  1. I was chatting in March with a man from Gaza on Instagram after he contacted me asking for money. I gave up talking to him when he said this: "It seems that you have forgotten that Palestine is our land and every individual is required to defend it, and this is not only a national duty, but a religious and ideological duty that every Muslim in every country must have." Why don't people believe it when educated Palestinians tell us this? This guy has perfect English, is an engineer, used to have a lovely house, has a daughter and another child on the way. I give up after he made his ideological position clear. I want the children of Gaza to have a better future, not a dead end.

  2.  @Zbychoslaw666 : Great explanation...🙏

  3. I agree. It confuses me too.

  4. You made excellent points, Yishai. I particularly liked it when you talked about the ethnic minorities living in Arab Muslim lands, the Kurds, Copts, Yazidis, and Jews, etc. You said that the Kurds and Jews are armed ethnic minorities who have pushed back the Arabs. "When the jihadists come to destroy us we have pushed them back. We are trying to survive." I see Israel as the beginning of the #rollback of Arab imperialism. You may have seen the wonderful article in Fathom Journal by Olga Kirschbaum-Shirazki entitled "Imperial Rollback in the Middle East". I highly recommend it to others.

  5. He's certainly a wonderful spokesperson for Israel...💙🇮🇱🙏

  6. Yes!!! Gaza is part of the Jewish state of Israel....🇮🇱🙏💙

  7. Great conversation, Yishai. Has Destiny even been to the Sinai Peninsula? Has he seen the level of security Egypt requires to keep people safe there TODAY? I think it would be helpful if Israel could annex at least the southern half of Sinai. The Bedouin in the south don't seem to be loyal to Egypt. They just want to prosper and live life without trouble. I can't say the same for the Egyptians that I talk to. Their hate for Israel is off the charts.

  8. The Jewish people are absolutely “more deserving” of THEIR ancestral land. They are back to stay so get used to it…🙏🇮🇱💙

  9. Why does Egypt 🇪🇬 refuse to let a secured humanitarian camp to be set up for the children, mothers of small children, pregnant women, the sick and elderly just inside Sinai? Why does the Islamic Republic of Egypt keep innocent children TRAPPED in the war zone?

  10. Islam is "dualistic". For each idea, you can find an opposing one. For example Surah 2:191 tells Muslims "...drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out." The Muslims believe that because the Holy Land was under the control of Islam until defeat of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1918, it is the obligation of every Muslim to struggle (practice jihad) against the Jews until ALL of their Islamic land is returned to Muslim control.

  11. Great show! I always enjoy your interactions with Malkah, and in this show I found both your chat with Ryan Bellerose and your interview with RT News very informative. Thank you...🙏

  12. Very well said, and congratulations on having the courage to leave Islam...🙏

  13.  @jchan9761 : Is that Israel? Are Palestinians Israeli citizens?

  14. I'm not so worried about when today's students come to power. By then most of them will have matured. They'll be less easily exploited by those who have negative agendas. When I was at university I wanted open borders everywhere and I thought communism sounded great. Today I hold the opposite views.

  15. ​ @johnwaking9552 : I agree. I usually write 'historic' Palestine, but in future will say Judea and Samaria, and Gaza.

  16. Was Sudan included in the "seven fronts" that Ohad Tal mentioned? I just read a Gatestone article about how Iran has been supplying military drones to the Sudanese Armed Forces, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. And he might give them access to Sudan's port on the Red Sea. This could be very bad for Egypt's Suez Canal, and of course for Israel and Saudi Arabia.

  17. Have you read the Charter of Hamas? Or the Quran and Hadiths? They don't want peace. The jihadists want ALL of Israel, with NO Jews [see Quran 2:191]. The indigenous Jewish people have returned home. They live peacefully with two million Arabs, mostly Muslim, who accept life in the Jewish state of Israel and who have equal rights and freedom of worship. Arab Muslim Israelis sit in the Knesset and on the Supreme Court. The belligerent Arabs should be assisted to resettle in an Arab or Muslim country. Israel is not going away... 🇮🇱🙏💙

  18. Nice comment. David Friedman's plan proposes extending Israeli sovereignty over all of the West Bank, aka Judea and Samaria, and granting "permanent residency" to the 2.7 million or so Palestinians living there. They would get equal civil rights, a high degree of autonomy, but not national voting rights. I guess that could come decades later when children have been educated in a neutral way and can pledge allegiance to the Jewish state of Israel? The "Jewish essence" of Israel should also be protected by law. David Friedman's proposal does not include Gaza. You might find this article interesting: "Could a One Jewish State Plan Secure Israel’s Future?" by Maayan Hoffman which is a summary of some proposals.

  19. What a great idea to offer Arabs from Gaza the chance to resettle in Syria!!! It’s an amazing country with lovely people. I spent five months there in 2002...🙏🇮🇱💙

  20. I'm a Zionist and I'm from New Zealand. I support the right of the Jewish country of Israel to exist. It's an "indigenous rights" miracle to see a unique and ancient cultural group be returned to control in THEIR ancestral land. My NZ grandfather fought to liberate the Holy Land from the oppressive Ottoman Caliphate in WWI, and I will always stand up for the Jewish people...🙏🇮🇱💙

  21. Great idea!!! 🙏🇮🇱💙

  22. ​ @AjazElyas : Israel has the greater claim to the disputed land. Under the Ottoman Caliphate, land was owned by Allah or the Sultan. When the Ottomans lost the war and ceded the land to the Allies, it was the British and French mandates who controlled it. The Arabs of Palestine REJECTED the UN partition plan of 1947 so they #forfeited their chance for a legal pathway to the 'disputed' land. After October 7, they've also forfeited their moral right to the land.  The Jewish people are indigenous to Judea and they supported the British in the Great War against the Germans-Ottomans. The Arabs of Palestine supported the Ottoman Turks, or stayed neutral. Wars have consequences and losers don't get to choose who gets what. Two million Arabs today are Israeli citizens with "equal rights" to Jews. These Arabs are from families who ACCEPTED life in the new Jewish state. I think they made a good choice. I suggest you watch the five minute video by PragerU called "Does Israel Occupy the West Bank?".

  23. Israel 🇮🇱 is a legitimate sovereign state. It’s here to stay so get used to it. Hate will eat you up. You also need to understand that wars have consequences. Remember the defeat of the Ottoman Turks and the Arabs of Palestine in 1918? Out of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Hejazi Arabs were granted self-determination in 99% of the carved-up Ottoman land (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan). Israel is a tiny 1% and one-fifth of its citizens are Arabs whose families accepted life in the Jewish state in 1948.
    2
  24. Muslims are told that they pray to the same god as the Jews and Christians, but Islam has a very different concept of god. Israel is an "indigenous rights" success story. When the Ottoman Caliphate was defeated in 1918 a window of opportunity opened for the Jews to return to reconstitute their ancestral homeland. One-fifth of Israeli citizens are from Arab families who accepted life in the Jewish state. All belligerent Arabs should by now, 75 years after the 1948 war, have been absorbed by those Arab nations which attacked Israel. But they still want to use the Gaza people as weapons to try and destroy Israel. Egypt should open its border.
    2
  25.  @stormz761 : A large number of them are FROM Egypt, They moved there during the 1948-1967 occupation of Gaza by Egypt, or they moved to Palestine after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in 1918 when the British and Jews created economic opportunities. They should be absorbed by the Arab countries that they came from.

  26. I appreciate your comment, but what do you think about police being given a choice to not defend specific places, such as synagogues, when they go against one’s own personal values?

  27. It’s Mohammed Tawhidi. Everyone knows him as the Australian Imam of Peace.

  28. I just listened to Moriel's interview with Caroline Glick. He'd be a great person for Yishai to have on his channel.

  29.  @kiljoy3254 : Exactly🙏. It must be raised with all critics. Cenk Uygur and Mehdi Hassan do come from a Muslim background, with Mehdi being a believer, so their comments on this are always interesting. But Finkelstein and Mearsheimer never seem to factor in the importance of the Islamic ideological dimension, so I'm not sure you'd get much sense out of them?
    2
  30. You mean NO Jewish state of Israel? It's totally fine for Arabs and other minorities to reside in Israel but they must pledge allegiance to the Jewish values of Israel. Otherwise they should be assisted to resettle elsewhere.
    2
  31. I'd be happy when Islam does collapse. I have Muslim friends and I want them to be living thriving happy lives which is impossible in an Islamic Sharia-ruled almost-failed country.

  32. I don't like what you say, but I have to admit that you know what you are talking about. The hate that Egyptians have for Israel is massive and it seems that it could explode at any time. I love the Egyptian people and I wish this feeling could be channelled in a different way to make Egypt more prosperous... 🙏
    2
  33.  @Artandmeditation-no7uj : I totally agree! I'm actually an Australian, and I get lots of nice reactions from Egyptians so long as I don't mention that I support Israel. I'm currently in Morocco and I find Egyptians far more 'my vibe' than most people here, although the Amazighs and Tauregs seem more like Egyptians. I spend months at a time in Egypt because you currently allow people over 60 years to stay for up to one year without a visa. I'm very grateful for that...🙏

  34. Well said. It's not helpful to repeat the idea that Islam is primarily peaceful. Islam's main theme is holy war (jihad) against unbelievers.
    2
  35. That's absolute nonsense. There are genetic testing clinics in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Like France and many other countries which are concerned about medical privacy, you need to get court permission to have tests done. DNA is also not a criteria for being a member of an #indigenous peoples. A Jew is a Jew if his people accept him as such.

  36. Exactly! And this is bit that is despicable... "America and Egypt intentionally locked up them in Gaza to impede Israel's victory. Then they hypocritically charge Israel with deliberate killing civilians." And you are right in that educated Arabs are often the most zealous jihadis. That's my experience with Egyptians, anyway.

  37. The Arabs of Palestine were defeated in WWI, remember? The Ottoman Caliphate lost the land when they ceded it to the winners, the British and French and their allies, the Jews and the Hejazi Arabs. Wars have consequences, especially when your side started the war. In 1922 the League of Nations granted the #indigenous Jewish people the right to reconstitute their ancestral homeland. Israel is an "indigenous rights" success story. It's also the beginning of the rollback of the 7th century Arab Islamic imperialism. The Kurds should also have their ancestral homeland, so should the Berbers-Amazigh of Morocco, Algeria and Libya, and so on...

  38. ​ @sf6657 : I'm not sure what you are implying. And maybe you haven't noticed that humanity has evolved in the past "two thousand years"? Different collective agreements like the Geneva Conventions now prevail.

  39. Hinduism is not a religion. It's more of a philosophy. Does Hinduism teach no lying, no stealing, no murder, etc. like the Bible teaches to Jews and Christians? If it does teach these things, why are Hindus still so corrupt? I spend around half of the year in India and the rest of the year in predominantly Muslim countries, and I was raised in countries which were founded on Judeo-Christian values, so its a topic of study for me.

  40. When a tribe of people live in the colder northern hemisphere for centuries, with less sun exposure, their body adapts to get the most out of their environment. I'm of English-Scandanavian heritage so fair with blue eyes but I've met people in Syria and Alexandria who have far whiter skin than me, so you really can't base things on skin colour.

  41.  @rogeliogarcia1471 : If this "promise" was based on the 1947 UN Partition Plan, that was rejected by the Arabs and accepted by the Jewish people. And rights generally come with conditions such as the 'Palestinians' agreeing to recognise the Jewish state of Israel, and agreeing to co-exist peacefully alongside Israel. So far, there's no evidence for this happening. Their leaders say they want no Jewish state in the region at all. On July 24, 1922, the League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations, officially recognised the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine,” and AGREED to the “establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.” It seems clear that the #indigenous Jews have the greater claim to all of the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
    1
  42. Nonsense. The best that the Arabs of the disputed territories can hope for now is to be offered "permanent residence" with equal civil rights in #OneJewishState as proposed by former Ambassador David Friedman. Israel must extend sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, and eventually over Gaza too. Check out the proposal...💙🇮🇱🙏

  43. @sunnysoto : Israel was founded after the Allies DEFEATED the Ottoman Turks and Arabs of Palestine in 1918. Like Yishai says, when your side starts an aggressive war and then LOSES that war, you don’t get to choose who takes control. The Zionist Jews fought with the British. They were acknowledged in 1922 by the League of Nations as #indigenous to the land. Wherever Jews are in the world, even if taken as slaves to Europe centuries ago or persecuted and fled to other countries to survive, they are still indigenous to THEIR land. Other peoples are fine to live there in peace so long as they accept they are living in, or next to, the Jewish state of Israel. Just like Egypt is the Islamic Republic of Egypt. Wars have consequences! The Arabs of the Hejaz also fought with the British and they were given control in 99% of the carved-up Ottoman Empire land, today’s Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Israel is less than 1% and one-fifth of Israeli citizens are Arabs and other minorities whose families accepted life in the Jewish state in 1948. They made a good choice…🙏🇮🇱💙

  44. It could take a couple of generations to remove the hate for Israel and Jews, but the first major step has been taken by Israel. UNRWA is not going to continue indoctrinating the children at school. Education is key. Israel should offer the Arabs equal civil rights, some autonomy, and a travel document so they have freedom to explore the world. And Israel must extend sovereignty over Judea and Samaria so the Arab world is clear on what Israel’s borders are.

  46. I believe that East Jerusalem Arab ‘Palestinians’ do have a pathway to Israeli citizenship. But it comes with conditions (like the citizenship of all democratic countries) that these Arabs are not willing to accept. Devout Muslims believe that to become a citizen of the Jewish state of Israel is to commit treason. The Arabs can’t have it both ways.
    1
  47. Nonsense. The Ottoman Empire aligned with the Germans in WWI, and they were DEFEATED in 1918 by the Allied Powers. When the Ottoman Middle East land was carved up, 99% of it went to self-rule by the Hejazi Arabs who fought with the British, countries today which are Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Jordan. Less than 1% of the Ottoman land was granted to the Jewish people who also fought with the British. The #indigenous Jews were given the chance to reconstitute their ancestral homeland, so long as the civil and religious rights of the occupants were not compromised. Today over two million Arabs have equal rights under the law and freedom of worship. Israel is here to stay... 🇮🇱🙏💙

  48. Very well said. I got a shock on my way to Cairo airport in February to see the streets well-secured for Erdogan's first visit to Egypt in twelve years. Alliances are definitely shifting.

  49. Two million Arabs are equal citizens of Israel today. Most of them are Muslim. There are also Druze, Circassions, Arab Christians, etc. living as minorities with equal rights and freedom of worship.

  50. @mysteriousman8769: Antisemitism is racism against a group of people, in this case the Jewish people. How is it “fine” to be a racist?
