AI GeneratedThe speaker expresses deep disappointment and shock that Benjamin Netanyahu maintains strong political support despite the events of October 7th. They criticize the current government's actions in the West Bank, warning that its continuation harms Israel and the global Jewish community, while remaining personally optimistic about life and friendship.
I'm scared and a little disappointed.
I thought that after the 7th of October,
people would realize that Bibi is, he can't change
and he can't stay in the government.
I'm shocked.
I'm shocked Bibi got as many votes
as he got after everything that's happened, especially
October 7th.
What's going on in the West Bank with Ben Gvir and Smotrich is awful.
It's bad for Israel.
bad for American Jews.
It's going to hurt everybody if this government continues.
So I'm hopeful that the opposition, so to speak,
manages to put together a coalition.
You see the sun is shining.
The seashore is very, very nice. The life is very nice.
I have the best friend in my life.
So look at them. So we are very optimistic.
Nothing will break us. Nothing.
People here are split right in the middle.
And people don't like changes.
They feel comfortable if it is bad.
And this government is a government that is created by crime
and continues to be a government of crime, if it will be.
