You are right Alan but, having said that, again I demand to know: why do you continue to support Joe Biden in is bid for the presidency?! Do you have any doubt in your mind that Trump would never dream of doing what Biden is doing which you have highlighted so excellently in this message of yours? Stop defending Joe Biden for president!
I am in complete agreement, but there are two issues I don't understand. One is Iran. There is wide consensus about the fact that the crisis and world destabilization we suffer from at this time emerges from the monstruos gigantic tentacles of Iran. Why isn't there a strategy to take care of Iran before they obtain nuclear weapons? Instead, rather than pressuring Iran with economic sanctions, which eventually would have worked, Biden gave them $6billion. The second issue is the presumed power of Michigan's Arab voters to sink Biden's bid for re-election. Is that truly so? Do they matter that much? Biden is pressuring Israel and attempting to impose a Palestinian state at the worst possible time because of these Arabs' vote. This is appalling. And immoral. But, hey.
One is perhaps wiser to take Biden's age seriously and move on.
Alan has previously said he favors a war with Iran.
You ask why there is no "strategy to take care of Iran before they obtain nuclear weapons". It would require overthrow of the Mullahs and occupation of the country. Let's see... where have we tried that recently and how did it work out? That's why. Also, Iran doesn't need nuclear weapons to deter American aggression. Their proxies in Yemen have effectively closed the Red Sea & Suez Canal to Western shipping. Imagine what their navy could do if they really wanted to play mean.
Thanks! A couple of past successful major acts by both the US and Israel included the US involvement in the installation of Ayatollah Houmeini - who the US thought would be a positive change- and the combined intelligence forces that sent the mighty Stuxnet virus to Iran's nuclear data bases.
Your take on nuclear weapons is interesting. At first sight, it does seem that nuclear weapons are a very desirable acquisition in the Middle East: Iran is definitely speeding up their production, continuing their nuclear program's epic saga, as nuclear weapons are extremely important to Iran. And Saudi Arabia will deal with Israel in exchange for US nuclear help to build their own program (and other goals). This war and extreme inflammation in the Middle East is Iran's obsession with thwarting Saudi Arabia's potential supremacy as well as avoiding peace initiatives with Israel. I do get your mention of Iran's navy, and can see how they would be a threat. But then, one of the first things the US did right after October 7 was to send a few nuclear submarines to Israel's- and Gaza's- Mediterranean coast. The US apparently foresaw this possible scenario and decided it would deter any naval Iranian initiative. Which as long as Iran doesn't have nuclear bombs, is a very strong deterrence. So, methinks, there may be room for strategy.
A question: what did you mean by "American aggression"? Did you mean the US's and its allies defensive attacks on the Houthis?
I don't mean Iran doesn't want nuclear weapons from a strategic sense. Of course they do, and they will undoubtedly end up producing some of them. N. Korea, India, Pakistan... there's no stopping that genie at this point. (Something Oppenheimer himself feared very much.) I mean instead that Iran is a very capable threat even before they've constructed an atom bomb.
On the question of "deterrence of American aggression", I mean actual deterrence, as in preventing America from acting violently when it otherwise would do so. Joe Biden (wisely I think) did not directly bomb Iran after those 3 soldiers were killed on the Syria/Iraq border. Likely because he is aware (on his good days at least) that Iran possesses the ability to inflict far more serious casualties if they choose to do so. That's deterrence.
For all the nonsense from Biden recently, the US government is continuing to supply massive quantities of arms to Israel, while criticizing Israel's conduct of the war. This is pretty transparently political, an attempt to appease some of Biden's left-wing critics. I suppose I can give Biden a pass on this in an election year. What I find less tolerable is Biden's outreach to the antisemitic Hamas supporters in Michigan. These are people who have vocally supported Hamas' murderous rampage and yet Biden is trying to win their support. Or as Trump would have said, "There are fine people on both sides..." How come the press gives Biden a pass on his outreach to Islamic extremists?
You are 100% correct. Imagine if after 9/11 Israel told the USA that Al Qaeda should have its own country right next to America. This is exactly what Biden is trying to do to Israel, rewarding terrorism.
Hyperbole about Hamas "winning" the war. But take a hypo, Prof --- what happens if Hamas loses the war. More of the same of the last 75 years? Or worse with Ben Gvir and the Hasidics, Jewish Power backing Netanyahu?..You yourself frtequently claim to support aa 2 state solution --- no doubt to appear to be reasonable. As usual you offer no details. what size, boundaries would the state have? What about the 500 000 Jewish settlers who have no intention of integration with non-Jews? If the settlerrs get to stay, can the Palestinian diaspora return and to where? As a personal friend of Netanyahu, why haven't you convinced him to support --- at least in theory --- a 2 state solution? Why can't Israel DO WHAT EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS EXPECTED TO DO: grant equal rights to all citizens/residents makinjg a one-state solution is possible? Didn't you support that ideas in Alabama in the sixties? Why should Jews be protected as White suprermicists were not, by you and the American government? If you insist on Jews being the Master Race in Palestine/Israel, should we not rectify the "injustice" of poorly nuanced history and give South Africa back to the Boers and Alabama back to the descendents of Governor WEallace and Police Chief Conner?
The survival of the Jewish people depends on Israel being maintained as a Jewish state. The "palestinians" and the rulers they voted for and support are all about committing a second holocaust. Anyway, we don't need to justify our right to exist to bigots. Oh, and all Israeli citizens whether they be Jewish, Arab, Christian or Muslim already DO have equal rights in Israel, which isn't the case in a single muslim country. You are clearly ok with Arab/Muslims being the master race in their numerous nations while decrying the existence of one tiny Jewish state where in fact non-Jews have complete equality.
Oh Laura ---an Ashkenazi name, right? Doesn't sound Falasha, Lubavitcher, Sephardic, Hasidic, Mizrahim. Arthur Koestler and his research "The 13th Tribe" is the source. You have no genetic roots in the Holy Land, any more than some random Eskimo. Genetically you are a khazar, a descdendent of people who, lived, never in Palestine, Judea Samaria or any nearby place. Your ancestors, Dershowitz's too, are mere converts, Johnny come latelys, who all came from the Khazar Empire which roughly 1400 years ago was in the Ukraine. God never promised your people or those West Bank Settlers (also Ashkenazis) the Promised Land because none of you are descended fro the 12 tribes of Israel. You are a Khazar. Your homeland is in the Ukraine. Go fight with Putin if you want a homeland for Ashkenazis. Netanyahu, anotherr ashkenazi9 can vbecome PM of khazarland.
The West Bank settlers can be deported to the Donbas.
Interesting but not dispositive. How many Jewish 12 Tribe genes are necessary to maintain the biblical covenant claim to the Holy Land. In an entire human body, is it enough with one single, solitary gene derived from a 12 Tribes ancestor? The Khazars were a Turkish people whom originally migrated from areas in China and the Far East. Thisis why Ashkenazis have a subdade N9a3a1b1 directly descended from a lineage found in Turkic populations and in the Far East..(2022 studies by 1) Shamam Waldman and 2) Kevin Brook). This shows the potentiality of Khazar origin for then Ashkenazis. In the following 16 centuries, Ashkenazis became "mongrelized" just as many other ethnic populations, such that Xue reports 60% of the Ashkenazi genes are European/Eurasian in origin and unconnected to the 12 Tribes of Israel. STher remaining genes maymhave come from internarriager with descendents of Jews resident in the Roman Empire (20 000 in Rome itself). Therefore both you and Dershowitz, hard core Zionists, are mostly genetically/physically not Jewish. Majority Gentile DNA is co-existing in your very body despite your very Jewish identity. So why casn't you allow similar equality for Palestinians in a Jewish State?
The youth of today are not so stupid as we are led to believe from our propagandist news circuits vomit out.
Most of these so called "supporters" of a Palestine cause or state have been bussed over our borders, or sent to our universities by terrorist countries who fund our universities. All to promote their evil agenda of a two state suicidal "final " solution to Israel! But...GOD, He has the final say for His people and His state of IsraEL named by Him! Given to our Jewish people!
If Hamas wins, then it will be because of the present administration who truly hates America, and hates white people, Hates Jews and Christians . Who is it that I am speaking of ? Obama and the other top democratic / communist in congress and some Republicans who appease the far left .
I think this is where you begin to lose people on the right and the left.
Look, there is no such thing as a pro putin voter. Not wanting to send money to Ukraine has nothing to do with Putin. MAGA and classical liberals (not neoliberals) simply oppose regime change and using the American military as a global police force.
The issue in Israel is an ongoing conflict over real estate. Israel must defend itself. If it cannot defend itself, then Israelis can move to the U.S. We will deport the 10M that came illegally, and take the 4-5M Israelis who actually have a real reason to move.
Real estate? Sorry this is ideology. Hamas wants a caliphate where Israel is and this has been true since Mohammed rose to power in 600AD. There is no compromise with Hamas; any Muslim who stands up for peace, dies!
Providing arms to allies in order for them to fight for themselves does not make America a global police force. Our troops are uninvolved in the fighting. Some day we will need allies and they will not come to our aid. Neither the hamas war on Israel or the Russian war on Ukraine are conflicts over "real estate". They are existential ones. hamas and like-minded terrorists want to obliterate Israel and bring forth another Jewish genocide. Russia wants to obliterate Ukraine's existences as a sovereign nation.
Professor, I truly enjoy your videos and articles. Having said that, I respectfully recommend opening the classroom to a fresh start on two issues: Russia/Ukraine and Palestine/Zion. Frozen ideology can be a dangerous trail guide.
The only thing you are right about is that terrorists are being enabled to take over the globe leaving us unprotected.
You know nothing about that sleaze ball Suozzi and how disgusting he is. I lived in that area. Suozzi winning was a loss for law and order. Mazi was the better candidate.
As for the Ukraine. You are wrong on that too. The deep state caused that was and continue. Not Putin. Putin at this time is on the right side of history.
Do you have any idea that this is a spiritual war and Biden and the Dems and Rhinos serve the dark side.
You people who think it’s just politics are in Lala land.
You're an idiot. Putin is satanic and is on the wrong side of history. Whatever happened to the Reaganites? I remember when conservatives actually supported freedom in eastern Europe, now too many are on the side of the Kremlin. Sickening. What is driving this love affair with putin? Stop already, he's our enemy, not to mention putin being allied with hamas and Iran. What is wrong with you people? What has happened to your moral compass? Bring back the party of Reagan ASAP.
This is your Democratic Party. Where have you been for the last 4 decades? Every time you spoke you needed to present your progressive bonafides by condemning the settlements. Maybe you should have worried about the growing antisemitic wing of the DNC instead of trying to kiss their asses
I don’t talk to name callers because it indicates lack of character, a lack of ability to look at information and analyze it without the aid of what to be told to think and a lack of an ability to see through main stream media lies. So go stew in your in ability to get the real facts so you can help bring down the world and especially the US…good luck….i will not answer any of what you say because it is a waste of my valuable and very smart time.
We should not be catering to youths, especially the brainwashed college students. It is up to older generations to be teaching the younger generation right from wrong, good from evil, not pandering to their wrongheaded beliefs. Anyone supporting hamas should not have the right to vote. We ought to be raising the voting age perhaps to 30. I would make an exception for those serving in the military, however.
