He's a big wig and he kind of gets credited with like transforming the organization into the fundraising powerhouse that it is today

Yeah, he basically like rebranded the IDF in the late 2000s, which is kind of interesting

This is a quote from one of the profiles on him.

Like some other Israelis in the United States,

Shaptai sensed how to take advantage of American Jews

and used his business savvy to market his native country soldiers to a wrapped

audience.

So he like was one of the first, he was I guess the stories like he was throwing this huge fundraiser.

Like he turned it into like a very big society event in Manhattan.

Yeah, yeah.

And so it's like at the Waldorf he hooks up a satellite feed from and this, you know, at the time I think, I guess Israeli forces were still

occupying southern Lebanon, and so he hooked up a satellite feed to the occupation to like to the, I don know fucking like rich-ass New Yorkers in this

you know ballroom I watch the watch the video of this happening yeah

and they're just like oh oh my God, both at the technology

and also like whatever kind of footage they're seeing.

He also was a big fan of reaching out across the aisle as annoying people on in the

lame stream media like to say here to the evangelical community inviting pastor John A.G. of Christians United for Israel.

Now he was also just in the news because he was invited to speak at the crazy Zionist protest march that they had in DC

and it was like a total scandal that we was up on the stage because this is a guy who

Has like fucking said that Hitler was sent by God to get the Jews back to Israel.

Yeah, it's...
