JOE ROGAN on I$RAEL UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie is Ready to Visit GAZA after Accepting Islam

Just so yes all genocides the opportunity was to open Would you ever visit Gaza? Of course yes, Jews are embarrassed what's happening there in the State of Israel in the Jewish name?

La ilaha illallah wa I should do

like Cuba. So we're gonna say the English right? There is none worthy of worship then we're Washington accent except one Allah except one Allah. And I bear witness and I bear witness and Mohammed, Mohammed is a messenger of Allah, some message of Allah Allahu Akbar, Muslim. That's it. We're gonna make

just so yes, all genocides. We agree, you had something with I don't know much of the politics and presidents in Brazil or whatnot. But I was even listening to the one the current president of Brazil, he was also standing on the side of Palestinian saying this is a genocide. This needs to stop what's his name? Lulu. Lulu, did you see his statements on this? Yeah, can only start

when you see

the chemo my

dogs, and my gate was set up.

So if this was happening to Jews, Muslims would also be against against this tool Zionism came about Jews flourished as distinctly religious Jewish communities, and they weren't massacred. On the contrary, they went to these Arabic Muslim lands to escape persecution. If from the Crusades from the Inquisition, and for many other trials and tribulations and the end, even World War Two, the Arab and Muslim lands, opened their hearts, opened the lands and provided a safe haven and a gracious hospitality for the Jewish people.

I wanted to make this point because when people saw this posting in Israeli flag, it's what's associated with it. Human Rights Organizations like Amnesty International, even the Jewish human rights organization, they've declared that this is an apartheid state. I know of, you know, apartheid state. I'm Israeli Jewish American as well. My partner is Palestinian. And I can do things that he can't do. I can travel quite freely. And even though his mother is a refugee from what is now Israel, he can't pass areas that are off limits to Palestinians. I have excellent rights I have held there are cities in Israel being built for Jews only, and also in the West Bank settlements

being built for Israeli Jews only. While Palestinians are hemmed in, unable to build cities and their homes are being demolished for lack of permits that are almost impossible to get Israel's perception of itself is a very decent, liberal, peace loving country, which was surrounded by predatory Arabs, and it had no choice but to stand up and defend itself. So this is a defensive war. And there is great reluctance to look at the dark side of this wall, particularly the enth ethnic cleansing that happened in 1948. The broader historical context for this film is the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948.

Over 500 villages were our villages were destroyed 750,000 Palestinians were made refugees. Benny Morris counted 28 massacres of which than to raise only one so it's not an isolated

just like South Africa was at one time, we identify with a piano

because just like our sons, they are fighting for the right of self determination.

Israel like South Africa is an apartheid state. In the Gaza Strip, Palestinians live in the largest open air prison on Earth. In annexed East Jerusalem occupied territory under international law. Palestinians have an inferior legal status that weakens their residency rights, allowing them to be forcibly evicted from their homes. This is why you got such a backlash that thinking that you also now a racist, like this state is yeah

Recently Israeli channel 13 Reporter Yossi le went undercover as a priest for a day, dressed in a robe, he walked through the Old City with Franciscan father, Alberto. In the first five minutes. He was spat at five times by Orthodox Jewish Israelis, thinking that you also are somebody who supports apartheid who supports terrorism against innocent human beings. But obviously, there's a lot more to unpackage. And now, you're getting to see a bigger picture. Have you ever got to hear the other side? So if you're a Palestinian, and you live in Gaza, you're just you're just stuck, you're stuck forever. And that's why these people are like people from America. They're like, why that, you know,

that's why you have this mantra like, oh, they want to die. They raise their kids to be suicide bombers know, when you're in Gaza, you are born dead.

You don't have a life. Have you ever sat like this? To hear what's happening from the other side? Why do you need some historical context? Now look, I used to be a Zionist. And as you mentioned, I'm a Holocaust survivor. Zionism was very important for me as a salvation of the Jewish people.

Until I found out that the state was founded, based on the extra patient, the explosion and multiple massacres of the local population. And that's not historically controversial. So I'm taking a longer view of this. And I'm saying that the present situation cannot be understood without looking at the historical context. And nor can we move forward. If the present occupation and the suppression of the Palestinians continue, Israel thing, like, it scares the * out of me. When I see something like that happen, you know, it's like, there's no clear way this resolves peacefully, like, This is bad. This is real bad. And Israel's gonna go into Palestine dirty bombing. And so their world is

killing people. Their world is controlling resources. They don't play fair. They really stories that aren't true. They use disinformation to switch narrative. They have social media posts that aren't real. They're also coordinating military attacks, what they've done with us as they've sheltered us, and then censored all the mainstream media in such a way lately controlled the narrative of how you think about what can and cannot happen in the world. What's happening there. I did one time I did a tour was

wait, Jordan, as a vision, Dubai, Israel, it was like seven, eight counters that I went in the Middle East. So my post was just the flags in order of which country I'm going to nice, because I post the Israeli flags. Again. I got hate mail. From I tell them you guys are cousins.

You guys, oh, cousins. Over there. Why? Because I put the flag of Israel's like, let's say I was going to wait to Jordan, towards a vision to Dubai, to Israel to because I put the Israeli flag in that order. When you flip it was a picture of each flag. And people send me messages like, oh my god, I can't believe you go into Israel.

Like why? Why? Yes, I think that's the that's the key is that when when you look at, for example, Kuwait or Qatar, you know, there isn't a apartheid state meaning. For example, I was just in Kuwait, right. And Kuwait. I was wonderful. I really had a good experience. And I was sitting with a lot of expats, meaning people that were not from Kuwait that were living there. And I met people, including in the UAE, in the Emirates, that were not Muslim, that have moved from Europe and the US and so on, because they feel that their children have a better environment to be raised in the Middle East today than in the western world because of all the, you know, the nonsense of being forced on the

kids in schools and think you know about all that stuff, right? So, when you go there, you see that people have a peaceful life. People are not being driven out of their own home, people are being killed in the streets and so on. And that's why you don't have that kind of terrorism and things problems with those countries.

The problem that we see right now, I'm not just talking about Gaza, but even West Bank. And Jeanine is when, like you were saying earlier, military and settlers just come in and take over somebody's house, and you can see the videos online. We understand that Israeli soldiers came in this morning and without any notice, without any invitation, came into the apartment and have been there ever since.

I will not speak with you there is a soldiers. The soldiers Yes. What am I doing here? We are a prison here.

They are giving here and the soldiers upstairs. We cannot move. We cannot speak with you. They can't leave the hell no, they told you that. Yes, I can't breathe. Are they going to stay? I don't know. Are they paying you any money?

You're kidding. told us when the soldiers come, they wake everybody up and herd them into a kitchen for hours. While soldiers sleep in their bedrooms. They can't leave or use the phone. Or let us in. When the children returned, we caught a glimpse of two armed soldiers at the top of the stairs, or you can see it in person and just take people out of their own homes. And, you know, people that that have lived on a land for generations are being taken, saying well, biblically, it's my land. Right? So I mean, we could say, well, Moses was Muslim to us. So it's our lands, you know, that's not something you can argue about. So when I put flags of the countries that I fixed, that mean that

I go visit,

for one side to complaint inserts, and I know small minority 1000s and millions of people come here. Now I get about maybe 30 to 40 people that come in and talk trash, we should visit all those counts besides this one. It's like, why?

In the way I look at it, it's the only way for me to express and see and talk and explain what's going on is to visit the people in person.

I think we need to do a tour coming up for oil, would you would you ever? I mean, when everything if it opened if the opportunity was to open, would you ever visit Gaza? Of course, I'm going to Israel many times across the border. That's what usually people when they go to the other side, then it kicks in then they're like, Wow, I visited the occupied territories. Russell during the First Intifada. I cried every day for two weeks what I saw the brutality, the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it are cutting down of Palestinian olive groves,

the denial of water rights, the humiliations.

And this went on and it's much worse now than it was then they see the reality of what's happening when you go to West Bank. I don't know if you've went to West Bank or was a life there is very different than you will in Tel Aviv, right? Because the government doesn't treat the people right. I mean, for example, when you were in occupied Palestine right now.

You nobody controlled food going in and out of Tel Aviv, right. But in Gaza, it's blocked off, right? The Israeli government controls the sea. They control the borders. So even food right now children are starving. Right? So this is why it's different than Qatar, right? Where you don't have that issue going on. Did you hear there's a an interesting documentary where they were showing that

the people fell assign a certain area, they didn't want to be dependent now on the milk getting from the certain from the Jews, they're designers. So they bought a certain amount of cows. And what this illustrated was that now they were producing their own milk. There's a lot of doctors engineers, so they got people to figure out how to milk and then they started producing milk and, and then what happened was the government came, and they were like, Oh, this is this is a problem. So now they pass they were passing ordinances saying this is a security threat that

they went, there's a dog, they went after the cows now. So this is just one example of milk. We're not talking about just milk, the water supply the electricity. So imagine you we get pissed off at someone parks in our driveway.

Imagine now somebody's controlling, you know what you eat, you know your electricity. You can see how, you know, say someone comes in your home and throws you in the basement and takes over your home. So this is the root of the issue. It's again, not Muslims, where as Jews, historically this has not been the case. Most Jews and Muslims have lived in a relative peace, even Christians, but this is like you you were this term. This is Zionists who want to go ahead and take over this whole area and

forced people out of their homes 800,000 plus 800,000 illegal settlements in the West Bank. And it's constantly happening with the United Nations and others have conducted that. So United Nations International Law condemning historian. But I heard the other side again.

If you think of it this way, right? For example, Do you own a home? Right? What you like California, I think you live in California, Florida. Now, Florida, right? Let's say a Native American comes and says, This is not my house. Would you walk out? No. Why not?

They could tell you that. Well, exactly. So that's exactly the point. So when somebody from Germany and Austria and Poland, comes to Palestine, and says, This is my home, that's exactly what the Palestinian people exactly what you said. They said, prove it. Because we've been here for generations. Well, I mean, again, no doubt all of the Americas was at one time owned by the Native American, but you bought a house, you live in it, your family lives in it, it's not the right for somebody to just come and take it because they claim the success of their land, right. And again, I personally have great empathy for the people of the Jewish faith that went through the Holocaust and

the horrible atrocities in World War Two. But again, that wasn't the Palestinians, that was the Germans, I think it would be a great idea for Germany, even today, to cut from Berlin all the way to bond and give it to these really people to go live. No problem. I mean, if that's who caused the genocide, they're the ones that should pay for it. It just doesn't make sense that the issue happens in Europe, Hitler in Germany, and the Holocaust and all of that, and then you take land away from the people that were peacefully living there, the Palestinian people, and you give it to them, right? That's like me saying, you know, for example, I'm from from SoCal, from San Diego, right. We

used to have a lot of gang wars and shoot outs and all that kind of stuff that I lived through. And for me to say, I've been through all that trauma. That's it Alaska is mine now.

The people ask me, like, what do we got to do with this? Right? So and you do I have Israeli friends, Jewish friends, I've had them on the program. One interesting individuals, Miko Pillet, his father was a general and Israeli army, his great grandfather was one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence. And rabbis, Orthodox rabbis who are also their humanity is on and they are also people who come out and speak against this the killing of innocent life that's happening now. So this is another thing that people who are out there they can see that there's Jews Voice for Peace and others to substantiate this is not a Jew Muslim thing? No, it's, we feel very shame what's

going on there, especially they're doing everything in our name. In the name of Jews, in the name of the Toba in the name of God, it's so shameful, we are with you, you have to know. Design is not stone, we are weak. God, God is on our side. This is just a human thing, that we God has given us certain rights. And now for someone to come and say God gave me this land. And many of the people who even started this movement that Theodore hurtles, if you look at it, they didn't even believe in God.

They you know, so they use this as a pretext excuse to go ahead and justify this oppression and whatnot. And then this, these things that are happening with Hamas PLO, this this is these are excuses to go in there and land grab more. So

I think we've made the issue. I think we're all on the same page in life, which should be protected. And we stand and we're going to Makkah, and we're going to

do this. So So you do believe there's only one god yes. Right. You have no problem testifying to that. Yes. And you believe that? Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad are all messengers of God. Yes. You don't worship any of them, right? No. Okay. We're gonna do the testimony. I'm going to do with you all right, I shall do, I shall do al La La ilaha illa Illa, Allah illallah wa, wa, I shall do, I shall do an Allah Mohammed Mohammed Abu Abu Rasulo what? Love Akbar.

We're gonna say the English right, I bear witness, I bear witness there is none worthy of worship. Then word worship, except one Allah except one Allah. And I bear witness and I bear witness and Mohammed. Mohammed is a messenger of Allah send message of Allah Allahu Akbar. Muslim. That's it. We're going to Mecca.
