  • With us mr. amir tsarfati, the president of behold israel. very
  • 00:06:54.070 --> 00:06:58.241
  • Famous author here from israel. amir is a friend, a brother, and
  • 00:06:58.241 --> 00:07:04.448
  • We go almost 30 years together. more than 30 years. oh, man. and
  • 00:07:04.448 --> 00:07:09.853
  • Today we're going to talk about the relationship of israel and
  • 00:07:09.853 --> 00:07:15.158
  • America. there's no doubt that we are in a special time in the
  • 00:07:15.158 --> 00:07:22.899
  • Middle east. we're in a special time in israel. we started at
  • 00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:25.902
  • Seven of october with a terrible, terrible war in the
  • 00:07:25.902 --> 00:07:28.472
  • Middle east. there was a change in america during this war in
  • 00:07:28.472 --> 00:07:31.341
  • The white house. biden went to retirement. trump came in and we
  • 00:07:31.341 --> 00:07:37.180
  • Saw a shift. let's talk about this relationship. first of all,
  • 00:07:37.180 --> 00:07:41.084
  • Let's talk about the differences between biden's time at the
  • 00:07:41.084 --> 00:07:45.422
  • White house and trump's time in the white house during the war.
  • 00:07:45.422 --> 00:07:49.826
  • And let's take it from there.
  • 00:07:49.826 --> 00:07:51.094
  • >> yeah. so, first of all, there is a fundamental difference
  • 00:07:51.094 --> 00:07:54.064
  • Between the democrats and the republicans when it comes to
  • 00:07:54.064 --> 00:07:56.900
  • Israel, because the republicans are very much into the
  • 00:07:56.900 --> 00:08:00.470
  • Theological, spiritual connection with israel, where
  • 00:08:00.470 --> 00:08:02.806
  • The democrats see more the value of israel as an ally in the
  • 00:08:02.806 --> 00:08:06.743
  • Middle east when it comes to economy, military and so on,
  • 00:08:06.743 --> 00:08:11.448
  • Democracy and so on. i will say that america in a whole, i
  • 00:08:11.448 --> 00:08:15.585
  • Believe from the moment israel was born, america was already
  • 00:08:15.585 --> 00:08:21.157
  • Given a mandate to stand by israel. you can clearly see that
  • 00:08:21.157 --> 00:08:25.729
  • Sometimes it went easier. sometimes it was tougher. when
  • 00:08:25.729 --> 00:08:29.366
  • President truman had to decide whether i'm going to recognize
  • 00:08:29.366 --> 00:08:33.069
  • The newborn state of israel, he did it against the democrats who
  • 00:08:33.069 --> 00:08:38.708
  • Were manning the state department. and he did that, and
  • 00:08:38.708 --> 00:08:42.679
  • That changed everything. fast forward to 1973. israel was
  • 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:46.583
  • Almost annihilated in yom kippur war. golda meir picks up the
  • 00:08:46.583 --> 00:08:50.720
  • Phone, calls the republican president, richard nixon, and
  • 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.924
  • Says, mr. president, if within 48 hours america is not going to
  • 00:08:53.924 --> 00:08:58.528
  • Help us, israel won't survive. and the president stopped and
  • 00:08:58.528 --> 00:09:01.498
  • Said, golda, i want to tell you something. when i was a boy, my
  • 00:09:01.498 --> 00:09:05.802
  • Mom raised me to read bible stories. and one time she read
  • 00:09:05.802 --> 00:09:08.705
  • Me a bible story and she stopped and she said, richard, i want
  • 00:09:08.705 --> 00:09:12.943
  • You to promise me that if you ever have a chance to help the
  • 00:09:12.943 --> 00:09:16.580
  • Jewish people do so. and then he said, golda, maybe for the first
  • 00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:20.984
  • Time i know why i became the president of the united states.
  • 00:09:20.984 --> 00:09:24.487
  • He hung up the phone. and the largest armament airlift of
  • 00:09:24.487 --> 00:09:27.190
  • Armament since world war ii took place. so just to set the tone
  • 00:09:27.190 --> 00:09:31.928
  • Of how important america is and how important it is to
  • 00:09:31.928 --> 00:09:35.332
  • Understand that there is a connection between the values
  • 00:09:35.332 --> 00:09:38.068
  • The president gets before he becomes president. and when it
  • 00:09:38.068 --> 00:09:42.038
  • Comes to biden and trump, it was evident that biden understands
  • 00:09:42.038 --> 00:09:48.111
  • The necessity to stand by israel. but his foreign policy
  • 00:09:48.111 --> 00:09:54.351
  • Has always been appeasement and appeasement and appeasement.
  • 00:09:54.351 --> 00:09:58.321
  • Whereas trump is peace through strength. these are two
  • 00:09:58.321 --> 00:10:02.659
  • Different ideologies. and so i believe that america has a
  • 00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:08.031
  • Mandate, and i believe that any president that will embrace it
  • 00:10:08.031 --> 00:10:12.035
  • Will cause america to prosper and will cause america to
  • 00:10:12.035 --> 00:10:15.972
  • Succeed. any american, that president that will reject it
  • 00:10:15.972 --> 00:10:21.411
  • Will literally bring america to places that america should not
  • 00:10:21.411 --> 00:10:25.715
  • Be.
  • 00:10:25.715 --> 00:10:26.916
  • >> but we see a very interesting thing. trump just had a visit
  • 00:10:27.017 --> 00:10:29.786
  • Here in the middle east and he building very, very strong
  • 00:10:29.786 --> 00:10:34.290
  • Relationship with new or i can't say new, but major players in
  • 00:10:34.290 --> 00:10:39.996
  • The middle east. correct. he just went to dubai. he went to
  • 00:10:39.996 --> 00:10:43.466
  • Qatar, he went to. saudi arabia, saudi arabia.
  • 00:10:43.466 --> 00:10:46.202
  • >> but it's a business trip.
  • 00:10:46.202 --> 00:10:47.237
  • >> and let's be honest, it didn't stop here.
  • 00:10:47.237 --> 00:10:50.540
  • >> correct. and i would advise him not to also.
  • 00:10:50.540 --> 00:10:53.043
  • >> really?
  • 00:10:53.043 --> 00:10:54.210
  • >> yes. because. because it was a business trip. every time
  • 00:10:54.310 --> 00:10:57.647
  • Someone wants to have a what i call a wedge between the
  • 00:10:57.647 --> 00:11:04.220
  • President of america and the israeli prime minister, whether
  • 00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:07.557
  • It's the left, whether it's the media, whether it's the
  • 00:11:07.557 --> 00:11:10.827
  • Democrats, whether it's journalists, whatever. they
  • 00:11:10.827 --> 00:11:12.429
  • Always say that trump has abandoned israel. he threw
  • 00:11:12.429 --> 00:11:15.465
  • Israel under the bus, and now he's going to recognize the
  • 00:11:15.465 --> 00:11:18.234
  • Palestinian state. he's going to let iran do this. and every time
  • 00:11:18.234 --> 00:11:21.071
  • They're proven wrong, he did not say a word about a palestinian
  • 00:11:21.071 --> 00:11:25.308
  • State. he did not even make the israeli-palestinian and gaza
  • 00:11:25.308 --> 00:11:29.612
  • Thing an issue.
  • 00:11:29.612 --> 00:11:30.880
  • >> most of it was smart.
  • 00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:32.082
  • >> of it. it was very that's my point. he's standing there
  • 00:11:32.082 --> 00:11:35.452
  • Giving a 30 to 40 minutes long speech in saudi arabia. talk to
  • 00:11:35.452 --> 00:11:38.555
  • Them about it. i economy, politics, strength, military.
  • 00:11:38.555 --> 00:11:45.595
  • >> cooperation and so on.
  • 00:11:45.595 --> 00:11:46.896
  • >> and he spoke to his audience. why tainting it with israel and
  • 00:11:46.896 --> 00:11:50.300
  • Gaza? there's no point. i think it was a smart thing not to stop
  • 00:11:50.300 --> 00:11:54.571
  • Here. but at the same time, sometimes when someone is in an
  • 00:11:54.571 --> 00:11:57.874
  • Echo chamber of only hearing one side, you know how it is. you
  • 00:11:57.874 --> 00:12:02.512
  • Tend to make rush decisions that might not be taking into
  • 00:12:02.512 --> 00:12:07.250
  • Consideration other things. i believe he's smart. i don't
  • 00:12:07.250 --> 00:12:10.053
  • Agree with him on everything he does, but hey, i'm an israeli.
  • 00:12:10.053 --> 00:12:13.256
  • He's an american. he's not my president. and you know what? he
  • 00:12:13.256 --> 00:12:17.527
  • Is there to fulfill a policy for which american people voted.
  • 00:12:17.527 --> 00:12:22.365
  • >> it's not your president. but if he was, if he would be
  • 00:12:22.365 --> 00:12:25.835
  • Elected in israel, he would get majority.
  • 00:12:25.835 --> 00:12:28.404
  • >> absolutely, absolutely. because the israelis are
  • 00:12:28.404 --> 00:12:31.741
  • Identifying themselves with the causes of president trump. and
  • 00:12:31.741 --> 00:12:35.612
  • That's my point. again, i will be staunch critic critic when it
  • 00:12:35.612 --> 00:12:40.650
  • Comes to dealing with the devil. dealing with qatar is dealing
  • 00:12:40.650 --> 00:12:44.320
  • With the devil, dealing with with erdogan, is dealing with
  • 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.524
  • Devil dealing with julani is dealing with them. these are all
  • 00:12:47.524 --> 00:12:51.494
  • Jihadists. but i do see why he does it. i don't agree with it,
  • 00:12:51.494 --> 00:12:56.533
  • But i see why he does it.
  • 00:12:56.533 --> 00:12:57.901
  • >> israel is on a verge of a if we want to say, extending the
  • 00:12:57.901 --> 00:13:02.372
  • War with hamas, what do you think america will do with the
  • 00:13:02.372 --> 00:13:07.911
  • Support us, allow us where we standing?
  • 00:13:07.911 --> 00:13:10.780
  • >> i think america will 100% allow us because they don't see
  • 00:13:10.780 --> 00:13:14.584
  • The alternative as a viable thing. i think that once again,
  • 00:13:14.584 --> 00:13:19.389
  • Trump said that america will eventually take control of gaza
  • 00:13:19.389 --> 00:13:24.027
  • And, and, and make sure that it will be something different. and
  • 00:13:24.027 --> 00:13:29.065
  • For that, he needs us to finish the job. he will not enter into
  • 00:13:29.065 --> 00:13:33.870
  • Gaza when you have terrorists inside, and we have terrorist
  • 00:13:33.870 --> 00:13:37.373
  • Sympathizers still inside.
  • 00:13:37.373 --> 00:13:38.608
  • >> we are seeing a new middle east. we're seeing new players
  • 00:13:38.608 --> 00:13:43.213
  • In the middle east, and we see the stand of the white house vis
  • 00:13:43.213 --> 00:13:49.953
  • A vis syria, for example. it. does this bring you any concern?
  • 00:13:49.953 --> 00:13:54.691
  • Yes.
  • 00:13:54.691 --> 00:13:55.792
  • >> because i as an israeli, i don't trust jihadists.
  • 00:13:55.792 --> 00:14:00.763
  • >> but i'm not talking about trusting jihadis or not. do you
  • 00:14:00.763 --> 00:14:04.133
  • Think america is forsaking israel in any way?
  • 00:14:04.133 --> 00:14:06.936
  • >> no, i don't think so. i think america doesn't fully understand
  • 00:14:06.936 --> 00:14:11.274
  • The nature of who america is dealing with. but it's not
  • 00:14:11.274 --> 00:14:14.911
  • Because it is forsaking israel.
  • 00:14:14.911 --> 00:14:16.679
  • >> exactly.
  • 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:17.714
  • >> i think there is an innocence, naivete, something
  • 00:14:17.814 --> 00:14:19.816
  • That is. and that's why i offer to advise to the president on
  • 00:14:19.816 --> 00:14:25.255
  • How the other side is thinking. but again, this is not my.
  • 00:14:25.255 --> 00:14:28.524
  • >> i'm sure he has plenty of advice.
  • 00:14:28.524 --> 00:14:30.927
  • >> i'm sure. exactly. and many of them are israelis also. but
  • 00:14:30.927 --> 00:14:33.529
  • The thing is this look, i believe that there is no malice
  • 00:14:33.529 --> 00:14:36.866
  • There. there is no intention to abandon israel. intention to
  • 00:14:36.866 --> 00:14:41.137
  • Walk away from israel. no, i don't think there are sometimes
  • 00:14:41.137 --> 00:14:44.674
  • Mistakes that are made because of the lack of understanding of
  • 00:14:44.674 --> 00:14:49.245
  • Who they're dealing with. the middle east is a different ball
  • 00:14:49.245 --> 00:14:53.049
  • Game. it's not europe, it's not china. it's not. this is not all
  • 00:14:53.049 --> 00:14:57.253
  • About money. there is there is tribal affiliation. there is
  • 00:14:57.253 --> 00:15:01.658
  • Religious affiliation. there is historical affiliation. it's not
  • 00:15:01.658 --> 00:15:07.163
  • Something where, you know, lifting sanctions. that's it.
  • 00:15:07.163 --> 00:15:09.666
  • I'm your friend. i'm in love with you. the americans tried it
  • 00:15:09.666 --> 00:15:12.802
  • In afghanistan. the americans helped the mujahideen in
  • 00:15:12.802 --> 00:15:17.273
  • Afghanistan so they can beat russia. did that turn the
  • 00:15:17.273 --> 00:15:20.677
  • Mujahideen who later on became the ruling power in iran? did
  • 00:15:20.677 --> 00:15:25.782
  • That turn them into american lovers? no. when they finished
  • 00:15:25.782 --> 00:15:28.918
  • Slaughtering the russians, they began slaughtering the
  • 00:15:28.918 --> 00:15:31.187
  • Americans. and so, again, you have to understand who you're
  • 00:15:31.187 --> 00:15:34.390
  • Dealing with in the. the sooner they will understand the
  • 00:15:34.390 --> 00:15:39.128
  • Mentality, the better it is for them.
  • 00:15:39.128 --> 00:15:41.998
  • >> it was just in the middle east. he did tremendous deals,
  • 00:15:41.998 --> 00:15:46.569
  • Deals that will boost the american economy, no doubt. and
  • 00:15:46.569 --> 00:15:49.539
  • I think many of the deals were smart and very good. are you
  • 00:15:49.539 --> 00:15:54.978
  • Concerned from the military deals that he did selling
  • 00:15:54.978 --> 00:15:58.181
  • Weapons to countries that we don't know if they are with us
  • 00:15:58.181 --> 00:16:00.984
  • Or against us?
  • 00:16:00.984 --> 00:16:02.885
  • >> no, i'm not concerned.
  • 00:16:02.885 --> 00:16:03.953
  • >> you're not concerned of all those f-35 and all?
  • 00:16:03.953 --> 00:16:05.888
  • >> no. first of all, i don't think he really sold f-35s. he's
  • 00:16:05.888 --> 00:16:10.193
  • Talking about that. i'm not sure. most of the deals that i'm
  • 00:16:10.193 --> 00:16:14.030
  • Aware of did not really include that. the only country that
  • 00:16:14.030 --> 00:16:16.966
  • Wants to buy it is turkey, but turkey is actually a member of
  • 00:16:16.966 --> 00:16:21.671
  • The team that developed it. i don't know if, you know, parts
  • 00:16:21.671 --> 00:16:24.607
  • Of the f-35s are made in turkey. yes. so turkey was banned from
  • 00:16:24.607 --> 00:16:28.478
  • The f-35 because turkey bought anti-aircraft systems from
  • 00:16:28.478 --> 00:16:32.782
  • Russia. and so trump punished them. he said, okay, if you're
  • 00:16:32.782 --> 00:16:35.985
  • Buying from russia stuff and you're a member of nato, then
  • 00:16:35.985 --> 00:16:38.721
  • You're not getting my f-35s. but i am not concerned because after
  • 00:16:38.721 --> 00:16:43.292
  • All, the bottom line is who is flying the f-35. and after all,
  • 00:16:43.292 --> 00:16:47.930
  • The future is not in f-35, it's in drones, it's in uav uavs. the
  • 00:16:47.930 --> 00:16:53.636
  • Future is way. if there is something you learn from the
  • 00:16:53.636 --> 00:16:57.607
  • Ukraine-russia war, and the war, even with the houthis, is that
  • 00:16:57.607 --> 00:17:01.878
  • It's the uavs. it's less money. it's you don't risk your own
  • 00:17:01.878 --> 00:17:07.250
  • Pilots and you achieve exactly the same target. and you can
  • 00:17:07.250 --> 00:17:11.320
  • Send 15, 20, 30, 50. if two will hit the target, it's enough for
  • 00:17:11.320 --> 00:17:15.958
  • You.
  • 00:17:15.958 --> 00:17:17.126
  • >> i mean, people are watching you from mainly from america,
  • 00:17:17.226 --> 00:17:19.529
  • People who love israel. why don't you tell them? what do you
  • 00:17:19.529 --> 00:17:24.667
  • Think?
  • 00:17:24.667 --> 00:17:25.835
  • >> i tell you, there is a danger in america right now that i
  • 00:17:25.935 --> 00:17:28.371
  • Think people should be aware of. and it's crawling also into the
  • 00:17:28.371 --> 00:17:33.976
  • Mainstream american, the everyday american that normally
  • 00:17:33.976 --> 00:17:38.614
  • Stands with israel. there's a group within the republicans
  • 00:17:38.614 --> 00:17:42.485
  • Right now, the conservative, that is known as the
  • 00:17:42.485 --> 00:17:47.623
  • Separatists. it's america first. but anything that has to do with
  • 00:17:47.623 --> 00:17:52.295
  • Protecting another country is not for us. in other words, if
  • 00:17:52.295 --> 00:17:58.768
  • You're planning on attacking iran, don't do it. it'll serve
  • 00:17:58.768 --> 00:18:02.038
  • Only israel's interests. we're not here to serve anybody else's
  • 00:18:02.038 --> 00:18:05.575
  • Interests in that type of mentality stems from the lack of
  • 00:18:05.575 --> 00:18:12.748
  • Understanding of the middle east, because if in the middle
  • 00:18:12.748 --> 00:18:17.386
  • East, someone is perceived as not standing with his allies,
  • 00:18:17.386 --> 00:18:22.191
  • Who will want to be his ally in the future.
  • 00:18:22.191 --> 00:18:25.394
  • >> okay, so you mean that can affect america in the future?
  • 00:18:25.394 --> 00:18:28.698
  • >> absolutely. i think that i think that in their mind, if we
  • 00:18:28.698 --> 00:18:32.301
  • Don't go to fight for someone or help someone in in a war, we
  • 00:18:32.301 --> 00:18:36.606
  • Will really take care of business of america only. but
  • 00:18:36.606 --> 00:18:39.542
  • You will never do that because.
  • 00:18:39.542 --> 00:18:42.345
  • >> maybe they say, listen, why my son? i live in oklahoma
  • 00:18:42.345 --> 00:18:46.415
  • Somewhere. why does my son needs to risk his life for israel?
  • 00:18:46.415 --> 00:18:50.253
  • >> you know what? let's be honest. don't risk your life.
  • 00:18:50.253 --> 00:18:53.055
  • Send israel the weapon. give israel the satellite information
  • 00:18:53.055 --> 00:18:57.627
  • And allow israel to do the job.
  • 00:18:57.627 --> 00:19:00.329
  • >> yeah. i'm willing. that sounds very good, but i have so
  • 00:19:00.329 --> 00:19:03.166
  • Many homeless in america.
  • 00:19:03.166 --> 00:19:04.734
  • >> i'm saying don't send anyone.
  • 00:19:04.734 --> 00:19:06.169
  • >> yeah, but no, no.
  • 00:19:06.169 --> 00:19:07.136
  • >> we will buy the weapon from the. we will.
  • 00:19:07.136 --> 00:19:09.906
  • >> buy paying the bill.
  • 00:19:09.906 --> 00:19:11.174
  • >> israel is always buying the weapon. they see. that's another
  • 00:19:11.174 --> 00:19:13.776
  • Lie from the pits of hell. israel is receiving aid only if
  • 00:19:13.776 --> 00:19:18.281
  • Israel will use it to buy weapons from america. it's a
  • 00:19:18.281 --> 00:19:21.651
  • Deal. it's a business deal. israel is not receiving free
  • 00:19:21.651 --> 00:19:24.820
  • Gifts. when we receive something is so we will not buy it
  • 00:19:24.820 --> 00:19:29.158
  • Elsewhere. and when we were told, don't develop your own
  • 00:19:29.158 --> 00:19:32.628
  • Fighter jet, it's because they want us to buy their own fighter
  • 00:19:32.628 --> 00:19:35.765
  • Jets. don't fight for us. don't send your your your kids. let us
  • 00:19:35.765 --> 00:19:40.269
  • Buy from you when you have an embargo. it's not embargo of
  • 00:19:40.269 --> 00:19:44.340
  • Giving us, it's embargo of selling us.
  • 00:19:44.340 --> 00:19:46.042
  • >> i have to stop you because we see the in the fights against
  • 00:19:46.042 --> 00:19:49.512
  • The houthis. america stood there. america bombed the
  • 00:19:49.512 --> 00:19:54.016
  • Houthis. so you cannot say that the americans are not. it's
  • 00:19:54.016 --> 00:19:56.886
  • Costing them money. the american taxpayer is paying the american
  • 00:19:56.886 --> 00:20:02.191
  • Pilots.
  • 00:20:02.191 --> 00:20:03.359
  • >> and who did america do that for? not israel.
  • 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.629
  • >> that's the.
  • 00:20:06.629 --> 00:20:07.330
  • >> question, not israel.
  • 00:20:07.330 --> 00:20:08.130
  • >> also israel.
  • 00:20:08.130 --> 00:20:08.698
  • >> i mean.
  • 00:20:08.698 --> 00:20:09.599
  • >> the missiles fall in israel.
  • 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:10.866
  • >> and they still fly. that's the thing. they never did it for
  • 00:20:10.866 --> 00:20:14.604
  • Israel because the ceasefire excludes israel. so it has never
  • 00:20:14.604 --> 00:20:18.741
  • Been about israel. it's been about free route of trade ships,
  • 00:20:18.741 --> 00:20:23.479
  • And it serves the interest of everyone.
  • 00:20:23.479 --> 00:20:26.048
  • >> everyone, including.
  • 00:20:26.048 --> 00:20:27.316
  • >> us, including. no, actually, they say if israeli ship will
  • 00:20:27.316 --> 00:20:29.619
  • Will go through, we will hit it. the look, america did it because
  • 00:20:29.619 --> 00:20:34.690
  • America needed to do it for the sake of trade. and by the way,
  • 00:20:34.690 --> 00:20:38.160
  • It did work because the houthis said, hey, it's too much for us.
  • 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:42.231
  • Why don't we do this? allow us to attack israel only don't
  • 00:20:42.231 --> 00:20:46.302
  • Attack us. we won't attack you. that's it. and you know, it was
  • 00:20:46.302 --> 00:20:49.071
  • A smart move. but now what i'm expecting them to do is at least
  • 00:20:49.071 --> 00:20:54.577
  • If you don't want to attack them, let us do it. the biden
  • 00:20:54.577 --> 00:20:58.781
  • Administration would not let us do it. that's the difference.
  • 00:20:58.781 --> 00:21:01.284
  • The difference is in the attitude, not just not selling
  • 00:21:01.284 --> 00:21:04.520
  • Us weapons, but telling us we will actively sabotage it if you
  • 00:21:04.520 --> 00:21:08.824
  • Do it.
  • 00:21:08.824 --> 00:21:09.992
  • >> so now the white house is allowing us to do it. let's talk
  • 00:21:10.092 --> 00:21:12.461
  • About iran. can we do it alone? yes.
  • 00:21:12.461 --> 00:21:16.365
  • >> yes, i'm sure, but we need satellite weapon and we need
  • 00:21:16.365 --> 00:21:22.972
  • Protection in the un and.
  • 00:21:22.972 --> 00:21:25.207
  • >> un and aerial protection against the missiles.
  • 00:21:25.207 --> 00:21:27.243
  • >> that's a given. america is there already. my point is, iran
  • 00:21:27.243 --> 00:21:30.980
  • Is already naked. we already destroy their air defense
  • 00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:35.518
  • Systems that were on their way. we paved the way for a strike.
  • 00:21:35.518 --> 00:21:38.554
  • >> we can still send missiles.
  • 00:21:38.554 --> 00:21:40.523
  • >> they can send missiles. and it's not a problem. israel can
  • 00:21:40.523 --> 00:21:44.093
  • Handle that. the problem is with iran is that in some sites, it's
  • 00:21:44.093 --> 00:21:49.565
  • So deep that you cannot just go and bomb one time. you have to
  • 00:21:49.565 --> 00:21:54.337
  • Take 3 to 4 days and do rounds of attacks on the same location.
  • 00:21:54.337 --> 00:21:58.808
  • So if one bunker buster will reach a certain depth, the next
  • 00:21:58.808 --> 00:22:03.012
  • One will go deeper and the next one will go deeper until you
  • 00:22:03.012 --> 00:22:05.981
  • Reach it. and for that, you need that you will not be attacked
  • 00:22:05.981 --> 00:22:09.618
  • From the other side. so america needs to give us an umbrella,
  • 00:22:09.618 --> 00:22:12.588
  • Okay? but america doesn't need to attack. we can do it. look,
  • 00:22:12.588 --> 00:22:16.559
  • Throughout the years, israel never trusted or lean on
  • 00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:20.863
  • American help. the only thing we wanted from america is don't
  • 00:22:20.863 --> 00:22:24.767
  • Stand on our way and give us the umbrella. that's all we want.
  • 00:22:24.767 --> 00:22:28.804
  • >> i mean, there's no doubt that america stood with israel from
  • 00:22:28.804 --> 00:22:32.274
  • The beginning. america is standing with israel for 77
  • 00:22:32.274 --> 00:22:35.644
  • Years. and the fact is that when those enemies of israel are
  • 00:22:35.644 --> 00:22:42.118
  • Coming against israel and they're burning flags of israel,
  • 00:22:42.118 --> 00:22:44.754
  • The burning flags of israel in america, when you see people
  • 00:22:44.754 --> 00:22:48.524
  • Walking on a flag in in iran, they're putting flags of israel
  • 00:22:48.524 --> 00:22:52.628
  • And flags of america. they see us as one. do you see a
  • 00:22:52.628 --> 00:22:57.900
  • Possibility of a separation between those two?
  • 00:22:57.900 --> 00:23:00.469
  • >> no. i think that the only way america will not stand by israel
  • 00:23:00.469 --> 00:23:05.107
  • Is when america will not be able to do that, even now, even now,
  • 00:23:05.107 --> 00:23:09.812
  • The eve of a possible agreement with iran, the president might
  • 00:23:09.812 --> 00:23:14.283
  • Say we are advancing. but the senate just sent him a letter,
  • 00:23:14.283 --> 00:23:18.854
  • And the congress and 200 signatures of both parties,
  • 00:23:18.854 --> 00:23:23.125
  • Bipartisan.
  • 00:23:23.125 --> 00:23:23.793
  • >> both sides of the house.
  • 00:23:23.793 --> 00:23:25.060
  • >> all of them are standing with israel, some of them for, you
  • 00:23:25.060 --> 00:23:29.298
  • Know, spiritual reasons, some of them for ideological and, you
  • 00:23:29.298 --> 00:23:33.302
  • Know, but that's why i said what we need from america. and i see
  • 00:23:33.302 --> 00:23:36.472
  • That's what we get from america is a coverage not only
  • 00:23:36.472 --> 00:23:41.210
  • Militarily but also in the diplomatic arena.
  • 00:23:41.210 --> 00:23:45.347
  • >> and it's a great opportunity to thank you. thank you,
  • 00:23:45.347 --> 00:23:48.751
  • America, thank you for the church in america, for standing
  • 00:23:48.751 --> 00:23:51.821
  • With israel, for israel. and thank you more for praying for
  • 00:23:51.821 --> 00:23:55.958
  • The peace of jerusalem, for the salvation of israel, and for
  • 00:23:55.958 --> 00:23:59.962
  • God's protection on israel. amir was great having you with us on
  • 00:23:59.962 --> 00:24:05.234
  • This show. thank you.
  • 00:24:05.234 --> 00:24:06.035
  • >> thank you very much.
  • 00:24:06.035 --> 00:24:08.137
  • >> back to you.
  • 00:24:08.137 --> 00:24:09.972
  • >> thank you. shmulik. there's so much information to process,
  • 00:24:09.972 --> 00:24:13.576
  • And many thanks to amir tsarfati and also to shmulik for
  • 00:24:13.576 --> 00:24:17.213
  • Clarifying things for us before we continue to a special prayer
  • 00:24:17.213 --> 00:24:21.083
  • For israel together, let's pause for a short commercial break,
  • 00:24:21.083 --> 00:24:25.020
  • And after which we'll be right back here to pray for the peace
  • 00:24:25.020 --> 00:24:30.826
  • Of jerusalem. a war zone in the gaza strip, being under fire by
  • 00:24:30.826 --> 00:24:39.168
  • Hamas terrorists. you don't have time to sit and drink your
  • 00:24:39.168 --> 00:24:41.937
  • Coffee and wake up in the morning and get ready for the
  • 00:24:41.937 --> 00:24:45.207
  • Day and prepare. so sometimes i woke up at two in the morning
  • 00:24:45.207 --> 00:24:49.278
  • After an hour and a half of sleep, and you need to wake up
  • 00:24:49.278 --> 00:24:53.449
  • Immediately and do your job and do it to perfection. or people
  • 00:24:53.449 --> 00:24:57.486
  • Die.
  • 00:24:57.486 --> 00:24:58.721
  • >> you literally have your life on the line. you don't know what
  • 00:24:58.821 --> 00:25:01.423
  • Corner you turn, and somebody got a gun pointed at you.
  • 00:25:01.423 --> 00:25:08.564
  • >> so in order to wake up, i just took a pill and i really
  • 00:25:08.564 --> 00:25:12.167
  • Felt the energy levels go up faster. the clarity of mind that
  • 00:25:12.167 --> 00:25:16.972
  • Doesn't usually happen immediately when you wake up in
  • 00:25:16.972 --> 00:25:19.141
  • The morning. and i don't remember taking much stuff with
  • 00:25:19.141 --> 00:25:22.745
  • Me into the gaza strip. had my sleeping bag, a flashlight, and
  • 00:25:22.745 --> 00:25:27.116
  • A vineyard bottle. so that's what i had with me.
  • 00:25:27.116 --> 00:25:30.486
  • >> you're a young person. you're very healthy, but you still
  • 00:25:30.486 --> 00:25:33.589
  • Think that vinea was helpful to get you to even a higher level
  • 00:25:33.589 --> 00:25:37.760
  • Of performance?
  • 00:25:37.760 --> 00:25:38.994
  • >> it's helping me to exceed my normal abilities. so let's say,
  • 00:25:39.094 --> 00:25:42.932
  • You know, i'm at 100%, and that puts me at 120. we're raising
  • 00:25:42.932 --> 00:25:47.903
  • Three kids. you need to be sharp to make the right decisions.
  • 00:25:47.903 --> 00:25:51.106
  • >> raising three kids may be equal to combat.
  • 00:25:51.106 --> 00:25:54.343
  • >> a lot harder, a lot harder. listen, i'm still taking dinner
  • 00:25:54.343 --> 00:25:57.947
  • Every day because i want to be there with my kids when they
  • 00:25:57.947 --> 00:26:01.216
  • Grow old. they want to be able to dance at their wedding and
  • 00:26:01.216 --> 00:26:04.820
  • Carry my kids and my grandkids for years to come. and this is
  • 00:26:04.820 --> 00:26:08.424
  • The time to start. i mean, when you're young.
  • 00:26:08.424 --> 00:26:12.004
  • The time to start. i mean, when you're young.
  • 00:26:12.004 --> 00:26:18.142
  • Thank you for coming back. it is vital that together we support
  • 00:26:19.376 --> 00:26:23.748
  • Israel and to support israel. i call on you to help us spread
  • 00:26:23.748 --> 00:26:27.952
  • The truth and to unite in prayer for the peace of jerusalem. we
  • 00:26:27.952 --> 00:26:32.990
  • Learned in the early days of this war that this is a
  • 00:26:32.990 --> 00:26:36.227
  • Spiritual battle, because it just doesn't make any sense why
  • 00:26:36.227 --> 00:26:40.164
  • All these nations around the world, including the houthis in
  • 00:26:40.164 --> 00:26:44.502
  • Yemen, want to destroy the jewish people and the people of
  • 00:26:44.502 --> 00:26:48.873
  • Israel? unless you look at it from a biblical perspective, god
  • 00:26:48.873 --> 00:26:54.345
  • Was faithful to the people of israel in bringing us back to
  • 00:26:54.345 --> 00:26:57.548
  • This land after 2000 years being all around the world. he's now
  • 00:26:57.548 --> 00:27:03.521
  • Faithful to the people of israel in defending us here against
  • 00:27:03.521 --> 00:27:07.825
  • Seven different enemies that are attacking us all at once. this
  • 00:27:07.825 --> 00:27:12.029
  • Is a testimony to his faithfulness to us as his
  • 00:27:12.029 --> 00:27:16.567
  • Followers around the world. so be encouraged that you serve a
  • 00:27:16.567 --> 00:27:20.905
  • Mighty god. and let's unite in prayer for the security of
  • 00:27:20.905 --> 00:27:25.943
  • Israel, for the idf soldiers, for the hostages that are still
  • 00:27:25.943 --> 00:27:29.680
  • Kept in the gaza strip, and most importantly, for the peace of
  • 00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:34.585
  • Jerusalem. this city right behind me.
  • 00:27:34.585 --> 00:27:34.585
