00:54Oh
01:30We want to serve America, immigrants want to serve America, God bless you.

01:39Yeah, yeah!
01:41Go!
01:45Go!
01:46Go!
01:49Go!
01:59We are standing here in gosh Hamish Plaza, just across the street of the United Nations headquarters
02:03here in New York City, while the General Assembly is going on here.
02:08And Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to speak, here, supposedly representing all Jews.
02:14Supposedly representing myself.
02:16and that Netanyahu who refuses to follow the Jewish religion
02:20dares to misuse that very same religion he refuses to follow
02:24in order to justify all the crimes he commits.
02:27This is an embarrassment to our people.
02:29This is a desecration of the Jewish religion.
02:32We are here to set the record straight.
02:34Benjamin Netanyahu, when he stands in Israel
02:36or when he stands up in the United Nations,
02:38in no way does he represent world Jewry
02:40and certainly does not reflect the voice of the Holy Torah, the Jewish religion.
02:46This is an embarrassment to our people, a desecration of our religion.
02:50When we are standing here and across the street,
02:52there is this supposed anti-Semitic rally claiming to fight anti-Semitism.
02:58Listen what is going on.
02:59They are supporting crimes in Palestine
03:04and by doing so causing hatred towards Jews
03:08because they claim to represent all Jews
03:10and then they come and claim to fight anti-Semitism.
03:13These people are exacerbating anti-Semitism.
03:16These people are fueling anti-Semitism.
03:18This movement of Zionism is not only a catastrophe for Palestine
03:23but this is a danger for the Jewish people as well.
03:26People need to realize and understand
03:27that Judaism and Zionism is not the same.
03:31They are diametrically opposed to each other.
03:33Judaism is a religion, a religion only.
03:36No politics to it, no nationalism.
03:38Versus Zionism, which is a purely political movement
03:41committing so many crimes against others,
03:43a rebellion against God,
03:45a violation of the Jewish religion,
03:47killing, stealing, oppressing an entire people.
03:49These are not only violations of international law.
03:52These are violations of Judaism.
03:54And not only this,
03:56the actual existence of the state of Israel,
03:59the philosophy of Zionism,
04:00the idea of building a sovereign homeland for Jews
04:03by physical means
04:04happens to be in total contrast
04:06of very basics of Judaism
04:08which teaches that Jewish people
04:09are in a divinely decreed exile.
04:12We are forbidden to end this exile
04:14by any physical means.
04:16We are required by our religion
04:17to be loyal citizens and peaceful neighbors
04:20regardless where we live.
04:21This is how Jewish people lived for thousands of years.
04:24This movement of Zionism
04:25is a relatively new movement
04:27just over a hundred years
04:28while we have a Jewish religion
04:30at 3,000 years old.
04:32In no way can the movement of Zionism
04:35represent Judaism
04:35and in no way does the state of Israel
04:38represent world Jewry.
04:40People need to realize,
04:41anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism.
04:44Speaking up against crimes
04:45committed by Israel to the Palestinian people,
04:48this is a righteous cause.
04:50People should stand up for justice.
04:53People should stand up for the oppressed.
04:55We as Jewish people,
04:56because we are Jewish,
04:57we oppose Zionism
04:59because it is a rebellion against God.
05:01We oppose Zionism
05:02because it is a violation of Judaism.
05:05We oppose Zionism
05:06because it is causing so much harm,
05:08danger and destruction
05:09to an entire people,
05:11an indigenous population of Palestine.
05:13and we are against the state of Israel
05:15because they endanger Jewish people as well.
05:18Don't they dare to claim to fight anti-Semitism?
05:23They should stop the cause
05:25to current anti-Semitism.
05:26They should stop committing all these crimes,
05:29which unfortunately is destroying
05:31an entire people in Palestine
05:33and endangering the Jewish people.
05:36This is hypocrisy.
05:37This is hypocritical from beginning to end.
05:39People need to wake up and realize
05:41that this needs to be stopped.
05:43This must be condemned.
05:44This must be criticized.
05:46And right-minded people
05:48should stand up for justice.
05:49And again,
05:50anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism.
05:52We encourage people
05:54who are concerned about anti-Semitism.
05:56Everyone should be concerned
05:57about anti-Semitism.
05:58And while being concerned
05:59about anti-Semitism,
06:01we should be concerned
06:01about any racism against any people.
06:05We should be just.
06:06We should be right-minded.
06:07We should be correct.
06:09And we should stand up for humanity.
06:10We should stand up for Almighty God.
06:12And we should make sure
06:13that we are on the right side of history.
06:15Cry and hurt
06:16with the suffering of the people in Gaza.
06:19The genocide,
06:20the murder,
06:21the people being murdered wholesale,
06:24whether it is in Lebanon,
06:25whether it is in the West Bank,
06:27whether it is in Iran.
06:29All of this is being perpetrated
06:31in the name of my religion.
06:32And we will not be silent.
06:34We will not be silent
06:36where we see
06:37how they ensnare
06:38Jewish children
06:41from non-religious families
06:43and they convince them
06:45that what they're doing
06:46is something to please God
06:48when the existence of the state
06:49is clearly
06:50a crime.
06:52We are forbidden
06:53to occupy.
06:54We are forbidden
06:55to kill and steal.
06:57We are forbidden
06:57to have this entity.
07:00We therefore
07:01will,
07:02with God's help,
07:04have the leaders
07:05of the world,
07:05we hope,
07:07they will stand up
07:08and once,
07:08just like apartheid ended,
07:10they will free
07:11Palestine
07:12from the clutches
07:13of this unacceptable
07:15illegal movement
07:16called the State of Israel
07:17that we'll be able
07:17to live together
07:18in peace and harmony
07:19with a free Palestine
07:21and it will stop
07:23anti-Semitism
07:24that is directly caused
07:25by Zionism
07:27and their assistance
07:31around the world
07:32that creates hate
07:33and a rift
07:34between Jews and Muslims.
07:36Stop Zionism,
07:37there will be
07:38an end
07:39of this exacerbation
07:40of anti-Semitism.
