00:00Well, again, there's a lot to return to there.

00:03I suppose the first point I would make is about,

00:06Cenk often has said that Israel is against Muslims.

00:11It's against the Muslim world,

00:12won't allow any other Muslim country to defend itself.

00:15I think it's worth bearing in mind

00:17that there are Muslim soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces.

00:20For example, Captain Ella, who is a very famous,

00:22the highest ranking female Muslim soldier in the IDF.

00:25Muslims were killed on October the 7th by Hamas.

00:29Muslims put their lives on the line

00:31to rescue their Jewish compatriots in Israel

00:33on October the 7th and support them afterwards.

00:36And Muslims have spoken out on behalf of their Jewish compatriots

00:39in the Knesset, in the Israeli parliament.

00:41This isn't a country that's against Muslims.

00:43It has Muslims, very patriotic Muslims,

00:46fighting for Israel, representing Israel proudly.

00:48And I'm proud of them.

00:48Not that I'm Israeli, but just on behalf of Jews, I suppose.

00:52Israel is not against Muslims

00:53and isn't against other Muslim countries.

00:55It has alliances, for example, with the United Arab Emirates

00:57and with other key Muslim countries.

01:00It hasn't bombed any Muslim country

01:02unless they've attacked Israel or menaced Israel

01:04or been building up to attack Israel.

01:07The only reason Israel attacks is in self-defense.

01:09And that's very clear and historic,

01:11and it's a matter of fact.

01:13And so this idea that Israel is against Muslims

01:15is totally untrue.
