Rudy Rochman: On The Front Lines Against Hamas and Antisemitism

[@ruthbentley2090]

I have just listened to an interview with Rudi about his work visiting Jews around the world; to make the documentary “We Were Never Lost”. My admiration for him is huge, and the more I’ve read and watched about him, my heart for him gets bigger. A Light to all nations indeed! I pray that God will cover him with a huge warrior Angel and one for his brother. Bless you dear Rudy. Thankyou for your faithfulness. 🙏🏾🦋🎶

Im disappointed that so few people have watched this u-tube. He’s certainly worth following, 🙏🏾

Rudy's videos all seemed so up and positive and BAM ! October 7th and the next 60 days must have shattered a lot of hopes and dreams... it's about as ugly as I could imagine...Take care soldier.

[@arlenegojocco7518]

Thank you for this message. I have always asked why G-d has allowed His people persecution worldwide and even locate Israel in the Middle East where clearly they are dwarfed by their hostile Arab neighboursl. And I have come to the conclusion that being the underdog and overcoming miraculous odds only proves that there is the true G-d, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And Israel's role is to be the light to all the nations of the world. Thank you to you both!

Hamas's responsibility to provide , food , water , electricity , very kind of Israel

[@DraigCymraeg]

Its the UN s responsibility to provide everything to Gaza , Isarel is in fact providing them with food fuel and water as Hamas steals everything for themselves . But of course that doesnt get reported on Media as it doesnt fit their Narrative of Israel being an Occupier and Terrorits and Aparthrid Srate commiting Genocide and Ethnical Cleansing to the Gazan People which is as far from the truth it can be and outright disgusting . UN , WHO .Amnesty International and Red Cross have failed in their mission completely and shown their evil anti-semitic faces

[@BGergley]

I want to push back against the framing at 3:41: “If that changes and America starts pressuring Israel….And the Israeli government says ‘Well we haven’t finished the job’; how do you see that going down?” The relevant dynamic here is not “The US is pressuring, or might pressure, Israel”. And it is _certainly_ not any nonsense like “America wants there to be conflict so it can control the region and sell weapons to both sides” (The US sells weapons to Israel but not to Hamas). The relevant dynamic and background context is that _much of the rest of the world aside from the US_ would like to pressure Israel into an immediate ceasefire _even if that means leaving Hamas in a position to rebuild its arsenal/tunnels/etc and launch more attacks later_ (and some countries and armed groups might even be tempted to join in the war on Hamas’s side against Israel). Take a look, for example, at the UN Security Council and General Assembly votes on resolutions calling for an immediate ceasefire to get a sense of the balance of world opinion. The policy question from the American point of view is whether (and to what extent, and in what manner) should the US use its diplomatic, economic, and military power/leverage to counter any pressure that any anti-Israel coalition might try to apply. For example, should the US veto Security Council resolution that demand a ceasefire while leaving Hamas in power (which could theoretically include penalties for non-compliance such as sanctions or an arms embargo)? Should we send aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean Sea and/or Persian Gulf while making statements to deter Iran and Iran-backed armed groups from joining in the fight against Israel? Should the government approve requests for weapons sales/transfers to Israel if Israel makes such request during this war? In theory, the US could simply abstain from voting on such resolutions and refrain from sending weapons or warships to the region or doing anything to get involved at all. But this would increase the risk that countries or armed groups or mobs hostile to Israel would escalate military and diplomatic pressure on Israel - leaving Israel in a worse strategic position that it is in now. The actions the US does take have the intention and effect of improving Israel’s strategic position and range of options to act. The “pressure” from the US on Israel is really just US officials impressing on the Israeli government that the willingness/ability of the US to take such actions is not unlimited or unconditional, and is highly dependent on how Israel conducts itself, and the degree to which its actions and goals are defensible.

[@stoirmz]

I just caught this part from your post: "“America wants there to be conflict so it can control the region and sell weapons to both sides” (The US sells weapons to Israel but not to Hamas)." Well, it's not America that starts the wars, lends money to the warring countries, and supplies military equipment and munitions to both sides. It's that international cartel of Central Banks that supply all countries with their currency, and that controls economies. Our Federal Reserve is one of them. Our congress (the UNIPARTY) is bought off by the Fed, make no mistake. And it's the FEDERAL RESERVE that is lending the money. Their munitions factories supplied both America and Germany during WW2. As a matter of fact, most of the major wars in the past couple of centuries would not have happened without funding from central banks. Not that central banks haven't used America as a tool to achieve their purposes. But Israel has been used too. There is a reason Mossad, (& the CIA) didn't see the Oct. 7th attacks coming. There's a reason that the military took many hours just to respond. Way too late. That was on purpose. Israel was used as well. I will say this also. The U.S. sells weapons to Israel directly. But our American tax dollars supply Hamas too. Mainly via UNRWA. Billions of dollars have been funneled to GAZAN "REFUGEES" for DECADES. Their d*amn streets should be paved with gold, and Gaza should look like Beverly Hills. Instead, Gazans still live in squalor. Because ALL that money is used for MILITARY PURPOSES, EQUIPMENT, MUNITIONS, and VERY VERY EXPENSIVE TUNNELS. Meanwhile, Gazan children are indoctrinated to hate Jews from the time they can walk in UNRWA funded schools. More American tax dollars, as well as from many other countries. Class pictures of 8 year olds with guns, and stating they want to become fighters (terrorists) and kill Jews when they grow up, because the Jews are liars and stole their land. This is child abuse to the MAX. So sad. But there will be an endless supply of future terrorists to create wars. I am not happy that my American tax dollars are funding Hamas in Gaza, and have been for decades. So in a way, we do supply both sides. Because we are being used. God Bless Israel and America. Praying for peace and healing throughout the middle east.

I really liked Ruby Rochman his youtube channel. So thanks for having him on. I am not sure if I should respond but I think it might be useful to get an (ignorant) outsiders view on this situation maybe. First, I think The Rothschild family and their history in Europe and later in the new worlds has antagonized a lot of people with the role they played and play in the banking system, the different wars funded on multiple sides and the wealth they have generated with that might trigger a lot of resentment/jealousy? They are also named on the Balfour Declaration which seems fundamental to the founding of the jewish state. Obviously you can't hold a whole group of people responsible for the actions of a few individuals but I think the history of The Rothschilds and what they did might be the foundation for a lot of the feedback jewish people have received. Second, and again this situation is really complex, I have been diving into this issue since it came in the news and I watched some video about the situation of palestinian people in the west bank. And honestly it shocked me to my core. I had no idea this was going on. The youtube with the title - How Israeli Apartheid Destroyed My Hometown - is pretty shocking. Segregated streets. Settler violence. Military harassment. This happens all over the occupied West Bank, but perhaps nowhere are these scenes more concentrated than in the Old City of Hebron. The once vibrant Palestinian cultural center is now ground zero of Israeli apartheid. It’s also where AJ+‘s Dena Takruri’s family calls home. In this deeply personal documentary, Dena spends a day in Hebron retracing the footsteps of her father, who was born and raised in Hebron. She talks to Palestinians who are subjected to daily harassment from the Israeli military and settlers. And she is guided through the city by former Israeli soldiers, who tell her why their conscience is now forcing them to speak out against the occupation. It seems very difficult to understand for an outsider why Israel would treat their neighbours in such a way. It seems deeply unethical and immoral and if people don't care about that it is a PR nightmare for Israel to normal outside people. Third, I would like to quote some leaders that really helped to gain their people rights. “For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.“ ~ Nelson Mandela “Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.“ ~ Martin Luther King Jr. “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind“ ~ Gandhi All beings are equal in both their desire for happiness, and their right to obtain it. ~Dalai Lama For Israel to start bombing Gaza now seems not totally in line with what these people thought and talked about. Last of all to really dig into one's identity creates a lot of separation between you and the rest of the world. It puts you beneath or above but rarely on an equal level with other people. It is a form of tribalism that I think humanity would do good to transcend. To see all of humanity as a collective. I shared this from my own limited and probably horribly ignorant viewpoint but I just find it so sad to see by brothers and sisters in the middle east inflict more suffering and trauma upon each other and so perpetuating the cycle. I think it would be better to seek healing for all parties and try to establish harmony instead. I wish everyone there compassion and wisdom and may we find the skillful means to establish healing, harmony and peace both within ourselves and into the outside world.

[@bethgriesauer3825]

May I suggest not basing your entire viewpoint of the Israeli/Palestinian situation on a biased video? Go to Israel and the West Bank yourself, if possible, and see it through your own eyes. You'd be surprised at how daily life there is much more peaceful and mundane (obviously not now during the war) than what you see on the news.

[@shaulkramer7425]

I second the previous comment from Beth... Don't base your understanding of the issues at play based on AJ+ videos alone.

[@alig064]

Israel didn't have anything to do with the West Bank at all initially. It was controlled by Jordan for the same time Gaza was controlled by Egypt. Even if the 1947 opportunity for peace was missed by them, there were all the years between 1948 until 1967 which could be used to build a state for the West Bank palestinian arabs. Instead of working for peace, the militant movement said "no , we're conquering the whole land of Israel" and over the years the conflict was escalating over and over each time the conflict becoming worse and worse. Why do you think Israel had to separate itself from the west bank with checkpoints and walls? The reason is constant terror attacks on israeli civilians. Same goes for Gaza. Our parents and the arabs who were living besides them were much more peaceful than before. But as the latin saying says "abyssus abyssum invocat". Violence causes violence. The attitude needs to change. We all are here and none of us is going anywhere. Each of us has generations upon generations born in the holy land. Some only a few generations and some families from both sides been living here for very long time before the british. We'll have to find a solution and it is not impossible. Proof for it is that there are 2 million arab israelis living peacefully together with us jews enjoying equal rights and all freedoms every israeli has. So how are israeli arabs are different from palestinian arabs? Polarizing the conflict is easy and each side can find their own arguments but that is not helping us reaching a solution with which we can live in peace.

[@douwebeerda]

@@alig064 Yeah have you seen the movie Tantura that came out in 2022. It's about Israeli soldiers talking about the Nakba and how they forced a lot of Palestinian people of their lands... Also even today Israel is building settlements on the West Bank. Which is in breach with international law. I feel Israeli people have made up their own version of history but there are lot's of even Jewish Historians and soldiers that seem to speak the truth about what really happened but just because it is difficult to hear a lot of people seem to ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. It makes conversations very strange. I think as long as people are denying what actually happened you have one set of people gaslighting the others. First I think Israel needs to admit what they did, then have an open talk about it with all parties involved and then find harmonious solutions. Nelson Mandela and South Africa created some model that could be used maybe.

Praying for you to stay safe Rudy. I would like to respond to the comment 'Christians feel the loss of the death of Jesus, they blame it on the Jews'. This has never been my experience of any of the Christians I know, and I know countless Christians. I am a Christian and myself as well as my family. We have a love for the Jews because God chose their bloodline for Jesus to be born into. Jesus was a Jew and it was his purpose to die whoever decided it. He was handed over to the Romans who comfirmed that fate. It was humankind who decided to crucify him and it was predestined and prophesied in the Old Testament. True Christians know the importance of the Jewish people in history and God's plan for them. In the bible it is prophised that the state of Israel will be reformed so true Christians are in support of their mission for it to withstand. 5 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Babylonians. 6 My eyes will watch over them for their good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them. 7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.

[@ruth4019]

True Christians should not support Jews who call Jesus Christ a false prophet, illegitimate child and call Christianity paganism and idolatry. Matthew 13:58 King James Version And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. John 17:9 King James Version I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. Jeremiah 14:11-12 King James Version 11 Then said the Lord unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. 12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

I wonder what about the possibility of israel removing Hamas installing a temporary Israeli government charged with the task to establish and secure an independent Palestinian state.

We did that already. We disengaged in 2005, handed them a beautifully built up strip of beachfront property and they held elections, kicked the PA out, then Fatah, and democratically elected their government. Ham as. And if they had the chance now, they would do it again!🙄 Oh, and btw, they destroyed everything they were given almost immediately. They dug up the desalination plants and used the pipes for their bombs, then kept digging out the tunnels. Israel invented desalination (and drip irrigation and many other things), and while it is very expensive, they were given the set up and the instructions and a way to have clean drinking water, water for crops, etc. And what did they do.... When their charter statement doesn't recognize the State of Israel, and they want the river to the sea with NO JEWS so they will be free.... how can they even be neighbors??
