00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:05.280
This is Ken Mercer of Mercer Moments in American History.
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:13.519
Today I'm doing a special report on the anniversary or the memorial of October 7th, the year 2023.
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:22.239
What I and many people call the second Holocaust, October 7th, the year 2023, in the nation of Israel.
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:34.479
This is important to me because my fear is people will and perhaps already denied it even happened or somehow place the blame on this massacre on Israel.
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:45.920
I'm wondering this year, this October 7th, what will our colleges and universities, what would they teach our children and our grandchildren about what happened on October 7th?
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:57.359
Will they at least baseline and say that the terrorist organization Hamas, funded by Iran, they launched a huge, a well-coordinated attack on Israel.
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.159
There were 2,200 rockets that fell in the first 20 minutes.
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:08.159
2,200 rockets fell in the first 20 minutes, over 5,000 on Tory.
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:17.200
They killed 1,200 Israeli citizens and wounded 3,400 children, women, and men.
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:25.599
And then Hamas took 240 children, women, men as hostages.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.079
Will our colleges and universities at least baseline and share those facts?
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:50.719
And that's why October 7th, what I saw about, God help us, as you saw the next day, within a few days after that, across our college campuses, across our nation, young people were out there protesting against Israel, and some of those already denying that it had happened.
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.799
Denying that it happened.
00:01:53.040 --> 00:02:01.040
This is so sad, but let's go back and let's talk about what happened that day, that October 7th.
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:08.080
It was the supernova Sukkot Gathering, also known as the Nova Music Festival.
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:09.199
This is important.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:10.400
It was a Jewish holiday.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:29.520
Now, many of the Israeli Defense Forces, the IDF, were on leave during this holiday, but the IDF had their attention focused on Israel's northern border, where tensions were with the fighting of the terrorist Hezbollah organization, also funded by guess who?
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.479
Iran.
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:37.439
And Gaza was on the southern strip bordering Egypt, and the terrorist organization there was Hamas.
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:45.199
October 7th was also the day after the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War.
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:54.479
That's the war where Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack to destroy Israel on October 6th, 1973.
00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.400
So you have a good level set of what was happening, what was happening that day.
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.759
They were funded by Iran.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:15.599
And now the terrorists on the southern border, Hamas, the Gaza Strip border and Egypt, were also funded by Iran.
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.560
Now you should know this is not a political comment.
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:19.919
It's an historical fact.
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:31.599
The President Biden, Vice President Harris administration of the United States had just freed up, freed up$8 to$10 billion with a B,$8 to$10 billion for Iran.
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:36.479
And of course, politicians and people like you and me said, well, they're going to use that money for terrorism.
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:48.080
They said, no, we have a verbal agreement that$8 to$10 billion will be humanitarian aid for Iran, for food and water, for new schools and hospitals.
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.879
None of that money would go to terrorism.
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:59.439
Well, all of a sudden, Iran was funding terrorism in the north, Hezbollah, and terrorism in the south of Israel, Hamas.
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:09.919
But at this music festival, they saw these rockets, and then they saw that these men on these expensive gliders flowing into the music festival.
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:16.800
These men had weapons, and they were firing on a civilian population and killing all they could.
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.079
And the stories that came out in there were horrendous.
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:33.600
See the British broadcasting from the Israeli network, Israeli police forces from forensic scientists, from other people that give us a lot more detail that I'm afraid we're not seeing in a place called the United States of America.
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:40.079
But the BBC said that they had evidence of rape, sexual violence, and mutilation of women.
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:51.600
Another report said multiple signs of sexual assault, including broken pelvis, victims ranged from children to teenagers to what the British call pensioners.
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.040
Pensioners is a title, I guess, retired people.
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:06.160
And there is video testimony from Hamas, their cell phones and their own body cameras of what had happened to mutilate people, cut off body parts, and then execute them.
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:07.600
And it was systematic.
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:14.000
What I personally call, I have a term called EDS, E, evil, D demonic, S satanic.
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.319
It was evil, demonic, satanic.
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:24.720
The Hamas had gone into homes, the small homes, and taken the whole family in there and tortured and then executed the whole family.
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:53.360
I'd like to share more about, you know how horrible it was, but here's the consortium part was in the next few days, across our colleges and universities, and not one or two, across our nation, there were protests going up against Israel, and many students denying that it even happened, denying that 1,200 people were tortured and murdered,

assassinated, executed, and 251 were taken hostage.
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.600
What's wrong with these students?
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:03.600
The reports of families of their loved ones could be a son, a daughter, brother, a sister, mother, father, grandparent.
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:09.600
They had posters on the East Coast, we saw them in the subways, the bus stations, other areas.
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.480
We're looking for a loved one, pray for them.
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.879
And we had people, and you saw it, you're an eyewitness.
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.600
College students coming by.
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.399
Females was the most concerning to me.
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:32.480
And one by one tearing down those posters, denying that it happened, or somehow implying it was deserved.
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.519
And we even have politicians in America.
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:40.160
When you talk about October 7, 2023, what is wrong with these people?
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.240
How can they even be in office?
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.000
Are they insane?
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:52.319
Or the what I call, I have another term, I call it fleas FLZ, the F far left zombie syndrome.
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.319
No matter what you show them, you can't change their minds.
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.000
No matter what they see, and we hear students that way.
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:08.480
And when I see all these campuses all of a sudden across the country had Palestinian flags, Hamas flags.
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.160
Where did that come from?
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:11.839
Who paid for that?
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.759
Who's making Palestinian flags?
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:18.720
What is the demand for Palestinian flags or Hamas memorabilia?
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.360
And yet we saw it across the nation.
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.199
I'm just so saddened about this.
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:30.959
And if see what's happening October 7, 2023, what would our colleges and universities say this week?
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.199
You know, I usually wear a college gorb.
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:42.000
You know, if you see my program before a certain university and give a shout out, but I'm giving a shout-out today to our Jewish students in America.
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.120
They need our encouragement, they need our prayers.
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:53.439
When I see on campus how they're being attacked on campus, attacked in the buses, attacked in the subways, attacked in the airports.
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:54.959
What is going on?
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:04.720
And I find some of my friends, you know, Christian students who are standing with their brothers and sisters, their Jewish brothers and sisters, and now they're being targeted also.
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:10.639
You know, there's a there's a country where students are afraid to wear the Star of David.
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:18.480
There's a country where some kids are afraid even to wear the cross of Christ on campus and stand with their Jewish friends.
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:23.600
And that country, that's not somewhere in Africa, that is not somewhere in the Middle East.
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.879
That is a place called the United States of America.
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:34.720
That should never, never, never happen in our country, but it's happening as I speak.
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.960
This is Ken Mercer of Mercer Moments in American History.
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:44.399
Again, today, my shout out is to all the Jewish students here in America.
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:53.679
There are people who will stand with you, who want to encourage you, who love you and pray for you, and there are a lot of Christian students out there doing the same thing.
00:08:54.240 --> 00:09:03.679
Without apologies, I will say there are some churches and some ministers and pastors and priests who need to get off your blessed assurance.
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:08.159
Get off your blessed assurance and stand for something.
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:10.480
This is wrong.
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:16.559
This is evil by anybody's definition, and this is terrorism.
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:22.240
I can't explain what happened October 7, 2023.
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:23.919
And some of you would say, Mr.
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.200
Mercer, where was God?
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:26.320
God was there.
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.720
And God gave us free will to make our own choices.
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.240
And some people made a very evil choice.
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:35.600
Very evil.
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:37.840
Thank you.
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.120
God bless you.
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:40.480
God protect you.
