Youth Engagement in Political Discourse

What do you think young people here, people who come to hear you, people who see you

outside these places, should do?

Because in the end,

all the things that oppose what you're saying, like religion and violence, they

sell. They sell better. Religion really sells better than you do.

And violence sells better than you do. It's very nice to grandstand about the death penalty for terrorists, and that sells in the end.

עונש מוות למחבלים וזה בסוף זה מוכר.

What should we, who meet young people, we who influence people,

even beyond the people we know, what should we do?

What actions can influence a large number of people and change the outcome of the election?

Convince them, talk to them.

To whom?

To your friends,

your neighbors, your relatives.

Twenty people.

And how many people are in the room now? Fifty? So how many have we reached already?

And when they talk, that's how it works. I understand, I'm not

naive. I mean, I come with a camera crew, and I have eight hundred

thousand followers.

A video like this gets watched— I understand. Now, besides the question of how

I can help in a practical way, how can I

make an impact? You're telling me something else.

They

sell very effective lies,

very effective.

The death penalty for terrorists will solve all the security problems here.

Jewish Power will show the Middle East who's in charge.

And God is on our side, so we'll show them, and we're only

one link in the chain of generations. So now we're suffering.

But in the next world, right,

lies that work very well. You can turn on Channel 14

for 20 minutes whenever you want during the day and suddenly you'll feel what it means to be

strong and right. But guess what? Afterwards,

you can open a window and see reality, and that's what you

need to tell your friends, your family, your neighbors.

Reality.

Reality. You can lie on Channel 14 from morning till

night. You can sell whatever lies you want

about individual providence and supreme providence.

We were in shelters and under rocket sirens

and at war, and our parents were in the reserves,

and Israelis were massacred in their beds, at a party

And then they were killed in a terrible war.

And they promised us we'd already eliminated the nuclear threat

from Iran. But eight months later, we went to war again

with them.

And by the end of this second war, even the United States was no longer

by our side, and there was still enriched uranium,

ballistic missiles, and the same regime ruling Iran,

like Hamas in Gaza, like Hezbollah in Lebanon.

So what if Yinon Magal lies? Reality exists. So what

if Netanyahu lies? Reality exists. So what if Chabad followers or

ultra-Orthodox rabbis or politicians go around lying to children?

Reality exists.

But they still have the fifty-something seats they have.

That's not a small number in light of what you've described about the past three years.

And that's why I leave the house day after day, day after day,

to do what I do. Listen,

your concern is justified, your fear is justified. I'm not

selling you lies.

I'm here because I share your concern. You ask me how

you can help. You ask me what I can

say in the face of such lies

Magicians, so effective.

And that's what I say to you. Speak, persuade, fight.

Stand up and be counted. Fight for your worldview.

It's worth fighting for. Fight for your country.

It's worth fighting for.

And you're asking me what to say.

Today, it's relatively easy.

We're entering this election after three and a half years, it'll already be

four years of very difficult lives,

without security, without school, without stability.

Not only did you experience this, but also people around you who today, mistakenly,

believe Yinon Magal or Bibi Netanyahu or Aryeh

Deri.

Talk to them before despair, before giving up.

It's worth trying to persuade them.

Absolutely.

Talk to them.
