Special forces of Israel

Wegener had personally witnessed the Munich Massacre and intends on making GSG 9 one of the premier special forces units in the world.

The members of GSG-9 undergo intense training and receive instruction from both Israeli Special Forces and the British SAS.

Wegener himself spent four weeks training with an Israeli parachute brigade in order to build GSG-9 into a versatile and deadly force.

Its personnel were the distinct green berets, usually reserved for the elite units of the West German Army.

Well, I'll give you an example from my work as an officer, right? You know, and we know this well as Israelis.

You always have, you have what's called, you have the Sayeret, and then you have the, you always have the, you know, you have your...

The Sayeret is the

combat, like the special forces.

No, they're the first, they're the first that go, you know, the first line.

And where exactly? In Molenbeek.

neighborhood in Brussels where even an Israeli special forces team would have trouble going there.

Funny enough, the production team had the trouble going there.

So they actually did not shoot in Molenbeek.

And yes, there are heroic stories of people who never broke, and that's unusual and rare, but it happens.

But almost everybody does break.

And look – Israeli Special Forces and American Special Forces, CIA, and the Nazis, not to compare them morally, were not a waste of their time with torture if it didn't work.

Now,

And certainly, I've never, I haven't met anyone that I think is more skilled at actually fighting than he has, but I haven't met, you know, I don't go to the MMA circuits and hang out with those people, so I have no idea.

But in terms of everyone I've ever met in the various martial arts worlds, and, you know, he's worked with the Israeli Special Forces, the Russians, the U.S. Special Forces.

You know, Kujanbao is truly a once-in-a-generation talent Both naturally skilled, incredible work ethic, very intelligent, never drank, and so he had no distractions.

Truly very fortunate to have seen what Yin style Bagua was in this 70 at the time, 73, 74, 75-year-old body.

You know, here in the United States, friends, people that I know, what they go through for training, the sacrifices they make are incredible.

And so when I found out about this story that, about an Israeli Special Forces operator who was part of this extraction that took place and brought the four h- hostages back safely, but ultimately gave his life due to the risks of the operation, I saw a lot of the media being produced by Al Jazeera and other, uh, more liberal-leaning outlets, and they basically bashed this entire operation.

Uh, they said, you know, Israel should have never gone in and rescued their hostages.

One of the UN departments even wrote, you know, this condemnation of how they, dare they go in and kill Palestinian civilians w- who we know the majority were actually Hamas.

Yes.

Where Israeli Special Forces had been tracking with intelligence for many months on the ground, which, by the way, the U.S. intelligence helped on the front end of this operation.

And when the situations were right, they had moved a couple of the hostages above ground, which changed the environment and made a tactical solution to getting those hostages viable.

And so that's the story of Operation Arnon in my documentary.

So here's what the official story is saying right now is that Two pilots on a fly-to-buy flight got into an altercation inside the cockpit, and one of the pilots stabbed the other pilot.

The plane then went into freefall for 20,000 feet, but thanks to the harrowing actions of some Israeli special forces who just happened to be on the plane, they were able to break into the cockpit, take down the second pilot, and then save the day, and then safely land the plane while no one was injured.

Absolutely incredible.

Now, of course, there's going to be people out there that have the audacity to say there are huge, huge problems with the realism of this story, but we are not going to listen to that slop.

He then fell on the controls, and they went into freefall.

Now, while in freefall...

Yes, the aircraft doing this, heading straight down, those brave Israeli special forces operators were able to rush to the cockpit, open up a cockpit that they literally couldn't be able to open, while in free fall, have you ever been on a roller coaster before? Do you know what that feeling is? What happens? Oh, that's right, you get shoved up backwards into the seat, right? So it would have been physically impossible for them to make their way to the cockpit to open it, to open it up, wrestle the jihadist co-pilot, and then safely take control of that aircraft

and land it in an emergency fashion.

I, I'll tell you there's gonna be no rain, right? And that there went three years of absolute drought and famine, and Achav started looking for him all over the place, and he couldn't find him.

The entire country, the police, the secret police, like the Shin Bet and the, the Sayeret and everyone was looking for him.

Hashem tells him, "Okay, enough is enough." At the end of three years says, "Lech hitra'eh, Achav.

Go show your face, ve'atati matar al peney adamah." I wanna give rain to these people, right? That is the fa- the eventual face-off on Har HaCarmel.

So Eric, you've got quite a fascinating entrepreneurial journey.

You started your career actually with 15 years in the Israeli Special Forces doing cyber work specifically.

Then you transitioned out into the private sector and you were with McKinsey for some time.

Then you became a founder and you very quickly had two nine-figure exits.

...

Israeli Special Forces, right.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.
