I will admit to you that it is difficult for me not to think of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas.
|
|
There's no question but some have been murdered in captivity.
|
|
It's no question that some have been tortured and no question that I don't know what number of women have been abused and even perhaps raped.
|
|
It doesn't merit the world's attention.
|
|
The world is not a good place.
|
|
There might, there's a lot of articles that there might be a war between Israel and Iran.
|
|
and I never thought I would say this, but I think that there will be a percentage of Americans rooting for Iran.
|
|
It's hard to believe.
|
|
We've gone from the people who kidnapped American State Department workers, remember that, after the Khomeini Revolution?
|
|
How long were they kept in captivity?
|
|
Was it 444 days?
|
|
Huh?
|
|
444, yeah.
|
|
The ease with which people forget the past is...
|
|
It's quite remarkable.
|
|
I've always argued history is the most important subject you can study.
|
|
I'm reading a biography of James Garfield.
|
|
Yeah, no, I read it.
|
|
You read it?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's very good.
|
|
It opens up, the first page even, just summarizing his life and how he spoke about the, during the Civil War, we're fighting To end slavery.
|
|
But if you say the Civil War was to end slavery, people get annoyed with you.
|
|
No, no, no.
|
|
The North couldn't care less about slavery.
|
|
That might have been true about some Northerners.
|
|
But it wasn't true during the Civil War, as people asked, why are we dying in such numbers?
|
|
Somebody sent me a picture in Norway of a storefront in the city of Bergen.
|
|
You saw that?
|
|
Where did you see it?
|
|
That's interesting that you saw it too.
|
|
And on the storefront, somebody wrote Zionists.
|
|
It's basically the same word in Norwegian, Zionisten.
|
|
And then somebody who put this up showed a picture of Norway in 1942 with a storefront with Yodin, Jews.
|
|
There's no difference.
|
|
There is no difference.
|
|
Just people don't say Jews today, they say Zionists.
|
|
The only ones who say Jews today are Hamas.
|
|
They say Zionists for the Western press, but...
|
|
Reference is, let's kill as many Jews as possible.
|
|
People don't want to hear this because it is annoying.
|
|
Good and evil are annoying subjects.
|
|
It is said that Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
|
|
But people don't want to know about good and evil.
|
|
It's an interesting observation on that.
|
|
Great, great, brilliant story.
|
|
What they want to do is determine good and evil.
|
|
They don't want to know good and evil.
|
|
And that's what the eating of the tree was about.
|
|
You will be like God, determining good and evil.
|
|
That is the way it should be understood.
