Will Support for Israel Fall Away? · The Slippery Slope

• 0:12
  change. I've spoken several times about
• 0:15
  weak leadership. Now the need, the necessity for
• 0:20
  for good leadership, for strong leadership.
• 0:23
  Leadership that stands on, I believe, on biblical principles.
• 0:28
  Leadership that well, if you are a leader, you will have a sense
• 0:34
  of purpose. You will have your direction
• 0:38
  where your moral compass will take you and you will be able to
• 0:44
  to lead people. You'll know.
• 0:45
  You'll know what you stand for and you won't be afraid to To
• 0:48
  stand up and proclaim this is what I stand for.
• 0:51
  This is who I am. And you know, I I cannot just.
• 0:57
  Not just say this is who I am and this is what I stand for,
• 1:00
  but I can back it up and I can explain it to you and I can
• 1:05
  explain why I believe this is the way this is the right way.
• 1:10
  A good leader isn't just doesn't just manage situations here in
• 1:16
  Australia at the moment. I think it's worldwide, really.
• 1:19
  It's a it's a global crisis of sorts when it comes to
• 1:23
  leadership. You know, we we have all these
• 1:26
  woke leaders, these people from the the left side of politics,
• 1:30
  the extreme left, the far left, then they're not good leaders at
• 1:34
  all. They've just, you know, they
• 1:36
  have very weak moral positionings.
• 1:39
  They, they don't really understand what they're standing
• 1:42
  for, OK? They they will fly the flag and
• 1:47
  say, you know, this is, this is our morals, this, these are our
• 1:51
  principles, but. Their morals and their
• 1:54
  principles are very weak. They have built on, they're
• 1:58
  built on sand in reality and they can't explain it.
• 2:01
  A lot of it's just, well, this is how I feel.
• 2:03
  This is the emotion of it all. A good leader will know and
• 2:07
  we'll be able to explain it, not just say well, just just trust
• 2:11
  me. This is this is my emotional
• 2:13
  feeling. This is how I am today.
• 2:17
  You need to be able to explain, explain yourself and explain
• 2:20
  your position. Put a good argument forward.
• 2:23
  And not be afraid of confrontational or debate.
• 2:28
  Not be afraid to defend yourself in your position and be able to
• 2:33
  defend it. And and also a good leader I
• 2:35
  think can and should be able to accept that OK, there's some
• 2:40
  positions maybe I need to change.
• 2:42
  Maybe I need to rethink. Don't be so big headed as say no
• 2:47
  this is it. I I will not change direction.
• 2:50
  I will not change my stance no matter what.
• 2:54
  Anyway, so this is I think just yet and again another example of
• 2:58
  very poor leadership that we have especially in in in in
• 3:04
  Australian politics at the moment.
• 3:05
  I think the Greens especially a they're they're a very good
• 3:10
  example of very poor very poor leadership.
• 3:14
  They don't they don't really stand for anything.
• 3:16
  They stand for nothing. They fall for anything.
• 3:20
  This is what happens when you have very.
• 3:22
  Every weak moral positionings in life and, you know, you just
• 3:27
  blowing around, blowing about by the wind.
• 3:29
  In reality, yeah, you know, you like you like the wheat just
• 3:34
  flailing around us depending on which way the wind blows just in
• 3:38
  grass. But you know, obviously this
• 3:42
  week we've seen the war break out in in Israel now.
• 3:47
  Oh, I'll stay straight up. I stand for Israel.
• 3:50
  I'm not going to fly. Picture on my Instagram or
• 3:54
  whatever, I I just stand for Israel.
• 3:56
  I can debate it. I can tell you why.
• 4:00
  And I'm. I'm not afraid to announce it,
• 4:02
  to say it. But these, these people who
• 4:04
  would stand up and and defend, defend the this act of terrorism
• 4:11
  where you've had civilians, civilians attacked and just
• 4:16
  literally butchered women, children butchered.
• 4:20
  And then they stand up and say, Oh yeah, butts, yeah, butts.
• 4:23
  Look at look at what the Palestinian people, you know,
• 4:25
  they they have the right to defend themselves.
• 4:27
  And I would say, yeah, anyone has the right to defend
• 4:29
  themselves. But do you just go out and
• 4:31
  attack innocent people? Do you just go out and attack
• 4:35
  civilians, just arbitrarily attack people when you're not
• 4:42
  under attack yourself when you're living in a situation
• 4:46
  that hey? You mightn't agree with that.
• 4:47
  You mightn't like that. You mightn't enjoy, enjoy and
• 4:50
  that people are trying to, you know, debate the pros and cons
• 4:53
  and how things should be settled.
• 4:55
  And you're trying to some come, come to some kind of some form
• 4:59
  of compromise. But but no.
• 5:01
  Instead of behaving like adults and instead of coming and
• 5:06
  saying, well, this is what we want, this is what you agree
• 5:08
  with. This is finding some middle
• 5:11
  ground and maybe admitting where you're wrong.
• 5:15
  Getting all the parties to meet. We were wrong.
• 5:17
  No, no, We'll just go out and and and plan and attack.
• 5:21
  Not on military people. Not on military bases.
• 5:24
  Not on, not on people who could actually defend themselves.
• 5:27
  We'll just go out and butcher women, children, defenseless
• 5:33
  people. People who are out there just
• 5:35
  enjoying themselves in normal life.
• 5:37
  Not arms, not not looking for a fight.
• 5:40
  I would scout and butcher them, Take them.
• 5:43
  Kidnap them. Hold them hostage.
• 5:45
  Butcher children. Some of the things that I've
• 5:50
  heard that have happened, you you, you've got to wonder what
• 5:52
  kind of mindset. And then you have people, even
• 5:54
  people here in Australia, getting up and rejoicing over
• 5:57
  these things. The that that if you live in
• 6:01
  Australia and you think it is right to rejoice in the
• 6:05
  butchering of children, you need to pull your head and you need
• 6:10
  to go back. If that's what you want to do,
• 6:12
  go back to your thinking little. Third World piece of desert,
• 6:19
  Anyway, got that off my chest. Going back to leadership.
• 6:25
  The Greens, Yes, again. And it's not just the Greens,
• 6:29
  but predominantly the Greens. Yet again, a great example of
• 6:33
  extremely poor leadership. This is how you don't behave.
• 6:37
  Let's just, let's just watch this video together.
• 6:39
  This is just from Sky News. Yeah and you know these these
• 6:48
  councillors, I don't understand council councillors.
• 6:50
  In my in my mind in Australia, councillors have they receive
• 6:54
  way too much of the limelight. They get way too much publicity.
• 6:58
  Councillors think a lot, think far more of themselves than what
• 7:02
  they really should. It's your job to run the council
• 7:07
  anyway. We'll we'll check this out.
• 7:09
  Have a listen to this and let me know what you think about all
• 7:12
  this. I.
• 7:14
  Weakness Speaking of this rampant weakness, 2 Greens
• 7:19
  councillors and a residents first councillor with the
• 7:22
  Willara Council in Sydney's E, which is home to a large Jewish
• 7:26
  population, walked out on a vote condemning Hamas.
• 7:31
  Liberal councillor Mary Lou Jarvis joins me now with the
• 7:34
  details. Thanks for joining us, Mary Lou,
• 7:36
  Tell us about this motion and what occurred in the council
• 7:40
  chambers. Was this today or last night?
• 7:44
  Chris this was last night. It was actually, ironically at
• 7:48
  the very time that people were leaving to March from Sydney
• 7:51
  Town Hall down to the Opera House, where, as we know, the
• 7:54
  Israeli flag was displayed. We obviously didn't know any of
• 7:57
  that until after the meeting. So our newly elected mayor
• 8:00
  Richard Shields had at the start of the meeting and mayoral
• 8:04
  minute condemning. Yeah, so like I said, you know
• 8:09
  that they were talking about this.
• 8:11
  Displaying the flag on the Opera House and these protesters come
• 8:15
  and, you know, rejoicing over the fact that women and children
• 8:17
  are just butchered, butchered and then rejoicing over it and
• 8:22
  and putting up some kind of defense there.
• 8:25
  There is no defense for that kind of thing anyway.
• 8:27
  Keep. Being the unprecedented attack
• 8:29
  by Hamas on the Israeli people, we had passed that or we'd all
• 8:35
  spoken to that, seconded it and. There were no or several people
• 8:41
  were missing from the council. Later, at the end of the
• 8:44
  meeting, Richard realized that we actually hadn't put it to a
• 8:47
  vote, so he put it to a vote. So this is sort of three hours
• 8:51
  after the meeting started and to our surprise, 3 councillors got
• 8:56
  up and left the room. However, you know, we were
• 9:00
  unanimous. All the people that were in the
• 9:01
  room voted to. As I say, condemn the
• 9:04
  unprecedented attack and offer our support to all the Jewish
• 9:08
  people in our community, of which there's many.
• 9:11
  Chris, you know we have a community that's strongly
• 9:15
  linked. These are our family and our
• 9:17
  friends and regrettably a lot of our family and friends here have
• 9:22
  family and friends in Israel that have been subjected to
• 9:24
  these horrific attacks in a democratic company.
• 9:29
  I mean country. Imagine.
• 9:31
  If that sort of thing happened to us here in Australia and
• 9:34
  obviously our hearts go out to all those people that are
• 9:36
  affected. Indeed.
• 9:37
  Now, Mary Lou Jarvis, this motion was condemning the
• 9:41
  terrorist atrocities and supporting the people of Israel
• 9:44
  through this terrible time. There's nothing political about
• 9:49
  that in terms of where you stand on the Palestinian issue in
• 9:52
  Israel. What?
• 9:53
  Why? Why do you think?
• 9:54
  Have you had any explanation as to why these Greens councillors?
• 9:57
  Walked out. I mean, how could any human
• 9:59
  being not support such a much such emotion?
• 10:05
  Well, Chris, you'd have to ask them that.
• 10:06
  I can't. It's pretty obvious how you
• 10:10
  can't support this emotion, this motion, because you're not a
• 10:14
  real leader, for one, and because you're just supporting
• 10:20
  terrorism and because you've got no.
• 10:26
  No principles. No real principles.
• 10:28
  OK? You, you.
• 10:29
  I can't keep going. Keep going.
• 10:32
  Speak for them. All I can speak for is the
• 10:34
  people that are in the room. That said, and it wasn't just
• 10:38
  for the people of Israel, it's the the people in our community,
• 10:40
  as I say, our family and friends who have been impacted and been.
• 10:45
  These three. These are the three that walked
• 10:47
  out. The three.
• 10:49
  The three with no spine. Counselor.
• 10:52
  Nicola Grieve. Counselor Matthew Robertson.
• 10:57
  Councillor Harriet Price No spine whatsoever.
• 11:03
  Well, no principles anyway. Yeah.
• 11:08
  They're basically just condoning the butchering of babies because
• 11:12
  that's what happened. To deal with this extraordinary
• 11:16
  worry, these horrific attacks and how it impacts on their
• 11:19
  family and friends in Israel, I mean, for example, the mayors.
• 11:22
  Nephew is in Israel at the moment, as a lot of these young
• 11:26
  boys do, or and girls, as their rite of passage.
• 11:29
  They go on their gap year and they go to a kibbutz.
• 11:32
  And the tragedy, of course, of those videos that we've seen
• 11:35
  young people dancing and all of a sudden running for their
• 11:39
  lives, I mean, it's just heartbreaking.
• 11:42
  It is heartbreaking and it just destroys our sense of humanity.
• 11:46
  We just had a picture of those. Three councillors up on screen.
• 11:49
  I just wanted you're very clear in your mind.
• 11:51
  There have been media, media reports suggesting this, of
• 11:54
  course, but you're very clear in your mind that they got up and
• 11:56
  left the room because they did not want to vote on in support
• 11:59
  of this motion. Well, all I can say, Chris, is
• 12:04
  they certainly got up and left the room.
• 12:06
  I'd let everybody draw their own conclusions as to they were not
• 12:09
  there for the vote. I think that.
• 12:12
  Yeah, just unprincipled. And I can't, I can't say
• 12:20
  anything more. I'll probably get out of
• 12:22
  control. But this is what happens when
• 12:25
  you when you have poor leadership, OK.
• 12:27
  We keep voting these clowns in and then wondering why a country
• 12:34
  is is decaying. We're we're allowing it to decay
• 12:37
  from the inside now. One thing about this, this vote
• 12:42
  in the way these, these councillors did, what they did,
• 12:47
  I think that although people around the world, nations around
• 12:52
  the world such as America and such as Australia, all sitting
• 12:55
  there saying, you know, we stand with Israel and they're
• 12:57
  condemning, they're condemning these terrorist terrorism
• 13:03
  attacks, I believe it won't take long before the sentiment.
• 13:09
  Worldwide changes when Israel stands up and does what it needs
• 13:14
  to do, OK, and it starts and it and it fights back, trying to
• 13:22
  drill out, trying to take back this well, trying to take back
• 13:29
  its citizens and trying to bring law and order into the Gaza
• 13:34
  Strip. Trying to demolish, trying to
• 13:36
  take down Hamas. Yeah.
• 13:40
  The the problem is the borders being shut.
• 13:43
  The borders being shut and and Egypt isn't accepting people
• 13:50
  from the guard from from Gaza and yet they've turned the
• 13:54
  argument around. They turned the the narrative
• 13:56
  around and and tried to blame. Well, you can see the narratives
• 14:00
  being turned around and the blames being shifted to Israel.
• 14:02
  And how dare they, you know, continue with this defensive.
• 14:07
  You know, they're just attacking innocent, innocent people trying
• 14:12
  to trying to get revenge. They're doing what they have to
• 14:15
  do to defend their nation, which any nation would be allowed to
• 14:19
  do except Israel. Israel is the one nation in the
• 14:22
  world that is not allowed to defend its people according to
• 14:26
  the rest of the rest of the world.
• 14:29
  I believe what these what these councillors have done.
• 14:33
  Is what is eventually going to come out in a couple of weeks.
• 14:36
  It's not going to take long I don't think before the rest of
• 14:39
  the world before the narrative changes and you're going to see
• 14:42
  the the you're going to see the rest of the world start to turn,
• 14:47
  turn its back on Israel because they're not going to like
• 14:51
  they're not going to what They're not going to agree with
• 14:53
  the the stance that Israel needs to take.
• 14:56
  I also think that we are actually in the middle or at the
• 15:00
  start, I don't know. Not at the start I suppose, but
• 15:03
  I think we're, I think we're actually in World War 3 and I'm
• 15:07
  going to do a video about that later on.
• 15:10
  But let me know what you think. What do you think is going to
• 15:12
  happen with Israel? How do you think that the rest
• 15:14
  of the world, do you think nations like Australia, the UK,
• 15:17
  America, do you think they're going to continue to support and
• 15:20
  encourage Israel? Or do you think they're just
• 15:22
  going to turn their backs and say, hey, you know, start to
• 15:25
  mellow things down and continue to push for this two state
• 15:28
  solution? You know, the the narrative will
• 15:31
  change and oh, no, no, no. It's the poor Palestinians now.
• 15:34
  Oh no, You can't keep attacking Hamas.
• 15:37
  Can't keep defending your country.
• 15:39
  Let me know what you think. I think things are going to
• 15:41
  change and everyone's going to start turning their back on
• 15:45
  Israel. I don't think it's right.
• 15:47
  Don't think you should do it. Don't think it's a good thing to
• 15:50
  do. But I think this is what will
• 15:53
  happen. That's my opinion.
• 15:55
  Let me know what you think. Thanks for listening to the
• 15:57
  slippery, slippery slope. They just feel
