Latest / Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo / Olivier Melnick: Disturbing Signs That World History Is Repeating The 1930s & 40s
Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
- 0:10defending biblical Christianity.
- 0:13No topic, off limits.
- 0:16And now, here's your host, David Firazzo.
- 0:20Welcome, friends.
- 0:21God bless you.
- 0:22First day, Olivier Melnick in the website is Shalom in Messiah.com, Shalom in Messiah.com.
- 0:33And I want to quote a recent article that he wrote and we're going to talk about that when
- 0:37I bring him in.
- 0:38He says Israel is in a shambles right now.
- 0:42The country is split between those who want to fight until the last Hamas terrorist
- 0:48is eliminated.
- 0:49And those who want BB Netanyahu to resign or go into immediate retirement.
- 0:56He says Israel's are Israelis are tired, scared, and despite all this life must go on in
- 1:03Israel.
- 1:04We're going to talk about that with Olivier Melnick.
- 1:06Brother, good to see you again.
- 1:07Thanks for your time today.
- 1:08A great to be on your show.
- 1:10Thanks.
- 1:11It's been a while.
- 1:12I'm glad to be back.
- 1:13Thank you.
- 1:14Thank you.
- 1:15So what have been doing?
- 1:16Give us a little update.
- 1:17We're going to talk about some of your articles today.
- 1:20Yeah.
- 1:21I mean, I tried to tell him top of the news, which of course on in a topic of Israel and
- 1:25times and anti-Semitism, I just have to pick which one every day, but you know, which
- 1:30is it used to be not that many, but not so crazy what's happening.
- 1:35So yeah, I mean, I'm also writing a big update to my anti-Semitism book that's going
- 1:43to probably come out early next year and then traveling, doing conferences and I just
- 1:50got back from Canada and I'm going to Washington State next weekend and, you know, I mean, wherever
- 1:57I have a chance to go, you know, our mission statement at Shalom and Messiah is to expose
- 2:06and fight anti-Semitism, equip and mobilize Christians and lead Jewish people to the Messiah.
- 2:12So it's all intertwined.
- 2:14So I do this as often as I'm invited and also on my website and on Shalom and Messiah
- 2:22on YouTube, I put a lot of videos, interviews and so it keeps me pretty busy and I'm still
- 2:27trying to salvage a trip to Israel.
- 2:32I was going to go from the 4th to the 11th of October to be there on the first anniversary
- 2:37of the tourist act to have some special filming and prayer time and the airline canceled
- 2:43me, but now it's open again, it's a mess.
- 2:46So I'm still hoping I can be in Israel for the memorial of the first year of the attack
- 2:53if I can.
- 2:54With my good friend Tom, Tom Yu is going to be there too.
- 2:57Awesome.
- 2:58Just had him on the show.
- 2:59It's amazing.
- 3:00October 7th is almost here again.
- 3:02I know.
- 3:03Really amazing and I hope people don't forget, but I think a lot of people have forgotten.
- 3:08I mean, just like the Holocaust and just like 9-11, which we just had in America.
- 3:13We will never forget and six months later people are about their business, you know, I think
- 3:18that's just human nature part of it.
- 3:20Before we get into your article, would you like to speak to that because what happened in
- 3:24Israel on October 7th last year was demonic, was horrific, was unprecedented and it's amazing
- 3:32to see how the world has responded and maybe we shouldn't be surprised.
- 3:36Speak to that Olivier.
- 3:38Yeah.
- 3:39So what happened last year was, you know, it was a terrorist attack, 1200 Israeli people
- 3:48were massacred in a blood bath, you know, in the South near the Gaza border, a couple
- 3:57of Kibbutzim and that were attacked and then they took about 240 hostages, raped women,
- 4:05killed children, elderly, Hamas really did what they did.
- 4:14As much as I really always, I'm careful not to draw parallels, it can be compared to
- 4:22some of the Holocaust, what happened during the Holocaust, the treatment of the Jews.
- 4:26And again, I my entire time that I've been teaching on anti-Semitism which goes on almost
- 4:3225 years now, I'm always very, very cautious not to compare anything to the Holocaust, but
- 4:38some people have said already that this was almost like a Holocaust, 2.0 even though the
- 4:42numbers are not there, but the intensity and the brutality can compare to the Holocaust.
- 4:50And what was amazing is that within a week, maybe even less, the entire world completely
- 4:59shifted their focus on Gaza Strip, Palestinians being killed and innocent Palestinians being
- 5:06killed and it's like nobody wanted to talk about the 1200 murdered a week before.
- 5:12You would think that the world would come and say, hey, what happened in Israel was terrible,
- 5:17this has to stop and what the world has done is like, hey, what is happening in Gaza is
- 5:24terrible, this has to stop.
- 5:26We need a ceasefire.
- 5:28Backpedal to a little bit to what happened on October 7th because we had a ceasefire
- 5:33since 2005 in the Gaza Strip, no Jews were occupying the Gaza Strip, they were self-governing,
- 5:43nobody from Israel was bothering them and now it's going to be very difficult to get back
- 5:48to that.
- 5:49I don't think Israel is going to, my guess is for the next 20 or 30 years, Israel is not
- 5:53going to let the Gaza Strip being self-governing.
- 5:57Why would they?
- 5:58Why would they?
- 5:59They just can't be trusted.
- 6:01So it's, and we're coming on on the one year anniversary next month and we still have
- 6:09about 100 doztages, I think like 97, I believe, and it's just not only the world turned
- 6:16its back on Israel, but I think when I'm seeing what I see, when I see what I see on the news
- 6:23and when the articles that I read and I see that it's become almost like, let's show
- 6:30Israel anti-Semitic we really are because we really hate their guts.
- 6:34And you see all this happening on campuses all over the U.S. and in other countries
- 6:39in North America and Canada as well, just got back from Canada recently and they had a
- 6:43really bad, bad two-month at the University of Toronto and so the whole world instead of
- 6:51coming to the rescue of Israel and help Israel because right now there's a lot of help
- 6:57needed.
- 6:58They just turn against Israel and against the Jews and anti-Semitism is out of the box
- 7:04and it's, David, it's not going back in.
- 7:07I tell you, for 25 years now, I've been telling people we have to fight anti-Semitism,
- 7:13we have to fight, fight, fight.
- 7:15Reminds me of somebody else who said that for something as, as I'm saying it, I'm going
- 7:21back.
- 7:22Oh, it's been said before, fight, fight, fight.
- 7:25But we, I tell people now we have to continue to fight but don't be fooled, we're not going
- 7:32to be able to stop it.
- 7:34It's out.
- 7:35It's going to go full blown and we're not even in a tribulation yet.
- 7:38It's prior to the rapture and it's getting that bad.
- 7:42We have to fight because it's the right thing to do but we also have to, my call right
- 7:48now which is why I shifted ministries within the same mission of wanting to see my people
- 7:53come to Messiah Yeshua, my call right now is to equip and mobilize Christians to telling
- 7:59them fight anti-Semitism but also tell your Jewish friends, if you need me, I'm here
- 8:04for you.
- 8:05Well, that's, these are all important points that you just made and equipping believers
- 8:11to be able to respond to the anti-Semitism with truth, with facts, with the biblical
- 8:16worldview.
- 8:17That's so important.
- 8:18Now, I want to go back to you.
- 8:19You mentioned a lot of things that I wanted to talk about and I want to bring up your
- 8:22article on your website because you already mentioned a couple of points and the article
- 8:27friends is over at Shalom in Messiah.com, six signs.
- 8:32We have arrived at a repeat of the 1930s and 40s, six signs we have arrived.
- 8:38And one of the things you were talking about, let me just read this.
- 8:42It says in an eerie precursor to the prophecy of Zechariah 12.3, it already looks like the
- 8:50whole world is turning against the Jews in Israel and globally.
- 8:55And then you go on and say the opposite should be happening.
- 9:00And yet Israel is being painted as the genocidal Jewish state.
- 9:05We need to set the record straight because the media won't.
- 9:11So Livy, let's stop right there.
- 9:12We know the media is biased.
- 9:15We know their worldview, it's anti-Christian, anti-Israel.
- 9:18But what should have happened, even after shortly after October 7, when some of the video
- 9:26was released, that Hamas, some of them, they took video and when some of that was released,
- 9:32it's amazing to me, even what was going on college campuses, they were almost doubling
- 9:36down and justifying saying, well, yeah, that's justified what happens.
- 9:40So that's, there's a spiritual dynamic that's really demonic against the Jews that's
- 9:46behind this, that's driving this, go ahead and speak to that for a moment.
- 9:50Well, I have a definition of anti-Semitism that I've used for probably two decades.
- 9:57And I find tuned it a little bit in the last several years and I emphasize two words
- 10:05at the beginning of my definition.
- 10:09My definition used to be that anti-Semitism is the hatred, the hatred of Israel and the
- 10:15Jewish people characterized by thoughts, words and deeds against them.
- 10:21And then about maybe five years ago, maybe a little more, I started adding those two
- 10:26words.
- 10:27Anti-Semitism is the irrational and demonic hatred of Israel and the Jewish people characterized
- 10:34by thoughts, words and deeds against them.
- 10:37And the reason why it's important, it's so important is because unless we understand
- 10:43that anti-Semitism comes from Satan who wants to destroy the Jews, then we won't be
- 10:50able to understand it and little fight it because you cannot fight something you don't
- 10:54understand.
- 10:55So irrational because it's from the enemy who can make the irrational sound and look rational.
- 11:02And I mean, you get things like buckles my mind, queers for Palestine, I'm sorry David,
- 11:10but those words don't belong in the same sentence because anybody who has, in the homosexual
- 11:18lifestyle, I don't agree with it, but it's a choice, I'm just, you know, that's their
- 11:22choice.
- 11:23I don't agree, I don't think it's biblical, but they need to understand if they were to
- 11:26be having a homosexual lifestyle in Palestine or in the Middle East, they would not make
- 11:32it for an hour.
- 11:33That's right.
- 11:34They would get killed.
- 11:35That's right.
- 11:37So it's, so it's very irrational, it's very irrational, but people don't care, it sounds,
- 11:43it sounds right to them because the enemy is deceiving them, he is the master of lies.
- 11:47And, you know, and you know, I've said this before on your show, I'm sure, but the reason
- 11:52why Satan is doing this is because he understands the Bible probably better than most of us.
- 11:59But he's not omniscient, he doesn't know all because he's a created being, he's the
- 12:04fallen angel.
- 12:05He was created by God, but, but he understands that at the end of the story, Israel,
- 12:11corporately, the Jewish people will call upon the one who they have fierce, according
- 12:15to Zechariah 1210, and they will say, Baruch Abab Hashem, Adonai, blessed is you, comes
- 12:20the name of the Lord, which Yeshua said, Jesus said, surely you will not see me again
- 12:25until you say, blessed is you, comes the name of the Lord.
- 12:28So Jesus told Israel, listen, I came for you, some of you rejected me, not all of you,
- 12:33some of you rejected me, I'm opening my program to all people now, but I will return for Israel.
- 12:39And at the end of the story, Israel will call me and that's when I return.
- 12:43So when Israel calls Jesus, he comes back, that's the second coming, that's not the rapture,
- 12:49that's after the rapture, there's a seven year tribulation between that.
- 12:53And Satan knows when that happens, it's not looking good for him because his career is, is over,
- 12:59and he is pun intended, he's toast, pun intended.
- 13:03So he wants to, he wants to stop it.
- 13:07And so he is a creator of anti-Semitism and, and, and we're seeing right now, this rebirth
- 13:13of all the things that, that took place in the 30s and 40s and David, what is killing me is
- 13:20that my own people don't see it, they, you know, it's one of the six points in my article,
- 13:26the, the Jewish denial. I talk to, I talk to an orthodox rabbi recently in, in my, my hometown
- 13:36here in Texas, I had, I met him for coffee and I said, you know, you know, I lost my father in
- 13:41Auschwitz, anti-Semitism was, was, you know, was an issue then and it's an issue now and it's,
- 13:45is getting as bad and they're going to come after us and he knew that I believe that Jesus is the
- 13:49Messiah and I told him, I said, listen, I know you and I don't agree, a Theologically, we're now
- 13:55on the same page, I get that, but in the eyes of an anti-Semite, you're as Jewish as I am, I'm as
- 14:00Jewish as you are, they want us dead. So we need to work together and we need to be prepared for
- 14:05that. And he said, well, I appreciate your, your, your concern, our people will, we'll take care
- 14:12ourselves. And I'm thinking, yes, as a rabbi, you are the, the spiritual leader of your flock,
- 14:18of your community, of your synagogue, I get that. But you know what, if all of your Jewish people
- 14:23within your community are altogether so that you can protect them, you're still a bunch of Jews
- 14:30at risk. And, and, and so the vast majority of the Jewish community thinks that we'll take care
- 14:40of ourselves or think that maybe, maybe a, it's, it's exaggerated. And, and so they're in denial,
- 14:47not even to mention the fact that most of them still think, I mean, still say that they're going
- 14:52to vote Democrat. This boggles my mind. Head scratcher. Well, we've got to take a pause with Olivia
- 14:58Melnick. By the way, I didn't mention the YouTube page. It's Shalom in Messiah Ministries on YouTube,
- 15:04equipping, mobilizing, reaching out with Olivia Melnick. We'll be right back on World View Matters.
- 15:10Today's show is brought to you by Harbinger's Daily. World news biblically understood. Stay
- 15:16informed at Harbinger's Daily.com. Friends, we're looking for other sponsors for the show,
- 15:30including Harbinger's Daily, Patriot Mobile, Freedom Project Academy. If you're interested,
- 15:34send us an email. Our producer will get right back to you. World View Matters at FPEUSA.org,
- 15:42and make sure you subscribe to us on rumble. I want to get back to, I'm talking about two
- 15:48different articles with Olivia Melnick. They're both on his website, Shalom in Messiah.com.
- 15:54One of them already mentioned six signs we have arrived at a repeat of the 1930s and 40s.
- 16:01The other article, though, that I want to ask you about Olivia is good luck finding moral
- 16:06equivalence in the Hamas Israel War. And you mentioned earlier, I want to make sure you emphasize
- 16:12this, Hamas broke the ceasefire. People are pushing Israel right now. This should be a ceasefire,
- 16:19but they're ignoring that a ceasefire was in place before October 7 last year. Talk a little
- 16:27bit about that. A lot of people don't, they're not aware of that. Well, yeah, I mean, Hamas had
- 16:34elections, and I believe 2005, and they won the elections, and it took the leadership of the
- 16:41Gaza Strip in southwest Israel. And by 2006, officially, they were in charge of everything in the
- 16:48Gaza Strip. So 2006 to 2023, that's 17 years, basically, between 17 and 18 years, that Hamas
- 16:56was in control of the Gaza Strip. And, you know, and the world knows the world is really not
- 17:03that looking the other way and becoming a bystander, which is, you know, not a good thing. The world
- 17:08knows that Hamas funneled just the majority, if not all of it, the majority of the funds that
- 17:16were sent by various countries to that to help the Palestinian Authority build an infrastructure,
- 17:23and their infrastructure became a structure, an underground structure. They funneled most of
- 17:29that money into building the tunnels. Some of them were used, and are still used today,
- 17:36to go through, to go to Israel underground, and also to do all the fighting that they've been
- 17:42doing, and then to hide some of the hostages that they took on October 7th. So there was a ceasefire,
- 17:51and you know, when I see the young kids on college campuses in the US saying, stop the occupation,
- 18:02you know, let, you know, I'll be talking about Hamas, stop the occupation. There's no occupation
- 18:07in the Gaza Strip. There's not one Jew doing anything, or saying that they should be doing this or
- 18:13that. And by the way, to set the record straight before somebody calls me and say, Olivia, what do you
- 18:19say that they're occupiers? There's no occupation anywhere in Israel. This is Jewish land given by God
- 18:25to Israel. And so there's no occupation, but, but even beyond that, in the Gaza Strip, for the time
- 18:34being, the, the authority was given to Hamas, and they're doing whatever they want, but what they're
- 18:39want is to build an infrastructure that will help them do another October 7th. That's what they do.
- 18:46Yep. What could go wrong? Give them what they want. Keep compromising. I mean, yeah, this is,
- 18:53there's a spiritual dynamic behind the irrationality too, about some of these decisions and some of
- 18:58the propaganda. Let's talk, let's, you know, since we're running out of time, Olivia, let's go
- 19:04back to the article on the signs that we've arrived, unfortunately, at a repeat of the 30s and 40s.
- 19:11And I just want to get the bullet points. And you've already talked a little bit about the Jewish
- 19:16denial, but a number one is boycott number two, programs number three, academic pressure number four
- 19:23killing Jews, Jewish denial is number five. And then the world's in difference. That's the one
- 19:30where we can open up our eyes a little bit and say, are we really, are we there again at the
- 19:35world's in difference? Just talk to any one of those points, please, if you'd like.
- 19:39Uh, yeah, the, the, the world's in difference is actually part of, uh, I, I spent on that
- 19:46little bit in, uh, one of my books called the normalization of anti-semitism when the
- 19:51longest hatred becomes the new normal, which is it's part of where we are right now. And I
- 19:55divide this into 10, 10 points. The world's in difference right now is, uh, uh, it's so scary.
- 20:03They just don't pay attention to what's happening. They take the side of, of, of, of the enemy.
- 20:08I mean, this new anti-semitism as, as, as seen a, a, a role reversal where Israel was the victim,
- 20:15the Jewish people were the victim. And then, uh, the, uh, you know, in, in Europe, the Nazis were
- 20:21the perpetrators. Well, in the last 50, 60 years, there's been a role reversal that's slowly built
- 20:27the, uh, the Israelis and the Jews into the perpetrators and the Palestinians into the victims.
- 20:35And the world is completely silent about the injustices, uh, perpetrator against Israel.
- 20:41And they promote the Palestinian, uh, murders and the Palestinian acts, uh, thinking that it's
- 20:48the right thing to do. It's, you know, it's part of social justice and especially the youth.
- 20:53That's really scary. But, uh, uh, people, uh, you know, I, I still talk to people all the time.
- 20:59Uh, I meet people all the time, you know, I tell them what I do. And I said, uh, uh, and I,
- 21:04I wear this little yellow ribbon that I bought in Tel Aviv and June when I was there at
- 21:08a hostage square and, and they said, what's the, because people know what a yellow ribbon is.
- 21:13It's usually as to something to do with war and, and they go like, what's the yellow ribbon for?
- 21:18I said, well, that's for October 7th. And they look at me and they go, yeah, in what's that?
- 21:26And I'm going, oh, oh, all the time, all the time. And I'm not talking about young people.
- 21:32And I'm going like, well, you know what happened October 7th in Israel. And they kind of nod
- 21:37going like, oh, yeah, you know, the Middle East Israel, but they don't know. They don't know
- 21:40because they don't care. It's not, it's not affecting them. Now, if they have a Jewish neighbor,
- 21:46a Jewish family member, uh, that might be a little different. But the vast majority of people,
- 21:51let's face it, there's 15 million Jews in the world of what? Seven and a half billion. So, you
- 21:57know, uh, it's not going to affect the vast majority of people. They don't care. They're,
- 22:02they're completely, uh, they're busy with something else. And even within, within Christianity,
- 22:08in some churches, uh, I've seen people going like, yeah, I know something happened on, on, on,
- 22:13on October 7th. And, and the immediate kind of a knee jerk reaction that I get from even a
- 22:20lot of Christian is that, yeah, but what about the Palestinians? It's like, people cannot,
- 22:26they, they, they, if they, and it's become more of the norm, if people, even within
- 22:32evangelicals, if they speak of Israel, they absolutely cannot speak of Israel without saying,
- 22:37yes, but what about the Palestinian? They feel like they have to say that, otherwise they're not
- 22:41being honest. And I'm not saying we should ignore the Palestinians. David, Palestinians,
- 22:46in Jews need one thing. It's Jesus, the son of God, the Messiah of Israel, without him,
- 22:52they're lost, just like you and I were lost. Okay. But, but, but from a geopolitical standpoint,
- 22:59they're not paying attention. And they're looking in the, in the wrong places for social justice.
- 23:04So you've got that, uh, and that leads to, uh, things that, that took place in, in, uh,
- 23:10LA and in Brooklyn, uh, pogroms, uh, organized riots. And the police in LA, there was a pogrom
- 23:17recently. There was a riot on the streets in front of a synagogue. And the police was asked
- 23:21to stand down. Wow. Why? Stand down. So if this is what Jewish people can expect of their local
- 23:29police, no wonder Jews are making alia right now in, in, in, in droves, uh, the, the irony, David,
- 23:37is think about it everywhere in the world, including my own family out of France right now,
- 23:42doing their papers to make alia, my sisters, my only, uh, surviving member of my family and my
- 23:47three nephews and nieces were all, uh, modern orthodox. They're, they're, they're moving to
- 23:52Israel within the next couple of years, if not sooner. And think about this for a second.
- 23:58Nowhere in the world is a Jews safe right now, except in Israel. And yet, Israel is in a full
- 24:06blown war. What does that tell you? Wow. Now that, that's perspective when you, when you look at
- 24:12it that way. Um, so we're running out of time. And I just did want to talk to you briefly about
- 24:17some of the lies, uh, in the debate, recent debate with President Trump and Kamala Harris,
- 24:24VP Kamala Harris. And she said she was pro Israel or I, I just paraphrase. I don't remember how
- 24:30she worded it, but she supports Israel. And if you look at the policies of the Biden administration,
- 24:35it's a head scratcher. And of course, the ABC Democrat moderators didn't challenge her on any of
- 24:40those points. But I want to just get your thoughts on that in this current administration. And
- 24:45maybe, uh, that statement in the debate. Well, the, uh, her statement that she's pro Israel was, was
- 24:52just, uh, it was just another series of words that she wanted to just throw at people to make
- 24:58it sound like she was pro Israel, but she's not pro Israel. Biden administration is not pro Israel.
- 25:04I mean, recently, uh, uh, Netanyahu visited the states and she was not even available to meet
- 25:10with them. What kind of a slap in the face is that? Uh, my biggest concern is that, uh,
- 25:16with them, the multi, uh, France, that Israel is, is, uh, facing right now with, uh, you know,
- 25:22the, uh, uh, the Selon Gaza and then North in Lebanon and Syria and Iran and, uh, Judea
- 25:28Samaria, which is the West Bank. Some people call it that, uh, you know, Israel is, is, is like
- 25:34fighting multiple fronts and then they might be attacked not so much to invade them, but to
- 25:40deplete their iron dome arsenal. And then when it's depleted and they try to get more America and
- 25:49some parts of the, uh, of Europe will say, well, not so quick. If you do, uh, if you don't do a
- 25:54ceasefire, uh, we're not going to send you anything and then the real attack and invasion will come
- 26:00because they can't defend themselves. So that's a fear. That's a real concern, but that this
- 26:04current administration is not in favor, uh, of Israel. They're just lying. Are people that ignorant
- 26:10that, or they're, they will believe the talking points, points and not do any of the research for
- 26:14themselves? Um, are they that ignorant, buying the, even the propaganda that Israel,
- 26:19their occupiers, right? They are occupying the land. People won't go and look at the Bible or
- 26:24world history, uh, or they won't acknowledge the truth that they just believe. Oh, yeah, that
- 26:29sounds good. So there there's this mob mentality. I think that takes place. Don't you think?
- 26:34Absolutely. And David, at the end of the day, we shouldn't be surprised. This is a, this is an
- 26:40ongoing, increasingly, exponentially increasing, an ongoing setting up of Zechariah 12-3.
- 26:48Yeah. In this day, the Lord says that all the whole world will go against Jerusalem. We are
- 26:52seeing right now people that, uh, that that are going after Israel and the Jews, uh, one group
- 26:59after the other. And even some, we can talk about that another show. Maybe a lot of the conservatives
- 27:03are not turning their back on Israel, which you never thought that would happen. No headscratcher.
- 27:08Well, we understand. It's all, it's prophetic. Olivia Melnik Shalom in Messiah.com. Thank you
