<v Speaker 1>Commando Officer. Welcome to the fifty five KRSS Morning Show,

11
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Captain Cohen. It's a pleasure to have you on today, sir.

12
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for having It's a great privilege to participate

13
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 2>your program.

14
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Well before we get into October seventh and the aftermath,

15
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to quickly ask you, and I know Benjamin n.

16
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Yahoo has not gone on records saying Israel is responsible

17
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>for the cell phone blowing the his balla cell phones

18
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 1>blowing up, and yesterday the walkie talkie's blowing up. I

19
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>just am in awe of how that was able to

20
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 1>be pulled off. What is your reaction to the ability

21
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 1>to get those devices into the hands of the members

22
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>of the terrorist organization and set them off by remote control.

23
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>That has really had to have blown his ball of minds,

24
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>not literally, or maybe it is literally in some cases,

25
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 1>but they have to be reeling from the effectiveness of

26
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>that attack.

27
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's amazing. As you just mentioned, Israel

28
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>or the government or the idea did into the responsibility.

29
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 2>But I think that we can learn from the action

30
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>that we work very accurate in order to make sure

31
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>that there is no any collateral damage. And the only

32
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 2>people who got HERI in this action was the terrorists themselves.

33
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>That they were holding pagers and Milwaukee tokis they only

34
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 2>used for terrorisms.

35
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, and that you got them in the hands of

36
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 1>the terrorists alone is pretty amazing. Now, I saw that

37
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the Israeli cabinet has given Prime Minister net and Yahoo

38
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 1>and Defense Minister go out the authorization take military action

39
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>against Osbawa. Is this the the limiting nature of the attack?

40
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>In other words, you've taken away of his balla's ability

41
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to communicate, or you haven't. Their ability to communicate has

42
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 1>been severely disrupted. Is that does not that represent a

43
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 1>great time to move in because they're going to be

44
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 1>in a state of disarray for a while because the

45
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>only way they apparently could be able to communicate is

46
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>by mail.

47
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not connected to all the information at the end.

48
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm an captain an officer in the Ideas. But as

49
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 2>you just mentioned, I truly think that we did harm

50
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 2>their communication and it's probably a good time for us

51
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to react sometimes, you know, we don't have all the information.

52
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Probably the Prime Minister and the Idea have everything, and

53
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming that we are playing serious things ahead. I

54
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 2>also can tell you that the Ideas mentioned that he's

55
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 2>moving the center of the fight into up north instead

56
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>of the Gaza Strip.

57
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, pivoting back over to the Gaza Strip, which

58
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>is the subject of your book, October seventh War against

59
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>some Aster. The is of an Israeli commando officer prior

60
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 1>to that terrible day October seventh, What is it like

61
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to be an Israeli citizen on the Israeli side of

62
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>the fence and Gaza being right there, obviously literally next

63
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>door with it's an area that is run by a

64
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>terrorist organization that has held bent on eradicating the Israeli people.

65
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 1>What is the stress level like? How do the people

66
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 1>feel prior to October seventh, day to day living with

67
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that threat right there, considering the rockets being launched and everything,

68
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I just can't imagine.

69
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's good that you manage how that

70
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned the fact that we are a citizen. Also

71
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 2>me right now while I'm talking to you, I'm a

72
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 2>reserve captain. I'm not an octaviuty. And on October seven,

73
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I figured that I had to go into the army

74
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to the ideas to defend my country. But that day,

75
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>on the morning, I was with my father in law,

76
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>with my parents in law. We were celebrating holiday. And

77
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 2>then it's a shocking knowledge. It will be shocking knowledge

78
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>for you. My wife woke me up. It was five

79
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 2>point thirty in the morning. She had a nightmare and

80
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>she told me she were terrified and told me that

81
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 2>in her nightmare, one hundreds of teubles were chasing us

82
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 2>and I couldn't use my gun in order to defend

83
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.360
<v Speaker 2>herselfs I hugged her back and I told her she

84
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.399
<v Speaker 2>don't worry, everything will be fine. And then one hour

85
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 2>later I was awaken up by the iron daum system

86
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>that were activated from the missile that we're shooting from

87
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 2>God that told to Israel. You asked me, how is

88
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 2>it to live here in Israel? So I think Israeli,

89
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 2>everyone who know Israeli, they know that we have great

90
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>spirits and we I've been through some dark times. And unfortunately,

91
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>while we're talking, we still have one hundred and one

92
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 2>hostages in captivity. One hundred and one. It's it's an

93
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>insane number. They're incuptivity already for three hundred and forty

94
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>eight days. It's it's unbelievable. But I think we are

95
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>with a great spirit. We have our time here right now,

96
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 2>but we know that we will we will manage that

97
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 2>and we will be able to defeat uh, this evil

98
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 2>and this terror group. By the way, it's not just

99
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>from us, it's I went through Gaza and soon I'm

100
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>going to share some of my experience there. But I

101
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>just want to tell you the majority of the people

102
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.639
<v Speaker 2>who live at Gaza, at least the places that I've

103
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 2>been to the northern part of the Gaza Strip, support

104
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 2>the elimination of Israel, the elimination of the West in total.

105
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, that certainly is the is the big sure in

106
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 1>the image that I get, and I suppose that the

107
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 1>October seventh terror operation, the murder of innocent women, children,

108
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 1>young people, people who are not uniformed military combatants. That

109
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 1>reminded me a lot of nine to eleven. And we

110
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>use nine to eleven as a justification for launching wars

111
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>in the Middle East. And I hear a bunch of

112
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>people who are anti Israel, at least lean that way,

113
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>complain about collateral damage. Were you going into Gaza to

114
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>defend yourself against the horrors of the war that was

115
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 1>launched on your country. I don't understand that, sir. So

116
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 1>to those people who complain only about innocent women and

117
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>children in collateral damage, would you explain to them the

118
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 1>efforts that Israel goes through before they enter into it

119
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 1>and start launching bombs and going into combat in areas

120
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>like Gaza.

121
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let me answer your question. First of all, let's

122
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>put it in numbers. On October seven, two hundred and

123
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>fifty three people were kidnapped. In one thousand, two hundred

124
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 2>people were slaughtered. If we compare that to the US,

125
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 2>it's in the seven thousand, five hundred people were slaughtered. Sorry,

126
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>we're kidnapped, and thirty six people were slaughtered that day.

127
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>It's it's number that everyone just cannot think about it.

128
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.560
<v Speaker 2>It's outrageous. So first of all, when people say, you know,

129
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.279
<v Speaker 2>like a proportional response, what will be your proportional response

130
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 2>for this amount of people who getting kidnapped and slaughtered?

131
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.759
<v Speaker 2>But I'm putting that aside. One second, I want to

132
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 2>share one of my experiences during that time in Gaza.

133
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 2>One of we got an intel of a school that

134
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 2>were full with infrastructures for terror and we knew that

135
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 2>we have to conquer that place. But we also knew

136
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>that that school was school with civilians. So as we

137
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 2>always do, I'm telling you, as we always do, we

138
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>stuck calling them all out, but no one left the area.

139
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>So we use the drone in orders to skin the

140
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.120
<v Speaker 2>to scan the school from above from the air, and

141
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 2>then on we saw that there is Hamas guard inside

142
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 2>that school. They didn't let those citizens to leave the school.

143
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>More than that, one of the kids, I think was

144
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 2>five years old try to run away and the Hamas

145
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>guard shoot him in his head and kill them in

146
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.560
<v Speaker 2>front of his mom. Oh my god, that time I realized,

147
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 2>we realized that we have to kill those guards. So

148
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.879
<v Speaker 2>after a couple of moments, later, one of the Hamas

149
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.199
<v Speaker 2>guard went on the rooftop. He went holding was holding

150
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.799
<v Speaker 2>a baby. Just in front of us. He was holding

151
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.919
<v Speaker 2>a baby. He knew exactly where we were. We wore

152
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 2>a couple of one hundred meters away. He knew where

153
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 2>we were, where we are staying. And behind them was

154
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>a guy with a camera. They just waited for us

155
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 2>to take that shot. And we didn't took the shot

156
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.399
<v Speaker 2>because unlike those savages, I have no other wall to

157
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.120
<v Speaker 2>describe that. We don't use innocent people, and we don't

158
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 2>we don't slaughter baby as they just did on October seventh,

159
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>and keep doing, by the way, because a few weeks

160
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 2>ago we just got a great reminder murdering executing these

161
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 2>six lovely hostages that were about to get rescued. So

162
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>it was holding that baby what And we didn't took

163
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 2>that shot, even though it's meant for us that we're

164
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.440
<v Speaker 2>putting our life on the line, because as I just

165
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 2>told you, they knew exactly where we were. They could

166
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 2>have aimed any RPG missile at forty seven that they

167
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 2>had towards us. Yet we put our life on the

168
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 2>danger and we didn't took that shot. Later on the

169
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>same Hamas gard went on the roofstop again. It was

170
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 2>surrounded by a group of women, one of them banned

171
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.200
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. It was enough for our sniper to

172
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 2>take that shot and to eliminate that threat. And I'm

173
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 2>sharing this experience because I want people to understand what's

174
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:55.440
<v Speaker 2>actually going on through this war. We're doing endless efforts

175
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 2>in order to avoid any casualties. And then you just

176
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.240
<v Speaker 2>mentioned there's people who protest against.

177
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I find that hard to believe. But I

178
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>understand the disdain so many people have for Israel. I mean,

179
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 1>I know that it exists. I don't understand where that

180
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 1>hatred and disdain comes from, but there it is. And

181
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned the Gaza citizenry generally speaking, they're all anti Israel.

182
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>They want to eradicate Israel generally speaking, which of course

183
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>is the goal of Hamas, who runs Gaza. What is

184
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 1>your belief what would you consider success, Captain Cohen. I mean,

185
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:32.960
<v Speaker 1>if you went in and you were able to eliminate

186
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:39.519
<v Speaker 1>every single member of Hamas and or Habala, the citizenry,

187
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe people who are not members haven't yet taken up arms,

188
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>still have that same philosophy, so you'll still be living

189
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>next to people who want to eliminate you. Don't you

190
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 1>see that as a possible They could just like phoenix

191
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>from the ashes, arise again in a different form or

192
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>reform under the name Hamas or Hezbala. How can you

193
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:00.399
<v Speaker 1>win the war?

194
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 2>I think first of all, we need to understand that

195
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>we need our brother and sister back here alive as

196
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.720
<v Speaker 2>soon as possible, and this is what we're fighting for.

197
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 2>We're fighting for our sake, but also for the Palestinian's sake.

198
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 2>As I just mentioned, Hamasta doesn't care about his own people.

199
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.879
<v Speaker 2>He uses human hills. You're right, you just mentioned that

200
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.080
<v Speaker 2>they can rise from the ashes and through a different organizations.

201
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 2>So after were making sure that everyone who support our

202
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:34.759
<v Speaker 2>desks is not able to do anything like that again.

203
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:38.039
<v Speaker 2>In the future, our main goal will be to re

204
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 2>educating them and to show them what life's supposed to dealiz.

205
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you look at Israel, if you I

206
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.799
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you've ever been to Israel, but Israel

207
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 2>it's a lovely place. We have huge Haita company over here,

208
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the nicest resort, amazing innovation, and just seventy years ago

209
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 2>we went through a holocaust with six million Jews were killed,

210
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>so we had every reason to be miserable to tell

211
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the world story and we can't do anything. And yet

212
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 2>we managed to build an amazing state. And yet you

213
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 2>can hear the Palestinians as they pronounce themselves. Even if

214
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:31.840
<v Speaker 2>there is something like that, they always looked for the

215
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.279
<v Speaker 2>past they have. I'm telling you, I've been through Gaza.

216
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 2>They had the nicest bitches o reserve, but unfortunately they

217
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>take every money that they had in order to invest

218
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>and build terror tunnel, terror infrastructure, and we need to

219
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 2>make sure to show them that we can do different.

220
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 2>I want to have a boring life. I don't want

221
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.240
<v Speaker 2>to spend the last year I spent over two hundred

222
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>and fourty days on reserve. I shut down my business

223
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>that day. And as I told you and expecting father,

224
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to participate war. But unfortunately I understand

225
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:09.080
<v Speaker 2>that we have to fight it. As long that they

226
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 2>are fighting and they want to destroy my country, to

227
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 2>kill my people, I'll do everything that it takes to

228
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.679
<v Speaker 2>make sure that I'm protecting them.

229
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I understand that, like a grown up sir, I certainly

230
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>understand that. But the biggest problem, the elephant in the room,

231
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>if I may be so bold, the Iranians are the

232
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>ones that are funding this. If the Iranians would not

233
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.879
<v Speaker 1>provide the weaponry, the money, the war machinery to these

234
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>terrorist organizations, I think you would be in a much

235
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.399
<v Speaker 1>better place because the terrorist organizations, as much as they

236
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>might want to eradicate you, are unable to do so

237
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 1>without military hardware and rockets. What do we do with Iran?

238
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 2>You're definitely right, You're definitely right. I think the entire

239
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.759
<v Speaker 2>of the world should understand that and to do embargos

240
00:13:55.799 --> 00:14:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and you know, just world pressure against terrorism against Iran,

241
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:07.879
<v Speaker 2>against Ri Bala, against the SEA organization in them and Lebanon, Syria.

242
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:12.919
<v Speaker 2>They all part of the same network. And just amazing

243
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.799
<v Speaker 2>because as as we just saw two days ago, one

244
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:23.360
<v Speaker 2>of the Iranian UH representatives in his in Lebanon got

245
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:30.159
<v Speaker 2>heard from those UH UH walkie TALKI explosions. Just show

246
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>learn only only you know, only the people who connected

247
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.039
<v Speaker 2>to his Bala had those those radio and yeah, this

248
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.200
<v Speaker 2>guy got hurt. So just show you that deep connection

249
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.960
<v Speaker 2>that they that they have between Iran to to Chris Bala.

250
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>And I can tell you that I saw multiple weapons

251
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>inside the Gaza strip that were made by Iran. So yeah,

252
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I think the entire world should understand and and and

253
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.720
<v Speaker 2>do as much pressure as we can.

254
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, if it was up to me, I would do

255
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>everything in my power to get the Iranians eradicated myself.

256
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>They are obviously a source of discontent, weaponry, and war,

257
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.879
<v Speaker 1>and they hate us as much as the the Hamas

258
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:17.679
<v Speaker 1>hates Israel. So, sir, you're obviously very brave. I wish

259
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.639
<v Speaker 1>you all the best, and you're the fact that your

260
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.879
<v Speaker 1>wife is pregnant, you're you're you're waiting to become a

261
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>father in the middle of this crisis is proof that

262
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the world continues to evolve and move on and live,

263
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.879
<v Speaker 1>thrive and survive. So I wish you and your wife

264
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the best of health and uh and you have a

265
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.039
<v Speaker 1>word or two you want to say about your fellow

266
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:36.919
<v Speaker 1>soldiers before we part company today.

267
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So, first of all, I want to say about

268
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:45.399
<v Speaker 2>my fellow soldier and about my comrades. I think that

269
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 2>I have an amazing team, and I have an amazing people,

270
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>and I wish the war knew them, you know, privately,

271
00:15:54.600 --> 00:16:00.960
<v Speaker 2>because personally, I'm sorry because we all people who want

272
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:03.919
<v Speaker 2>to leave, who want to be with our family, but

273
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.279
<v Speaker 2>we know that sometimes we need to put everything aside

274
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.360
<v Speaker 2>and fight talk for our country. But I also want

275
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 2>to say thank you for all the people in the
