but most believe that partially it is growing because of israel's own policies or the policies of israel's closest allies it all started to be with the invasion of iraq which allowed iran to gain a foothold there was a campaign in the israeli compound in lebanon beach consecutively led to hizbollah gaining more influence and dot country down was syria and now there is yemen don't you think that at least in part the iranian influence that you are so concerned about is growing because all of the opportunities that were handed to it by israel or israel's allies no way i mean to accuse east for iran being a state that would not accept the right to fish oil to exist that supports still the way they think in yemen how this is connected to it and listen it is most important to discuss the situation now and what need to be done and that's i said before let's take an example it's a totally slogans designate that though we still got these asian we don't fund we're talking about living on the states what kind of state. which is big in france and in a way the proxy off another state in the re

major deadly threat to israel that has to be curtailed through all possible means at my ride in formulating your position yes not only for recently politicians so we believe that iran is a poem to us well but not only to you but to the into. and therefore we need to be dealt with the international community as such. i see him prime minister netanyahu who recently visited russia communicated something along those same lines to russian president vladimir putin do you by any chance know what how the russians have responded to those concerns raised by the israeli prime minister i hope they would understand that these were. the sort of concern. of the concerns of other states in the reason they're not only listen iran is both of the problem iran would not accept the right of israel to exist the wrong course below which is a total waste in lebanon and iran support still in the region and final still in the region and though full we all understand that there's a need to give an answer of course and to confront. their doing in the region but we also need to conform to minimize and to wo

palestinians israel now wants to have a say in the resolution of another conflict this time in syria its objective is clear to minimize the regional influence of iran but is it a little bit too late in the game well to discuss that i'm now joined by believe me a prominent israeli politician and former foreign minister of israel ms levy it's great to see you thank you very much for talking to us thank you now you are currently in the opposition to use reilley prime minister benjamin netanyahu by this far as i understand when it comes to the issue of iran most israeli politicians agreed that it represents a major deadly threat to israel that has to be curtailed through all possible means at my right in formulating your position yes not only for recently police station so we believe that iran the supposed to use word but not only to you but to be into . and therefore we need to be dealt with the international community as such. i see him prime minister netanyahu who recently visited russia communicated something along those same lines to russian president vladimir putin do you by any chance

twelve's apart after years of being unable to strike a peace deal with the palestinians israel now wants to have a say in the resolution of another conflict this time in syria its objective is clear to minimize the regional influence of iran but isn't it a little bit too late in the game well to discuss that i'm now joined by three believe me a prominent israeli politician and for my foreign minister of israel ms levy it's great to see you thank you very much for talking to us thank you now you are currently in the opposition to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu by this far as i understand when it comes to the issue of iran most israeli politicians agreed that it represents a major deadly threat to israel that has to be curtailed through all possible means at my right in formulating your position yes not only for recently politicians so we believe that iran is a poor world but not only to you but to the entire and therefore we need to be dealt with the international community as such. i see him prime minister netanyahu who recently visited russia communicated something alon

regional cooperation with the arab countries that wanted regime change in syria to serve israel's interests but now america has changed its policy this policy now avoids direct confrontation with assad because they simply cannot afford it. they understand eisel which they supported is acting against syria and against the us how can the us support a militant group which they cannot control and which does not do what they want that is why president trump decided to focus and fights nicely but this didn't mean he became an assad supporter. this means he wants to solve the problem of islamic states which has caused the global crisis he wants to deal with this wild monster which they raised and try to use to serve their own interests it turned out that the monster attacked its master. i don't think the us has another choice this doesn't mean they will begin to support hezbollah and iran this just means that miracles form a policy collapsed so it took another way according to their interests. why does the west in general fear so or are scared of a stronger as well larger stronger iran in the regi

leader mahmoud abbas urged the u.n. to end what he described as israel's apartheid regime and the palestinian territories also this week palestinian human rights groups have submitted a seven hundred page report to the international criminal court alleging that a high level israeli officials have been complacent and war crimes in the israeli occupied west bank and east jerusalem joining me now to discuss this as an investigative journalist max blumenthal ther of the lie of life and loathing and greater israel and the fifty one day war ruin and resistance and gaza thank you so much for joining us max good to be now i want to start with israel claims palestinians rejected the so-called partition plan but has israel respected the resolution one eighty one or coming up on the anniversary of resolution one eighty one and i think that's why it's important to discuss it a lot of people don't know what it is but they think it established the state of israel the state of israel asserts its sovereignty as an exclusively jewish state that has the ability to maintain a demographic majority of

israel and all its wars the chinese are supposed to forget about the intervention of the us in their civil war have to who are loyal to the koreans are supposed to forget about the divestiture and of their county the latin americans are supposed to forget about the over tool of arbenz of id in the of even the i mean you know it's just fantastic the way they see the world they are the bad guys that pop up out of nowhere and if you consider for example that he actually united states nine eleven all to the harsh again the harsher hysteria now which as far as i know a little bit is in fact. you know you see that i mean nine eleven it's hundreds of thousands of people killed to count three she really did and then they expect everybody is to hear a coolie to what the us is doing to them and this is in sin and you know as you said your. i mean how would you expect to have a deal with the u.s. if now the u.s. is saying that's great just how to deal with it exactly let me let me go to let me go back to you and i think i'm going to work but we've got to get everybody in here and to let me go t

agree with ok but they're looking to overturn that iran will be next and when israel did commit an air strike in syria from lebanon so they syria from lebanon the story the official story from israel change that first they were bombing a chemical weapons plant then they were bombing hezbollah so you can see the israeli press working with the mainstream media in the west to adjust their story away from chemical weapons which no one really wants to hear anymore two or more where we're protecting it gets hezbollah we're fighting has blood that's we're fighting in iraq well i would say that there is also the war on the reported. in the western media in one for example of russia and. the russian aviation destroyed their minister of war or the so-called islamic state who is none other than groom or old high level. former tajik special forces officer trained into the us who basically defected due to the isis spoils and fifteen in order to fight their asses regime and who could please don't call but you rush really. georgian descent who also fought against russians band who volunteers poli

most to discuss the ever changing relationships and by a member of the united states and israel to the. all the series of. the world series. and you'll get it on the old the old. according to jewish. world cup i am sure there are. of all foreign policy debates in the u.s. the one over our relations with israel tends to draw the most outrage and polarization every apac a vendor of hundreds of thousands of protesters with palestinian flags and musicians mere belief in the need to boycott israel's government over human rights these two calls for censorship but even as the public debate rages on a quiet shift has been taking place inside the jewish american community as northeastern university is middle east center director waxman explain and his book trouble in the tribe the american jewish conflict over israel for more on that growing political divide and its deeper roots professor waxman joined our show earlier. this is a change that's been going along. in decades. all of these generational changes young. all will be good just a little so i'm willing to be outspoken a little cliques but

and a. lack of a single clue. that israel can sell for a while was selfless and critical to soften these cuts will show them the story they could do to assure the work that. they're bred for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. eight months of intensive school. wraps. and they save lives. the international community continues lee emphasize about one or united iraq as a slogan maybe an approach will be politicians but in reality on the ground iraq is not one and we recognize united and that we as kurds are not the ones to be blamed school what is happening in the rest of iraq and the direct wrong directions that iraq has gone through. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit suicide watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects . was is generally all to what i did

israel in the region we should stand up against . right now the kurdish regional government is taking steps towards the division of iraq as have the u.s. and france the united states strongly opposes the iraqi kurdistan regional governments referendum on independence planned for september twenty fifth germany meanwhile suggests the referendum be postponed until the defeat of eisel we can only warn against one sided steps on this issue the unity of iraq is on the line redrawing the lines of the state is not the right way and could exacerbate an already difficult and unstable situation looks like the only foreign supporter here is israel while israel rejects terror in any form it supports the legitimate efforts of the kurdish people to attain a state of its all the kurds are very likely to vote yes nearly ninety nine percent did back in two thousand and five during an unofficial vote but will this change anything for them iraq says it won't recognize the results turkey and iran are threatening sanctions in case of independence and even the kurdish leadership admits there might be war. p

looks like the only foreign supported here is israel while israel rejects terror in any form it supports the legitimate efforts of the kurdish people to attain a state of it so the kurds are very likely to vote yes nearly ninety nine percent back in two thousand and five during an unofficial vote but will this change anything for them iraq says it won't recognize the results turkey and iran are threatening sanctions in case of independence and even the kurdish leadership admits there might be war. we will face border problems in the near future and i definitely think that there will be in the other war and soon. while the outcome of the vote is pretty clear the consequences might be unpredictable. the very latest news views on reaction to the twenty seven doing german federal election again the top of the hour to join me that. below and welcome to cross talk or all things considered i'm peter. trumpet morphs into a neo-con well that didn't take long also the world disorder after the united nations general assembly speeches and why does morgan freeman hate russia so much. talking

pakistan's a nuclear power israel's a nuclear power all five members of the security council who are engaging in sanctions against d p r k some with different positions of course the us being the most bellicose they're all nuclear powers at one time the united states said of the soviet union had nuclear weapons the sky would fall and they must have preemptive nuclear war that was a doctrine same with quote red china in the one nine hundred fifty s. and yet over time the united states acclimated to the reality and thus began a process of normalized relations even even with its targeted enemies the countries that didn't want to have nuclear weapons but but stood now d p r k has left the n.p.t. the nuclear nonproliferation treaty in the early part of the two thousand they had the right to do so they were labeled part of the axis of evil by george w. bush as bush prepared to carry out the destruction of iraq which he did and killed their leadership so we know where north korea is going they feel that these weapons are existential to their defense they're not giving them up the u.s. has t

defense industry interests and the interest of israel in regards to the so-called neo conservative agenda in the middle east it's an israeli agenda israeli let agenda and this is a president that is very chummy with benjamin netanyahu and he's appointed his son in law as a middle east envoy who's a property developer and a website owner and otherwise a small tycoon from manhattan i mean what is this this is a complete disaster in terms of u.s. diplomacy and foreign policy it's a problem that's. a ticking time bomb potentially diplomatically no leadership the generals or whoever the pentagon is running various aspects of u.s. foreign policy and meanwhile half of washington doesn't seem to have gotten the memo that we lost in syria that syria was not a civil war syria was a proxy war we spent billions of dollars we flooded the region with weapons peoples heads should be on the chopping block in the legal sense for that and no one's talking about this. blaming rove various other words what we're talking about and i think a good part of media should be on the same chopping block thomas let me

for a pack in israel that's for sure knowledge that we're going to use a lot more excited arabia and we'll see how it works and i can assure you that. times will continue in france in some days because usually when they start to complain again it could be any. interest you have to or to. be a week and it would start in front. to protect the public spirit quote unquote by the powers that be i see there is a pattern here i see this. in meddling which have not been proven at all no no ok and not at all. the starting of saying sions taking a property in the united states now this campaign against our team sputnik i have i think of one individual very often julian assange because if you have embassies that are being violated under international law. he could be told picked them to the same procedures in attacks of the united states is done and it's always the same with the us who are getting the ok so it's a day view so everything is a lot against it what you're talking deviance you're talking questioning. the new york times represent. decisions is that that's that is they have big proble

israel meanwhile have between fifty one hundred forty bombs each why when we know the threat they pose to the continued existence of human civilization our nuclear weapon still such a significant part of the global arsenal and how can we prevent their spread and maybe even do away with one them once and for all joining me now is joe cirincione president of the ploughshares fund author of several books including most recently nuclear nightmares securing the world. before it's too late joe welcome back to the program thank you tom pleasure to be here it's been too long so yeah i thought first of all just like a baseline is there such a thing as mutually assured destruction yeah it's a fact of life it's not a strategy or theory it's the fact that countries have enough nuclear weapons that no other country could attack them and hope to eliminate all those weapons so if a country a attacks country b. country b. is going to be able to retaliate both countries would be destroyed in the process of nuclear war is an act of suicide in effect so is that the is that the thinking in your opini

expected. palestine has become a member of the international police organization known as interpol israel has already reacted to the move by saying it violates agreements between tel of you and the palestine the palestinian and ministration interpol joins a long list of international organizations to recognize palestine statehood the territory declared independence in november one thousand nine hundred eighty eight and was recognized by dozens of countries including every arab state the soviet union and its allies more states file suit over the next two decades a breakthrough for palestine came in two thousand and eleven when it was accepted to unesco a year later even more significantly the un general assembly upgraded palestine to a nonmember state authorities in palestine have praised the country's acceptance into interpol this is a clear message to the rest of the world that by this time it is a member of this international community believes firmly and the laws that govern the behavior of civilized nations. not just. population centers at the most you know is there but that the natio

between israel and palestine twenty four years ago this was to raise a lady friends her record from jeremy corbyn to the united nations at the last pm cues before conferences and told us about going over part two of going underground . in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around quite recent operations from washington the washington post media the media the. voters elect. to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . prescribe medication is widespread on the u.s. market and a frequent cause of death and. i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit suicide watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctor scold us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects. was. what i did was. legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's same. welcome back today marks a quarter of a century to the day since britain was forced to leave something called

israel or the balkanization of or that region this is all part of the plan and everything's going as planned. and harry i experts would definitely agree with you there saying that the syrian army can only focus on one terrorist organization at a time now and a tweet by a former cia operative i haven't mcmullan i want to read you something he said he said my job and if the i.a.e.a. with to go out and convince al-qaeda operatives to instead work with us now does this help explain why al qaeda is so strong in syria right now yeah well i mean it's it's it tells you a lot i mean first of all i mean you know you have to remember that this is the the organizational kind of that we spent sixteen years and six trillion dollars and but this was our you know existential enemy and you know now the cia personnel are saying well you know you are partners so that's that's one good point to remember what helps discombobulated this whole thing is to make a statement like that i read that statement and since remarkable he later tried to say that when a college professor suggested the same thing he sai

jeremy corbyn in its campaign to unseat him as leader of the british labor party israel security. the ability of a society to provide housing health care social security jobs education. for its entire population or israel's security to spend a phenomenal amount of money which damages much else of our industrial base on weapons of mass destruction that can only bring danger and threat to the rest of the world well we recently caught up with a tireless campaigner against britain's weapons of mass destruction campaign. aimed at the edinburgh festival the scottish politicians over sheridan was expelled from a historically right wing labor party in one thousand nine hundred nine and he has been to jail for his opposition to british nuclear weapons well ahead of the sixteenth of september i'm with tommy sheridan near it the bar of the gilded balloon theatre in edinburgh we think so what you're agreeing to speak to us resumes government maintains absolutely that it is westminster government itself who controls the nuclear deterrent here based here in scotland will islamist things through is

this i was at the u.n. when awkward division had came and said israel should be wiped off the face of the earth he said that for one reason it was it wasn't because israel is a challenge to iran israel isn't going to invade iran it doesn't one of iranian territory he did it because he doesn't like the jewish people the israeli people he wants them wiped out of the middle east and president trump came out and said in his u.n. speech yesterday that you can't as a member of the u.n. building up your own country doesn't mean talk about talking about a blitter raiding another company a country that is no threat to you at all and i'm glad he stood up for israel and i'm glad he called out the iranians on that it needed to be done but according to certain state to listen to rand is living up to the room well look what the president said is it was a it was a bad agreement and it was a bad agreement we got taken to the cleaners the iranians were suffering under very crippling sanctions that we've gotten a number un resolutions passed and the iranians were going to face a choice of either having
