Excerpt of a shiur given by Rav Berland on January 27, 2025

[Senncheriv] took his army from the whole world, two billion [soldiers].

Today, the world is 7.5 billion, he took soldiers from across the whole world. He said tomorrow, everyone will spit [over the walls of Jerusalem], it’s enough one spit, we’ll drown it in spit. We will Jerusalem up with two billions spits, Jerusalem will be drowned in spittle. We don’t even need to fight them. But I’ll still bring them horses, I’ll bring them MiGs, I’ll bring them tanks, I’ll supply them with everything.

This was a good king, not like Biden, who didn’t send weapons.

He said, I’ll send you weapons, as many as you want.

Now, Trump agrees [to send weapons], inasmuch as they will stop the war, and everything. He is also going after Biden, but now, he’s agreeing to send us a bit.

[During the war] planes flew without bombs, it’s already 15 months of war, everything is used up. Always, a war is three weeks, the most. Yom Kippur was three weeks, it started on Yom Kippur and finished on Hoshana Rabba, it was already finished. We had already beaten them, gomarnu.

==

And the Six Days – this lasted six days. By the Jews, it goes one, two. In six days, we conquered the whole of Eretz Yisrael.

In 11 days, [during the Yom Kippur War] we’d already routed the Egyptians.

[Someone in the audience says that the war in Ukraine has been going for three years.]

Ukraine – Putin didn’t succeed in anything.

Already it’s three years, and he didn’t advance a millimeter, he just goes backwards. He already fired a rocket at Uman, blew up a whole building there, how many, 26 people were killed there. Breslov wants to save them, in the merit of the Breslovers, nothing is working for him [i.e. Putin].

[In Israel] in the Six Days War, they conquered the whole of Eretz Yisrael.

In 11 days they kicked out the Egyptians, and [the IDF] got to 101 kilometres [from Cairo]. They got across the Canal within 11 days, and already helicopters were coming with bombs. Because [the Egyptians] had Patten [tanks], Patten is a Russian tank, and we had the Fiat and Sherman [tanks].

[Turning to someone in the audience] You were in the army, Sherman – Fiat got cracked like a nut, but the Patten needed something different. RPGs, today RPGs blow apart everything, every make of tank. They put an explosive charge, the tank flies in the air, up to the moon. They put a charge of half a ton, a ton.

==

[After we conquered Jabaliyah at a very heavy price, now because of the agreement to return the hostages] they are leaving Jabaliyah, they are leaving there, and that’s it. In the meantime, they are putting explosive charges on the roads again. They have a week of time, and now if the tanks come, they will explode into the air, they’ll fly in the air, as though the tank is made of paper.

As though it’s made of cardboard.

Why are they leaving? Why are they going in?

==

But they say: Hamas is a boobie.

Now, those [hostages] who were freed, called them ‘workers for peace’, and so on. They made balloons [that they were going to send into Gaza with messages of peace, like] we love you.

They [the terrorists on Simchat Torah] just came to get the balloons.

On Simchat Torah at 6am, they arranged to release them [the balloons] – you are our brothers, we love you!

And they came to take the balloons, like that, without permission, all of this was from their tremendous love for us, of course, it’s written that love conquers everything, from such tremendous love.

So, they came to get their balloons.

==

Everyone there is the most ‘left’.

Those kibbutzim [in the Gaza envelope] – this is the left of the left of the left of the left.

There, everyone is already married to a non-Jew, everything, there’s already no ‘Am Yisrael’. Nothing. “You voted” – the datiim (religious Jews), this is the problem, not the Hamas. Hamas is a boobie, the sweetest of sweet.

The datiim shout ‘you voted’, there is Am Yisrael.

[But they claim that] Am Yisrael is finished. Am Yisrael used to be a thing, in the past. But we are progressive, this is progress, there is progressiveness and advancing. Progress is to advance.

There is Lieberman, who is hofshi, everything is permitted, and there are democrats, and this is the worst. This is the greatest dictatorship, there is no greater dictatorship. There is one person [the attorney general] – she is the greatest dictator. Everything is her.

She cancelled everything.

Now, they took a judge who is the most […], made him the head judge. The most […]! This demonstrates that everything is corrupt, everything is lies, everything! There is no ‘court of justice’, there is nothing.

It’s the most corrupt state from all the countries.
