Transcript [00:00] I literally had to flee my country [00:03] >> [music] [00:03] >> because they came for me. They knew [00:06] everything about me. They knew where I [00:08] lived. They knew [music] my family [00:09] members. They had mapped out my entire [00:12] life. [00:13] >> You showed me photographs [00:14] >> Yep. [00:15] >> of people mapping out your home. [00:17] >> Yep. And it was only a matter of time [00:19] before my life was in danger. I had to [00:21] up and leave. [00:24] >> Shalom and Shana Tova and thank you for [00:26] joining me here again. Unlike my [00:28] previous shows, I'm not going to do a [00:30] monologue right now, but get into the [00:32] events of the past week um by addressing [00:35] it with the way I think it should be. [00:37] And I'm basically talking about this uh [00:39] miserable film that won the uh the best [00:43] anti-Jewish film award. They don't call [00:45] it that way because uh they're still not [00:47] comfortable with that, but that's [00:49] basically what it was in Venice, this uh [00:52] despicable film called Naza, which is [00:54] basically a way to degrade Jews and [00:58] Israel. But it's also the always also an [01:00] excuse, Israel, because they Of course [01:02] they're not against Jews, they're just [01:03] against Israel. But the thing is that [01:07] that's a battlefield that Israel's is [01:09] is in at the moment. And it's a very [01:11] important one because that's where our [01:13] enemies believe that they can undermine [01:15] the state of Israel. They can't beat us [01:17] on the battlefield. So you they use what [01:19] we call public diplomacy. I hate the [01:22] word hasbara cuz we're the only people [01:24] hasbara in Hebrew is explaining. We're [01:26] the only people who feel we have to [01:27] explain ourselves. No, this is the [01:29] cognitive warfare. This is the battle, [01:31] the psychological warfare where they're [01:33] trying to to get the world against [01:35] Israel. And the way to battle that is [01:37] once again, our younger generation, our [01:40] greatest generation, which is the young [01:42] people who stand up for Israel and for [01:44] the Jewish people around the world. And [01:46] who better than one of the best people [01:48] on that battlefield, Jess or Jewish [01:50] Jess, Jess the Jew. That's her official [01:53] >> I have more than two names nowadays. [01:55] >> Oh, you have more names than that? [01:56] >> I've adopted a new one. [01:58] >> Which is your new one? [01:59] >> Well, now if I'm writing an article, I'm [02:01] Jessica Grace. [02:03] >> Oh, Jessica Grace. [02:04] >> name. [02:04] >> Yeah. [02:05] >> Cuz people can't know my surname because [02:06] people want to kill me. [02:08] >> Literally? [02:09] >> Literally want to kill me because of my [02:11] advocacy, we go by my middle name now. [02:13] But mostly Jewish Jess. [02:15] >> You know, I didn't want to get into [02:16] that, but I wanted but since you [02:18] mentioned it now, just so people [02:20] understand, you were advocating for [02:22] Israel in England. [02:24] >> Yes. [02:24] >> And they came for you. Cuz like I said, [02:26] this is a battlefield here. You [02:27] literally saw that. [02:29] >> I literally had to flee my country [02:32] because they came for me. They knew [02:35] everything about me. They knew where I [02:37] lived. They knew my family members. They [02:40] had mapped out my entire life, and it [02:42] was only a matter of time before my life [02:44] was in danger. So I I had to up and [02:46] leave. [02:47] >> And just so people understand, this is [02:48] not an exaggeration of a situation. You [02:51] again, literally showed me photographs [02:54] of people mapping out your home. [02:56] >> Yeah. [02:56] >> And that's gave you the idea that you [02:58] just have to get your butt out of there [03:00] and to the land of Israel. Yeah. [03:01] >> Yeah. [03:02] >> It's amazing. Every generation, and [03:04] we're still dealing with the same stuff. [03:06] But you're also working, and that's one [03:07] of the things I wanted to bring you on [03:09] today. You're also I interviewed you [03:10] before at the JNS conference, and we [03:12] were talking then about how Netanyahu [03:14] said that we have to stand up for [03:15] Israel. [03:16] But here, there's one thing saying about [03:19] that, but it's a whole different thing [03:20] doing it in real life. And you're [03:22] working with Frontline Advocates [03:25] who stand up for the state of Israel. [03:27] Explain a little about the organization, [03:29] and then we'll get to what you were [03:30] involved with in the past few weeks. [03:32] >> Absolutely. So, Frontline Advocates is [03:35] an advocacy group through and through. [03:37] Their motto is from defense to offense. [03:40] So, we've moved away from hasbara. We're [03:42] not doing that anymore. We're Akim we're [03:43] fighting. [03:44] >> Mhm. [03:44] >> Uh we are a group of everyone in the in [03:48] the organization is ex-IDF. I do not [03:50] have that claim, that honor. I'm the [03:52] only one they've taken on without that [03:54] badge. [03:55] The Jewish Defense League is [03:57] >> Exactly. I was fighting on my own [03:58] battleground. That's the separate story, [04:00] but [04:01] the it's made up of incredible [04:03] individuals who have all been in Gaza, [04:05] fought in wars, lost [04:08] like friends, family, lost limbs. These [04:10] are like heroes from Israel and they are [04:13] now taking their personal stories to the [04:16] front line. So, we go through a [04:18] significant amount of training in [04:20] collaboration with the Ministry of [04:21] Foreign Affairs and then we are sent on [04:24] delegations around the world. And it is [04:26] the most incredible organization. The [04:28] two owners, Stav and Itai, are both [04:31] ex-special forces, both have their own [04:33] incredible stories and they thought that [04:36] this organization was essential given [04:39] that [04:40] there is no one fighting on the offense. [04:42] We we have been defensive for so long [04:44] and they both came together and said [04:46] enough's enough. We need to actually go [04:48] and fight the belly of the beast. We [04:50] need to go onto university campuses [04:52] where they hate us. We need to be at [04:55] Columbia. We need to be in NYU. We need [04:57] to be at Harvard and where all these [04:59] pro-Palestinian student nutcases are [05:01] congregating, we need to be in the [05:03] middle of those people. We need to be in [05:05] the middle, surrounded, and we need to [05:07] fight. [05:08] >> It's amazing you say that cuz my first [05:10] job working with the government, I was [05:11] the same age that these guys are and you [05:14] are, a little younger even. At 22, I [05:16] worked at the consulate in New York and [05:17] I worked on academic affairs. This was [05:19] back in 1983-84. [05:22] For 6 years I worked there on academic [05:24] affairs and American academia. And [05:26] there's when we first began seeing this [05:28] investment, the financial investment. [05:31] Now, [05:31] I'll pause for a moment and go back to [05:33] you said before that you're working with [05:34] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. So, we [05:36] all hear about, oh, the $7,000 or [05:38] shekels, whatever it is that supposedly [05:40] Israel It's nonsense. Nobody pays that [05:42] kind of money. You don't get that kind [05:44] of money at all. But, that's what they [05:46] accuse Jews of doing when all these [05:48] billions of dollars going into academia [05:51] and going into the media and going into [05:52] places [05:53] I first saw that back in the '80s. So, [05:56] there was no genocide. There was but [05:58] they were already beginning back then. [05:59] And now we're seeing this 40 years later [06:02] and you're dealing with this a whole [06:03] generation that wasn't even born back [06:04] then. You're having to deal with the [06:06] consequences of this and it has nothing [06:08] to do with the war. This is just their [06:10] way of engaging Israel and trying to [06:12] undermine Israel. So, you're in the you [06:15] >> You went there. You were just recently [06:16] in the States and [06:18] >> Wow. [06:19] I've just got back from a week. We did [06:22] New York and then we went on to a much [06:24] nicer much friendlier Hamptons which was [06:26] fantastic. It was a great way to end the [06:28] week. We [06:30] really did go to the as I said like the [06:33] belly of the beast. We started at where [06:36] did we go first? [06:37] >> Were you in Washington Square? [06:38] >> Yes. [06:38] >> Okay, I saw that cuz I was following [06:40] your videos. [06:41] >> That was fun. We were in we did [06:43] Washington Square Park. [06:44] >> Mhm. [06:44] >> We did NYU. We did Columbia. We did CUNY [06:49] the law school. [06:50] >> Yeah. [06:51] >> We set up tables wherever we could. We [06:53] didn't ask permission. We just went. [06:56] Normally you would have to seek [06:57] permission from the universities. We're [06:58] not about that. We're about getting in [07:00] there regardless of whether they want us [07:02] there or not. Free speech. First [07:04] Amendment. We were there. [07:06] >> And you set up a table? [07:07] >> We set up a table. [07:08] >> Materials? [07:08] >> The only materials a big fat sign that [07:11] says we were in the IDF. We fought in [07:14] Gaza. Ask us anything. It's like the [07:16] most provocative sign. [07:18] >> It's amazing that you what's provocative [07:21] about it but it actually is. [07:23] >> that's provocative. We did have a a few [07:25] signs that we added along the way like [07:26] there are no gays in Gaza. Ask us why. [07:29] That one didn't go down very well. [07:30] >> Really? You would expect them to come [07:32] and ask why and [07:33] >> No, no. They think we're propagandists. [07:35] They see the Israeli flag and they're [07:37] like propagandists. [07:38] >> This was how [07:40] you sat there. [07:41] >> Yes. [07:41] >> Now, I lived in Manhattan for 6 years. [07:44] Love Manhattan. [07:45] You hear things, but you come and it's [07:47] not the way people describe it. [07:49] I haven't been [07:51] back since the war [07:53] in Manhattan. [07:55] What is happening there? When you came [07:57] and set that up, was there hostility? [07:59] Was there violence? [08:01] >> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Straight away. The [08:05] minute we set up our table, the minute [08:07] they saw an Israeli flag, we were [08:09] It was like they were flocking to us. We [08:11] didn't even need to try. I I think a lot [08:13] of organizations try and coax people [08:16] over to your table. They want you to [08:17] come and talk. We didn't even have to. [08:19] You put up an Israeli flag, they come to [08:21] you. It's like moths to a flame. [08:23] >> Muslims or [08:24] >> No. Uh We did have We did have [08:27] >> uh your your fair share of hostile [08:29] Muslims, unfortunately. But we also had [08:31] your average white leftist college [08:33] student with a kaffiyeh. We had We saw [08:35] it all. We had professors of [08:38] universities coming to talk to us. It [08:40] was [08:41] >> Did they come to talk or did they come [08:42] to be violent? [08:43] >> [laughter] [08:43] >> They didn't come to be violent. The ones [08:45] who were violent were the the leftists, [08:47] actually. They were the worst. Um but [08:50] no. [08:50] >> You saw that one video where this guy [08:52] came and [08:53] >> Chris [08:54] >> like had a mental breakdown. [08:56] >> He was He's uh an interesting character. [08:58] He was on one of the freedom flotillas [09:00] to Gaza. [09:01] >> Oh, that's right. I saw that on the [09:02] >> He's like a makeshift uh He was a [09:04] rapper. Obviously did not make much of a [09:07] career of himself and decided to become [09:09] this crazy kaffiyeh-clad activist and [09:12] got on a flotilla. And the reason that [09:15] he was so violent was because I was [09:16] provoking him. I was I I can't help it. [09:19] He was standing in front of us saying, [09:20] "I was on a flotilla." And I said, "Oh, [09:22] Fab, did you have fun? How many condoms [09:24] did you take with you? Um what music [09:27] were you listening to?" Cuz that's all [09:28] it was. It was a party boat. I was [09:29] prodding, prodding, prodding. And he was [09:31] not happy. And every time I would ask [09:33] him, [09:35] "Were you having fun?" He wasn't there [09:36] to engage in good faith. He didn't want [09:38] to ask us any questions about Israel. [09:39] So, I thought I might as well have fun [09:41] with him, you know? I might as well [09:42] enjoy this. And eventually, it got to [09:44] the point where he smashed up our whole [09:46] table. He kept he he lunged as if he was [09:48] going to attack me. [09:50] Even when he was lunging to attack me, I [09:52] was going, "Do you feel brave? Do you [09:53] feel like a strong big man? Right? Is [09:55] this you know, is this how you treat [09:56] your girlfriend?" [09:57] >> Were there women around? [09:59] >> Yes, his girlfriend was there. [10:01] >> Oh, that's right. I saw that. [10:02] >> He pushed her they did [10:04] >> Did they not You know, you're a woman. [10:06] He's assaulting you. They're all for [10:08] women's rights. It's all limited. It's [10:11] all depends. [10:12] >> It's It depends on the context. [10:14] >> I [10:14] >> It's the same thing. Listen, he was he [10:16] was one of the bad ones, but we had a [10:18] few. [10:19] >> Really? [10:19] >> The if if we didn't have we had [10:21] security. We always have security. If we [10:23] didn't have security, we would have been [10:25] attacked. We would have been [10:27] >> And YPD, did they [10:28] >> No, they do nothing. We We called them [10:30] on three occasions. They came, they [10:32] looked, they said, "Oh, no, you're fine. [10:35] Just keep it calm." We can't keep it [10:36] calm. We're calm. It's the It's them who [10:38] are not calm. [10:40] >> Sounds like police in Riyadh, Saudi [10:43] Arabia. [10:43] >> I I think in Riyadh, they have more [10:45] control over the population than they [10:47] did in New York. [10:48] >> Absolutely. They wouldn't let these kind [10:50] of demonstrations happen because they [10:51] know exactly who they're dealing with, [10:52] unlike New York City. [10:54] Ah. [10:55] >> Exactly, they did nothing. They would [10:57] stand and watch us, and then it was [10:59] almost like we were the ones who were [11:01] being violent because we were the [11:02] provocateurs. [11:03] >> Of course. [11:04] >> Even though we were sat there with a [11:05] table with a sign that said, "Ask us [11:06] anything" with smiley faces and a peace [11:08] sign. [11:09] >> Did people were there those who engaged [11:10] with you? [11:11] >> Yes, we had some amazing conversations. [11:14] We had some with Jewish students who [11:17] were walking around with their Magen [11:18] David inside their t-shirts, and they'd [11:20] come up to us, and they'd show us their [11:21] necklace, and they'd say, "Thank you for [11:23] being here. You're making me feel safer [11:25] on campus." And that's why we do what we [11:27] do. That's why we're doing it. We're not [11:29] doing it for [11:31] obviously the clips and the the views [11:33] that we get and being posted on Al [11:35] Jazeera and being posted on I on [11:37] Palestine. It's great. It's great [11:38] optics. But ultimately, the reason that [11:40] we're doing what we do is so that we can [11:43] make the Jewish community worldwide one, [11:46] feel like they're represented, which [11:48] they are, and two, feel safer in New [11:51] York, in Colombia, in [11:53] we're going on a delegation to [11:54] California soon. Like in California, the [11:56] Jews on campus, they need to know that [11:58] they have representation and that they [12:00] can be proudly Jewish, let alone proudly [12:03] Israeli, and do it with a smile on their [12:06] face and be brave. [12:07] >> That's amazing you say that. And I [12:08] remember my one of my first public [12:10] appearances back when I was 22, 23 [12:14] was at NYU. I came as a representative [12:16] of the consulate because I was at age, [12:18] and I had been a paratrooper in the [12:20] Lebanon war. So I was speaking about [12:22] that. And [12:23] >> [clears throat] [12:23] >> there wasn't that There were Arab [12:25] students in there, but it was a very [12:27] respectful [12:28] challenging uh conversation, but people [12:31] wanted to know. And so in 40 years, [12:34] things have deteriorated to the point [12:36] where you can't even have a serious [12:37] conversation. [12:38] >> No. And it got to the point in our [12:40] delegation where we thought, these [12:43] people don't want to talk to us. They [12:44] They just don't want to talk to us. But [12:46] it got to the point where they knew [12:47] where we were. We were being posted on [12:49] all of the Palestinian networks, and [12:51] people were not engaging with us. It got [12:53] to a point where they just stopped. And [12:55] then we said, okay, well, what can we [12:56] do? What can we do to flip this on its [12:59] head? So we bought kaffiyehs. [13:01] >> That's right. [13:02] >> We bought kaffiyehs. Two of us [13:04] Two of our delegation bought kaffiyehs, [13:06] wrapped themselves up, and decided to [13:08] cosplay as Palestinians. In fact, they [13:10] cos played as Hamas. They would say, we [13:13] are Hamas. And what they would do is [13:14] they would come up to our tables and [13:16] they would scream at us. And it would [13:17] cause a lot of people to start watching. [13:20] And then you'd get all the [13:21] pro-Palestinians coming and getting [13:22] involved in the conversation because [13:24] they were like enjoying the the rivalry [13:27] and then and eventually we were having [13:30] great conversations at the table with [13:32] the people that they'd coaxed over. And [13:34] the kafir-clad guys, our team, went out [13:37] and started speaking to the crowd. And [13:39] when they were speaking to the crowd, [13:41] they were saying, "We're Hamas. This is [13:42] what we did on October the 7th." They [13:43] were showing videos. And [13:45] pro-Palestinians were enjoy were [13:48] We expected a bit of pushback. We got no [13:50] pushback. [13:51] >> They were shocked. [13:52] >> No, they weren't shocked. [13:53] >> By the images? [13:54] >> They weren't shocked by the images. They [13:55] were like, "Wow, you're resistance [13:57] fighters." [13:58] >> They actually because when I saw this [14:00] video, I had the assumption that people [14:02] >> We had one guy. We had one guy in a [14:04] kafir. [14:05] Uh Stav, one of our uh he our CEO, [14:09] incredible. He found a guy with a kafir [14:11] and he's and he showed him videos of [14:13] sexual violence on October the 7th. And [14:16] the guy in the kafir went mental. He [14:18] said, "I support the resistance, but [14:20] you're rapist." Like screaming at him. [14:24] And we called the police because it got [14:26] very heated. [14:27] >> He was screaming [14:28] >> He was screaming at Stav, the freedom [14:31] fighter. "You're a rapist. You're [14:33] disgusting." [14:34] >> still hope. [14:35] >> There's still hope. However, he did say, [14:37] "I support the resistance." He was still [14:38] very much [14:39] >> that they have that Well, the [14:42] guy who was on the flotilla, he should [14:44] have been aware of that because quite a [14:46] few of those people on the flotillas [14:48] um [14:49] yeah. Aren't who they appear to be, but [14:51] we'll just leave it at that. [14:52] >> Yeah. [14:52] >> Because Jews control everything. [14:54] >> But we had a whole assortment. We had an [14:56] as-a-Jew Jew, a pro-Palestine Jew. He [15:00] was saying [15:00] >> As-a-Jew as I like to call him. [15:01] >> As-a-Jew, yeah. He's the worst as-a-Jew [15:04] I've ever come across. [15:05] >> Worst they are. [15:06] >> And he was speaking to Stav as if Stav [15:09] was a Hamas fighter. [15:11] And he was I support the resistance in [15:14] my own way, but you know, I'm Jewish and [15:16] I've got Hebrew on my arm to tell [15:17] everyone that I'm Jewish, but but I [15:19] support the resistance. Terrible human [15:21] being. [15:23] >> Hopefully he doesn't have a number from [15:24] Auschwitz on his arm. [15:25] >> Exactly. Exactly. And he's since made 13 [15:28] videos about us. [15:29] >> Yeah, he's getting nice publicity. [15:31] >> It's been great. [15:32] >> Yeah. [15:32] >> It's been I mean it it was at a time [15:35] >> you found this guy to help give you [15:37] publicity and that's how that's that's [15:39] very [15:40] >> giving him publicity. [15:40] >> Yeah, that's how the Mossad works. [15:42] >> Yep. [15:43] >> [laughter] [15:44] >> Exactly. But [15:45] >> be very suspicious of him if I were on [15:47] their side. [15:47] >> If he ever tries to come to Israel, I [15:49] don't think he'll have much luck getting [15:51] through the border. [15:51] >> Oh, listen. We have so many of these [15:53] people here in Israel. We I mentioned [15:55] the film before. They were they were [15:56] Israelis. So we have our fair share of [15:58] imbeciles and retards here. So [16:00] >> True. Very true. [16:02] >> Um let's go back for a moment to the [16:04] preparation for this. You said you were [16:06] doing it for with the foreign ministry. [16:07] Now when I worked with the Ministry of [16:09] Public Diplomacy and with the Prime [16:11] Minister's office, I'm talking about 13 [16:13] years now ago, we first started using [16:15] social media. And then around that time [16:17] I saw that government should stop being [16:18] at the forefront. Government should [16:20] stick take a step back. [16:22] And because people want to know about [16:23] personal stories. They want to know [16:25] about people, not some government [16:27] official as I was back then, coming [16:29] around and giving them the information [16:30] with self-importance. [16:32] Public, and I'm saying this [snorts] not [16:34] only because of you, but any one of the [16:36] our viewers should know your knowledge, [16:38] your your experience with Israel, that's [16:40] more important than any of the again, [16:43] the facts as we you saw from what you [16:46] experienced, people don't care about the [16:47] facts. But they can't argue with what [16:50] you've experienced. So back then I said [16:52] government should take a step back and [16:54] help the public learn how to go out and [16:55] do this. So they trained you not on what [16:57] to say, but how to get the the message [17:00] of what you're what Israel's about to [17:02] people. So what do you what kind of [17:04] training did you have? [17:05] >> So we had 6 weeks of intensive training [17:08] at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We [17:11] had [17:12] anything you could possibly imagine that [17:13] would come up in debate, we covered. So [17:15] we had sessions on Christianity and the [17:17] different sects of Christianity. We had [17:20] the same with Islam. We had the same [17:21] with Judaism. We learned about Judaism. [17:24] We learned about how to debate. We [17:25] learned about the UN. We learned about [17:28] the political sphere in Israel, the [17:29] political sphere in the US, in the UK. [17:32] We covered all bases. [17:35] But, my favorite part of the the entire [17:37] training was the part where we spoke [17:40] about our personal stories because that [17:41] was a big thing for Frontline. It's [17:44] we're bringing your stories to the front [17:46] line. Everyone in the organization, [17:49] there's now 45 speakers. Everyone has a [17:52] story. [17:53] >> All right. [17:54] >> They interview candidates on the basis [17:56] of their stories, not on the basis of [17:58] their credentials or how many followers [18:00] you have. It's what you bring to the [18:02] table and what you've experienced. And [18:04] we had a whole week of training on our [18:07] stories, the psychology of our stories. [18:09] We worked with a therapist. We worked [18:11] with a psychiatrist about how can we [18:14] best portray what we've experienced to [18:17] the rest of the world because ultimately [18:20] human connection is far more valuable [18:22] than knowing about the geopolitical [18:24] sphere of of the world. No one cares. No [18:26] one wants to listen. So, we were [18:30] I mean, I went into the training knowing [18:31] a lot. I was very grateful. But, I came [18:33] out with that training knowing more [18:35] about myself than anything else. And it [18:37] was incredible, incredible. [18:40] >> So, you said you're you're going to Los [18:42] Angeles soon. [18:43] >> We're going everywhere. [18:45] >> Everywhere. When are you leaving here? [18:47] >> So, I am on I'm currently in talks to [18:51] join a delegation on October the 4th, [18:53] which is very soon. That will be to New [18:55] York, Pennsylvania, [18:58] Washington, ending in Boston. [19:01] So, that's a long one. [19:02] I'm then I'm going to Texas in about 3 [19:05] weeks. So, that's going to be very fun. [19:08] >> And then I have another delegation in [19:10] November to Where am I going for that [19:13] one? Going everywhere. To [19:16] To Chicago, Ohio, and Colorado. [19:19] We have another delegation that I'm not [19:20] part of going to California. Um I can't [19:23] do all of them. [19:25] >> Of course. [19:25] >> We've got another delegation on October [19:27] the 7th to Canada, which is going to be [19:29] hostile. [19:30] >> Yeah. [19:31] >> Very. And uh we've got another six [19:34] delegations before the end of the year. [19:36] So, the organization is busy. [19:39] They are planning delegations. Their [19:41] intention, their goal is two a month [19:43] every month. [19:44] >> Oh. [19:44] >> Which is why we have so many speakers, [19:46] and it's why our next training is in 3 [19:48] weeks' time. [19:49] And we are training another 40 speakers. [19:53] And then we have another training in [19:55] December, which will be training another [19:57] 40 speakers. So, we're going to be a [19:58] network of 150 speakers by December. [20:02] >> So, that's uh where you're going to, but [20:04] I want to end this and we're in the [20:05] holiday season, the new year, and in [20:07] Israel, um your message to the Jewish [20:10] people right now in this period that is [20:12] very difficult for all of us, but from [20:14] what you've seen, what you've [20:15] experienced over the past 3 years, what [20:17] message can we end this conversation [20:19] with? [20:20] >> My message is one [20:22] of hope and of resilience. I think that [20:25] there are good people in this world. A [20:27] lot of the people that we hear and that [20:29] we fear are the very vocal minority, and [20:34] you see that when we go to these [20:35] universities and you see 100 people [20:37] watching us, but only three people [20:39] engaging in conversation, you realize [20:41] that not everyone hates us. They just [20:44] might not necessarily feel brave enough [20:46] to get involved in the conversation, and [20:48] that's okay. That's fine. I want you to [20:50] know that [20:52] we are on the front lines for a reason, [20:54] because we feel strong enough and [20:57] courageous enough to do so, and we're [20:58] doing that for you. We're doing that for [21:01] the Jewish people globally. So, rest [21:03] assured that you have got a group of [21:05] loud-mouthed, proud Israeli Jews who are [21:09] fighting on the front lines and fighting [21:11] your corner [21:13] as much as we possibly can and in as [21:15] many places as we possibly can. So, have [21:18] a bit of faith, give us a bit of time [21:20] and um hopefully we can change the [21:23] narrative. I think we're already doing [21:25] an amazing job. I think we've got a lot [21:26] to give. We have big plans, big [21:28] intentions, and we want to shift the [21:31] narrative not for us, not for Israel, [21:34] for the Jewish community around the [21:36] world so that you guys can feel safer [21:38] and in you guys feeling safer will feel [21:40] more content. So, we're working for you. [21:43] >> Fantastic, Jess. The Jewish Jess, Jess [21:46] the Jew. [21:46] >> Jessica Grace. [21:48] >> [laughter] [21:49] >> All these different names. Thank you for [21:51] everything you're doing. [21:52] >> Thank you. [21:52] >> Shanah tovah. Hatimah tovah. Hatimah [21:54] tovah to all of you. Daniel Seeman here [21:57] on Straight Up. Thank you for joining me [21:59] today and I'll be with you again next [22:00] week after Yom Kippur. [22:03] Have a wonderful holiday season.
