Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: The Truth Behind the Accusations | Stakelbeck Tonight | August 6, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:03.493 --> 00:00:05.028
I'm erick stakelbeck.
00:00:05.028 --> 00:00:06.196
And it's a sure sign that a civilization is in decline
00:00:06.196 --> 00:00:10.233
When it openly embraces its enemies.
00:00:10.233 --> 00:00:13.470
Today, across the western world, from canada to great
00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:16.473
Britain to france to australia and beyond.
00:00:16.473 --> 00:00:19.476
Formally, christian nations are throwing
00:00:19.476 --> 00:00:22.412
Open their borders to mass muslim immigration,
00:00:22.412 --> 00:00:25.682
Embracing antisemitism and condemning israel,
00:00:25.682 --> 00:00:29.352
All while abandoning the faith of their forefathers.
00:00:29.352 --> 00:00:33.256
The biblical beliefs
00:00:33.256 --> 00:00:34.624
That built judeo-christian western civilization,
00:00:34.624 --> 00:00:37.961
A civilization whose bedrocks were the ten commandments
00:00:37.961 --> 00:00:41.865
And the teachings of jesus.
00:00:41.865 --> 00:00:43.600
A civilization
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.001
That was shaped in ancient israel thousands of years ago.
00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:49.539
And yet, western leaders today seem to have very short memories
00:00:49.539 --> 00:00:54.477
Because from london to paris to ottawa,
00:00:54.477 --> 00:00:57.780
They're lining up to recognize a palestinian state
00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:01.551
That would oppose everything the west used to stand for.
00:01:01.551 --> 00:01:05.922
Here's a hamas official shortly after the october 7th massacre,
00:01:05.922 --> 00:01:09.792
Laying out the ultimate strategy of radical islamists,
00:01:09.792 --> 00:01:13.296
Whose ranks continue to grow throughout europe today.
00:01:13.296 --> 00:01:17.233
Watch.
00:01:17.233 --> 00:01:56.105
As you can see, it starts with israel and the jews.
00:01:57.106 --> 00:02:00.543
But it never ends with israel and the jews.
00:02:00.543 --> 00:02:03.246
That old rallying cry of jihadist everywhere.
00:02:03.246 --> 00:02:06.249
First the saturday people, then
00:02:06.249 --> 00:02:08.184
The sunday people is still very much in full effect.
00:02:08.184 --> 00:02:12.322
And what exactly does that look like?
00:02:12.322 --> 00:02:14.524
Well, we got a horrifying preview on october 7th, 2023,
00:02:14.524 --> 00:02:18.795
But since the so-called leaders of canada,
00:02:18.795 --> 00:02:21.864
The uk and france seem to have forgotten,
00:02:21.864 --> 00:02:25.034
Here's a helpful reminder.
00:02:25.034 --> 00:02:45.788
No gray areas there.
00:02:46.256 --> 00:02:48.391
And yet much of the west wants to reward
00:02:48.391 --> 00:02:51.060
People like the guy you just saw with a palestinian state
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:54.497
And shrink israel's borders even more.
00:02:54.497 --> 00:02:57.300
It's a complete collapse of moral clarity and common sense.
00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:01.938
But not everyone is buying the narrative.
00:03:01.938 --> 00:03:03.940
Folks, the way i see it, we've got two modern day
00:03:03.940 --> 00:03:06.643
Churchills in donald trump and benjamin netanyahu,
00:03:06.643 --> 00:03:10.346
Surrounded by a sea of neville chamberlain's.
00:03:10.346 --> 00:03:13.449
Thankfully, the trump bibi partnership
00:03:13.449 --> 00:03:15.752
Is changing the game in the middle east,
00:03:15.752 --> 00:03:17.754
But much of the battle is being fought not on the battlefield
00:03:17.754 --> 00:03:21.958
But on social media
00:03:21.958 --> 00:03:23.793
And in the court of public opinion,
00:03:23.793 --> 00:03:25.695
Where disinformation about israel is running rampant.
00:03:25.695 --> 00:03:29.432
Coming up, we're joined by our tbn israel
00:03:29.432 --> 00:03:31.668
Correspondent yair pinto to set the record straight
00:03:31.668 --> 00:03:35.004
About what's really happening on the ground in gaza.
00:03:35.004 --> 00:03:39.042
And it all starts now.
00:03:39.042 --> 00:03:58.561
As israel enters a critical
00:03:59.162 --> 00:04:01.164
New phase in its war against hamas,
00:04:01.164 --> 00:04:03.299
The stakes have never been higher.
00:04:03.299 --> 00:04:05.435
Prime minister benjamin
00:04:05.435 --> 00:04:06.569
Netanyahu has reportedly greenlit the full occupation
00:04:06.569 --> 00:04:10.740
Of the gaza strip, including areas
00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:12.875
Where israeli hostages are still being held.
00:04:12.875 --> 00:04:16.012
It's a bold move that signals the limits of diplomacy
00:04:16.012 --> 00:04:19.916
And the rising
00:04:19.916 --> 00:04:20.917
Urgency of broader military action against hamas.
00:04:20.917 --> 00:04:24.687
Joining us now from our jerusalem
00:04:24.687 --> 00:04:26.022
Studio is our tbn middle east
00:04:26.022 --> 00:04:27.757
Correspondent reporting directly from israel,
00:04:27.757 --> 00:04:30.326
Yair pinto, co-host of boots on the ground,
00:04:30.326 --> 00:04:32.528
Which you can see right here on tbn every thursday night. yeah.
00:04:32.528 --> 00:04:35.431
Always great to see you, my friend.
00:04:35.431 --> 00:04:36.899
And let's start with this strategy that it seems
00:04:36.899 --> 00:04:40.636
Will be employed,
00:04:40.636 --> 00:04:41.571
Perhaps in the days
00:04:41.571 --> 00:04:42.572
To come of full occupation of the gaza strip.
00:04:42.572 --> 00:04:45.875
Now, people watching, i might say, well,
00:04:45.875 --> 00:04:47.410
I thought israel already was occupying gaza
00:04:47.410 --> 00:04:50.480
As part of this war that obviously hamas
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.282
Launched on october 7th, 2023, nearly two years ago.
00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:56.219
Hard to believe what is a full occupation of gaza look like,
00:04:56.219 --> 00:05:00.656
And why would
00:05:00.656 --> 00:05:01.891
That be a good move, potentially for the israel defense forces?
00:05:01.891 --> 00:05:06.696
So, erick, the situation is like this.
00:05:07.530 --> 00:05:09.799
After hamas launched it, the attack against israeli
00:05:09.799 --> 00:05:12.735
Civilians in october 7th, israel
00:05:12.735 --> 00:05:15.738
Began a ground maneuver into gaza with two purposes.
00:05:15.738 --> 00:05:19.942
One is to retrieve the hostages, and the second
00:05:19.942 --> 00:05:23.312
Is to dismantle this terrorist organization, hamas.
00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:27.583
And so far, the idf is in control
00:05:27.583 --> 00:05:30.319
Of around 75% of the gaza strip.
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.123
But the forces on the ground did not enter key areas
00:05:34.123 --> 00:05:38.895
Like gaza city and the central refugee camps
00:05:38.895 --> 00:05:43.332
In the gaza strip because in these areas,
00:05:43.332 --> 00:05:46.836
According to the idf intelligence, hamas is keeping
00:05:46.836 --> 00:05:50.807
The remaining israeli hostages.
00:05:50.807 --> 00:05:52.642
We still have 50 israeli hostages out of them,
00:05:52.642 --> 00:05:56.112
20 are supposed to be still alive.
00:05:56.112 --> 00:05:59.015
And we've seen videos that hamas just published
00:05:59.015 --> 00:06:01.717
That the clock is ticking.
00:06:01.717 --> 00:06:03.820
They are starving them to death.
00:06:03.820 --> 00:06:07.056
This is the situation.
00:06:07.056 --> 00:06:08.524
Negotiations failed and prime minister
00:06:08.524 --> 00:06:11.694
Netanyahu of israel decided that's it.
00:06:11.694 --> 00:06:14.831
We are not
00:06:15.131 --> 00:06:16.399
Counting on diplomacy anymore with the terrorist organization.
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.702
We will not negotiate with terrorists no more.
00:06:19.702 --> 00:06:22.638
So he called on the idf chief of staff
00:06:22.638 --> 00:06:25.441
To prepare a plan to conquer the gaza strip
00:06:25.441 --> 00:06:29.111
And retrieve the hostages with a military operation.
00:06:29.111 --> 00:06:32.748
The chances, very, very good, very high
00:06:32.748 --> 00:06:37.086
That the hostages
00:06:37.086 --> 00:06:38.454
Will be hurt in such a move because hamas terrorists said
00:06:38.454 --> 00:06:42.124
That if they will see idf soldiers
00:06:42.124 --> 00:06:45.661
Coming near the locations of the hostages,
00:06:45.661 --> 00:06:48.664
They will order the terrorists to execute them
00:06:48.664 --> 00:06:52.301
Like they did in the past in the area of rafah.
00:06:52.301 --> 00:06:56.606
So this is the situation now.
00:06:56.606 --> 00:06:58.541
The idf is preparing multiple plans to the israeli
00:06:58.541 --> 00:07:02.011
Political echelon to make a decision on how to move next.
00:07:02.011 --> 00:07:06.782
Yeah. and yeah, you laid it out beautifully there.
00:07:06.782 --> 00:07:09.118
Look, it's just a very tough position for israel to be in.
00:07:09.118 --> 00:07:12.755
In that look, israel could have conquered hamas
00:07:12.755 --> 00:07:15.224
And conquer gaza within a week in the wake of october 7th.
00:07:15.224 --> 00:07:19.195
But the hostages, as you said, 20 living hostages still there.
00:07:19.195 --> 00:07:24.100
And look, we saw these images earlier
00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:26.369
This week released by hamas and islamic jihad out of gaza.
00:07:26.369 --> 00:07:29.705
These poor hostages are emaciated.
00:07:29.705 --> 00:07:32.141
It looks like scenes from the holocaust.
00:07:32.141 --> 00:07:34.343
I hate to say that it pains me to say that, but it's true.
00:07:34.343 --> 00:07:37.046
As you said.
00:07:37.046 --> 00:07:38.247
Yeah, hamas is intentionally starving the israeli hostages.
00:07:38.247 --> 00:07:42.752
If israel ramps things up militarily
00:07:42.752 --> 00:07:45.855
With the goal to just crush hamas and end this thing,
00:07:45.855 --> 00:07:49.292
I guess it's tough to say whether the hostages
00:07:49.292 --> 00:07:51.761
Would emerge from this alive, right?
00:07:51.761 --> 00:07:54.163
That's all along.
00:07:54.163 --> 00:07:55.464
That's why hamas has been holding on to the hostages.
00:07:55.464 --> 00:07:58.668
And now it seems like an end game.
00:07:58.668 --> 00:08:00.803
And i guess it's tough to say. right?
00:08:00.803 --> 00:08:02.204
If the hostages will survive this.
00:08:02.204 --> 00:08:06.676
Well, israel already proved in the past
00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:09.779
That an operation to retrieve the hostages can walk.
00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:13.049
We already retrieved two hostages with operation unknown.
00:08:13.049 --> 00:08:17.820
This was an operation within a heavily populated area
00:08:17.820 --> 00:08:21.824
In which the idf special forces were able
00:08:21.824 --> 00:08:25.795
To retrieve the living hostages out of hamas.
00:08:25.795 --> 00:08:29.265
So the hope is that with implied,
00:08:29.265 --> 00:08:31.867
A ground maneuver and pressure on the terrorist organization,
00:08:31.867 --> 00:08:36.906
The militants that are holding the hostages might agree
00:08:36.906 --> 00:08:41.410
To receive immunity,
00:08:41.410 --> 00:08:44.614
Financial benefits by giving out information
00:08:44.614 --> 00:08:47.783
Or even bringing the hostages to the israeli security forces.
00:08:47.783 --> 00:08:51.520
So hopefully that will be
00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:53.155
An option that will give us the hostages
00:08:53.155 --> 00:08:56.192
Back while still carrying out the ground maneuver.
00:08:56.192 --> 00:08:59.228
But we don't have any other options.
00:08:59.228 --> 00:09:01.430
We don't want this war.
00:09:01.430 --> 00:09:02.865
We just want our hostages back home
00:09:02.865 --> 00:09:05.534
And they don't want to negotiate.
00:09:05.534 --> 00:09:07.069
So what can we do?
00:09:07.069 --> 00:09:08.170
Military option is the only way now.
00:09:08.170 --> 00:09:10.806
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:10.806 --> 00:09:11.774
Agreed. 100%. it's such a tough situation.
00:09:11.774 --> 00:09:13.709
Israel has no other choice
00:09:13.709 --> 00:09:15.811
And you would think the world would see that.
00:09:15.811 --> 00:09:17.947
But yeah, that doesn't seem to be the case.
00:09:17.947 --> 00:09:19.949
After the break,
00:09:19.949 --> 00:09:21.050
We're going to break down with the air and look for
00:09:21.050 --> 00:09:22.952
Air is on the ground in gaza, reporting frequently.
00:09:22.952 --> 00:09:26.055
He sees it with his own two eyes.
00:09:26.055 --> 00:09:28.124
We're going to share about these false accusations
00:09:28.124 --> 00:09:31.394
Against israel, that israel is intentionally
00:09:31.394 --> 00:09:33.663
Starving the palestinians and much more with the air.
00:09:33.663 --> 00:09:36.799
Get the inside story after the break from jerusalem.
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.002
Don't move.
00:09:40.002 --> 00:09:45.009
Don't move.
00:09:45.009 --> 00:09:48.178
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight we're talking to our tbn
00:09:49.312 --> 00:09:52.082
Israel correspondent yair
00:09:52.082 --> 00:09:53.283
Pinto, co-host of boots on the ground,
00:09:53.283 --> 00:09:55.452
A great show seen right here on tbn
00:09:55.452 --> 00:09:57.087
Every thursday night at 9:30 p.m. eastern time.
00:09:57.087 --> 00:09:59.956
Yeah, yeah, you've been on the ground
00:09:59.956 --> 00:10:01.692
Not only serving the idf, but reporting from gaza as well.
00:10:01.692 --> 00:10:05.729
You've seen the literally tons of food and humanitarian aid
00:10:05.729 --> 00:10:09.332
That has been set to enter gaza
00:10:09.332 --> 00:10:11.935
And be delivered to civilians there.
00:10:11.935 --> 00:10:15.038
Tell us what's happening.
00:10:15.038 --> 00:10:17.340
So i've been hearing all these accusations
00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:19.776
Around the world that easily starving the gazan population.
00:10:19.776 --> 00:10:23.914
And i thought, okay, this sounds like a complete lie,
00:10:23.914 --> 00:10:26.516
But let's go to the gaza strip and check it out
00:10:26.516 --> 00:10:29.619
And show our viewers what's happening for real.
00:10:29.619 --> 00:10:32.489
So we entered into the gaza side of the kerem
00:10:32.489 --> 00:10:35.992
Shalom border crossing.
00:10:35.992 --> 00:10:37.728
And from that area, israel is delivering
00:10:37.728 --> 00:10:41.264
Tons of aid from israel into the gaza strip.
00:10:41.264 --> 00:10:45.902
And then it unloads this aid, make sure that there's no
00:10:45.902 --> 00:10:49.706
Weapons in it.
00:10:49.706 --> 00:10:50.941
And then the united nations is supposed to deliver this aid
00:10:50.941 --> 00:10:55.212
Into the gaza and population.
00:10:55.212 --> 00:10:57.881
But what i have seen is tons of aid
00:10:57.881 --> 00:11:01.318
Just sitting in the sun and rotting,
00:11:01.318 --> 00:11:04.654
Because the united nations went hand in hand with the hamas
00:11:04.654 --> 00:11:08.358
Propaganda to stop the gaza and population,
00:11:08.358 --> 00:11:11.828
And in a political move, refused to send the trucks
00:11:11.828 --> 00:11:14.498
To give the aid to the palestinian people.
00:11:14.498 --> 00:11:17.968
This is what i've seen on the ground.
00:11:17.968 --> 00:11:19.402
I've seen tons and tons of tuna, cans of flour,
00:11:19.402 --> 00:11:23.974
Of corn, of baby formula
00:11:23.974 --> 00:11:27.177
That was just sitting in the sun and rotting.
00:11:27.177 --> 00:11:31.114
Because the humanitarian organizations
00:11:31.114 --> 00:11:33.016
And the united nations had a political agenda
00:11:33.016 --> 00:11:37.020
To attack is an end to joint hamas, a terrorist organization.
00:11:37.020 --> 00:11:41.591
In this propaganda campaign
00:11:41.591 --> 00:11:44.461
To say that we are starving the gazan population.
00:11:44.461 --> 00:11:48.598
I don't think that any other organization i know
00:11:48.598 --> 00:11:51.201
Of, their country or military, is fighting with one hand
00:11:51.201 --> 00:11:55.138
The terrorist organization that still has hostages
00:11:55.138 --> 00:11:57.741
And with the other hand, is delivering humanitarian aid
00:11:57.741 --> 00:12:01.645
To the enemies that launched
00:12:02.245 --> 00:12:03.547
The attacks against us and also hold our hostages.
00:12:03.547 --> 00:12:07.450
This is what the idf is doing.
00:12:07.450 --> 00:12:09.486
And on top of that, to fight all these accusations, the idf
00:12:09.486 --> 00:12:13.423
Started to airdrop humanitarian aid itself using our own
00:12:13.423 --> 00:12:17.928
Air force airplane aircraft to deliver humanitarian aid
00:12:17.928 --> 00:12:22.032
Into the palestinian people in the gaza strip.
00:12:22.032 --> 00:12:25.902
This is what's happening on the ground.
00:12:25.902 --> 00:12:27.737
And despite that,
00:12:27.737 --> 00:12:28.972
The world is accusing israel of starving the gazan population.
00:12:28.972 --> 00:12:32.509
I want to see any other nation in the world that will invest
00:12:32.509 --> 00:12:35.879
Money efforts in order to feed the enemies during a war.
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:41.151
And this is what's happening. this is what the idf is doing.
00:12:41.151 --> 00:12:43.720
I did that as part of my idf service in gaza.
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.790
I've seen it,
00:12:46.790 --> 00:12:47.824
But i've also seen it again now as a reporter
00:12:47.824 --> 00:12:50.660
In the gaza strip.
00:12:50.660 --> 00:12:52.095
So there is a very rough situation in gaza.
00:12:52.095 --> 00:12:55.665
The palestinians are suffering,
00:12:55.665 --> 00:12:57.334
But that's because of a hamas terrorist organization.
00:12:57.334 --> 00:13:00.503
It's not because of the idf, not because of israel.
00:13:00.503 --> 00:13:03.740
On the contrary.
00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:05.175
Yeah.
00:13:05.175 --> 00:13:06.176
And yet here, look, we have footage of hamas
00:13:06.176 --> 00:13:07.177
Terrorists seizing the aid, seizing the food.
00:13:07.177 --> 00:13:10.146
Then they'll either keep it for themselves.
00:13:10.146 --> 00:13:12.249
If you see these hamas terrorist,
00:13:12.249 --> 00:13:13.783
They look very well fed, to say the least.
00:13:13.783 --> 00:13:16.419
Or they'll sell the food to their fellow palestinians
00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:19.656
At an exorbitant price.
00:13:19.656 --> 00:13:21.157
It's just pure evil. what's happening?
00:13:21.157 --> 00:13:23.126
And the u.n., as you said, is aiding and abetting this.
00:13:23.126 --> 00:13:25.862
And, by the way, unprecedented to feed the enemy population.
00:13:25.862 --> 00:13:30.567
I don't see, for instance, hear, russia feeding ukrainians
00:13:30.567 --> 00:13:34.738
Right now. is there a war? so, israel.
00:13:34.738 --> 00:13:37.240
It's madness.
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:38.141
The situation israel is in
00:13:38.141 --> 00:13:39.976
And the world pressure that's being put upon israel.
00:13:39.976 --> 00:13:42.612
But i think it's also biblical in a sense.
00:13:42.612 --> 00:13:44.748
We knew these days
00:13:44.748 --> 00:13:45.849
Would come in terms of the world turning against israel
00:13:45.849 --> 00:13:49.152
In many cases.
00:13:49.152 --> 00:13:50.387
Hey, to people who have not
00:13:50.387 --> 00:13:51.688
Turned against israel ambassador mike huckabee,
00:13:51.688 --> 00:13:54.291
Middle east envoy steve whitcomb,
00:13:54.291 --> 00:13:55.992
If president trump sent them to gaza last week
00:13:55.992 --> 00:13:58.561
To see the situation for themselves firsthand,
00:13:58.561 --> 00:14:01.331
And they praised the gaza humanitarian fund,
00:14:01.331 --> 00:14:04.968
Which is run by our good friend johnny moore,
00:14:04.968 --> 00:14:07.037
Which is delivering 1 million meals per day to gazans.
00:14:07.037 --> 00:14:12.008
Tell us more about
00:14:12.008 --> 00:14:13.777
The positive side of things that the average american
00:14:13.777 --> 00:14:17.047
Is not hearing about, thanks to the disinformation
00:14:17.047 --> 00:14:19.849
Delivered by the mainstream media.
00:14:19.849 --> 00:14:22.519
So very early in
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:23.853
This war, the idf realized that the united
00:14:23.853 --> 00:14:27.791
Nations humanitarian aid trucks are being looted by hamas.
00:14:27.791 --> 00:14:31.261
So they started thinking
00:14:31.261 --> 00:14:32.329
About other ways to get the food directly
00:14:32.329 --> 00:14:35.432
To the palestinian people, bypassing the hamas terrorists
00:14:35.432 --> 00:14:39.736
That sold the food to them, or just used it for themselves.
00:14:39.736 --> 00:14:43.740
And together with the united states, the g8 shift,
00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:47.410
They opened these humanitarian distribution centers
00:14:47.410 --> 00:14:50.814
All across gaza.
00:14:50.814 --> 00:14:52.482
And what's happening is that in these centers,
00:14:52.482 --> 00:14:55.318
The food and the aid is being distributed directly
00:14:55.318 --> 00:14:58.888
To a representative of each family.
00:14:58.888 --> 00:15:02.492
Each family member that is coming is getting food
00:15:02.492 --> 00:15:05.862
For at least 48 hours for up to seven members of his family.
00:15:05.862 --> 00:15:11.234
And they've been doing an amazing job
00:15:11.234 --> 00:15:13.636
At distributing the food directly
00:15:13.636 --> 00:15:15.705
To the people of the gaza strip, with more than a million
00:15:15.705 --> 00:15:18.742
Food packages per day.
00:15:18.742 --> 00:15:20.844
This is a lot.
00:15:20.844 --> 00:15:22.145
The idf is protecting them because hamas does not like that
00:15:22.145 --> 00:15:25.782
And started to launching attacks, including
00:15:25.782 --> 00:15:28.885
Throwing grenades and injuring two united states
00:15:28.885 --> 00:15:32.922
Security personnel of the gps, including also
00:15:32.922 --> 00:15:37.193
Gazan people that are working for the distribution centers.
00:15:37.193 --> 00:15:41.631
So this is clearly affecting hamas
00:15:41.631 --> 00:15:45.035
Because it's losing the grip of the population.
00:15:45.035 --> 00:15:47.871
But on the good side, they are getting the aid
00:15:47.871 --> 00:15:51.174
And they recognize that the idf are not the bad guys.
00:15:51.174 --> 00:15:55.311
But are yeah, the hamas are modern day nazis.
00:15:55.311 --> 00:16:00.050
This is a demonic death cult that must be crushed.
00:16:00.050 --> 00:16:03.219
And we pray that it happens very soon,
00:16:03.219 --> 00:16:04.687
That the hostages come home. yeah.
00:16:04.687 --> 00:16:06.623
Great breakdown, my friend.
00:16:06.623 --> 00:16:07.957
Thank you for correcting the record again.
00:16:07.957 --> 00:16:10.093
We get so much disinformation from the mainstream
00:16:10.093 --> 00:16:12.595
Media here in the west, but you're on the ground.
00:16:12.595 --> 00:16:15.432
You are our eyes
00:16:15.432 --> 00:16:16.766
And ears in gaza and in israel and then beyond.
00:16:16.766 --> 00:16:20.303
Co-host of boots on the ground. our tv in israel.
00:16:20.303 --> 00:16:22.272
Correspondent. yair pinto. yeah. you're. god bless.
00:16:22.272 --> 00:16:24.574
Keep up the great work, my friend.
00:16:24.574 --> 00:16:25.708
We'll see you again soon.
00:16:25.708 --> 00:16:26.843
And coming up after the break,
00:16:26.843 --> 00:16:28.044
We've got hamas in gaza, of course,
00:16:28.044 --> 00:16:30.046
But then we've got the pro hamas support network,
00:16:30.046 --> 00:16:34.150
Anti-semitic network, right here in america.
00:16:34.150 --> 00:16:37.720
You'll find out more about that
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:39.022
And what you can do to combat it after the break.
00:16:39.022 --> 00:16:42.092
Stick around.
00:16:42.092 --> 00:16:45.009
Stick around.
00:16:45.009 --> 00:16:48.568
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:16:49.335 --> 00:16:51.037
He's been one of the most
00:16:51.037 --> 00:16:51.971
Trusted voices in the christian
00:16:51.971 --> 00:16:53.473
Pro-israel movement for over 35 years.
00:16:53.473 --> 00:16:56.542
As president of the u.s.
00:16:56.542 --> 00:16:58.010
Branch of the international christian embassy,
00:16:58.010 --> 00:17:00.046
Jerusalem, susanne
00:17:00.046 --> 00:17:01.280
Michael has dedicated her life to fighting anti-semitism
00:17:01.280 --> 00:17:04.617
And building bridges between christians
00:17:04.617 --> 00:17:07.153
And the jewish people.
00:17:07.153 --> 00:17:08.254
Susan joins us now to help us understand
00:17:08.254 --> 00:17:10.056
What's really at stake and how the church must respond,
00:17:10.056 --> 00:17:13.893
What we see unfolding in israel right now.
00:17:13.893 --> 00:17:16.095
Susan always great to see you.
00:17:16.095 --> 00:17:17.864
Hey, we're used to, sadly, the mainstream media,
00:17:17.864 --> 00:17:21.000
Radical islamist radical left piling on israel.
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.303
But we've seen segments
00:17:24.303 --> 00:17:25.371
Now of the christian so-called christian
00:17:25.371 --> 00:17:28.574
Right, which are turning sharply against israel.
00:17:28.574 --> 00:17:31.777
Susan, what do you make of this?
00:17:31.777 --> 00:17:33.813
I would call them more conservative media
00:17:33.813 --> 00:17:36.215
Than actual christian media.
00:17:36.215 --> 00:17:37.917
However, it is infiltrating the right in the christian media,
00:17:37.917 --> 00:17:42.455
And it just shows the onslaught that has been taking place
00:17:42.455 --> 00:17:46.125
In social media.
00:17:46.125 --> 00:17:47.660
So many of our news outlets,
00:17:47.660 --> 00:17:49.428
They're getting their news from social media
00:17:49.428 --> 00:17:52.465
And taking images off the internet.
00:17:52.465 --> 00:17:54.901
And and it cannot be trusted
00:17:54.901 --> 00:17:56.669
Because we have radical activists at the other end
00:17:56.669 --> 00:18:00.573
That have no problem staging events, putting up
00:18:00.573 --> 00:18:04.510
Doctored photos, outright, lies just to make israel look bad.
00:18:04.510 --> 00:18:10.183
I don't think we've ever seen it to this level.
00:18:10.183 --> 00:18:12.051
It's always been bad, the anti-israel bias in the media.
00:18:12.051 --> 00:18:14.820
But talk about that.
00:18:14.820 --> 00:18:15.821
Just combating israel's fighting.
00:18:15.821 --> 00:18:17.790
On one hand, the jihadis like hamas,
00:18:17.790 --> 00:18:20.226
On the other hand, the public relations battle.
00:18:20.226 --> 00:18:22.929
It seems to me that for we, the pro-israel movement,
00:18:22.929 --> 00:18:25.865
Christians who support israel and the jewish people,
00:18:25.865 --> 00:18:28.134
It's time for us now more than ever to step up,
00:18:28.134 --> 00:18:31.003
Speak out and stand with israel against all the disinformation.
00:18:31.003 --> 00:18:35.208
Well, the fallacy is that if
00:18:35.808 --> 00:18:38.077
You do believe
00:18:38.077 --> 00:18:39.111
A type of theology that we would call replacement
00:18:39.111 --> 00:18:42.048
Theology, that you believe the jewish people
00:18:42.048 --> 00:18:44.784
Lost their standing with god and have been replaced by
00:18:44.784 --> 00:18:48.254
The church,
00:18:48.254 --> 00:18:49.322
Then you'll believe
00:18:49.322 --> 00:18:50.489
Almost any negative thing that comes down the pipeline
00:18:50.489 --> 00:18:53.092
About the jewish people.
00:18:53.092 --> 00:18:54.227
It makes you vulnerable to believing antisemitic lies.
00:18:54.227 --> 00:18:58.764
And that's why we do everything that we can to educate
00:18:58.764 --> 00:19:03.135
Churches, pastors, young adults
00:19:03.135 --> 00:19:05.871
About what the bible really says
00:19:05.871 --> 00:19:07.340
About israel and their everlasting covenant with god.
00:19:07.340 --> 00:19:11.143
Secondly, you've you've brought up a really good
00:19:11.143 --> 00:19:14.013
Point there that, hamas, the enemies of israel,
00:19:14.013 --> 00:19:18.317
They have learned how to defeat israel in the war of words.
00:19:18.317 --> 00:19:23.256
It's a battle for truth.
00:19:23.256 --> 00:19:25.191
Israel's been fighting
00:19:25.191 --> 00:19:26.292
A seven front war over the last year and a half.
00:19:26.292 --> 00:19:30.162
And this is what i call the eight front.
00:19:30.162 --> 00:19:32.632
It's the battle for truth that's in social media
00:19:32.632 --> 00:19:35.768
And now in mainstream media and in churches
00:19:35.768 --> 00:19:39.305
And everywhere that we find its impact.
00:19:39.305 --> 00:19:42.608
And the enemies of israel have no problem lying
00:19:42.608 --> 00:19:46.712
Or giving doctored photos or staging events.
00:19:46.712 --> 00:19:50.716
I just don't have a problem with it.
00:19:50.716 --> 00:19:52.785
And so we have got to understand that and begin to push back.
00:19:52.785 --> 00:19:56.922
And, you know, by the time
00:19:56.922 --> 00:19:58.557
A lie has circled the globe, it only takes a few seconds.
00:19:58.557 --> 00:20:02.295
And sometimes it takes us days, if not a couple of weeks,
00:20:02.295 --> 00:20:05.431
To actually do the research to rebut the lie.
00:20:05.431 --> 00:20:08.668
And by then you're just
00:20:08.668 --> 00:20:10.336
On, you've just been bombarded by another 10 or 20 allies.
00:20:10.336 --> 00:20:14.173
So it's it's building upon one upon the other.
00:20:14.173 --> 00:20:18.377
Yeah.
00:20:18.611 --> 00:20:19.378
So true. susan, as much as israel
00:20:19.378 --> 00:20:22.081
Is facing opposition in many quarters.
00:20:22.081 --> 00:20:25.184
Support for israel is growing.
00:20:25.184 --> 00:20:27.153
And much of that emanates from the current administration
00:20:27.153 --> 00:20:29.755
Here and here in america in washington, dc.
00:20:29.755 --> 00:20:32.024
Tell us about some of the things
00:20:32.024 --> 00:20:33.092
You're encouraged by and what we've seen in
00:20:33.092 --> 00:20:35.594
President trump's first seven months
00:20:35.594 --> 00:20:37.029
Back in office, in terms of the israel u.s.
00:20:37.029 --> 00:20:39.699
Relationship, seems to be back in a very good place.
00:20:39.699 --> 00:20:42.134
Well, it is back in a very good place for a very,
00:20:43.102 --> 00:20:45.404
Very grateful for president trump and for his moral clarity
00:20:45.404 --> 00:20:49.642
When it comes to israel, the palestinians, hamas,
00:20:49.642 --> 00:20:52.645
Gaza, the hostages, iran, the whole thing.
00:20:52.645 --> 00:20:56.048
So we've been so grateful for that.
00:20:56.048 --> 00:20:57.950
But i want to share one other really encouraging thing,
00:20:57.950 --> 00:21:00.653
And that is the global movement of support for israel
00:21:00.653 --> 00:21:04.423
That we are privileged to see from our vantage point
00:21:04.423 --> 00:21:07.993
At the international christian embassy
00:21:07.993 --> 00:21:10.029
Jerusalem, headquartered there in jerusalem.
00:21:10.029 --> 00:21:12.998
We have a reach in to over 183 countries.
00:21:12.998 --> 00:21:16.302
So we're able to see that there are hundreds of millions
00:21:16.302 --> 00:21:20.706
Of christians around the world that love israel,
00:21:20.706 --> 00:21:23.642
That are praying for the peace of jerusalem.
00:21:23.642 --> 00:21:26.245
And so we're working now to just better engage them
00:21:26.245 --> 00:21:29.682
And educate them so they can begin to speak up,
00:21:29.682 --> 00:21:32.752
But also to connect them better to israel.
00:21:32.752 --> 00:21:36.522
That's our role.
00:21:36.522 --> 00:21:37.590
We're there to connect the global church to israel.
00:21:37.590 --> 00:21:40.693
There are millions.
00:21:40.693 --> 00:21:41.761
There's hundreds of millions of christians
00:21:41.761 --> 00:21:44.163
That stand with israel.
00:21:44.163 --> 00:21:46.132
And we need to understand that israel is not losing the battle.
00:21:46.132 --> 00:21:50.703
It may look like it on certain days,
00:21:50.703 --> 00:21:53.639
But there's a whole army
00:21:53.639 --> 00:21:54.940
Out there loving her, supporting her, and praying for her.
00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:58.844
Amen, susan.
00:21:58.844 --> 00:21:59.712
Well said.
00:21:59.712 --> 00:22:00.713
You are at the forefront of that army folks.
00:22:00.713 --> 00:22:02.014
Check out susan and her team's great work.
00:22:02.014 --> 00:22:04.316
I see e.j.
00:22:04.316 --> 00:22:05.684
Usa talk. susan. keep up the great work.
00:22:05.684 --> 00:22:08.254
God bless you. we'll see you again soon.
00:22:08.254 --> 00:22:09.955
And coming up after the break, my final thoughts on the times.
00:22:09.955 --> 00:22:14.059
We're in upside down times in many ways,
00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:17.229
But bible times and what role you can play.
00:22:17.229 --> 00:22:20.499
That's next. stick around.
00:22:20.499 --> 00:22:25.011
That's next. stick around.
00:22:25.011 --> 00:22:27.615
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
00:22:28.516 --> 00:22:30.485
As we wrap up here, we've been talking tonight
00:22:30.485 --> 00:22:32.253
About battling
00:22:32.253 --> 00:22:33.488
The disinformation that's being put out there about israel.
00:22:33.488 --> 00:22:36.825
Well i think of the book of
00:22:36.825 --> 00:22:38.026
Ephesians, chapter six, verse 13, therefore
00:22:38.026 --> 00:22:41.229
Put on the full armor of god, so that when the day of evil
00:22:41.229 --> 00:22:44.666
Comes,
00:22:44.666 --> 00:22:45.433
You may be
00:22:45.433 --> 00:22:46.634
Able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything
00:22:46.634 --> 00:22:50.171
To stand.
00:22:50.171 --> 00:22:51.339
Folks, i share that verse because, look, we're fighting.
00:22:51.339 --> 00:22:54.142
It seems like an uphill battle at times
00:22:54.142 --> 00:22:56.044
With all the disinformation, the madness, and yes, the evil
00:22:56.044 --> 00:22:59.113
Coming against the body of christ, against israel.
00:22:59.113 --> 00:23:02.150
But keep doing what you're doing and stand
00:23:02.150 --> 00:23:04.953
Because god is on the throne and he knows which way
00:23:04.953 --> 00:23:09.224
This is going.
00:23:09.224 --> 00:23:10.325
I've read to the back of the book and guess what?
00:23:10.325 --> 00:23:12.193
Israel wins and the body of christ wins.
00:23:12.193 --> 00:23:15.096
So be encouraged.
00:23:15.096 --> 00:23:16.264
Tomorrow night, ambassador david friedman is with us,
00:23:16.264 --> 00:23:18.600
Senator tim scott. great show.
00:23:18.600 --> 00:23:20.535
Until then.
00:23:20.535 --> 00:23:21.736
God bless you and we'll see you soon.
00:23:21.736 --> 00:23:21.736
