Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar · 4/13/26: Korea Flames Israel, Eric Swalwell Scandal, Norm Finkelstein On Iran War · 13 Apr 2026 podcast

I mean, this...

again, is extraordinary stuff from the president of South Korea, a allied nation whose entire economy was thrown into full chaos.

They were already exploring bilateral negotiations, but I think it shows a couple of things.

The Palestinian issue is the one that they can easily reach for.

They know that it's sympathetic for their population.

They're linking.

their own history, and it's also a deeply, not even not so subtle, shot at the United States here.

It's like, we're not taking orders from you whenever it comes to our relationship here with Israel anymore, which I think is very fascinating to watch this happen.

I think that's highly significant.

There's two things here.

Number one, I mean, it's worth noting that, of course, at the height of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, they had nothing to say, but obviously the entire population of the world, effectively, has turned against Israel because of what they have seen and the horror that was perpetrated there.

So now that Israel has been directly involved in the Iran war, which is plunging the entire world into economic chaos, which is directly damaging dramatically the South Korean economy, now they can use the moral issue of the way you treat Palestinians to also push back against Israel at a time when South Koreans are obviously suffering.

So there's that.

And then the other piece is the U.S.

piece.

the U.S.

has been shown to be relatively weak, weaker than expected.

We were humiliated in a lot of ways.

And so the threats from Trump and the fear of how he'll respond and that he'll have Israel's back and you can't break from them because they're our ally and you need to be on board with them no matter what they do, those threats are not as potent, especially, again, in a time when you have a genuine national crisis in South Korea because of the energy crunch.

So it's both a sign of just how furious they are with Israel and also a sign of comparative weakness from the U.S.
