00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,640
Welcome to the last American vagabond. Joining me

2
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,599
today is Robert Inlakesh here to discuss what's

3
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:30,879
going on in the world to get caught

4
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:33,119
up, just, you know, all these different perspectives

5
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:35,359
on the many different fields of war, the

6
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:37,600
many different propaganda tactics, the many different things

7
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,405
going on in foreign policy, and, you know,

8
00:00:39,405 --> 00:00:40,765
just to kinda get caught up on what

9
00:00:40,765 --> 00:00:42,604
he sees in the world today because, you

10
00:00:42,604 --> 00:00:44,045
know, very few people out there are as

11
00:00:44,045 --> 00:00:45,804
immersed in these topics as Robert is. So

12
00:00:45,804 --> 00:00:47,244
let's start off today, Robert. How are you,

13
00:00:47,244 --> 00:00:48,704
by the way? How are you doing today?

14
00:00:48,765 --> 00:00:50,604
Yeah. I'm doing as well as I possibly

15
00:00:50,604 --> 00:00:53,004
can be, and, thanks for having me back.

16
00:00:53,004 --> 00:00:54,780
Yeah. My pleasure, brother. So let's start with

17
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:56,059
whatever it is that's going on. There's so

18
00:00:56,059 --> 00:00:57,820
many different topics, obviously. I've got plenty of

19
00:00:57,820 --> 00:00:59,659
stuff lined up. But, you know, what what

20
00:00:59,659 --> 00:01:01,259
today what's the one thing that, you know,

21
00:01:01,259 --> 00:01:02,460
if I ask you is the most pressing

22
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:03,659
on your mind, what is it right now

23
00:01:03,659 --> 00:01:05,280
to you that that jumps to the forefront?

24
00:01:05,884 --> 00:01:08,125
It would definitely be what's happening in Gaza

25
00:01:08,125 --> 00:01:09,424
with the ongoing genocide,

26
00:01:10,444 --> 00:01:13,804
and the escalation of air strikes and perhaps

27
00:01:13,804 --> 00:01:14,944
the Gaza humanitarian

28
00:01:15,965 --> 00:01:17,424
foundation, which is,

29
00:01:18,219 --> 00:01:19,040
a privatized

30
00:01:19,340 --> 00:01:22,319
aid project, which was spearheaded by the Israelis

31
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:25,200
using American privatized con companies

32
00:01:25,980 --> 00:01:27,040
and also collaborating

33
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:30,079
with ISIS linked gangs

34
00:01:30,644 --> 00:01:33,204
that were previously used to loot aid and

35
00:01:33,204 --> 00:01:35,864
now continue to loot aid, but also,

36
00:01:36,885 --> 00:01:39,444
attack people and are used to,

37
00:01:39,844 --> 00:01:40,344
secure,

38
00:01:41,045 --> 00:01:41,784
a transfers

39
00:01:42,165 --> 00:01:42,905
they claim.

40
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:44,890
And now they're, you know,

41
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:47,049
advertising this ISIS linked

42
00:01:47,989 --> 00:01:50,170
group of gangsters, criminals, and,

43
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:51,290
thugs

44
00:01:51,829 --> 00:01:54,969
as a grassroots resistance to Hamas,

45
00:01:55,349 --> 00:01:56,415
the Gaza Strip.

46
00:01:57,055 --> 00:02:00,254
So that situation and specifically looking at, what's

47
00:02:00,254 --> 00:02:03,314
happening with the aid distribution sites and Israel

48
00:02:04,254 --> 00:02:06,194
now having killed 600

49
00:02:06,334 --> 00:02:06,834
Palestinians

50
00:02:07,295 --> 00:02:08,995
as they were seeking aid,

51
00:02:09,455 --> 00:02:11,955
essentially luring them into a death trap,

52
00:02:12,569 --> 00:02:15,050
offering them scraps of food, and then shooting

53
00:02:15,050 --> 00:02:17,069
them when they try and get those,

54
00:02:17,610 --> 00:02:19,870
scraps of food that they're offering.

55
00:02:20,489 --> 00:02:22,669
That would probably be the most pressing thing,

56
00:02:23,289 --> 00:02:24,110
right now.

57
00:02:24,435 --> 00:02:26,355
But as you know, there's a a range

58
00:02:26,355 --> 00:02:29,155
of different developments in the region. Yeah. In

59
00:02:29,155 --> 00:02:31,474
any moment, one of them could explode and

60
00:02:31,474 --> 00:02:33,155
become the big news story. But I I

61
00:02:33,155 --> 00:02:35,895
think, you know, the Gaza story has,

62
00:02:36,275 --> 00:02:36,775
faded,

63
00:02:37,409 --> 00:02:39,750
especially the issue of the Gaza Humanitarian

64
00:02:40,129 --> 00:02:40,629
Foundation,

65
00:02:42,289 --> 00:02:43,349
so called Humanitarian

66
00:02:43,650 --> 00:02:45,650
Foundation. The way that they name these things

67
00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:46,050
is,

68
00:02:46,770 --> 00:02:47,270
sadistic,

69
00:02:47,889 --> 00:02:48,709
in my opinion.

70
00:02:50,175 --> 00:02:52,944
So, yeah, that that sort of faded from

71
00:02:52,944 --> 00:02:55,294
the headlines even when we're talking about Gaza.

72
00:02:55,294 --> 00:02:57,074
There's a lot of discussion of the bombings,

73
00:02:57,455 --> 00:03:00,495
but not as much, focus on these, aid

74
00:03:00,495 --> 00:03:02,334
sites, which Trump, by the way, has just

75
00:03:02,334 --> 00:03:04,814
pledged that he'll give $30,000,000

76
00:03:04,814 --> 00:03:05,474
to fund,

77
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:08,719
which is essentially an assembly line,

78
00:03:10,219 --> 00:03:10,960
mass murder,

79
00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:14,699
project where you get people to herd towards

80
00:03:14,699 --> 00:03:17,360
an area, herd them like cattle towards slaughter.

81
00:03:18,485 --> 00:03:20,724
Yeah. And that'd be references to Squid Game,

82
00:03:20,965 --> 00:03:22,645
you know, Hunger Games. I mean, all these

83
00:03:22,645 --> 00:03:24,724
different analogy or, you know, comparisons that I

84
00:03:24,724 --> 00:03:26,965
think are very clearly apt. It's obvious what's

85
00:03:26,965 --> 00:03:28,485
been going on. We were covering this in

86
00:03:28,485 --> 00:03:29,844
the beginning as I'm sure you were about

87
00:03:29,844 --> 00:03:31,284
the very first day and sort of your

88
00:03:31,365 --> 00:03:33,544
like your coverage of Serena Boucle and others.

89
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,120
The story morphs in in the first forty

90
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,560
eight hours, in the first you know, every

91
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,080
day to day, the story changes from, no,

92
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,360
we shot above them. Oh, no. It was

93
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,960
them or they shot first. And until, you

94
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,400
know, it just drifts away. And and then

95
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,159
the next day, the day after the day

96
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:47,414
after that, multiple reports have continued shooting. It

97
00:03:47,414 --> 00:03:48,935
just drifted away. Right? So they they have

98
00:03:48,935 --> 00:03:51,094
been executing people in these lines. It's just

99
00:03:51,094 --> 00:03:53,574
grotesque. Doctors' testimony about it. So I want

100
00:03:53,655 --> 00:03:55,495
before we get into that, and I want

101
00:03:55,495 --> 00:03:57,495
more we hear more about the, you know,

102
00:03:57,495 --> 00:03:59,254
what just the whole dynamic and how you

103
00:03:59,254 --> 00:04:01,319
see this going forward. But you mentioned ISIS

104
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:02,680
linked groups. So let's talk about that first.

105
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,699
Give us give people listening more insight on

106
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:08,039
the GHF, the the Gaza Health Foundation, the

107
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:08,620
the ridiculous

108
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
fake, you know, whatever. Give us insight of

109
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
that group, the Mossad overlap, you know, the

110
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,479
manipulation that it is, and the ISIS linked

111
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:17,665
groups. And, you know, anywhere you wanna go

112
00:04:17,665 --> 00:04:19,504
around that because as you you clearly indicated

113
00:04:19,504 --> 00:04:21,425
there, this is not a new dynamic. You

114
00:04:21,425 --> 00:04:23,345
know, the new rebels fighting the, you know,

115
00:04:23,345 --> 00:04:24,785
like, the new moderate rebels kind of a

116
00:04:24,785 --> 00:04:27,264
game. So talk about the foundation and then

117
00:04:27,264 --> 00:04:28,625
really give us some deep background on the

118
00:04:28,625 --> 00:04:30,305
ISIS linked group. I wanna hear more about

119
00:04:30,305 --> 00:04:30,805
that.

120
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040
Well, I I think addressing the ISIS linked

121
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,520
gangs and then, putting that together with what's

122
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,319
happening with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is, where

123
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:41,020
this conversation should start,

124
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,060
because

125
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,660
these gangsters,

126
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,964
sure, led by

127
00:04:46,384 --> 00:04:46,884
a

128
00:04:47,305 --> 00:04:47,805
criminal

129
00:04:48,185 --> 00:04:50,204
named Yasser Abu Sheba,

130
00:04:51,464 --> 00:04:53,805
are were essentially used by the Israelis

131
00:04:54,264 --> 00:04:58,504
after Israel invaded Rafah in sovereign Gaza last

132
00:04:58,504 --> 00:04:59,004
year.

133
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:01,419
They essentially

134
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,639
created a safe zone for them, which is

135
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:06,060
a kill zone for anyone else, including,

136
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:08,839
you know, emergency workers if there's a bombing

137
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,540
in the area and they want to inspect,

138
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,259
and they wanna come close to this area,

139
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:15,259
which is, in the East,

140
00:05:15,754 --> 00:05:17,774
Eastern portion of Southern Gaza.

141
00:05:18,394 --> 00:05:20,714
They set up these gangsters there, and the

142
00:05:20,714 --> 00:05:22,714
only way that the aid trucks could go

143
00:05:22,714 --> 00:05:25,274
in was through this territory. And what the

144
00:05:25,274 --> 00:05:27,834
Israelis would do is they coordinated with these

145
00:05:27,834 --> 00:05:29,514
gangs, and they were a few 100. They

146
00:05:29,514 --> 00:05:31,230
numbered a few 100 at the time, these

147
00:05:31,230 --> 00:05:34,290
gang members, who were primarily from,

148
00:05:35,149 --> 00:05:36,290
a number of Bedouin,

149
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:38,370
tribes

150
00:05:39,069 --> 00:05:43,089
that exist in Gaza, but also their, family

151
00:05:43,149 --> 00:05:43,649
links

152
00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:45,964
expand into

153
00:05:46,425 --> 00:05:49,084
what's now considered Israeli territory,

154
00:05:50,185 --> 00:05:51,725
in the Nakab or Negev,

155
00:05:52,105 --> 00:05:53,564
desert area. Beresaba,

156
00:05:54,264 --> 00:05:57,144
is a major city there, and into the

157
00:05:57,144 --> 00:05:57,644
Egyptian

158
00:05:58,024 --> 00:05:58,524
Sinai.

159
00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:59,689
And so

160
00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:03,509
these groups and it's not by any means

161
00:06:03,509 --> 00:06:05,910
to say that the entire Bedouin families are

162
00:06:05,910 --> 00:06:08,150
like this. In fact, they've, the families have

163
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:09,129
officially condemned

164
00:06:09,509 --> 00:06:12,150
these militants at this point, but they drew

165
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:13,210
from these,

166
00:06:15,125 --> 00:06:15,704
these families

167
00:06:17,125 --> 00:06:19,224
and specifically focused on

168
00:06:20,485 --> 00:06:20,985
recruiting

169
00:06:21,604 --> 00:06:22,104
criminals

170
00:06:22,485 --> 00:06:24,264
who had escaped from

171
00:06:24,564 --> 00:06:26,264
jails in the Gaza Strip,

172
00:06:27,310 --> 00:06:30,189
police stations that were bombed. The entrances were

173
00:06:30,189 --> 00:06:33,229
bombed by the Israelis at the beginning of

174
00:06:33,229 --> 00:06:35,089
the genocide in 2023.

175
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:38,449
And these individuals who, like Yasser Abu Shebaab,

176
00:06:39,024 --> 00:06:42,384
guilty of trafficking drugs. There's others. There's one

177
00:06:42,384 --> 00:06:44,084
guy whose name is Shadi Asufi.

178
00:06:44,545 --> 00:06:46,245
He was a convicted murderer,

179
00:06:46,944 --> 00:06:48,785
who had fled to the Sinai at one

180
00:06:48,785 --> 00:06:49,915
point to try and evade,

181
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,480
the law in the Gaza Strip and be

182
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,800
arrested. He was set to be executed before

183
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,779
Israel bombed,

184
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,060
the prison and allowed him to exit.

185
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,199
Set set to be executed by who? Who

186
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:04,360
was the one saying that? By by Gaza?

187
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,120
The hell by Gaza authorities or by from

188
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,245
Israeli authorities? The Gaza authorities. So the authorities,

189
00:07:09,305 --> 00:07:10,665
Hamas, obviously, were,

190
00:07:11,105 --> 00:07:11,545
the,

191
00:07:11,944 --> 00:07:13,084
government in Gaza.

192
00:07:13,464 --> 00:07:15,464
And so they had a police force, of

193
00:07:15,464 --> 00:07:17,084
course, and a security apparatus.

194
00:07:17,384 --> 00:07:19,305
And so they would do things like, for

195
00:07:19,305 --> 00:07:22,879
instance, crackdown on, the smuggling of drugs across

196
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:24,100
the, Egyptian

197
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,060
border.

198
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:26,800
And it was these groups,

199
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,860
that we now see today, these thugs

200
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,100
that we see today who

201
00:07:32,705 --> 00:07:34,245
were involved in facilitating

202
00:07:34,545 --> 00:07:37,125
the transfer of drugs into the Gaza Strip,

203
00:07:37,665 --> 00:07:40,384
and long known many of them as well

204
00:07:40,384 --> 00:07:41,205
to be collaborators

205
00:07:41,665 --> 00:07:44,085
with the Israelis and and to have spied,

206
00:07:44,705 --> 00:07:45,205
and

207
00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:46,490
committed murder,

208
00:07:47,349 --> 00:07:50,470
you know, trafficking, all sorts of these, these

209
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,949
crimes. So these are criminals, essentially. These are

210
00:07:52,949 --> 00:07:53,449
outlaws.

211
00:07:53,909 --> 00:07:57,509
Israel then used these outlaws when the time,

212
00:07:57,669 --> 00:07:59,985
the an opportune time came for them, which

213
00:07:59,985 --> 00:08:02,404
was when they invaded Rafa. Because

214
00:08:02,705 --> 00:08:03,205
before,

215
00:08:03,985 --> 00:08:06,404
what happened in this the Gaza Strip is,

216
00:08:06,705 --> 00:08:08,645
they had tried to use collaborators

217
00:08:09,425 --> 00:08:11,685
in order to steal the aid,

218
00:08:12,384 --> 00:08:13,365
to sow chaos,

219
00:08:14,610 --> 00:08:16,550
to attack and even replace,

220
00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:19,750
that's what their aim was, to replace the,

221
00:08:20,129 --> 00:08:23,250
internal security force, which obviously is linked to

222
00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:23,750
Hamas,

223
00:08:25,009 --> 00:08:27,375
with these fucks. But they didn't get away

224
00:08:27,375 --> 00:08:28,435
with it until

225
00:08:28,894 --> 00:08:32,595
Rafah was invaded, and Israel got full control

226
00:08:33,375 --> 00:08:36,735
over the Egyptian Gaza border area. And so

227
00:08:36,735 --> 00:08:39,534
then, like I was explaining before, the aid

228
00:08:39,534 --> 00:08:40,674
had to come in

229
00:08:41,379 --> 00:08:43,799
specifically under Israeli supervision.

230
00:08:45,220 --> 00:08:47,779
There was no policeman there. The Hamas police

231
00:08:47,779 --> 00:08:50,259
couldn't get near this area to try and

232
00:08:50,259 --> 00:08:51,320
secure the aid,

233
00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:53,779
or they would be killed. They were taken

234
00:08:53,779 --> 00:08:54,919
out in air strikes.

235
00:08:55,485 --> 00:08:57,024
And so when the,

236
00:08:57,485 --> 00:08:58,865
the international organizations,

237
00:08:59,245 --> 00:09:01,884
the humanitarian organizations would bring in food aid,

238
00:09:01,884 --> 00:09:03,485
they would bring in fuel or whatever they

239
00:09:03,485 --> 00:09:06,205
would bring in the small quantities which were

240
00:09:06,205 --> 00:09:07,105
allowed in.

241
00:09:07,419 --> 00:09:09,419
And this is something that not all of

242
00:09:09,419 --> 00:09:12,080
them could say outright. They couldn't admit it,

243
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:14,779
because, of course, you can't admit to every

244
00:09:14,779 --> 00:09:16,639
single time you take aid into Gaza,

245
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:19,660
you have to pay a bribe. Right. But

246
00:09:19,660 --> 00:09:21,440
they were forced to pay bribes

247
00:09:22,125 --> 00:09:23,105
to Abu Shabaab

248
00:09:23,965 --> 00:09:26,065
who runs this ISIS linked,

249
00:09:27,485 --> 00:09:27,985
gang

250
00:09:28,445 --> 00:09:30,865
that operates under full Israeli supervision.

251
00:09:31,245 --> 00:09:34,465
Now we've seen they have Israeli tactical vests,

252
00:09:34,769 --> 00:09:37,029
Israeli military helmets, Israeli,

253
00:09:38,290 --> 00:09:40,470
weapons that were supplied to them.

254
00:09:41,410 --> 00:09:44,129
They these humanitarian organizations had to send their

255
00:09:44,129 --> 00:09:46,450
trucks for theirs. So they would either pay

256
00:09:46,450 --> 00:09:47,029
the bribe

257
00:09:47,384 --> 00:09:48,764
or they would be ambushed,

258
00:09:49,144 --> 00:09:50,845
and the food would be taken,

259
00:09:51,625 --> 00:09:54,024
and essentially brought to these warehouses, which the

260
00:09:54,024 --> 00:09:56,585
Israelis have full view and knowledge of. And

261
00:09:56,585 --> 00:09:59,629
then what Abu Shebaab's men would do is

262
00:09:59,629 --> 00:10:01,710
that they would take this food aid, and

263
00:10:01,710 --> 00:10:03,950
they would drip feed it into different areas

264
00:10:03,950 --> 00:10:05,970
in Gaza onto the black market.

265
00:10:06,269 --> 00:10:08,509
And what happened because of that and because

266
00:10:08,509 --> 00:10:11,649
the humanitarian organizations really didn't have a choice,

267
00:10:11,764 --> 00:10:13,524
they had to pay the bribes. They had

268
00:10:13,524 --> 00:10:16,004
to just accept that bunches of their aid

269
00:10:16,004 --> 00:10:17,845
and sometimes the entire aid truck would be

270
00:10:17,845 --> 00:10:18,825
looted and taken

271
00:10:19,205 --> 00:10:21,144
away. They essentially,

272
00:10:21,764 --> 00:10:22,264
unfortunately,

273
00:10:22,884 --> 00:10:23,384
accepted,

274
00:10:24,164 --> 00:10:25,465
the situation where

275
00:10:25,940 --> 00:10:27,960
the prices were hyped up at the markets

276
00:10:28,019 --> 00:10:30,899
for food in Gaza. So only if you

277
00:10:30,899 --> 00:10:33,139
were wealthy enough would you be able to

278
00:10:33,139 --> 00:10:35,860
buy food to feed your family from these

279
00:10:35,860 --> 00:10:38,339
markets, and the aid that came in was

280
00:10:38,339 --> 00:10:40,384
not enough for the people as we saw

281
00:10:40,384 --> 00:10:42,644
over a large period of time now,

282
00:10:43,264 --> 00:10:46,784
especially children, the elderly, vulnerable people, people with

283
00:10:46,784 --> 00:10:47,284
preexisting,

284
00:10:48,304 --> 00:10:50,404
medical conditions have died of starvation,

285
00:10:51,105 --> 00:10:51,605
malnutrition.

286
00:10:52,065 --> 00:10:53,424
Many people have different,

287
00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:55,290
chronic illnesses

288
00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:57,509
that have come on because of the conditions

289
00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:59,930
that they're living under. And then what happened

290
00:11:00,070 --> 00:11:01,050
after the ceasefire,

291
00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:03,850
came in earlier this year and Israel violated

292
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:05,050
it is they transformed

293
00:11:05,509 --> 00:11:06,970
this criminal militia

294
00:11:07,605 --> 00:11:08,105
into

295
00:11:08,565 --> 00:11:10,264
a grassroots resistance

296
00:11:11,044 --> 00:11:14,164
against Hamas, they're saying. And then this militia

297
00:11:14,164 --> 00:11:18,404
force now carries out operations against Hamas for

298
00:11:18,404 --> 00:11:19,225
the Israelis,

299
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:21,860
and also what it does

300
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,799
aside from looting aid continuing to do that,

301
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:27,440
and there are definitely cases documented cases where

302
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,339
they've done this,

303
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,740
they also are collaborating,

304
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,580
and they are the force

305
00:11:32,894 --> 00:11:34,894
that is supposed to be, at least on

306
00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:36,754
paper, securing aid,

307
00:11:37,375 --> 00:11:37,875
transfers,

308
00:11:38,495 --> 00:11:39,955
with the Gaza Humanitarian

309
00:11:40,335 --> 00:11:43,555
Foundation. Mhmm. So all of this is interlinked,

310
00:11:44,254 --> 00:11:46,850
and we haven't even gotten into the ISIS

311
00:11:46,850 --> 00:11:48,709
links to these groups because these,

312
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:52,389
you know, many of these, militants, these criminals,

313
00:11:53,250 --> 00:11:56,529
were either formerly members of, Da'esh, the black

314
00:11:56,529 --> 00:11:58,629
branch of Da'esh, which, or ISIS,

315
00:11:58,995 --> 00:12:01,634
which emerged in the Gaza Strip in 02/2015,

316
00:12:01,634 --> 00:12:03,975
which Hamas cracked down on and destroyed

317
00:12:04,434 --> 00:12:06,674
that very same year. It tried to come

318
00:12:06,674 --> 00:12:09,315
back in waves after that. Hamas had to

319
00:12:09,315 --> 00:12:10,934
confront it. In 2018,

320
00:12:11,154 --> 00:12:12,774
ISIS declared war on Hamas,

321
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:15,279
because it was cracking down on these groups.

322
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,259
But they were also part of different Salafist

323
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,100
groups linked to Al Qaeda.

324
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,620
These these thugs and these criminals,

325
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,179
who who operate in the same networks,

326
00:12:27,875 --> 00:12:29,574
going all the way back into,

327
00:12:30,194 --> 00:12:31,414
the late two thousands.

328
00:12:31,875 --> 00:12:33,574
So we're talking about

329
00:12:33,954 --> 00:12:35,414
people who have been hardened,

330
00:12:35,794 --> 00:12:36,294
salafist

331
00:12:36,754 --> 00:12:37,254
militants,

332
00:12:38,194 --> 00:12:40,615
combined with your common thieves

333
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:42,720
and criminals and murderers

334
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:44,480
who have essentially

335
00:12:45,820 --> 00:12:48,139
collaborated with the Israelis and been armed by

336
00:12:48,139 --> 00:12:48,799
the Israelis

337
00:12:49,179 --> 00:12:52,159
as a so called grassroots resistance to Hamas,

338
00:12:52,539 --> 00:12:54,620
which nobody in Gaza accepts, by the way.

339
00:12:54,620 --> 00:12:55,279
But, unfortunately,

340
00:12:55,955 --> 00:12:57,634
they have to accept that they exist and

341
00:12:57,634 --> 00:12:59,075
that the aid is coming in that way

342
00:12:59,075 --> 00:13:01,875
because they don't have anything to eat. Before

343
00:13:01,875 --> 00:13:03,394
we go on to those other many other

344
00:13:03,394 --> 00:13:05,315
points that we're gonna flesh out, the point

345
00:13:05,315 --> 00:13:06,835
about right there where you highlighted about the

346
00:13:06,835 --> 00:13:09,970
emergence of of that ISIS element in Gaza,

347
00:13:10,029 --> 00:13:11,950
what's your opinion on that? We've talked in

348
00:13:11,950 --> 00:13:13,549
the past, you and I, about the the

349
00:13:13,549 --> 00:13:14,049
obvious

350
00:13:14,589 --> 00:13:16,990
general sentiment of the, you know, ISIS, Al

351
00:13:16,990 --> 00:13:19,570
Qaeda being essentially proxy elements of these powers.

352
00:13:19,629 --> 00:13:21,950
That's not it's a very nuanced conversation. There's

353
00:13:21,950 --> 00:13:23,470
many moving parts to it as you point

354
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:25,695
out. But so in your opinion right there,

355
00:13:25,695 --> 00:13:28,495
is that an organic thing that that was

356
00:13:28,495 --> 00:13:30,095
then pushed back? I mean, it's obvious to

357
00:13:30,095 --> 00:13:31,695
show that that ISIS and Hamas are not

358
00:13:31,695 --> 00:13:33,154
the same thing, and that many overlapping

359
00:13:33,535 --> 00:13:35,934
examples throughout the year show you that ISIS

360
00:13:35,934 --> 00:13:37,695
is very close to the Israeli US kind

361
00:13:37,695 --> 00:13:39,295
of establishment. But in that moment, is that

362
00:13:39,295 --> 00:13:40,629
an organic thing, or do you think that's

363
00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:43,129
something they created and kept trying to institute

364
00:13:43,429 --> 00:13:45,450
in that location? What's your opinion on that?

365
00:13:46,149 --> 00:13:48,149
My opinion, I don't have proof that the

366
00:13:48,149 --> 00:13:49,450
Israelis set up,

367
00:13:49,990 --> 00:13:53,289
the Gaza wing of ISIS in 02/2015,

368
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:55,595
but my guess would be that they were

369
00:13:55,595 --> 00:13:56,735
implicated in it.

370
00:13:57,595 --> 00:13:58,574
I don't see

371
00:13:59,115 --> 00:14:02,475
how these groups were operating otherwise. Mhmm.

372
00:14:02,875 --> 00:14:03,375
And

373
00:14:03,754 --> 00:14:06,394
especially even the declaration of war against Hamas

374
00:14:06,394 --> 00:14:07,454
and how antithetical

375
00:14:07,834 --> 00:14:08,495
they were,

376
00:14:09,570 --> 00:14:11,509
Even in in 02/2015,

377
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:13,269
ISIS

378
00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:16,850
fought to capture the Yarmouk refugee camp in

379
00:14:16,850 --> 00:14:19,929
Syria. And so Hamas, which had sided with

380
00:14:19,929 --> 00:14:22,610
the Syrian opposition, by the way, fought against

381
00:14:22,610 --> 00:14:23,110
ISIS.

382
00:14:24,284 --> 00:14:26,524
And one of their top commanders was captured

383
00:14:26,524 --> 00:14:28,865
by ISIS. Hamas and the other opposition

384
00:14:29,245 --> 00:14:29,745
groups

385
00:14:30,365 --> 00:14:31,105
were defeated

386
00:14:31,565 --> 00:14:33,264
by ISIS in in this battle,

387
00:14:33,804 --> 00:14:36,625
and Hamas commander was beheaded by ISIS.

388
00:14:37,379 --> 00:14:39,220
That was the same year that ISIS then

389
00:14:39,220 --> 00:14:41,480
coincidentally just popped up in Gaza.

390
00:14:42,259 --> 00:14:44,120
Now that they've had this battle with,

391
00:14:44,660 --> 00:14:47,620
Hamas, Hamas obviously cracked down on them, but

392
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:50,340
we've seen that these Salafist elements and these

393
00:14:50,340 --> 00:14:51,720
Al Qaeda linked elements,

394
00:14:52,514 --> 00:14:55,414
were active in Gaza, were committing suicide bombings,

395
00:14:55,634 --> 00:14:56,134
kidnappings

396
00:14:56,514 --> 00:14:57,254
of journalists,

397
00:14:58,434 --> 00:15:01,095
and activists as well, the murder of activists,

398
00:15:01,714 --> 00:15:02,855
in the Gaza Strip.

399
00:15:03,714 --> 00:15:05,954
For a very long time, there were massive

400
00:15:05,954 --> 00:15:06,454
clashes

401
00:15:06,834 --> 00:15:07,815
between Hamas,

402
00:15:08,490 --> 00:15:09,710
their security forces,

403
00:15:10,169 --> 00:15:10,649
and,

404
00:15:11,210 --> 00:15:12,509
Al Qaeda cells.

405
00:15:13,769 --> 00:15:15,929
Throughout the history of the Hamas rule of

406
00:15:15,929 --> 00:15:18,090
the Gaza Strip, they constantly had to crack

407
00:15:18,090 --> 00:15:20,029
down on them. They had to arrest,

408
00:15:20,490 --> 00:15:22,110
the ringleaders in these,

409
00:15:22,745 --> 00:15:23,804
terrorist cells,

410
00:15:24,904 --> 00:15:25,384
and,

411
00:15:25,945 --> 00:15:27,865
they fought, you know, gun battles in the

412
00:15:27,865 --> 00:15:29,644
streets with, these militants.

413
00:15:30,345 --> 00:15:32,424
So, you know, there's a long history of

414
00:15:32,424 --> 00:15:34,264
that in the Gaza Strip. Not only that,

415
00:15:34,264 --> 00:15:36,524
but another thing which is, I suppose,

416
00:15:36,904 --> 00:15:39,519
anecdote on the side, which supports the notion

417
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:42,559
of Israeli involvement with these groups, is that

418
00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:45,059
there were many times where Hamas arrested,

419
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,059
members of these Salafist groups for firing rockets

420
00:15:51,664 --> 00:15:54,384
at Israel, these sort of bottle rockets that

421
00:15:54,384 --> 00:15:56,625
they'd fire over, which would then invite an

422
00:15:56,625 --> 00:15:59,584
Israeli response. Right. So there were these times

423
00:15:59,584 --> 00:16:00,884
where randomly

424
00:16:01,424 --> 00:16:03,524
and when nothing was happening seemingly,

425
00:16:04,169 --> 00:16:06,169
there would be one or two rockets fired

426
00:16:06,169 --> 00:16:07,850
over, and they would just land in open

427
00:16:07,850 --> 00:16:09,769
areas, and they wouldn't pose a threat to

428
00:16:09,769 --> 00:16:12,350
anyone. And then suddenly, that invited an Israeli

429
00:16:12,970 --> 00:16:15,049
attack on the Gaza Strip, and and these

430
00:16:15,049 --> 00:16:16,125
groups did that.

431
00:16:16,845 --> 00:16:18,764
These are the groups that participated in that

432
00:16:18,764 --> 00:16:19,745
and and Hamas,

433
00:16:20,125 --> 00:16:23,085
their policemen arrested these people for it. The

434
00:16:23,085 --> 00:16:25,404
implication clearly being at least not saying proof,

435
00:16:25,404 --> 00:16:27,105
but the implication being that possibly

436
00:16:27,404 --> 00:16:29,085
if they're working on behalf of this element,

437
00:16:29,085 --> 00:16:30,950
which there's ties you can prove that that

438
00:16:30,950 --> 00:16:33,029
was done for the interest of the desire

439
00:16:33,029 --> 00:16:34,789
to launch that attack for whatever reason. As

440
00:16:34,789 --> 00:16:36,789
we were very clearly seeing today as it's

441
00:16:36,789 --> 00:16:38,789
coming out for what, the the fifteenth time

442
00:16:38,789 --> 00:16:41,029
over the years where Israeli media and Israeli

443
00:16:41,029 --> 00:16:43,795
people are highlighting that Netanyahu's once again can,

444
00:16:43,795 --> 00:16:45,475
you know, conducting war to keep himself out

445
00:16:45,475 --> 00:16:47,075
of jail. You know? And so that's one

446
00:16:47,075 --> 00:16:49,554
very easily proven and obvious potential point there,

447
00:16:49,554 --> 00:16:51,394
but that's just fascinating to see how many

448
00:16:51,394 --> 00:16:53,394
different ways this interconnects and how long this

449
00:16:53,394 --> 00:16:54,375
has been going on.

450
00:16:54,675 --> 00:16:56,595
Do do so in regard to the ISIS

451
00:16:56,595 --> 00:16:57,815
links and the GHF

452
00:16:58,329 --> 00:17:00,250
connected back to Israel and United States as

453
00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:02,089
well, for oh, first, the ISIS links in

454
00:17:02,089 --> 00:17:04,089
general. So that's important. So regardless of being

455
00:17:04,089 --> 00:17:04,910
ISIS connected,

456
00:17:05,450 --> 00:17:07,529
these groups are what we just described. Right?

457
00:17:07,529 --> 00:17:09,529
It's interesting. But then being what makes it

458
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:11,474
all the more insulting is to prove that,

459
00:17:11,554 --> 00:17:12,914
you know, the very group they're always trying

460
00:17:12,914 --> 00:17:14,355
to highlight is what they're fighting around the

461
00:17:14,355 --> 00:17:16,355
world is, in fact, doing their dirty work

462
00:17:16,355 --> 00:17:17,794
right on the ground, which is not new.

463
00:17:17,794 --> 00:17:19,154
So go into what that is and if

464
00:17:19,154 --> 00:17:20,515
you have any other examples of why it's

465
00:17:20,515 --> 00:17:22,054
not new, I'd love to hear that too.

466
00:17:22,275 --> 00:17:24,134
No. It's definitely not new. Like,

467
00:17:24,914 --> 00:17:27,230
evidently, we know in the case of Syria,

468
00:17:27,369 --> 00:17:29,150
the Israelis were backing

469
00:17:29,609 --> 00:17:32,890
at least a dozen Syrian opposition groups since

470
00:17:32,890 --> 00:17:34,029
02/2013.

471
00:17:34,089 --> 00:17:35,150
One of them being,

472
00:17:35,529 --> 00:17:37,390
Nusra Front, which was,

473
00:17:37,849 --> 00:17:38,349
commanded

474
00:17:38,804 --> 00:17:39,304
by,

475
00:17:40,004 --> 00:17:42,404
Abu Mohammed al Shulani, who's now known as

476
00:17:42,404 --> 00:17:45,224
Ahmed al Sharra. He's the Syrian president now,

477
00:17:46,085 --> 00:17:48,644
who turned his organization. He changed the name

478
00:17:48,644 --> 00:17:49,384
from Nusra

479
00:17:49,924 --> 00:17:50,424
to,

480
00:17:51,044 --> 00:17:52,585
Hayat Tahri e Sham,

481
00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:55,980
which now runs Syria today.

482
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,240
But it's interesting because at the same time

483
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,840
in 2013

484
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,480
when these groups started getting funded, many of

485
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,375
them were collaborating, including Nosfera, by the way.

486
00:18:06,375 --> 00:18:08,714
At the same time that Nusra was collaborating

487
00:18:09,575 --> 00:18:12,474
and working together with ISIS in Syria,

488
00:18:12,855 --> 00:18:14,394
the Israelis were simultaneously

489
00:18:14,775 --> 00:18:16,634
providing funding and weapons

490
00:18:17,015 --> 00:18:19,255
over to the group. So and and that's

491
00:18:19,255 --> 00:18:21,869
now the guy who is running Syria, who

492
00:18:21,869 --> 00:18:24,289
headed that organization, and it's no surprise,

493
00:18:25,470 --> 00:18:28,029
to anyone that he's now moving towards a

494
00:18:28,029 --> 00:18:29,329
normalization agreement,

495
00:18:29,869 --> 00:18:31,490
with, the Israelis.

496
00:18:32,109 --> 00:18:33,569
But, you know, the Syria element

497
00:18:33,869 --> 00:18:34,750
to this obviously,

498
00:18:35,765 --> 00:18:38,265
proves the point. It's the the strongest,

499
00:18:38,884 --> 00:18:39,625
you know,

500
00:18:40,005 --> 00:18:40,825
proof here.

501
00:18:41,205 --> 00:18:41,865
But also

502
00:18:42,245 --> 00:18:44,805
in the Gaza Strip now, these people, many

503
00:18:44,805 --> 00:18:46,745
of these militants who are, you know,

504
00:18:47,365 --> 00:18:47,865
hardened

505
00:18:48,245 --> 00:18:48,745
salafists,

506
00:18:49,789 --> 00:18:50,929
who were either,

507
00:18:51,470 --> 00:18:51,970
loyal

508
00:18:52,429 --> 00:18:54,990
to, ISIS or Al Qaeda movements in the

509
00:18:54,990 --> 00:18:57,970
past are now openly collaborating with the Israelis

510
00:18:58,109 --> 00:18:59,329
to overthrow Hamas.

511
00:18:59,869 --> 00:19:02,450
And then, of course, they it's funny because,

512
00:19:02,829 --> 00:19:05,154
Yasser Abu Shabab, the sort of ringleader,

513
00:19:05,535 --> 00:19:07,855
he was interviewed on no other than the

514
00:19:07,855 --> 00:19:09,315
Israeli army radio

515
00:19:10,734 --> 00:19:13,054
to which he told the army radio that

516
00:19:13,054 --> 00:19:15,554
all the claims that we're collaborating with Israel

517
00:19:16,309 --> 00:19:17,690
is just propaganda,

518
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:19,130
Hamas propaganda,

519
00:19:19,509 --> 00:19:21,210
while he's speaking to Israeli

520
00:19:21,589 --> 00:19:22,490
army radio

521
00:19:22,789 --> 00:19:23,609
from a territory

522
00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:25,609
controlled by the Israelis

523
00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:27,929
where they provide him with air support.

524
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:30,490
So, I mean, at this point,

525
00:19:31,275 --> 00:19:32,975
those links are crystal clear.

526
00:19:33,674 --> 00:19:36,235
We have lots of historical examples of Hamas

527
00:19:36,235 --> 00:19:38,875
fighting against some Qaeda and against ISIS, of

528
00:19:38,875 --> 00:19:39,375
course.

529
00:19:39,914 --> 00:19:42,555
But now they're the Israelis, you know, they

530
00:19:42,555 --> 00:19:44,130
let the cat out of the bag. And

531
00:19:44,130 --> 00:19:44,630
even

532
00:19:45,089 --> 00:19:46,710
Netanyahu, he was forced to admit,

533
00:19:47,009 --> 00:19:48,930
because of Victor Lieberman and others in the

534
00:19:48,930 --> 00:19:50,849
Knesset brought up the fact that why are

535
00:19:50,849 --> 00:19:52,769
we funding ISIS? Maybe this could have blowback.

536
00:19:52,769 --> 00:19:54,769
That was their point of view. Like, this

537
00:19:54,769 --> 00:19:57,474
could, at some point, backfire on us. And,

538
00:19:57,714 --> 00:19:59,634
so he admitted, no. No. There's nothing wrong

539
00:19:59,634 --> 00:20:01,654
with funding these people. Like

540
00:20:01,954 --> 00:20:04,454
like, this is a strategy against Hamas.

541
00:20:05,154 --> 00:20:07,714
So they've openly admitted it at this point.

542
00:20:07,714 --> 00:20:09,954
So it's it's not even something that we

543
00:20:09,954 --> 00:20:12,299
have to debate right now whether it's happening.

544
00:20:12,299 --> 00:20:14,700
We can talk about past examples. You know,

545
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:15,920
in 02/2015,

546
00:20:16,860 --> 00:20:19,900
was the rise of ISIS in Gaza financed

547
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:21,340
by the Israelis or something like that, which

548
00:20:21,340 --> 00:20:23,180
we don't have proof for. We can just

549
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:23,680
speculate.

550
00:20:24,059 --> 00:20:25,900
But now it's it's out in the open.

551
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:28,815
These are hardened militant, some of them, and

552
00:20:28,815 --> 00:20:29,315
criminals,

553
00:20:29,775 --> 00:20:31,634
and that's really what they are. They're collaborators

554
00:20:31,775 --> 00:20:34,414
and criminals more than they are ideologically committed

555
00:20:34,414 --> 00:20:36,815
to anything. But, of course, if you allow

556
00:20:36,815 --> 00:20:38,654
these people to take over, which they're not

557
00:20:38,654 --> 00:20:41,039
powerful enough to do. But if you were

558
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:43,059
allowed to allow these people to take over,

559
00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:46,559
they would rain terror on the people of

560
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:47,700
the Gaza Strip,

561
00:20:48,159 --> 00:20:50,399
and the Israelis are completely fine with that.

562
00:20:50,399 --> 00:20:52,159
And they're already doing that as you've recovered

563
00:20:52,159 --> 00:20:53,859
many times. Right? Ethnic cleansing,

564
00:20:54,184 --> 00:20:55,704
the I mean, all the white massacres. I

565
00:20:55,704 --> 00:20:57,144
mean, it's it's been going on since the

566
00:20:57,144 --> 00:20:58,744
beginning. And that's the most cartoonish part of

567
00:20:58,744 --> 00:21:00,664
all this is that, like you described, Jelani

568
00:21:00,664 --> 00:21:02,025
or whatever, you know, what is he calling

569
00:21:02,025 --> 00:21:03,304
himself now? Or that is that his new

570
00:21:03,304 --> 00:21:06,204
name? Yeah. Yeah. But the so, basically, now

571
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,039
it's the the group that was moments ago,

572
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,720
you know, we had a $10,000,000 bounty on

573
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,079
his head. The group they claim they're fighting,

574
00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:12,759
you know, and just on a dime becomes

575
00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:13,799
the man in the suit, and Trump's there

576
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,000
making a picture next to him. You know,

577
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,839
it's just so silly. And and and the

578
00:21:16,839 --> 00:21:19,480
ongoing claims and, you know, the Israel sweeps

579
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,825
in and starts building bases and has names

580
00:21:21,825 --> 00:21:23,664
for settlements. You know, it's just it's it's

581
00:21:23,664 --> 00:21:25,684
it's insulting to our intelligence to not be

582
00:21:25,904 --> 00:21:27,744
obvious about what that is. You know? But

583
00:21:27,744 --> 00:21:29,825
but what's interesting is it it's not even

584
00:21:30,384 --> 00:21:32,065
as you said, there are precedents around them

585
00:21:32,065 --> 00:21:33,984
doing that in general or rather specifically with

586
00:21:33,984 --> 00:21:35,809
these groups. But it's also in general, you

587
00:21:35,809 --> 00:21:37,090
can see that they've done this before as

588
00:21:37,090 --> 00:21:39,650
we've discussed many times. The you know? And,

589
00:21:39,650 --> 00:21:41,809
again, to be fair, very nuanced situation. It's

590
00:21:41,809 --> 00:21:43,090
not as simple as to say they just

591
00:21:43,090 --> 00:21:45,170
control them, but Israel has been shown to

592
00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:46,710
get money in the hands of Hamas

593
00:21:47,065 --> 00:21:48,744
many times in order to to keep them

594
00:21:48,744 --> 00:21:50,664
divided and keep the or rather keep the

595
00:21:50,664 --> 00:21:53,065
Palestinian people divided. So even in that context,

596
00:21:53,065 --> 00:21:54,265
you can see me. I think the point

597
00:21:54,265 --> 00:21:56,505
is they'll throw money at whoever for whatever

598
00:21:56,505 --> 00:21:58,105
reason as long as it suits their interest.

599
00:21:58,105 --> 00:22:00,285
And that's there's nobody that is, you know,

600
00:22:00,569 --> 00:22:02,009
unsavory enough for them is the kind of

601
00:22:02,009 --> 00:22:03,289
point, and they'll put money in the hands

602
00:22:03,289 --> 00:22:05,210
of anybody to achieve the ends. And it

603
00:22:05,210 --> 00:22:06,649
it turns around and then point those very

604
00:22:06,649 --> 00:22:08,169
people as the boogeyman they need to save

605
00:22:08,169 --> 00:22:09,529
you from. You know, this is I mean,

606
00:22:09,529 --> 00:22:12,345
it that's that's textbook US policy as well

607
00:22:12,825 --> 00:22:14,904
right in front of us. Yeah. We we've

608
00:22:14,904 --> 00:22:16,184
discussed the the Hamas,

609
00:22:16,585 --> 00:22:18,585
situation, which I think is rather different to

610
00:22:18,585 --> 00:22:19,724
this because Hamas,

611
00:22:20,184 --> 00:22:21,865
when we're talking about the money going to

612
00:22:21,865 --> 00:22:24,424
Hamas, we're talking about Qatari money, which was

613
00:22:24,424 --> 00:22:26,549
before going to Hamas, but they just changed

614
00:22:26,549 --> 00:22:28,309
the method of it and, obviously, it came

615
00:22:28,309 --> 00:22:28,970
in suitcases,

616
00:22:29,909 --> 00:22:32,390
for a period of time. And, this happened

617
00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:34,789
not just with Netanyahu, but with Yair Lapid

618
00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:36,890
and, Naftali Bennett as well.

619
00:22:37,269 --> 00:22:38,569
Those funds came through.

620
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:39,884
But,

621
00:22:40,845 --> 00:22:43,244
they obviously, in that situation, they didn't have

622
00:22:43,244 --> 00:22:45,325
a a solution for Gaza. This is something

623
00:22:45,325 --> 00:22:47,404
that I think everyone can agree upon. They

624
00:22:47,404 --> 00:22:50,204
didn't have a solution for Gaza. So they

625
00:22:50,204 --> 00:22:51,345
understood that

626
00:22:51,805 --> 00:22:55,240
if they just let the situation deteriorate to

627
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,919
a point of collapse in the Gaza Strip

628
00:22:56,919 --> 00:22:57,419
before,

629
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,539
and block all money coming in,

630
00:23:00,919 --> 00:23:03,000
and no salaries could be paid in the

631
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,159
Gaza Strip, then it would disintegrate into a

632
00:23:05,159 --> 00:23:07,419
situation of chaos, and it would,

633
00:23:08,134 --> 00:23:11,014
beget war, and it would cause a problem

634
00:23:11,014 --> 00:23:13,414
and a nuisance for the Israelis. The Israelis

635
00:23:13,414 --> 00:23:16,134
wanted to sideline the Gaza issue, and so

636
00:23:16,134 --> 00:23:17,974
they allowed this money to come in to

637
00:23:17,974 --> 00:23:20,375
allow salaries to be paid, and the likes.

638
00:23:20,375 --> 00:23:22,075
And and that's why the the funds,

639
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:24,779
had come in. And another element of it,

640
00:23:24,779 --> 00:23:26,559
of course, is definitely keeping,

641
00:23:26,940 --> 00:23:29,900
the Palestinian people divided, but that is more

642
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:32,059
like, more so what they did on the

643
00:23:32,059 --> 00:23:35,839
Palestinian authority side. The Palestinian authority are essentially

644
00:23:36,059 --> 00:23:37,200
a a full collaborator

645
00:23:37,579 --> 00:23:38,079
force,

646
00:23:38,825 --> 00:23:39,884
with the Israelis.

647
00:23:40,505 --> 00:23:42,924
They do their bidding at every single turn,

648
00:23:43,545 --> 00:23:44,025
and,

649
00:23:44,505 --> 00:23:47,384
they crack down on grassroots resistance in the

650
00:23:47,384 --> 00:23:50,424
West Bank. And even when Hamas in 2017

651
00:23:50,424 --> 00:23:52,279
tried to sign an agreement to bring the

652
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:54,619
Palestinian authorities by all of their flaws

653
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:55,740
into,

654
00:23:56,759 --> 00:23:58,599
control of the Gaza Strip. They wanted them

655
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:00,140
to take over the civil administration.

656
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:03,160
Israel and The United States collapsed it. So

657
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,220
they could have actually,

658
00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:06,299
achieved

659
00:24:06,944 --> 00:24:09,345
this so called old taking Hamas out of

660
00:24:09,345 --> 00:24:12,325
power. That could have been achieved in 02/2017,

661
00:24:12,464 --> 00:24:14,644
but they refused to do so. So,

662
00:24:15,345 --> 00:24:18,224
it's another point against them. But you're correct

663
00:24:18,224 --> 00:24:20,565
that they'll throw money at anything and anyone,

664
00:24:21,470 --> 00:24:24,289
in order to try and serve, their aims

665
00:24:24,430 --> 00:24:26,190
in the short term, and then they turn

666
00:24:26,190 --> 00:24:28,609
around and and and cry victim

667
00:24:29,150 --> 00:24:31,630
when suddenly things don't go their way. And

668
00:24:31,630 --> 00:24:33,470
even the this could be the case in

669
00:24:33,470 --> 00:24:35,954
Syria. Many of those groups that received funding

670
00:24:35,954 --> 00:24:37,494
and were operating in Idlib,

671
00:24:38,194 --> 00:24:40,434
you know, tomorrow, there could be a revolution

672
00:24:40,434 --> 00:24:42,355
in Syria, and some of those groups could

673
00:24:42,355 --> 00:24:44,914
take over. If that happens, now you might

674
00:24:44,914 --> 00:24:46,294
have a government in Damascus,

675
00:24:46,674 --> 00:24:47,085
which is,

676
00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:50,920
adversarial to the Israelis. I'm not saying that's

677
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:51,740
going to happen,

678
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:54,039
but there are certainly lots of groups there

679
00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:55,339
that are still adversarial,

680
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:57,819
to Israel.

681
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:58,619
So,

682
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,599
you know, and then they'll cry victim, but

683
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:03,434
it's like, well, you endorsed this. You endorsed

684
00:25:03,434 --> 00:25:05,434
this whole experiment, and then you were trying

685
00:25:05,434 --> 00:25:06,095
to normalize

686
00:25:06,634 --> 00:25:07,775
with one of your

687
00:25:08,235 --> 00:25:08,735
allies,

688
00:25:09,355 --> 00:25:12,894
Ahmed al Sharra, who you funded since 2013

689
00:25:13,115 --> 00:25:15,434
despite knowing that he was a commander of

690
00:25:15,434 --> 00:25:17,679
ISIS and the the group he was commanding

691
00:25:17,679 --> 00:25:20,159
was Al Qaeda in Syria, and it still

692
00:25:20,159 --> 00:25:22,799
is Al Qaeda in Syria. The only difference

693
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:25,700
is the leadership of this Al Qaeda group

694
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,819
is controlled by foreign intelligence agencies.

695
00:25:29,679 --> 00:25:31,619
Ahmed al Sharra or Jholani

696
00:25:32,295 --> 00:25:34,375
has always been an asset of the MI

697
00:25:34,375 --> 00:25:34,875
six.

698
00:25:35,575 --> 00:25:38,134
And the others are different assets for other

699
00:25:38,134 --> 00:25:38,634
intelligence

700
00:25:39,335 --> 00:25:39,835
agencies.

701
00:25:40,855 --> 00:25:43,674
But underneath that, the militants that are parts

702
00:25:43,735 --> 00:25:44,715
of these groups

703
00:25:45,420 --> 00:25:47,500
actually do adhere to the Al Qaeda

704
00:25:47,980 --> 00:25:48,720
Right. Salafist,

705
00:25:49,580 --> 00:25:50,080
mentality,

706
00:25:51,420 --> 00:25:51,920
and

707
00:25:52,220 --> 00:25:53,680
they do hate Israel.

708
00:25:54,059 --> 00:25:56,940
So at any moment, that project could collapse,

709
00:25:56,940 --> 00:25:58,779
and then suddenly you've got all these people

710
00:25:58,779 --> 00:26:00,714
who want to attack you. And then they'll

711
00:26:00,714 --> 00:26:02,875
cry victim. Which they could still use, though.

712
00:26:02,875 --> 00:26:04,234
I think that's the mindset is that even

713
00:26:04,234 --> 00:26:05,914
if it spins out of control, it kind

714
00:26:05,914 --> 00:26:07,835
of makes their point real. You know what

715
00:26:07,835 --> 00:26:09,674
I mean? Like, it's self fulfilling prophecy. You

716
00:26:09,674 --> 00:26:11,274
know, it's so fast in the picture you

717
00:26:11,274 --> 00:26:12,875
paint there is I mean, you have to

718
00:26:12,875 --> 00:26:14,794
realize what you can prove these at these

719
00:26:14,794 --> 00:26:16,529
assets at the top, which is what they

720
00:26:16,529 --> 00:26:18,369
are. You know? It they and I think

721
00:26:18,369 --> 00:26:20,930
even was it Mohammed bin Salman that essentially

722
00:26:20,930 --> 00:26:22,369
admitted that at one point where he said

723
00:26:22,369 --> 00:26:24,289
that you know, pointing out that, yes, they

724
00:26:24,289 --> 00:26:24,789
essentially

725
00:26:25,090 --> 00:26:26,690
are behind a lot of these groups, but

726
00:26:26,690 --> 00:26:28,529
some of the people like, two things that

727
00:26:28,529 --> 00:26:30,930
the leadership don't necessarily believe, like you just

728
00:26:30,930 --> 00:26:33,045
said, in the ideology. It's more of a

729
00:26:33,045 --> 00:26:35,204
tool of manipulation, but it also it kind

730
00:26:35,204 --> 00:26:36,484
of said in so many words that they've

731
00:26:36,484 --> 00:26:38,325
lost control of some of these groups. Like,

732
00:26:38,325 --> 00:26:39,684
it just I forget what year that was,

733
00:26:39,684 --> 00:26:40,964
but I remember them he was there was

734
00:26:40,964 --> 00:26:42,404
a time where he was really speaking out

735
00:26:42,404 --> 00:26:44,005
a lot, like, I think it was around

736
00:26:44,005 --> 00:26:45,285
the Yemen point or it does not to

737
00:26:45,285 --> 00:26:47,339
get into I'm forgetting exact mindset, but the

738
00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:49,420
point that he said that publicly shows you

739
00:26:49,420 --> 00:26:50,480
that, you know,

740
00:26:50,779 --> 00:26:52,779
maybe that he's distancing himself from the loss

741
00:26:52,779 --> 00:26:54,700
of that control. But, really, the idea that

742
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:57,339
ultimately they are out there trying just throwing

743
00:26:57,339 --> 00:26:59,695
things into the situation, not caring that what

744
00:26:59,695 --> 00:27:01,134
they're doing, like you said, could spin out

745
00:27:01,134 --> 00:27:02,575
and hurt the very people on the ground

746
00:27:02,575 --> 00:27:04,654
that they always profess to care about. You

747
00:27:04,654 --> 00:27:06,494
know? But that that picture is so clear.

748
00:27:06,494 --> 00:27:08,914
We're talking about leaders, you know, CIA, Mossad,

749
00:27:08,975 --> 00:27:11,455
MI six, like, leadership moments that are guiding

750
00:27:11,455 --> 00:27:13,349
all this chaos. How can we ever stand

751
00:27:13,349 --> 00:27:14,789
back and pretend like those are the people

752
00:27:14,789 --> 00:27:16,950
trying to give us liberty and freedom and

753
00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:18,549
democracy? You know, it's it's so insulting to

754
00:27:18,549 --> 00:27:20,230
our intelligence, but it's a good picture you

755
00:27:20,230 --> 00:27:22,470
painted there. But let let go ahead. Go

756
00:27:22,470 --> 00:27:24,390
ahead. No. No. I I I I just

757
00:27:24,390 --> 00:27:26,710
said, like, this is the the the issue

758
00:27:26,710 --> 00:27:29,154
here is that every single time they pull

759
00:27:29,154 --> 00:27:30,134
off all these operations

760
00:27:30,674 --> 00:27:32,755
or they might assassinate leaders in a certain

761
00:27:32,755 --> 00:27:35,634
group or commit terrorist attacks somewhere using the

762
00:27:35,634 --> 00:27:36,134
Mossad

763
00:27:37,075 --> 00:27:39,875
or, you know, overthrow our government, and then

764
00:27:39,875 --> 00:27:40,375
suddenly

765
00:27:40,755 --> 00:27:42,455
after that government is overthrown

766
00:27:42,914 --> 00:27:43,414
or

767
00:27:43,730 --> 00:27:45,430
they assassinated a leader

768
00:27:45,890 --> 00:27:48,369
and suddenly a group or a country has

769
00:27:48,369 --> 00:27:52,070
become more hostile towards them or resistance forms,

770
00:27:52,690 --> 00:27:55,089
suddenly then they're crying victim. And and just

771
00:27:55,089 --> 00:27:55,990
as a small,

772
00:27:57,089 --> 00:27:57,589
point,

773
00:27:58,565 --> 00:28:00,964
to to take note of everybody, you know,

774
00:28:00,964 --> 00:28:03,545
talking about Hezbollah terrorist, Hezbollah, Hezbollah.

775
00:28:04,404 --> 00:28:06,164
And a lot of people don't know this,

776
00:28:06,164 --> 00:28:07,224
but when the Israelis

777
00:28:07,525 --> 00:28:10,085
entered into South Lebanon in 1982,

778
00:28:10,085 --> 00:28:12,565
the Shia pro population, which is what brought

779
00:28:12,565 --> 00:28:13,305
us Hezbollah,

780
00:28:13,730 --> 00:28:15,970
That's where the Lebanese resistance comes from is

781
00:28:15,970 --> 00:28:16,789
from the Shia.

782
00:28:17,809 --> 00:28:18,549
At that time,

783
00:28:19,009 --> 00:28:21,170
there were and then there is video footage

784
00:28:21,170 --> 00:28:22,930
of this. They were throwing rice at the

785
00:28:22,930 --> 00:28:24,690
feet of the Israeli soldiers. Many of them

786
00:28:24,690 --> 00:28:26,849
actually supported, not all of them, of course,

787
00:28:26,849 --> 00:28:29,505
but many Shia in the South actually supported

788
00:28:29,505 --> 00:28:31,825
the Israelis coming in. You know why? Because

789
00:28:31,825 --> 00:28:33,664
they, at that time, as, you know, they

790
00:28:33,664 --> 00:28:36,305
weren't, politicized in the way that they are,

791
00:28:36,705 --> 00:28:38,244
today. They believed

792
00:28:38,865 --> 00:28:41,184
that the PLO had a state within a

793
00:28:41,184 --> 00:28:43,190
state in their country, and they saw some

794
00:28:43,190 --> 00:28:44,730
of the activities of the PLO.

795
00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:47,109
And, you know, that was not to their

796
00:28:47,109 --> 00:28:48,650
benefit. You know, they were actually,

797
00:28:49,349 --> 00:28:51,349
being undermined because of the PLO in some

798
00:28:51,349 --> 00:28:54,070
ways. And so that created this anger, and

799
00:28:54,070 --> 00:28:55,750
a lot of the propaganda got through to

800
00:28:55,750 --> 00:28:57,805
these people, and they actually celebrated. But what

801
00:28:57,805 --> 00:28:59,965
happened when the Israelis actually came into South

802
00:28:59,965 --> 00:29:03,325
Lebanon? Well, they bombed civilian areas. They committed

803
00:29:03,325 --> 00:29:06,445
massacres against, civilians on the ground. And then

804
00:29:06,445 --> 00:29:07,565
after 1982,

805
00:29:07,565 --> 00:29:10,769
when the Palestinian resistance left to North Africa,

806
00:29:10,769 --> 00:29:11,430
to Tunisia,

807
00:29:12,130 --> 00:29:15,029
the Israelis used their Falange militia, the Lebanese,

808
00:29:15,570 --> 00:29:16,630
Christian militia

809
00:29:17,009 --> 00:29:19,269
to commit the Sabahran Shatila massacre

810
00:29:19,970 --> 00:29:23,570
and, then commit, subsequent massacres against Palestinian refugees,

811
00:29:23,570 --> 00:29:26,884
but also against Lebanese Shia as well. Right.

812
00:29:27,345 --> 00:29:29,745
And they occupied the South Of Lebanon, and

813
00:29:29,745 --> 00:29:32,245
that is what birthed in 1985

814
00:29:32,465 --> 00:29:32,965
Hezbollah

815
00:29:33,585 --> 00:29:34,404
from a population

816
00:29:34,945 --> 00:29:37,365
that prior to that was not actually

817
00:29:37,904 --> 00:29:38,404
active,

818
00:29:39,470 --> 00:29:41,309
in in the struggle. There was the ML

819
00:29:41,309 --> 00:29:43,890
movement, but the ML movement was not as,

820
00:29:44,590 --> 00:29:46,509
hard line at that point. It actually had

821
00:29:46,509 --> 00:29:48,750
a lot of problems with, the PLO. It

822
00:29:48,750 --> 00:29:50,269
it will it would take a bit of

823
00:29:50,269 --> 00:29:50,990
time to get into that,

824
00:29:52,304 --> 00:29:54,884
that equation there. But, you know, in general,

825
00:29:55,024 --> 00:29:57,105
they did not have a population in South

826
00:29:57,105 --> 00:29:59,924
Lebanon like it is today. Mhmm. They created

827
00:29:59,984 --> 00:30:01,605
that by killing them,

828
00:30:01,984 --> 00:30:05,049
by subjugating them, by occupying them. And then

829
00:30:05,049 --> 00:30:07,210
they turn around and they go, why do

830
00:30:07,210 --> 00:30:08,490
these people hate us, and why are they

831
00:30:08,490 --> 00:30:10,809
firing ballistic missiles at us? But it's like,

832
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:13,529
well, because you committed massacres against them. And

833
00:30:13,529 --> 00:30:15,930
even today, they say, well, the pager attack

834
00:30:15,930 --> 00:30:16,990
was so specific.

835
00:30:17,345 --> 00:30:18,865
The majority of the people injured in the

836
00:30:18,865 --> 00:30:21,825
pager attack were not Hezbollah militants. Right. The

837
00:30:21,825 --> 00:30:24,325
majority of people entered in the pager attacks,

838
00:30:24,464 --> 00:30:27,184
even if they were, family members or or

839
00:30:27,184 --> 00:30:29,664
part of the party, were civilians in a

840
00:30:29,664 --> 00:30:30,724
civilian capacity

841
00:30:31,220 --> 00:30:33,619
in civilian areas. Women and children were killed

842
00:30:33,619 --> 00:30:36,019
in the attacks, but they praise how wonderful

843
00:30:36,019 --> 00:30:38,500
this pager attack is. No. When you do

844
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:39,559
something like that,

845
00:30:40,259 --> 00:30:42,900
you turn an entire population against you. You

846
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:44,980
make you radicalize them against you, and you

847
00:30:44,980 --> 00:30:47,345
make them want to resist. So they praise

848
00:30:47,345 --> 00:30:50,005
it in the so called objective western media.

849
00:30:50,225 --> 00:30:53,025
They praise terrorist attacks like this, and then

850
00:30:53,025 --> 00:30:54,404
they turn around and cry victim.

851
00:30:54,865 --> 00:30:56,384
Right. Well, I mean, it's this is this

852
00:30:56,384 --> 00:30:58,545
is textbook terrorism. I mean, we've and anybody

853
00:30:58,545 --> 00:31:00,625
honest can see that. It wasn't over 70%

854
00:31:00,625 --> 00:31:02,069
of them were men and children. I mean,

855
00:31:02,069 --> 00:31:03,509
have you seen some of these lineups of

856
00:31:03,509 --> 00:31:04,890
of just, you know, the

857
00:31:05,509 --> 00:31:07,509
most gruesome examples of them? Like, I saw

858
00:31:07,509 --> 00:31:08,710
a picture. I think it was, like, seven

859
00:31:08,710 --> 00:31:10,549
or eight children and women and KL standing

860
00:31:10,549 --> 00:31:12,390
there with, like, missing eyes, an arm missing,

861
00:31:12,390 --> 00:31:13,909
you know, like, horrible things. You know? And

862
00:31:13,909 --> 00:31:15,349
and that they claim that they let it

863
00:31:15,349 --> 00:31:16,924
sit there for ten years. I think the

864
00:31:16,924 --> 00:31:18,924
evidence shows it was about five, but just

865
00:31:18,924 --> 00:31:20,924
floated around the community. I mean, the side

866
00:31:20,924 --> 00:31:23,105
point is obviously the concern of the infiltration

867
00:31:23,244 --> 00:31:24,605
of that kind of field in The US

868
00:31:24,605 --> 00:31:26,605
or anywhere else and whether that's something that's

869
00:31:26,605 --> 00:31:28,204
going on today. You know, Samson option kind

870
00:31:28,204 --> 00:31:29,805
of stuff. We know where that mindset is.

871
00:31:29,805 --> 00:31:32,200
You know, that's really terrifying. You know? But

872
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,960
the the the overlap to that, the the

873
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,200
ongoing violation of everything they're doing, I mean,

874
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,839
it's just so it's so obvious that what

875
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:40,140
they're doing is

876
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,240
everything they've always claimed they're fighting and how

877
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,759
frustrating it is to see all these corporate

878
00:31:44,759 --> 00:31:46,734
media entities like that go after it, praise

879
00:31:46,734 --> 00:31:48,095
it. You know, it just shows you how

880
00:31:48,095 --> 00:31:49,615
compromised all this is. And that's a a

881
00:31:49,654 --> 00:31:50,734
I mean, unless you wanna get into it,

882
00:31:50,734 --> 00:31:52,255
it's a conversation from the day that deserves

883
00:31:52,255 --> 00:31:54,755
its own discussion about the comp the potential

884
00:31:54,894 --> 00:31:57,934
level of infiltration, how compromised governments are. I

885
00:31:57,934 --> 00:31:59,099
mean, I just think that's

886
00:31:59,819 --> 00:32:01,339
one of the conversations of the day. Like,

887
00:32:01,339 --> 00:32:02,960
we really need to start understanding

888
00:32:03,339 --> 00:32:05,339
how much and how obvious it is that

889
00:32:05,339 --> 00:32:07,740
Zionism has infiltrated a lot of these governments

890
00:32:07,740 --> 00:32:08,859
in the world. If you have comments on

891
00:32:08,859 --> 00:32:10,539
that, go ahead, but it's a deep conversation.

892
00:32:10,539 --> 00:32:12,875
You know? It's a deep conversation, but there

893
00:32:12,875 --> 00:32:15,535
is absolutely no doubt Yeah. At this point.

894
00:32:15,674 --> 00:32:17,375
I mean, what we're seeing,

895
00:32:17,994 --> 00:32:20,394
from not just in The United States, but

896
00:32:20,394 --> 00:32:22,654
in Germany and in The United Kingdom,

897
00:32:23,595 --> 00:32:24,894
of these regimes

898
00:32:25,669 --> 00:32:27,690
and their stances. I mean, in The UK,

899
00:32:28,150 --> 00:32:28,890
they're designating

900
00:32:29,349 --> 00:32:32,650
Palestine action, which basically goes to weapons factories,

901
00:32:32,789 --> 00:32:33,289
which

902
00:32:33,589 --> 00:32:35,509
provide the weapons to the Israelis to commit

903
00:32:35,509 --> 00:32:37,750
the genocide, and spray them with red paint

904
00:32:37,750 --> 00:32:39,714
or might knock out a few windows and

905
00:32:39,714 --> 00:32:41,394
stop the people from coming to work that

906
00:32:41,394 --> 00:32:44,034
day. They're designating them a terrorist organization in

907
00:32:44,034 --> 00:32:45,394
The UK. There's gonna be a vote, I

908
00:32:45,394 --> 00:32:47,315
believe, on Wednesday about it in the in

909
00:32:47,315 --> 00:32:49,815
the British parliament. And if that goes through,

910
00:32:49,875 --> 00:32:51,254
they're they're designating

911
00:32:52,089 --> 00:32:54,889
antiwar activists, most of whom came from the

912
00:32:54,889 --> 00:32:58,089
climate movement as well. Like, that's these are

913
00:32:58,089 --> 00:33:00,349
the kinds of people that they're calling terrorists

914
00:33:00,730 --> 00:33:03,129
Mhmm. In the West because of the Zionist

915
00:33:03,129 --> 00:33:05,544
lobby. And then there's no way of getting

916
00:33:05,544 --> 00:33:08,984
around it. These governments are completely they completely

917
00:33:08,984 --> 00:33:09,484
capitulate.

918
00:33:09,944 --> 00:33:11,804
And and I'll add percent capitulate

919
00:33:12,184 --> 00:33:14,505
to that pressure, and there's nobody that stands

920
00:33:14,505 --> 00:33:16,664
up. And that's because the political system is

921
00:33:16,664 --> 00:33:17,164
broken

922
00:33:17,599 --> 00:33:20,160
and money for their campaigns and, you know,

923
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,759
getting reelected or gifts or being accepted in

924
00:33:23,759 --> 00:33:26,500
certain circles is more important to these politicians

925
00:33:27,119 --> 00:33:29,519
than their their own constituents. They don't care.

926
00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:31,440
They don't care if that means killing children

927
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,900
in a foreign country and sending,

928
00:33:33,625 --> 00:33:37,164
weapons components like Britain sends f 35 components,

929
00:33:37,785 --> 00:33:39,464
still in Germany and The US are the

930
00:33:39,464 --> 00:33:41,785
biggest suppliers of arms to the Israelis. It

931
00:33:41,785 --> 00:33:43,944
doesn't matter if if they're committing genocide with

932
00:33:43,944 --> 00:33:45,325
their weapons. They don't care.

933
00:33:46,349 --> 00:33:48,109
Yeah. It it I I do believe, though,

934
00:33:48,109 --> 00:33:49,730
as I as I think we've talked before,

935
00:33:50,190 --> 00:33:52,670
that moment by moment, people are rapidly waking

936
00:33:52,670 --> 00:33:54,269
up to this. And I think that is

937
00:33:54,269 --> 00:33:56,269
a very clear reason why they're becoming more

938
00:33:56,269 --> 00:33:58,029
desperate by the moment. And I think that's

939
00:33:58,029 --> 00:34:00,375
why this seems to escalate even against what

940
00:34:00,375 --> 00:34:02,795
would be classic kind of, you know, justification

941
00:34:02,934 --> 00:34:04,454
for a little bit of restraint for whether

942
00:34:04,454 --> 00:34:05,974
or not they're belligerent. You know? Like, they

943
00:34:05,974 --> 00:34:07,815
recognize that people start to see it. For

944
00:34:07,815 --> 00:34:09,574
whatever reason, they seem to be pushing harder.

945
00:34:09,574 --> 00:34:11,275
You know? I think they sense the

946
00:34:11,574 --> 00:34:13,494
they're on a knife's edge. You know? So

947
00:34:13,494 --> 00:34:15,389
on that very kind of note, what do

948
00:34:15,389 --> 00:34:16,769
you think about the potential

949
00:34:17,469 --> 00:34:19,389
you know? I mean, I it's like I

950
00:34:19,389 --> 00:34:20,510
always feel like I don't even wanna give

951
00:34:20,510 --> 00:34:22,109
it credence the idea of a ceasefire in

952
00:34:22,109 --> 00:34:24,269
Gaza because of how obviously they've continued to

953
00:34:24,269 --> 00:34:26,269
lie about it and how obviously they never

954
00:34:26,269 --> 00:34:27,549
seem to you know? They're lying to us

955
00:34:27,549 --> 00:34:29,454
about what they wanna achieve. But just since

956
00:34:29,454 --> 00:34:31,454
it's it is popping back up on the

957
00:34:31,454 --> 00:34:33,695
point of a potential ceasefire in Gaza and

958
00:34:33,695 --> 00:34:35,454
Trump claiming he wants that again. You know,

959
00:34:35,454 --> 00:34:37,375
what's your what's your sentiment on that, on

960
00:34:37,375 --> 00:34:38,574
where that might go or where it is

961
00:34:38,574 --> 00:34:41,315
right now? Well, I'm always hesitant to,

962
00:34:42,255 --> 00:34:44,570
get excited about anything like this. By the

963
00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:46,809
way, that's wrong wrong, article I had up

964
00:34:46,809 --> 00:34:48,090
on the screen. So go ahead. I'll bring

965
00:34:48,090 --> 00:34:48,969
up the other one in a second. Go

966
00:34:48,969 --> 00:34:50,889
ahead. Well, that links into it because they're

967
00:34:50,889 --> 00:34:52,170
saying that Donald Trump,

968
00:34:52,489 --> 00:34:54,570
he wants to try and push for the

969
00:34:54,570 --> 00:34:57,230
Israelis to drop the corruption trial against Netanyahu

970
00:34:57,369 --> 00:34:58,510
as part and parcel

971
00:34:58,974 --> 00:35:01,875
of achieving achieving a ceasefire and a prisoner

972
00:35:01,934 --> 00:35:04,815
swap Oh, okay. With Gaza. So it is

973
00:35:04,815 --> 00:35:07,394
actually relevant, that article that you pulled up.

974
00:35:08,335 --> 00:35:08,835
Look.

975
00:35:09,614 --> 00:35:11,635
At at this point, you know, we've had

976
00:35:11,859 --> 00:35:14,179
twenty one months of these sorts of claims

977
00:35:14,179 --> 00:35:16,019
coming out about, oh, there'll be a ceasefire

978
00:35:16,019 --> 00:35:17,940
at this time in two weeks and, you

979
00:35:17,940 --> 00:35:18,440
know,

980
00:35:18,739 --> 00:35:21,719
at Christmas, you know, on Easter or whatever,

981
00:35:22,260 --> 00:35:25,239
Ramadan ceasefire or whatever it will be.

982
00:35:25,755 --> 00:35:27,994
We've been experiencing this, and we've gone been

983
00:35:27,994 --> 00:35:29,934
going through this time and time again,

984
00:35:30,474 --> 00:35:31,934
for twenty one months. And

985
00:35:32,315 --> 00:35:33,755
what I would say about it now as

986
00:35:33,755 --> 00:35:35,994
it stands is that the Israeli cabinet had

987
00:35:35,994 --> 00:35:36,494
a,

988
00:35:36,795 --> 00:35:37,934
mini meeting yesterday,

989
00:35:38,714 --> 00:35:41,250
and members of the cabinet were informed that

990
00:35:41,250 --> 00:35:43,349
there had been no progress on the

991
00:35:43,650 --> 00:35:45,969
ceasefire. None. They hadn't made any progress because

992
00:35:45,969 --> 00:35:48,710
the Israelis will not they will not cede

993
00:35:49,010 --> 00:35:52,025
to the key point that Hamas holds, which

994
00:35:52,025 --> 00:35:54,045
is that they want a a full

995
00:35:54,425 --> 00:35:54,925
comprehensive

996
00:35:55,385 --> 00:35:55,885
ceasefire,

997
00:35:56,265 --> 00:35:57,244
which is lasting.

998
00:35:57,864 --> 00:35:59,704
They want a lasting ceasefire. They don't want

999
00:35:59,704 --> 00:36:01,465
a a ceasefire for twenty days or something

1000
00:36:01,465 --> 00:36:03,144
like that. They want the ceasefire to hold.

1001
00:36:03,144 --> 00:36:05,224
And by the way, Hamas have already said,

1002
00:36:05,224 --> 00:36:07,244
we will cede power in Gaza.

1003
00:36:07,889 --> 00:36:10,130
We will cede power. They've said this. This

1004
00:36:10,130 --> 00:36:11,750
has been their position

1005
00:36:12,449 --> 00:36:12,949
for

1006
00:36:13,329 --> 00:36:15,190
the best part of at least,

1007
00:36:15,650 --> 00:36:17,730
six, seven months now that they've been open

1008
00:36:17,730 --> 00:36:18,469
about this,

1009
00:36:19,409 --> 00:36:20,230
perhaps longer.

1010
00:36:20,954 --> 00:36:23,434
They've said, we will hand over the Gaza

1011
00:36:23,434 --> 00:36:25,614
Strip to a interim administrative

1012
00:36:25,914 --> 00:36:29,775
body, which is formed of experts and people

1013
00:36:29,994 --> 00:36:30,735
and local,

1014
00:36:31,114 --> 00:36:31,614
leaders

1015
00:36:31,994 --> 00:36:32,894
in the society

1016
00:36:33,434 --> 00:36:34,655
to govern Gaza.

1017
00:36:35,049 --> 00:36:36,969
We don't want to have a Hamas rule

1018
00:36:36,969 --> 00:36:40,029
in Gaza. They've openly said it multiple times.

1019
00:36:40,569 --> 00:36:42,889
Israel does not care about that, and Israel

1020
00:36:42,889 --> 00:36:45,690
says even after, you know, defeating Hamas, they

1021
00:36:45,690 --> 00:36:48,704
wanna keep going. That they repeatedly said this.

1022
00:36:48,864 --> 00:36:50,164
So now we're hearing,

1023
00:36:50,704 --> 00:36:53,184
this talk. In my opinion, when we hear

1024
00:36:53,184 --> 00:36:54,565
these kinds of,

1025
00:36:55,905 --> 00:36:56,405
announcements,

1026
00:36:56,945 --> 00:37:00,325
it's normally to do with the Israeli domestic

1027
00:37:00,465 --> 00:37:03,125
audience. Because after Iran struck

1028
00:37:03,690 --> 00:37:04,349
the Israelis,

1029
00:37:04,730 --> 00:37:07,150
the appetite for the war in Gaza decreased.

1030
00:37:07,530 --> 00:37:10,030
It's weird because the, support for Netanyahu

1031
00:37:10,409 --> 00:37:12,409
increased because they believed a lot of his

1032
00:37:12,409 --> 00:37:14,809
claims, but the appetite for the war in

1033
00:37:14,809 --> 00:37:18,074
Gaza decreased because the people actually, you know,

1034
00:37:18,155 --> 00:37:19,994
got hit by a country that has the

1035
00:37:19,994 --> 00:37:23,214
ability to properly defend itself once. And so

1036
00:37:23,755 --> 00:37:27,195
the the Israeli population overwhelmingly wants a ceasefire

1037
00:37:27,195 --> 00:37:29,214
and a prisoner exchange. Now it's,

1038
00:37:30,234 --> 00:37:33,090
the vast majority of Israelis want it now,

1039
00:37:33,809 --> 00:37:35,010
because they wanna wrap it up. And the

1040
00:37:35,010 --> 00:37:36,849
reason for that is very clear. They they

1041
00:37:36,849 --> 00:37:38,769
say it openly. We're losing too much soldiers

1042
00:37:38,769 --> 00:37:39,430
in Gaza.

1043
00:37:39,809 --> 00:37:41,489
Our soldiers are being killed in a more

1044
00:37:41,489 --> 00:37:43,250
rapid rate now. We don't know what we're

1045
00:37:43,250 --> 00:37:45,809
doing. Our military operation is not working, and

1046
00:37:45,809 --> 00:37:48,005
we wanna get back to normal life. And

1047
00:37:48,005 --> 00:37:48,505
so

1048
00:37:48,965 --> 00:37:51,305
because that pressure is there, Netanyahu,

1049
00:37:52,244 --> 00:37:54,485
he knows that, well, I need to give

1050
00:37:54,485 --> 00:37:56,905
the people something to, you know, feed on

1051
00:37:57,045 --> 00:37:58,585
to sort of cool down,

1052
00:37:59,445 --> 00:38:01,285
you know, their sentiments and and try and

1053
00:38:01,285 --> 00:38:03,224
stop some of these protests again,

1054
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,039
within the Israeli society because he knows if

1055
00:38:06,039 --> 00:38:07,260
he goes to a ceasefire

1056
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,360
and he doesn't achieve anything in Gaza, he's

1057
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,619
lost the war per his own

1058
00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:15,019
announcements before his own people.

1059
00:38:15,494 --> 00:38:17,654
There is a question about, okay, his real

1060
00:38:17,654 --> 00:38:19,734
aim was a genocide, which we all know

1061
00:38:19,734 --> 00:38:21,894
that his real aim was, okay, we're not

1062
00:38:21,894 --> 00:38:23,574
going to crush Hamas. We're going to crush

1063
00:38:23,574 --> 00:38:26,214
the Gaza people. And then by extension, what

1064
00:38:26,214 --> 00:38:28,320
that would mean is basically that, you know,

1065
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,200
once we ethnically cleanse Gaza, well well, Hamas

1066
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,079
cannot exist then anyway. Right? That was his

1067
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:34,900
real strategy

1068
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,200
reading in between the lines and even reading

1069
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,380
their own statements. They they say it openly.

1070
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:40,260
But,

1071
00:38:41,304 --> 00:38:44,105
his stated goals were crushing Hamas and returning

1072
00:38:44,105 --> 00:38:45,945
the captives by force, which he's not been

1073
00:38:45,945 --> 00:38:48,045
able to do. And so his coalition

1074
00:38:48,905 --> 00:38:49,724
could collapse

1075
00:38:50,265 --> 00:38:51,085
in on itself.

1076
00:38:51,704 --> 00:38:53,224
And that's not just a bad thing if

1077
00:38:53,224 --> 00:38:55,630
it goes to instant elections and he loses

1078
00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:57,409
here because he can't actually,

1079
00:38:58,349 --> 00:39:00,590
have a vote of, no confidence against him

1080
00:39:00,590 --> 00:39:02,289
now for about five months,

1081
00:39:02,670 --> 00:39:05,389
because the last one failed. But even next

1082
00:39:05,389 --> 00:39:05,889
year,

1083
00:39:06,510 --> 00:39:07,409
come the elections,

1084
00:39:08,414 --> 00:39:10,494
if he loses his coalition partners, he's done

1085
00:39:10,494 --> 00:39:12,755
as a politician, and then that corruption trial

1086
00:39:12,894 --> 00:39:14,815
could come in and put him in jail,

1087
00:39:14,815 --> 00:39:17,215
and he knows that. Right. And, also, you

1088
00:39:17,215 --> 00:39:19,155
know, what is Israel after this?

1089
00:39:19,535 --> 00:39:21,074
I I don't think it's the

1090
00:39:21,410 --> 00:39:24,849
the same entity that existed before October 7.

1091
00:39:24,849 --> 00:39:27,730
I think Israel no longer exists. It's trying

1092
00:39:27,730 --> 00:39:30,050
to redefine itself. It's trying to expand its

1093
00:39:30,050 --> 00:39:32,610
territory. It's trying to achieve victories where there

1094
00:39:32,610 --> 00:39:34,630
is no victory to be achieved,

1095
00:39:35,735 --> 00:39:37,815
and and there is no Israel anymore. I

1096
00:39:37,815 --> 00:39:39,914
don't think an Israel exists anymore.

1097
00:39:40,215 --> 00:39:41,515
There is a

1098
00:39:41,974 --> 00:39:43,195
genocidal entity,

1099
00:39:44,055 --> 00:39:46,295
which is trying to redefine its vision and

1100
00:39:46,295 --> 00:39:46,795
redefine

1101
00:39:47,175 --> 00:39:48,875
what it is. Right.

1102
00:39:49,460 --> 00:39:50,599
And it's very divided

1103
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:53,380
as well. The the the Israeli society can't

1104
00:39:53,380 --> 00:39:55,779
even figure out what Israel is anymore or

1105
00:39:55,779 --> 00:39:57,400
even what order should be.

1106
00:39:58,900 --> 00:40:00,119
So, you know,

1107
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:01,960
all of this talk about ceasefire,

1108
00:40:02,565 --> 00:40:03,464
it is possible,

1109
00:40:03,764 --> 00:40:04,744
and I would say

1110
00:40:05,045 --> 00:40:06,025
the the largest

1111
00:40:06,724 --> 00:40:08,025
if it's going to happen,

1112
00:40:08,324 --> 00:40:09,224
in my opinion,

1113
00:40:09,605 --> 00:40:11,605
and I may be wrong. I've gotten things

1114
00:40:11,605 --> 00:40:14,005
wrong before. I've gotten quite a few things

1115
00:40:14,005 --> 00:40:14,505
wrong.

1116
00:40:16,170 --> 00:40:18,250
I believe that it would be to clear

1117
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:20,409
the Gaza front out of the situation, to

1118
00:40:20,409 --> 00:40:22,489
take Gaza out of the situation so that

1119
00:40:22,489 --> 00:40:23,869
they can focus on Iran.

1120
00:40:24,170 --> 00:40:26,109
Mhmm. That would be my guess,

1121
00:40:26,969 --> 00:40:28,815
if there is a ceasefire that is,

1122
00:40:29,295 --> 00:40:31,135
reached. It would be purely so that they

1123
00:40:31,135 --> 00:40:32,275
can focus on

1124
00:40:32,574 --> 00:40:34,755
Iran and take Gaza out because Gaza

1125
00:40:35,054 --> 00:40:36,574
in the case that there's an all out

1126
00:40:36,574 --> 00:40:37,554
regional war,

1127
00:40:38,014 --> 00:40:40,275
Gaza could pose an enormous threat.

1128
00:40:40,989 --> 00:40:43,950
They could. Especially, the Israeli military is focused

1129
00:40:43,950 --> 00:40:46,210
up up north with the Hezbollah attack.

1130
00:40:47,070 --> 00:40:49,150
It could pose an enormous threat, and I

1131
00:40:49,150 --> 00:40:50,450
think they understand this.

1132
00:40:50,989 --> 00:40:52,349
Yeah. So this is interesting. So in a

1133
00:40:52,349 --> 00:40:54,110
backward way, this could ultimately end up being

1134
00:40:54,110 --> 00:40:55,905
a positive from Gaza's perspective that this could

1135
00:40:55,905 --> 00:40:57,344
drive them to want to take it for

1136
00:40:57,344 --> 00:41:00,304
strategic reasons, which would whatever causes it, at

1137
00:41:00,304 --> 00:41:02,304
least a stopping for the moment would be

1138
00:41:02,304 --> 00:41:04,144
good in Gaza. Right? So, I mean, just

1139
00:41:04,144 --> 00:41:06,304
on a quick side note, prediction. Mark my

1140
00:41:06,304 --> 00:41:07,905
words, everyone listening. I'm willing to bet you

1141
00:41:07,905 --> 00:41:10,199
if that happens, here's what will follow. The

1142
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,420
Q community is gonna warp this into Trump

1143
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,199
deliberately tricked Netanyahu into bombing Iran, therefore getting

1144
00:41:16,199 --> 00:41:18,199
his attention over there to cause the ceasefire

1145
00:41:18,199 --> 00:41:20,280
because he's the peace president. Watch. I'm willing

1146
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:21,639
to bet you anything that's what happens even

1147
00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:22,380
though that's

1148
00:41:22,724 --> 00:41:25,204
absurdly ridiculous when you consider all the facts

1149
00:41:25,204 --> 00:41:26,805
on the table. Before we go into the

1150
00:41:26,805 --> 00:41:28,724
next part of it, though, there's a weird

1151
00:41:28,724 --> 00:41:30,805
element to this in the ceasefire conversation that

1152
00:41:30,805 --> 00:41:32,644
sort of lingered, and I wanted your thoughts

1153
00:41:32,644 --> 00:41:34,085
on this because I haven't seen it covered

1154
00:41:34,085 --> 00:41:35,605
that much. Now there was a point put

1155
00:41:35,605 --> 00:41:37,030
out, and I did confirm this with the

1156
00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:38,789
actual back and forth, like, the the the

1157
00:41:38,789 --> 00:41:40,789
back and forth of the potential ceasefire points

1158
00:41:40,789 --> 00:41:43,030
going around through the different mediators, which was

1159
00:41:43,030 --> 00:41:43,530
that,

1160
00:41:43,909 --> 00:41:44,889
I think, twice,

1161
00:41:45,510 --> 00:41:47,190
they put forward, like you just said, the

1162
00:41:47,190 --> 00:41:48,730
idea that they would remove themselves

1163
00:41:49,045 --> 00:41:51,605
from the conversation, which met what Israel pretends

1164
00:41:51,605 --> 00:41:53,385
at least that it actually wanted to accomplish

1165
00:41:53,525 --> 00:41:55,204
when we know it's nothing more than that.

1166
00:41:55,204 --> 00:41:57,304
But twice, it seems that the Israeli

1167
00:41:57,764 --> 00:41:58,664
US team

1168
00:41:59,204 --> 00:42:01,980
denied that and then reinserted the language that

1169
00:42:02,059 --> 00:42:03,700
kept them in or changed it to where

1170
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:05,019
it kept them in as opposed to remove

1171
00:42:05,019 --> 00:42:06,380
now. So would you have thoughts on that?

1172
00:42:06,380 --> 00:42:08,059
Is that even valid? Because I'd heard that

1173
00:42:08,059 --> 00:42:09,500
that would explain a lot, like, that at

1174
00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:10,539
the end of the day when it comes

1175
00:42:10,539 --> 00:42:12,059
to the real point that they're trying to

1176
00:42:12,059 --> 00:42:14,300
make sure Hamas sticks around because it's the

1177
00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:15,900
justification for their endpoint. What do you think

1178
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,340
about that? And is there any evidence to

1179
00:42:17,340 --> 00:42:18,635
that? Well, Hamas

1180
00:42:18,934 --> 00:42:21,574
have said and they actually have said this

1181
00:42:21,574 --> 00:42:23,574
for a long time, and Hamas have not

1182
00:42:23,574 --> 00:42:25,355
wanted to govern independently.

1183
00:42:25,655 --> 00:42:26,875
This is something for,

1184
00:42:27,894 --> 00:42:29,670
years that Hamas has wanted

1185
00:42:30,710 --> 00:42:32,869
to form a unity government. You might remember

1186
00:42:32,869 --> 00:42:34,569
that in 02/2014, there was a rather big

1187
00:42:35,190 --> 00:42:37,030
attack on the Gaza Strip, which lasted, I

1188
00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:38,389
believe, fifty one days.

1189
00:42:39,750 --> 00:42:42,489
And that started because Hamas

1190
00:42:42,949 --> 00:42:44,889
had attempted to sign

1191
00:42:45,545 --> 00:42:48,364
a unity agreement with the Palestinian Authority.

1192
00:42:48,905 --> 00:42:51,885
Hamas has time and time again tried

1193
00:42:52,345 --> 00:42:55,485
to step down and allow others to govern,

1194
00:42:56,105 --> 00:42:57,724
but it won't do that.

1195
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,880
It will it refuses to do that if

1196
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,820
that means sacrificing the weapons

1197
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,140
that protect people, that

1198
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:05,940
prevent

1199
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,760
there being an all out,

1200
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,059
ethnic cleansing.

1201
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,180
Mhmm. As horrible as what we've seen happen,

1202
00:43:13,194 --> 00:43:15,675
you know, unfold before our very eyes, the

1203
00:43:15,675 --> 00:43:17,614
Palestinians still have the ability

1204
00:43:18,074 --> 00:43:19,214
to fight the Israelis.

1205
00:43:19,914 --> 00:43:22,234
It's not, you know, an army against an

1206
00:43:22,234 --> 00:43:25,289
army. You know? These are guerrilla fighters against,

1207
00:43:25,369 --> 00:43:27,949
you know, one of the best equipped militaries,

1208
00:43:28,329 --> 00:43:30,250
armies on the planet, which doesn't actually fight,

1209
00:43:30,250 --> 00:43:32,730
by the way. It it it it's never

1210
00:43:32,730 --> 00:43:35,530
actually tried to engage the Palestinian fighters. If

1211
00:43:35,530 --> 00:43:37,369
it did so, then its casualties would be

1212
00:43:37,369 --> 00:43:39,284
in the tens of thousands, I assure you.

1213
00:43:39,684 --> 00:43:41,924
And they know that because in 02/2014,

1214
00:43:41,924 --> 00:43:43,704
they went in on the ground against Hamas,

1215
00:43:43,764 --> 00:43:45,464
and they got their asses kicked.

1216
00:43:46,164 --> 00:43:48,105
And and that's why they haven't gone

1217
00:43:48,565 --> 00:43:50,405
and tried to seek out Hamas. What they've

1218
00:43:50,405 --> 00:43:53,684
done essentially is they've hit themselves in armored

1219
00:43:53,684 --> 00:43:56,219
vehicles and in tanks. They've not even put

1220
00:43:56,219 --> 00:43:57,760
infantry next to those tanks,

1221
00:43:58,380 --> 00:44:00,059
and they just hope that, well, if if

1222
00:44:00,059 --> 00:44:02,219
an RPG hits the tank in an ambush

1223
00:44:02,219 --> 00:44:03,820
or there's an IED that goes off, there's

1224
00:44:03,820 --> 00:44:05,739
some injuries we can, like, quickly, you know,

1225
00:44:05,739 --> 00:44:06,719
evacuate them.

1226
00:44:07,099 --> 00:44:09,099
And they haven't fought them directly. The only

1227
00:44:09,099 --> 00:44:10,400
footage you can find

1228
00:44:10,784 --> 00:44:11,284
of,

1229
00:44:11,585 --> 00:44:13,744
you know, indirect combat where there's,

1230
00:44:14,065 --> 00:44:14,565
you

1231
00:44:14,944 --> 00:44:17,424
know, one force going after the other is

1232
00:44:17,424 --> 00:44:20,804
Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, the DFLP,

1233
00:44:20,944 --> 00:44:22,405
Fatah, who are the other groups

1234
00:44:23,150 --> 00:44:26,110
directly engaging the Israeli military. Mhmm. They never

1235
00:44:26,110 --> 00:44:28,210
engaged them. There have been a handful

1236
00:44:28,989 --> 00:44:30,530
of special forces operations.

1237
00:44:31,789 --> 00:44:33,630
Most of them failed. I think only one

1238
00:44:33,630 --> 00:44:34,690
of them succeeded

1239
00:44:35,885 --> 00:44:36,385
against,

1240
00:44:36,844 --> 00:44:39,085
the Palestinian groups. Other than that, they've just

1241
00:44:39,085 --> 00:44:42,204
sat in fortified areas and hid inside buildings,

1242
00:44:42,204 --> 00:44:43,984
and they've been ambushed by the Palestinians.

1243
00:44:44,844 --> 00:44:46,945
And that isn't in of itself a deterrent

1244
00:44:47,324 --> 00:44:49,105
because if you look in the West Bank,

1245
00:44:49,619 --> 00:44:51,380
whatever Israel wants to do in the West

1246
00:44:51,380 --> 00:44:53,779
Bank, it does. It does anything it likes

1247
00:44:53,779 --> 00:44:55,460
to do in the West Bank, and no

1248
00:44:55,460 --> 00:44:57,539
one holds them back because the Palestinian Authority

1249
00:44:57,539 --> 00:45:00,420
collaborate with them. So Hamas will not allow

1250
00:45:00,420 --> 00:45:01,799
their weapons to

1251
00:45:02,179 --> 00:45:03,480
them to drop their weapons,

1252
00:45:04,105 --> 00:45:06,265
and they will not allow an agreement which

1253
00:45:06,265 --> 00:45:08,265
will put a foreign entity in control of

1254
00:45:08,265 --> 00:45:09,325
the Gaza Strip.

1255
00:45:09,864 --> 00:45:11,625
They want a full ceasefire, and they want

1256
00:45:11,625 --> 00:45:13,305
the people of Gaza to run, and they

1257
00:45:13,305 --> 00:45:15,224
want the people of Gaza to still maintain

1258
00:45:15,224 --> 00:45:15,885
a capacity

1259
00:45:16,425 --> 00:45:17,565
even if it's not Hamas

1260
00:45:17,940 --> 00:45:20,980
being, the banner anymore, and they say we're

1261
00:45:20,980 --> 00:45:22,119
no longer Hamas,

1262
00:45:22,820 --> 00:45:24,440
for them to possess a capability

1263
00:45:24,739 --> 00:45:25,719
of self defense.

1264
00:45:26,739 --> 00:45:27,480
And so

1265
00:45:28,099 --> 00:45:30,484
that that's the major issue there is that

1266
00:45:30,484 --> 00:45:31,144
the Israelis

1267
00:45:31,445 --> 00:45:33,844
do not want to allow Hamas to step

1268
00:45:33,844 --> 00:45:36,164
aside and allow Gaza to govern its own

1269
00:45:36,164 --> 00:45:38,324
affairs and then those police forces and those

1270
00:45:38,324 --> 00:45:40,565
resistance fighters to go, okay. Now we're part

1271
00:45:40,565 --> 00:45:41,385
of the Gaza,

1272
00:45:42,005 --> 00:45:42,505
administration

1273
00:45:42,965 --> 00:45:44,905
because they're still gonna have their weapons.

1274
00:45:45,219 --> 00:45:47,460
Right. They're still going to maintain a capacity

1275
00:45:47,460 --> 00:45:48,360
to defend themselves,

1276
00:45:48,660 --> 00:45:51,219
and they can govern themselves. And they know

1277
00:45:51,219 --> 00:45:53,780
what's gonna happen when they gover Gaza governs

1278
00:45:53,780 --> 00:45:56,500
themselves. They will rebuild their territory. And if

1279
00:45:56,500 --> 00:45:58,260
Israel tries to attack them again, they will

1280
00:45:58,260 --> 00:45:59,000
defend themselves.

1281
00:45:59,335 --> 00:46:00,614
And they don't want that. They want a

1282
00:46:00,614 --> 00:46:03,655
defenseless people who are expelled from the land

1283
00:46:03,655 --> 00:46:06,474
or they're completely subdued, and they are incapable

1284
00:46:06,695 --> 00:46:08,375
of standing up for their rights. They want

1285
00:46:08,375 --> 00:46:10,074
them there in a cage in a concentration

1286
00:46:10,295 --> 00:46:10,795
camp,

1287
00:46:11,190 --> 00:46:12,789
and they don't have a solution for them.

1288
00:46:12,789 --> 00:46:15,030
Their only solutions are either to expel the

1289
00:46:15,030 --> 00:46:18,089
entire population or exterminate them all. Right. So

1290
00:46:18,309 --> 00:46:20,469
that is the problem that the Israelis have,

1291
00:46:20,469 --> 00:46:21,449
but they can't,

1292
00:46:22,230 --> 00:46:24,309
expel them all because if they expel them

1293
00:46:24,309 --> 00:46:26,005
all, then that creates that destabilizes

1294
00:46:26,385 --> 00:46:27,364
Egypt and Jordan.

1295
00:46:27,664 --> 00:46:29,905
So then suddenly, now you've opened up two

1296
00:46:29,905 --> 00:46:31,824
more fronts against yourself. Right.

1297
00:46:32,305 --> 00:46:34,324
So the Israelis are just genocidal

1298
00:46:34,785 --> 00:46:38,324
maniacs with the country's population, which overwhelmingly

1299
00:46:38,785 --> 00:46:40,885
agrees with this genocidal mania.

1300
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:42,460
And

1301
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,219
this is what they're carrying out.

1302
00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:47,000
And there's no other way to describe it.

1303
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,679
Yeah. And and what's interesting is you can

1304
00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:51,159
point this out. So exactly the point you

1305
00:46:51,159 --> 00:46:53,239
made, which I think the evidence speaks for

1306
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,639
itself. The intention was a genocide. I think

1307
00:46:55,639 --> 00:46:57,614
that's self evident at this point. And so

1308
00:46:57,614 --> 00:47:00,175
if your intention was always genocide, then then

1309
00:47:00,175 --> 00:47:02,094
even from a strategic standpoint, why would you

1310
00:47:02,094 --> 00:47:03,614
send in all those troops? Why wouldn't you

1311
00:47:03,614 --> 00:47:05,695
just or, you know, infantry. Why would you

1312
00:47:05,695 --> 00:47:07,454
just bomb them into submit you're like, well,

1313
00:47:07,454 --> 00:47:09,215
it's the submission is a different point. They're

1314
00:47:09,215 --> 00:47:10,489
not clearly, they're not even doing that. But,

1315
00:47:10,489 --> 00:47:12,329
you know, just bomb them relentlessly until you

1316
00:47:12,329 --> 00:47:13,609
kill them all. I mean, that it you

1317
00:47:13,609 --> 00:47:16,030
know, the my point is it explains itself.

1318
00:47:16,170 --> 00:47:18,329
You can see why they chose. Your point

1319
00:47:18,329 --> 00:47:20,250
is also obviously there. They know they can't

1320
00:47:20,250 --> 00:47:22,170
succeed in in any right. But my point

1321
00:47:22,170 --> 00:47:23,530
would be that there might be points where

1322
00:47:23,530 --> 00:47:25,049
you might do that. The reason they seem

1323
00:47:25,049 --> 00:47:27,005
not to is because they're not only sacrificing

1324
00:47:27,224 --> 00:47:28,585
their own people in that way. As you

1325
00:47:28,585 --> 00:47:30,105
can see, endless videos of,

1326
00:47:30,585 --> 00:47:31,404
hidden Palestinian,

1327
00:47:31,784 --> 00:47:33,625
you know, military elements running up and putting

1328
00:47:33,625 --> 00:47:35,304
bombs in the tanks, running away because as

1329
00:47:35,304 --> 00:47:36,505
you said, there's no one there to protect

1330
00:47:36,505 --> 00:47:37,784
them. You know? And it's it's just they're

1331
00:47:37,784 --> 00:47:39,704
willing to sacrifice those people because they know

1332
00:47:39,704 --> 00:47:40,579
it's just about

1333
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,039
mass execution, at least as my opinion, but

1334
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:45,039
I think the evidence speaks for itself. Well,

1335
00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:47,360
there's the genocide there, and then there is

1336
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,119
the performance that has to be put on

1337
00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:50,340
for the psychopathic,

1338
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:52,820
ill

1339
00:47:53,815 --> 00:47:54,795
Israeli population.

1340
00:47:55,494 --> 00:47:57,994
They're they are. They're they're they're a nation,

1341
00:47:58,934 --> 00:47:59,755
that are

1342
00:48:00,855 --> 00:48:01,355
sadistic

1343
00:48:02,135 --> 00:48:05,195
and support overwhelmingly according to all the polls,

1344
00:48:05,809 --> 00:48:06,309
genocide.

1345
00:48:06,610 --> 00:48:10,070
Yep. Overwhelmingly, they support genocide. So this really

1346
00:48:11,170 --> 00:48:13,969
quickly. The majority clearly does. That's proven time

1347
00:48:13,969 --> 00:48:15,409
and time again, but I do think it's

1348
00:48:15,409 --> 00:48:17,250
always valid to point out that there's not

1349
00:48:17,250 --> 00:48:19,090
an insignificant amount of people that do stand

1350
00:48:19,090 --> 00:48:20,289
up and push back on this stuff, but

1351
00:48:20,289 --> 00:48:22,505
it's definitely minor in compared. And I just

1352
00:48:22,585 --> 00:48:24,184
unless they're lying about it, which is possible.

1353
00:48:24,184 --> 00:48:25,704
I just I do see, you know, groups

1354
00:48:25,704 --> 00:48:27,465
of orthodox Jewish communities or people that are

1355
00:48:27,465 --> 00:48:30,025
saying Zionism is doesn't represent us. They're being

1356
00:48:30,025 --> 00:48:31,785
genocided. You know? And it's it's just large

1357
00:48:31,785 --> 00:48:33,945
groups, but it's definitely a small minority. I

1358
00:48:33,945 --> 00:48:35,465
just think that's important to point out. Jewish

1359
00:48:35,465 --> 00:48:37,969
Jewish people are different because then you're looking

1360
00:48:37,969 --> 00:48:40,050
at other countries. I meant I meant just

1361
00:48:40,050 --> 00:48:41,569
in Israel, though. But but you're you're right.

1362
00:48:41,569 --> 00:48:43,889
Go ahead. Are the Israeli Jewish population, like,

1363
00:48:43,889 --> 00:48:44,550
the ultraorthodox

1364
00:48:45,010 --> 00:48:46,389
are another question.

1365
00:48:47,329 --> 00:48:47,989
You know,

1366
00:48:48,530 --> 00:48:50,355
they're they don't actively participate

1367
00:48:51,554 --> 00:48:53,600
in the Israeli military in their views. They

1368
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,155
don't really care about a modern nation state

1369
00:48:55,155 --> 00:48:55,715
per se.

1370
00:48:56,914 --> 00:48:58,914
And there are elements of them that have,

1371
00:48:58,914 --> 00:49:00,994
you know, come out and their groups that

1372
00:49:00,994 --> 00:49:02,054
protest against

1373
00:49:02,434 --> 00:49:03,734
the Israelis treatment

1374
00:49:04,359 --> 00:49:06,199
of Palestinians. It's not the majority, by the

1375
00:49:06,199 --> 00:49:08,139
way. Right. But it is a portion.

1376
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,480
And then there's, you know, some people that

1377
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,400
are more to the left. There's a very

1378
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,179
small portion of these people.

1379
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,880
It's a very, very, very, very, very small

1380
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:18,920
portion of the Israeli,

1381
00:49:19,894 --> 00:49:22,155
population, but they do exist, of course.

1382
00:49:23,255 --> 00:49:25,014
Of course, then you have Jewish people in

1383
00:49:25,014 --> 00:49:27,175
other countries, which, you know, are standing up,

1384
00:49:27,414 --> 00:49:28,775
you know, in all of the protests, and

1385
00:49:28,775 --> 00:49:30,875
we see the actions of Jewish people,

1386
00:49:31,375 --> 00:49:33,734
in The UK or in Germany or in

1387
00:49:33,734 --> 00:49:36,319
France or The United States, Canada, etcetera.

1388
00:49:37,019 --> 00:49:38,079
That's another question.

1389
00:49:38,779 --> 00:49:40,719
But in terms of the Israeli

1390
00:49:41,260 --> 00:49:43,119
majority of the Israeli Jewish society,

1391
00:49:43,420 --> 00:49:44,639
all the polls demonstrate.

1392
00:49:45,579 --> 00:49:47,199
They not only do they not,

1393
00:49:47,539 --> 00:49:49,905
do they support genocide killing everyone in the

1394
00:49:49,905 --> 00:49:51,664
city that they capture when it comes to

1395
00:49:51,664 --> 00:49:53,844
Gaza. Mhmm. They also overwhelmingly

1396
00:49:54,304 --> 00:49:57,344
support not caring about civilian life when they're

1397
00:49:57,344 --> 00:49:59,684
bombing Iran. They did polls on this recently.

1398
00:50:00,144 --> 00:50:01,585
I think a 73%

1399
00:50:01,585 --> 00:50:03,744
of the Israeli Jewish population said they don't

1400
00:50:04,144 --> 00:50:05,445
basically, they don't care,

1401
00:50:06,019 --> 00:50:07,619
and they don't think there should be much

1402
00:50:07,619 --> 00:50:08,119
consideration

1403
00:50:08,820 --> 00:50:09,719
for civilians

1404
00:50:10,260 --> 00:50:11,480
when bombing Iran.

1405
00:50:11,940 --> 00:50:14,179
That is the population they're dealing with. And

1406
00:50:14,179 --> 00:50:17,139
so the Israeli media and the Israeli political

1407
00:50:17,139 --> 00:50:17,639
leadership

1408
00:50:17,940 --> 00:50:19,559
have to deal with this psychotic

1409
00:50:20,019 --> 00:50:20,519
population,

1410
00:50:21,315 --> 00:50:23,255
which are quite frankly

1411
00:50:23,635 --> 00:50:24,135
genocidal,

1412
00:50:24,914 --> 00:50:27,014
the vast majority of them.

1413
00:50:27,474 --> 00:50:29,734
And they have to convince them, you're winning.

1414
00:50:29,954 --> 00:50:30,775
You're the heroes.

1415
00:50:31,074 --> 00:50:33,494
Right. Also, you're victims at the same time,

1416
00:50:33,635 --> 00:50:34,295
and Netanyahu's

1417
00:50:34,594 --> 00:50:36,355
doing this. And then he's gonna try to

1418
00:50:36,514 --> 00:50:38,410
and there's gotta be this big theater. And

1419
00:50:38,410 --> 00:50:40,430
that's why the army's in there, like, operation

1420
00:50:40,489 --> 00:50:43,289
Gideon's chariots too, which just started around, like,

1421
00:50:43,289 --> 00:50:44,730
I think a month ago now. I can't

1422
00:50:44,730 --> 00:50:45,230
remember.

1423
00:50:45,849 --> 00:50:47,449
Was supposed to be phase two of the

1424
00:50:47,449 --> 00:50:49,690
war, and I remember writing articles when it

1425
00:50:49,690 --> 00:50:51,554
just started. And I said this will be

1426
00:50:51,554 --> 00:50:53,394
exactly more of the same of what we

1427
00:50:53,394 --> 00:50:55,474
saw in the first phase so called of

1428
00:50:55,474 --> 00:50:57,875
the war. There will be nothing different. The

1429
00:50:57,875 --> 00:50:59,954
Israeli military I I laid it out step

1430
00:50:59,954 --> 00:51:02,275
by step Mhmm. And exactly what I said

1431
00:51:02,275 --> 00:51:02,775
happened.

1432
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,679
And and now this operation Gideon's chariots, its

1433
00:51:06,679 --> 00:51:08,059
wheels have fallen off,

1434
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,920
and it and it's achieved absolutely nothing. And

1435
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,159
they haven't done all these big operations, and

1436
00:51:13,159 --> 00:51:15,159
we're gonna go in and smash Hamas and

1437
00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:17,000
Khan Yunus and then Deir El Barak, and,

1438
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,199
oh, we're gonna do this and this and

1439
00:51:18,199 --> 00:51:20,934
this, and we're gonna achieve victory over the

1440
00:51:20,934 --> 00:51:21,434
telangi

1441
00:51:21,815 --> 00:51:22,715
and all of this.

1442
00:51:23,494 --> 00:51:24,875
They haven't achieved that.

1443
00:51:25,894 --> 00:51:27,894
And, obviously, they haven't achieved that. And now

1444
00:51:27,894 --> 00:51:30,054
the Israeli public go, oh, well, we're getting

1445
00:51:30,054 --> 00:51:32,054
killed. Our soldiers are being killed. It's like,

1446
00:51:32,054 --> 00:51:34,460
yeah. Well, you're going and and running incursions

1447
00:51:34,519 --> 00:51:36,940
into areas where armed groups are. Mhmm.

1448
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,659
And these armed groups are people who've lost

1449
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,760
sometimes their entire families, and you're like, oh,

1450
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,920
our poor soldiers are being killed. So now

1451
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,219
there has to be a performance.

1452
00:51:46,944 --> 00:51:47,684
And Netanyahu

1453
00:51:47,984 --> 00:51:49,664
has to put on a performance for his

1454
00:51:49,664 --> 00:51:50,885
psychotic population

1455
00:51:51,264 --> 00:51:52,005
who are

1456
00:51:52,464 --> 00:51:52,964
so

1457
00:51:53,344 --> 00:51:53,844
insane

1458
00:51:54,304 --> 00:51:56,304
that it's like, well, when we lose seven

1459
00:51:56,304 --> 00:51:58,224
soldiers, it's the end of the world, but

1460
00:51:58,224 --> 00:52:01,125
it's okay that we massacre 50 children today.

1461
00:52:01,550 --> 00:52:03,710
It's okay that we starve to deaf children

1462
00:52:03,710 --> 00:52:04,210
today.

1463
00:52:04,750 --> 00:52:07,389
It's okay that we tested new chemical munitions

1464
00:52:07,389 --> 00:52:09,789
on them today. It's okay that we lured

1465
00:52:09,789 --> 00:52:11,250
people into an aid point,

1466
00:52:11,869 --> 00:52:13,630
after starving them and then shot them in

1467
00:52:13,630 --> 00:52:15,570
the head today. But how dare

1468
00:52:15,994 --> 00:52:18,394
our 19 year old sergeants, which is another

1469
00:52:18,394 --> 00:52:19,614
thing of their participation

1470
00:52:19,994 --> 00:52:22,335
trophy army. It's not a real army.

1471
00:52:22,954 --> 00:52:25,275
19 year old sergeants. Oh, no. Six of

1472
00:52:25,275 --> 00:52:27,515
our 19 year old sergeants, which were placed

1473
00:52:27,515 --> 00:52:30,494
in one armored personnel carrier were killed today.

1474
00:52:30,619 --> 00:52:32,400
Oh my god. We need a ceasefire.

1475
00:52:33,019 --> 00:52:34,000
Oh, we're suffering.

1476
00:52:34,460 --> 00:52:35,519
Oh, it's so horrible.

1477
00:52:36,219 --> 00:52:38,719
And then here comes the performance by Netanyahu

1478
00:52:39,739 --> 00:52:41,500
to to, you know, make them feel good

1479
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:43,820
about themselves just like when they, they kept

1480
00:52:43,820 --> 00:52:45,199
delaying Gideon's chariot.

1481
00:52:45,515 --> 00:52:48,795
And the performance came. These statements by Iel

1482
00:52:48,795 --> 00:52:51,195
Zamir, the, chief of staff of the Israeli

1483
00:52:51,195 --> 00:52:53,994
military, we will launch a crushing blow against

1484
00:52:53,994 --> 00:52:54,494
Hamas,

1485
00:52:54,795 --> 00:52:56,555
and we are going to destroy them, and

1486
00:52:56,555 --> 00:52:57,914
we're gonna do this, and we're gonna do

1487
00:52:57,914 --> 00:53:00,349
that. All these statements about we have new

1488
00:53:00,349 --> 00:53:02,349
weapons, and The US have given us this,

1489
00:53:02,349 --> 00:53:04,190
and and then they go in and nothing

1490
00:53:04,190 --> 00:53:06,750
happens. It's just more bombing of civilian areas,

1491
00:53:06,750 --> 00:53:08,190
and then their troops go in and do

1492
00:53:08,190 --> 00:53:10,530
exactly what they did before and get killed.

1493
00:53:10,974 --> 00:53:12,434
It it's just it's

1494
00:53:12,974 --> 00:53:13,375
it's,

1495
00:53:13,855 --> 00:53:15,375
I don't know. It's you can't make this

1496
00:53:15,375 --> 00:53:16,514
stuff up. It's just

1497
00:53:16,815 --> 00:53:18,835
so psychotic and covering it.

1498
00:53:19,295 --> 00:53:20,194
It quite frankly,

1499
00:53:20,894 --> 00:53:22,335
it gives you a headache. It gives you

1500
00:53:22,335 --> 00:53:24,494
a headache trying to because even as I'm

1501
00:53:24,494 --> 00:53:25,795
explaining it to you,

1502
00:53:26,460 --> 00:53:26,960
I

1503
00:53:27,420 --> 00:53:28,239
can't can't

1504
00:53:28,539 --> 00:53:31,440
contain myself, but to use words like psychotic

1505
00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:32,239
and sadistic

1506
00:53:32,619 --> 00:53:34,239
because it's so insane.

1507
00:53:34,619 --> 00:53:36,699
It is. I mean, it's it's compelling. Remain

1508
00:53:36,699 --> 00:53:37,199
objective.

1509
00:53:37,500 --> 00:53:38,639
It's just insane.

1510
00:53:39,005 --> 00:53:40,285
It is. And and it's you know what

1511
00:53:40,285 --> 00:53:41,644
it is, Robert, at least in my opinion,

1512
00:53:41,644 --> 00:53:43,965
is that it's it's obvious. It's it's when

1513
00:53:43,965 --> 00:53:46,045
you're looking at something that is self evident.

1514
00:53:46,045 --> 00:53:47,885
You know? It's and they're just making up

1515
00:53:47,885 --> 00:53:49,644
a narrative around why it's not that, and

1516
00:53:49,644 --> 00:53:51,940
then that alone is frustrating. You know? But

1517
00:53:51,940 --> 00:53:54,260
then that you get these massive influential groups

1518
00:53:54,260 --> 00:53:56,660
of people who you clearly know they know

1519
00:53:56,660 --> 00:53:58,340
that's not true, that don't care, and then

1520
00:53:58,340 --> 00:54:00,579
drive you know, create these narrative stories around

1521
00:54:00,579 --> 00:54:02,820
the lie, and that becomes this massive thing.

1522
00:54:02,820 --> 00:54:05,140
You it's it's, like, exhausting that we even

1523
00:54:05,140 --> 00:54:06,384
have to why do we even have to

1524
00:54:06,384 --> 00:54:08,545
step into that ridiculous conversation? Like, I get

1525
00:54:08,545 --> 00:54:09,764
it. It's it's overwhelmingly

1526
00:54:10,065 --> 00:54:11,744
frustrating. But, you know, I think what's

1527
00:54:12,625 --> 00:54:15,025
the the whole thing is that, clearly, we

1528
00:54:15,025 --> 00:54:17,025
all can see based on the evidence what's

1529
00:54:17,025 --> 00:54:19,505
actually taking place. We we should stop, you

1530
00:54:19,505 --> 00:54:20,324
know, even

1531
00:54:21,260 --> 00:54:23,500
giving these people time about the arguments. The

1532
00:54:23,500 --> 00:54:25,339
problem is that they have influence. They've got

1533
00:54:25,339 --> 00:54:27,659
funding. They've got resources. You know? And, clearly,

1534
00:54:27,659 --> 00:54:29,019
they do have an effect on some people.

1535
00:54:29,019 --> 00:54:30,219
Back to my point, though, is I think

1536
00:54:30,219 --> 00:54:32,460
that most people are seeing this because of

1537
00:54:32,460 --> 00:54:34,300
work like yours, because of the efforts that

1538
00:54:34,300 --> 00:54:35,900
we're continuing to put forward. And I think

1539
00:54:35,900 --> 00:54:38,035
there's something, you know, powerful there. You know?

1540
00:54:38,035 --> 00:54:39,795
But it's only gonna get crazier. They're only

1541
00:54:39,795 --> 00:54:42,775
gonna get more absurd and more forceful and

1542
00:54:42,835 --> 00:54:45,235
scream more racism, you know, as this continues

1543
00:54:45,235 --> 00:54:46,594
on. So I think that the point is

1544
00:54:46,594 --> 00:54:47,954
to keep doing what we're doing and keep

1545
00:54:47,954 --> 00:54:50,190
highlighting this. I know you have a short

1546
00:54:50,190 --> 00:54:52,110
limited time. We're on up against the hour

1547
00:54:52,110 --> 00:54:53,869
here. You wanna talk about Iran before we

1548
00:54:53,869 --> 00:54:55,550
go today a little bit more about the

1549
00:54:55,550 --> 00:54:56,829
same kind of stuff we talked about, but

1550
00:54:56,829 --> 00:54:58,429
we've been touching on a little bit. You

1551
00:54:58,429 --> 00:55:00,429
know, give me your, you know, five minute

1552
00:55:00,429 --> 00:55:02,429
overview of what's happening there and, you know,

1553
00:55:02,429 --> 00:55:05,085
the the the same thing, the the ceasefire

1554
00:55:05,085 --> 00:55:07,324
claims, whether the the validity of the bombings,

1555
00:55:07,324 --> 00:55:08,925
you know, whatever you think is most important

1556
00:55:08,925 --> 00:55:10,684
to encapsulate before we have to run out

1557
00:55:10,684 --> 00:55:12,285
of time here. I think there's a few

1558
00:55:12,285 --> 00:55:14,925
things to to note there with, the attack

1559
00:55:14,925 --> 00:55:16,224
on Iran. Obviously,

1560
00:55:17,005 --> 00:55:17,824
there is the international law and

1561
00:55:19,550 --> 00:55:20,050
disintegration

1562
00:55:20,349 --> 00:55:22,349
of the United Nations and its charter on

1563
00:55:22,349 --> 00:55:24,610
one hand, and then there's what actually happened.

1564
00:55:25,309 --> 00:55:27,070
Perhaps I'll start with what happens and we

1565
00:55:27,070 --> 00:55:28,530
can, you know, summarize,

1566
00:55:29,150 --> 00:55:29,890
the implications

1567
00:55:30,269 --> 00:55:33,010
on the international post World War two system.

1568
00:55:33,974 --> 00:55:36,715
When the Israelis launched their surprise attack, which

1569
00:55:36,775 --> 00:55:38,295
is what it was, it was not a

1570
00:55:38,295 --> 00:55:41,015
preemptive attack because there's no evidence that there

1571
00:55:41,015 --> 00:55:42,315
was anything to preempt,

1572
00:55:43,175 --> 00:55:44,875
and it was in the midst of negotiations.

1573
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,260
When they launched their attack,

1574
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,960
I believe that the biggest mistake they made

1575
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,760
was they went after residential areas because they

1576
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,960
invited the largest possible Iranian response in the

1577
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,119
first round. But what Israel did is it

1578
00:55:58,119 --> 00:55:59,639
thought, well, we can go after it. If

1579
00:55:59,639 --> 00:56:01,105
you read all the fintechs and what they

1580
00:56:01,105 --> 00:56:02,945
were saying, oh, Iran is so weak. And

1581
00:56:02,945 --> 00:56:05,105
if Israel does x y zed, then the

1582
00:56:05,105 --> 00:56:06,625
Iranians will be put on the back foot,

1583
00:56:06,625 --> 00:56:08,805
and we can close this quickly, etcetera, etcetera.

1584
00:56:09,105 --> 00:56:12,085
The Israelis went in, and they assassinated essentially

1585
00:56:12,144 --> 00:56:12,644
30

1586
00:56:13,340 --> 00:56:14,960
generals, IRGC generals,

1587
00:56:15,820 --> 00:56:17,519
and I think seven scientists.

1588
00:56:19,019 --> 00:56:21,179
And they took down residential buildings to do

1589
00:56:21,179 --> 00:56:24,699
this. They believe that Iran, like Hezbollah, would

1590
00:56:24,699 --> 00:56:27,039
be sort of knocked off balance by this

1591
00:56:27,184 --> 00:56:29,284
and wouldn't be able to mount a considerable,

1592
00:56:30,304 --> 00:56:32,484
retaliation. Hezbollah, in their case,

1593
00:56:33,344 --> 00:56:33,844
the,

1594
00:56:35,025 --> 00:56:35,525
strikes

1595
00:56:36,065 --> 00:56:38,945
that, eliminated its leadership, its senior leadership, and

1596
00:56:38,945 --> 00:56:40,244
some of its middle command,

1597
00:56:41,579 --> 00:56:43,260
it ended up putting it on the back

1598
00:56:43,260 --> 00:56:46,220
foot. Hezbollah was still capable of surviving and

1599
00:56:46,220 --> 00:56:48,059
and fighting on the ground and repelling an

1600
00:56:48,059 --> 00:56:49,039
Israeli incursion,

1601
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:53,099
but Hezbollah was seriously damaged. There's no question

1602
00:56:53,099 --> 00:56:54,695
about it in that fighting.

1603
00:56:55,315 --> 00:56:56,215
It was a blow.

1604
00:56:57,394 --> 00:56:59,875
Now it's recovering, but it's different. You know,

1605
00:56:59,875 --> 00:57:02,035
like, the Israelis could go in and attack

1606
00:57:02,035 --> 00:57:04,135
them in a way that nobody thought possible.

1607
00:57:04,195 --> 00:57:06,914
The Iranians, they completely miscalculated. They thought that

1608
00:57:06,914 --> 00:57:09,360
this blow was going to be, you know,

1609
00:57:09,659 --> 00:57:12,300
essentially, a knockdown blow, and the Iranians weren't

1610
00:57:12,300 --> 00:57:14,480
going to be able to find their, footing.

1611
00:57:14,780 --> 00:57:16,940
And even I spoke to, a range of

1612
00:57:16,940 --> 00:57:17,440
contacts,

1613
00:57:18,059 --> 00:57:21,019
military contacts, some analysts, and then some ex,

1614
00:57:21,820 --> 00:57:23,199
US military contacts.

1615
00:57:23,804 --> 00:57:25,505
And they all told me the same thing.

1616
00:57:25,885 --> 00:57:28,125
They said between two to five days, it's

1617
00:57:28,125 --> 00:57:29,964
gonna take Iran to just get back on

1618
00:57:29,964 --> 00:57:33,025
its feet. Don't expect any retaliation anytime soon,

1619
00:57:33,085 --> 00:57:34,545
you know, all of this stuff.

1620
00:57:35,420 --> 00:57:37,739
Iran's air defenses were taken offline for the

1621
00:57:37,739 --> 00:57:39,500
first portion of that attack because of the

1622
00:57:39,500 --> 00:57:42,140
fact that the Israelis have this vast network

1623
00:57:42,140 --> 00:57:43,360
of, collaborators

1624
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:46,619
on the ground inside of Iran, thousands of

1625
00:57:46,619 --> 00:57:47,119
them,

1626
00:57:47,420 --> 00:57:49,214
that had worked. You know? And most of

1627
00:57:49,214 --> 00:57:51,054
the attacks in the end were actually carried

1628
00:57:51,054 --> 00:57:52,894
out by Mossad agents and not by the

1629
00:57:52,894 --> 00:57:55,134
Israelis themselves. That really quickly that you brought

1630
00:57:55,134 --> 00:57:56,414
up in the past, by the way. You've

1631
00:57:56,414 --> 00:57:58,574
mentioned this discussion about the in the them

1632
00:57:58,574 --> 00:58:01,054
using these sleeper elements inside of Iran. So

1633
00:58:01,054 --> 00:58:03,230
I just wanna point that out. Yeah. Yeah.

1634
00:58:03,230 --> 00:58:04,670
And this is something that I believe they

1635
00:58:04,670 --> 00:58:06,670
were going to, to do in the event

1636
00:58:06,670 --> 00:58:08,829
of attack. Something I didn't anticipate is how

1637
00:58:08,829 --> 00:58:11,469
brazenly they went after civilian areas. Mhmm. And

1638
00:58:11,469 --> 00:58:13,949
those images on the first day of, like,

1639
00:58:13,949 --> 00:58:16,510
a dead toddler covered in ashes on the

1640
00:58:16,510 --> 00:58:19,015
street and, you know, a woman a mother

1641
00:58:19,015 --> 00:58:21,114
trapped under the rubble with her children,

1642
00:58:22,215 --> 00:58:25,094
that radicalized the Iranian population. And in fact,

1643
00:58:25,094 --> 00:58:27,494
you know, the Israelis and their puppet, Shah,

1644
00:58:27,494 --> 00:58:28,635
the son of the Shah,

1645
00:58:29,335 --> 00:58:29,835
this,

1646
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:31,180
you know, monumental,

1647
00:58:32,519 --> 00:58:33,019
loser,

1648
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,480
to be honest with you, came out giving

1649
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,360
multiple speeches calling for an Iranian revolution, and

1650
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,619
the the the regime is collapsing.

1651
00:58:42,994 --> 00:58:45,474
It's collapsing. Each day, it was collapsing even

1652
00:58:45,474 --> 00:58:47,414
more than it collapsed the previous day,

1653
00:58:47,954 --> 00:58:50,035
and nobody in Iran even came out for

1654
00:58:50,035 --> 00:58:50,934
a single protest

1655
00:58:51,235 --> 00:58:54,434
in favor of, this scumbag who by the

1656
00:58:54,434 --> 00:58:56,375
way, even his father,

1657
00:58:56,989 --> 00:58:59,170
somebody that is that openly a collaborator,

1658
00:58:59,949 --> 00:59:01,630
even his father probably would have put him

1659
00:59:01,630 --> 00:59:03,889
in one of his infamous torture centers,

1660
00:59:04,510 --> 00:59:06,589
for behaving in the way that he has

1661
00:59:06,589 --> 00:59:07,089
behaved

1662
00:59:07,469 --> 00:59:09,010
as a as a side note.

1663
00:59:10,034 --> 00:59:12,755
But they they tried this, but the Iranian

1664
00:59:12,755 --> 00:59:14,614
people stood behind their government

1665
00:59:14,914 --> 00:59:16,934
because of the way that they were attacked,

1666
00:59:16,994 --> 00:59:19,954
even people that hate their government with a

1667
00:59:19,954 --> 00:59:21,734
passion. Many of them flipped

1668
00:59:22,114 --> 00:59:24,214
because of the way that their civilian population

1669
00:59:24,355 --> 00:59:25,014
was attacked.

1670
00:59:25,369 --> 00:59:27,309
Iran, to everyone's surprise,

1671
00:59:27,610 --> 00:59:29,289
got back on its feet, got its air

1672
00:59:29,289 --> 00:59:32,329
defenses back online, replaced its generals, and launched

1673
00:59:32,329 --> 00:59:35,449
a devastating missile attack in the central in

1674
00:59:35,449 --> 00:59:38,489
Central Tel Aviv, which I was shocked watching

1675
00:59:38,489 --> 00:59:39,949
it live on the Mayadeen,

1676
00:59:40,625 --> 00:59:41,525
TV myself.

1677
00:59:42,304 --> 00:59:44,545
Within fifteen hours, they did all of this.

1678
00:59:44,545 --> 00:59:46,385
Mhmm. And the Israelis, I think, were taken

1679
00:59:46,385 --> 00:59:48,625
back. It was just missile wave after missile

1680
00:59:48,625 --> 00:59:50,724
wave after missile wave. And suddenly,

1681
00:59:51,105 --> 00:59:53,105
the streets of Tel Aviv looked like the

1682
00:59:53,105 --> 00:59:55,510
streets of Gaza. And Netanyahu came out. We're

1683
00:59:55,510 --> 00:59:56,789
not gonna allow this to be a war

1684
00:59:56,789 --> 00:59:58,230
of attrition. We're not gonna allow this to

1685
00:59:58,230 --> 00:59:59,909
be a war of attrition. The United States

1686
00:59:59,909 --> 01:00:00,650
gets involved

1687
01:00:01,190 --> 01:00:03,829
very quickly, and then they've wound this down.

1688
01:00:03,829 --> 01:00:06,170
In my opinion, this is not the end.

1689
01:00:06,230 --> 01:00:07,994
This is not the end at all.

1690
01:00:08,555 --> 01:00:11,215
This will definitely flare up again. The ceasefire

1691
01:00:11,434 --> 01:00:11,934
agreement,

1692
01:00:12,394 --> 01:00:14,394
it wasn't an agreement. It was just both

1693
01:00:14,394 --> 01:00:16,175
sides just decided to stop

1694
01:00:16,474 --> 01:00:18,015
because I'm not saying so.

1695
01:00:18,315 --> 01:00:20,974
Mhmm. There's no actual written agreement.

1696
01:00:21,519 --> 01:00:22,800
Got three things I wanna ask you then

1697
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,059
before we go really quickly. So the the

1698
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:26,579
what's your thought on the ceasefire?

1699
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,519
From from my research, it seems that the

1700
01:00:29,519 --> 01:00:31,360
statement was made by Trump, and he either

1701
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,280
was under the impression that somehow that was

1702
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,119
given to the Iranians or he didn't care

1703
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:36,795
that it wasn't, and then nobody even knew

1704
01:00:36,795 --> 01:00:37,914
about it, but they all kind of just

1705
01:00:37,914 --> 01:00:39,835
agreed, like you're saying? Is that kinda what

1706
01:00:39,835 --> 01:00:40,335
happened?

1707
01:00:40,714 --> 01:00:42,635
That's that's the impression that I've been given

1708
01:00:42,635 --> 01:00:43,695
as well. Oh, interesting.

1709
01:00:44,315 --> 01:00:45,914
It's just a weird thing to happen. It's

1710
01:00:45,914 --> 01:00:47,034
just, you know, what do you think about

1711
01:00:47,034 --> 01:00:48,474
Trump? Do you think but I find it

1712
01:00:48,474 --> 01:00:50,315
a weird way he he did that. Like,

1713
01:00:50,315 --> 01:00:52,099
that to me gives me the feeling that

1714
01:00:52,099 --> 01:00:53,460
he is being played in some way. What

1715
01:00:53,460 --> 01:00:54,340
do you do why do you think about

1716
01:00:54,340 --> 01:00:56,260
that? I feel like it it it is

1717
01:00:56,260 --> 01:00:58,260
that. I think the Israelis are the ones

1718
01:00:58,260 --> 01:00:58,660
that,

1719
01:00:59,219 --> 01:01:01,380
organize this because they wanted a ceasefire very

1720
01:01:01,380 --> 01:01:03,640
desperately. You could see that their air defenses

1721
01:01:03,700 --> 01:01:04,440
were collapsing,

1722
01:01:04,864 --> 01:01:07,105
that Iran only had to fight fire five

1723
01:01:07,105 --> 01:01:09,025
missiles to hit the targets that they wanted

1724
01:01:09,025 --> 01:01:11,505
to, towards the latter end of the twelve

1725
01:01:11,505 --> 01:01:12,005
days.

1726
01:01:12,625 --> 01:01:14,545
At the start, Iran had to fire, like,

1727
01:01:14,545 --> 01:01:16,464
200 missiles, you know, to hit all of

1728
01:01:16,464 --> 01:01:18,140
their targets. You know? In one batch, I

1729
01:01:18,140 --> 01:01:20,880
think they fired 50 and another a 150

1730
01:01:20,940 --> 01:01:22,780
on the first day. You know? And and

1731
01:01:22,780 --> 01:01:24,059
lots of them got caught by the air

1732
01:01:24,059 --> 01:01:26,400
defenses. But after a while of just pounding

1733
01:01:26,460 --> 01:01:28,000
away, those air defense systems

1734
01:01:28,539 --> 01:01:29,440
were essentially

1735
01:01:29,900 --> 01:01:31,920
null and void for smaller attacks.

1736
01:01:32,220 --> 01:01:34,545
Mhmm. So the Israelis wanted to end it.

1737
01:01:34,684 --> 01:01:36,045
And I think they just used Trump to

1738
01:01:36,045 --> 01:01:37,724
end it because they wanted to get out

1739
01:01:37,724 --> 01:01:39,585
of it. I think they wanted to experiment

1740
01:01:39,724 --> 01:01:41,565
to see what would happen if The US

1741
01:01:41,565 --> 01:01:43,184
attacked the nuclear facilities.

1742
01:01:43,565 --> 01:01:45,680
Evidently, I think at this point, and I

1743
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:47,760
could be wrong, some new information could come

1744
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:48,739
out which completely,

1745
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:50,660
debunks this.

1746
01:01:51,039 --> 01:01:52,720
But I think the whole idea of the

1747
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,280
obliteration of the nuclear sites is utter nonsense.

1748
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,239
I don't think there the Natanz facility seems

1749
01:01:58,239 --> 01:02:00,400
to have been very badly damaged before Doh,

1750
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,214
I don't think so. Some of the above

1751
01:02:02,214 --> 01:02:05,094
ground facilities were definitely taken out, but it's

1752
01:02:05,094 --> 01:02:08,614
something Iran can recover from. So satellite imagery

1753
01:02:08,614 --> 01:02:10,054
that show that. I mean, they're they've been

1754
01:02:10,054 --> 01:02:11,655
caught, as far as I'm concerned, lying about

1755
01:02:11,655 --> 01:02:14,315
the the the totality of it. Yeah. Exactly.

1756
01:02:14,375 --> 01:02:15,114
And and,

1757
01:02:15,420 --> 01:02:17,179
essentially, what they've done is they've actually, you

1758
01:02:17,179 --> 01:02:19,260
know, forced Iran into a position where now

1759
01:02:19,260 --> 01:02:21,579
it will be more it will accelerate its

1760
01:02:21,579 --> 01:02:23,760
pace at least in terms of enrichment,

1761
01:02:24,139 --> 01:02:26,059
if not actually getting a nuclear weapon. I

1762
01:02:26,059 --> 01:02:27,659
think that's what Israel wanted from it, to

1763
01:02:27,659 --> 01:02:28,239
be honest.

1764
01:02:28,684 --> 01:02:30,125
Maybe that that that could have been the

1765
01:02:30,125 --> 01:02:32,684
case. I think that, like, they they they're

1766
01:02:32,844 --> 01:02:34,144
part of this was experimental.

1767
01:02:34,764 --> 01:02:37,164
Part of this was they, you know, they

1768
01:02:37,164 --> 01:02:39,405
tried a certain attack and it failed. Mhmm.

1769
01:02:39,485 --> 01:02:41,485
Their missions failed. All of their missions failed.

1770
01:02:41,485 --> 01:02:43,599
They didn't achieve anything, but they still are

1771
01:02:43,599 --> 01:02:45,519
fixated on regime change, and they are going

1772
01:02:45,519 --> 01:02:48,239
to continue to pursue regime change. And we

1773
01:02:48,239 --> 01:02:49,940
would be naive to think otherwise.

1774
01:02:51,199 --> 01:02:53,119
And, I don't think it's a real you

1775
01:02:53,119 --> 01:02:55,280
know, I I I cannot see it being

1776
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:56,340
a lasting ceasefire,

1777
01:02:56,675 --> 01:02:59,234
whether it disintegrates in a few days, in

1778
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,775
a few months, or in a year.

1779
01:03:01,954 --> 01:03:03,155
You know, at the end of the day,

1780
01:03:03,155 --> 01:03:05,394
this is not a real agreement. It's just

1781
01:03:05,394 --> 01:03:06,994
not. And I don't think this can hold

1782
01:03:06,994 --> 01:03:09,155
for long personally. I think that soon you're

1783
01:03:09,155 --> 01:03:11,960
gonna seal, see more air strikes in Tehran

1784
01:03:12,099 --> 01:03:14,119
and more missile strikes in Tel Aviv,

1785
01:03:14,820 --> 01:03:16,579
and and that's going to be the way

1786
01:03:16,579 --> 01:03:17,480
that this goes.

1787
01:03:18,179 --> 01:03:20,099
But one thing I I would say, and

1788
01:03:20,099 --> 01:03:22,659
and I wanted to note this before we

1789
01:03:22,659 --> 01:03:25,525
end, is that this has been the complete

1790
01:03:25,525 --> 01:03:28,805
disintegration of the international order post post World

1791
01:03:28,805 --> 01:03:30,184
War two in the United Nations.

1792
01:03:30,644 --> 01:03:32,425
You you and the viewers

1793
01:03:32,724 --> 01:03:34,724
of this program will probably remember that in

1794
01:03:34,724 --> 01:03:35,945
02/2003,

1795
01:03:36,325 --> 01:03:38,744
the secretary general of the United Nations,

1796
01:03:39,130 --> 01:03:39,630
Kofi

1797
01:03:40,250 --> 01:03:42,650
Annan, came out and accused The United States

1798
01:03:42,650 --> 01:03:45,309
of violating the UN Charter for attacking Iraq.

1799
01:03:45,690 --> 01:03:46,909
Now at that time,

1800
01:03:47,210 --> 01:03:48,829
the UN Security Council

1801
01:03:49,210 --> 01:03:50,510
had previously voted

1802
01:03:50,809 --> 01:03:51,690
on a,

1803
01:03:52,170 --> 01:03:52,670
resolution

1804
01:03:53,050 --> 01:03:56,945
condemning condemning Iraq, but The United States failed

1805
01:03:56,945 --> 01:03:58,324
to get the second resolution,

1806
01:03:58,785 --> 01:04:01,265
which authorized the use of,

1807
01:04:01,744 --> 01:04:05,204
of force against Iraq. Therefore, it was illegal.

1808
01:04:05,585 --> 01:04:07,824
And the secretary general of the United Nations

1809
01:04:07,824 --> 01:04:09,840
said that The United States violated

1810
01:04:10,219 --> 01:04:12,699
the UN charter. There was at least some

1811
01:04:12,699 --> 01:04:15,099
opposition. The protests in the street against the

1812
01:04:15,099 --> 01:04:17,340
Iraq War were some of the biggest anti

1813
01:04:17,340 --> 01:04:20,320
war protests in human history. Right. This time,

1814
01:04:20,555 --> 01:04:23,835
there was no, you know, years of, weapons

1815
01:04:23,835 --> 01:04:26,235
of mass destruction and chemical weapons that we

1816
01:04:26,235 --> 01:04:28,715
gave to them, but, hey. Let's ignore the

1817
01:04:28,715 --> 01:04:30,095
fact that we gave them the weapons.

1818
01:04:31,355 --> 01:04:34,500
And there's this propaganda campaign didn't exist. The

1819
01:04:34,500 --> 01:04:36,500
public opposition, there were maybe a few 100

1820
01:04:36,500 --> 01:04:39,239
people protesting in Washington DC when it happened.

1821
01:04:39,460 --> 01:04:41,239
The United States and Israel

1822
01:04:41,539 --> 01:04:42,360
both attacked

1823
01:04:42,820 --> 01:04:46,039
Iran, a sovereign country, violating the UN Charter,

1824
01:04:46,099 --> 01:04:47,000
both of them.

1825
01:04:47,474 --> 01:04:51,394
And what did Antonio Guterres say? He expressed

1826
01:04:51,394 --> 01:04:51,894
concern,

1827
01:04:52,355 --> 01:04:53,315
and he urged,

1828
01:04:54,515 --> 01:04:55,175
de escalation,

1829
01:04:55,715 --> 01:04:58,934
and he condemned all sides equally. His statement

1830
01:04:58,994 --> 01:05:00,295
against Iran's retaliatory

1831
01:05:00,914 --> 01:05:02,454
strike against the

1832
01:05:04,010 --> 01:05:04,909
US CENTCOM,

1833
01:05:05,530 --> 01:05:06,429
in Al Ubaid,

1834
01:05:07,130 --> 01:05:08,250
airport in,

1835
01:05:09,289 --> 01:05:10,750
airbase in in Qatar,

1836
01:05:11,210 --> 01:05:13,469
was more strong than the Israeli

1837
01:05:14,170 --> 01:05:17,244
attack and The US attack on Iran. The

1838
01:05:17,244 --> 01:05:17,744
IAEA

1839
01:05:18,284 --> 01:05:20,764
had it basically has been captured at this

1840
01:05:20,764 --> 01:05:23,244
point by the Israelis and the Americans Right.

1841
01:05:23,284 --> 01:05:25,585
And it does their bidding. The whole international

1842
01:05:25,885 --> 01:05:29,025
order is gone. There's no there's no grassroots

1843
01:05:29,820 --> 01:05:31,360
anti war movement anymore.

1844
01:05:31,820 --> 01:05:33,900
The the United Nations is null and void.

1845
01:05:33,900 --> 01:05:36,539
Its charter is null and void. International law

1846
01:05:36,539 --> 01:05:39,099
doesn't matter anymore. None of these countries stood

1847
01:05:39,099 --> 01:05:40,940
up and went, wait. This is a violation

1848
01:05:40,940 --> 01:05:43,599
of the UN charter. Oh, wait. International law.

1849
01:05:43,900 --> 01:05:45,360
We're in the law of the jungle.

1850
01:05:45,714 --> 01:05:47,954
Right. That's that's where we're at. And this

1851
01:05:47,954 --> 01:05:49,795
is the result of what happened in Gaza

1852
01:05:49,795 --> 01:05:50,694
where we normalize,

1853
01:05:51,635 --> 01:05:54,514
slaughtering hundreds of people, civilians every single day,

1854
01:05:54,514 --> 01:05:56,534
and and nobody stands up against it.

1855
01:05:57,074 --> 01:05:59,815
We normalize genocide. We normalize mass starvation

1856
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,639
and all the human rights reports and all

1857
01:06:02,639 --> 01:06:05,380
of the UN reports and the ICJ ruling,

1858
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:06,980
preliminary ruling

1859
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:08,659
and the ICC warrants.

1860
01:06:09,039 --> 01:06:10,900
You know, the wrong statute is dead.

1861
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:12,659
The ICC is dead.

1862
01:06:13,025 --> 01:06:15,105
The all the organs of the United Nations

1863
01:06:15,105 --> 01:06:17,025
are essentially null and void and dead. The

1864
01:06:17,025 --> 01:06:20,224
only influence that these, you know, international bodies

1865
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:22,625
have is on public opinion. That's it. Right.

1866
01:06:22,625 --> 01:06:24,625
They don't have an influence on anything else.

1867
01:06:24,625 --> 01:06:26,239
So what Israel and The United States have

1868
01:06:26,239 --> 01:06:28,000
done is put the final nails in the

1869
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,719
coffin of international law and the post World

1870
01:06:30,719 --> 01:06:32,739
War two order, which was created

1871
01:06:33,359 --> 01:06:33,859
to

1872
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,019
stop in ideally,

1873
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,184
to stop the sort of atrocities

1874
01:06:38,804 --> 01:06:40,804
that we saw during the second World War

1875
01:06:40,804 --> 01:06:43,204
committed by all sides, but especially by the

1876
01:06:43,204 --> 01:06:43,704
Nazis.

1877
01:06:44,324 --> 01:06:46,425
So, essentially, what Israel has done,

1878
01:06:47,045 --> 01:06:48,344
Israel has removed

1879
01:06:49,045 --> 01:06:50,264
all of the safeguards

1880
01:06:50,644 --> 01:06:52,264
put to put together

1881
01:06:53,340 --> 01:06:54,079
by the

1882
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,480
world to prevent the resurgence

1883
01:06:57,180 --> 01:06:58,480
of Nazi

1884
01:06:58,860 --> 01:06:59,680
war crimes.

1885
01:07:00,220 --> 01:07:01,680
That's what Israel has done.

1886
01:07:02,780 --> 01:07:04,320
That's what Israel has done.

1887
01:07:04,619 --> 01:07:07,119
And that that's just the truth. Yeah.

1888
01:07:07,635 --> 01:07:09,255
It is. I mean, it's it's so

1889
01:07:10,034 --> 01:07:10,534
obvious

1890
01:07:10,835 --> 01:07:12,434
that this has been something that's been building

1891
01:07:12,434 --> 01:07:13,635
for a long time. And to your point

1892
01:07:13,635 --> 01:07:14,534
about the propaganda,

1893
01:07:14,835 --> 01:07:16,195
I mean, I think it has sort of

1894
01:07:16,195 --> 01:07:17,795
been there. We saw a really obvious ramp

1895
01:07:17,795 --> 01:07:19,815
up and, like, a focal point of propaganda

1896
01:07:19,875 --> 01:07:22,195
around WMDs. But as you cover, as we

1897
01:07:22,195 --> 01:07:24,960
know, the the the building of propaganda around

1898
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:26,640
going after Iran has been going on for

1899
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:28,480
decades. You know? And so this is interesting

1900
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,559
to see this sort of begin, if you

1901
01:07:30,559 --> 01:07:31,680
wanna say that. I mean, I think I

1902
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,119
do think this is the beginning of where

1903
01:07:33,119 --> 01:07:34,719
this goes in this kind of final part

1904
01:07:34,719 --> 01:07:36,079
of what they're trying to achieve. But I

1905
01:07:36,079 --> 01:07:38,079
think what you've highlighted today and the information,

1906
01:07:38,079 --> 01:07:39,574
I mean, this, it does give me hope

1907
01:07:39,574 --> 01:07:41,094
again that that, you know, you see this.

1908
01:07:41,094 --> 01:07:42,694
And I do I do think a lot

1909
01:07:42,694 --> 01:07:44,694
of other people see these things, many people

1910
01:07:44,694 --> 01:07:46,295
for the very first time. And I do

1911
01:07:46,295 --> 01:07:47,974
think that that is a hopeful moment. And

1912
01:07:47,974 --> 01:07:49,275
even the point about, like,

1913
01:07:49,574 --> 01:07:53,194
the international apparatus, the different mechanisms only essentially,

1914
01:07:53,655 --> 01:07:54,300
you know,

1915
01:07:54,619 --> 01:07:56,780
influencing public opinion. I mean, what that shows

1916
01:07:56,780 --> 01:07:59,420
me is everyone out there listening, the world,

1917
01:07:59,420 --> 01:08:01,519
you know, the the it requires

1918
01:08:02,059 --> 01:08:02,880
your involvement.

1919
01:08:03,260 --> 01:08:04,860
Right? This is where we need to step

1920
01:08:04,860 --> 01:08:06,619
in as the individuals and do whatever we

1921
01:08:06,619 --> 01:08:08,619
think in our personal lives and our inner

1922
01:08:08,619 --> 01:08:11,085
circles to try to point these things out,

1923
01:08:11,085 --> 01:08:13,244
call out these truths, and see this, you

1924
01:08:13,244 --> 01:08:15,405
know, something start to begin in that direction

1925
01:08:15,405 --> 01:08:17,405
because that's why that's the reality. Because if

1926
01:08:17,405 --> 01:08:20,284
we're not pushing our local power structures to

1927
01:08:20,284 --> 01:08:21,484
do what we want or, you know, the

1928
01:08:21,484 --> 01:08:23,725
the different ways we at least pretend represent

1929
01:08:23,725 --> 01:08:25,739
the government's work. And we have lost. We

1930
01:08:25,739 --> 01:08:27,420
are we are failing our duty from that

1931
01:08:27,420 --> 01:08:29,180
perspective as well. But I think that what

1932
01:08:29,340 --> 01:08:31,420
one bigger thing we can see is, you

1933
01:08:31,420 --> 01:08:33,579
know, a lot larger thing happening behind all

1934
01:08:33,579 --> 01:08:35,420
of this. I think you very clearly highlighted

1935
01:08:35,420 --> 01:08:37,425
all the manipulations through these things, but I

1936
01:08:37,425 --> 01:08:40,005
think there's a bigger dynamic happening. Like, that

1937
01:08:40,145 --> 01:08:42,225
all of this are are different moving parts

1938
01:08:42,225 --> 01:08:44,064
to something larger toward the end. And I

1939
01:08:44,064 --> 01:08:45,425
think an example of that to end, and

1940
01:08:45,425 --> 01:08:46,864
free feel free to comment on this on

1941
01:08:46,864 --> 01:08:48,545
the way out, is the the foreknowledge of

1942
01:08:48,545 --> 01:08:50,064
all this. You know, the warning of Iran

1943
01:08:50,064 --> 01:08:52,050
that appeared to be there, which we've seen

1944
01:08:52,050 --> 01:08:53,729
in the past. Right? The back channels around

1945
01:08:53,729 --> 01:08:55,409
bombing the Iraq base in in The US,

1946
01:08:55,409 --> 01:08:57,510
but, you know, that that was discussed beforehand.

1947
01:08:57,569 --> 01:08:58,929
You know, in this case, I think it's

1948
01:08:58,929 --> 01:09:00,689
been clearly shown that there was foreknowledge. You

1949
01:09:00,689 --> 01:09:02,609
know, if somebody had warned the b two

1950
01:09:02,609 --> 01:09:04,545
bombers were publicly discussed, so it's not like

1951
01:09:04,545 --> 01:09:06,465
Iran didn't see it coming. You know? And

1952
01:09:06,465 --> 01:09:09,024
then the the in reverse where Iran I

1953
01:09:09,024 --> 01:09:10,704
mean, Trump pulled people away from Iraq. The

1954
01:09:10,704 --> 01:09:12,704
Qatar base was basically removed in regard to

1955
01:09:12,704 --> 01:09:15,104
people and important assets, and then they bombed.

1956
01:09:15,104 --> 01:09:16,545
Right? And so, clearly, it was meant to

1957
01:09:16,545 --> 01:09:18,710
be so to me, that's sort of a

1958
01:09:18,710 --> 01:09:20,550
coordination. And not not to say necessarily all

1959
01:09:20,550 --> 01:09:21,590
of them are on the same side, which

1960
01:09:21,590 --> 01:09:23,909
we shouldn't care. We should consider that. Like

1961
01:09:23,909 --> 01:09:26,229
in the COVID nineteen dynamic where we saw

1962
01:09:26,229 --> 01:09:28,010
them all kind of lockstep in the agenda.

1963
01:09:28,070 --> 01:09:29,750
My simple point is that we make sure

1964
01:09:29,750 --> 01:09:31,510
we're all out there seeing the parts we

1965
01:09:31,510 --> 01:09:33,694
we discussed today, but also where else it

1966
01:09:33,694 --> 01:09:35,694
could be going. The bigger moving parts of

1967
01:09:35,694 --> 01:09:38,655
sort of the globalist, Zionist, technocratic kind of

1968
01:09:38,655 --> 01:09:40,414
awakening that we're seeing are really just the

1969
01:09:40,414 --> 01:09:42,255
mask coming off and where that might be

1970
01:09:42,255 --> 01:09:44,335
going. You know? So what you know, the

1971
01:09:44,335 --> 01:09:47,000
the possible endgame to what all this might

1972
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,680
lead to. You know? But thank you again

1973
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:50,680
for joining us and and updating us because

1974
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:51,800
it really you have such a wealth of

1975
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:53,720
knowledge on this, Robert. And, I think it's

1976
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:55,479
important people to check out your work, whether

1977
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,479
that's on Last American Vagabond or Mint Press

1978
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,375
News, wherever it may be today. And I

1979
01:09:59,375 --> 01:10:00,494
will say to on the way out, then

1980
01:10:00,494 --> 01:10:01,854
I'll let you say anything you'd like to

1981
01:10:01,854 --> 01:10:03,534
on the way out as well, that more

1982
01:10:03,534 --> 01:10:05,454
will be coming through TLAB from Robert. So

1983
01:10:05,454 --> 01:10:06,975
look forward to that. So thanks for being

1984
01:10:06,975 --> 01:10:08,494
here again, brother. Anything else you wanna leave

1985
01:10:08,494 --> 01:10:09,395
us with? Go ahead.

1986
01:10:09,695 --> 01:10:11,850
No. I'd just say, yeah, we have to

1987
01:10:12,010 --> 01:10:13,770
wait and watch how things develop.

1988
01:10:14,170 --> 01:10:16,750
It's very hard to predict things precisely, but,

1989
01:10:17,530 --> 01:10:20,270
yeah, you know, we might be surprised by,

1990
01:10:20,970 --> 01:10:23,229
the public and their reactions in the future.

1991
01:10:23,689 --> 01:10:25,369
But right now, you know, I think,

1992
01:10:26,494 --> 01:10:28,994
there has been a a lack of reaction

1993
01:10:29,055 --> 01:10:30,755
to this, which has been quite shocking.

1994
01:10:31,055 --> 01:10:33,314
But, thank you for having me on, and,

1995
01:10:33,935 --> 01:10:35,875
as always, it's been a pleasure.

1996
01:10:36,255 --> 01:10:37,935
Thanks, brother. And we'll we'll be talking again

1997
01:10:37,935 --> 01:10:40,194
soon. So everybody out there, as always, question

1998
01:10:40,414 --> 01:10:42,140
everything. Come to your own

1999
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:43,500
conclusions. Stay vigilant.
