I am watching the video and a few things have jumped out at me (and I'm only 9 minutes into it).
  • He claims to be a native born Israeli (Hebrew is his native language).  9 minutes into the video he says he was in Synagogue davening (praying) and he had no idea what the men were saying.   ????????????

    Jews pray in Hebrew.  If he is native born Israeli how could he not know what they were saying when they were speaking in his native tongue???  Is it possible because his family were Iraqi that he didn't really learn Hebrew but spoke Arabic?
  • He claims (earlier) that he had no idea what a gentile was until he was 17.  Then he says someone gave him a shield with a big red cross on it when he was 7 and he panicked.   Um, why?  If he didn't know what a Christian WAS why would a cross upset him?Let me go back to listening to the video. . .

ROTFLOL!!! Yeah comments like those are such dead giveaways. Besides those weird comments, his claim that "hayom" means "eternal", and thus Psalm 2:7 "today", hayom, means an eternal messiah, one that exists eternally, etc. LOL. Talk about taking the pshat and running opposite way with it...
