iran, israel, syria. i would argue russia sees itself as being in a fortunate strategic position but tactically rather delicate position that it has to maneuver among these three points of the triangle, if you like, but it also is strategically fortunate in that it alone is able to talk to everyone in this configuration in a frank and direct manner without rupturing ties irrevocably. that is attributed to russian diplomacy and strategy in the middle east, which has been to establish durable contacts and partnerships, working partnerships if you like with everybody without getting bogged down in supporting one side or the other in the conflicts, because the united states does not talk to a side or iran. russia can talk to israel as well as it talks to assad and the government in tehran. have to keep in mind because -- again, that signifies a major russian victory and it is something we have to keep in mind because syria is not the only place in the middle east. moscow is increasingly active across the midd

with regard to iran and israel, moscow fully understand that israel will not try to undermine asad, that israel is not anti- russian as far as middle east interest go, but it is determined not to have iran threaten its vital interests are the problem is that for iran, asad ruling over all of syria in establishing or permitting massive iranian presence and a landline all the way to the mediterranean through lebanon to support hezbollah and other terrorists is of vital interest for the government and tehran as well. therefore moscow is trying to forge an equilibrium between iran and israel so that iran can get much of what it wants, namely asad will rule syria and they think the united states had or did before helsinki and that iran will allow itself to be evicted from the area around israel. ten days ago moscow proposed in jerusalem that iranian forces be kept due to miles and they abide by the 1974 agreement and that they would guarantee it. the israelis turned them down flat. just some consternation or surprise in moscow because israel's policy is that the iranian military in syria has

israel concluded an agreement with the p.l.o. which has this flag so i don't know why he is using this language which is very dangerous but more than that he is right he is right in saying that it did not change much because actually israel has been a racist country and nationalistic chauvinist stick state that is practicing apartheid in the worst form of apartheid much worse than what south african apartheid system was. this law is not the only thing this law is a basic law and that means it's constitutional which means it makes israel officially apartheid the rest state for jewish people only it does not identify the borders of israel which means that the system of discrimination includes not only palestinians inside but also palestinians in the west bank and gaza strip which. since fifty one years also it includes syrian people who are living in the golan heights it also includes the druze community which is part of the palestinian population that has been cooperating with this israeli regime and now it is discriminated agains

refusal to exclude the definition of israel as a racist endeavour from anti—semitism. any state is a racist endeavour. if you do not include the statement, you virtually exclude israel from the group of civilised nations, so you have to include it. i think this is a terrible and sad and depressing mess. and i agree basically with ned's view of where it comes from, although i might put it slightly differently. but i think we are now in a situation where the telegraph headline this morning on the front page says, "corbyn is an anti—semite, says munich survivor". this is being used by people on the right to attack corbyn and the labour party. i would say anti—semitism is far more rife on the right notjust in britain, but all over europe, than it is in the labour party. but there is this particular tradition on the left, an anti—imperialist tradition which goes from supporting the rights of palestinians to self—determination, which is extremely important, and which is often elided and wiped out in discussions, with a kind of criticism of israel which can shade into
