1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,360
Elan, Welcome to Israel. You've
been here before. Yes, this is

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,160
a visit unlike anyone, because you
started it out in the communities, right

3
00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:16,280
next to a gaza where the horrendous
massacre took place. We went there together

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,280
and then I showed you a short
film some of the cars, and I

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,000
wonder if you can give you some
of your impressions of what you saw.

6
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:27,920
It was jarring to see the scene
of the masker or one of the scenes

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,159
of the maskers, as well as
to see the short film afterwards that's a

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,479
short more of is that people getting
killed. I was troubling in that bybe

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,159
especially to see the joy experienced by
people that were killing innocent civilians, including

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,799
kids and babies and fenceless people essentially. So you know, it's one thing

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,840
if ously if civilians die, but
if it's another thing to revel in the

12
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:58,600
joy of killing civilians, that's not
that's evil. It's really a manifestation of

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,719
a difficult That's what come up is
it's a deaficult and the glorifying gore.

14
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:07,280
I mean, some of the things
that we saw are children being murdered in

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,400
front of their parents, being murdered
in front of their children, mothers who

16
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:18,959
hid their little boys in a laundromat
and an oven, or in a hidden

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,640
attic, and these monsters found the
attic. And you can imagine what these

18
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,400
people felt, these little boys felt
like in a grim fairy tale. The

19
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,640
monster is coming at you. And
they killed them and burned them. They

20
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:34,000
beheaded women, they beheaded men.
They tied a woman next to a tree

21
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,439
and rapia repeatedly and then murdered her. They had people in a nature festival,

22
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,280
music festival. Yeah, killed hundreds. You saw the pictures that it's

23
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,719
just horrible. We just killed people
women. Yes, I mean the rebuttal

24
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:53,799
is often made that well, you
know, you know Israel has killed civilians,

25
00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:57,280
you know, also in gossip.
But there's an important difference here,

26
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:01,799
which is that Israel tried to avoid
killing civilians during everything it cans to to

27
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,640
avoid killing civilians, and you know
there's not sort of joy expressed. Well,

28
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,280
it's regret. First of all,
every civilian casualty is is a tragedy,

29
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,280
and we try to minimize them.
But what is happening here is that

30
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,520
Kamas is essentially committing a double war
crime. The first war crime is to

31
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,280
deliberately target civilians and not only target
them, but mutilate them, break them,

32
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:28,080
behead them, burn them. The
second war crime is to deliberately hide

33
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:31,080
behind civilians, which is what they're
doing in Gazma. So they're not an

34
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:37,479
army in bases or out in field
maneuvers. They're implanting themselves in residential areas,

35
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,080
in schools and hospital The hospitals are
their command centers. We found tunnels

36
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,360
there with the military equipment, with
guns and camo. So what do you

37
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,400
do against an enemy of this kind, Well, the one thing you cannot

38
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:55,199
do is give immunity to the terrorists
because they're hiding among civilians. Because if

39
00:02:55,199 --> 00:03:00,919
you give them immunity, everybody says
they shouldn't be doing this effectively. Nobody

40
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,560
is willing to take the action to
make sure that this is not an effective

41
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,000
tactic, because if it is,
it'll repeat itself again and again. By

42
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,520
the way, Hamas says, we're
going to do it again and again.

43
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:14,599
But it's not only against Israel that
they'll do it. This will spread very

44
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,280
quickly throughout the Middle East and peril
the entire region. From there, they'll

45
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,159
go to Europe, and from there
they'll also build elsewhere to America, whom

46
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:27,120
they call the great Sitty. We're
just a little America. So America is

47
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:32,840
a great sat and this is any
It's iranisbaalah Kamas. It's all part of

48
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:38,759
that same access goes against Israel,
the United States, free civilization, and

49
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,639
the modern Arab States. We're all
on one side. There on the other

50
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:45,439
side. So how do you fight
it. Well, let's see, you

51
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:47,840
know, the people who are protesting
that what Israel is doing to not take

52
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:53,400
into account the fact that Israel asked, we called on the Palestinian population to

53
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,120
leave the Zona fighting. Okay,
they wanted to leave. Guess who stopped

54
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,919
them at gunpoint Comas. Okay,
we broke that and created a cord,

55
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,439
a safe corridor that they could leave
to the southern part of the Gaza strip

56
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:12,120
where no fighting was taking place.
And gets who fired on the safe cordon?

57
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,600
That we a safe corridor, Comas. So it's not Israel that's preventing

58
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,160
the civilians from leaving the war zone. It's Commas. It's not Israel that

59
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:26,319
is shooting that civilians who want to
escape, it's Commas. But we shouldn't

60
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:30,079
give them the ability to, you
know, to escape responsibility, which is

61
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,199
what all these demonstrations are happening.
You know the example I'll give Hitler does

62
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,839
this horble, you know, these
horrible crimes. He perpetrates the Holocaust.

63
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:44,040
The Allies strike it back, they
invade Normandy, the Germans hold themselves up

64
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:48,240
in the German cities. Nobody said, well, don't attack the Wehrmacht,

65
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,199
the German army, the Nazi army, because you have the civilians there.

66
00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:57,519
In fact, that's exactly what the
Allies did through the cities of France and

67
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,279
the cities of Germany, and many
civilians were killed. I don't know what

68
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,800
history would be like if you had
you know, the kind of mass communications

69
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,639
that we have today in protests would
have been launched against the Allies on behalf

70
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:14,600
of the Nazis, because, as
the German Chancellor will visited Israel and solve

71
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,639
these horrors. He said, Kamas
are the new Nazis, Commas are the

72
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,680
new Nazis. And people are demonstrating
either out of ignorance, A lot of

73
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,959
the protesting or the wrong side I
mean it is. It was troubling to

74
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:33,160
see massive protests in almost every major
city in favor of almost well, they're

75
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,199
generally characterized it as sort of a
free Palestine movement, and I think you

76
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,480
know, one generally agree that we
want to, you know, a good

77
00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:46,839
future for Palestinians, and we want
to you know, I mean, the

78
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,040
challenge is really how do you get
rid of the ones who are help adds

79
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:56,920
on murdering Jewish people while you know, minimizing explaining casualties, and then awkwardly

80
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,600
stopping the sort of propaganda that is
convincing people to engage in murder, so

81
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:08,959
that at the end of the day
that's really essential is to figure out,

82
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:14,319
Okay, what how are they being
trained to have these to believe that murdering

83
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:16,800
and having joy at the death of
civilians is a good thing, and to

84
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,000
stop that training, Well, I
think you hit the nail on the head

85
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,600
because you have we have a first
omission to destroy Kamas. Nothing's going to

86
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:29,800
stop because if you want peace,
destroy Kamas, If you want security,

87
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:33,519
destroy Lamas, If you want a
better life for Palestinians in Ghazl will been

88
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,920
hijacked by Ramas, destroy Kamas.
All that is a precursor to the question

89
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,040
that you asked. First, have
to get rid of the poisonous regime as

90
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,639
you did in Germany as you did
in Japan in World War Two. These

91
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:51,319
were two There's no choice, there's
no choice. So there's a prerequis yes,

92
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,519
But then look at what happened.
What you had in Germany was de

93
00:06:55,639 --> 00:07:00,839
nasification, and what you had in
Japan und your Douglas MacArthur was a cultural

94
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:06,360
reformation. And Japan that you visit
today is so different from Japan of the

95
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:11,720
nineteen thirties. Germany that you visit
today is so different from Germany of the

96
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,079
nineteen thirties. Well, is that
possible in the Arab world? And I

97
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,839
categorically say, of course, because
we've seen it already in two places.

98
00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:23,360
We've seen it in the Gulf States, and we see that when you visit

99
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:27,279
Dubai, or when you visit Abu
Dhabi, or when you visit Bahrain,

100
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,160
you see something entirely different. There
was in fact a cultural change there.

101
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:35,160
And let me say that same thing
is in my opinion, happening to a

102
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:42,800
considerable extent in Saudi Arabia. The
de radicalization of these Muslim countries, these

103
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:46,120
Arab countries, some of it already
took place, some of it is taken

104
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,879
Yeah, but there's another country where
a substantial Arab minority where that is already

105
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,839
taking place, and that's called Israel. Twenty percent of our citizens are Arabs,

106
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:01,279
most of them Muslim. They serve
on you know, in high places,

107
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:03,759
in the Academy and the Supreme Court, in the Knesse and and so

108
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,959
on. And I'm not saying that
there aren't there isn't some radicalism there,

109
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,319
but mostly there isn't. In fact, they're integrated into the society. So

110
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:16,199
we have to do the same thing. We have to militarize Gaza after the

111
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,519
destruction of Kamas, and we have
to do radicalize Gaza, and that will

112
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,560
take some time, especially work on
the mosques and on the schools that's where

113
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:28,439
children are, you know, imbide
their values. And then we have to

114
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:33,039
also rebuild Gaza. And I hope
to have our Arab friends help in that

115
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,440
context, and you know, I'd
like to help as well. So I

116
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,720
think it's important to pair of firmness
in taking out the terrorists, those who

117
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:46,039
wish or intent on murder, and
then at the same time to then help

118
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,879
those who remain, which is also
what happened in Germany and Japanese. Actually,

119
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,120
you know, it's interesting because this
is quite a rare thing in history.

120
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:58,080
Usually the victor pillages the you know, the loser. And if you

121
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,679
look after World War One, you
know, the Treaty us I was a

122
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,600
big mistake and it created emense betterness
in Germany and it's part of what led

123
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:09,639
to World War two and then World
War two that people realized, listen,

124
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:15,519
we actually need to rebuild the economies
and instead of punish it. And so

125
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,200
you know, you had the rebuilding
of Japan, rebuilding of Germany as much

126
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,720
bureau and then we've we've had peace
and prosperity for a long time. I

127
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:30,720
think that this is possible, but
it has that small prerequisite. I'm saying

128
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,440
small, I don't really mean small, big job getting rid of Tamas,

129
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:39,320
which we will remember that what is
is will suffered on this toominious day of

130
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:45,360
October seventh was proportionately like twenty nine
eleven. So you know, when people

131
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,960
make us cease far sure Ramas as
well. You know, if we're still

132
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,960
around, we're going to do it
again. And again that's a direct quote.

133
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,600
Yes, okay, so would you
make it? You don't need to

134
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,120
read between the lights, if you
just read the lights. They're quite explicit

135
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:01,759
about it. Yes, So obviously
we can't do that anymore than America would

136
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:05,080
make a ceasfire without CATA after nine
eleven. Yeah, and this is twenty

137
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:09,480
nine. So they have to go
and they will go. I'm talking about

138
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,799
combatants, I'm talking about terrorists,
talking about terrorists, chieftains. But then

139
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,000
I think we can build a different
future with the Palestinians. And the thing

140
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:24,840
that I have to also really respond
to is these demonstrations against c Israel,

141
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:31,559
which is the only force that is
taking measures to prevent civilian casualties. We're

142
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,960
trying to do everything that we can, including entering into Gaza humanitarian help.

143
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:43,039
But we have mass demonstrations. Where
were these demonstrations when over a million Arabs

144
00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:46,679
and Muslims were killed in Syria,
in Yemen, many of them starving to

145
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:52,639
death, those who didn't die in
explosions in battle, Where were the demonstrations

146
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:56,759
in London, in Paris, in
San Francisco, in Washington? Where are

147
00:10:56,759 --> 00:11:01,639
they? And the answer is they
don't care about the Palestine. They hate

148
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:05,440
Israel, and they hate Israel because
they hate America. And they say,

149
00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:07,879
they say, from the river,
free Palestine, from the river to the

150
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:11,679
sea. Right, you know what
the river to the sea means yes,

151
00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:16,399
the river river, it's called the
Jordan River. The sea is the Mediterranean

152
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,600
in between US Israel, right all
of fifty miles wide. When they say

153
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,799
free Palestine from the river to the
sea, they say destroy Israel. Yeah,

154
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:30,480
so they're demonstrating for the destruction of
Israel on behalf of people who committed

155
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,080
the worst savagery perpetrated on the Jewish
people since the Holocaust. That is a

156
00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:41,279
moral collapse. And it's understandable that
people will have concern for civilian casualties because

157
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:48,279
we do as well. That I
understand. It's inconceivable and incomprehensible that people

158
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,159
will actually both this on behalf of
these murderers, these deliberate killers of babies

159
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,679
and not you know, they're not
accidentally killing these people. We went into

160
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:03,200
these cottages today, we saw where
these killers came in and shot cribs,

161
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,360
Yes, shot families, murdered,
bullet casings in the cryb bullet cases at

162
00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:13,759
the crib. Exactly. It's just
shocked. And so one has to understand

163
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:20,240
in every legitimate war, there what
you said before, the accidental civilian casualties

164
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,240
that accompany any legitimate military action.
That's often happened, happened to the island

165
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,039
avoidable, It's unavoidable. Unfortunately,
you try to minimize them. But what

166
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:33,360
these terrorists camas Terras did is deliberately
crossed the line. They were out there

167
00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:37,960
to massacre, murdered civilians on mass
And let me tell you Schultz, the

168
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,679
Chancellor of Germany called him when he
visited Israel, he called him the new

169
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:48,200
Nazis called Tamas and new Nazis.
Tell you what the difference between the original

170
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,559
Nazis and the new Naziss If they
had the capabi, if they weren't thrown

171
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:58,360
back by grave soldiers flooded the lines
and brave civilians who fought with their finger,

172
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,600
Nay, they would have killed every
life. Yeah, So you know

173
00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:07,480
what do you do to correct these
lies and these distortions. Well, one

174
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,679
the truth, have the conversation we're
having today. But I think there's also

175
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:20,279
there's a weakness in Western higher education. Not new. In nineteen thirty three,

176
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,559
shortly a few days after the rise
of inter the Oxford student Union had

177
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,919
a debate, and the debate was
should that generation fight for king and country?

178
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,600
And they resolved two to one,
under no circumstances to fight for king

179
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:39,120
and country. Well, they soon
learned differently, they couldn't if they tolerated

180
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,840
this kind of aggression that Germany was
perpetrating, the Barbars. It soon spread

181
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:46,519
to Britain, it soon spread to
the entire world. If we tolerate this

182
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:52,960
kind of barbarism that Hamas perpetrated on
Israel, by the way, on Jews

183
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,279
and Arabs alike. In Israel,
Arab citizens Bedwinds. They spoke to me,

184
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:03,120
these Bedouin fighters in the Israeli Defense
Force. One of them said,

185
00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:05,360
you know, I woke up on
that day, rushed to the line,

186
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:09,720
and the first thing I saw,
he said, the first thing I saw

187
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:13,279
was a corpse of a woman,
a headless corpse of a woman. And

188
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,080
he said to me, then I
knew exactly what we were fighting. We

189
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,840
is Arabs and Jews in fighting these
monsters. So I think that once we

190
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:28,919
recognize that we have to unite all
the forces of civilization against this new Barbers

191
00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:35,200
and this savage medievalism that try to
stop a better future for all of us,

192
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,679
we can achieve this future. I
think if we beat Ramas, we

193
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,399
can go back to peace in Saudi
Arabia. I think we can expand the

194
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,919
circle of peace beyond anything imagine.
We can build that, rebuild and build

195
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,360
development projects that will defy the imagination
of the world. But first we have

196
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:56,840
to win. It's like against the
Nazis, it's like against al Qaeda,

197
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:01,919
it' slight against Isis. First you
have to win. Yeah, I think

198
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:05,480
that makes perfect sense. Those who
are intended murder must be neutralized. Then

199
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:11,440
the propagandas stop. That is training
people to be murtterers in the future,

200
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,799
and they're making gods of prosperous and
if that happens, I think will be

201
00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:18,759
good future. Well, I hope
you'll be involved in help. And the

202
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:24,679
fact that you came here I think
speak volumes, speaks volumes of your commitment

203
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,960
to try to secure a better future. You know, I wish we had

204
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:31,240
more time the last time we spoke
about AI. Yeah, And I think

205
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:35,679
even here, on this short visit, you add a glimpse of the great

206
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,320
talents. Yeah available, here's metaund
measure, but it's talent that served the

207
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,919
world. It's in all these things. You look at your iPhone, you

208
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,639
know a good part of it was
made here. It will use ways made

209
00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:50,399
here. Sure we get a cherry
tomato it's made here. That's the positive

210
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,279
part of the future that we have
begun to build. And we'll resume building

211
00:15:54,440 --> 00:16:00,799
after this, after we defeat Kamas. Because and then the last thing I've

212
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:06,960
never seen the elon so united.
We have an opportunity to quire among ourselves.

213
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,480
Our politics are famous for it,
and yet here everyone united, Everyone

214
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:17,879
united formed the Unity Government and emergency
Unity Government and the people and the it's

215
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:22,559
not really the soldiers as families,
even families of soldiers are on the front

216
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,440
line and they say, finish the
job so we can have a better Yeah.

217
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:30,840
Well, I hope for a better
future for Hearin, for the world.

218
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,679
Thank you and thank you for coming
here. Yeah, thank you. Van
