What Tyler Oliveira Didn't Tell You About Kiryas Joel

Now let's talk about how he opens the actual video. He has a video of a kidic Jew asking him, "You work for Hamas?" And the reason why that man had every reason to ask the question, first let's watch the clip. >> You work for Hamas? >> Well, the Jewish man with his talis outside the sh is clearly uncomfortable. You're playing at Tyler like this man is paranoid, like he's crazy, he's unreasonable. But let me tell you why he asked you that question. Tyler, you showed up in an insularic village with a camera crew. You're walking around filming people who don't want to be filmed. You're asking invasive personal questions about their finances, their families, their religion. You're wearing a mask, which is fine, but you're also a stranger in a community that has been targeted. I'm I have the beard, the pis, the bald. I have the right hat. I have gotten plenty of looks and plenty of anti-semitic comments just for dressing the way I dress and being who I am. You know as well as the listeners, the people who view your videos know that this community gets picked on for who they are and what they look like. We're living in a world where anti-semitism is growing. So you have a guy showing up with a camera, pushing into their space, asking them questions. When the man's asking you, "Do you work for Hamas?" Tyler, he didn't really think he worked for Hamas. He was asking, "Are you here to cause us harm?" Cuz from his perspective, that's exactly what you were there to do. And as your video shows, that is exactly what you tried to do. So when you want clickbait, what do you do? You put that as the opening of your video. That's how you start. >> You work for Hamas. >> I don't want my >> So why do you start with that? me Hamas. You didn't start the video with an explanation. Maybe like PBS would start a nice video where anybody who was trying to explain something about a community. You walk around, you show, you give context. You didn't even give an introduction. You started with a distressed Yiddish man asking if you work for Hamas. Why did you do that? Because it's shocking. Because it's viral. Because it'll get you clicks. because it'll even get you people like myself to respond which ultimately gets you more clicks. But I don't mind if you get clicks. You're a YouTuber. I wish you all the success in making cute, funny, interesting YouTube videos that make you lots of money. But to all the millions of people watching your video, this video particularly, they get the view, they get the picture that these Jews are paranoid, unreasonable, guilty of some crime when really they're a community that is living a peaceful life and you are showing up there and they see that they see you with your video camera and your uncomfortable pictures, uncomfortable questions as a threat. And you know what, Tyler? They were absolutely right. Tyler, why did you show up there? What was your actual goal? You didn't arrange interviews. You didn't talk to community leaders. Didn't do any research. You showed up with a camera. I shouldn't say you didn't do any research. You may have done research on how to get people to take clickbait, how to ask questions that can be translated wrong, that confuse people. You showed up with a camera and sharded confronting random people on the street. You cold approached elderly men with broken English. You asked women who have no interest in speaking with you questions. In our community, women can do whatever they want. They're free. But the average woman who wants to speak to a YouTuber like you is probably somebody who would have moved out of Curious, not somebody who's currently living there. You really should respect the will of the people who live in a certain place. You shouldn't go over to them and arrest them. You come into a synagogue during prayers with a video camera and you start asking questions. Oh, what time is it? Nobody works around here. Before we get in depth any of these points, I just want to make it clear. You were not in curious yo to understand. You are not like that video of the Shabas meal that somebody came and wanted to experience. A non-Jewish person came and wanted to experience what an authentic Shabas is like. I believe that video got millions or tens of millions of views. You weren't there to understand them. You came to exploit them. So, okay, one guy asked you if you work for Hamas. You acting like a hostile outsider. That was the question you got. The reason you open that video with that clip is because it makes him look like the victim and it makes them look crazy. But that's not what happened at all. In the next video, I'm going to explain to you what it means when you go into the shul and you say people are praying from morning till night.
