00:00Now, the netizens, oh, social media has been in uproar because several influencers heeded the call to go be PR people or rather to do PR for the nation of Israel.
00:16Yeah, you heard it, you heard it.
00:18And while some of them may argue and say that it was a faith-based trip, it was simply because of their faith, it was part of their bucket list, and that is a very valid reason.
00:29You know, I could want to go to a place simply because of my faith.
00:35I'm not taking that away from you.
00:38But all I'm saying is, look at the climate, look at the things around you.
00:43And you want to say that all of those influencers there, they could not afford small, small money out of their pocket to go to said country.
00:52It had to be a PR chip on behalf of the nation of Israel.
00:55That was crazy.
00:57Now, somebody did leak, apparently, the proposal that was sent to these influencers, and it said that we are organizing a fully sponsored influencer trip to Israel from the 22nd to the 28th.
01:12I'm assuming they're coming back today.
01:14Now, we'd love to have you join us.
01:19The trip will cover flights, accommodation, and three meals a day.
01:23The only thing we ask in return is that you create and share authentic content about your experiences in Israel.
01:33And it goes on to just, you know, kind of explain that there's no monetary compensation.
01:38Okay, cool.
01:39You're giving me an opportunity to travel.
01:42If it was like a travel agency that was working with influencers, I'd be like, is there another location?
01:49You know, can we go to Paris?
01:51Can we land in another nation?
01:53Does it really have to be Israel?
01:55But this was straight from the government on Israel.
01:58Now, there are rumors that American influencers were offered $7,000 to participate in such a PR trip before.
02:09So, I'm like, if they were giving me $7,000, the bills are due, the bag is here, I am going.
02:20But I'm not going to sanitize.
02:21This is work for me.
02:23But you guys, you know, it was holier than thou.
02:26We have been chosen.
02:27It is our faith.
02:29Okay, here we go.
02:30So, the fact that you guys are not acknowledging that it was a bad move on your end is what is pissing me off.
02:38You know, it's okay if you're going there for vibes and inshallah.
02:41Cool, do you?
02:42But if you're going to go all the way to sanitize a country that's responsible for the genocide of people,
02:51active genocide.
02:53active genocide, wiping out an entire nation, women, children.
02:58And I don't even have to use women and children to make you understand how severe it is.
03:03You see it every single day.
03:05And I'm not even going to get into the politics of, oh, but we don't want Hamas to take over.
03:10Oh, Islam extremists.
03:13Nah.
03:14These people use their resources to wipe out innocent civilians caught up in whatever political agenda was going on.
03:22So, yeah, it was a bad move on your end.
03:25Me, I'd just like you guys to be accountable and not try to gloss over the fact and say it was faith-based for me.
03:33You know, this is a faith-based move.
03:34The thing that pisses me the F off, like proper, okay, is, was it yesterday or the day before yesterday?
03:40Do you know that the Israeli government pushed the boundary a little bit more?
03:46Unajopi nyamekizu ma barricades and whatever, they pushed it a little bit more, which means they're taking over even more land from Palestine.
03:54As you are, ukima uko, ukima kegosho, whatever kegosho these people are singing.
04:01Because every reel, every vlog has a kegosho song.
04:05Jerusalem, I'm giving it.
04:07Okay, listen.
04:11It's important for you to understand the thing that Turi said, which was very vital.
04:16One, if you are participating in this, if you are going to see Israel for your own pleasure, not sponsored by the actual government,
04:28if I take money out of my own pocket and I go to Israel, that is a level of idiocy that no one can help us with, okay?
04:39Like, if I take my own money, travel all the way to Israel, keep showing you everything that's going on, unsponsored by anyone,
04:47that's just me being an idiot.
04:49That's me being an idiot.
04:51But if a government pays me to go and sanitize the optics of the country by showing me this,
05:02by showing everyone else this glamorized version of a very cleaned up, small section of the place,
05:09and I take that, not even paid, but I just take that opportunity and I go to do exactly that,
05:18to continue pushing the narrative, the propaganda, that that particular country is good, all is well, they are.
05:26You know, if I am taking that and using it as my yardstick of saying,
05:33oh yeah, I've always wanted to go anyway, so might as well get this semi-paid partnership, right?
05:40That is called the betrayal of humanity.
05:43And those two things are just as stupid, but equally horrible.
05:50Because the stories that come out of Palestine every single day,
05:55the fact that the water systems have been stopped, do you know now when it floods,
05:59because it rains, it's near winter, it's been raining quite a lot, the streets are flooded, right?
06:04Because the generators that used to pump water out of the systems
06:08and take them back into the ocean have been shut down.
06:12There is no electricity, right?
06:14These are the same lands.
06:17These floods are going above land, which we have buried bodies upon bodies upon bodies.
06:24What does that mean?
06:25That means that that water is definitely contaminated, okay?
06:28It's definitely contaminated.
06:30And people have no options because, first of all, you're already living in rubble, okay?
06:35So if it rains and it floods a little bit, guess what?
06:38Your feet are consistently in this water.
06:40Do you know how many plagues can come out of that?
06:44Decomposing.
06:46And you take your full two legs and your two working eyes
06:50and you decide to go and clean the look of this particular country.
06:56You know what?
06:57I guess sometimes people just can't be saved.
06:59The one who pissed me off the most was the one who, I think at some point she said,
07:04oh my God, I shared a poster or like a TikTok video where she was like,
07:11countries I have visited this year.
07:15And then the pictures were blank, blank, blank.
07:17So she said she's not filling in those blanks, right?
07:21And in my mind, I'm like, okay, you visiting many different countries
07:25so you can post for us on social media is what is the thing that is pushing you to go
07:31so you can have a small little collage of you in that country?
07:36Like me, sometimes it's not, I don't know.
07:38Sometimes I feel like it's not even worth it talking to people
07:40because people will just do whatever the hell they want to do.
07:42And it's okay, you do you.
07:44If that's what you're, if that's the hill you want to die on,
07:46then die on that hill, girl.
07:47It's a U-team at this point.
