Transcript [00:00] Hey folks, Fleer here. Bill Aman is a [00:03] good man. He's a commentator, a hedge [00:05] fund manager, and a strong pro-Israel [00:07] supporter. No doubt about it. But he [00:09] came out with a statement on Twitter [00:11] saying that don't vote Smutri and don't [00:15] vote Benvir because these guys have hurt [00:18] Israel's international reputation. [00:21] This is a galuti and exilic way of [00:24] thinking. It's it's a fundamental [00:26] misunderstanding [00:28] of what these men and especially the [00:30] candidate that I'm running with which is [00:33] itar Benvir and the Osmayud party Bill [00:35] did not understand what these men have [00:37] brought to the country [00:40] in simple terms they have brought [00:41] security. They have brought security [00:43] especially Minister Benvir who has [00:46] empowered uh the Jewish people by [00:49] allowing three times more personal [00:51] weapons to exist in Israeli hands. That [00:54] means that Israelis are much safer from [00:56] an October 7th style attack. Yet, Bill [01:00] Aman thinks that Benvver has hurt [01:03] Israel's international reputation and [01:05] therefore don't vote for them. Bill, a [01:08] few things. First thing is don't be so [01:10] afraid of what we call, you know, the [01:12] nations. Don't be afraid of the nations. [01:14] Don't be afraid of what they say. Israel [01:16] needs security first and foremost. And [01:18] you as a Zionist and a lover of Israel [01:21] should be saying to the people of [01:22] Israel, hey, no matter what, first thing [01:24] is vote security. We're a posth [01:26] Holocaust people. Make sure that Jewish [01:28] people are secure. And with regarding to [01:30] our international standing bill, it's [01:32] not Benvir who has hurt our [01:34] international standing. It's giving away [01:36] the land of Israel, giving it over to [01:38] the jihad, letting them make war upon [01:41] us, weakening us with our own hands, [01:44] creating a parcel of land in the [01:45] heartland of our country and calling it [01:47] a Palestine or putting a Palestinian [01:50] authority there. Benvir wants to get rid [01:53] of the Palestinian authority and that [01:54] whole narrative. He wants to empower the [01:56] Jewish people. And it's through that [01:59] strength that people will come to [02:01] respect us. There's a reason that the [02:03] Arabs who are pro- jihad fear Benvir [02:06] because they understand that he has put [02:08] them on the crosshairs. He is there to [02:11] push back on the jihadist takeover of [02:13] our land. Benvir is actually a great [02:16] diplomat. And before you laugh, take a [02:20] moment to understand. He's a great [02:22] diplomat because he speaks to the east, [02:25] to the jihadis, to the wouldbe jihadis. [02:28] He's scaring them. He's pushing them [02:30] back. and the west he's not cowtowing [02:32] towards them and he is not appeasing [02:35] them and maybe in the long run that's a [02:37] better policy. In any case uh here is uh [02:41] some clips of my discussions and parlor [02:44] meetings explaining what is really the [02:46] root of international hate for Israel [02:50] and how we can do it better to get our [02:54] advocacy out there to get our message [02:56] out there. But the key of course is [02:58] Jewish strength. That's the name of the [03:00] party that I'm running with. Jewish [03:01] strength. [03:02] And before you watch the rest of the [03:04] video, remember, vote bet. Bet. The [03:08] letter bet, second letter in the Hebrew [03:10] alphabet. It stands for beton, security. [03:12] It stands for braha. It stands for [03:14] blessing. It stands for Benvir. Uh, and [03:16] it stands for Jewish strength. Check [03:18] this out. A lot of diaspora Jews see [03:21] Benvir as divisive. Um, they don't like [03:25] him at all. They claim that it's harming [03:28] Israel diaspora relations. A lot of [03:30] members of Congress and a lot of people [03:32] in the American government are [03:33] uncomfortable with him. How do we [03:35] address that or how do you address that [03:37] um that problem of having somebody that [03:40] is talking in a way that rubs people the [03:43] wrong way? [03:44] >> Yeah, fabulous and correct question. So, [03:47] I'm going to answer that in a few [03:48] different ways because uh because [03:50] there's a few different ways to answer [03:51] that. First thing is is that you made [03:54] that as an assertion. I want to make a [03:56] counter assertion. I took him to [03:58] America. I took him to the five towns. [04:01] There was one shu that canceled on us. [04:03] The rabbi's father passed away. A [04:05] different rabbi was in charge. They [04:06] canceled blah blah blah. We had standing [04:09] room only in all the shs that we went [04:11] to. I think five or six shooles just on [04:13] Shabas. We walked 20 kilometers with [04:15] security detail driving behind us. Okay. [04:17] Everywhere we went, standing ovations, [04:19] standing room only, and standing [04:20] ovations, people were excited to hear. [04:22] He didn't say one thing that somehow [04:25] rubbed people the wrong way. You know [04:26] why? Because his platform is simply a [04:30] centrist Republican platform. Death [04:32] penalty for murderers, treat them [04:34] harshly in jail, guns to the people, gun [04:37] rights, second amendment type stuff, [04:38] basic stuff. Equal rights for Jews on [04:41] the Temple Mount. There's nothing that [04:42] he said that was controversial. Now [04:44] there are some newspapers certainly like [04:47] the New York Times and that but also our [04:49] own times of Israel which just bismerch [04:51] and want to portray him as a radicalist [04:53] and that but the fact is is that the [04:55] Israeli people don't think that way and [04:57] what I saw in Florida in New York is is [05:00] nothing like that at all. Yes, the left [05:02] is against nationalism, strong Jews, [05:04] that whole thing. That's not a but I saw [05:07] lots and lots of normative American Jews [05:09] who were very very impressed with him [05:11] and and gave him a lot of respect. [05:12] That's number one. Number two is Benir's [05:16] face has not been towards diaspora Jews [05:18] or towards diplomacy with the Europeans. [05:21] In parenthesis, our diplomatic efforts [05:23] with the Europeans and all that, where [05:25] is that exactly yielded? All of the [05:26] cowtowing, yeah, civility, very good, [05:29] it's a good word. All that, where has [05:30] that yielded us? [05:33] Where's the objective question? Has that [05:35] worked? Total failure. Abject failure. [05:38] But the fact is is that Ben has not been [05:40] his face has not been towards diplomacy. [05:41] It's been towards Israeli base that [05:43] wants to feel stronger and towards the [05:46] jihadist potential enemies and signaling [05:49] to them that's where his diplomacy has [05:50] been. It's been this way. It's been [05:51] towards the east, not towards the west. [05:54] Now he's taken me on board. Maybe I can [05:56] help out with that. Not by uh [05:59] mitigating, you know, his his stances. [06:02] That's not that's he wouldn't he [06:04] wouldn't take me if that was what my [06:05] thing was about. Uh, no, but by [06:08] explaining them as I just did that it's [06:09] really a centrist Republican type of [06:13] American can understand any conservative [06:15] American can understand this platform. [06:17] But sometimes you have to say it in [06:19] words. He's talking with alligators to [06:21] the jihadis. Okay? He's not talking to [06:23] the, you know, to the Euro uh, you know, [06:26] guy in Norway. Okay? And and and by the [06:29] way, maybe he should, right? And not [06:32] only should he talk with Norway, but [06:35] today in Europe and in the United [06:37] States, there's a budding nationalist [06:40] awakening, [06:42] patriotic, pro- Bible, pro- [06:45] self-defense, pro- family, pro- values, [06:47] anti-progressive, anti- jihad. And [06:50] there's a some kind of loose alliance, [06:53] and he has not faced that alliance. But [06:55] I think there is something to work with. [06:57] All the folks that are want those values [07:00] back in our society, want to push back [07:01] on jihadism, I'll help move that project [07:04] forward.
