United nations, it is important to say that the party
00:02:40.070 --> 00:02:43.274
Recognizable for the suffering of the gazan population is
00:02:43.274 --> 00:02:47.811
Hamas. it is the one that started this war, and it is the
00:02:47.811 --> 00:02:51.348
Source of evil inside gaza. as if to prove this point, hamas
00:02:51.348 --> 00:02:56.787
Terrorists fired at idf troops from inside the shifa hospital
00:02:56.787 --> 00:03:00.291

Hezbollah, the houthis in yemen, the shia militias in iraq, and

All the armed groups in this region, including judea and
00:03:47.404 --> 00:03:49.840
Samaria, that are acting under the control of iran's islamic
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.544

To a short commercial break, after which we will return with
00:04:20.638 --> 00:04:25.509
Matti shoshani. imagine holding in your hands the very soil
00:04:25.509 --> 00:04:33.517
From the temple mount, the place where solomon built the
00:04:33.517 --> 00:04:37.821
First temple, and where jesus walked, taught, and fulfilled
00:04:37.821 --> 00:04:42.960
Prophecy. in 1999, something extraordinary happened. tonnes
00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:47.531
Of soil were removed from the temple mount as part of a
00:04:47.531 --> 00:04:50.301
Project that should never have happened, because it damaged
00:04:50.301 --> 00:04:53.671
The ability of the archeological teams to do their
00:04:53.671 --> 00:04:56.874
Work properly in this site. this moment in history will
00:04:56.874 --> 00:05:00.778
Never be repeated, but inside that soil are traces of the
00:05:00.778 --> 00:05:04.982
First and second temples, artifacts of biblical times,
00:05:04.982 --> 00:05:07.318
And the very ground where god's presence once dwelt. now, for
00:05:07.318 --> 00:05:12.189
The first time ever, you can own a small piece of this
00:05:12.189 --> 00:05:16.160
History. each bottle of soil is carefully screened and
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.197
Certified by the temple mount sifting project, the only
00:05:20.197 --> 00:05:23.567
Authorized team entrusted with this sacred material. this
00:05:23.567 --> 00:05:27.338
Isn't just jerusalem's soil. it's the real earth from the
00:05:27.338 --> 00:05:31.342
Holiest site in biblical history. and it can create a
00:05:31.342 --> 00:05:34.311
Tangible connection between scripture and your daily walk
00:05:34.311 --> 00:05:37.381
With god. this is your chance to touch the ground where jesus
00:05:37.381 --> 00:05:41.752
Actually walked, and to help preserve biblical history for
00:05:41.752 --> 00:05:45.556
Generations to come. so don't miss this once in a lifetime
00:05:45.556 --> 00:05:50.027
Opportunity. just visit. and secure yours today. again,
00:05:50.027 --> 00:05:59.403
That's temple soil. and secure yours today. welcome back. and
00:05:59.403 --> 00:06:15.352
Now let's go to tbn.tv. reohm senior middle east analyst
00:06:15.352 --> 00:06:19.556
Matti shoshani. because this week it seems like israel was
00:06:19.556 --> 00:06:22.192
Mentioned in every united nations speech over two days of
00:06:22.192 --> 00:06:26.430
Discussions at the united nations general assembly in new
00:06:26.430 --> 00:06:29.233
York. several western countries announced recognition of a
00:06:29.233 --> 00:06:32.035
Palestinian state, while united states president donald trump
00:06:32.035 --> 00:06:35.839
Delivered a forceful speech against this move. in a speech
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.344
That lasted nearly an hour, trump sharply criticized the
00:06:40.344 --> 00:06:43.781
Recognition of a palestinian state, claiming it was a reward
00:06:43.781 --> 00:06:47.117
For hamas that does not take into account the fate of the
00:06:47.117 --> 00:06:50.087
Hostages. he also came out against international
00:06:50.087 --> 00:06:53.257
Institutions and liberal immigration policies, as well
00:06:53.257 --> 00:06:57.261
As against the european countries. that did not take a
00:06:57.261 --> 00:07:00.164
Tough line towards russia. in addition, trump met with
00:07:00.164 --> 00:07:04.034
Representatives from muslim countries to discuss the future
00:07:04.034 --> 00:07:06.603
Of the gaza strip and examine options for a governments that
00:07:06.603 --> 00:07:10.541
Would not include hamas. so, marty, what happened there?
00:07:10.541 --> 00:07:15.712
>> thank you. yes, this has been a dramatic week in the un
00:07:15.712 --> 00:07:20.284
General assembly with a wave of recognition of a palestinian
00:07:20.284 --> 00:07:25.022
State by leaders from multiple countries. but the highlight of
00:07:25.022 --> 00:07:29.760
Everything that's been happening is a speech made by
00:07:29.760 --> 00:07:32.329
President trump and the upcoming expected speech of
00:07:32.329 --> 00:07:35.332
Israeli prime minister netanyahu on that same stage in
00:07:35.332 --> 00:07:38.068
The un general assembly. let's break down everything that's
00:07:38.068 --> 00:07:41.672
Been happening because these are dramatic, important and
00:07:41.672 --> 00:07:44.541
Even historic moments that are taking place in front of our
00:07:44.541 --> 00:07:48.345
Eyes. so over the past days, multiple national leaders have
00:07:48.345 --> 00:07:52.449
Taken the stage at the un general assembly, and many of
00:07:52.449 --> 00:07:56.153
Them have one trend, one thought in their minds. and it
00:07:56.153 --> 00:07:59.523
Relates to israel and the palestinian state, and
00:07:59.523 --> 00:08:03.026
Specifically a desire to recognize a palestinian state.
00:08:03.026 --> 00:08:06.296
This has been recognized by multiple european governments
00:08:06.296 --> 00:08:08.265
And countries, but then countered strongly,
00:08:08.265 --> 00:08:12.669
Dramatically and substantially by us president donald trump.
00:08:12.669 --> 00:08:16.139
And all of this is shadowed by the fact that just tomorrow,
00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:19.910
We're expecting to see a substantial a dramatic speech
00:08:19.910 --> 00:08:23.347
Given by prime minister netanyahu on exactly that topic.
00:08:23.347 --> 00:08:27.317
So a lot of moving pieces are taking place. a lot is
00:08:27.317 --> 00:08:30.153
Happening in the background and behind the negotiations, behind
00:08:30.153 --> 00:08:33.023
The speeches being made in the un general assembly. there's
00:08:33.023 --> 00:08:36.360
Also the ongoing negotiation with the qataris, with arab
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:40.163
Countries taking place in the middle east, led by us emissary
00:08:40.163 --> 00:08:44.334
Steve witkoff. so there's a lot happening, a lot taking place
00:08:44.334 --> 00:08:48.038
As we record this segment. so let's talk about who's been
00:08:48.038 --> 00:08:53.510
Recognizing a palestinian state. what i want to say that the
00:08:53.510 --> 00:08:56.146
French were the first to make an announcement. and they say
00:08:56.146 --> 00:08:59.316
The following. they they say they recognize a palestinian
00:08:59.316 --> 00:09:02.286
State, but without ignoring the facts of october 7th. on top of
00:09:02.286 --> 00:09:06.189
Them, the uk, canada, australia have also announced that they
00:09:06.189 --> 00:09:11.061
Will be recognizing a state. the italian government had said
00:09:11.061 --> 00:09:14.097
That they would recognize only if all hostages are released,
00:09:14.097 --> 00:09:18.569
And hamas excluded from any future palestinian government,
00:09:18.569 --> 00:09:21.972
Which is a very substantial difference. one of the dramatic
00:09:21.972 --> 00:09:25.809
Highlights of this week in the un general assembly is us
00:09:25.809 --> 00:09:28.612
President donald trump taking the stage, and he makes some
00:09:28.612 --> 00:09:32.282
Very bold, some very supportive, some very strong statements. he
00:09:32.282 --> 00:09:35.085
Says this and i want to get these quotes right. he says
00:09:35.085 --> 00:09:38.755
That recognizing a palestinian state right now is a prize for
00:09:38.755 --> 00:09:41.959
Hamas for the events of october 7th. that's a direct quote. and
00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:45.963
On the topic of hamas and gaza, he says that everyone must
00:09:45.963 --> 00:09:49.066
Unite under one message, release every last hostage now.
00:09:49.066 --> 00:09:54.037
We want all of them now, not two and then four. and he
00:09:54.037 --> 00:09:58.842
Addresses, of course, the fact that this has happened many
00:09:58.842 --> 00:10:01.311
Times in the past, in sort of a staggered manner on the ending
00:10:01.311 --> 00:10:05.382
Of the war, president trump says. he says we need to stop
00:10:05.382 --> 00:10:07.951
The war in gaza immediately. and of course, he doesn't spare
00:10:07.951 --> 00:10:11.455
Criticism of the un, which is something he does repeatedly.
00:10:11.455 --> 00:10:14.891
And i'd say in a very, very valid manner. he says, so much
00:10:14.891 --> 00:10:19.096
Wasted potential. those are his words as he addresses the un
00:10:19.096 --> 00:10:23.567
General assembly. so again, very strong, very, very
00:10:23.567 --> 00:10:28.005
Condemning words from president trump towards the un, towards
00:10:28.005 --> 00:10:30.340
Other countries who are recognizing a palestinian state.
00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:33.543
And this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. president
00:10:33.543 --> 00:10:36.146
Trump has carried the same line of thought and speech on this
00:10:36.146 --> 00:10:39.883
Topic time and time again. now back to al pinto.
00:10:39.883 --> 00:10:43.987

00:11:54.891 --> 00:12:00.297
7th of october. most of the foreigners, most of the
00:12:00.297 --> 00:12:03.066
Tourists just left. and three days later, there was a team on
00:12:03.066 --> 00:12:07.637
Your behalf here in jerusalem. you came a few days after.
00:12:07.637 --> 00:12:09.906
Wherever there is fire in the world, you definitely are
00:12:09.906 --> 00:12:13.877
Running into the fire.
00:12:13.877 --> 00:12:15.045
>> yeah. so running into the fires of figure, of speech,
00:12:15.045 --> 00:12:18.915
Right? but we do run into the disasters of the world, the
00:12:18.915 --> 00:12:21.952
Fires of the world, into the ditches of the world. and we do
00:12:21.952 --> 00:12:25.989
That and help people in jesus name. it's a simple philosophy,
00:12:25.989 --> 00:12:28.291
And that's who we are as an organization. and i've had a
00:12:28.291 --> 00:12:32.229
Great blessing to spend 37 years of my life doing this.
00:12:32.229 --> 00:12:35.198
And so it was time to write a book about it and tell people
00:12:35.198 --> 00:12:39.035
What god has done.
00:12:39.035 --> 00:12:39.936
>> what triggered you to write the book?
00:12:39.936 --> 00:12:42.239
>> well, i wanted the book to be an inspiration to young
00:12:42.239 --> 00:12:45.842
People, and i felt like sharing some of the stories where god
00:12:45.842 --> 00:12:49.312
Has led us and god has protected us. you know that the
00:12:49.312 --> 00:12:54.050
Lord might use that to inspire other people.
00:12:54.050 --> 00:12:55.852
>> in your book, you're writing about a dangerous situation
00:12:55.852 --> 00:13:00.524
That you were involved in. what's the story that impacted
00:13:00.524 --> 00:13:05.028
Your life more than anything else?
00:13:05.028 --> 00:13:07.697
>> that's a hard question to answer, because a lot of the
00:13:07.697 --> 00:13:13.837
Things where i've ran to the fire and countries where i've
00:13:13.837 --> 00:13:16.907
Worked in, you know, you see human suffering on a scale that
00:13:16.907 --> 00:13:21.778
No one was intended to see, whether it was the genocide in
00:13:21.778 --> 00:13:26.216
Rwanda or the war in sudan or darfur or what's going on in
00:13:26.216 --> 00:13:31.822
Congo. what has happened here? what's going on in israel? they
00:13:31.822 --> 00:13:36.893
All have impacted me in unique ways. i would say that the
00:13:36.893 --> 00:13:41.298
Genocide in rwanda was certainly a turning point in my
00:13:41.298 --> 00:13:43.600
Life. nine over 11 was a turning point. going back to
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.937
Afghanistan was a turning point. there's a journey along the way
00:13:46.937 --> 00:13:49.873
Where god has used these different occasions in my life.
00:13:49.873 --> 00:13:52.642
>> in a way, you saw more evil in men than the average person
00:13:52.642 --> 00:13:56.046
Around the world. yeah. do you want to elaborate about that?
00:13:56.046 --> 00:13:58.815
>> i think the average person wants to believe that people
00:13:58.815 --> 00:14:02.485
Are basically good. that's not my worldview as a christian. my
00:14:02.485 --> 00:14:06.990
Worldview is that we are fallen creatures and there's not
00:14:06.990 --> 00:14:11.061
Goodness or some light in our life. we're dark. and what i
00:14:11.061 --> 00:14:17.133
Can personally witness to is there is no bottom to how
00:14:17.133 --> 00:14:21.771
Brutal mankind can be to other human beings. there is no
00:14:21.771 --> 00:14:25.709
Bottom. and, you know, we saw that here. october the 7th,
00:14:25.709 --> 00:14:30.680
2023.
00:14:30.680 --> 00:14:31.748
>> but you also talk about faith and about a peace that
00:14:31.848 --> 00:14:34.985
God gave you. can you elaborate about that?
00:14:34.985 --> 00:14:37.821
>> when i was a young man, married two children. i worked
00:14:37.821 --> 00:14:42.626
In a family business drilling water wells, and i went for one
00:14:42.626 --> 00:14:47.464
Month as a volunteer on a mission trip to africa. and
00:14:47.464 --> 00:14:50.834
When i came back, i had this feeling in my heart that god
00:14:50.834 --> 00:14:54.871
Was calling me to the world. i prayed about it for two years,
00:14:54.871 --> 00:14:58.675
And eventually god answered my prayer in ways that i could
00:14:58.675 --> 00:15:02.679
Never have imagined. i just wanted to share that story,
00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:06.750
Because i think it is so important for people to
00:15:06.750 --> 00:15:09.552
Practically put their trust in god, particularly if they're
00:15:09.552 --> 00:15:12.856
Searching for the lord's will in their life. if they're
00:15:12.856 --> 00:15:15.759
Wondering what they should do, trust him. trust him. that is
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:19.562
The central theme of that book.
00:15:19.562 --> 00:15:21.965
>> in one sentence. how can you summarize the book?
00:15:21.965 --> 00:15:24.668
>> this is a book about what god has done with an
00:15:24.668 --> 00:15:28.605
Organization that has grown to proclaim the gospel around the
00:15:28.605 --> 00:15:31.875
World, and it's something god has done. that's how i would
00:15:31.875 --> 00:15:35.679
Summarize it.
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.880
>> two years ago, you ran into a different fire, a fire in the
00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:40.717
Middle east, a fire here in israel. and there's no doubt
00:15:40.717 --> 00:15:44.754
That samaritan's purse and you being vice president of the
00:15:44.754 --> 00:15:49.492
Organization have been here again and again and again and
00:15:49.492 --> 00:15:51.962
Again. what's your first reaction?
00:15:51.962 --> 00:15:54.130
>> you know, you have to ask yourself a question. why does
00:15:54.130 --> 00:15:57.767
So much pain and agony befall on the on the jewish people? a
00:15:57.767 --> 00:16:01.638
Good friend that works for you told me last night that the
00:16:01.638 --> 00:16:04.641
Story of the jewish people is they tried to kill us. they
00:16:04.641 --> 00:16:08.044
Failed. let's eat. you know, i thought that was humorous, but
00:16:08.044 --> 00:16:12.015
I think that israel is full of god's chosen people. and i
00:16:12.015 --> 00:16:15.452
Think that because of that, the road ahead is not going to be
00:16:15.452 --> 00:16:20.090
Smooth. really. some of the brilliant military and
00:16:20.090 --> 00:16:21.558
Intelligence steps that the israeli government has taken,
00:16:21.558 --> 00:16:25.295
The idf and so on. and, you know, there's certainly been
00:16:25.295 --> 00:16:28.665
Victories there, but there's still hostages and remains that
00:16:28.665 --> 00:16:31.701
Need to come back. hamas is there. hamas is evil and
00:16:31.701 --> 00:16:36.606
Darkness. and now you've got, you know, two, 2.2 million
00:16:36.606 --> 00:16:40.577
Gazans that need the basic things in life. and it's just
00:16:40.577 --> 00:16:45.482
Tough. and israel is taking all of that on. they need help.
00:16:45.482 --> 00:16:48.918
They need prayer. and i think they need support.
00:16:48.918 --> 00:16:51.621
>> you know, ken, when we see the media coming from around
00:16:51.621 --> 00:16:55.558
The world, israel is being blamed that israel prevent
00:16:55.558 --> 00:16:58.828
People to help the palestinians that are living in gaza. you've
00:16:58.828 --> 00:17:02.565
Been in gaza several times. what's your impression?
00:17:02.565 --> 00:17:05.402
>> there are pockets of famine in gaza, but there is not
00:17:05.402 --> 00:17:09.906
Starvation. there are accusations made coming █out of
00:17:09.906 --> 00:17:11.574
The media and coming out of other countries that are
00:17:11.574 --> 00:17:14.677
Uninformed and actually a distortion of reality. i don't
00:17:14.677 --> 00:17:19.015
Understand what motivates people to do that, but i'll
00:17:19.015 --> 00:17:21.718
Tell you what i am focused on. you know, we came here and we
00:17:21.718 --> 00:17:26.723
Helped the israeli people, and we're still helping the israeli
00:17:26.723 --> 00:17:29.492
People. and i will fight for that same right. to let me go
00:17:29.492 --> 00:17:33.396
Help the people in gaza is to and that's what we're working
00:17:33.396 --> 00:17:36.599
On right now. i want to see peace come to the land, and
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.702
Hamas is going to have to be resolved.
00:17:39.702 --> 00:17:42.372
>> so you see hamas as an obstacle for humanitarian help.
00:17:42.372 --> 00:17:45.775
>> oh, there's no question. they're controlling the food.
00:17:45.775 --> 00:17:48.678
They're controlling the markets. it's not just that they're
00:17:48.678 --> 00:17:51.714
Taking truckloads of food, but they're able to control the
00:17:51.714 --> 00:17:55.285
Markets, the market prices. and i've talked to enough
00:17:55.285 --> 00:17:57.754
Palestinian people. they're scared to death of hamas.
00:17:57.754 --> 00:18:00.423
>> can you give us an overview of what's going on, not just
00:18:00.423 --> 00:18:04.327
With samaritan's purse, but from what you saw and what you
00:18:04.327 --> 00:18:08.064
Heard, because you're very familiar on the situation.
00:18:08.064 --> 00:18:09.732
What's going on now when you talk about humanitarian helping
00:18:09.732 --> 00:18:13.736
In gaza.
00:18:13.736 --> 00:18:14.871
>> the access is limited. it's an active war zone. there is
00:18:14.971 --> 00:18:20.510
Tension between the un and this new thing that has been formed,
00:18:20.510 --> 00:18:24.914
Called the gaza humanitarian foundation. and i believe that
00:18:24.914 --> 00:18:28.718
The un sees a threat, really, to their existence of the
00:18:28.718 --> 00:18:34.724
Humanitarian industrial complex. if there's a new entity, if
00:18:34.724 --> 00:18:38.928
There's a new way to help the needs of the people, the un
00:18:38.928 --> 00:18:41.664
Sees all this going away. this isn't going to win me any
00:18:41.664 --> 00:18:44.501
Brownie points here saying these things. but i have been
00:18:44.501 --> 00:18:48.671
In meetings and i've seen, like i said, distortion of facts.
00:18:48.671 --> 00:18:51.941
And it's not right. israel does not have a policy to shoot
00:18:51.941 --> 00:18:56.513
Palestinians. israel does not have a policy, nor are they
00:18:56.513 --> 00:19:00.783
Enacting means to starve people. but then i saw an instance also
00:19:00.783 --> 00:19:05.889
Where recently the un had 948 trucks of supplies that they
00:19:05.889 --> 00:19:10.860
Had taken in that were sitting on the ground inside of gaza,
00:19:10.860 --> 00:19:15.698
And it had been there for a long time when we called their
00:19:15.698 --> 00:19:19.302
Hand on it. and when the video footage came up on it, 48 hours
00:19:19.302 --> 00:19:23.640
Later, they started moving that food like left and right. the
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.476
Un had military guards in somalia. they had them in
00:19:26.476 --> 00:19:31.414
Rwanthey had them in bosnia, they had them in croatia, they
00:19:31.414 --> 00:19:34.517
Had them in afghanistan. they had them in iraq. they got them
00:19:34.517 --> 00:19:38.488
In congo. they have. oh, and in fact, a month ago they signed
00:19:38.488 --> 00:19:42.091
Another contract with a private military contractor in somalia
00:19:42.091 --> 00:19:45.361
To help them deliver their food. so why is it that they they
00:19:45.361 --> 00:19:49.432
Don't want xi involved? and why is it that they don't want the
00:19:49.432 --> 00:19:54.504
Idf involved to help with secure passages? you know, they
00:19:54.504 --> 00:19:57.707
Have their own reasoning for that. i don't agree with it.
00:19:57.707 --> 00:20:00.476
But here's what i do agree with. you have to have humanitarian
00:20:00.476 --> 00:20:04.681
Access, and that means that you have to work with the armed
00:20:04.681 --> 00:20:07.383
Combatants. you can't ignore one side. and israel controls
00:20:07.383 --> 00:20:11.788
Gaza. anybody that's going to do humanitarian work inside of
00:20:11.788 --> 00:20:15.658
Gaza is going to have to have a relationship with israel. and i
00:20:15.658 --> 00:20:19.596
Have found that the idf and that the israeli government,
00:20:19.596 --> 00:20:23.666
Cogat, are very cooperative. they're looking for ways to
00:20:23.666 --> 00:20:27.837
Move things forward. and and we are doing all that we can in
00:20:27.837 --> 00:20:32.208
Cooperation with them because we want access to the
00:20:32.208 --> 00:20:35.378
Palestinian people in gaza so that we can help them in jesus
00:20:35.378 --> 00:20:39.249
Name. that's who we are, and that's what we do.
00:20:39.249 --> 00:20:41.584
>> what's your next step here of samaritan's purse in gaza?
00:20:41.584 --> 00:20:45.488
Around the country.
00:20:45.488 --> 00:20:46.689
>> the situation is at hand with gps and the secure sites,
00:20:46.689 --> 00:20:50.460
The logistics and the security apparatus they're setting up
00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:53.563
That we can reach more people. i think that people in gaza,
00:20:53.563 --> 00:20:58.101
The palestinians, they need a place where they can come to
00:20:58.101 --> 00:21:00.336
Without the threat of their lives or injury from hamas.
00:21:00.336 --> 00:21:03.573
>> and wait, wait, you're saying something according to
00:21:03.573 --> 00:21:06.576
What you say, hamas is threatening people who are
00:21:06.576 --> 00:21:09.345
Coming to get help.
00:21:09.345 --> 00:21:10.480
>> yes, they've told me that. i mean, i've been in the
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:13.383
Distribution sites and they've come up the ones that speak
00:21:13.383 --> 00:21:16.486
English and say hamas is threatening to kill us. it's
00:21:16.486 --> 00:21:18.388
Dangerous for us to come here, but yet they come. why do they
00:21:18.388 --> 00:21:22.158
Come? if they were worried about the idf or j.h.f? they
00:21:22.158 --> 00:21:24.560
Wouldn't come. but. but they come because they're desperate
00:21:24.560 --> 00:21:27.830
For food. but they also come because they feel safe there.
00:21:27.830 --> 00:21:31.100
They're worrieout going back. that's where they're
00:21:31.100 --> 00:21:33.903
Worried about. and so what we are as samaritan's purse are
00:21:33.903 --> 00:21:36.739
Doing, we have set up first aid stations at the distribution
00:21:36.739 --> 00:21:40.610
Sites. we're also setting up distributions separately for
00:21:40.610 --> 00:21:43.379
Women with supplemental food. and now we're seeing like 4000
00:21:43.379 --> 00:21:47.450
Women a day come in. we're able to supply things with them, and
00:21:47.450 --> 00:21:51.254
We want to build on that and do more. it's a war. it's sad,
00:21:51.254 --> 00:21:55.692
Samuel, but people die in war and and people that weren't the
00:21:55.692 --> 00:22:00.396
Target die in war. but frankly. and that's if hamas had not
00:22:00.396 --> 00:22:05.201
Have built their tunnels under the houses and the schools and
00:22:05.201 --> 00:22:09.439
The mosques, and if they hadn't put weapons under their you
00:22:09.439 --> 00:22:13.176
Wouldn't be looking at what you're looking at now. and this
00:22:13.176 --> 00:22:16.412
War has been designed by the creators of the war to maximize
00:22:16.412 --> 00:22:21.217
Death among the palestinian people.
00:22:21.217 --> 00:22:23.419
>> we're sitting here with ken isaacs, and he's giving us
00:22:23.419 --> 00:22:27.223
Facts that not that he heard about it, not that he gathered
00:22:27.223 --> 00:22:30.293
From a book or from the media. he brings us firsthand
00:22:30.293 --> 00:22:33.496
Information. you have volunteers? volunteers from
00:22:33.496 --> 00:22:36.766
Around the world that are coming to volunteer. what do
00:22:36.766 --> 00:22:40.303
You tell them? i mean, they're coming into a war zone.
00:22:40.303 --> 00:22:44.107
>> they're not just guys that walk in off the street. they're
00:22:44.107 --> 00:22:47.477
Carefully selected. and then we bring them out knowing that
00:22:47.477 --> 00:22:49.345
They represent us. and then we try to do everything that we
00:22:49.345 --> 00:22:53.015
Can to support them and to guide them. and we call them
00:22:53.015 --> 00:22:56.452
Dart disaster assistance response team. and we have
00:22:56.452 --> 00:22:58.921
About 2700 people on that list. we believe that the quality of
00:22:58.921 --> 00:23:02.358
Our work is the platform of our witness. if we're going to give
00:23:02.358 --> 00:23:06.062
People medical attention, if we're going to give them clean
00:23:06.062 --> 00:23:08.698
Water, we want it to be the best.
00:23:08.698 --> 00:23:11.501
>> are you looking for more volunteers?
00:23:11.501 --> 00:23:12.602
>> we're always looking for more dart team members.
00:23:12.602 --> 00:23:15.071
>> guys, if you're watching us and you want to do something,
00:23:15.071 --> 00:23:18.841

00:23:18.841 --> 00:23:21.110
Something really to help somebody in needs, contact
00:23:21.110 --> 00:23:25.081

>> yes, ken.
00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:39.162
>> we know that there is wars around the world. we know
00:23:39.162 --> 00:23:42.832
There's disaster around the world. israel is always taking
00:23:42.832 --> 00:23:47.303
Almost 90% of all the media. and nobody talks about
00:23:47.303 --> 00:23:50.273
Suffering around the world as we talk right now.
00:23:50.273 --> 00:23:53.209
>> well, i mean, look at sudan right now. there's 12 million
00:23:53.209 --> 00:23:57.847
People displaced, 150,000 dead, and it's well documented.
00:23:57.847 --> 00:24:00.983
Nobody's talking about it.
00:24:00.983 --> 00:24:02.118
>> why?
00:24:02.118 --> 00:24:03.319
>> i have to think that israel has a special place from the
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:08.224
Dawn of creation in the in the biblical worldview, until jesus
00:24:08.224 --> 00:24:13.196
Comes again, there's something supernatural about it.
00:24:13.196 --> 00:24:18.634
>> when you look forward, what's your hope for israel and
00:24:18.634 --> 00:24:22.805
This region?
00:24:22.805 --> 00:24:23.873
>> you know, from a biblical worldview, it's ultimately
00:24:23.973 --> 00:24:27.143
Going to be the return of christ. but we don't know when
00:24:27.143 --> 00:24:30.379
That is. i don't know if that'll be five days or 500
00:24:30.379 --> 00:24:33.082
Going to be the return of years or 5000 years. i don't n know what that'll be. but in my
00:24:33.082 --> 00:24:37.753
Heart, i would like to see peace. i would like to see
00:24:37.753 --> 00:24:42.158
People get along. why do people need to fight and kill each
00:24:42.158 --> 00:24:45.995
Other? why is there hatred? why is there brutality? why is
00:24:45.995 --> 00:24:48.397
There darkness?
00:24:48.397 --> 00:24:49.732
>> it's demonic.
00:24:49.732 --> 00:24:50.833
>> it's demonic. it is demonic. and anybody that doesn't
00:24:50.933 --> 00:24:53.169
Understand that there are powers of darkness in the world.
00:24:53.169 --> 00:24:58.908
They need to read the bible.
00:24:58.908 --> 00:25:02.378
>> ken. foreclosing. do you have any message and a thought
00:25:02.378 --> 00:25:05.314
That you want to express from the studio of tbn here to the
00:25:05.314 --> 00:25:09.118
Rest of the world?
00:25:09.118 --> 00:25:10.353
>> i would say that no matter where you live, if you live in
00:25:10.353 --> 00:25:14.524
Jerusalem or if you live in new york, the fire may be on the
00:25:14.524 --> 00:25:18.160
Other side of the world, but it also could be on the other side
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.931
Of the room. it could be on the other side of the street. go
00:25:21.931 --> 00:25:25.434
There and help people in jesus name. show love. show
00:25:25.434 --> 00:25:28.137
Compassion. show service. god will reward you and you can
00:25:28.137 --> 00:25:31.007
Trust him in all thi this is the message. so for the
00:25:31.007 --> 00:25:34.810
Young generation, please don't live a life where you're bound
00:25:34.810 --> 00:25:38.381
In by your own desires and your heart, but live a life where
00:25:38.381 --> 00:25:42.118
You're living outside to help the world and others, and do it
00:25:42.118 --> 00:25:44.921
In the name of christ. and he will bless that.
00:25:44.921 --> 00:25:47.490
>> ken isaacs, running to the fire helping in jesus name.
00:25:47.490 --> 00:25:51.127
Thank you, my dear brother.
00:25:51.127 --> 00:25:52.395
>> well, thank you, but i want to do something before we quit.
00:25:52.395 --> 00:25:55.097
I want to send that book to matt crouch and i want to sign
00:25:55.097 --> 00:25:59.001
It. oh, and you're going to get it delivered. can you do that?
00:25:59.001 --> 00:26:02.271
>> yes, i definitely can.
00:26:02.271 --> 00:26:03.506
>> tbn has been a great friend to samaritan's purse over the
00:26:03.506 --> 00:26:07.577
Years, and we love them. and we appreciate the ministry so much.
00:26:07.577 --> 00:26:13.549

On today. i'm honored.
00:26:22.058 --> 00:26:23.292
>> thank you. ken isaacs and thank you guys for joining us.
00:26:23.292 --> 00:26:27.463
Keep praying for the peace of jerusalem, for this region, for
00:26:27.463 --> 00:26:30.700
The jews and the arabs. andck t.
00:26:30.700 --> 00:26:34.136
>> thank you very much, samuel smadja, for your unique
00:26:34.136 --> 00:26:38.207
Perspective on this subject. we will continue to report on
00:26:38.207 --> 00:26:41.010
Every development related to israel. so keep spreading the
00:26:41.010 --> 00:26:44.080
Truth. and now let's go to a short commercial break, after
00:26:44.080 --> 00:26:47.984
Which we will return to pray together for the peace of
00:26:47.984 --> 00:26:52.221
Jerusalem.
00:26:52.221 --> 00:26:58.000
Jerusalem.
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:01.817
Thank you for coming back to us. at this point, the
00:27:02.851 --> 00:27:06.888
Best thing that all of us can do is unite in prayer, because
00:27:06.888 --> 00:27:10.959
This is a spiritual war. there's no other reason why. at
00:27:10.959 --> 00:27:14.896
The united nations general assembly, everybody will be
00:27:14.896 --> 00:27:18.834
Speaking about israel. there's no reason. while seven
00:27:18.834 --> 00:27:23.071
Different countries would launch attacks against the
00:27:23.071 --> 00:27:25.373
Jewish state, unless it is a spiritual battle and this is
00:27:25.373 --> 00:27:28.977
What it is. and how do you fight a spiritual battle? you
00:27:28.977 --> 00:27:32.814
Pray. so let's unite in prayer to our father in heaven to
00:27:32.814 --> 00:27:37.319
Protect the idf soldiers, to give wisdom to our leaders, to
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.289
Your leaders, to make the right decisions, to take control of
00:27:41.289 --> 00:27:45.193
This very, very complicated situation. let's pray that god
00:27:45.193 --> 00:27:49.097
Will use these hard times to spread his life, his love to
00:27:49.097 --> 00:27:53.101
The rest of the world and touch people's heart. because when
00:27:53.101 --> 00:27:58.039
Things are tough, when the situation looks so hard that
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:02.177
There is no solution, that's where god likes to make the
00:28:02.177 --> 00:28:04.946
Best miracle that he can do. because there's no question if
00:28:04.946 --> 00:28:09.885
It was made by men or by him, if the situation was so tough.
00:28:09.885 --> 00:28:16.024
And these are the miracles that our father likes to make. so
00:28:16.024 --> 00:28:18.860
Let's pray for a miracle. let's pray for the peace of jerusalem.
00:28:18.860 --> 00:28:18.860
