BONUS: The Fate of the Bibas Brothers, Hamas' Fatal Mistake, & More · The Lila Rose Show

0:00
Hey guys, welcome back to the Lila Rose Show.
0:02
We're going Live Today and we are covering Christian
0:06
persecution, Islamic terrorism, some of the really bombshell
0:10
reports coming out of the Israel Hamas war.
0:14
There's a lot to cover, guys. There's also a bombshell report
0:17
that is really getting virtually no media coverage that's come
0:20
out of the Democratic Republic of Congo having to do with
0:23
Christian persecution. This stuff needs to be talked
0:25
about. Lots to explore here.
0:27
And so we're going to be going into this and I them going into
0:30
this episode, particularly with an ear towards wanting to know
0:34
the truth about the attacks on, yes, our Christian brothers and
0:38
sisters and on many of the innocent, especially in the
0:41
Middle East right now. I think us in the West,
0:43
particularly in America, we are so privileged.
0:46
We really have so much security compared to a lot of other
0:49
people across the world, particularly Christians, many
0:51
Jewish people too. There is a lot of religious
0:54
freedom that we enjoy here. These are all blessings, by the
0:56
way, we should be grateful for, but I think we need to be aware
0:59
of what is taking place in other places.
1:01
We certainly need to be educated on it, and we need to be praying
1:04
for those that are persecuted Christians that are suffering.
1:08
So we're going to unpack a lot of that in today's episode.
1:11
I'm also going to keep an eye on the chat, so please feel free to
1:14
put in questions, comments, notes there.
1:15
I love it when you guys engage and thank you for being there.
1:18
I also want to do a huge shout out to Live Action for this
1:21
episode because we have these two amazing events that Live
1:24
Action is going to be hosting in the next few months that you
1:27
guys should know about. So the first one is the Young
1:30
Leaders Summit. The Young Leaders Summit is
1:33
going to be in Southern California.
1:35
You're going to be getting together with thousands of other
1:38
young people to basically learn about not just the fight for
1:41
life, but really the fight for love.
1:43
There's going to be some amazing speakers here, so you can Scroll
1:46
down here. This is going to be in March
1:47
22nd, 2000 and five, 2025. Excuse me.
1:51
This year, obviously, just really in a month almost.
1:54
It's coming up really quickly here and you were going to have
1:56
some amazing speakers. We're going to have Delegate
1:58
Nick Fridas here, who is amazing.
2:00
You're going to have Trent Porn, who is a fan favorite, Doctor
2:04
Lauren Rubal, Live Action's own Sammy Parker, some amazing
2:07
experts like Doctor Jennifer Morse.
2:09
It's going to be amazing. Oh yeah.
2:11
And of course, Michael Knowles will be there.
2:13
Your guys are going to love it. So it's not too late to sign up.
2:16
There are still tickets and there is a limit.
2:19
A number of tickets are going super fast.
2:21
But for the Live Action Young Leaders Summer Summit in
2:23
Southern California this March, there's going to be a speed
2:26
dating event at the end of the summit.
2:29
Last year's summit, it sold out very quickly and it turned into
2:33
really a mixer because there are a lot of young adults there that
2:36
ended up meeting each other. I think some relationships, and
2:38
I don't know if we've had any successful marriages yet, but
2:40
people really getting to know each other, getting together.
2:43
It was a mixer. So we're actually doing a formal
2:45
speed dating event after the event.
2:46
Check it out. We're going to put the link in
2:49
the bio, right, Harris and there's also a code.
2:51
If you use Lila, you get 25% off your order comes with a free
2:55
lunch too. So go check out this event.
2:57
The tickets are going fast. And then you can also do an add
3:00
on for the speed dating event. The other event I got to tell
3:03
you guys about, which I am super pumped about.
3:06
This is the first time that live action has done this.
3:08
It's the live action Women's Summit, so let's pull that one
3:11
up. This is going to be in
3:12
Huntington Beach, CA on June 21st.
3:16
The theme is returned to eat in life as as it was meant to be.
3:19
Womanhood is under attack today. We don't even know what a woman
3:22
is anymore. We are told to hate our bodies
3:24
and our babies. We are told to think that we
3:27
don't need a man. You know, there's so many lies
3:29
that feminism has told women, modern feminism I will say.
3:33
And there's a confusion about what even means to be a woman
3:35
and what our superpowers are. This event is about celebrating
3:39
what it means to be a woman. It's about about encouragement,
3:41
it's about strengthening. We're going to have some amazing
3:43
speakers. I will get to be there.
3:45
Lisa Bevere will be there, Allie Beth Stuckey will be there,
3:49
Riley Gaines will be joining again, Doctor Lauren Ruble, my
3:52
friend Emily Wilson, just some amazing, amazing, amazing.
3:55
Truly, it's like the most amazing lineup.
3:57
So for this event. And there's also going to be a
4:00
lot of private shopping experience at the end.
4:02
It's going to be super fun. So any women from anywhere in
4:05
the country and certainly in California, check it out.
4:07

4:19
It's going to be amazing. So guys, go check it out and I
4:22
hope to see you at both of these amazing events.
4:26
All right, we're going to jump right into the news today.
4:30
So we're going to start with the headline news about the really
4:35
heartbreaking tragedy of the Bebas family and the really the
4:41
ceremony, if you want to call it that, it was more of a spectacle
4:44
or a carnival that was done yesterday by Hamas in Gaza to
4:50
hand over the bodies of four hostages.
4:54
And they're doing this in exchange for really hundreds of
4:56
Palestinian prisoners coming from Israel.
5:00
I have been following the story guys for the last it's been I
5:04
think 500 days plus since October 7th, 2023, when Hamas
5:12
entered Israel and stormed people's private homes in the
5:17
kibbutz and burned down homes, stormed a music festival,
5:22
murdered and raped really hundreds of young people.
5:25
And then turned their attention to these small towns where they
5:29
destroyed, destroyed whole families in their beds.
5:32
And they also kidnapped hundreds of hostages that they then took
5:36
over to Gaza. Among the hostages were a number
5:40
of children. And early on in the negotiations
5:44
between Israel and Gaza and Hamas, many of these children,
5:48
several of them were released in hostage exchanges, prisoner for
5:52
hostage exchanges, One set of children that was not released.
5:57
And again, it's been 500 days where these two little boys, the
6:03
Bibus brothers, baby Kiffer and Ariel, a nine month old baby
6:07
when he was abducted. Here's their pictures and a
6:10
form, a year old little boy. And I just want to pause here
6:15
because there were Americans who were taken hostage, American
6:19
citizens, Americans who were slaughtered when Hamas entered
6:23
Israel, they didn't just kill Jews.
6:26
They actually killed some Muslims.
6:27
They killed some Arabs. It wasn't just they're killing
6:31
the people they hate, the Jewish people.
6:33
They were killing really indiscriminately and they were
6:36
kidnapping. And these little boys have been
6:40
on my heart for now 500 days. And it's just particularly, you
6:44
know, yesterday learning about their fate and having that
6:47
finalized, what their fate had been was so heartbreaking for
6:53
really millions of people. You know, most of Israel had
6:57
been waiting with bated breath. What is the fate of these little
6:59
boys? They had been kidnapped with
7:01
their mother by Gazan civilians. Apparently, they were wearing
7:05
plainclothes and then dragged into Gaza in the spectacle.
7:09
Let's play a video here on acts of the of the kidnapping.
7:14
So you see this as Cherie, the mother of these little boys,
7:18
being kidnapped from her home in the kibbutz.
7:20
And this is a video that the terrorists themselves captured.
7:24
We can play this video. You can see she's clutching both
7:27
of them in her arms. You know, a 10 month, nine month
7:29
old and one and a four year old and an and another wrapped in a
7:32
sheet. The terror on her face, I think
7:37
spoke to the hearts of any mother with a heart across the
7:40
world who saw this video. And so people have been
7:43
wondering what is happening with the Bebas brothers?
7:45
Why are you holding on to a 10 month old baby?
7:47
Hamas, Why don't you give the baby back?
7:49
Why don't you give the baby back?
7:50
Israel has been releasing hundreds and hundreds and
7:52
hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and yet Hamas refuse
7:55
has been refusing to release the Bebas brothers and their mother
7:58
Cherie. Earlier this month they released
8:01
the father Ariel Bebus, who had excuse me, They released the
8:05
father of Ariel and Kiffer Bebus and the husband of Cherie.
8:10
So he had was released alive, but again, no sign of the babies
8:15
yet. So what happened yesterday I
8:18
think set back the Hamas propaganda efforts more than
8:21
maybe anything that they've done to date since October 7th.
8:25
And I want to show a video of what Hamas did and some of the
8:28
blowback. This was again a ceremony that
8:32
Hamas put together in Gaza to give back the bodies of four
8:35
hostages. One of them was an elderly
8:38
person. One of them was supposed to be
8:39
Cherie, the mother, and two of them were supposed to be the
8:42
children, the Bibus brothers. So let's play this video here.
8:44
You can see there is a whole set up where they had potentially
8:50
hundreds or thousands of Gazans and they had children there, you
8:52
know, Palestinian children lining up.
8:55
They were playing music. They were carrying the coffins.
8:58
They actually designed the coffins to be carried at the the
9:01
the height of the lower part of the leg because they wanted to
9:05
show disrespect to these Israeli captives and, and murder
9:09
victims. Instead of holding the the
9:11
coffin like they do for their own dead in, in Gaza, they hold
9:15
the coffin up in the shoulder. They did not do that.
9:17
Hamas chose to show a sign of disrespect by holding the coffin
9:20
in a lower way. They gave these cost phones to
9:22
the Red Cross, who then gave them to Israel.
9:24
They locked them. They gave keys that didn't
9:27
match. They put propaganda leaflets in
9:29
the coffins. They put propaganda scribbles
9:32
all over the coffins. Again, it's just absolutely
9:35
horrific. Let's watch this video of the
9:37
parading of the coffins by Hamas.
9:59
So you see there's music playing.
10:00
There's another video of cheers, let's play it.
10:03
Pull that video up again. Babies that were murdered in
10:10
these coffins, You hear the cheering.
10:14
It's like a carnival. And they had this big stage that
10:29
they set up with this big poster of Benjamin Netanyahu with blood
10:33
dripping from his mouth, you know, saying that, you know,
10:35
this is your fault, that these children are dead, when, of
10:37
course, no, Hamas kidnapped these children and then murdered
10:41
them. And now they're trading their
10:42
bodies for Palestinian prisoners.
10:44
I think they've been a lot of people who have been very, very
10:46
critical of Israel's response to the attack from Hamas on October
10:51
7th. There been people who have said
10:52
the death toll, the casualties, the civilian casualties of, of
10:55
women and children have been so high.
10:57
You know, as you guys know, this is an urban war in Gaza.
11:00
It's a very small geographic location, the Gaza Strip.
11:04
It's a very beautiful location, by the way.
11:05
It's up against the ocean. It could be this very beautiful
11:07
and thriving location. But it has been a, you know,
11:10
this war between Palestinian folks who don't want to be in
11:15
Gaza. They want to take over more of
11:17
Israel. They believe they have a right
11:18
to Israel's land. So there's this ongoing, as you
11:20
know, struggle. And Hamas has taken power in
11:23
Gaza and has had that power now for, I think, since the 90s.
11:27
And there's a culture in Gaza of extreme hatred and frustration
11:32
towards the Israeli people, to the degree that there's been
11:36
terrorist attacks that have regularly been levied against
11:39
Israel. There has been, of course,
11:41
October 7th. There was a ceasefire between
11:44
Hamas and Israel before October 7th, 2023, which Hamas chose to
11:49
break. That's when they scaled the
11:50
fences, paraglided into this part of Israel where they then
11:55
attacked kids at a music festival, committed rape and
11:58
other atrocities, literally invaded the homes of the
12:01
kibbutz, these little small kind of agrarian communities that are
12:05
supposed to be very peaceful and loving.
12:07
Many of the people in these kibbutz communities were very
12:09
pro actually Palestinian. They actually worked with
12:11
Palestinians. They actually loved Gazans.
12:14
And it was very, very tragic that these were the groups that
12:16
were targeted by these terrorists.
12:19
So Cherie and her husband and her two little boys were
12:23
targeted as well and kidnapped ultimately.
12:28
And there were people, I think again, in the aftermath of the
12:31
October 7th atrocities that saw, you know, Israel bombing parts
12:37
of Gaza. And, you know, they would be
12:39
obviously trying to bomb Hamas leadership and try to bomb Hamas
12:43
weaponry to try to destabilize them.
12:45
They want to destroy Hamas for what Hamas has done to Israel
12:49
and the threat that Hamas poses to Israel.
12:51
But in the process of that bombing, there have been the
12:54
horrific loss of life of Palestinian children and
12:57
Palestinian women, you know, civilian people in Gaza.
13:01
And so the world has looked at this.
13:03
Many people have been very upset, of course, about Israel's
13:05
response. Israel says, well, we're trying
13:07
to attack Hamas. We don't want to kill babies or
13:10
civilians. But they're Tomas is using them
13:12
as human Shields. They're putting weaponry in
13:13
schools. They're hiding tunnels under
13:15
children's bedrooms. Like this is urban warfare.
13:17
It's dirty. It's ugly.
13:18
We're trying to avoid civilian casualties.
13:21
So this has been, of course, the ongoing struggle, including in
13:23
media. People are saying, well, who's
13:25
at fault? And you know, how much does
13:27
Israel have to blame for this? And Israel saying we're doing
13:29
the very best we can to not kill babies.
13:32
But in this urban warfare, some civilians are dying, and it's
13:35
horrific. But Hamas refuses to surrender.
13:37
And Havas is trying to destroy all of Israel, including our
13:40
children. And meanwhile, there are
13:42
literally over 100 hostages being still held in Gaza that we
13:48
are trying to get back, that Hamas will not give back.
13:50
And it includes these two children, this baby Keffer and
13:54
this little 4 year old Ariel, these brothers.
13:57
And So what happened yesterday, this spectacle of Hamas finally
14:03
giving back their bodies and this confirmation that yes,
14:05
these children are dead. I'm going to get more to that in
14:07
a minute. It actually raised the anger of
14:12
not just as typical, you know, Israel defenders saying, yes,
14:16
it's wrong what's happening to Israel and Israel's just trying
14:18
to defend itself. It actually raised the ire of
14:21
Muslim leaders in the Middle East who saw what Hamas was
14:25
doing to parade the bodies of their victims like this, in this
14:29
this spectacle like a carnival. And even even Muslim leaders in
14:33
the Middle East said this is a bridge too far.
14:36
So there's here's two of them. And I wanted to show you pull
14:39
this up here. This is the Sheikh Abuldalis Sin
14:45
Abdullah and he is the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia.
14:50
He saw the spectacle yesterday and he said what we saw today in
14:54
Gaza is a disgrace to Islam. It's an act of blasphemy against
14:59
Allah. So you even have Muslim leaders
15:03
and here is the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia saying this is an
15:09
offense. This is an offense to Allah
15:11
himself. It's blasphemy.
15:13
What has been done by Hamas and how they are handling the
15:17
situation? The Grand mufti is a, you know,
15:22
very high religious legal figure in Islam, and this is a
15:28
significant figure in Saudi Arabia to say this, to be so
15:31
critical of Hamas. In addition, there was another
15:37
Islamic leader, Ahmed Al Haddad, the grand mufti of the UAE, the
15:41
United Arab Emirates, and he said Hamas has brought shame on
15:46
Islam on a level never seen before.
15:50
So there is this turning of the tide.
15:52
And I think I can perceive it even in public opinion where
15:55
people are seeing, yes, there is a difference between Israeli
15:59
response to Hamas terrorism and how the 2 are treating these
16:06
civilians ultimately. And in the case of Hamas, they
16:09
are literally intentionally kidnapping civilians, murdering
16:12
them and then doing these horrific, you know, Carnival
16:15
like displays celebrating the literal bodies, the dead bodies
16:18
of babies of their enemies. The other report that came out,
16:23
guys, and again, this is extremely horrific.
16:26
When I saw this and it just confirmed the worst fears of so
16:29
many people is when Israel got back the bodies of the children
16:33
and medical examiners evaluated, you know, how did these children
16:36
die, right? Because Hamas claimed, well,
16:38
they died in an Israeli airstrike.
16:40
That's Hamas's, you know, tactic is blame everything on Israel.
16:44
If you're Hamas, you literally blame everything on Israel.
16:47
I rape an Israeli woman, blame the Israeli woman.
16:49
I kill an Israeli toddler blame the Israeli toddle her you know
16:53
I just everything is Israel's fault is the Hamas go to and you
16:57
know there's different arguments to be made about Israel and how
16:59
they're handling Palestinians. But at the end of the day, this
17:03
is the Hamas go to and the reports came out and here we go
17:08
I'm going to pull this up. This is the this is we're going
17:10
to get to this in a minute. Harris on the Hamas bus attack.
17:14
We're not there yet, but the reports came out from Israel
17:17
about the evaluation of the bodies of Kefir and of Ariel and
17:22
that they had been killed via strangulation.
17:27
And this news, of course, absolutely devastated, you know,
17:34
anybody who saw it. And, you know, the news here is
17:37
that they're terrorists who had kidnapped these children were
17:41
not taken by your typical Hamas militants.
17:43
They were taken by Gaza and civilians apparently in
17:46
plainclothes. And they were handed off to
17:47
another fringe terrorist group that was kind of loosely
17:50
controlled by Hamas, but it was not directly controlled by
17:52
Hamas. So Hamas effectively lost the
17:54
kids and they were just kidnapped, held by people with a
17:58
lot of perhaps anger and resentment and, and savagery.
18:02
And these children, these boys were ultimately killed by their
18:06
captors. So an absolutely horrific
18:10
killing and and murder of the Bebas brothers.
18:13
And then on, in addition to this, you know, there's was a
18:17
meant to be a hostage trade for hostage for passages for
18:20
Palestinian prisoners. One of the coffins was supposed
18:23
to hold the body of Sherry Cherie Bebas, the mother of the
18:27
boys. And when Israel received that
18:29
coffin and looked through and they found that it was actually
18:34
not Cherie, it was actually another unnamed, probably Gazan
18:39
woman has she did not match the DNA of any of the other
18:42
hostages. So this was not actually a
18:44
hostage. This was somebody else and
18:47
Cherie was missing. The body of Cherie was missing
18:50
and this was of course, something that enraged, as you
18:54
can understand, is the Israeli people and said, what is going
18:57
on here? Hamas is playing actual tricks
19:00
here and saying we're not going to actually get back the body of
19:02
the of the person that we said that we would.
19:05
And so there is a headline here I'm going to pull up.
19:09
Actually, this was a headline here.
19:10
IDF captors murdered children Ariel and Kiefer Bevis in cold
19:14
blood. We can pull up this headline if
19:16
you've got that, Harris. I mean, it's just it's, it's
19:21
unbelievably devastating. It's unbelievably devastating.
19:25
But in addition, the body of the mother was not actually given
19:28
back. It was an unknown unnamed Gazan
19:31
woman, apparently somebody of Arabic descent that was given by
19:34
Hamas. They just gave the debt.
19:35
They just gave Israel a dead body and expected Israel not to
19:38
notice. Of course, Israel noticed.
19:39
This is not Sharif Bibas, this is somebody else.
19:42
And so they're saying, where is Cherie's body?
19:44
And apparently today Hamas is saying we will now give Cherie's
19:47
body. We found it.
19:48
We found the body. We're going to give it back
19:49
because what they potentially would suffer would be the wrath
19:53
of Israel to say we're not going to give you any of your
19:55
Palestinian prisoners because you're not even holding up your
19:58
side of the bargain, right? So I think the the bottom line
20:01
here is that I think the tide is turning here on public opinion.
20:06
I do think that the depths of depravity that Hamas has sunk
20:11
to. In this, in the treatment of the
20:14
Bebas family has really done a number on your typical person
20:19
who is more sympathetic to the Palestinian plight and thinks
20:24
that Israel is the aggressor more so.
20:26
And they're saying this is absolutely depraved.
20:29
And it's not just depraved how Hamas is handling it.
20:32
It's depraved how this whole spectacle was put together to
20:34
celebrate basically the death of these babies.
20:36
And you had children, Palestinian children,
20:38
celebrating the death of these babies.
20:40
I think it's important to say that that's not the fault of
20:42
those Palestinian children. They are brainwashed.
20:45
They are innocent. And who knows if Hamas forced,
20:47
you know, Palestinian civilians to come out and do this song and
20:51
dance around these dead bodies of these Israelis?
20:54
Like, who knows what Hamas orchestrated?
20:56
You know, they are evil. They are pure evil.
20:58
So this is not to say that these Palestinian civilians are at
21:01
fault, but it is a fact that Gaza is in control.
21:04
Gaza is refusing to surrender. Gaza is fighting to the last
21:09
man. That's what that's how they're
21:10
fighting right now. And they're also fighting in a
21:12
way that they will literally use the human Shields of their own
21:17
children, of their own families, down to the last man instead of
21:22
surrendering to Israel and stopping the terrorism and
21:25
stopping the attacks and stopping the warfare.
21:27
And that is a horrific situation for any country to be dealing
21:32
with, right? Like, imagine the United States
21:34
having, you know, let's just imagine, for example, right?
21:36
Worst case scenario, you know, Mexico and US are at this major
21:40
war. Mexico invades America and
21:42
literally takes hostage hundreds of Americans, including little
21:46
children, and holds onto them for over a year.
21:50
And in the meantime, you know, the Mexico Mexican army is, you
21:54
know, literally hiding in tunnels under Mexico and major
21:56
cities of infrastructure where there's schools and there's
21:59
apartment buildings and there's homes and that the only way to
22:03
fight back against the Mexican army is to have to bomb their
22:07
infrastructure. But you're trying to not hurt
22:09
the civilians. You're telling civilians, please
22:11
leave. You got to leave anyways.
22:12
It would be a complete nightmare.
22:14
I mean, Can you imagine the headline news in the United
22:16
States? Can you imagine the the, the
22:18
incredible frenzy and fear and anger in the United States over
22:21
the hostages? That's just a little window into
22:24
what Israel has been dealing with, right.
22:26
And Israel is surrounded, you know, in, in America, we have
22:29
Canada, Canada, we're largely friendly with Canada.
22:31
You know, we have big oceans on either side.
22:33
Israel is surrounded by Arab majority countries, most of
22:37
which are hostile to Israel. And then it's Israel.
22:40
It's the Jewish people largely. And then Israel, you have this
22:43
democratic nation where there are Christians, Muslims and Jews
22:46
that live in peace. You know, I've traveled to
22:48
Israel. I remember going there, I guess
22:51
it was almost a decade ago, and, you know, seeing and observing
22:54
how people live in peace, Arab, Muslim, Jews, Christians, you
23:00
know, people with no religion, atheist, they live together in
23:03
peace. And there is a sense of
23:05
sharedness over this holy site that is holy to different
23:08
religions, where different religions can still go to these
23:10
different holy sites. That is spectacular that that
23:13
exists in the Middle East right now.
23:16
Imagine if it was under the control of Hamas instead.
23:20
Imagine if Israel was under the control of Hamas instead.
23:23
It would not just destroy the Society of Israel, it would
23:26
destroy the ability for Christians and Muslims and Jews
23:29
to go and peaceably live together.
23:31
Imagine that, right? So it is absolutely tragic what
23:35
is happening. And I think that it is crucial
23:38
for us in the West turn world, especially in the United States,
23:42
to look at this with clear eyes and with moral clarity because I
23:46
think there's a temptation, especially from I would say our
23:49
propagandists online to say there's a moral equivalency.
23:52
Israel's bad. They're, you know, they're bombs
23:54
have killed children. And Hamas is bad, you know,
23:56
they're obviously have killed some children.
23:57
They're both bad. But look at the history.
24:00
You know, the Palestinians need their freedom so bad, Israel,
24:03
right? I think there is this
24:04
oversimplification that can happen in the minds of some
24:07
people that are, you know, well-intentioned.
24:09
And I think what has happened here with how Hamas is handling
24:13
their horrific treatment of children and their kidnapping
24:18
and they're murdering the tide, I think is turning on this.
24:22
This is a turning point in the Hamas Israel war.
24:26
And I think Hamas will regret their savagery.
24:29
They will regret their savagery. All right, I want to say a
24:32
positive story because this is so heavy.
24:35
And, and by the way, please pray for your Jewish brothers and
24:37
sisters and pray for the children of, of Gaza.
24:40
You know, pray for the children of the West Bank.
24:41
There are children here that are at risk because of the, quite
24:45
frankly, the savagery and the pure evil in the hearts of these
24:48
terrorists who are insisting on this war.
24:51
But there was a bright, you know, bright point here in the
24:54
last 24 hours because, well, Hamas was orchestrating this
24:59
trade off of these dead babies to Israel in in exchange for
25:04
Palestinian prisoners. Hamas terrorists or Palestinian
25:09
terrorists were orchestrating a an attack on Israeli buses, the
25:15
bus system in Israel to plant bombs in multiple buses that
25:20
were supposed to go off within a similar time frame as this
25:23
hostage exchange. So meant to basically show we're
25:26
out to get you no matter what. Like you can, we can negotiate
25:28
with you, but you're not safe, Israelis, you're not safe.
25:31
They want to instill fear and horror in the hearts of
25:34
Israelis, right? So let's pull up this article.
25:36
This is from the BBC News reporting on the Hamas bus
25:39
attack in Israel. But here's the thing, the buses
25:42
that exploded in Israel, remarkably no lives were lost.
25:47
Why terrorist puts bomb in bus, wants it to be full of people so
25:52
that you can kill a bunch of people.
25:53
La La la. That did not happen.
25:56
Why? Because the terrorists who
25:58
placed the bombs in these Israeli buses messed up the time
26:04
sequencing on their little bombs.
26:06
And instead of putting it for the AM when there's a busy
26:09
commute in the morning, they accidentally put the timer for
26:11
the PM. And it happened in the night
26:14
when the bus was out of Commission and no one was on the
26:16
bus. So thanks be to God, these three
26:20
empty buses that exploded on the southern edge of Tel Aviv in
26:23
this terror attack, there were no casualties.
26:27
So this is, I think, seen as this huge miracle by many people
26:31
in Israel, even though they're, you know, it's terrifying that
26:34
that they planted these bombs. The fact that there are no
26:36
casualties, of course, is a wonderful silver lining.
26:38
There are, you know, there is good that is happening.
26:42
And also it just shows the incompetence of these
26:44
terrorists, you know, the, the the sheer cruelty and evil of
26:47
the terrorists, but also the incompetence.
26:50
OK, let's move on to this other story, guys that I saw breaking
26:53
in just the last 48 hours that I think is absolutely essential to
26:56
talk about. Guess what media virtual
27:00
blackout on this story. So there has been a lot of
27:02
headlines on the fate of the Bebas family.
27:05
God rest their souls. There's been a lot of, you know,
27:09
reporting on the Hamas, Gaza, Hamas, Israel war.
27:12
There has been almost no reporting on this story that I
27:15
need to share with you guys. So in just the last 48 hours, a
27:19
report came out from Open Doors United Kingdom that 70
27:23
Christians, men, women, and there is some reports that there
27:27
were some children even Lord have mercy were found beheaded
27:31
in a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
27:34
So this story again, I'm going to let's pull up in the open
27:38
doors reporting on it because again, almost virtual media
27:42
blackout on this story. And it's just crazy.
27:45
It's crazy how the media just can completely black out certain
27:50
stories that don't fit the narrative, right?
27:51
I mean, that's what it is. They're, they don't, they don't
27:53
think it fits the narrative so they just black it out.
27:56
Harris, if you can pull up this article from open doors, I just
27:59
shot it over to you. 70 Christians found beheaded in a
28:02
church in the Democratic Republic of Congo Christians in
28:06
the Democratic Republic public of Congo have again been left
28:09
reeling after heinous fact of violence has left 70 believers
28:12
dead. Please pray for our brothers and
28:14
sisters as they are facing increasing escalating
28:18
persecution. And it says that around last
28:22
Thursday around 4:00 AM, suspected militants from the
28:24
Allied Democratic Forces, which is a group with ties to ISIS,
28:29
the Islamic State. So this is a terrorist group
28:33
connected with ISIS, approached homes in the Maba and and
28:37
territory of Libero saying get out, get out, don't make any
28:39
noise. They captured 20 Christian men
28:42
and women. After that, the local community
28:45
was trying to figure out how to release them.
28:47
The ADF militants came back and captured 50 more believers.
28:51
All of the 70 hostages kidnapped.
28:54
Victims were taken to a church where they were then killed.
28:58
So this report has come out and it's going, you know, viral on
29:02
social media. People are talking about this,
29:04
but you go to the media reports and this is what I want to go to
29:07
next. So if you go to Google News,
29:08
just as an example, and you type in Democratic Republic of Congo
29:11
beheadings, 'cause these people were beheaded, you can see the
29:16
complete lack of reporting. You see Open Doors, their
29:19
original report that they did. You see Newsweek reporting on
29:23
it. So kudos to Newsweek.
29:24
And this just happened yesterday.
29:26
So the original Open Doors report happened three days ago.
29:28
Newsweek waits two days, comes out with a story.
29:31
World magazine just came out with a story yesterday.
29:33
That's virtually it. The only other stories covering
29:37
this are these very obscure reports from some other
29:40
countries, like the modern Tokyo Times.
29:42
You don't see the mainstream media here.
29:44
You don't see Reuters, you don't see The Associated Press, you
29:47
don't see the New York Times, you don't see the Washington
29:49
Post. You don't see the Atlantic.
29:50
You don't see any of the major news publications from the
29:54
United States or even went in Western media.
29:56
You don't see the BBC. They are not reporting on this.
29:59
Why? Why is Christian persecution not
30:02
being reported on? Perhaps because it doesn't fit
30:05
the narrative, right? It doesn't fit the narrative
30:09
that the mainstream media likes, which is a narrative that
30:13
doesn't like to, especially doesn't like to showcase Islamic
30:17
persecution of Christians. This is something that Europe,
30:22
many people in Europe have been dealing with, with the
30:24
increasing attacks being done by many of them Islamic migrants to
30:31
come into a lot of northern European countries.
30:34
They immigrate there and they're trying to be very peaceable the
30:38
country and say, well, we want to welcome the immigrants,
30:40
welcome the migrants. So we're going to welcome these,
30:43
you know, Muslims from Pakistan, and we're going to welcome
30:45
these, you know, these, you know, Muslim men, whatever they
30:49
are. And then there's an increasing
30:51
number of terrorist attacks as well as things like rapes that
30:55
are happening and happening in many of these European
30:58
countries. And the media reporting on it is
31:01
often, no, it's just not even reporting, bothering to report
31:06
what is happening because the narrative is one that the
31:08
mainstream media is so afraid of, which is that there is
31:11
Islamic terrorist and other crime and attacks that are
31:16
happening in a typically Christian Western world, even
31:20
though we're mostly a post Christian, often a Christian or
31:23
Christian values Western world. And then in addition to that,
31:26
there's specific terror attacks that are specifically targeting
31:29
Christians for their faith, like in the Democratic Republic of
31:32
Congo. So when you look at some of
31:34
these statistics on Christian persecution, it's deeply, deeply
31:40
eye opening to see it. And again, a lot of people just
31:43
don't know this about the fact that Christians are being so
31:46
persecuted. As an example, according to
31:50
groups that track Christian persecution, more than 13
31:54
Christians are killed each day for their faith.
31:58
This is on average 13 Christians globally are killed daily for
32:01
their faith. So Christian martyrdom is
32:03
happening as we speak. And nearly 300,000 Christians
32:07
are forced to flee their homes to escape violence and
32:09
persecution each year, again, targeted because they are
32:12
Christian. So it can be very easy in the
32:15
Western world to have this full sense of security that, you
32:18
know, especially here in the United States, we're pretty
32:19
protected from persecution, from terrorism, things like that.
32:22
Thanks be to God for us to forget the experience, not just
32:28
of, you know, families in Israel as an example, we were talking
32:30
about the Bebis family earlier, but the experience of Christians
32:33
are Christian brothers and sisters in places like the
32:36
Democratic Republic of Congo. So all of this, it can be very
32:42
painful to consider, but I think there's an action item for us
32:45
here, guys. The action item is to spread
32:48
awareness and be the voice for those that are persecuted.
32:51
I mean, especially our persecuted brothers and sisters.
32:54
And the other action item that I think we should all do it, I
32:56
think it should be a daily prayer that we pray for those of
32:58
us who are people of faith is that we pray for the persecuted
33:03
church, we pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters
33:06
in Christ. And that is something that, you
33:09
know, I think we should daily be praying for an end to abortion.
33:12
And I think we should daily be praying for the persecuted
33:15
church for an end to Christian persecution.
33:18
And So what I'm going to do here is we're going to end this live.
33:20
And again, heavy stuff, but important to know about.
33:22
We're going to end this live with a decade from the chaplet
33:26
of Divine Mercy. We've done this on.
33:28
We are especially doing this guys, if you remember, during
33:30
the lives during the election season, because stuff was so
33:32
crazy and heavy. But now we're going to do it
33:34
today. And we're also going to be just
33:35
praying for the remaining hostages in Gaza who are still
33:40
awaiting freedom. We're going to be praying for
33:43
the Bebis family and the, you know, anguish, of course, that
33:51
that they're the, the relatives and the, the father, the husband
33:54
are feeling over the absolute atrocities that they have
33:58
endured. And we're also going to pray for
34:02
all children, innocent children and innocent people, whether
34:05
it's in Gaza, the West Bank, or anywhere around the world who
34:09
are in danger of being targeted and harmed.
34:12
So let's pull up our chaplain of Divine Mercy.
34:15
You guys know this drill and we're going to start as, as you
34:20
guys might know, Chocolate of Divine Mercy is asking for God's
34:22
mercy on the world, particularly through Jesus Christ.
34:26
He is the Savior. He is the source of mercy, the
34:29
source of hope for us. So we do 1 opening prayer and
34:33
then ten small prayers after that as a forming A decade.
34:38
So the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is made-up of five decades and
34:41
we're going to be praying one decade.
34:43
So we're going to pray in the name of the Father and of the
34:45
Son of the Holy Spirit. Eternal Father, Ioffer you the
34:48
body and blood, soul and divinity of your dearly beloved
34:52
Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those
34:55
of the whole world. And then ten of these prayers.
34:59
For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on
35:02
the whole world. For the sake of His sorrowful
35:05
Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
35:09
For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on
35:12
the whole world. For the sake of his sorrowful
35:14
passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
35:17
For the sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on
35:20
the whole world. For the sake of his sorrowful
35:23
passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
35:26
For the sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on
35:29
the whole world. For the sake of his sorrowful
35:31
passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
35:34
For the sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on
35:37
the whole world. For the sake of his sorrowful
35:38
passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
35:39
The Father and Son of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
35:41
And let's put this link in the bio actually here so that people
35:44
can pray the rest of the chaplet.
35:45
I highly recommend it. I think it's very beautiful.
35:48
I'm just going to take a quick look at the chat before you wrap
35:50
up here, guys. Rodger Moreno is saying, I
35:53
legitimately feel sad for these people.
35:55
Imagine being brainwashed from birth to grave.
35:57
He's talking about the Palestinian civilians who were
35:59
kind of cheering with the with the parading of the coffins of
36:04
the Israeli victims. Roger says Completely and
36:07
utterly brainwashed. It's a tragedy how far gone
36:09
these people really are. Yes, it's a deep tragedy.
36:12
I completely agree. Arthur says thanks to Lila for
36:15
broadcasting these things that the MSN obscures.
36:18
You got it. That is part of my job, Arthur.
36:21
So thank you for being here. Hey, sits with Sarah, Sips with
36:24
Sarah is here. He says we can sympathize with
36:26
the innocent people in Gaza who are affected by this, including
36:29
Christians, while still acknowledging that Israel is
36:32
justified in defending itself. 100% and agree.
36:35
And John Henry says I think more people should talk about the
36:38
Palestinian Christians. That has frustrated me.
36:41
I don't think Israel has been great in this.
36:44
There have been, there was a small group of Palestinian
36:47
Christians, some of them who were killed, some of them who
36:50
are effectively refugees. Yes, we should pray for them.
36:53
We should pray for their protection.
36:55
And of course, I understand the debate about Israel's response,
36:58
but I would always ask people, what do you expect Israel to do?
37:01
What is the response in urban warfare when you must defeat the
37:04
enemy that's threatening to defeat, but they are using human
37:07
Shields, They are hiding under, you know, apartment buildings,
37:11
under schools. How do you engage in that urban
37:13
warfare? And I do think the amount of
37:16
attack that Israel could have done on Gaza, I mean, think
37:20
about the United States attacking Nagasaki, dropping a
37:23
nuclear bomb on Nagasaki, just obliterating of Nagasaki, not
37:27
defending that. But the US, the US did that to
37:29
try to end the war against Japan, right?
37:32
Israel hasn't done that. They haven't dropped an atomic
37:34
bomb on flattened all of Gaza. Obviously they're, they're not
37:37
trying to destroy everything and everyone.
37:39
They're trying to destroy Hamas. But it's very, very difficult to
37:42
do. And so I'm not saying that
37:43
they've been perfect, but I am saying that it's a very, very
37:46
hard job. And so those that are very
37:48
critical of Israel, I understand the the compassion that we
37:51
should have for those that are being injured and and harmed,
37:54
the civilian casualties. But what is the solution?
37:57
I think the bottom line here is Hamas needs to be rooted out.
38:00
Hamas cannot be in control. They're not good for the
38:02
Palestinians. They're certainly deadly for the
38:04
Israelis. They cannot be in control.
38:06
And so let's pray. Let's pray for the surrendering
38:09
and the vanquishing of Hamas, and let's pray for peace in the
38:12
Middle East. All right, guys.
38:13
Thanks so much for joining this live and we will see you all
38:17
next time.
