Transcript [00:00] All right, folks. Ci Fleer here [00:01] broadcasting from the land of Israel, [00:03] sending you blessings to wherever you [00:05] are. The folks at Al Jeser are enemies [00:07] of Israel. They don't deny it. They're [00:10] out there calling Israel an occupation, [00:12] a colonialism. They have a lot of words [00:13] for us. Now, within the pantheon of [00:16] enemies that Israel faces, you know, we [00:19] got Egyptian tanks and rockets and kamas [00:23] terrorists. We got a lot of enemies. [00:25] Don't forget Iranian nuclear ambitions. [00:28] But Al Jazzer is different. It fights in [00:31] the arena of legitimacy, in the arena of [00:36] global narrative, uh, public diplomacy. [00:39] These guys are out there to erase the [00:41] story of Israel, call us bad names, tell [00:44] us that we're genociders and occupiers, [00:46] and replace our whole story with a [00:49] Palestine. Well, how they pronounce it, [00:51] Palestine. Right? So, that's what [00:53] they're all about. Now the next segment [00:55] that they just put out uh is about the [00:58] capital of Samaria. Samaria has been uh [01:02] an important capital for the Jewish [01:03] people for three and a half thousand [01:05] years. And in the times of the Bible, [01:07] King Omry built up Shamron as a capital [01:10] and was later named by Herod Sebastia [01:14] for Augustus Caesar. Uh so now the state [01:18] of Israel is finally in a process of [01:21] expropriating [01:23] this piece of land, this archaeology of [01:26] this ancient city Sebastia which has [01:28] been basically squatted upon by Arab [01:31] squatters [01:32] uh so-called Palestinians uh and has [01:35] been restricted given we have no access [01:38] to it in a normal way. Finally the state [01:40] of Israel is like listen this has tons [01:42] of biblical archaeology. It has tons of [01:45] first temple, second temple stuff. We've [01:48] got to make it into what it was, which [01:50] is a heart of Samaria. And they've [01:53] issued orders uh to really take this [01:55] piece of land and turn it in through [01:57] eminent domain and turn it into a an [02:01] archaeological garden and an archae [02:03] archaeological park that is going to be [02:05] accessible to all. Al Jazer does not [02:07] like that. Let's watch how Al Jazzer [02:09] understands the story of Sebastia. These [02:12] stones have witnessed the passage of [02:14] civilizations [02:16] as old as the bronze age. They carry [02:19] traces that [02:20] >> bronze age. There's another way of [02:22] saying bronze age and that is the time [02:25] of the Bible. But they're not going to [02:26] say that, right? They know it's bronze [02:28] age. They know it's old. They know it's [02:29] the time of the Bible. But they have a [02:31] different way of saying that so that you [02:32] don't make the connection. Bible equals [02:35] Israel equals that there Israel is the [02:38] Jewish people that are back now and [02:40] therefore they have every right to it. [02:41] So they have a different way to say that [02:43] the bronze age. [02:44] >> An occupying power wants to erase. [02:48] >> So they're saying that we Israel are the [02:50] occupying power that wants to erase the [02:53] the story, the history of this place. [02:56] Well, nothing is nothing of that is is [02:58] true at all. It's the opposite. We want [03:01] to develop this site and make it into [03:03] the archaeological park that it needs to [03:05] be. You'll see through this video that [03:07] the Palestinians that control this place [03:10] have left it. Look at this picture right [03:11] now. You could see that they have left [03:13] it. They have not developed it at all. [03:16] And it's ru ruins that become more [03:19] ruinous under their toutelage under [03:21] their hand. So now Israel is like, "No, [03:23] you see, it's time for us to build up [03:25] this thing and make sure that we're [03:27] going to visit it, live there, and see [03:29] the the beauty of it and develop it [03:31] because this is a very underdeveloped [03:33] site uh under these Arab squatters and [03:35] the and the PA that all it knows to do [03:37] is put up a flag, but it doesn't know [03:38] how to protect archaeology at all." [03:41] >> Seastia is believed to be the burial [03:43] site of John the Baptist. [03:45] >> Right? So according to Christian [03:46] tradition, later Christian tradition, [03:48] John the Baptist is buried here. Okay, [03:50] but Christians is that the PA uh uh are [03:53] are are you know are Muslims uh Muslim [03:56] Arabs. They certainly have nothing to do [03:57] with with with with Christian tradition. [03:59] >> One of the oldest continuously inhabited [04:01] areas in the occupied West Bank. A pride [04:04] of the people here also a source of [04:08] >> Does it look like it's the pride of the [04:09] people there? Did it look to you like [04:11] they really pride themselves on this [04:13] thing? They say that Al Jazer says the [04:16] pride of the people that live here. It [04:19] doesn't look like that at all. It looks [04:20] like they actually leave it fouled. In [04:22] fact, we know that uh under the PA uh [04:25] historical Jewish sites are [04:27] systematically ruined. We know that. We [04:30] know that they're broken, traeded, uh [04:32] destroyed in order to erase the Jewish [04:35] connection to this land. We know that [04:36] there's another thing which is looting. [04:38] Looting of archaeological sites. Uh they [04:41] go in, they loot what they can, then [04:42] they sell it on the black market. So [04:44] it's not the way Al Jazzer is telling [04:45] you here that they're somehow the people [04:47] are so connected to it. You could see [04:49] that they're not connected to you. Just [04:50] see it's an undeveloped site. They allow [04:52] it to be ruined. And in other places [04:54] close by, they actually actively destroy [04:55] it. You see that there's like an Arab [04:57] house uh two Arab houses there. You see [05:01] these are just people like living there. [05:02] And then you see a big uh uh PA flag, [05:05] right? A PA flat that they know how to [05:07] do. They know how to put up a big flag. [05:09] But is the place developed? No. Is it [05:11] protected? No. There's no fence even [05:13] around this archaeology. There's no [05:14] actual development of the place. [05:16] >> Now they're losing this archaeological [05:18] gem altogether. Israel's military issued [05:22] a confiscation order against 1.8 km. [05:25] They claim it has [05:27] >> case of Israel has issued a order of [05:30] eminent domain to protect the site from [05:34] squatters looters [05:37] the PA that just doesn't take care of it [05:39] or or destroys and tries to erase Jewish [05:41] history on it. So finally the state of [05:42] Israel finally after controlling this [05:45] land after the 19676 day war finally [05:48] it's waking up to protect this gem from [05:51] these destroyers. [05:52] >> Jewish heritage [05:55] tells us Israeli soldiers just tried to [05:58] kick him off his land. [06:00] >> I'm an old man trying to make a living. [06:03] Two Israeli army jeeps came here and [06:05] ordered me to leave. I told them this is [06:07] my land. Well, what do we know that it's [06:10] his land? Uh, do we want to believe Al [06:13] Jazer when they say that this guy's it's [06:15] it's his land? What does that mean? A [06:16] state doesn't have eminent domain. And [06:19] look at this guy. For God's sakes, you [06:20] could give him 20 shekele. He'll say [06:22] anything on camera for you. It's like, I [06:23] don't know who this guy is. They're not [06:24] going to show him. They're not going to [06:25] prove me any anything. And even if they [06:27] did, what the state of Israel is going [06:28] to allow such a wholesale destruction of [06:31] its archaeology? It has allowed that. [06:33] And now finally, it's rolling back that [06:36] bad policy. Okay. Okay. So, Al Jazzer is [06:38] giving us the emotional look. They're [06:40] getting kicked off the land. Yeah. [06:42] You're a squatter on on on on ancient [06:44] archaeology. You're And is this guy, [06:47] look at this guy. Is he going to take [06:48] care of of the archaeology here? Is he [06:51] going to make it into the the the the [06:53] the archaeological park that that that [06:56] is a is a treasure for all humanity? No. [06:59] >> Is my land. [07:00] >> Israel's antiquity minister announced [07:02] plans to take over the site from [07:04] Palestinians. He calls it correcting [07:07] injustice. [07:09] >> Good. Okay. So, Israel is saying it's [07:11] time to correct the injustice. This was [07:13] this was land that was taken away. Uh we [07:16] we you know through the Oslo process, we [07:18] gave this land away to the PA. We [07:20] thought we'd have access. We thought [07:21] they were protected, but we see there's [07:22] nothing uh of that happening. We see [07:24] that the Oslo process is actually a [07:27] horrific process where the Palestine is [07:29] a monster that wants to erase uh the [07:32] claims of Israel and and and really is [07:34] not a peaceful organization that we've [07:36] set up at all. It's in fact it's an [07:38] anti-semitic, anti-Israel, jihadist uh [07:41] and a super corrupt organization. So now [07:43] we're taking this land back. Good. This [07:45] the time has finally come. He says that [07:48] 2,800 years ago, a king named Omri [07:51] declared this site as the ancient [07:53] capital of the kingdom of Israel. [07:56] >> Okay. So, uh that's true, right? So, so [07:59] Omri built this capital. You know, the [08:02] 10 tribes uh uh that's the northern [08:04] kingdom. It's kingdom was based in [08:06] Samaria. So, okay. So, so Al Jazzer is [08:09] telling you that the Bible says that [08:11] indeed this is where the heart of the [08:13] Jewish story is. But watch how they deal [08:16] with that challenge uh of that uh the [08:21] Bible is and Omry is called into play. [08:24] His history is called into play. Watch [08:25] how they brilliantly deal with this [08:27] challenge. [08:28] >> The Palestinian are not allowed to do [08:29] anything in the site. [08:30] >> Zade Ahari was born here. [08:33] >> He became a tour guide. [08:34] >> He just says these Palestinians are not [08:36] allowed to do anything. You see that [08:37] they have houses on the plot and they [08:39] have they have flags. I don't think that [08:41] they're not allowed to do anything. I [08:42] think they're not doing anything to [08:44] protect it. They're doing stuff to [08:45] destroy it. But let's hear from this [08:47] tour guide [08:48] >> to share the beauty and the stories of [08:50] Sebastia with others. [08:52] >> I am the continuous generations of these [08:54] people [08:56] which the Israeli are using today. He's [08:58] my greatgrandfather. [09:00] >> What what what happened there? [09:03] Amgrandfather. [09:06] That is that is that what your what your [09:08] claim is? So you're not an Arab or a [09:10] Muslim or a jihadi or a PA person. [09:13] You're telling me that you are the [09:14] descendant of the Jews. You see that is [09:16] the ultimate the ultimate replacement [09:20] narrative. We've dealt with replacement [09:22] theology now replacement narrative. We [09:25] not only is is Palestine more legitimate [09:29] than Israel, I am Israel because I am [09:32] the grandson of Omry. You know, we know [09:34] that the Arabs came in in two major [09:36] waves uh in the seventh century and [09:39] later on after the crusades. We know [09:41] that they came in actually in a third [09:42] wave which was with the advent of [09:44] Zionism because there was work in the [09:46] land of Israel. So they came from Syria [09:48] and they came from Egypt and they came [09:50] from Iraq etc. Uh but this guy claims [09:54] that he is the true descendant of Omry. [09:58] Okay, you understand how they operate. [10:00] They're here to erase Israel and say [10:02] we're the real Israel. We are the [10:04] legitimate Israel. That's how Al Jazzer [10:06] is operating. Of course, they're not [10:07] challenging him on that on that issue [10:09] when he says I am the great grandson of [10:11] Omry. [10:12] >> Israeli official [10:13] >> and we the Jewish people, we are the [10:15] great grandsons of Omry, but they don't [10:18] they don't like that idea at all. [10:20] >> Say they're dedicating millions of [10:22] dollars to turn it into a national park. [10:25] And Israel may have not announced it [10:26] publicly, but expanding the powers of [10:29] its antiquities authorities to lands in [10:31] the occupied West Bank is part of [10:33] Israel's de facto annexation. This is [10:35] >> de facto annexation. Amen. I wish it was [10:39] I wish it was overt and not covert. I [10:42] wish it would just say that's exactly [10:43] what we're going to do. So, I agree with [10:45] you, Al Jazer. You're right. us taking [10:48] moving our uh uh archaeological [10:51] departments to uh to control parts of [10:55] Samaria is part of our de facto [10:57] annexation. I agree. Yes, your your [11:01] accusation is true. We seek to take over [11:04] this land. We seek to nationalize this [11:07] land. We seek to reverse the Oslo the [11:10] dreaded Oslo courts which gave away this [11:12] land to our own enemies. It was [11:15] horrifically dumb and now we're rolling [11:17] that bad policy back. Moreover, when you [11:20] had the opportunity and you had our [11:21] land, you did bad things with it and you [11:24] and you used it as a training ground for [11:26] terrorism against us. See the October [11:29] 7th massacre and they would do the same [11:30] thing from Judea and Samaria as well. [11:33] So, yes, we are finally expropriating. [11:35] We're bringing the archaeologists in. [11:37] And yes, we're we're holding on to this [11:39] land. Uh here is a map that uh that they [11:42] have. It looks like some ketchup was [11:44] spilled on a on an aerial photograph. Uh [11:47] but this kilometer and a half, square [11:49] kilometer and a half is going to be [11:51] under full Israeli control. [11:53] >> A map that was handed out by the Israeli [11:55] army to Palestinians. We're now standing [11:58] here in the forcibly confiscated area [12:01] that has archaeological remains that [12:03] survived centuries. [12:05] >> That's right. That's right. It's got [12:07] archaeological remains that survived [12:10] centuries. You're right. And now we're [12:12] taking it to ourselves. The the the the [12:17] continuation of those of those people [12:19] that built it there. That's that's [12:20] that's correct. You know, sometimes you [12:23] you have to know that the bad guys, they [12:25] try to scare you with words and you just [12:26] have to be like, "No, no, I I agree with [12:28] that. I do agree with that. I don't deny [12:30] uh that at all." By the way, I I just [12:32] want to uh tell you that I myself fought [12:34] against UNESCO, [12:37] the UN organization dedicated to [12:39] recognizing world heritage sites when [12:41] they wanted to do the same thing as Al [12:42] Jazzer, which is to rename the tomb of [12:45] the patriarchs and matriarchs a [12:46] Palestinian world heritage site. So this [12:49] is a ongoing battle that they have [12:52] through media, through UN organizations [12:55] to erase our history, to take us out of [12:57] it and to replace it as uh as uh re [13:02] rename it and and and re repackage it uh [13:06] as Palestine. Okay, there's al Jeazer [13:08] sign Ibraim. Ibraim. Ibraim. That's our [13:12] forefather Ibrahim. Sebastia occupied [13:14] West Bank. It's not occupied. It's [13:17] Jewish. It's the It's uh uh um what do I [13:21] like to call it? I like to call it uh uh [13:24] Jewish Israeli [13:28] uh just like Puerto Rico, just like the [13:30] Virgin Islands uh are territories of the [13:33] United States, this is an Israeli [13:35] territory. Uh it should be fully enexed [13:38] hopefully with the help of God soon, but [13:39] this is definitely a step. What do you [13:41] say, Nita? This land seure is yet [13:44] another way Israel is weaponizing [13:46] history against Palestinians and using [13:49] it as a tool to grab more lands. [13:52] >> See, this word when she said this, this [13:54] confused me. I'm like, how do I feel [13:56] about this term weaponizing history? [13:59] Well, you know, when you weaponize a [14:01] claim, [14:03] you make a claim. like we are are are we [14:06] the words weaponizing history sounds [14:08] scary but I'm like well yeah we are [14:13] saying history legitimizes our claim and [14:17] that led to international law which [14:19] recognized Jewish rights in this land. [14:21] So in that sense yeah we're weaponizing [14:24] history to say we have a superior claim. [14:26] I I don't know if I can disagree that [14:28] like the the the spin on those words is [14:31] harsh but the essential meaning is is is [14:34] correct. Yes, this is our land and we [14:36] remember it. We recall it. The world [14:38] recognize it and and yes, we we claim it [14:40] as ours because of history. That's true. [14:42] Of course, when you read the Bible, [14:44] there's another uh set of of uh of [14:47] rights. And that set of rights is that [14:49] God promised us this land. And he [14:51] promised us that he would in gather the [14:53] exiles and that we would um we we would [14:56] reinherit this land after after a long [14:59] uh time away. And that's exactly the [15:02] great moment that we're living in right [15:03] now. time. Cheers. [15:06] That's good. Let's keep going with [15:08] Alazer. I need a little wine after this [15:11] this Alazer business that I'm watching. [15:13] >> All this is privately owned and recorded [15:16] in the land registry. [15:17] >> No, it's not. [laughter] [15:21] That's just a lie. It's not privately [15:23] owned. And even if it was, there's such [15:25] a thing as eminent domain. But it's not. [15:27] It's not recorded in a registry. These [15:29] guys make up registries left and right, [15:32] you know, and our own Supreme Court is [15:34] complicit in in some of the registry [15:36] problems. But the bottom line is [15:37] Sebastia is not private land. That [15:40] archaeological park is not private land. [15:42] It's going to be public land uh governed [15:45] by the state of Israel and made [15:47] available to all. [15:48] >> This is the largest expropriation order [15:51] for an archaeological site in the [15:53] occupied West Bank since 1967. [15:56] >> Amen. Baroo Hashem. It's the largest [15:59] expropriation order in Judea and [16:02] Samaria, the so-called West Bank, since [16:03] 1967. Well, it's about time. And there's [16:08] much more that we should be [16:10] expropriating or inappropriating or [16:12] appropriating because it's our land and [16:15] we got to take it back from the stupid [16:17] sick decisions of the Oslo period. [16:20] >> The stones that have stood for millennia [16:23] are under threat. [16:24] >> Two things. The stones that have stood [16:27] for millennia are under threat. Is that [16:30] wrong? That's right. Look at this. Look [16:32] at this beautiful Roman amphitheater. [16:34] What are these guys at the PA or this [16:37] that that that uh that farmer dude? Are [16:40] they doing anything to protect this this [16:42] amphitheater? They certainly are not. [16:45] And yes, they're under threat from [16:47] Palestine. And it's time for Israel to [16:49] clean up and make this place beautiful [16:51] for all with the help of God. People say [16:55] it's their land and their stories and no [16:58] one should take that away from them. [17:02] >> Indeed, uh, nobody should take that away [17:04] from us. And I agree with you again, Al [17:07] Jazzer.
