David Rubin says the peace will last... at least he hopes it does

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Alabama's Morning News. I'm JT. David Rubin joins us now
a regular guest. He is in Israel, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel,
and after this deal has been cut and we look
forward to the hostages coming back and being released. David Rubin,
welcome in, Thanks for being here. You've got to be ecstatic.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
You're not tell me why.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well, Look, every Israeli, or virtually every Israeli except for
those Arab Israelis who are against the state of Israel
at all, almost every Israeli is excited that the terrorists
are coming home. That excuse me, excuse me, Freudian slip there. Everyone,

(00:48):
every Israeli virtually is excited that all of the hostages,
all of the captives that Hamas has been holding captivity,
those the living hostages, along with the twenty eight already
murdered hostages, that they're going to be coming home. We're

(01:10):
excited about that. We are not excited that we have
to release as part of this deal, two hundred and
fifty Commas terrorists who have murdered Israelis or have wounded
Israeli civilians. We're not happy about that, and we're not

(01:30):
happy about the other one thousand, seven hundred Commas terrorists
who've been arrested since the October seventh massacre that are
still in Israeli jails. We're not happy that they have
to be released either. What we're doing is giving is

(01:51):
reinforcing the infrastructure of commasen and that's something I can't
be excited about.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, I certainly understand that it seemed a bit out
of balance in that the deal was cut to you know,
get the small amount of hostages released, which is good,
right you said it, But also, wow, two thousand, close
to twenty eighteen hundred, whatever the number is as far
as bad guys that are being released. And President Trump said,

(02:18):
you know, this is a NET and Yahoo's decision here,
you know, And we had a representative here saying, look,
I certainly don't agree with that, but I respect the
decision to be made by them to do that. Your
thoughts on NET and Yahoo's decision on that, And you know,
we pretty much here in the United States have always

(02:39):
had the line and we don't negotiate with terrorists, but
all kinds of deals are cut globally, and prisoner exchanges
have happened before. So you know, what would you have
told net and Yahoo if you were sitting at the
table before this deal was cut.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Continue the war, Continue the war until Kamas is totally
wiped out. Rescue the hostages, and rescue the hostages. Then
you can make a very limited deal where we are
giving we're being given back all of the hostages, and

(03:19):
we're giving them a similar amount of terrorists. And you know,
we have to give a little bit more terrorists, so
we give a little bit more terrorists because obviously the
hostages lifes are worth a lot more than those savages
who carried out the massacre in October seventh. But I

(03:42):
would keep it very limited and if they don't want
to make a deal, so they don't want to make
it a deal, but putting Israel into a situation where
we're demanding the hamass laying down their arms, but they
are demanding that they will only hand over their arms

(04:03):
to the Palestinian authority, which after all, pays terrorists every
single month for killing or murdering in Israeli. So I
just don't think it's a great deal. I'm happy to
see the hostages come home, yes, but I think we
have to be realistic about the savages that we are

(04:26):
dealing with.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Here one hundred percent, and there are a lot of
people that just don't trust them in the long run.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Here.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I mean, the Palestinian people have had their hopes dashed before,
and the concern is that, Okay, they'll agree for a
week or two or months or you know, maybe six
months to a year, and then all of a sudden,
you know, whack them all. Here they come again, you know,
in full force, wanting to execute the infidels and the
Jewish people like they did on October seventh, two years ago.

(04:54):
So yeah, there's certainly that lack of trust that will
always be there. But with this said, you know, it
did stop the war as well. I mean, this is
not just a hostage deal. This is the end of
the conflict in the war for now and so many people.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes, but but I'm sorry, I'm sorry for interrupting you. JT. No,
stopping the war in this case is not a good thing.
When you have a just war, you don't look to
stop it. When the when the Allies were starting to
win against Nazi Germany and their allies, it wasn't the

(05:36):
time to stop the war. The time to stop the
war was when they put up the white flags, and
Hitler went into hiding because he was scared for his life.
And that is that is when when you could possibly
start talking about stopping a war. You don't stop a
war until the enemy surrenders, and especially when you're dealing

(05:57):
with such a savage enemy as the war. And we're
talking about and by the way, the countries that are
the so called mediators other than the United States, Katar,
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey. These are radical Muslim countries

(06:18):
that not only want to see the destruction of Israel,
but also want to see the destruction of the United
States as a Judeo Christian nation. They are Muslims, they
are radical Muslims, and they play a very slick game.
And unfortunately, I think, you know, from what I can see,

(06:41):
according to this deal, President Trump is a little bit
naive about their real intentions. Well either, I just don't
understand it.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, point well taken on finishing the war as opposed
to stopping in the middle of it, because they realize
they're about to be an annihilated and they avoid their own
annihilation at this point and say all right, we'll do this.
But yeah, you're right, This was not similar to the
way we've ended wars before. And I hope that we
continue our war on terrorism around the globe and this

(07:14):
doesn't just end here. I mean I ran behind all
of this, and as you said, those other countries that
help supply the money to these terrorists organizations, Yeah, that
fight does need to continue. Well, David, I appreciate you.
You want to learn more about what David's all about.
