ICC should seek more arrest warrants for Israeli leaders | Francesca Albanese | One on One
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evV9h7Jf99Q)
In this episode of One on One, journalist and news editor Sondos Asem is sitting down with Francesca Albanese, an outspoken international human rights lawyer and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. She is the 8th person to hold that role, and the first woman.
She is a self-described “reluctant chronicler of Genocide”, as she has been one of the most vocal critics of Israel’s onslaught on Gaza since 7 October. Within the past year, she has submitted two reports to the UN human rights council, where she outlined her legal opinion on why the attacks on the Palestinian population constitute genocide.
Middle East Eye spoke to her on 13 November, during her visit to London, where she was invited to speak at several university campuses.
Transkripzioa:
0:00

0:06
destruction of Gaza what is the UK doing to prevent acts of genocide this is a
0:14
call for action for the Arab countries as
0:19
well hey I’m s Salim and today I’m sitting down with Franchesca albanesi an
0:25
outspoken international human rights lawyer and the United Nations special raor on the situation of human rights in
0:31

1:05
her at the end of her visit to London where she delivered speeches at several University campuses Franchesca alvan
1:12
welcome to Middle East ey uh it’s a pleasure to have you uh in London and you’ve been here for a few days now and
1:20
as part of your trip you attended um a few events at a number of universities
1:26
including uh so l or Queen Mary University uh could you please tell us
1:32
about uh your trip and both the solidarity and the support that you
1:38
received um but also a number of protests that happened to take place outside different campuses and how
1:46
British media has um has covered uh your trip so
1:52
far first of all thank you for having me uh I’ve been here for 3 days and I came
2:00
here invited by universities both students students organizations and uh
2:06
uh who students have endured a lot in this country like elsewhere particularly
2:12
in the west and faculty members so yes I was at soas London School of Economics
2:17
uh Queen Mary um and the school of uh tropical medicine and hygiene yesterday
2:25
and in the middle I’ve had significant interaction with the media
2:31
uh it has been a wonderful experience because the not only the the solidarity
2:39
but the interest has been overwhelming I think there have been but I would say
2:46
600 people all together and probably more at all this event
2:52
and you see all these events were sold out like one or two hours after after
3:00
having been announced so there has been even that little publicity the publicity
3:05
around my visit has come from the few meters were were were very
3:13
vociferous but there are few and in fact I mean I was caught this thing of how the media have
3:21
reacted caught my attention because the guardian covered the protest I mean in
3:28
order to speak of my visit had to go through the 10 flags and I mean 10
3:34
people were out there protesting against an overwhelming majority of young people
3:42
were just ask were there were standing there solidarity or to show their support to me and I feel also
3:48
embarrassed because who am I to receive their support after they’ve done so much this
3:54
year but also uh you know why to talk about why to give oxygen to this few
4:02
individuals whose only job is to defend Israel at the time is committing
4:08
genocide let’s talk about the genocide let’s talk about the unfolding unabated
4:14
continuing destruction of Gaza and let’s talk let’s talk of the people British
4:21
non-british who stand powerfully against it and who are calling their policy
4:27
makers to address this to stop enabling this speaking of uh genocide and also
4:34
the way you contextualize the the situation um in in occupied Palestine
4:40
you’ve published or submitted two reports this year to the UN Human Rights
4:46
Council uh concerned with uh genocide or your legal opinion on why you think
4:53
there is um plausible case um or reasonable grounds to conclude that
4:59
genocide is unfolding in uh in razza um could you please um unpack why
5:07
you think so so first of all um I am part of a group of about 30 un
5:16
experts who has raised awareness has raised the alarm that a genocide might be committed as of October November last
5:24
year then there has been the case brought before the icj by the the by
5:30
South Africa uh concerning uh a genocide and
5:36
international court of justice without even looking at really in depth at the Merit uh recognize the plausibility of
5:43
the risk of genocide for in Gaza and then there have
5:50
been many scholars from the legal field many historians including Israeli
5:57
historians denouncing what Israel was doing as genocide my report looks at the legal
6:03
definition of genocide what constitutes genocide is acts of uh killing um
6:10
creation of conditions of Life leading to the destruction of a group in all or in part or the infliction of severe
6:18
bodily or mental harm the and then there are other acts these are the ones I
6:24
found Israel has committed in Gaza with intent this is the critical element of
6:30
genocide of this Insidious crime to prove but also to commit um the uh the
6:37
intent to destroy a people in all or uh in part through these acts and clearly
6:43
Israel has done so through killing really anyone and for one year 70% have
6:51
been of the victims have been women and children steadily from the beginning it
6:56
has destroyed homes Hospital universities all universities uh over
7:03
300 schools um anything needed to to to exist to
7:11
survive like livelihood uh all the farming land uh production food
7:17
production centers the fishing boats as the head of forensic
7:24
architecture has said Gaza has been like like leveled
7:30
it’s the ungrounding it’s there is just scorched Earth in Gaza at the moment and
7:36
of course 45,000 people have been killed by Snapper fire and bombs burned alive
7:43
buried under the rubble and these has been done with intent to destroy is not just the knowledge of what would be
7:50
caused which also can establish can allow to infer intent through the scale
7:56
uh nature type of attack why Palestinians from both Gaza and the
8:02
West Bank have been uh arbitrary arrest and detain and mass and tortured and
8:09
even rape uh you see it’s the the totality of
8:14
the violence of the genocidal violence of the destructive violence that has been Unleashed against the totality of
8:21
the Palestinians in the totality of the land that Israel militarily controls that gives the broader the
8:28
bigger picture which inscribes itself in the long trajectory of colonial Erasure
8:34
that Israel has practiced on the Palestinians this is the gist of my two reports speaking of genocidal intent uh
8:42
you’ve advocated a what you call a triple lens approach um for analyzing genocide in
8:49
Gaza could you please unpack that so first of all on intent there has been much confusion regarding what
8:57
constitutes intent particularly State intent in um including in the genocidal
9:03
Juris Prudence which is so much I mean there have been uh two uh concluded cases where the international court of
9:10
justice has looked at uh State responsibility for for genocide both in
9:17
the case of former Yugoslavia brought against Serbia by Bosnia and Croatia and
9:22
there are there is one case spending Gambia versus
9:28
Myanmar and and uh where for member states from the Western block have asked
9:34
the court ad made submissions to the court encouraging the court to look at the intent not in a very narrow way in
9:41
order not to miss the forest for the trees in a in a nutshell and I I think they are right this six European
9:49
countries and I think that the point is that this intend sorry this genocide
9:55
case is particular because it’s the first settler Colonial genocide so the first genocide that takes place in a
10:02
setler colonial context that gets litigated before an international Court
10:08
this is the peculiarity for me this is the what it makes the momentum even more
10:15
um important and it gives it gravitas but however why do do I think that it’s
10:22
important to understand what is intent as different from motives because I hear
10:29
well the intent was not to destroy Gaza the intent was uh to liberate the
10:35
hostages or just to eradicate amas or to Der radicalize Gaza whatever it means
10:42
first of all the actions taken do not align with any of these motives but all
10:49
the more motives are different from intent because motives is what is behind
10:55
intent but intent is the the determination to destroy which is which
11:02
has been said which has been announced enunciated and predicated upon in
11:09
genocidal incitement by political leaders Soldiers the willful executioners of this genocide and there
11:16
has been a genocidal C traveling across Israel I’m sorry but this is the reality
11:22
and I say that really with a with a with a sense of this is where I have a sense
11:27
of defeat as a being in 2024 because there were checks
11:33
and balances to prevent this and I I have really a heavy heart thinking of the
11:41
Palestinians who have perished on top of course of the Israelis and others who have perished but also the Israeli who
11:47
have committed these violent acts most of them are young people what have they
11:53
done they will have to live their entire life with the Vivid memories of the
11:59
bodies they have crushed the babies and they have killed the children they have
12:04
shot in the head the the thousands they have let
12:11
starving the hundreds of thousands they let homeless the the millions they trapped
12:19
and killed and genocided for 43 days now
12:25
calling them animals celebrating the misery they were inflicting upon them
12:31
it’s Grievous isn’t it so let’s go let’s go back to so this whole thing in order
12:39
to be assessed again we cannot miss the forest for the trees we need to to look
12:45
at the totality of crimes that have been committed and this holistic approach has been solicited by the international
12:51
court of justice and its existing Juris Prudence what does it mean looking at it holistically of course during a genocide
12:58
especially in a conflict situation you can have um war crimes
13:03
like violations of the laws of war and crimes against humanity like was spread and systemic uh violations abuses
13:10
committed against the civilian population but we need to look at the totality of it the totality of the
13:18
conduct the totality of the crimes against the totality of the Palestinians because it’s not just Hamas it’s not
13:24
just the people in Gaza the Palestinians as a whole have been punished have been oppressed pressed have been targeted and
13:31
denigrated and it’s in fact not just in Gaza it’s we see that violence
13:37
metastasing uh to the West Bank and East Jerusalem in your March report on
13:44
genocides this year um you’ve highlighted the concept of humanitarian
13:50
camouflage um as used by the Israeli state to justify its actions in um in
13:56
Gaza could you please elaborate more on what you mean by that I realized and I
14:01
managed to spell out what was already evident
14:06
before yeah before October last year the Israel
14:12
uses humanitarian law or international law concept to justify its conduct or
14:20
just to Twist it just twisting legal Concepts in order to achieve its objectives to to give you an example of
14:27
something that didn’t start on October seven Israel has
14:34
not initially since 1967 Israel has not ref re uh acknowledged to have extended
14:43
sovereignity to have annexed uh most of the West
14:48
Bank because this is illegal but he does not recognize the con the the territory
14:54
as occupied so as to justify the full application of international humanitarian La has called This territor
15:00
is disputed and then in that gray area of whatever disputed is it has done what
15:07
he wanted it has acted as it pleased same and there I could give you other
15:14
examples but following I mean as of the early weeks of October 2023 Israel has
15:21
launched an attack against the people of Gaza that was unprecedented I mean I do
15:27
remember the testimonies from from the genocide survivors
15:33
saying this is like nothing else we have experience they saw that they were hit
15:40
as a people their symbols of identity were being destroyed being again like
15:46
Fields churches mosques cultural centers I I I do remember it vividly from the
15:52
very beginning this this is what came across uh people from Gaza and um and in
16:00
fact Israel has not denied its conduct it has Justified it as a legitimate one
16:08
for example saying but Palestinians we are we’re just targeting terrorists aren’t we and those who civilians who
16:15
might die they’re human Shields it’s AAS hiding behind them and if it’s people
16:22
far away from where Hamas might have been well they are collateral damage you know in Wars people die
16:31
and then this is why you need to look how the military conduct has taken place
16:37
in violation of the principle of distinctions between civilians and combatants abusing of the concept of
16:43
human Shields which is not what Israel projected human Shields is what we have seen Israel using using Palestinians to
16:51
go into the tunnels to see if there were booby trops or to see if there were
16:56
booby trops or Pal Ians uh captured and
17:01
tied on military Jeeps to enter before entering uh refugee camps or where areas
17:08
where they might have been pockets of resistance or
17:14
putting detain is at the center of a of a confrontation area with Palestinian
17:21
resistance again everything has been Twisted capsized Medical Center and hospitals
17:29
have been destroyed justifying that Hamas was hiding weapons or combat so
17:38
there has been this concept of medical shielding like human shielding and evacuation zones like giving this
17:45
impression that Israel was letting them flee to a safe Zone there were no safe zones there were death zones
17:51
Palestinians were moved around ping ponged and then Coral in area they would be killed or they would die anyway
17:58
because have been pushed as forensic architecture report and I really encourage you to to read this report and
18:05
to speak to those who have worked on this report because this is the I I mean the detail the physical detail the
18:13
Reconstruction the forensic reconstruction of what I’m saying Palestinians have been left to die those
18:20
who have not been killed by Design and capsizing so
18:26
camouflaging uh this genocide through the use of international humanitarian
18:31
law speaking of the the definition of of genocide or what constitutes genocidal
18:38
actions currently in in Gaza uh British foreign secretary David Lamy um has been
18:44
criticized recently for um downplaying the seriousness of the crime of genocide
18:50
um following his remarks in Parliament uh last month uh and that is what he
18:56
said about genocide um quote those terms were largely used
19:03
when millions of people lost their lives in crisis like Rwanda the second world
19:09
war the Holocaust and the way that they are used now undermines the seriousness
19:15
of that term what do you make of uh such comments
19:23
honestly when I read it uh my because
19:29
I’m not I’m I’m not an expert on UK uh politics and I don’t check the bio of UA
19:36
of UK politicians all the time I’ve not had the chance to to interact with uh the
19:45
new the new government so far so somewhat I I I hadn’t realized that
19:52
uh Mr Lamy was a lawyer so I said I mean as a politician you might say for
19:59
political convenience you’re are still a genocide denier who excuse me what are
20:04
you saying you see it’s interesting because he he he’s referring to cases of
20:10
where genocide has uh has uh resulted in
20:17
sort of in industrial scale of killing of mass extermination like in Rwanda and
20:25
uh during the the Holocaust but it’s not the numbers of those killed who
20:33
determines whether or not where is genocide and any lawyer would know that so I was surprised and this is even more
20:40
serious to me because you know in in Bosnia
20:46
heroa 8,000 people were found dead in um in uh were killed in
20:55
saen I understand that certain Juris prudence might have
21:01
inclined uh Mr Lamy to conclude what he said but by doing so he’s
21:09
denying that genocide occurred in the case of um
21:16
uh Australia or Canada or the United States where the genocide was carried
21:22
out primarily not through Mass killing but to cutting the bloodline of the
21:28
Aboriginal so that they could disappear in the in the white European colonizer
21:38
Society even the UK government recognizes the genocide against the yazidis for example or what happened in
21:46
former Yugoslavia in Seria but absolutely but absolutely genocide is
21:52
not determined by the numbers of those skilled plus plus genocide should be prevented so the
21:59
question to Mr lamby is what is the UK doing to prevent acts of genocide
22:07
because the court International court of justice has recognized the posibility of genocide and also how does
22:16
he qualify the total Destruction of Gaza
22:21
from homes mosques churches hospitals bakeries again as I said farming land
22:28
there is nothing left in Gaza to reconstitute
22:33
life why 177,000 children were killed under our watch what has the UK done to
22:41
stop it it nothing nothing so again I’m sorry Mr
22:49
Lamy still has a it’s long time to fix uh this is under
22:58
about I mean I I let’s assume that he’s in good faith and he really doesn’t see that well there is always time to uh to
23:05
change someone’s mind when the circumstances on the ground change so I
23:11
just ask him to to look closer at what is happening because he has referred to
23:17
two genocides Rwanda and the Holocaust none of them
23:23
would have happened had it been for the indifference of the masses
23:29
who stopped asking questions who almost Justified the killing of the tootsi and
23:34
the killing of the Jews and the Roman cinti because it was normal it was
23:40
accepted and this is how genocides can happen in a reality like ours where
23:45
checks and balances do exist where an international legal system does exist and should have prevented any
23:52
death and and the unlawful occupation and the apartheid
24:00
regime I mean um we can talk about past mistakes and crimes but I’m interested
24:07
in stopping the genocide now so let’s uh wake up and do and do better in terms of
24:14
uh preventing genocide um what do you make of the role of the international court of justice
24:21
right now as well as the ICC where arrest warrants have been pending for
24:27
for more than six months now
24:32
look I’ve been saying quite a lot over the past days including in the UK where
24:38
there is a lot of sense of there is anger because nothing nothing changes
24:45
there is a sense of defeat this history human history is
24:52
made of uh uh people falling
24:58
many people falling and some rising and uh and justice has has had a
25:07
turbulent history and so is the path the journey for human rights it’s an it’s an
25:12
accomplished business so it continues to be upon us the responsibility to make the system better
25:20
I mean we have done so many important things as a Humanity we have ended
25:26
slavery aparti in some countries racial
25:31
segregations in some realities uh we have brought women to
25:38
vote the cause for albanism to become a human rights issue we have made the
25:45
Unseen victims of protracted human rights violation sin and the business is
25:52
not finished we still have a lot of work to do go and this applies to the international Justice the system so the
26:00
thing is the international criminal court should have acted much earlier there is
26:06
a case that started over a decade ago before the icj and uh sorry before the
26:13
ICC and the prosecutor finally opened an investigation over three years ago it
26:20
only recently started to look deeply into the matter and finally he requested
26:27
the international criminal court five arrest warrants for three people the
26:33
Hamas leaders had been already killed by Israel we should have seen these
26:38
people ER and the before the international criminal court no I mean
26:45
this is what Justice is about and instead they were killed two
26:51
people remain and there should be more there should be more on the dock in my view um and uh it’s taking
26:58
ages this is because the the political pressure on International justice system
27:05
is of the extreme and we see pressure on the prosecutor pressure on the judges so
27:11
Israel is trying to obstruct it by moving exceptions against the independence of the judges and the the
27:19
US is making pressure through open threats we might lose what we have what
27:26
we have built multilateralism is on the edge and uh
27:32
international law is on knife’s edge so we are risking to lose all what we have
27:38
gained all we have established put together to make all of us protected in
27:46
one uh goal it’s about us to all of us
27:51
students doctors professors journalists Ordinary People in the street
27:58
to protect it if our government elected government officials don’t do that what
28:03
do you make of the situation in Northern Gaza right now and the so-called generals plan which appears to be a a
28:10
Prelude to um the permanent replacement a displacement of the population of
28:17
Northern Gaza but also uh comments by a number of Israeli officials including
28:23
smart smartd this week um
28:28
declaring the intention to Annex uh parts of the West Bank yeah but the the
28:35
intention was clear put black and white on February 2023 to Annex part of the occupied
28:42
Palestinian territory they’ve done it with the West Bank they are doing that with Gaza this is why it’s very clear
28:49
what Israel is doing it’s very very clear Community do or should Civil
28:55
Society or world leaders react to that first of all we collectively should see
29:01
what Israel is doing and why it’s doing it it’s ethnic cleansing Israel is
29:06
genociding the Palestinian in Gaza in the pursuit of getting as much land as
29:14
possible without the people without the Palestinian people because they are an
29:19
encumbrance they are an obstacle to the realization of Greater Israel with
29:25
Jewish sovereignity from the river to the Sea um and genocide is a tools to an end is
29:32
a means to an end um we need to understand that we need to stop this and
29:38
the international legal system is geared to to stop it because member states have
29:44
an obligation not to Aid and assist Israel’s as it’s committing crimes from
29:50
maintaining an unlawful occupation violating Palestinian self determination committing apartheid and russal racial
29:58
segregation and acts of genocide so an arms embargo is absolutely necessary
30:05
it’s what is transferred to Israel but also what is purchased from Israel which is endangering all of us because it Con
30:13
it consist of uh what Israel has uh has experimented on the Palestinians for
30:20
decades and even now um weapons that
30:25
allow to control masses to confine masses and to exterminate masses uh and
30:32
this is extremely extremely dangerous um the surveillance system that Israel has
30:38
perfected and then sold abroad like Pegasus and other spying um devices all
30:44
these must be stopped but also you know Europe is the first trading partner of of Israel there is no
30:52
other way than cutting these ties because these provide Israel the tools
30:59
to continue to oppress the Palestinians so today diplomatic political economic
31:05
military strategic ties Financial ties with Israel must be seriously
31:11
reconsidered and whatever is considered harmful to the Palestinians pretty much everything must be ciled Israel will
31:18
have to be isolated as aparte South Africa would was isolated at the time of
31:24
apartheid and we shall not forget the black South Africans have
31:30
experienced the most brutal uh part of the the
31:37
aparte uh just one or two years before aparte collapsed so this brutal the
31:45
brutality we see today also signal that we might be close to an end but the end
31:50
of what the end of the apartheid or the end of the Palestinian presence in the
31:56
occupi sorry in Palestine what remains of Palestine how this will end depends on
32:03
all of us every one of us has a role to play in this so apartheid uh South
32:09
Africa was suspended from the UN General Assembly in
32:14
1974 um one of your recommendations publicly or in your reports has been to
32:22
uh threaten to suspend Israel or unseated yeah uh from uh from the UN
32:29
yeah do you think this is feasible um and how would that take
32:35
place it is feasible but of course it depends on political will in a sense I
32:42
have not I not made that recommendation even for the genocide that is ongoing
32:47
for 57 years of unlawful occupation but look at what Israel has done to the
32:52
United Nations this year accusing everyone and and every possible
32:58
organizations from the Secretary General independent experts uh particularly
33:04
myself I’ve been PNG or but also the special repor on the right to food the special reporter on adequate housing
33:10
have been violently attacked uh accused we’ve
33:15
been accused of anti-Semitism of supporting terrorism uh of
33:22
being again I can’t even go into this but so the secretary General who has
33:28
been pnged and the the general assembly has been under attack and so the Human
33:34
Rights Council and international criminal court and the international criminal court has even been spied and
33:40
threatened by the mosad according to an Israeli Leed
33:46
investigation and on top of it over the past 43 days Israel has attacked
33:54
targeted in some instances even destroyed un premises uh schools
34:00
hospitals clinics distribution centers as they were Sheltering um Palestinian
34:07
displaced people in Gaza um it has killed 237 un staff members it has even hit the
34:17
uh un peacekeeping mission in Lebanon it has staed and passed laws that Outlaw
34:24
andrad operations in in Israel which means that they cannot operate in the in
34:29
the occupied Palestinian territory this is pretty pretty brutal pretty unprecedented you shouldn’t set a
34:34
precedent and this is why it should be uh followed by forceful measures would you consider the Banning
34:41
of hona um an act that could amount to uh to genocides or a genocidal
34:49
act uh I think that the the attack on anra is part of the colonial Erasure of
34:58
the Palestinians because it’s not only an attack on the UN as they as as they
35:05
through this agency uh provide Lifeline support to the Palestinian in
35:11
Gaza it’s also what the agency represents for the Palestinians it’s
35:17
linked to their identity not only as refugees but as nakba survivors and this
35:23
is something that should be should be considered kept in mind and this is also the end of 20e struggle that Israel has
35:30
mounted against the agency uh accusing it of a standing
35:36
against piece of being an obstacle to the resolution of the conflict to
35:41
perpetuate the refugee crisis by giving Palestinian refugee status these are lies I mean my old scholarships proves
35:49
that these are Fabrications and well Andra has many limitations to the
35:54
Palestinian refugees first and foremost but it’s not either an obstacle to peace nor a factor an entity that
36:03
procrastinates and protract the Palestinian refugee status what protracts the refugee status of the Palestinians is the NeverEnding
36:11
occupation NeverEnding dispossession and the never ending nakba
36:16
you’ve addressed the uh reaction or support of um Western States um for for
36:23
the Israeli State um how about Arab states uh
36:29
do you think they have appropriately reacted to the atrocities or the
36:35
situation um in occupied Palestine look I’ve studied the conduct of Arab
36:41
countries toward the question of Palestine and Palestinians since the
36:49
40s and from the 40s onward and this is part of my scholarship on Palestinian
36:55
refugees and international law and I’ve titled the chapter concerning this
37:01
relationship and the the status and treatment of Palestinian refugees in Arab countries and unsettling solidarity
37:08
because this is what links Arab countries Arab states to the
37:15
Palestinians there is a dichotomy between what people in the Arab region
37:21
feel toward the Palestinians in the past like now new generations are connecting to the Palestinians in
37:28
solidarity while the issue had somewhat lipped under the the rck you know it was
37:35
no one was really talking anymore about the plight of the Palestinians Arab countries were
37:41
normalizing their relations with Israel regardless of the
37:47
Palestinians so I think they their neglect has also been part of the
37:54
problem and since has given us n nurture this sense of Abandonment and despair
38:00
among the Palestinians the other problem of course is not all Arab countries and we also
38:06
need to recognize what has happened to the Arab region they’ve had significant wars in
38:13
the region in the past 20 years Iraq Syria Libya the the financial crisis
38:22
which has also worsened after covid for many of them the fact that there have
38:28
been rising dictatorships or there are dictatorships On The Rise it’s not an
38:34
easy place for the Arab people in general so the reason why I insist on
38:39
the west is that we still have a democratic system that allows us to to
38:45
demand results this is not the same for many Arab people but still other countries
38:53
have remained very strong in solidar with the Palestinian people most of them
39:01
rhetorically but practically I mean it’s it’s difficult
39:07
to I mean the outcome is not visible so the
39:13
questions the question is are Arab countries all
39:20
together incapable of making a difference is their political power so
39:29
negligible that it doesn’t show do their vo is
39:35
unheard is or there is more that they are not United enough because I do see
39:43
that there are other countries really pushing both in the general assembly and
39:48
through their actions but there are a minority so is it that there is no no capacity to
39:57
go around the common cause and today is not just Palestine it’s Lebanon I mean the
40:04
destruction is spreading within at the heart of the region this is a call for action for the
40:12
Arab countries as well uh Franchesca thank you so much for for being here and for your time today we really appreciate
40:19
it thank you for having me

Transkripzioa:
0:06
hi everybody today’s Tuesday November 19th and Scott here is with us welcome
0:12
back Scott thanks for having me let’s get started with Biden’s decision to let
0:18
Ukrainian use attacks against Russians and I think they have they’ve
0:26
used today they’ve used attacks against Russians and and if if I I don’t remember the name of
0:33
this city they have used La was talking about it how important is this decision
0:39
to the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine in your opinion well first of all to understand
0:46
this we have to go back to September 12th uh When Vladimir Putin spoke to the Press about this very issue about
0:52
America considering uh giving permission to Ukraine to use attack’s missiles to strike Targets in Russia uh Vladimir
1:00
Putin said we know how these missiles operate we know that this can’t happen without American hands making the target
1:07
information loading the target information into the missile so any attack using the tac’s missiles on
1:14
Russian soil will be treated as an American attack against Russia I just want to lay that out there that’s not me
1:20
saying it’s not analysis this is a statement a fact made by the Russian president uh and he said that this will
1:27
fundamentally change the character of this conf it will make America a direct participant in the conflict the UN
1:34
Ambassador the U the Russian ambassador to the United Nations the next day went a step further he said for the United
1:40
States to do this would be a declaration of war against Russia and then anaton
1:45
Antonov who was at that time the Russian ambassador to the United States uh furthered that by saying that America
1:51
won’t be able to hide behind the Atlantic Ocean that the consequences won’t be of this won’t be limited to
1:58
just Europe that America will be a Target itself um those three
2:06
inputs uh I think helped stay the hand of the United States Joe Biden didn’t sign off on uh that decision um and that
2:15
that held until now um now Joe Biden hasn’t come out and said things
2:21
officially indeed his State Department came out and said we have no new news to put in but this is part of the tactic
2:27
you see NATO and the United States believe that Russia is bluffing they don’t believe anything that vladim Putin said is real that Putin is just is just
2:35
talking but there won’t be any consequences for their actions um but rather than give the Russians a hook by
2:44
announcing a formal change in policy it just happened as zalinski said the
2:50
president of Ukraine we’ll let the missiles do the talking well the missiles have talked this isn’t the
2:55
ukrainians claiming an attack this isn’t the United States saying that they authorize this attack this is the Russian defense Ministry saying that six
3:04
attackman missiles were used against the Target on Russian soil five of the
3:09
missiles were shot down one of the missiles was hit but managed to hit the target debris hit the target there was
3:16
some damage done I bring that up to underscore that this isn’t about the attack’s missile being a game Cher this
3:24
is about calling Russia’s Bluff the United States has said we don’t believe
3:30
you Vladimir Putin that there will be consequences to this and as long as Russia doesn’t respond forcefully this
3:37
is the beginning of what is a two-month crash program to make Ukraine part of
3:43
NATO this is zelinsky’s Victory plan a key component of the victory plan was
3:49
unshackling him when it comes to being able to strike uh targets inside Russia
3:55
that he believed has to be struck in order to um better defend against Russia’s ongoing
4:01
offensive uh the these attacks that are taking place now are done in relation to
4:09
the Ukrainian incursion into kers um and appear to have been Limited in that
4:14
regard um why is KK important well this earlier this year Ukraine sent 20 to
4:20
30,000 troops into KK which is Russian ter it’s not territory of dispute it’s
4:25
not keron Zaria lugans donet or Crimea this is KK there is no debating what KK
4:35
is it is Mother Russia and Ukraine went in and occupied a significant chunk of
4:41
kers with 20 to 30,000 troops who were trained organized equipped directed by
4:47
the United States and NATO this was a NATO invasion of Russia a NATO invasion
4:54
of Russia and Russia recognizes as such and now we have the United States using
4:59
aam’s missiles to to support the continued occupation of Russia by NATO
5:06
troops sling Ukrainian uniforms but NATO troops nonetheless the goal here is to ensure
5:12
that when Donald Trump becomes president on January 20th that Ukrainian troops not only are still in kers but are dug
5:20
in entrenched that their presence has become a statement of fact that it’s
5:26
unchangeable that that will have to be dealt with with any negotiation for the termination of this conflict it is a
5:32
bargaining chip now Ukraine will say we will return curse but in exchange Russia needs to return something else
5:41
um left to their own devices Russia will have cleared kers out by January 20th KK
5:46
was in the process of being depopulated of Ukrainian Invaders but now with the attacks the goal is to disrupt Russian
5:53
command and control air power Logistics uh Etc to help
6:00
strengthen the Ukrainian position the other thing is NATO understands that on January 20th
6:07
that the status quo is the way it is today um that Donald Trump will shut
6:12
down this Ukraine conflict and that Russia will prevail um that will cause
6:18
problems for NATO um one of the big problems is that NATO has put its weight behind making Ukraine a NATO member um
6:27
what you’re going to see between now and January 20th is a push to make Ukraine a
6:32
de facto NATO member what the Biden Administration and the European allies
6:38
who despise Donald Trump and are against Donald Trump’s policies are seeking to impose is a new reality one where NATO
6:44
where Ukraine is a de facto member of NATO that means that not only they’re using attack them Storm Shadow and scalp
6:51
they’ll be given new Long Range Systems that can strike deeper and of course Russia’s bluffing so there will be no
6:57
consequence for this Russia will continue to do what they’re doing which is to put out lots of words and do nothing that’s the
7:04
perception um and this will embolden them to put troops on the ground initially as advisers but then they’ll
7:10
come in as more you know as smaller units to grow into bigger units but the bottom line is to have several thousand
7:17
NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine on January 20th uh there’s a possibility that Poland will now extend its air
7:23
defense umbrella a NATO air defense umbrella into Ukrainian territory to start shooting down or engaging Russian
7:31
missiles um which is something that the ukrainians have been asking for now and maybe even project air power in is part
7:37
of that interdiction uh creating a de facto no-fly zone at that point in time
7:43
with those components Ukraine is a NATO member when there is a ceasefire there will be a NATO presence on Ukrainian
7:50
soil that guarantees that contrary to Russia’s stated goals and objective of having a neutral Ukraine Ukraine will be
7:57
a NATO member this will be a strategic defeat for Russia that’s the direction we’re heading there’s a couple things
8:03
about this one um as an American I take umbrage because the American people
8:08
voted on November 5th and said that’s not the outcome we’re looking for they voted for a president who said I’m going
8:14
to bring this war to an end I’m looking for a peaceful resolution I’m not looking to expand this war I’m not
8:20
looking to pour another $184 billion dollars into a losing proposition and
8:25
despite the fact that the American people voted for this and this is the intended policy objetive direction of the Trump Administration on January 20th
8:32
the lame duck presidency of Joe Biden has said we don’t care what the American people said we don’t care what Trump
8:38
wants we’re going to change the game in the two months we have left in office this is fundamentally undemocratic but
8:45
moreover it’s fundamentally dangerous because what if Russia’s not bluffing
8:51
what happens when Russia says okay we warned you and now we’re going to take action We Now find ourselves head moving
8:58
headlong into to a direct confrontation between Russia the United States and
9:03
NATO that will inevitably go nuclear that’s the stakes here um and then you
9:10
have to ask yourself why is Biden gambling like this is Ukraine worth the survival of
9:16
the world that’s a fundamental question everybody including the supporters of Ukraine have to ask is defending
9:23
Ukrainian democracy Ukrainian sovereignty um the fundamental issue of
9:28
our time if Ukraine was defeated by Russia does the world come to an end the answer is no it doesn’t but Joe Biden
9:36
and Europe and NATO have just made it an existential issue that because of
9:41
Ukraine the world is now facing the potential of thermonuclear global war on
9:47
a global scale the termination of all human life as we know it um this is an
9:52
outrage this is an insult to the American people this is an insult to the International Community um and I would
9:58
also ask um what has Joe Biden will say that he can
10:03
do this because of the War Powers Act uh and of course he’s
10:08
right but Congress passed the War Powers Act not to give the president car blanch
10:13
to engage military forces but for the president to use military forces in the times of an emergency where he can’t
10:20
otherwise come to Congress so if Russia attacked NATO the president could
10:26
authorize military response while he prepares to brief Congress on this but Congress alone has the Constitutional
10:33
authority to take America to War when was the last time Biden briefed Congress when did he has he requested a joint
10:39
session of Congress um to say I am asking for a declaration of war against
10:45
Russia because from the Russia perspective America has declared war against Russia America attacked Russia
10:50
this morning America and the using the definition set forth by Vladimir Putin fired six attacks missiles into Russian
10:58
territory five of the missiles were shot down one of the missiles was damaged but landed on the target but nonetheless
11:05
five missiles fired by the United States because these missiles could not have been fired without American
11:11
involvement struck Mother Russia that’s an war in anybody’s book and that’s
11:16
where we’re at today the United States attacked Russia this morning now the question is what is Russia going to do
11:21
about it and what are the latest changes in the Russian nuclear Doctrine Scott
11:29
that they were talking about recently well Vladimir Putin signed off on a Doctrine today that um you know he has
11:37
been talking for some time and one of the key aspects of this is that Russia will treat any large scale attack uh by
11:45
Ukraine United States and NATO using missiles against uh Russian territory um
11:52
as an existential threat and they can respond with nuclear weapons so I just want everybody to understand under Russian Doctrine
11:59
what happened this morning could theoretically trigger a nuclear
12:05
response yeah I mean that’s that’s the importance of this Doctrine um
12:12
and you know the the the but the the thing is the West looks at this document
12:17
and says well Russia’s bluffing they’re not going to do this and so they start small well it was only
12:24
six attacks missile is that really a large scale but this will be embold because now France has said you can use
12:31
Scout missiles bring Great Britain has said you can use Storm Shadow zalinsky is building his own he has the drones
12:37
and now if you get all of these to act in concert let’s say on a given day instead of six going in you have 12
12:45
attack thems 15 scalps 20 storm shadows and 100 Ukrainian drones that’s a mass
12:51
attack against Russia and Russian Doctrine says they
12:56
can respond with nuclear weapons do you really want to call Russia’s Bluff on that is that really something you want
13:02
is this an issue that is so fundamental to the survival of the world that we’re going to put the survival of the world
13:07
on the table to confront it the answer is no but that’s the direction we’re
13:13
heading right now I personally don’t believe the Russians are bluffing but we’ll have to see because the Russians
13:20
you know they seem to be playing they fell into the Diplomatic trap I keep hearing the Russians say well we haven’t
13:26
heard anything official from the United States oh yes you did six attack’s
13:31
missiles struck Russian soil that’s the official statement there my friend because it couldn’t have happened your
13:37
president acknowledges it couldn’t have happened unless America made it happen and the military doesn’t operate
13:43
on its own the military is a function of a command and control system with the commander-in-chief at the top the
13:49
commander-in-chief had to authorize this to take place so don’t wait for Jake Sullivan or you know Anthony blinkin to
13:56
come out and formally State something this is the game they’re playing because rightfully so the United States knows
14:03
that Russia is a very legally oriented um government and therefore Russian
14:09
government is loathed to take action until the United States formally articulates a policy change the policy
14:17
change has been articulated they fired five six attacks missiles at you that’s
14:22
all you need to know and the sooner Russia acknowledges this reality um the sooner they connect
14:30
if Russia doesn’t nip this thing in the butt and normally I’m somebody who advocates for peace and peaceful outcomes but understand
14:37
this the reason why I voted for Donald Trump and I did vote for Donald Trump despite all the misgivings I have about
14:43
Donald Trump is that when I took a comma Harris Administration and projected it
14:49
forward and ran through all the iterations I came up every single time
14:55
with nuclear war being waged six months to a year into a KLA Harris thing a vote for conla Harris in my opinion would
15:01
have inevitably resulted in a nuclear conflict the Trump campaign published an
15:08
oped piece in the hill written by Donald Trump Jr and Bobby Kennedy Jr um that
15:14
said they want to bring an into the conflict in Ukraine and prevent a nuclear war that’s the policy Direction
15:20
they’re headed on um you know but now we have a Biden Administration that is
15:26
going to do what the Harris administ they’re going to compact six months to a year of Harris administrative policy
15:33
into two months um this is this is a very very dangerous situation I don’t
15:41
know how to say it any more than what I have if the Russians don’t nip this in
15:46
the butt if they allow this to continue that two months will result in deployment of NATO troops onto Ukraine
15:53
uh NATO air power projected over Ukraine NATO missile defense projected over Ukraine Ukraine will become a de facto
16:00
NATO member and that is of an existential issue for Russia Russia
16:06
can’t allow that to happen and therefore there will be a nuclear war um
16:12
so everything I was afraid was going to happen in six months to a year is happening now in compacted form um
16:19
Russia needs to nip it in the bud right now I can’t tell Russia what to do but Russia has said I mean we’ve had Russian
16:26
officials come out and say it a seni member of the Russian Senate Who’s involved in the defense committee has
16:32
said that if this happens at a minimum bankova Street that’s where the
16:38
Ukrainian government is in KV disappears and he’s talked about using a new weapon
16:44
not nuclear but a weapon of unprecedented power and we know what that weapon is the Russians call it the
16:49
father of all bombs it’s a giant thermobaric weapon that uses aluminum
16:55
powder um a mix of aluminum powder but it will be released over over the target
17:00
uh it will Encompass a giant uh area with aluminum powder that will then be ignited and the over pressure will
17:06
flatten everything and kill everybody in that radius um and it’s an it’s a massive weapon that would literally gut
17:14
downtown K that’s what needs to happen right now the Ukrainian government needs to cease
17:21
to exist uh Russia needs to act on its words because if it doesn’t then
17:27
zalinski will be empowered he will believe that his victory plan can succeed in the west because of
17:32
zelinsky’s continued survival will start to reinvest in him in a very short
17:37
Manner and commit forces otherwise they wouldn’t Russia can only stop this thing
17:43
by destroying the Ukrainian government and if they fail to do so I’m afraid we’re headed down a path where this
17:49
leads to a nuclear war many people who are supporting
17:55
Biden’s decision on this they don’t consider that the use of nuclear weapon is like a revolution Scott in my eyes it
18:03
happens just once and just destroy everything just bring down this whole
18:08
system and it’s not a protest it’s not it’s it’s it’s so important but it
18:13
doesn’t seem that in the eyes of Europeans here is Stormer talking about this
18:19
scot changer well I’m not going to it’s being confirmed it’s being confirmed by Russia that they have landed in their
18:26
territory Beth you will understand I’m not going to comment on operational DET principle a game changer in principle
18:33
the reason that I’m not going to comment is I think well understood which is Putin is the winner uh if we do so and
18:41
it will undermine Ukraine and I’m not prepared to do that just quickly um Russia’s also threatened uh nuclear
18:47
escalation are you comfortable with that when people at home are watching this worrying that you could put aen at risk
18:53
well it’s very important it’s very important that we’re steadfast in our support for Ukraine Russia is the
18:59
aggressor uh and Russia nuclear war Russia uh has to be the one that makes
19:04
the move to stop this war it’s within their gift but we must support Ukraine it’s impacting not just Ukraine it’s
19:10
impacting the rest of the world including the UK is your message to viewers back home that there will not be
19:15
a nuclear war because that is what Russia is threatening these people are not
19:21
concerned about anything of that nature he thinks Russia’s bluffing um I would
19:26
just ask people to read again Annie Jacobson’s book um nuclear war um it’s
19:34
terrifying it’s a work of fiction but she interviewed dozens of former American officials who were involved in
19:40
nuclear war planning uh and and the nuclear Enterprise um and she outlines a
19:45
very plausible scenario um and and and the the fact is once you start there’s
19:52
no such thing as a limited nuclear war anybody who believes in that read the book and understand how it immediately
19:58
just Cascades out of control um kir starmer is an idiot he’s a dangerous
20:04
idiot I mean I I say this not because I want to insult the man but I want to impart on your listeners that he is
20:10
willing to kill you he just said so he’s willing to have us all die because that is the consequence for what defending
20:17
Ukraine again I ask people is a sovereign Democratic Ukraine fundamental to the continued existence of the world
20:24
of Europe of the United States and the answer is no would the supporters of Ukraine like there to be a Sovereign and
20:29
and U and independent um ukra de Democratic Ukraine sure they would like that to happen but right now it’s not
20:37
going to happen there’s a two and a half year war that Russia is winning um and now the question is how much is the West
20:43
willing to double down on trying to achieve a Ukrainian Victory what price are they willing to pay and Russia has
20:50
said that the price will be nuclear war that will kill us all kir starmer believes that it won’t read the book 72
20:57
minutes after the initiation of a low you know a low-grade nuclear
21:03
conflict a limited nuclear conflict the world ends 72 minutes 72 minutes 72
21:11
minutes I don’t know what you can do in 72 minutes not much uh that’s all you
21:16
have once it starts 72 minutes unless you’re some of the people that caught up in the early phases of it um you know
21:23
and we’re talking about you know bombs of you know 500 kilotons
21:29
the bomb that was dropped on hoshima was 15 kilotons we’re talking about thousands of 500 kiloton bombs striking
21:35
Targets in Europe in the United States over 100 million degrees instantly hotter than the sun will devastate an
21:43
area of 10 mile radius gone vaporized all that will be sucked up into the atmosphere thousands of times the sky
21:51
will darken with radioactive dust leading to a global Ice Age that will
21:56
last for a decade or more the billions of people who will die because of this nuclear conflagration
22:02
will be covered with a field of ice when it does eventually thaw out then we’ll have billions of rotting corpses that
22:09
will bring pestilence to any of the survivors but there won’t be survivors because you can’t grow food you can’t
22:15
drink the water you can’t breathe the air and so we all die because k starmer
22:21
k starmer wants to make a point because Tony blinkin wants to make a point
22:27
because Jake Sullivan wants to make a point well Tony blinkin and Jake Sullivan were told by the American
22:32
people we don’t want that point made here starmer hasn’t even brought it to the the British people he’s making a
22:39
decision on their behalf without even Consulting them I can guarantee you that
22:44
if Kier starmer took it to a vote for the people of England that we’re going to support an attack against the Russian
22:52
soil knowing that it will lead to thermonuclear war and you will all die that the British people say Noe we don’t
22:59
vote for that we don’t support that nobody would support that and yet these politicians are heading down that
23:04
direction making say because they think Russia is bluffing they think Russia’s
23:09
bluffing I mean for the sake of humanity I guess we have to hope that Russia’s bluffing at this point in time but I
23:15
don’t think Russia is bluffing and I’m very nervous about what’s about what’s to come the only way out of this right
23:22
now is either for Russia to fold like a house of cards which they’re not going to do or for Russia to take out zalinski
23:29
to terminate any idea of a victory plan and viability and then call NATO’s Bluff
23:35
let’s turn it around because I can guarantee you this K starmer will have to put on a pair of depend if Russia
23:42
calls NATO’s blood because he will be peeing his pants in fear because NATO’s not ready to go to
23:48
war with Russia they’re not ready for this Russia needs to take out Kev take
23:53
out zinski and then tell NATO what are you going to do about it the answer is
23:58
nothing NATO will do nothing because they they can’t NATO only acts on weakness the perception of weakness and
24:04
right now Russia is perceived by NATO as being weak because Putin hasn’t acted immediately as he said remember Putin
24:10
said the decisions have already been made the orders have already been given I don’t know I saw six attacks
24:18
missile strike Russia this morning um has a decision been made have the orders
24:23
been given then why aren’t they being implemented Russia’s inaction fuel s
24:29
NATO aggressiveness NATO overconfidence and if Russia doesn’t respond soon you’re going to see The
24:36
Next Step which will be scalp missiles Storm Shadow missiles remember they only have a two Monon they only have a
24:42
two-month time frame to affect this change they being NATO so there’s going to be acceleration the United States
24:47
will now provide longer range missiles um more aircraft will come in extended
24:53
air defense um you know and next thing you know Ukraine is part of NATO and if
25:01
Russia doesn’t do anything that’s the reality that’s the outcome that’s going to
25:06
happen I wonder if the Biden Administration is communicating with Trump and his team on this
25:14
matter I don’t think so I don’t think so I think I I think you see Fury inside
25:19
the Trump administration because they have a mandate for Change and the Biden Administration is totally disregarding
25:24
this mandate they’re they’re acting as if the American people didn’t speak clearly about what you know what they
25:31
want um and and uh I mean this is dangerous for democracy it’s dangerous for the world it’s an insult to
25:37
democracy Joe Biden saying I don’t care what the people said the people clearly
25:42
have said they don’t want to continue your policy with Ukraine and yet Joe Biden is now forcing a war to tie up
25:50
Donald Trump’s hands so that when Donald Trump becomes president on January 20th he will be presented with a fate comple
25:58
uh that he can’t implement the changes remember NATO is doing this because NATO understands uh under left to his own
26:04
volition Trump is going to end NATO NATO is a corrupt edifice Trump views it as
26:10
such he views it as an organization that has no justification but if suddenly you make NATO relevant by U imposing NATO on
26:17
Ukraine to confront Russia and now Trump has to deal with this reality um it
26:23
changes everything it gives NATO you know a new lease on life and so that’s what’s Happening Here this is the
26:28
equivalent of me going into Las Vegas mortgaging my house taking my children’s college fund everything and just going
26:35
in and putting it all on red and praying that the roulette ball comes up red not
26:41
once but five times in a row because that’s what I need to win odds are it isn’t going to happen but that’s the
26:47
kind of gambling mentality that’s taking place with the Trump Administration right now here is what wals the next
26:54
national security adviser to Donald Trump said on Fox News so two months left in office Joe Biden has done
27:01
something he been called on to do for the last since this war started allow Ukraine to strike Russia with everything
27:06
that we give them the the attack thems which are longrange missiles hit Russia where they’re trying to hit them from
27:12
your reaction to that and were you briefed ahead of time uh I was not Brian and it’s you
27:19
know it’s another step up the escalation lad and nobody knows where this is going
27:24
uh North Korea is unle unleashing ballistic missiles artillery now tens of thousands of soldiers the administration
27:32
uh responds by lifting this restriction North Korea sends more soldiers South Korea is now saying it may get engaged
27:40
uh China is buying oil from Iran for pennies of the dollar Iran is using that
27:46
to send missiles and drones in to Russia that is then hitting Ukrainian critical infrastructure so this is a development
27:53
but it’s a tactical one president Trump is talking Grand strategy here
27:58
uh how do we get both sides to the table to the end this war what’s the framework for a deal and who’s sitting uh at that
28:06
table those are the things that uh uh I and president Trump of course will be working with again this is an All-Star
28:13
team Brian that uh president Trump uh is a symbol
28:21
yeah do you find it that right now with this decision that would bring some sort
28:27
of differ difficulties to the relationship to the not to the relation there is no relationship to
28:33
the talks between the United States and Russia for in in the Trump
28:39
Administration I’ve always said that Donald Trump’s idea of being able to pick up the phone and call Vladimir
28:44
Putin and bring this war to an end in 24 hours is an absurdity um it’s it’s impossible
28:50
because Vladimir Putin is not the kind of leader that would respond to that unless Russia is bluffing in then case
28:58
you know Vladimir Putin may be looking for a way out um it’s a hell of a gamble
29:03
though because I don’t think Russia’s bluffing um I think the I think the the
29:09
the gentleman that you spoke to the the future National Security adviser Mr Waltz I believe is name
29:15
is yeah I think he’s unrealistic in the extreme first of all everything he said the way he couched his problem is is
29:20
just crap um I don’t want to get you demonetized for using bad words so uh it’s garbage um you know
29:28
there’s no evidence that North Korean troops are deployed into Russia um in order for that to happen you would have
29:34
to believe that Russia which is a very legalistic Nation would allow North Korea to send troops to Russia before
29:40
the uh treaty that would Empower that had been ratified and and made into law
29:46
that’s not how it works um but we’ve made this up this is part of the justification remember the reason why
29:52
we’re authorizing the tachs missile to strike kers is that we’ve created a
29:58
script a narrative that says North Korean troops are coming into K this is a GameChanger that we have to empower uh
30:05
the the the ukrainians to respond to there’s no evidence whatsoever that North Korean troops are in kers and I
30:11
don’t believe they are um because what’s a legal framework Russia just doesn’t
30:16
allow foreign troops onto its soil um there has to be a legal framework that legal framework didn’t exist at the time
30:22
when we said North Korean troops are coming in so no we made this up and we’re making it up because we also want
30:29
South Korea to start shipping Munitions and weapons to uh Ukraine South Korea
30:35
was hesitant to do that but now with this so-called North Korean escalation South Korea is now engaged this is about
30:42
once again the United States lying to the world lying to the American people about a non-existent threat uh in order
30:48
to justify um military actions the same model of lies and deceit that led us to
30:54
a war in Iraq the only difference was that the Iraqis didn’t have nuclear weapons and um you know we we couldn’t
31:02
pay a price because we were going to win that fight here the Russians do have nuclear weapons and all this escalation
31:08
there’s no guarantee that we’re going to Prevail it could just lead to nuclear disaster this is a very very dangerous
31:14
situation I would also say that the National Security advisor future National Security advisor uh belief that
31:21
he’s going to have a serious role in shaping Donald Trump’s U worldview is uh
31:27
a little little misplaced Donald Trump is a top- down leader just ask John Bolton at HR HR MC McMasters ask Michael
31:35
Flynn um what it was like to be the National Security adviser for Donald Trump Donald Trump does what Donald
31:41
Trump wants to do when Donald Trump wants to do it um and the others aren’t going to advise him the person that has
31:47
perhaps the most influence over him will be Tulsi gabard who won’t allow this kind of garbage to be fed to him this
31:53
falsified intelligence she will dig down and say no Mr President there’s no evidence of this this is the truth this
31:58
is what’s happening Etc then the president will turn to the National Security adviser and say I want a meeting with Putin and your job is to
32:05
make that happen if the National Security advisor says Mr President I advise against that he won’t be National Security adviser for too long you don’t
32:12
advise the Pres against the president you support the president’s decision that’s one of the things that Biden or
32:17
that Trump learned from the first time around they let too many people oppose him we could have had a denuclearize
32:24
North Korea that’s the irony here that had Donald Trump’s suceeded in his
32:29
Outreach to North Korea we wouldn’t be talking about North Korean troops potentially being in uh Russia we
32:34
wouldn’t be talking about North Korean ballistic missiles it would be a completely different dialogue because we would have normalized relations with
32:40
North Korea and we move down the path of stability that’s what Donald Trump wanted to do he was opposed by his
32:46
secretary of state Secretary of Defense National Security advisor Director of National Intelligence and everybody on his staff they opposed
32:54
it he learned from that lesson he won’t Brook oppos position he’s been mandated
32:59
to carry out a revolution and he’s going to carry out that Revolution as he sees fit and so I I think these people that
33:07
think Marco Rubio is going to have an impact he won’t you think Waltz is gonna have impact he won’t the one who will
33:13
have the most impact is Tulsa gabber because his director National Intelligence she gets to brief him on the worldview every morning and that
33:20
conversation will shape Donald Trump’s worldview and then he will give direction to others to implement but
33:26
they aren’t going to tell him what to do he going to tell them what to do it’s not just about the problems that
33:32
the Biden Administration is trying to make for Donald Trump in terms of the conflict in Ukraine here is what or solo
33:41
vanderlin said about the future of the
33:48
confoy days ago Russia tried to wipe Ukraine off the map and for 1,000 days
33:55
Russia has failed because of Ukraine’s resistance and the sacrifice of your
34:01
Heroes today is a day of mourning but also a day of promise we promise to keep
34:08
standing by your side for as long as it takes you can rest assured that European
34:14
and Western support will continue to flow the winter ahead may be scary but
34:21
it is in stormy days that true friends show up and Europe is your true friend
34:27
your freedom is our freedom and our Union is your home Long Live Europe and
34:34
Slava who are we is the United States on Donald Trump is part of we that she’s
34:40
talking about no and she knows that Donald Trump and the United States under Donald Trump is not part of we our Union
34:48
that’s the European Union we Europe um again the easiest way to finish this
34:55
is to finish Ukraine the easiest way to finish Ukraine is to um destroy Bova
35:02
Street destroy the Ukrainian government um destroy zelinsky’s ability to govern um that can happen right now and it
35:08
should happen right now it brings all of this to an end once you remove zalinsky and his government
35:15
from the equation it’s over it’s unsustainable the West there’s nothing to hold on to Ukraine isn’t going to
35:22
recreate a government overnight isn’t going to create structures capable of governing uh it’s not a democracy it’s a
35:29
dictatorship and the dictatorship is the people around zalinski you eliminate those people Ukraine sinks into chaos
35:36
Anarchy and there’s nothing the West there’s nothing for the West to hold on to and I would love nothing more than to wipe that silly stupid smirk off of her
35:42
face uh by seeing Russian decisive actions at this point in time it’s not that I want harm brought to the
35:48
Ukrainian people but I think at this juncture zalinsky is threatening the entire world with nuclear Annihilation
35:54
including Ursula velain she’s not smart enough to understand this but um you know her policy will lead to a decisive
36:02
confrontation with Russia that which which will eventually manifest itself in nuclear war and then we all die um you
36:10
know so the the the best thing the only thing that can save us right now is decisive Russian action against uh
36:17
against Ukraine it’s been promised if the Russians deliver we
36:22
might have a chance to live through Christmas but if the Russians fold if they uh if they’re bluffing
36:28
uh NATO is going to be calling their Bluff you saw her she’s ready to move forward aggressively um empowering Europe to do
36:35
things with NATO to go in and engage um but her words are empty if Russia stands
36:42
up because NATO cannot confront a determined Russia NATO can seek to
36:49
further intimidate a cow Russia Russia that’s been bluffing and that’s what they believe they believe that Russia is
36:55
bluffing they believe that Russia is weak that Putin doesn’t have the support that Putin uh won’t you know make these
37:01
hard decisions uh because he’s not empowered to um if they’re right then
37:06
it’s over for Russia because you know basically the Ukrainian conflict will end in a strategic Russian defeat um and
37:13
that will you know damage Putin at home it could lead to the maidon type um
37:19
events in Moscow that have him removed from Power this is this is a very very
37:25
critical time for Russia and um you know Vladimir Putin has outlined the
37:31
consequences of an American attack on Russia if he fails to deliver on this
37:37
then he’s bluffing and NATO will call that bluff and uh suddenly the zalinsky
37:42
victory plan that everybody was making fun of becomes real yeah we had G20 Summit here in
37:50
Brazil they were in the final points that they made in the final declarations
37:56
one of the points what was about Ukraine they were talking about Ukraine and the Middle East and also nuclear war that
38:06
both of these conflicts can lead to a nuclear war how did you find G20 Summit
38:12
Scott how is what is the importance of this Summit is the countries who are part of
38:19
this Summit considering their role to be more important more crucial or they’re
38:24
just going there like un at the and they just go there just do some talks and get
38:31
back to their home well if you remember back in
38:37
2022 February 4th I believe Vladimir Putin flew to Beijing to meet with X
38:42
Jang Ping On the eve of the uh the Beijing Winter Olympics and the the two
38:48
leaders um released 5,000 plus word joint statement that it was in effect a
38:54
declaration of war um against the the rules-based international order American
39:00
hemony um they said that the alternative is a law-based international order um
39:07
that is multipolar in nature consensus driven they articulated three potential
39:12
venues for this the first was bricks the second was the G20 and the
39:20
third was the Shanghai cooperation organization at that time it was said all three of these will be pursued um
39:28
bricks I think won out we saw a great deal of effort go into Kazan last month
39:33
uh to make bricks a viable State and indeed we see evidence of this uh at the
39:39
COPD conference in azerbijan um bricks Nations even though they
39:45
haven’t been recognized by uh the United Nations as as one of the you know as a formal group uh they were working um in
39:54
in in you know independently in a in a um unofficial manner coordina behind the
39:59
scenes to coordinate policies that’s the thing bricks Nations now talk to one another uh the
40:05
G20 um I think it’s interesting that we had the G20 in November and we had bricks in October and we get the J to
40:12
pose U you know and compare you know the um the effectiveness of the G20 and I
40:19
think what we’re seeing with the G20 is that um there is a fundamental split between the Western uh Powers the G 7
40:27
who have insinuated themselves into the G20 remember the G20 is a creation of the G7 they said oh we’re going to
40:34
create a bigger club that we control and we’re going to invite people in that we control but when you take away the G7
40:39
from the G20 you get bricks basically um and I think what we’re seeing is the the
40:46
flaws of the G20 because in order to succeed
40:53
the G20 has to be a consensus driven multilateral organization but there can be no consensus between the west and um
41:01
and and and the brics countries they are fundamentally at odds with one another so the G20 uh stands as an example of
41:10
why you need a bricks it’s an empowerment tool for bricks um and I and
41:15
I think that’s the the important thing bricks will never succeed because at the end of the day uh as long as there’s
41:22
this existential struggle between the rules-based international order and those who oppose in the global South um
41:29
you know you’re going to see this kind of of um of conflict and right now in Lebanon in
41:38
southern part of Lebanon we’ve learned that Israelis are using their Elites their Elite forces in the southern part
41:44
of Lebanon do you think their strategy is changing in the southern part of
41:50
Lebanon or they’re just pursuing the same kind of strategy and just expecting
41:57
a new result coming out of this first of all I wouldn’t read too
42:03
much into the seventh armored Brigade being deployed um you know
42:08
Elite from an Israeli perspective perhaps um you know there their their moment of Glory came during the yam
42:15
Kapur War uh where they uh where they you know fought valiantly to hold back
42:20
Syrian attack since then what have they done how Elite can you be when you’re in an armored unit that you used against uh
42:28
you know civilians that’s used against lightly armed infantry there’s nothing Elite about the seventh armored Brigade
42:33
it’s an armored Brigade um they have a certain Elon but they have never fought
42:39
a meaningful opponent except in 2006 when they fought Hezbollah and lost um
42:45
and they’re going to lose now the fact they’re sending in you know when do you send in your Elites at the at the culminating moment
42:53
of the battle I mean think about it the battle of waterl uh Napoleon the uh Republican guard the
43:01
uh I mean his his you know the elite bare skin wearing uh Guardsmen um of the
43:07
Old Guard uh were held until the end and then he sent in the Old Guard to attack
43:13
Wellington squares to break the British but the squares Hill the Old Guard Was
43:18
Defeated they retreated have the have the has Hezbollah been broken every Israeli
43:26
effort to go into into Lebanon has been repulsed by a very strong Hezbollah
43:31
defense which is uh inflicted you know very heavy losses on the Israelis now
43:37
they sent in the seventh armored Brigade why because the squares broke
43:42
hezbollah’s running back in Retreat or it’s their last gasp effort they have no
43:47
other resources now they have to act because they’re running out of time so is sending in the Brigade and it will
43:53
suffer the same fate as all the brigades that came before it burnt out of a tanks dead Israeli Soldiers the inability to
44:00
meaningfully penetrate Hezbollah defenses that’s what I believe this is this is a a recognition that the battle
44:07
has reached its culminating Point unless Israel does something that changes the
44:12
outcome you know blur prussians are appearing on the horizon and they’re coming down and if you don’t break
44:19
Wellington the combination of Wellington and and and the prussians is going to wipe you off the battlefield that’s what
44:26
Israel is facing right now they need to break Hezbollah this is an act of desperation that’s how I interpret
44:33
this in your opinion the strategy of Donald Trump in Israel would be
44:39
supporting Nao or just letting the opposition or those people who are not
44:45
agreeing on to get into the power to have the opportunity to be part of the government
44:54
because so far with Nao in power there is no possibility of any sort of change we had the war in Gaza they didn’t
45:01
finish they didn’t do they they couldn’t defeat hasb the Hamas and right now
45:07
they’re in the southern part of Lebanon maybe they’re thinking of when Donald Trump comes to power they’re going to
45:16
attack Iran just being in the southern part of Lebanon and having a new front
45:21
with Iran do you find it that way because it seems to me that in the of Netanyahu it
45:28
can be this strategy I think
45:34
Netanyahu I mean what you’re implying is that he has a two-month strategy nety
45:39
has a day-by-day strategy of staying Empower a living he’s under attack
45:45
across the board inside Israel um there’s a new Seymour Hirsch has uh published a
45:51
substack article and I encourage everybody to subscribe and read it uh that describes
45:57
the new legal trouble that Benjamin n Yahoo is in he gave a briefing a couple
46:02
uh I guess a couple weeks ago now um where he made the case that the
46:10
hostages didn’t come home because Hamas never planned on releasing the hostages that he’s not the blame that he wanted
46:17
this the whole time but it was Hamas that undermined and released and to support that he published an extract of
46:23
a document that the Israeli Defense Force seized in Gaza early on this is a strategic document that outlines the
46:30
Strategic vision of senoir what he hoped to accomplish with October 7th uh Etc um
46:36
and his strategic vision of the hostages um early on in this document which by
46:42
the way is the most sensitive secret document in the Israeli archive uh it’s so secret that they have a special
46:48
reading room in the Israeli headquarters of the military intelligence the Oman um
46:53
that you you have to have permission to go there which means you have to have a need to know you’re not allowed to take notes you’re not allowed to make copies
47:00
you can read the document and that’s it um Netanyahu sent somebody in there and
47:06
um abused his power to gain access to the document to copy the document and then to bring that out and then he used
47:12
this document to brief the Israeli people he used a page from it that said that senoir was um considering going to
47:20
Egypt with the hostages and then going on to Iran he said this proves that Hamas never ever intended to uh to to do
47:28
this I was justified um but that’s not the case the next two pages which nyaho
47:34
it’s a 12-page document the next two pages U clearly state that while this
47:39
was a suggestion to senoir senoir rejected this suggestion SAR said no we’re staying in Gaza we’ll have the
47:46
hostages and we’re looking for a deal to turn the hostages into a deal for a ceas fire the hostages are a tool part of our
47:53
strategy we want a ceased fire we’re willing to negotiate the return of the hostages for this which proves that it’s
48:00
Netanyahu not Hamas that sabotaged the entire hostage debacle that’s that you
48:06
know this this this this tragedy of these people being held now for over 400 Days I believe it is um you know it’s
48:13
it’s uh it’s Ben Jette Yahoo’s fault the judge he has been charged with two
48:19
crimes one crime is illegally releasing this uh information uh misuse of
48:24
classified material two lying to the Israeli people deceiving them by using classified information incorrectly the
48:30
judge who oversees this had to seal the file because of the political sensitivity this is explosive stuff um
48:38
then yahu is in a lot of trouble and so every day is a struggle for survival for him every day things continue to happen
48:44
to chip away at the foundation of his uh ability to govern uh they’re now judges
48:50
are saying it’s time that we bring him up on charges for corruption that he’s been charged with they’re now talking about opening up in October 7th tigation
48:57
that Benjamin yho will not survive politically so the notion that the Trump Administration is going to somehow ride
49:04
in and save Benjamin Netanyahu is ignorant as the day is long netanyahu’s problems come from within Israel and
49:10
there’s nothing Trump can do to change that to solve that um Trump wants an end to this conflict
49:17
Trump wants this conflict to be over um but Trump can’t save Benjamin Netanyahu
49:23
the same way that Trump can’t save Israel uh the damage that’s been done to Israel is fatal their economy is in
49:30
tatters they’re not going to recover 67 billion dollar hit last year over 100 billion dollar hit coming up this year
49:36
um nobody’s investing no trades coming in the thousands have fled their homes thousand mors will flee their home there
49:43
Israel can’t win this war and internally the uh the situation inside Israel politically is chaotic at best there
49:51
it’s not stable it’s unstable there was talk a little while ago of a military coup against Israel I will tell you this
49:58
if I were the CIA briefing the president United States on Iran’s future and I
50:03
took the Israeli scenario I just painted and replaced everywhere I said Israel I said Iran everywhere I said Netanyahu I
50:11
said um and I brief this Mr President in Iran we have a
50:17
collapsed economy $67 billion hit last year 100 billion here with no chance of recovery no Investments are going to be
50:24
made political chaos the Iran are losing everywhere they’re fighting we go well
50:30
this is the end of Iran any rational player when listening to that would say well Iran is in a state of freef fall
50:36
collapse it’s over you can’t the regime can’t recover And yet when we say Israel
50:41
everybody ignores it the world pretends to believe that Israel is stable that Netanyahu is stable that the Israeli
50:49
military is stable they ignore the fact that they have 12 to 24% desertion rate that people are committing suicide that
50:54
they can’t win there’s the the the the the Morales collapsed and the units that have to go on and fight over the same
51:00
terrain that they fought over three times previously in Gaza knowing that they’re going to continue to Die the
51:06
people recognize going into Southern Lebanon is a Death Wish every time they engage Hezbollah Hezbollah punches back
51:12
inflicts more casualties they haven’t Advanced 20 kilometers in they’re they haven’t occupied and controlled a
51:18
village they’re being slaughtered um this is the reality Israel is a state in
51:24
collapse and it’s not Scott r that says this this is Israeli generals that say this Israeli politicians former Prime
51:31
Ministers say this you had an Israeli General go on TV a while back that say that if if this doesn’t change he
51:38
doesn’t believe it’s going to change Israel will cease to exist in a year to five years Israel will cease to exist in
51:44
a year to five years and there’s nothing Trump could do to change that Trump can have all the zionists in the world
51:50
around him and he does but they can’t change this outcome just like I could have all the doors in
51:57
the world surrounding me but if I’ve ingested poison I’m going to die they can all
52:03
wish that I wouldn’t die they can make my death less painful but I’m going to die Israel has ingested the poison of
52:10
its own actions the world has rejected Israel because of its genocidal behavior
52:15
um Israel is rejecting itself uh near Civil War conditions the Israeli president’s been warning of a civil war
52:22
for some time now um Israel can’t recover from this Israel is fatally injured and there’s not a damn thing
52:28
Donald Trump can do to save Israel the best he can hope to do is mitigate the
52:34
Damage Done by the impending collapse of Israel um and Netanyahu for Donald Trump
52:40
is disposable and I don’t know if Netanyahu will be here when Donald Trump becomes president we don’t we can’t gu
52:46
because everything is moving so fast um and and and and in many ways Donald
52:51
Trump I think would prefer not to have Benjamin Netanyahu because he knows that Netanyahu there won’t negotiate Trump
52:56
has complained that there is a solution to be found but it requires negotiation and there’s one party that refuses to
53:02
negotiate and that’s Israel so when you talk about the need for change the need
53:08
for you know uh bringing it into the conflict the party that won’t go along with that is Israel and so as much as
53:15
Donald Trump supports Israel he understands that Israel is the problem not the solution and that while he can
53:22
surround himself with zionists who sing praise to Greater Israel Michael Huck can pray for the Rapture all he wants U
53:29
you know at least Stefon can go into the United Nations and and you know celebrate the Sabbath all she wants in
53:35
public and promote all this it’s meaningless because that’s just words you have to fundamentally change Israeli
53:42
reality and right now the Israeli reality is they have consumed a bunch of poison that they themselves made and
53:47
they’re going to die and there’s nothing Donald Trump could do to save
53:53
them here is in the Jerusalem Post they’re talking about the southern Lebanon is actually Northern
54:00
Israel do you think the mindset of the naan his administration is the same and
54:06
how is that a viable choice for Israel right now and how capable are they to achieve
54:13
that because it’s dangerous it’s unbelievable the way they’re talking about it’s not just about the West Bank
54:20
the northern part of Gaza right now they’re talking about the southern part of Lebanon it’s unbelievable if they’re
54:26
not careful uh a headline we might be reading in the near future is that um
54:32
northern Israel is Southern Lebanon that’s more likely to happen
54:37
than uh Israel defeating Hezbollah and taking over Southern Lebanon um hezel is
54:42
not going to be defeated but this is the mindset of the pro- Netanyahu people the
54:49
pro benir people I did I don’t know that author I’d have to Google him up but I can pretty much tell you that he’s not a
54:55
labor um if he’s not L could then he’s part of a far rightwing but lud you know this is
55:02
the kind of Greater Israel policy formulation that lud has been promoting
55:08
that netan has been promoting so this isn’t written by an academic I’m
55:13
guessing by a rational actor who’s looking at it doing sound analysis this
55:19
is an activist a pro Zionist activist who’s pushing for this outcome because
55:26
he believes in Greater Israel I don’t believe this is a guy sitting there going after careful consideration of all
55:32
things going on um you know I believe that the reality is that Northern that
55:37
that southern Lebanon is de facto part of Northern Israel I don’t know I could be wrong like I said I don’t know who
55:43
this guy is I’m just speculating based upon the absurdity of the uh of the headline but um you know the first thing
55:50
that has to happen is you have to defeat Hezbollah good luck Israel you haven’t done it so far and I don’t think the
55:57
seventh armor Brigade is going to succeed either if they let’s assume that Donald
56:02
Trump goes to a level of helping Israel that they can defeat Hezbollah do you
56:10
think that Iran would stay side that doesn’t do anything about it or Iran
56:15
would get involved in that a lot depends on Donald Trump I
56:23
think Donald Trump ran on a PL plat platform that said avoiding War so I
56:28
don’t think that he’s inclined to go to war against um against Iran plus understand this the world is different
56:34
today than it was in the first Trump Administration what has happened since Donald Trump stepped down from Office
56:42
China has brokered a reproach M between Iran and Saudi Arabia one of the key goals of a trump Administration the one
56:48
of the underpinning philosophies behind the Abrahams Accord was that Saudi
56:54
Arabia would normalize relations with Israel and create uh a a Sunni Shield
56:59
against the Shia Crescent to hold back the axis of resistance well we just had um
57:07
NBS meet with uh Russia and um and commit to the fact
57:15
that the there will be no normalization of relations with uh with Israel until there’s a Palestinian State and the
57:22
capital of the Palestinian state is in Jerusalem that’s a big change from what the position Saudi Arabia had before and
57:29
Donald Trump he can go back to Saudi Arabia and do the dance of swords that he did before and all that nonsense
57:35
isn’t going to change Saudi mindset the Saudis now are working joint military training with Iran they’re having that
57:42
level of dialogue it’s not moving towards a Saudi Iranian confrontation but rather uh furthering the Repro mon
57:49
because they both work in the bricks format uh which is a multilateral consensus-driven um you know global view
57:57
um so I don’t know what Trump thinks he’s going to accomplish the idea of creating how do you go to war against
58:03
Iran if you don’t have support amongst your Gulf Arab allies if uqar says you
58:09
can’t use Alid Airbase to strike Iran we won’t allow it if Bahrain says I’m sorry you can’t use uh moar as a is the
58:16
headquarters of the fifth Fleet to uh to go after Iran if everybody says no how
58:22
do you do it and right now nobody in the G Arab world is looking for a confrontation with Iran because that
58:27
brings in a confrontation with Russia and China and R and and Trump’s not looking for that kind of Confrontation
58:33
either so all this notion that Trump’s going to come in hard against Iran I think is absurd Trump has alluded to the
58:40
fact that he would consider lifting sanctions against Iran that he doesn’t view regime change as an essential
58:47
element of American policy it always has been since the
58:53
revolution our goal the Ian Revolution the Islamic revolutions our goal has been to remove the theocracy from
59:01
Power uh Trump is saying no that’s not our goal anymore so the notion that Trump is going to automatically align
59:08
with aggressive Israeli policies to attack Iran I think isn’t uh isn’t reflected by the facts and again even
59:15
though Michael Waltz I think that’s his name right Michael Waltz The National Security advisor even though he has uh
59:21
articulated uh positions that suggest that that’s the direction he would like to go even though Little Marco Rubio as
59:28
secretary of state has articulated um this they don’t call the
59:34
shots the guy calling the shots is Donald Trump and Donald Trump remember is the man who reached out to North
59:41
Korea for denuclearization despite the fact that Mike Pompeo was Secretary of State and John Bolton his National
59:48
Security advisor were dead set against it despite the fact that Dan coat his Director of National Intelligence was
59:53
dead set against it his secretary of defense was dead set said against it but he did it anyways because that’s what
59:58
Donald Trump wanted to do Donald Trump believes that he can negotiate a new
1:00:03
relationship with Iran that is mutually beneficial that that moves towards you
1:00:08
know economic prosperity for all because that’s his vision global economic
1:00:14
Prosperity can he achieve this I don’t know odds are against him um but I do
1:00:21
believe that Iran is willing to listen that’s one of the reasons why
1:00:27
Iran hasn’t attacked Israel you know this long awaited strategic strike
1:00:32
hasn’t happened because Iran is sitting there saying well wait a minute there’s going to be a new sheriff in town on January 20th we might want to listen to
1:00:39
the Sheriff before we have the gunfight at the OK crra um so I think they’re going to give Trump a chance to listen
1:00:47
to see what he has to offer to avoid war and that’s what Trump wants to avoid war
1:00:52
he doesn’t want a war and so all these people that are thinking that there’s going to be this war once Trump comes in
1:00:58
you didn’t listen to him when he ran for office he condemns the Biden
1:01:03
ministration for and past administrations for getting us involved in these endless Wars that just kill
1:01:09
people they don’t solve anything he’s promoting an end to conflict and I believe he’s sincere and
1:01:17
so let’s see what happens I think Iran is waiting is willing to wait and see what happens
1:01:23
too do you think that I ICC or icj are capable of changing their type they they
1:01:32
said this is a plausible genocide in Gaza they can change it to a real genocide that is happening in Gaza well
1:01:39
it is real we don’t need the icj or the ICC to come out and say anything um if
1:01:44
it looks like a duck walks like a duck quacks like a duck it’s a damn duck and the world recognizes what’s happening
1:01:51
that’s the thing normally you want to have these uh you know these these courts publish something that uh
1:02:00
that you can say see look this is what it is the world knows what it is they know
1:02:06
it’s genocide it’s manifesting itself right in front of our eyes we don’t need the ICC to prosecute we don’t need the
1:02:14
icj to Define it’ be nice if they did but we don’t need it we know what it
1:02:20
is so I you know I could care less what the icj says I mean it’d be nice if they came out and made it actual genocide but
1:02:29
um there’s no guarantee that they’re going to do that but just W the session but yeah
1:02:37
just are we live or are you recording we’re live you can you can take care of
1:02:42
your dog yeah yeah I think I gotta take care of somebody coming the
1:02:48
door just everybody who’s watching this
1:02:53
talk at 100 p.m. e Eastern Danny hon going to talk with Professor mirandi on
1:03:00
his channel you can join him after this talk M
1:03:08
Scot he’s going to be back in a
1:03:22
minute yeah the postman had to come to the door for a certified letter so uh sorry for the disruption but it is what
1:03:30
it is life life continues even if you’re doing a podcast exactly Scott just to
1:03:35
wrap up this session in your opinion you said that we all know it’s a
1:03:40
genocide but it has some sort of political pressure on the International Community it makes some sort of pressure
1:03:48
on them on each and every country who knows right after this decision coming out of ICC icj that it’s a genocide
1:03:58
how how do you find politically this decision how important is this how
1:04:05
because right now what’s going on in Gaza it’s unbelievable it’s
1:04:11
unbelievable and the only thing that we’re hoping to have is ICC or icj as we
1:04:16
know the countries are not doing enough for gas but what does the ICC will never
1:04:23
prosecute in Israeli it won’t happen happen sorry to say that um the United
1:04:30
States won’t let it happen I mean the IC will cease to exist uh you know we
1:04:36
passed a law that said that we’ll invade the Netherlands and take down the IC if
1:04:41
they ever go after an American um and now we’ve basically extended american-like protection to Israel so if
1:04:48
you’re waiting for the ICC to do something understand the United States will destroy the ICC before this ever
1:04:53
turns into something real that’s the reality the icj is different it’s a it’s a court that has a different
1:04:59
jurisdiction one that’s linked to the United Nations but the icj’s rulings by
1:05:04
themselves are meaningless meaningless uh yeah you think
1:05:09
politically what it that the world’s waiting for the icj ruling to make a decision to collectively form a military
1:05:16
Alliance to go in and confront Israel no it’s not going to happen um the icj will
1:05:22
will issue a ruling will be dismissed by the United States and by uh Israel and that’s it that’s the end of it because
1:05:29
nobody in the world’s willing to do what’s necessary to stand up and hold Israel to
1:05:34
account because they’re afraid of the United States as long as the United States provides this unfettered support
1:05:42
unrestrained support for Israel and there’s the Trump Administration will continue to provide this support um and
1:05:49
probably even be stronger in their defense of Israel than um than the bid Administration is um nothing will happen
1:05:56
the icj will come out with a with a finding and then that’s it nobody will take any action on it um the security
1:06:04
Council will not meet and say because of the icj’s finding it we now want to pass a chapter 7 resolution against Israel
1:06:09
authorizing military force uh to punish Israel for the crimes of genocide the United States will vo that resolution
1:06:15
the general assembly could come together and try to override Security Council in action as they did uh during the 1956
1:06:22
Suz crisis and the United States will defund the general assembly trust me Donald Trump would defund the United
1:06:28
Nations in a heartbeat and make other nations pay um we still have that power
1:06:36
we still have that that level of intimidation the ability to intimidate um so nothing’s going to change this is
1:06:44
why I say don’t wait for the courts I mean turkey now has decided that they’re going to cut diplomatic relations with
1:06:50
Israel but they continue to facilitate the transfer of aeri oil to Israel keeping a Lifeline open if Turkey was
1:06:57
serious turkey would not only cut diplomatic relations but cut all the oil
1:07:03
as well prevent aeran from giving Israel this Lifeline uh the world doesn’t need
1:07:09
to wait for an icj um finding they can kick Israel deny Israel diplomatic
1:07:17
recognition stop doing business with Israel you want to kill Israel today the entire world just sto doing trade with
1:07:22
Israel say no we’re done kick all these Israeli diplomats out send them home say we don’t recognize you start recognizing
1:07:29
Palestinian diplomats to replace them occupy the Israeli embassies and give them to the Palestinians and say this is
1:07:35
the true representative of Palestine that’s what needs to happen um deny Israel weapons deny Israel food deny
1:07:41
Israel oil deny Israel gas deny Israel Commerce uh and then you really want to
1:07:47
watch Israel Panic say that we won’t accept any aircraft coming out of Israel any aircraft leaving Israel can’t
1:07:55
land in Europe we won’t accept Ships coming out we close Israel’s borders Israelis are trapped you can’t
1:08:03
leave we don’t recognize you that’s what the world could do and then Israel is done finished dies right now right now
1:08:11
you want to cause Panic tell tell the Israelis in two weeks no more airplanes will be allowed to leave Israel watch
1:08:17
how quick millions of Israelis leave Israel because they don’t believe in it they don’t believe in this uh they they
1:08:23
believe in a myth that as long as that myth is sustained by the unfettered support of the United States they can
1:08:30
fool themselves into believing that Israel is the land of milk and honey but when that myth is shattered and the
1:08:36
reality hits them Square in the face they’re going to run that’s why Israel will die Israel will die not because the
1:08:43
world the Arab world or the Iranians will defeat Israel on the battlefield Israel will die because the majority of
1:08:50
the Israeli citizens will lose faith in the state of Israel and stop believing
1:08:57
that it’s worth the sacrifice they’re being asked to made to stay in Israel because things aren’t going to get
1:09:03
better they’re only going to get worse and because Zionism is an artificial
1:09:09
concept the people will lose faith in this and they will flee um they will stop believing Zionism only works as
1:09:16
long as the myth of Israel is alive but when the mythology is shattered Zionism
1:09:21
has nothing to hold on to and it will collapse and that’s how you defeat Israel so the world needs to stop doing
1:09:27
business with Israel uh Nations need to stop recognizing Israel they need to evict Israel from the embassies withdraw
1:09:34
their support make sure there’s no framework for any interaction diplomatic economic or otherwise and turn these
1:09:42
embassies over to the true representatives of the land called Palestine make this a DEA facto reality
1:09:49
Spain should evict Israel put the Palestinians in don’t recognize Palestine as you know a separate entity
1:09:57
evict Israel and put the Palestinians in the Israeli Embassy and you start getting Nations around to do around the
1:10:03
world to do this Israel ceases to exist because the Israeli population isn’t
1:10:09
going to hang around they’re not going to sit there and die in uh in in in
1:10:15
Israel they’re goingon to flee and that’s the end of Israel when Israel demographically changes when you have
1:10:21
three to four million people leave Israel it becomes unsustainable as a is as a as a Jewish State and that’s why
1:10:28
the two-state solution is never going to happen because to create a two-state
1:10:33
solution you have to dismantle the West Bank settlements and as soon as you do that there’s a Civil War and then the
1:10:40
faith in Israel collapses people flee um but we can we can accelerate this
1:10:45
process if the world just rejects Israel and says we don’t recognize Israel Israel no longer exists as far as we’re
1:10:51
concerned we’re not going to do business with Israel or anybody who calls thems Israel and when you do that Israel dies people
1:10:57
flee now the only solution is a single state solution and here’s the beauty of a single state solution the way I
1:11:04
articulated because Israel collapses on its own volition the Israeli
1:11:09
government will have no choice but to give up its nuclear weapons program because they sure as hell aren’t going
1:11:15
to give the Palestinians nuclear weapons and they will do what I call the South African solution they will call the
1:11:21
international atomic energy agency they will sign the Nuclear nonproliferation treaty and then they will turn over
1:11:27
their nuclear weapons program to be dismantled and destroyed um by International inspectors so that when it
1:11:34
becomes the state of Palestine Israel is a non Palestine will be a non-nuclear state U fully in compliance with the
1:11:41
nuclear nonproliferation treaty this is another benefit of seeking the collapse of Israel um the indirect route don’t
1:11:49
don’t talk about an existential fight with Iran and all that that could lead to the Samson option that could lead to Israel saying fire our nukes kill
1:11:56
everybody we don’t want the Samson option kill Israel this way just cut it
1:12:02
off cease to recognize it and watch Israel collapse from within yeah thank
1:12:08
you so much Scott for being with us today great pleasure as always thanks and I hope that just doesn’t I just
