They're out to kill us.

We need dominance.

They're evil.

They have nuclear weapons or they want whatever.

Those are all security side.

But then there's this whole strong religious dimension.

And when you had the...

amazing interview with Ambassador Huckabee, which was, I think, a world eye-opener, he displayed in a way that people all over the world had never seen before this very particular British and American Christian Zionism.

It's

very particular it's 19th and 20th century it's a very uh specific way of reading a couple of books of the three books of the bible uh i would say uh

The Genesis, the promise of the land, the book of Joshua, which says, go kill everyone in the land so you can take the land.

It's a commandment strange in the Bible to commit multiple genocides in the name of God to get all the land that has been promised to you.

And then the book of Revelation, which is the final book of the New Testament.

And it's a very, very particular reading.

It's not at all mainstream Judaism.

It's not at all mainstream Christianity anywhere in the world.

But it has its...

important political base in the United States and more traditionally in Britain.

So what we're seeing in Israel is an extremism that is shocking.

And now coming back to my exchange with the ambassador at the UN, I said to him that I thought Israel was, was, and is committing suicide.
