They have no ability to conduct these military operations without us.

And the ones that they are conducting are getting these these missiles shot at them that they need us to help them protect themselves from.

So we have all the leverage in the world.

There's no need.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, if this was real, we wouldn't even need to hear about it.

Israel just wouldn't be attacking Lebanon right now.

He wouldn't be doing these weird things where he's going like, there'll be no boots on the ground in Beirut.

You're like, yeah, but that wasn't really the sticking point.

Now, was it?

I did just want to mention because you brought it up before.

This might be an area where we disagree.

The New York Times piece, I completely believe.

think that's totally real and the new york times also isn't you know look they're the new york times i'm not saying they're not mouthpieces for the intelligence agencies obviously they are but they're not axios if you know what i mean like it's not exactly the same thing and i think this is a real security level being raised by people in our intelligence community you know it's been it's been an open secret for many decades um that anyone who pays attention to this

has read about, including the ones who support Israel, and they just pretend they don't.

But it's like an open secret that Israel spies on us like crazy.

Like they're just known for doing this.

Israel, like it's one of the big things that 9-11 conspiracy theorists hang on to is that there were like a bunch of Mossad agents spying throughout America, you know, leading up to 9-11.

But, you know...

not taking a position one way or the other on that, just saying that for the sake of argument right now, that they also do that outside of 9-11.
