Ladies and gentlemen, your sweet Zionist, white colonizer, tall the traveling CL, coming to you live from the United States of America. We've got a bit of a controversial clip today about the divide between American Jews and Israeli Jews. It's going to be spicy, okay? And I'm going to have some good commentary on this, so strap in.
Where are you from? I was born in Jerusalem, folks, uh, from the USSR. So they've expelled real socialism. My question is to you, is this what do you think about foreign aid to Israel? Is it a strategic partnership? Israel is a partner of the United States, but people in Israel got to understand something: the number one enemy to the people in Israel are American Jews that do not support Israel and do not support MAGA. Okay, MAGA and the Evangelical Christians and the traditional Catholics in this country have Israel's back; they have the Jews' back. The biggest single enemy to the Jewish people are not the Islamic supremacists; the biggest enemy you have is inside the wire—Progressive Jewish billionaires that are funding all this stuff. They are the number one enemy. The people in Israel got to get, got to have to set that right, because MAGA has your back, traditional Catholics have your back, and Evangelical Christians have your back. We will always have the back of Israel, but I got to tell you, you have an enemy inside the wire.
It's going to get spicy, all right? I'm just going to—I mean, it's going to get spicy, just prepare yourself, okay? And calm down, because this comes from a place of love. Let's start with every—let's unpack everything he said. Islamic supremacists in America. And by the way, kudos to this man—I don't know who he is; I probably should know who he is, but I don't know who he is—kudos to this man for saying "Islamic supremacists," okay? Because that is exactly what we're up against. We're against Arab Islamic supremacists who hold themselves—are racist and hold themselves to a degree higher than anybody else. And yes, they exist in America, and they exist around the Arab world; they exist in Israel, too. They believe that they are the chosen people; they believe they are better than anybody else; and they believe that their opinions and their way of life trumps anybody else's. So that's one—absolutely, he's correct. They're not the number one enemy, but what they are definitely an enemy. And if we don't quell that—and how do I say quell that?—it doesn't mean you go on a rampage and attack people; it means you do an ego check. What do I do on this YouTube channel consistently? All I do is talk about how Arab Muslims and their shortcomings are destroying their own society. You bring the fight to them; go on the offense. You don't always need to be defending Israel; you can deflect. We need to All Rise Up and ego check the Muslim American community and ego check the Arab American community and let them know that their society ain't it, ain't it. And it doesn't come from a perspective of racism, because to be honest with you, most Arabs are not even really Arab. Arab isn't a race; it's a faux group that people buy into because of colonization. It's not really—you can't really be an Arab, like a very small group of people who are actually Arab; the rest of the people are Arabized. But that needs to be called out. That is, in my opinion, address number one, and it needs to come—I think a vast majority needs to come from Mizrahi Jewish people like me, the brown and black Jews out here, need to step up to the plate and start calling out American Muslims and Muslims in the West and Arabs in the West that their society ain't it, and they have a lot of terrorism right from their society and a lot of shortcomings in their society, and we need to ego check them—not bully them, but we need to ego—I mean, you can bully them a little bit, but you need to ego check them. You need to bring them down a notch, because their noses are up in the sky, and you can't have that; you got to bring that down a few notches. In Hebrew, we have this saying, "AA," when your—when your nose is up in the sky, when your ego is so large you can't hear anything, you got to bring that down a notch; you got to ego check these human beings.
That's one. Two, getting unpacking the uncomfortable bit. Yes, there is a massive issue with the Jewish people in America, especially Jewish people who don't support Israel, and especially Jewish people who kind of support Israel but are on the fence about a lot of things that Israel has to do to survive. Listen, I'm privileged to be in the position to be both an American and a Mizrahi Jew who has Israeli ties, who has lived in Israel a lot of his life, and his whole family lives in Israel. I've got a very, very well-rounded, balanced look at the world around me. I understand the threats, and I understand the partners that we have strategically in this region, both in America and in the Middle East, and it's really, really important to remember that, okay? And and I say this with love, okay, but sort of liberal, left-leaning Jews in America cannot be the spokespeople of the state of Israel or the Jewish people. They cannot—those values are not in line with what we need to do to survive. You know what? I'm even open to this: if somehow we do solve the Middle Eastern conflict one day in the future, inshallah, if we're able to put—put that down, I'd be open to a conversation about liberalism in the Middle East. I wouldn't be opposed to it. But the thing is, Jewish people in America being the voice—okay, and I say specifically liberal Jewish people in America being the voice of the state of Israel and the Jewish people—is extremely dangerous for all of us, because a lot of times these Jewish people don't know what it takes to survive in the Middle East. They don't know the story of my family. That's why so many times since October 7th I've been asked by Jews in Israel—American Jews in Israel—if I'm even Jewish. Yes, I—you—not people have asked me if I'm Arab, because unfortunately, and this is something I've seen with my own advocacy, a lot of Jewish people in America are just misinformed. They don't know about Israel; they have a caricature of what Israel is, and it pretty much exists between the boardwalk in Tel Aviv to Shuk, and that's what they know, and and they know only what they've seen on their Birthright trip. And honestly, a lot of people may look at me and just be like, "Oh, he's an Arab citizen of Israel." People forget that 70% of the country of Israel is made up of brown and black Jews who came from the Mizrahi diaspora. And yes, people give me comments: "You don't stop talking about being a Mizrahi Jew." M-this Mizrahi—I'm going to bring this point home until we make a change. I will not rest. This is my—this is my mission. I don't care how many times I have to repeat myself; this is the mission. People need to understand the Mizrahi Jewish diaspora, because we are the key, in my opinion, to solving this conflict. It comes from us; it is our time; it is our time now to step up to the plate and bring an end to this conflict, alongside hopefully the American administration. Now, Mizrahi Jews need to be in the forefront of fighting and combating this anti-Semitism, all this white colonizing narrative. We need to be there on the forefront to start changing the narrative and re-educating the Arab and Muslim world against their hypocrisy. And it starts by—by unfortunately, we have to do this—but it starts also by re-educating our Jewish people back home.
One of the reasons I'm here in America, for anybody who's watching this right now—I'm, by the way, I'm in America right now on tour, going to speak in different places—one of the big reasons I came here to the US, I want to re-educate Jewish people, not just Arabs and Christians that I want to speak to, but Jewish people need to be re-educated. So if you are interested in bringing me to your community or having me speak at your school, please consider sending me an email, a DM, somewhere—try to get in contact with me somewhere. Email is really the best place: cab.trving.clat@gmail.com. Send us an email, and and see if we can get you—if you can help us get invited to your school, to your university, to your college, to your whatever it is. We want to speak to your community; we want—want to re-educate the Jewish world, because it's really crucial; it's really, really important that we get that done. If we don't get that done, I don't know how we'll be able to progress into—into a new age of understanding between our Arab compatriots and our Jewish compatriots. We'll never be able to get it done.
And the last point I want to touch on is the Evangelical community, the Christian community. I just finished a tour uh, about Israel in the Caribbean, where I was predominantly hosted by Evangelical Christians. They are some of the most incredible people, and they are real true friends of Israel. Yes, there's this element, and I—I'm not going to lie about it—there's an element sometimes of people who want you to convert to Christianity; they want you to become a Christian, and that, as a Jew, it can kind of be uncomfortable. I'm not going to lie about it; it's the honest truth. Um, but if you put that small thing to the side and you're able to look past that and towards a future where we as Christians and Jews work together, this man in the video is absolutely correct. Christians are our friends; we must work with the Christians; we must work as Jews with the Christian community to usher in a new age of strength on our ends. An element that people ignore is the Christians of the Middle East; those people should be our best friends, and we are losing them. As not only are we losing them because they're being massacred in Syria and in Lebanon, everywhere they go, Christians are being massacred in the Middle East. These are the original followers of Jesus; some of these people are part of—integrally—some of these people have some of the most ancient DNA; they're not Arab colonizers; they are people who have been Arabized by force. And these Christians, while they can't raise their head up, we need to help them, make them feel supported, make them know that the Jews and Amis is behind them. Yes, we have a difference of religion, but we stand with the Christians of the Middle East. I stand with the Christians of the Middle East; I won't let that rest. We should all take that upon ourselves. So Christians and Jews, we need to rise up together. And this was honestly a very beautiful message, and I'm sorry if what I said was controversial for you, but it's the truth, and you need to hear it. I love you guys a long time, and I'll see you in the next one. Goodbye, class.
