I met Charlie Kirk later in his life. You know, I admired this guy, he's actually brilliant, I loved what he did on campuses, and, you know, he was a great supporter of Israel and the Jewish people in general. He himself came out to me and expressed his concerns about this very issue, saying, "Listen, let's get together, the younger generation of conservative social media influencers." Why invest financially in the State of Israel?
Let's listen to Mr. Bill Aman, a businessman and philanthropist, who will answer this question. The mirror image of what we describe on the left is what many call the " woke right." This is appropriate for me now, as the trial of Charlie Kirk's killer began two days ago, I think it's called preliminary hearings.
Many of these people, first of all, hate Jews. And then they used the murder of Charlie Kirk to attack many Jews, including you , as well as Israel, claiming that you and Israel were involved in this conspiracy. But in court, in the first two days, all conspiracy theories were almost completely refuted.
The fact that they thought it would bring them clicks, fame, and popularity, in my opinion, proves that the problem may exist among the right as well. Can you talk a little bit about your feelings about this and having your name involved in this story? So, I met Charlie Kirk later in his life. You know, I admired this guy.
He's actually brilliant, I loved what he did on campuses, and, you know, he was a great supporter of Israel and the Jewish people in general. He himself came out to me and expressed his concerns about this very issue, saying, "Listen, let's get together, the younger generation of conservative social media influencers, and let's discuss a lot of the things that concern me." Do you know why the marriage rate is falling ?
Why don't people have children? You know, the economy. He wanted me to organize a panel discussion on economics. And he said, "Let's also talk about Israel. Let's talk about it frankly." So, we spent it, uh, in Bridgehampton at a hotel. And by hosting, I mean we paid for people's travel and hotel accommodations.
I thought it was a worthwhile endeavor . And I actually just came to listen. Unfortunately, I had a board meeting. I did miss the session on Israel, but you know, other people I know well were there, and there was a lot of discussion, but no one scolded Charlie for supporting Israel. This was a younger generation that, frankly, was tired of talking about Israel.
That was one of the things they said. And after that, you know, Charlie... I thought it was a great opportunity to spend a day and a half with him. And we agreed to meet and spend more time together. But at no point was he threatened by me or anyone else, and he was, you know, clearly concerned about, as you say, the "vouk" right .
Yes. What do you think about what they use, for example, this murder? What do you think...is this... is this madness? This is madness. And I think that the real benefit of this trial is that it put an end to a lot of these conspiracy theories. Yes. Okay, I want to ask you one last thing before I let you go.
So, Benjamin Netanyahu is being used, even though I didn't vote for any of the coalition parties. I say this so people don't think I'm justifying him , but I want to know your opinion. Many Jewish Democrats told me when I was in the US and gave many interviews that the main thing they were saying was: Benjamin Netanyahu has destroyed bipartisan support for Israel.
If Netanyahu were different, if he were a little less confrontational when he spoke to Congress about Obama's first JCPOA deal, and if he were a little, I would say, more accommodating to the left wing, supporting Israel would be easier. Do you think like a person who survived October 7? I believe that objectively after October 7th, it shouldn't even have been an issue, because it wasn't Netanyahu; it was all of Israel that was attacked and all that.
So, how would you, is there any truth in your view of this conversation? Listen, I think the problem for Netanyahu is that the coalition includes people like Smutrich, Ben-Gvir, etc., who I think are very damaging with their extreme statements and policies on what should happen in Gaza, the West Bank, etc.
The fact that they are part of the administration, part of the coalition, so to speak, I consider Netanyahu's biggest problem, which is damaging to his reputation and the reputation of Israel. And their statements are ultimately widely quoted and used to tarnish the country's reputation. And, you know, if Netanyahu had a broad coalition that would be more moderate.
I think he could be more effective in building better relationships with a broader coalition of Americans. Thank you, Mr. Bill Ackman, for your assurances and explanations from a business perspective of why you believe Israel is not only the future but also the present, why you have invested so much in it, and why we see countries around the world investing billions in Israel.
even though it is constantly surrounded by seven war fronts. The sworn enemy , the axis of evil, Iran, wakes up every morning chanting: " Death to America, death to Israel." So , you've been asked the question: why would anyone invest financially when there's a country that's constantly under attack and where there's so much unknown?
and investments. You need to have a vision of what the future holds. But the way you answered is spot on. Israel has an incredible future, and the way to evaluate an investment is to look at past performance, and then you can understand what the future will be like. Look at what has happened in the past 78 years since Israel was re -declared a state in 1948.
After 2000 years, the land of Israel was a plundered, desolate, neglected, and abandoned property in the Middle East. Nobody really did anything about it. It was full of swamps. The lands were unusable, impossible to cultivate. In 1948, when the United Nations declared that the Jewish people had the right to a homeland, to return to their home after 2,000 years, the Jews who came to Israel did not come as victims after the horrors of the Holocaust, where a third of our nation was systematically exterminated .
They did not come to Israel as victims. They came to Israel as pioneers. They rolled up their sleeves and took over the barren, neglected land, turning villages into cities and the country into a first- world power. Today, Israel is the only democracy in the entire Middle East. Of the nine million citizens living there, two million are Arabs who would rather live in Israel than anywhere else.
And Israel protects them just like it does the other 7 million. Over the past 78 years, Israel has shown the world that it has not only been able to transform this amazing land into a thriving economy, but is also at the forefront of every field: agriculture, education, food processing, water desalination, medical products, surgery , medical and pharmaceutical advances, computer technology, travel, communications, the arts; This list can be continued indefinitely.
The world looks to Israel, waiting for the next innovations. Today, especially with the development of AI, Israel is a leader. That is why Mr. Bill Ekman said that the world feels very confident investing in Israel. I will give you another perspective, from the perspective of the Jewish Torah. This is the only country in the world that God said His eyes are on Israel from the beginning of the year to the very end.
In the book of Deuteronomy, God says these words in the Torah that God's eyes are always on Israel. When God's eyes are on Israel, you know Israel will succeed. So get in line, invest in Israel, your returns will be great not only economically, but also spiritually. You will be helping a country that is an epicenter of spirituality, holiness, and exists to sustain the world.
Israel follows the motto. He does not ask what the world can do for Israel, but what Israel can do for the world. And Israel has done so much for the world, as we all know, especially through the Abraham Accords, made during Trump's first term. Those Arab countries that have already signed the Abrahamic covenants have reaped enormous benefits for their citizens, far greater than they could have imagined.
We pray and hope that once Iran returns to the state it was in before 1979, where the people of Iran can elect their own government and establish democracy, have their own bill of rights and constitution that restores their religious freedoms, human rights, women's rights, 93 million people will be free.
The entire Middle East will become a peaceful place. Let's pray to God that this happens as soon as possible. God bless you.
