing erupted
  557. 22:30into global consciousness in a way that
  558. 22:32we haven't really seen before about
  559. 22:34Israel and its right or no right to the
  560. 22:37land depending on which side of the
  561. 22:39argument you're on. We read on that day
  562. 22:41Genesis. In the beginning, God created
  563. 22:43the heavens and the earth. And the most
  564. 22:45famous Torah commentator of all, ask any
  565. 22:47learner Jew, they'll tell you, "Well, of
  566. 22:48course it's Rushy." He was a rabbi that
  567. 22:51lived in medieval France.
  568. 22:54And he writes and comments on the
  569. 22:55entirety of the Torah. And uh his first
  570. 22:58comment is why did God begin with the
  571. 23:01Torah? Why did he begin with in the
  572. 23:04beginning God created the heaven and the
  573. 23:05earth? Why doesn't God start with the
  574. 23:06first commandment? Ultimately, this is a
  575. 23:08book of commandments of of God's
  576. 23:10instructions for mankind. Why do we need
  577. 23:12a history lesson?
  578. 23:14Interesting question. And many answers
  579. 23:16can be given. But you know what answer
  580. 23:17Rashi gives? He says, "Because the
  581. 23:20nations of the world will accuse the
  582. 23:22Jews of being foreign occupiers of the
  583. 23:26land of Israel, of stealing the land, of
  584. 23:28colonizing it through no right, through
  585. 23:31no just cause."
  586. 23:33And the nation of Israel will respond by
  587. 23:36declaring, "The God of heaven and earth,
  588. 23:39the God who created heaven and earth,
  589. 23:42assigned this land to us." So if the God
  590. 23:45of Israel assigned to the nation of
  591. 23:47Israel, the land of Israel, who are you
  592. 23:48to argue?
  593. 23:51Fascinating.
  594. 23:53What it's telling us is that all the
  595. 23:56arguments, well, they would work for
  596. 23:57other nations, indigenous claim,
  597. 24:01historical, legal.
  598. 24:05Israel is not a nation like other
  599. 24:07nations. And therefore, trying to
  600. 24:08justify itself through natural means is
  601. 24:11not going to cut it.
  602. 24:15The reason why anti-semitism has existed
  603. 24:17for thousands of years and it's been
  604. 24:19exterminationist in nature unlike other
  605. 24:21prejudices is because it's a push back
  606. 24:23against God's destiny for the Jews which
  607. 24:26is for them to bridge the gap between
  608. 24:28heaven and earth for God to become
  609. 24:29present on earth. And anti-semitism is a
  610. 24:32hostility to that mission whether
  611. 24:34consciously or subconsciously
  612. 24:36I believe it was probably conscious in
  613. 24:37the case of someone like Adolf Hitler.
  614. 24:40How else do you explain his
  615. 24:43obsession with getting rid of the Jews?
  616. 24:45There's lots of evidence and quotes that
  617. 24:46he said to back that up.
  618. 24:48But the point is that anti-semitism is
  619. 24:52the part of the psyche of humanity that
  620. 24:55says, "Let heaven stay in heaven and let
  621. 24:57earth be earth." Jews, you want to bring
  622. 25:01God down to earth, go back to heaven
  623. 25:03where you belong.
  624. 25:07And so because the Jews have this divine
  625. 25:08mission, they can't escape it. And it's
  626. 25:11going to have to be those who are style
  627. 25:12that are going to have to have a a
  628. 25:14reconciling of that. But it's only when
  629. 25:15the Jews explain and fully actualize and
  630. 25:18come into their role and embody that
  631. 25:20role
  632. 25:22that uh their mission will fully be
  633. 25:25actualized.
  634. 25:26And so there's no use trying to hide
  635. 25:28away from it. Only by fully coming into
  636. 25:30that will they
  637. 25:32channel the source of their power.
  638. 25:35And that's why the nations won't accept
  639. 25:37a natural argument
  640. 25:40for why the Jews have the right to their
  641. 25:42land. The only thing that will ever work
  642. 25:44will be what their mission is all about,
  643. 25:46which is that we are in this land and we
  644. 25:49have the right to this land because God
  645. 25:52said so.
  646. 25:55I think this is completely essential to
  647. 25:58understanding what we need to do moving
  648. 26:00forward. I think it's no accident that's
  649. 26:02what Rashi said. And by the way, this
  650. 26:05actually is what I think is going to
  651. 26:08work in a Muslim Arab world where they
  652. 26:10honor and and respect uh God and and
  653. 26:14religiosity far more than they do
  654. 26:16secular, international, western or
  655. 26:17democratic
  656. 26:19rules of engagement or law or
  657. 26:20justification.
  658. 26:23So this isn't this isn't irrational.
  659. 26:26This actually, I believe, holds the key.
  660. 26:29And uh as I said yesterday on a a video
  661. 26:34I did about Tishab, which was the the
  662. 26:36day of mourning in the Jewish calendar,
  663. 26:39we learned that the reason for the
  664. 26:40destruction of the temple, one of the
  665. 26:43reasons was uh something that happened
  666. 26:45with King Hezekiah. He was a a king of
  667. 26:48Israel who was a great righteous man and
  668. 26:51he managed to reinate the temple that
  669. 26:54had been defiled. The nation of Israel
  670. 26:56had gone astray and was worshiping
  671. 26:59idols. He managed to reconnect them to
  672. 27:00the temple, to God. He managed to
  673. 27:02reunite the the people in the north, the
  674. 27:06Jews in the north and his kingdom in the
  675. 27:08south. He did so much to restore their
  676. 27:12connection to their national the Jewish
  677. 27:14national mission.
  678. 27:17So much so that when the army of Assyria
  679. 27:20came to conquer the gates of Jerusalem,
  680. 27:22he prayed to God and God made a miracle
  681. 27:25occur where the over 100,000 troops all
  682. 27:30died in the middle of the night while
  683. 27:31camping outside Jerusalem.
  684. 27:34And then we learn that Babylonians came,
  685. 27:37delegates from Babylon to understand
  686. 27:39what was this great miracle that
  687. 27:41occurred. And King Hezekiah, what does
  688. 27:43he do? He instead of trying to instead
  689. 27:47of explaining to them this was a miracle
  690. 27:48of God that God is has a a divine co you
  691. 27:52know a special covenant with the nation
  692. 27:54of Israel instead
  693. 27:56he plays a game of real politique he
  694. 27:59shows them around his palace all his
  695. 28:00gold and silver tries to impress them
  696. 28:03through natural means he enters the the
  697. 28:06realm of geopolitics
  698. 28:08so the Babylonians these delegates were
  699. 28:10genuinely curious to know what what
  700. 28:12happened here what's going on should we
  701. 28:14fear this nation of Israel? Should we uh
  702. 28:17uh how should we understand them? He had
  703. 28:19an opportunity
  704. 28:21to explain that Israel has a divine
  705. 28:23mission and explain Israel's divine
  706. 28:25destiny. And the sages of the town would
  707. 28:27say that had he done the right thing and
  708. 28:29said that he could have become the
  709. 28:31Messiah because he would have fulfilled
  710. 28:32that final concentric circle of Israel's
  711. 28:36uh mission which is not just to serve
  712. 28:38God as a nation but to be a light to the
  713. 28:40world light to the nations but instead
  714. 28:43he uh went back to playing this game of
  715. 28:44raal politique and Isaiah said to him
  716. 28:46after this he said because of what you
  717. 28:48did here the consequence not the
  718. 28:50punishment but the consequence will be
  719. 28:52that the Babylonians will destroy the
  720. 28:54temple and exile your people. What was
  721. 28:56he saying? He's saying that if if you
  722. 28:59want them to see you like a nation as
  723. 29:00all others, then they'll trample over
  724. 29:02you in in a world of empires and
  725. 29:04regional powers. The kingdom of Judah
  726. 29:06doesn't stand a chance there. But if
  727. 29:08they see you as different, you're not to
  728. 29:10be messed with because you're God's
  729. 29:11nation, because of your divine role,
  730. 29:13they'll treat you very differently. And
  731. 29:15so that is so clearly a lesson that we
  732. 29:17all have for today as a nation of
  733. 29:19Israel. We have to stop justifying
  734. 29:21ourselves and explaining ourselves
  735. 29:22through natural means and explaining why
  736. 29:24international law and all this stuff
  737. 29:26justifies our existence. I believe if we
  738. 29:29speak in a divine tone, if we explain
  739. 29:32who we are, not through natural means,
  740. 29:34but for through supernatural
  741. 29:36reasons, I think the world will actually
  742. 29:39have a lot more time for us. And it may
  743. 29:41well hold the key to transforming
  744. 29:43Israel's global isolation into honor and
  745. 29:46praise. The Islamic Republic of Iran.
  746. 29:49For over four decades, its leaders have
  747. 29:51stood defiantly, their voices thundering
  748. 29:54through Tehran's streets, chanting death
  749. 29:56to Israel and waging a relentless war on
  750. 29:59the West. But what fuels this fierce,
  751. 30:02unyielding hatred? Is it politics, a
