They have complete impunity to commit murder anywhere that they want in the world. I don't agree with that. They are literally killing negotiations by killing the negotiators. What passes for US foreign policy? It's not US foreign policy. It's Israeli foreign policy.
Jeffrey Sachs just revealed how Israel maintains total control over US foreign policy on Piers Morgan's podcast, citing examples from Gaza, Iran, and the recent strike against negotiators for a ceasefire in Doha. He's one of the most impressive geopolitical analysts, especially as it pertains to this theater. So, let's get his take on this. Please like the video and subscribe to the channel.
Well, with Israel, it's it's absolutely disastrous that the United States has been in the hands of the Israel lobby or the Zionist lobby for decades. Israel is waging a war all over the Middle East, destabilizing the entire region, and the United States is saying, "Okay, okay, okay, okay." Even President Trump said as Israel is now in war in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and I mean war, it's on the ground fighting in Yemen. In uh now Qatar, Donald Trump said yesterday, well, Prime Minister Netanyahu told me he's for peace. That's good. This is um this is not good. This is not serious. This is extremely dangerous. And every time we've talked, Israel has just escalated its mass murder, its war on its own population that it is has in occupation. And now it continues to expand the war, bombing uh Doha yesterday. It's and and Trump saying he didn't know. I believe him. He didn't know. I'm sure the CIA knew. Uh but they probably don't let Trump in on on a lot of what's going on. Uh this is all absolutely dangerous, reckless, and a very sad uh commentary on uh what passes for US foreign policy. It's not US foreign policy, it's Israeli foreign policy.
Yeah, it sure is. I mean, he said it all there. I completely agree. The only kind of difference I'd have with him is even calling what's happening in Gaza a war. A war pertains to two sides vying, you know, against each other. But actually, what you have there is a genocide where one side is essentially defenseless with few people standing up for it. You know, Hamas being wiped out mostly as a fighting force. They're not even hurling rockets into Israel anymore. And they haven't for months since April, I believe. And I don't think they'll be able to wipe out Hamas through this. But Hamas is Israel's own creature. Netanyahu long supported Hamas because he thought its elevation and its ascension would destabilize the Palestinian Authority and prevent the enactment of a two-state solution. This is widely covered in the media, in the mainstream media, both in Israel and the United States. And he never has any good excuse for this. And Trump tied to the hip of Israel is always making excuses for Netanyahu and saying he didn't know about the strike. I don't believe that. I don't believe that the heads of Trump's deep state, the John Ratcliff's of the world, the Marco Rubio's of the world are keeping this kind of information from him anymore. You could have argued that in his first term, but now he has Trump's men, his his own Zionist men around him. He would have known this. So, I don't buy the lies anymore. And I hate the fact that the US never uses any kind of financial leverage over Israel to get them to stop the slaughter. That's never done.
I want to play you the same clip I played uh Ian which is Yalda Hakim from Sky and he's talking to Naftali Bennett, former Israeli prime minister. Let's take a look. You've gone into sovereign territory, crossed uh the skies and launched uh this this strike on a sovereign state. You know, uh when the US went out and took out Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, they didn't notify Pakistan in advance. That was also a sovereign country. You have to do this in order to eradicate terror. So this has been the position of Israel from the start. We were attacked in an appalling terror attack which is obviously true on October the 7th and we were then wedded as a policy to eliminate Hamas and we will do that wherever Hamas is. Their argument is the Hamas leadership uh have been based a lot of the time in Qatar in Doha. They got information clearly that they believed a number of the leaders were going to be uh in this particular building and they attacked it. And what is the difference they say between that and what America did with Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad?
Well, I'll tell you some similarities indeed. The United States put Osama bin Laden on the CIA payroll in the 1980s and similarly Bibi Netanyahu put Hamas on the payroll. We all know that it was Netanyahu who went repeatedly to Qatar to tell Qatar pay Hamas that they were funding Hamas. Yeah. Over 1.8 1.8 Eight billion dollars of funding went from Israel to Hamas through Qatar. Qatar was the middleman because Israeli banks didn't even want to deal with this with trying to fund this obvious terror group. And Netanyahu apparently had some pushback within his circles. But he boasts about this. If you see the BB files, you can see this where he boasts about the fact that he controls the height of the flame. It's like the Godfather theory. He's saying this on video saying that the quote from the Godfather, you keep your friends close but your enemies closer. That's how he justified this and it's atrocious.
Sachs is also right about CIA support for the mujahideen. Mujahideen fighters against the Soviet Union in the late 70s and early 80s. Arms flowed from the CIA to Pakistan's ISI. That's like their CIA. and then flowed into the hands of Afghan fighters that included militias with people like Bin Laden fighting against the Soviets. And no, I'm sorry that Naftali Bennett is wrong. Israel doesn't maintain the right to kill Hamas everywhere. They maintain the right to kill Palestinians everywhere because that's who's being offed in mass numbers. Even if you trust their data that was leaked a few weeks ago, Glenn Greenwald covered this story. 83% of the people they have killed in Israel, according to Israeli intelligence, have not been Islamic Jihad or Hamas. They've been innocent. So, you can't tell me the women and children pulled up from the rubble are Hamas. I'm sorry. So, yes, there's a lot of dissimilar duplicity, but basically, Israel is completely lawless. It is utterly a rogue nation. Uh it is uh committing a genocide before our eyes. It is starving 2 million people. Uh children are dying of starvation every day. It is shooting people when they go to the food lines. Israel is just a murderous rogue nation. I have no nothing else to say other than this is a country that is in brazen violation of every moral standard and every international law.
He's right. And the US bankrolls it and supports Israel politically come hell or high water no matter what as a default. Never diverts from that. When's the last time the US has seriously diverted from an Israeli foreign policy objective? Sometimes shelving our own in the process as in Iran, as in diplomacy with Iran. It's hard to name it. I guess the JCPOA to some extent in 2015, but even that Obama agreed to up the funding for Israel as part of that because Netanyahu didn't like the JCPOA. That's really the only counter example in the last decade I can think of that we have right now. So when Naftali Bennett speaks, yes, he talks about Israel's impunity and other Israeli leaders have said so in the last day. We will go anywhere. We will hunt anyone. Nothing of nothing is beyond our reach. Well, that is complete lawlessness. And they're speaking the truth of their point of view, which is that they have complete impunity to commit murder anywhere that they want in the world.
Yeah. It's like the Mossad original motto. Through deception, thou must wage war. That's exactly what Israel does. It does it on the bankroll of the US and with political cover from the US. Not just the Trump administration. The Biden administration was like this, too. The deep state is like this, too. And it's not beneficial to Americans by any stretch. Americans who actually care about their communities, don't want to be plunged into debt, endless wars, stupid entangling alliances, trade wars with India over these geopolitical conflicts. It's not in the US interest whatsoever.
I don't agree with that. What do you think happens as a consequence of the strike in Doha? It does seem a significant escalation. The reaction from countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others show how seriously they're taking this. Obviously, before October the 7th, there was a move to potentially bring the Saudis in to the Abraham Accords and so on. Now, you've got UAE saying that actually the way things are going, they might come out of the Abraham Accords. Um, you know, there are going to be real-time consequences to this. And it, you know, I I was saying to Ian, I was at the state dinner uh thrown by the Emir of Qatar for Donald Trump a few months ago and their relationship looked extremely warm, very respectful. And it came at the, you know, in the middle of a Middle Eastern tour by Trump that had been focused on the extraordinary amount of business that was coming from these Middle Eastern countries uh in deals with America totaling several trillion dollars potentially over a few years. Um, you know, is all that up in smoke now? I mean, where does this leave us? If there is an attack by Israel into Doha in the way we saw that and there's no consequence for it, where does that leave everything?
We should remember that the reason that the Hamas individuals were in Doha is that this was the group that was considering uh Donald Trump's negotiating position from yesterday. This was a negotiating group. Israel does not want negotiations. Israel, every time that there are negotiations, tries to kill the negotiators. I mean that literally, not figuratively. It doesn't try to kill the negotiations. It tries to kill the negotiators. When the United States and Iran were negotiating over the status of Iran's nuclear program, they were entering the sixth round. And if you looked at what uh the negotiators were saying on both sides, they were making progress. That's precisely why Israel launched its so-called 12-day war on Iran to stop the negotiations. Uh this yesterday was an attack to kill the Hamas negotiators who have said several times that they want the permanent ceasefire that the United States has been pushing. Israel wanted to kill them before they could say that. Why? Because Israel's vision of this particular government, though it has unfortunately to say wide backing in the Israeli public, is that Israel will control all of Palestine and it will either kill the Palestinians or it will ethnically cleanse them, expel them or they will live under complete complete Israeli domination.
And yeah, he's exactly right. The hostages serve only as a propaganda tool for the Israelis. They could have gotten all the hostages back. Hamas actually was exchanging hostages throughout that first ceasefire organized by Donald Trump that Netanyahu violated and Trump apparently greenlit the violation of. So they didn't even want all the hostages because taking them off the table takes away the pretext that Netanyahu needs to justify the Greater Israel project to justify the total subjugation of Gaza, not just the quasi subjugation. And they have been subjugated for a long time, even even since 2005 and the so-called end of the occupation. Well, there's still a blockade, a diminishment of rights, a robbery of people's wealth, and and just a a complete two-tiered justice system, too. This is the case. This is the truth.
Sachs is right. They murdered the negotiators, people that candidly tried to seek an end to this conflict or at least, you know, a remission of the conflict and they're literally being murdered. Why? Because Israel doesn't want the ceasefire. They want subjugation. They want greater Israel. They don't want normalizing relations. They want ethnic cleansing. They don't want peace. And nothing is going to stop that. No negotiations, no two-state solution, no state of Palestine. This is obvious what they're doing. They are literally killing negotiations by killing the negotiators anywhere. And they're claiming the right of murder at any time, any place. Again, to my mind, this is a a dangerous and rogue state. And what country in the Gulf can feel safe if the United States is giving a blank check, financing and arming and diplomatically supporting any attack, whether it's in Lebanon, whether it's in Syria, it was against Iraq, whether it's in Yemen, now it's in Doha, Qatar. Absolutely. Israel's attacked seven of its neighbors since October 7th now and including dragging the US into a war with Iran. Plus, it's the only nuclear power in the region. I'm sorry, folks. This isn't normal. Let this sink in. They're literally attacking virtually all of their neighbors. And they're expanding West Bank settlements into Syria and Lebanon, expecting US support for that, getting it largely destabilizing the Syrian regime in favor of Al-Qaeda. Elevating Ghani or Al-Shara who was the former Al-Qaeda emir, the founder of Al-Qaeda's actual affiliate recognized by Iman al-Zawahiri uh in Syria. It was called Al-Nusra. He's the leader of the country now. We're just supposed to pretend there's nothing wrong with this relationship which completely compounds our debt, expands inflation, creates enemies overseas to the extent that they don't already exist. We get more and more enemies every year. And Sachs is exactly right. This is the Israel first mentality and the fruits that it bears. Uh, of course, no one's safe if Israel is the one that decides everything by military means. Diplomacy counts for nothing and the US will always back us up. Why will the US always back up Israel? It's one of the biggest mysteries imaginable. Is it Epstein files? Is it APAC money? Is it whatever misguided ideas? Nobody understands this. I say all the above. If you ask me, Occam's razor, it's all of the above for sure. Honestly, because the last thing in the world is this is not in the US interest. Don't take it from me. Donald Trump said so yesterday. He said explicitly, this isn't in America's interest. And it isn't in America's interest.
Yeah, Sachs is right. I actually didn't see Trump's comment about that. It's surprising to some extent, but sometimes you see the truth slip out that none of this is in America's interest. And it's not just the slip up at Doha, which was a calculated murder of negotiators, not even Hamas, just negotiators trying to put forward a ceasefire. And we're just again expected to bankroll it and just cheer on the propaganda about Israel that hey, Israel's just defending itself. They're oppressed by all their neighbors. They've done nothing wrong and we have to support this rogue state at all costs and we get no benefit from them. But hey, they're great. It's a great Israel country that is a great entity close to the United States and our rights and values. No, it's not. It's not even a democracy. If you're born on the wrong side of the Gaza wall, that's for sure. If you're born in the West Bank, if you're someone displaced from their property or part of the generations of people that were in 1947 and 1948 in the Nakba, it's certainly not. So, this Israel first mentality needs to stop. It's toxic. It's harming us. And it's spilling over into domestic politics, too. When politicians make out anti-Semitism as the biggest problem in the US and use it to push hate speech laws and curtailments of free speech and conflating anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism, the latter of which I clearly adhere to, the former of which I clearly abhor. That is the result of this on the domestic front. So this has spillover beyond foreign policy. So Sachs is absolutely right. They're literally murdering the negotiators and they're doing it with the tacit support of the United States.
Trump often defers to Netanyahu saying, "Hey, you know, that's their deal. It's not mine." Well, this relationship needs to end. We need to withdraw all troops to the Middle East and end support for Israel. But I do want to hear from you. Let me know down below. Is Jeffrey Sachs right? Does Israel actually want to free the hostages? What's in it for us? What's in it for us over the US-Israeli relationship? Cuz I don't see it. Guys, let me know in the comments down below.
