And then our government.
greedy and corrupt politicians and media tell us that we owe the Israelis more war and more genocide.
The reason why I think we're in a lot of trouble here and it's not going to be easy to resolve is every time we get close to peace, Netanyahu calls Trump, literally happened this weekend, right after the call, Trump then goes back to warmongering.
After the call,
We bombed Iran.
Israel started heavy bombing of Lebanon.
And then Trump came up with three new totally impossible things.
Give me all the highly enriched uranium on day one.
Well, it's buried under the ground.
It's going to take months to take out.
Number two, you all have to join the Abraham Accords.
Again, American media paints it as, oh, this wonderful peace plan.
It's no such thing.
It's to normalize relations with Israel and start doing trade with Israel without getting a promise back that they're going to end the occupation.
It is betraying the Palestinians and saying the Israelis can permanently occupy them.
By the way, againβ
never talked about in American media.
We read a lot of this in the Israeli press, and that's why we get a lot of our information on the Young Turks from them, because they actually do pretty good reporting in Israel.
And so one of the things is they believe in greater Israel.
They talk about it all the time.
