Yes

How is it looking out there?

Well, it's, uh, pretty much demolished as you could, uh,

as

you can see.

Uh,

75% of the whole territory, we, we are already there.

You know what I mean?

So no more Palestinians over there?

No, you have Palestinians there. You have, but, uh, what do you

call it? Uh,

Ah, okay. So when will the job be finished?

The Moshiach might come and the job is not finished.

But Hamas is done.

So the job is not finished.

Hamas is done. They are, they are finished.

No, they're not finished.

They're not. Iran, Iran is finished. Hezbollah finished.

Hamas finished.

Listen, we, we crippled, we crippled them, but they're not finished.

We crippled them.

you know, but it's not finished yet.

Mm.

You know what I mean?

What is left on the checklist?

What is life over here?

What is left, left for the checklist for to finish?

What's left?

Well,

what is left is that you have to get rid of the Hamas.

I mean, you still have, uh, Hamas, uh, controlling, uh,

the-

Some of the schools and the, the hospitals and the-

Yeah

Wow. Wow, wow.

Over-

Yeah. They're, they're hiding the kids in there, in the-

That's right. That's right. Where, where in Los Angeles are you from?

Say it again.

Where in Los Angeles do you live?

Uh, Hollywood area. Hollywood. We have, uh-

Hollywood area?

We have big synagogue in Beverly Hills.

I used to live, I used to live in Valley Village.

You know Valley Village?

It is north, uh, north, in the valley.

Yes.

Correct.

I used to live over there.

Why... And why did you, uh, go back to Israel?

Why did you make a-

That's my home

You made Aliyah, huh?

I made Aliyah, yes. I mean, uh, I, I was born here

in Israel. I was born here, but I was, uh, uh, uh, when I c- I

came to America when I was like seven years old.

You know what I mean?

But you're having, you're having the American accent,

so I'm thinking you are, you

are born in American.

No, no, no. I, I, I was born in America.

No, I was born in Israel, and I, and I lived in America for a very long

time, and I came back to Israel when I, um, 10 years ago.

Wow.

I came back.

We hope you come-

Yeah

... back very safely to America. Very safely.

But-

Amen

... only after you finish the job. You have to go harder.

You have to go a little bit harder, right?

At, at the-

It's not up to me

... at the end of the day, the kids, they will grow up and they will be Hamas,

so

we have to

just remove everybody.

I'm with you. I'm with you. But, uh, there, there are leaders

bigger than me, and I can't do whatever I want.

This is why we have to, uh, improve the leadership.

They are too, a little bit too, uh, conservative.

We need them to be hard, hard, hard, right?

The kid, maybe now-

God willing

... this is a kid, he is five years old, but we're not seeing him as human, right?

He's just...

Yeah, still-

That's right

Yeah.

Well, it's good to see you.

Good to see you
