"This video is powerful. However, there is a fundamental flaw in the beginning (though it's not related to the main point.) Not sure if the flaw was made for political reasons or not, but the focus point and Holiest site in Judaism is the Temple Mount, not the Kotel. Thanks to those who pointed out the issue and thus again proving that Hashem is in the details."

"They encircled me like bees..."
It says in Tehillim 118:12(PSalms)
"They encircled me like bees; they were extinguished like a thorn fire; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them off."סבוני כדבורים, דועכו כאש קוצים - בשם ה’ כי אמילם.
(originally heard on hidabroot.org) Referring to the end of days , King David, over 3000 yrs ago, writes how Israel's enemies will encirle them and it goes on to compare the enemies to bees. What is this odd comparrison to bees? Why not say like lions, Tigers, or Bears? Rashi explains: Just as bees sting and immediately die. So too they will strike and immediately die. An apparent prophetic allusion to "suicide bombers". A method of war which is very popular among the enemies of Israel.
And to end on a good note, the end of the passage is clear: "they were extinguished like a thorn fire; in the name of the Lord that I shall cut them off."
"This psalm expresses gratitude and confidence. Just as David himself was catapulted from his personal straits to a reign marked by accomplishment and glory, so too Israel can look forward ro Divine redemption from the straits of exile and oppression."(The Artscroll Tehillim: chapter 118)

Interesting finding - "...Upon Edom I will cast my shoe..."
While reading Tehillim (Psalms) , I came across a passage that I felt was kind of intersting...maybe even a little prophetic. (-:
(Chapter 108:10) 10. Moab is my washbasin, Upon Edom I will cast my shoe, I will shout over Philistia.
(Chapter 108:10) 10. Moab is my washbasin, Upon Edom I will cast my shoe, I will shout over Philistia.
According to my understanding, many of today's scholars - both Talmudic and Kabbalist - agree that "Rome" or "Edom" is today's USA. Enjoy the clip...
